They crossed the yard again and en-
tered the back door OF the house, and
passed into q back room on the left
hand side.
For the understanding of the scenes
that followed, 1T Is necessary that this
room should be described.

tered We're two long windows, opening
upon the end of the piazza; on the left
hand, two similar windows, opening
upon tire back piazza; on the right
hand was another door, connecting
with the adjoining front room. The
floor was covered with a straw mat
ting: the windows shaded by straw
blinds. between the two end windows
stood the head of the bedstead, draped
with white dimity: between the two
back windows stood a toilet table, SIM
ilarly draped; a wash-stand stood in
the corner between the two doors:
straw-bottomed chairs filled up the
spaces between the other furniture
along the walls.

city's condition in an intelli
gent matter. THE destiny oi
Dallas is in the hands of its cit.
liens. By cooperation and
proper management it can be
made a splendid and prosper
Gus city. 1t is backed up by
agricultural surroundings that
can not be excelled anywhere on
this continent, but. in order for
a city of the population of Dal-
las to thrive and prosper its in
habitants must be profitably
employed they must have whole
some relations to resources and
instrumentalities of trade. 1t
is gratifying TO notice the deep
interest now manifested by the
people of Dallas in this connec-
ton. The idea of commercial
independence seems to be in the
atmosphere. Witness the act
ivity of the Commercial club.
the Home Industry club and
the like. A grand opportunity
is presented to the men of af-
fairs in this city to place it and
keep it where it ought to be.
Conservative plans presented
by conservative business men
will enlist cooperation from
outside capitalists. The time
is ripe for it. The thing is to
stimulate and encourage the
large property holders of this
city to inaugurate great indus
trial enterprises in Dallas. The
subject has been discussed
enough and the time for action
has arrived"

A CONVERT TALKS.
Steve Burke, Formerly OF Ardmore.
breaches Temperance TO the People
Of Perry-wm Write Book.

a large audience greeted the
well-known ex-deputy marshal
at the Baptist church Sunday
night. This was his second
formal sermon since being con-
verted at Perry month ago.
After being introduced by Rev.
Holt, he came forward from a
seat in the audience and, with
out text. started in.
He has an attractive presence
and an apparent sincerity. He
told his personal experience,
which has been that of drink
er and all round sport forseyen-
teen years. Il have had more
real pleasure in the four weeks
since | shook off the devil and
took up the Lord than in all the
seventeen years previous to
that" He depicted how he was
reared on a southern plantation,
amid plenty; how he started to
drink and what it brought him
to. He made an impressive
personal temperance lecture.
1t was a surprise to all, the
plain way in which he told what
he had been and what he pro-
posed, under religion, to be.
he was embarrassed, a little
nervous, of course, but showed
much natural talent in public
address. He reasons well, has
much philosophy and rich senti-
ment, and proves an early edu-
cation and cultured raising.
There was nothing indelicate in
his talk. 1t was the plain story
of the evolution and revolution
of his nature.
Burke would make a good
preacher and could do much
good in this line. He is writing
a book, Seventeen Years i'm
Hell-The Dark Side of Life"
and says he will devote the bal
ance of his life TO the cause of
reformation. - Guthrie State
