Probable Extension.

1t is stated in a New York spe-
cial that the Gulf, Beaumont and
Kansas City railroad has made ar
rangements covering its financial
needs in extending its line from
its present terminus at Newton
vile to Waskom, where connec-
ton will be made with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railroad
and the Vicksburg, Shreveport
and Pacific railroad, traffic con-
tract with the former and track
age contract with the latter, for
an eutronce into Shreveport.
1t is also proposed to build a
ffty-mie branch from Jasper to
connection with the St. Louis
Southwestern railway at Lufkln,
on the Houston, East and West
Texas railway.
All the new mileage will be
built under the charter of the
Gulf Beaumont and Great North
ern Railroad company, which un-
der a recent act of the legislature
is to be consolidate d with the
Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City
Railroad company. 1t is said the
financial arrangements will en-
large the mileage fRom its present
line of Beaumont to Newtonvillc
seventy-fve miles by the addition
of the section of Newtonville tc
Waskom 1875 miles, making to-
tai of 2l0 miles that will be com
pleted this 8 ason.
Sixty per cent of the tonnage
at present consists of lumber, but
with the completion of the ex-
tension proposed cotton, grain
and other farm prouucts will
dominate. It's lumber traffic al
present is largely with the mills
at Beaumont.

Fair Falconets.

Falconry, which has now been
taken up by the young Duchess of
Marlborough and by several other
ladies of much wealth and distinc.
ton, both in England and on the
continent, is never likely to be-
come a common sport. Indeed, it
is very costly hobby, even the
most ordinary hawks used for fall
conry costing as much at 100
pounds apiece. They require
most careful attention, and it is
difficult to get men qualified to
take charge of them for a lower
salary than 200 pounds year. 1t
is the most scientific and difficult
of all sports, and differs from all
others in that it can be followed
in one form or another all the
year around.-M. A. p.

The Difference Explained.

The other day a little boy was
sent to a shop for penny worth
of cobbler's wax.
The shopman, thinking of quiz,
zing him, said:
"Won't shoemaker's wax do?"
CAV dooan't know" replied the
lad. "Aw'll 90 an see"
He returned again directly, and,
addressing the shopman, said:
mi father says that shoemak.
er's will do"
The shopman handed it to him,
smiling, and said;
"What is the difference?"
"Well," said the lad, going to-
ward the door, mi father says
theirs same difference as Their is
between you and donkey, and
that is, they're booath alike"
And then he was off like a shot.

y new and pleasing featrue in travel

rated on June 1 when the Rio Grande
Western railway began operating its

fatigue and will enhance greatly the

Loss of Life Great.

Later reports from the cyclone
at New Richmond, Wis, show
that it was of a most disastrous
character. To add to the horror
fire broke out and it is thought
that hundreds of bodies were ere
mated. Bodies were taken to the
Catholic and the Congregational
churches and the schoolhouses.
The fire burned over several
squares.
Eye-witnesses describe the cy-
clone as an appalling sight and
one soon not forgotten.
Estimates of the dead range
from 100 to 1000 and it will be
several days before the exact
number can be learned.

He Won Her.

Mr.. McManus is a very matter
of fact farmer and the father of
a number of very attractive girls.
A young farmer, in every way
eligible, was a sutton for the hand
of the second unmarried daugh-
ter.
mo, no. said old McManus,
when the young man had con
fessed his tender passion; "you
can not have the pick O my flock"
But" objected the young man,
"why should L be compelled to
wait until after the eldest of your
daughters is married."
ooh, you need not wait until
after" rejoined the farmer, "you
can have the eldest; they must all
be taken in their turn"
The young man was dumfound-
ed, but not dismayed. A
few weeks after double wedding
was announced to take place at
McManus' house. The young
farmer had persuaded his brother
TO take the eldest, which of course
left the way clear for him to the
second McManus says there is
nothing like making good, sensi-
BILE rules and sticking to them.

