Skeleton In the Closet.

The original of the singular saying,
"A skeleton in the closet" which Is
found in almost every language in Eu-
rope, Is found in one of those curious
collections of stories which the monks
Of the middle ages were fond Of max.
ing both for their own amusement and
for the instruction of youth. In one of
these collections, compiled by an un-
known hand about the middle Of the
tenth century, there is a story of a
wealthy lady who. having a secret
grief. confded it to a friend who was
apparently a perfectly happy woman.
She was the wife of a nobleman who
lived in his castle in the south Of
France. She and her husband We're
outWardly on the most loving terms.
Not care cloud seemed to cast a
shadow on her path.
After hearing the story of her aftlict-
ed friend the noble lady took her by
the hand and led her to Il secret cham
Der adjoining her bedroom, there open

said, mo one is happy. Every day l
am forced by my husband to kiss this
grinning death head, which Is that of a
gentleman who was my husbands RI

Man Who Declared Texas

by Former Colleague.

Dallas. Tex. March 29-several DAYS

what manner of man this pharisee Is that
he goes off into the high mountain and
seeks 10 impeach the integrity of honora-

He says in his speech that the Iegisla-
