One of the best things taught in
our navy is to hit what is shot at
The Jack Astor Battery is getting
almost as much advertising as Teddy's
rough riders.
He ought to be, and probably will
be Captain Hobson when he gets
out Of that Spanish prison.
One Stone doesn't appear to be just
as satisfactory as another Stone to
the anti -Quayites, of Pa.
That Wall street regiment seems
to have been like great many other
things started in that locality-a
fake.
Tom Reed and John Sherman
might form an alliance; they are
both opposed to the annexation OF
Hawaii.
1t is not believed that Lieut.. Hob
son carried porcelain bath tub

perilous mission,
If Congress doesn't look out some
very questionable Legislation will be
put through under the war meas
ure" label.
The war-revenue bill provides for
bonds, owing to division OF the
Democrats in the Senate, just as Mr..
Mckinney wanted 1T 10 90
Senator Wolcott is unduly sensi-
tive over any reference to the fail
ure of the Bimetallic Commission s
visit to Europe. He couldn't help
the inevitable and nobody holds him
responsible, unless it be himself.
We trust that no Democrat will
vote for the adjournmentof Congress
until the war has closed and the
terms of peace been approved by
Congress. To do SO would be to
make serious mistake.
:. 1t is not surprising that Blanco
should have issued an order banishing
all foreign newspaper correspondents
from Cuba; he doesn't wish the out
side world to know how badly off he
is
Congress can appropriate money
in any amount that may be needed
and nature has made the average
American brave to recklessness. but
money and bravery must be directed
by brains, in order to obtain quick
and satisfactory results.
Lieut.. Carranza, manipulatorin
chief, of the Spanish spy system in
America ought to have known better
than to adopt de Lome's old plea
the incorrect translation of the in
eliminating letter obtained and pl b.
lished by the U. 5. Secret service.
What a Shiny lot these Spaniards
are, anyway.
The country hasn't the slightest
objection TO the volunteer soldiers
being allowed to vote in COMPRESSION

now before Congress, but it will oh

LAuD NOT THE oLDEN TIME

Laud not the dolts who pirate and mourn
the so-cailed good old times.
They no more match these better days
than dollars match with dimes
IT'S quite the fashion for some folks to
thus bemoan the past.
And at the best things of to-day growl deep
and look aghast;
II they were suddenly flung back CEN
tury or so.
Their faces would elongate to five yards Of
direst woe.
To miss the birthstone matches that we
use TO start fire
Would stir their tempers fathoms deep and
kindle high their ire;
To lack the railways, steamboats,. street
cas- with electric power.
Would turn these worthless inside out and
make their tempers sour.
The list might be increased up to a mil
lion things or more.
The lack of any one of which would make
these GROWERS sore.
How would the kindllest of these back
somersaulters like
To live where they could never see a swift
revolving bike?
No glass TO make their windows of, no
stoves nor coils of steam,
No modern carriages TO which to hitch their
brancinH te&mf
NO umbrellas to protect from sudden sur
or shower,
No labor-saving household things for maid
ems marriage dover?
Books few and far between, newspapers OF
the slowest kind,
Their items genuine antiques and dragging
miles behind;
No kilograms bright, new and crisp from
all the t1uiVarea
And all the world proceeding on the SEIZED
ule OF hearse;
Prime ignorance the atmosphere in which
CROPPED countless fools
Who could not read for lack OF books and
handy public schools
All sanitary science then a mystery pro-
found.
Germs OF disease abundant sewage soak
ing all the ground;
Folks who mysteriously thus were buried
meath the sod,
Said 10 be taken off because ut was the Will
of Cod"
The needles quite as ignorant as were the
common folk,
All laboring and tottering meath super
stition's yoke.
Away with all your palaver about the
good old times"
Ring DER their grave the merriest and
maddest joy-bell chimes;
Right glad are we that not for us were
those dark days reserved,
That only now in history are those an
tiques preserved,
All hail the thrice blest years which fill the
world with joy to-dayl
Thank GOD the good old times" with all
their ills have passed away.

THAT GREAT Sc:
BLAKE LEGEND.

