Texas always seemed to me
TO have an iil.deserved reputa-
ton for containing violent
and blood thirsty population"
said S. l.. Seymour of st. Louis,
this evening: Il go to Texas
five or six times year and have
traversed tue State from end to
end 90 times in the last Ii years.
/ want to say that the popula-
ton is as paaceable, gentle con
Siderate and courteous as any
in this country. There is an
amount Of sympathy and kiud-
ness displayed there that has
scarcely 4 counterpart in the
Union. AS sample, l will tell
you of a little incident | wit
messed in Galveston recently.
a motorman on an electric car
stopped his car to avoid run
ming over couple of puddle
ducks, and when the ducks fail
ed to move of the track he got
down. walked around in front
and 'shooed' them off. No wo'
man or child ever got on or of
a street car in Texas without
being assisted by the conductor,
1t was in Texas town, too
that l saw a small negro boy or
a street car who wanted to get
off but forgot where he lived
All he could tell was that hi
home was close to a grocery
store. The conductor stopped
at the first corner grocery ant
put him off. but the child LOOK
ed around and said that WASH
the place, whereupon he wa
taken aboard again. This was
repeated three times before til
Juvenile darby recognized hi
corner. don't think this coul
happen anywhere outside q
Texas; the electric car was tn
New South. but the humane an
patient conductor and the hell
less little negro were the o.

shows that the ordinary expenditures for

the total appropriations Of the Fifty
