MOTHER.

OF all sweet words e'er thot or spoken,
Fer penned by lord or beggar,
There's one to me more dear than all,
This simple word is mother.
But why should it so precious be?
lis made of but six small letters,
Yet bound within that narrow space
We find homes love in letters.
When in childhood's sunny paths of joy
strewn all the way with flowers,
We oft forget that for her joys
She's taken all our sorrows
But past and gone are childhood's days,
Youths sky is dark with trial,
But just beyond those darksome clouds
We see a mothers smile.
Oh! Call her friend? She's more than that.
She's dearer than any brother
friend is true when all is we'll
But in sorrow there's none but mother.
Time flies. 1t fingers no longer.
She too, is growing old,
And from her wrinkled brow so white
The same old story is told.
lis this IT'S we who have caused them.
Those wrinkles so many, and deep,
That tottering step, that stopped shoulder
What tales would they tell could they
lspeak.
We've caused Them we'll never dispute it,,
But gone are those actions OF yore,
There's one thing remains in our favor,
Well treat her as never before.
tOh! scorn not that face, sad and weary. 4
That face Oft uplifted In prayer
To our glorious Father In heaven,
To guide you and make you His care.
Oh!scorn not those hands hard and toll worn
They have gathered the thorns on life's
[way.
In memory fondly they'll linger
When earth's glories have faded away.

Mr. Chas. Bullock is candidate for

Mr. Chas. Bullock is candidate for
representative. This will be surprise
to many, but not to those who have
known how Charley has itched to get
back into legislative halls all these
years Mr. Bullock would make a
much better member than Mr.. Blume
however. He would be able to do
something for the location of Slate
Normal school here, which Mr.. Blume,
who was positively unknown to ma
jority of the members Of the last ses-
sion, c,uld never do. Mr.. Blume's
voice was never heard and his name
was not known, save when the clerk
read the roll.
AS a sample of political narrowness
we would state that the Bulletin makes
no mention of Congressman Lacey's
speech here next Wednesday-and the
Bulletin pretends to be newspaper.
Mr.. Cook shows by his editorials that
hs knows as little about republican
politics as he does about democratic
politics. Perhaps he will stay in one
party long enough some day to get fair
ly acquainted with it,.
The story is gong the rounds of the
state press that Gov. Shaw is to make
his home in Denison next year, is in
correct. As his children will be away
at school the Governor will give up his
Des Moines residence and take rooms
ut an hotel, but he will not make his
home in Denison until after the expira-
ton of his second term as Governor.

A Lively Ghost.

When the Texarkana q Ft. Smit
railroad went into the hands Of the
receivers, who are now administer
ing upon its affairs, one of its very
first acts was to snatch the road
bald headed and merge it into the
K. G. 2. & G. road, aud changed
many of the officers around, until
even the gentleman who built and
operated the first 40 or 80 miles Of
the same, under the name of the T..
& FIT. S. road, speaks of it now as
the Pee Gee,
This is all right with the receiv
ers, but the Texas Railroad com
mission which keeps an eye open on
the ra ilroads, have never given
their consent to the change in name
and calling on the receivers for a
statement as to how the road was
getting along in Texas, received the
following good report:
Gross earnings from operation
$3O6, 1852 35 operating expenses

ton great number is necessary. A
serious drawback in securing such
views is that it is necessary to take
these pictures in a haphazard way and
at long distance, so that it frequently
happens that the camerist does not get
the subject on his plate at all, or, if he
is successful in this respect, the object
is so small that it is not of much value.
camera mounted on a gunstock, the
invention of Benjamin ID. Sheffield, of
Livingston, Mont, promises to RENE
dy all this. by its use moderately large
views of birds on the wing will be Sc
cured, and there will not be the least
difficulty about getting the object
squarely on the plate. A student going
after these views will start out lust as
the gunner does, except that his cart
ridges will be sensitive plates, but he
would enjoy all the thrill and delight
which the gunner experiences without
any of the horror of taking life.
This gun camera, of course, is ap-
plicable to any moving object as well
as birds, but it is in this latter field
that it will be of the greatest scientific
value. 1t is operated in every way like
a gun, having two sights and two trig-
gers.
One of the latter sets the shutter.
while the other makes the exposure.
As il can be accurately aimed a narrow
angle lens can be utilized, by means of
which the object on the plate is greatly
as compared with picture
taken with the ordinary lens.

THINK 1T REAL SEA SERPENT.
Saw II in Midocenn-Wu Ger
tainly Strange Creature

The sea serpent-the straight goods"
this time-was seen in midocean by $50
passengers and the crew of the steam
ship New England, which arrived at
Boston from Liverpool.
Many of the passengers averred that
they had seen the much-tallled of sea
serpent on the voyage They certainly
saw very strange animal, the like Of
which no one on board. from the cap
tain to the mess boy, had ever seen be-
fore. Capt. McAuley when questioned
about the strange animal said that
when the ship was in latitude 1917
north, longitude 53.O9 west, his atten-
ton was called to an object off the STAR
board bow. which he at first made out
to be a ships boat or part of a derelict.
He thought that il might be a wreck,
with some people in need Of assistance,
and brought the steamer within about
40 feet Of the object, which still had the
of submerged wreck.
Suddenly a thin stream of water was
thrown in the air, and the animals it
proved to be-moyed off at right angles
to the ship, going through the water at
an eight-knot clip.
Capt. McAuley described the animal
as about 4j feet in length, with a carl
mated back, which projected about six
feet out of the water Its head was Wis
.ble for only "A few seconds The neck |
was elongated and the head hooded. |
The captain did not say il was a sea SER
1ent, but acknowledged it was the |
itrangest animal he had ever seen in his
10 years experience at sea.
