so carloric he offered to put up $500
against 500 and deposit the money with
Wolf, on Main street. The operators OF
the Western Union quickly raised the
500 and eagerly went on run to call
The McKlnleyites bet, but to their
chagrin they discovered the blower had
docamped. Thus it is with nine In ten
OF the McKinleyites; what they lack IN
subs tantial facts they make up In wind
and bluff. 1t is disgusting to read OF

Texas is far down toward the foot OF
the procession in up to now sports" said
a devotee Of baseball football and other
athletic nastime to a reporter for The
Post yesterday. There is no need of
this lamentable condition in this great
State. Texas young men are the equal
of any such class in any other State in
strength, endurance and IN fun. AS a
rule, where these young men are pro
hibited frSm these exciting and health
full games they get into much worse bust
ness. Teas has several of the most
progressive and important cities, in
business sense, if not in population, in
the entire South. Yet q humber Of South
ern cities have already held their carui
walls, horse shows and other modern
mirthful and instructive shows. Mean
time Texans get along with the same old
circus it had thirty or forty years ago.
There is much room for Improvement
along this line. and surely TeXas-which
is enjoying the greatest prosperity 1t
ever had just now-should get started ON
making it,
