A Texas Girls TRANSFORMED ton.


James Barton Adams in Denver Post.
She was a Texas maiden. she came Of
low degree,
Her clothes were worn and faded, her
feet from shoes were free;
Her face was tanned and freckled, her
hair was sunburned, too,
Her whole darned tout ensemble was
painful for to view!
She drove a lop-eared mule team attach
ed unto a plow,
The trickling perspiration exuding from
her brow.
And often she lamented her cruel, cruel
fate
AS but poo whites daughter down in
the Lone Star State.
No courtiers came to woo her, she never
had a beau
Her misfit face precluded such things as
that you know
She was nobody's darling, no fellows
solid girl,
And poets never called her an uncut
Texas pearl.
Her only two companions were those old
fiea-bit mules.
And these she but regarded as animated
tools
To plod along the burrows in patience up
and down.
And pull the ancient wagon when pap d
go to town.
No fires of wild ambition were surging in
her SOUL
Her eyes with tender passion she'd never
upward roll,
The wondrous world she'd heard OF to her
was but a dream
AS walked she in the furrow behind that
lop-eared team.
Born on that small plantation, twas there
she thought she'd die,
She never longed for pinions that she
might rise and fly
To other lands far distant where breezes
fresh and cool
Would never shake and tremble from
brayings of mule.
But yesterday we saw her dressed up in
A half dozen fellows were basking in
her smilel
She'd jewels on her fingers and Jewels in
her ears
Great sparkling. flashing brilliants, that
hung as frozen tearsl
The feet once nude and soil stained were
clad In Frenchy boots,
The once tanned face bore tintings of
miscellaneous fruits
The voice that once admonlshed the mules
TO move along
Was tuned TO newborn music as sweet
as SIRENS song!
Her tall and lanky father, once known as
SLEEPY Jim
Is now addressed as Colonel" by men
who honor him.
And youths in finest raiment now take
him by the paw,
Each in the hope that some day he'll
call him dad-in-law.
Their days of toll are over. their sun has
ris'n at last,
A gold embroidered curtain now hides
their rocky past;
For was It not discovered their little patch
of soil
Had rested there for ages, above a flow

The growth of the petroleum business
in the United States during the past
twenty years has been little short of mar
Vicious. The production in 1880 was %. 1885,
600 barrels; in 1900 the amount had been
almost multiplied by three, being 100000
barrels. The course of prices, too, has
been interesting. In 1870 the price of illu-
minating oil was 3O1z cents per gallon; in
1880 it was Sc per gallon and in 1900 it
was rs per gallon. There was no oil
produced in Texas previous to 1895. IN
that year oil was struck and Texas pro-
duced fifty-two barrels. In 1899 the Texas
production was col, 3OS barrels. This year
the production will run up into the mil
lions of barrels, and the end of the in
crease is not in sight. California, too,
has made great jump in oil. She be-
came producer in 1876. when she turned
out 12,OO0 barrels. Last year her produc-
ton was 100000 barrels

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun Dem) says: Some
of the Florida papers regard Mr.. Henry
NJ. Flagler, one of the Standard oil mill
lionaires as senatorial possibility in
that state. Mr.. Flagler has recently be-
come a full-fiedged citizen of Florida.
having a permanent home there and be-
ing a duly registered voter. While nomi-
nally a Republican, Mr.. Flagler's poll
tics are said to be of a very mild sort,
and he is held in highest esteem. Mr..
Flagler has done more for the develop
ment of Florida than any one man. He
has spent many millions in building hotels
and railroads in the state and is still
making immense investments there. All
that money can purchase in the way Of
comfort and luxury is already Mr.. Flag
lor's. and it would not be surprising to
see him, like other millionaires, seeking to
add to his distinction seat in the Unit
ed States Senate"
The Indianapolis Qnd) News (Dem)
says: 'Tn all probability the Republican
party will find 1t difficult matter to I'M
educate those whom 1t has educated on
vicious lines, and 1t certainly will meet
with great opposition to its efforts to
tighten the tariff burdens. For those in
whose interests those burdens have been
imposed are not going to surrender with
out struggle. Even now they are rally
ing for the fray. Senator Hanna, Mr..
Tayler and other statesmen of that school
are all against any measure of tariff re-
form. II will be a pretty fight. and the
people will hope that out of II good may
come 10 them"
The Columbia Is. CO State (Dem) says:
IAN the papers are throwing well de-
served bouquets at Sheriff Merrill who
stopped the Georgia lynching mob. But
when election comes around again the
dutlful sheriff may find votes less numer-
Gus than foreign compliments. II is this
consideration which influences the officials
who do not dare to do what the Carroll
ton sheriff did. They are afraid not OF
personal injury. but of popular dlsap-
proval and hence they hesitate or stand
aside We need more sherins like Joseph
Merrill.
