An UnsouEht Pardon.

Among the stories of that former
governor of Texas Familiarity known
as Sam Houston is more than one
amusing tale.
There was a financial agent of the
penitentiary who had warmly opposed
the election of Governor Houston, but
was particularly anxious to retain his
own pleasantly lucrative position. Con-
sequently the governor was soon in re-
ceipt of petition in which the mans
years Of faithful service and special
qualifications for the place were set
forth In glowing terms by himself.
The governor sent for him and said
gravely, 1T appears from this petition
that you have been in the penitentiary
eight years.
Il have, was the reply.
"And during that time you have per-
formed faithfully every duty that has
come in your way to the best of your
abilityT'
81 have" answered the agent, his
courage swiftly rising
"Then. SIR" said the governor with
the air OF one comforting n priceless
favor. II pardon you out"-Youth's
Companion.

several large coal oil lamps in wall

was a chandelier containing three
more. altogether giving good deal of
light. We were sitting at one side
smoking and talking, when In rushed
half a dozen drunken cowboys. headed
by a well known ranchman named
Bill Wells.
''The crowd were out for excitement
and didn't care how they got it. They
took several drinks and then clustered
around one of the monte tables. In a
few moments Wells insisted upon max

dealer objected. If you don't turn for

structed the commission to make :
record In every case 80 that the sec
rotary of the interior, under bis
supervisory suthorits. may be en-
abled to fntelligently pass upon every
case. Uunder date OF July %. 1883,
the commissioner was instructed In
letter from the commissioners OF In
dian affairs, which received the sp-
proval of the secretary Of the in
terror on August 8, 1889. in this mat
ter.
Besides the subjects coming under
the three divisions above mentioned
the commission discusses at the con-
clusion Of the report on Indian Ter
ritory matters of miscellaneous sub
jects. among which is the question
of the southern border line of the
Indian Territory. Il seems that on
the survey of the territory by the
geological survey it was found that
the Red river had at numerous
places changed its bad 50 as to leave
in the Indian Territory considerable
tracts of land which Is claimed to
have been purchased by the state
of Texas when the river ran north
of these tracts. The commissioner
of Indian affairs thinks that If the
river changed it's bed it is likely that
commission appointed for the pur-
pose would discover that changes
had occurred leaving tracts south
that were formerly north and that
on proper investigation 1t would be
found that as much of the Indian
Territory is now within the state of
Texas as there is land of that state
to the north of the Red river. He
says he will submit a special report
and suggests a draft of legislation
for the appointment of commission
to settle the disputed boundary be-
tween the state of Texas and the In
dian Territory.
No Recommendation is made by
the commissioner for the establish
ment by act of congress of terri
torial form of government.
The commissioner will probably
embody this in special report later
on.

Street Sprinkler for Clifton.

The A. c. Co. has ordered 6O0-gallon street sprinkler which will be here about the 10th of June. It will be paid for by subscriptions, and already the sum has reached $250, the price for the sprinkler being $425 laid down. The Era stated about three weeks ago that the question of street sprinkler was being agitated, and now the news will be pleasing to all the citizens of Clifton without regard to race, sex or color. It moreover be- comes great necessity on account of the streets being formed from or covered with concentrates from the leach works, and when it becomes dry, dust and copper accumulate, which is both disagreeable and detrimental to the health. Sam Price has charge oi the subscription list.

Neil Munro's "JOhn Splendid.

In late publication of the Bookmani, the leading journal of criticism of Great Britain, appears symposium or Neil Munro's last novel "John Splendid" MT. Munro is cousin to Neil Nun TO, connected with the mechanical de-
 partment of the A. c. Cc's plant in Cliff ton, who, like his illustrious relative, is Gaelic scholar, reading and speaking the language fuently. "John Splendid" is criticised as the truest and finest High
 land romance writer since Scott. Scot land itself offers to the novelist one of the greatest fields for romantic literature. Its beautiful scenery, unsurpassed, wherein is pictured mountains and lakes whose narrowed waters reflect the lovely foliage growing on it's banks, the charm of the tourist, the theme for the poet and nature's home for the painter. The typographical character of every country has it's corresponding action up- on the people inhabiting it, hence we find not only Scotch people rugged and strong physically but wilhal combining within them the gentler love of poetry, art and literature, besides possessing great qualities of mind that have placed them in the foremost rank if not at the head of the people of Europe. The very names that distinguish tine different clans and individuals possess a poetical beauty-McGregor, Adair, McPherson, Colin, Campbell, etc.-that portrays to the nearer the character of the people; while the names of Scott and Burns will find lodgment in the hearts ot genera tions yet to cJme. From their literature have the themes of the greatest operdtic music been written-German, Italian and French-Donnizette's "Lucia," Boi- leu's "La Dame Blaache," and Mendel- sohn's "Odes to the Hebrides," while the beautiful songs of Scotland are un- surpassed in their sweetness and sim plcity. Who has not set enraptured while listening to Robin Adair, Within a Mile of Edinburgh Town," and the loveliest of all, "Down the Burn Davy Lad" England's pride, hsr gardens, owe their beauty and perfection to Scotch heads and hands. In America, the de- scendants of the Scots have taken first rank in all the various callings, whether it be literature, b lsiness, tr in the me- chanic arts. The names Of Rockefeller, Gould, Armour, Carnagie, Blair and Sin ton in the business world; Grant and McPherson in tLe military; Bruce, Wal lace, and others in literature, attest to