If you meet a young, beautiful
and stylish woman carrying a
music roll, beware. There are
nine chances out af ten that she
is a bill collector. That is the
latest device of lawyers who are
intrusted with the collection of
bad bills. The woman server of
court summons is old. The styl.
ish young woman with the music
roll as bill collector is strictly
new. Her employer insists that
she must be beautiful, that she
must be young, that she must be
stylish, and that she must carry
a music roll. The music roll is a
"blind" for the neighbors. 1t
serves also as a salve for the sen
sibilities of the aristocratic debt
ors. There can not possibly be
any neighborhood gossip about
the calls of a stylish young wom-
an carrying a music roll. She
may be a music teacher or a
friend of the ladies of the family
and has called to practice duets.
No one would dream of associa-
ting her with vulgar bill collect
or. Then the young woman car
ries certain prestige of her own.
1t is harder for the aristocratic
debtor to refuse payment to this
beautiful tailor-made young per
son than to a male collector whose
clothes are shiny. The young
woman with the music roll sell
dom fails of collection.

The Color OF the British Flag.

Let the British listen to this
story, which is an old but true
one, says a writer in the London
Post. Two young Beers were ar
guing about the color of the Brit
ish flag. One said it was the
Union Jack, but the other de-
clared it was the ensign. An old
Boer listening quietly settled the
question. give SEEM" he said,
"the British flag three times
once at Laing's Neck, once at Ma
juba and lastly at Doornkop-and
each time it was white"

The sexton in New York CITY.

"SeXton and Undertaken" is the
sign usually found affixed to or
near the New York churches. but
it does not mean that the sexton
actually conducts an undertaker's
establishment. He merely con
tracts for the funerals of the men,
bers of the congregation and sub
lets the work to what are known
as Wholesale undertakers, who at
tend to this class of work eXclu'
sively.
a twenty per cent. commission
is the sections share of the pro-
ceeds, and taking into considera-
ton the large membership of
some of the New York churches
and the elaborate funerals that
take place almost daily, it can
readily be seen that to be sex
ton is an honorable calling-fot it
is a business that brings in the
coin. The profits of a sexton in
one of the large downtown
churches is estimated at $4,000
annually from his funeral bust
ness alone. Weddings are not so
profitable, but they do fairly we'll
and are cheerful. He collects the
pew rents and takes his habitual
commission, he gets $40 for dig
ging a grave and hires a mere la
borer to do the work for 81; he
is paid for opening the church
and for closing il, and few other
things that keep him from starva-
ton. But there is one thing he
must look sharp after, and that is
his collections. 1t is a peculiar
fact, but people will stand off a
funeral bill as long and as cal
lousy as any other.-Detroit Free
Press.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants knowO to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
tiispelliug colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
TO overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process Of manufacturing fgs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities OF the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method

Hon. E. G. Bower of Dallas
has received information OF the
death on his ranch in Arizona of
Capt. Dave Poole, who was one
of Quantrell's trusted captains,
and known to every Confederate
soldier who followed the fortunes
of Gen. 10. o. Shelby's com
mand, which included Mr.. Bow
er, during the war between the
states.
Capt. Poole was a native of La
fayette county, Missouri, and was
81 years of age. Ills name is a
household word in many sections
of Missouri to this day, and his
adventures on the border with
Quantrell as Il guerrilla and Gen.
Shelby as a regular soldier would
fill large-sized book. He was
cbristened Francis Marion Poole
by his parents, who were South
Carolinians it is said, but his SOL
der comrades called him Dave,
and Dave it was until death
called him away.
After the surrender of Lee at
Appomattox Capt. Poole came to
Texas and was resident of Dali
las for while. Later he moved
to Colorado City and became
quite wealthy. Reverses came,
however, and he journeyed to
Arizona, where he became cat
tie raiser and ranchman. A wild
ow, several children AID a broth
Ell survive him.
In speaking of Capt. Poole Mr..
Bower said that he was one of
the bravest men he ever saw. Gas
a soldier he was as dashing as
Murat," said his Dallas friend,
"and the wilder the charge and
the more desperate the odds the
better it pleased him. He had
many splendid qualities and was
as honest as be was brave. The
survivors of Shelby's brigade and
thousands of AIissourians will
take more than passing notice
of the announcement of Capt.
Poole's death 1t will recall mem
cries Of ot,a'T7days, as well as
thrilling adventuyes in which he
figured, and deeds of caring re-
corded in those days of blood and
carnage.
capt. Poole was the greatest
mimic | have ever encountered
and many is the trick he played
in old Missouri in the early '60s. ?"
