 Texas freed herself from Mexico in 1886 and was for nine years republic recognized by the United States, Great Britain and France. As soon as the people of Texas had thrown off the Mexican yoke they asked to be admit ted 10 the Union. The presidential campaign of 1844 was foughG on the question of the admission of Texas. In March 1845 Congress adopted the bill of annexation. In July the Texan leg islature ratified the act of annexation. Does American history show that the state of Texas came into being in con- sequence of "criminal aggression" and without the consent of the governed?

While the English are actually carry ing the war into Africa suppose that the Boers should (hguratively speaking) "carry the war into Africa" by inducing some of Great Britain's enemies to cap sure London.

To 8 number of the readers of "In His Steps" it will be interesting to read the Hartford Times statement of a newspapers duty to it's readers concern ing the reporting of prize fights.
 The Times says:
 Any event which actively interests many thousands of people has to be chronicled by newspaper. The way in which it is treated is the papers own responsibility. It may record it from the standpoint of those who are most interested or least interested; it may, if the subject be foul or immoral. tell the story with an evil. minded smack and unctioD, or so ss to imply the feelings of decent man or woman, but it must tell it somehow, and is mor- ally bound 10 tell it so that the case is presented fully enOugh to it's read- CTS to form an intelligent opinion if they are capable of forming one.
 Ia this matter of prize-fg a very large part of the community is interest ed and believes itself able to form an opinion In a match like that of Jeffries and Sharkey full and intelligent &C., count is required of any paper of gen. eral circulation Providing 1t is mat ter of course. even if this envolves extra expense. But having met tue demand no paper has any reason to apolog z because it fears some of it's readers may find fault. It has done that which every reasonable man ex- pects of it, probably neither more nor less. If it thinks it has done more it has right to pat itself on the back, and if it thinks it has done less it does we'll to keep quiet But if it thinks it has done we'll, it makes a mistake to cry out that it really had to be- cause so many rude or wicked people want the story that it dare not omit it
 We believe that paper which regu- larly and fairly prints the news as it is, owes no apology to any reader. It has done that which is the first duty of aDy newspaper and that is all there is to that part of the case. It may dis. approve of prize-fgbts and use it's edi- torial columns against them as much as 1t likes, but when one comes off it is news and has to appear in the news.
 The Courant takes much the same attitude and says that it prints all news as news and in such manner that any decent man can read it aloud in his asswing room without blushing.

What the Mouth Tells.

A certain philosopher declares that { woman is known by her mouth, not by the words that issue therefrom, but by the shape and color of the lips and tht lines and dimples that gather about this important feature. He is support ed in his theory by physiognomists who all endeavor to prove that no wo man with the small, red Tipped Cupid bow" mouth, so praised in song and story, was ever intellectual or generous of heart, and it Is consoling to those whose mouths are not in accordance with the lines of beauty laid down by the poets to be told that a wide straight mouth, with strong, white teeth" denotes the woman of su perior intelligence, goodness of heart strength of mind and a thousand and one other sterling qualities which one likes to think she possesses.
 It is the fashion at present for wo men to hold their lips slightly apart This is supposed to give that innocent wistful, wondering expression which was the peculiar property of tht heroines of old fashioned novels, but which bicycle riding and kindred mod ern amusements have caused to van ish. It Is difficult for the thin Tipped determined woman to acquire this trick, but perseverance works wonders Baltimore Herald.
 The Cardinal and the Reporter.
 Many instances are related of Cardi- nal Gibbons broad mindedness as well as his tact and diplomacy In avoiding religious discussions with persons whose views are opposed to his own. Upon one occasion, so the story runs, in Baltimore a young journalist was sent by his chief to interview his eminence upon topic of local interest. When the interview was over, the cardinal and his caller had friendly chat upon a variety of subjects, including the church. The journalist was Protest ant, and in the argument that followed he became excited and expressed him. self freely from his point of view. Upon returning to his office he reflect ed upon the outcome of his visit and came to the conclusion that he stood a fair chance of being discharged should the cardinal repeat the conversation to his editor.
 The next day his eminence dropped into the newspaper office tn question and asked to see the proprietor, who was his personal friend. The reporter was told of the call and quaked In his boots. The publisher and the cardinal discussed a matter of mutual interest to them, and before leaving his emi- hence said:
 By the way, you sent a young man to see me yesterday, and I was rather impressed with him. He appears to have the courage of his convictions. It would please me If you could do some thing better for him." Within a month the reporter who had anticipated dis missal received a gratifying promo tion.-Raleigh Colston Smith in New York Times.

"In Turkey the most beautiful and desirable woman Is the one who weighs the most" writes an American who has been sojournlng In the sul. tan's domain. "A thin and wlllowy creature would have no social standing in Turkey and would be total failure on the stage in Constantlnople. Un. less a woman Is fat she cannot secure an engagement In a musical hall, and the fatter she is the more enthusiasm she arouses and the larger is her sal ary.
 "On the evening after my arrival in Constantinople went to the Concordia Music hall, and there I saw more fem mine breadth, depth, thickness, heft and circumference than l had ever be- fore seen under one roof. The first woman who sang was fat; the second was fatter; the third was-no. not fat test, although she was much heavier than No. ?. She was merely the prom lse of what was yet to come. They were holding back the really big art ists for the finale.
 At last these two came on. They were sisters and they made a large family by themselves. The house arose in joy as the two vast, egg shaped ob- jects appeared on the stage. The Turks, who had been sitting stolidly in the boxes looking with dull uncon- cern at the frail vocalists who weighed less than 300, now strengthened up and clapped their hands"

sensational rise of last week has contin-

counts of good trade indicate that an eX-
traordinary business is expected for the en-
tire season. The rise in cotton as yet helps
manufacturers whose contracts cover pro-
