Roc, the Pirate, Escaped From the
Spanish by Clever Trick.

Frank r. Stockton is telling st. Mich

Our Coast" In the February number he
describes the clever escape of Roc. the
Brazilian, famous pirate, from captivity
among the Spanish at Campeachy Mr.
Stockton says:
When he was coming into the bav Roc
had noticed a large French vessel that was
lying at some distance from the town, and
he wrote his letter as if it had come from
the captain Of this ship In the char
acter of this French captain he addressed
his letter to the governor of the town
and in it he stated that he had underst God
that certain companions of the coast, for
whom he had great sympathy-for the
French and the buccaneers were always
good friends-had been captured by the
governor, who, he heard, had threatened
to execute them.
The French captain, by the hand of Roc
went on to say that ii harm should come
to these brave men, who had been taken
and imprisoned when they We're doing no
harm to anybody, he would swear, in his
most solemn manner. that never, for the
rest Of his life, would he give quarter to
any Spaniard who might FAIL into his
hands. and he moreover threatened that
any kind of vengeance which should be-
come possible for the buccaneers and
French united to infict upon the Spanish
ships, or upon the town of Campeachy

From Texas.

The reform movement is moving right
along. People are learning as never be-
fore. Scarce money, low prices and hard
times are doing more to knock the preju-
dice out of some people than all else
put together. Populists are lining up all
over Texas and will make the incest
campaign they have ever made. There
is no foolishness aboard: it will be
clean, open fight, strictly on principles.
None but good men, the best we have,
will get place on our ticket and where
we can not do this we will leave the
ticket blank, rather than to place the
wrong man on it. And if we don't make
a mistake but keep ourselves unspot-
ted before the world, l think that the
state government will be taken out OF
the hands of the most corrupt gang Of
boodlers ever known or heard of and
placed in the hands Of the populist party.

A DRAMATIC INCONGRUITY.
Why Rip Van Wrinkle is the Only One

Joseph Jefferson arrived in Milwaukee

Possibly none OF you ever noticed it, In

Yes. this Is undoubtedly another of

II helghtens the effect for Rip to speak

and commenced to talk in the broadcast