@ HEWANEE was proud of old Blake,
y not for his graces, but because OF
hls one great virtue, constancy-con-
stancy to dead love usually impresses
people, possibly because most of us are
incapable of prolonged devotion.
Old Blake, as he was commonly
known, had been one of the early resi-
dents of the town, then mere prairie
village. At first he kept general
store. but as the village broadened into
muddy, ambitious town that called
itself city he narrowed his sphere and
had only hardware store. From his
manner one might have fancied that the
tered his heart.
He was a sour, obese old man, and
strangers complained of his grabbed
temper, but the inhabitants of Shewa-
nee would shake their heads and hint
at an early love affair and lifelong
devotion to a memory. People made
many allowances for the crusty old
man, because it is still generally be-
lieved that constancy and bad temper
go hand in hand. They even grew to
have local pride in the badness of his
temper.
His place of business was just across
the street from the courthouse. On
warm, summer evenings he would come
out in his shirt sleeves, tilt his chair
against a post and sit with his head
dropped forward, staring at the side
walk. If passer-by spoke to him he
only grunted in reply. He was sup
posed to be dreaming of his lost love
ut these times.
Women he frankly despised, but they
freely forgave his disdain on account
of his past. He had boarded with Mrs.
Patterson for 20 years and she treated
him as if he were rare and valuable
animal-the only one of his kind in cap
tivity.
"He has never really told me his
story in so many Words she said to
friend. "but I've learned it by degrees"
perhaps she meant by looking over
his personal effects at housekeeping
time. He has only one picture in his
room. A pretty girl with her hair fiat
and wearing a hoop. OF course. this
must be the one" Then Mrs. Patter-
son and the friend enjoyed peep at
this daguerreotype and sighed in mild
sympathy with the disconsolate lover.
'.What is it about sie?" asked the
friend to start anew the story.
HE Just cant bear the sight Of mince
pie and hollers like anything if | set it
near his place-nor he don't never eat
veal-I guess she must affixed EN- and
now he's set against EN-"
According to the tale of Shewanee.
Blake had been a very gay and hand
some young man-all ugly old men
we're handsome once and ladies whose
span is now yard were mere fairies
ut least they say so. While old Blake
was Sill young Blake he fell desperate
ly in love with schoolgirl. too young
to marry. He vowed be would wait 100
years rather than marry another wom-
an. In time they became engaged, the
long waiting was almost ended and the
wedding cakes baked when she fell
sick.
Among the gossips there was differ
ence of opinion about her disease
Some said brain fever and others spinal
meningitis. but both parties thought
she died on her wedding day, as was
quite proper. Blake was crazed with
grief and from that time he was a
mana cynic and q woman
halter. He then left his eastern home

Crippled by
Rheumatism.

Those who have Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all
the while. One reason of this is that
the remedies prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury and potash, which ul-
timately intensity the disease by caus-
ing the joints to swell and stiffen,
producing severe aching of the bones.

which seemed almost incurable.

Bridge COMPLETED.

Yesterday contractor W. NJ. Legg,
who built the new bridge over Sui
phur river, just above the Wilson
Bend Ferry, was in the city, and
announced that he had Just com
pleted the work, and committee had
inspected and accepted the work.
Bridge is a first class pile one, 278
feet long and above high water
mark. The committees in this city
will call upon subscribers today to
get the money to pay for the work
as agreed upon-citizens of Cass
county having done their full part
in furnishing all material.
We understand that Bowie county,
through its commissioners, has
agreed to bridge Elliott's creek,
then a public road will be opened to
this city, which will bring thous-
ands of dollars worth OF trade mere,
from that portion of Cass county.
Thus Texarkana continues to
spread out and take in new terri
tory, so as to build up a larger
trade.
Before fall we should build, or
rather help citizens across Sulphur
build, another bridge somewhere
near the state line. Let us ever be
alert for the good of Texarkana.

LARGELY ATTENDED FUNERAL.
The Remains Of Charles A. Steiner
Brought Here For Burial.


Mention was made in this paper,
before. of the sad accident and
death of Charles A. Steiner, who
was run over and killed while on his
line of duty as superintendent of
motive power of the 7. & P. road
at Ell Paso, Texas, which happened
on last Saturday,
While in life, Mr.. Steiner claimed
this place his home, having married
here, and having shipped his wife's
remains here for burial, who died
at El Paso some two years ago, his
remains were shipped here to be
deposited by her side in the Cath
olic cemetery.
Mr.. Steiner was the Oldest engi-
neer on the road in point of service
and it was he who pulled the throt-
tie of the first 7. d P. locomotive
into this place, when it was 4 will
derness of logs and brush, and he
has remained in the service of the
road since that time.
His worth and standing with the
road, and his brother locomotive
engineers can be better stated by
saying that fully 6ftY locomotive
engineers came here from dis
tance to attend his funeral, In
addition to the engineers, many
conductors and brakemen were on
hand to heap clods upon the last
resting place of this good man.

of Dallas and, Supt. Lige Campbell,
of Marshall, were both here to at
test to the esteem in which they
held the dead engineer

church was very impressive and the

hearse was another attest of the
worth of the man whom everyone
who knew him respected.
