AN OLD MEErlNC.HoUsE.
Built to Serve as Place Of Worship OF
as Fort.

The Alma meeting house looms high
on rather barren hilltop. AS in many
of the Plymouth colonies, it was also
the military storehouse, and tradition
has it that loopholes were provided
above the first tier of windows, so that
in case of need the building could be
suffered and converted into a block
house. When the building was repaired
several years ago, cavity in the wall
was found filled with old-fashioned
moulded bullets. The building, which is
painted dull yellowish brown, is in
Cood repair both outside and in. lie
beams measure II by IA inches, ard
hear the marks of the broadaXe. At the
entrance are two old-fashioned loot
scrapers, relics of a careful generation
and of wretchcd roads. The pews are
of old-time box style, as at Walpo'c,
each a little compartment, entered by i
door. So high are the sides that were
it not for the open work of tiny carved
banisters surrounding the top, one
could, even under the preachers thun-
der, have mapped very comfortably and
unseen in the roomy retreat. There arc
four groups OF body pews, with SIX
pews to each, and bordering three sides
of the building is a string of twenty-five
pews, while in the gallery are double
rows, giving in all a very large seating
capacity. There are twenty four pane'
of glass in each of the present windows
but the original sashes held such tiny
panes that each window resembled
patchwork quilt.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue Of the FREIE
PREssE FUER TEXAS has po-
sitiveiy the largest circulation
of all German papers published
IN the State of Texas.
1t has over 400 established
agencies in the State, is mailed
to fully 700 post-offices, and has
an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, and
in Oklahoma.
It circulates from Galveston
to Denison, from Marshall to Ell
Paso and of course mainly in
the thickly populated central
and southwestern parts of the
state.
Three travelling men and our
very active local agents are con
tinuously adding new sub
scribers to the lists.
In consideration of these facts
the ''FREIE PREssE FUER TEXAS"
claims to be the best adver-
tising medium in the State of
Texas, where it is the object to
reach the German reading po-
pulation.

the house and kent her brood const ant1y
in sight. would stay long enough in the
hot afternoon to drink glass and to
give to each of us our portion.
She at once Frightened: she entered
upon her endless rounds of duties re-
freshed and revived. Those are glad
spots which we the reminded of when
we sit down to drink something COOL
ing. We never think of them when we
drink things that are hot.
1t is our unscientific, but, nevertheless,
positive opinion, that people do not drink
enough BY this we do not desire to be
understood to stand as the disciple Of
that cult that believes that man can guz-
zle beer like the intake of the city reser-
voir. There are too many men looking
around for hot springs to cure up a
case of kidney disease, to make such a
proposition logical. But the drinking
of water plentifully and the milk drinks
within reason is in our opinion, essen-
tal to good health.
Have you ever noticed what they do
to men who seek hot springs for re-
lief? They make them drink tanks of
| water; they soak them in water. It
| is supposed to have medicinal qualities;
\ yet, if the patient We're to drink as much
1
] be the same.
| Yes, water is a good thing. especially
! when you can set it pure fresh and
| sparkling, right from the mountains.
Beer, on hot day, is good, too, provid-
| ing man can do away with the idea
| that he must drink it UP like fire en-
! CINE at the only we'll in the block.
| And yet we are advised never to drink
| when we are heated; never to drink
| when we are exercsing never to drink
| when we are thinking, and finally never
| to drink when we are thirsty.
| Away with such doctrines. Let us
| drink and be merry. Not too merry:
| but just merry enough to look at life
| pleasantly and to see something besides
| the seams and rough edges: to forget the
Cabling gossip of gloating grumblers
| and GROWERS.
Let us not drink those things which
| will deaden or delude our brain, for
| there is pleasure alone in the act, even
| if the beverage is simple water-but let
| it be cool.

SINGER GOES TO VAUDEVILLE.
Charles Kent, the Famous Baritone
of Minstrelsy Quits the Black
Cork Troupe.

Charles Kent, one of the best minstrel
singers on the American stage, has gone
into the vaudeville field being a men,
Der of the singing comedy partners of
Dooley & Kent. Mr.. Kent is ballad
singer and interlocutor. He will best
be remembered in Butte as a member O;
w. H. Vests MINISTRIES and Primrose e.
Dockstader's Ministries. He is now play-
ing in Baltimore, appearing in vaude-
Vile at Electric park. Four years ago
Mr.. Kent was unheard of on the stage.
and in quiet way made his living while
residing in Ogden. Utah, by singing ut
concerts and entertainments. Work in
this line became so scarce that Mr., Ken,
applied to Primrose & West for a pos;
ton with their company during tour
of the west. Mr.. Primrose stated that
his company was filled, but after some
persuasion gave Kent hearing. Ha
was engaged and taken to New York.
where the kings of minstrelsy" put Mr.
Kent through the finest vocal training
possible. Since then the Utahn has
been climbing upward until he is now
considered the finest baritone in Ame,i-
can minstrelsy.

HOW GEORGE GOULD WoOED.
Watched Miss Edith Kingdom at Re-
hersal, While He Made Love
to Her.

When Edith Kingdom was the in
genue of Austin Days company, it has
been said by her friends, her position
therein was not Overcomfortable. They
added that whenever Miss Kingdom
scored a pronounced success in new
part the frigidity exhibited toward her
from certain quarters was intensified
At this time George Gould, heir APP
parent to the most elaborate railroad
system in the world, came a-woo;ng.
Dye see that binch?" said old Owen,
who has been doorkeeper at Days
theater since the food, dye see that
binch? Well, that's tn binch where
large Gould sat when he came coortin'
Miss Kingdom. Divil foot did he move,
either till / told him.
While the company was playing in
Berlin Miss Kingdom was cast for part
she did not desire to play. She consid-
cred it unworthy of her abilities. She
positively declined to play the part. 1t
is significant fact that Immediately
upon her return to New York in what
Mr.. Daily intended should be dire dis
grace the lady contracted her brilliant
marriage with Mr. Gould.

The Western Actor-Manager Finally
Downs Stories Circulated About
His DISPOSITION,

That the public may be mislead by the
reports circulated through the grudge
and hatred of some second class member
Of the theatrical profession is shown by
a little social gathering held in Chicago
at the closing performance of "What Did
Tompkins Do?" by the Harry Corson
Clarke company.
For number Of years it has been
understood in the west and northwest
that Mr. Clarke was crank of the worst
kind, bull-dozer and all around ras-
cal to work under. These reports We're
circulated by members of his company
