The sixty sixth anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence for the Republic of Texas,
March 2, was celebrated this after
noon by the pupils of the public school

conjunction with other exercises.
A very interesting program appro-

mary and intermediate grades the ex-
ercises consisted of songs, recitations
and flag drills, all OF which were pa
triotic In their character.
IN the High School auditorium the

Hill and Bosgue counties:
Dslias, Texae, Feb. 27.--Hon. J. A.
Beall, Waxahschie, Texas Dear Sir:
On hy return from Washington last
night found your communication Of
the 2ftb, inviting me to meet you in
joint discussions in Bosque ard Hill
counties on March and 8, which, you
state, appear to be dates not included
In my list Of appointments in Dallas

10 canvas this csunty from now until
the primaries are held here on March
18th, and my time will be fully occu-
pied dnriEg the whole OF that period.
Although the dates named by you
were not assigned TO any particular
points in my published list of appoint
menta, they were left for two import
ant points in the county to which /
expect TO go on those days, and my
friends left them blank TO await my
approval or my return here. Even II
these dates were not TO be filed in
Dallas county IL would be impossible
for me to visit Bosque and Hill coun-
ties at that time without disarranging
the dates already advertised here, as
YOU well knew, when you issued this
boastful challenge" and published in
the newspapers in advance of my
coming home.
Your conduct towards me In this
campaign has not been characterized
by degree of courtesy and consider
tion that entities you to claim any
concessions at my hands involving
personal Inconvenience or an altera-
tion OF my plan of canvass. / shall
make q canvass of both Bosque and
Hin counties bt fore the primaries are
held there, at which time will cen.
slider the propriety of dividing time
with you. You have been making IL
very bitter personal campaign against
me in my absence, have had your full
I hearing before the people without in
terruption or reply, and 1t is a ques-
| tion in the minds of all fair minded
| men whether you are justly entitled
To second hearing at the expense of
my time and to the muulation OF my
discussions of the great public issues
now before the country and In which
Congressman should interest him.

Two Clever Statesmen.

One crisis in Lord Palmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him in the upper
house with such energy and eloquence
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk Of one
day to the dawn Of another with such
tact, dexterity and force of appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted Of all blame by majority of
fourscore.
Next day in passing through the cor
ridor leading from ain anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that Of Lord Derby. They
were opponents, but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.
II was just thinking" said Palmer
ston, "what a clever fellow he was who
SO nearly put me in holev'
"Ah, !" was the rejoinder, 'sbut moth
ing like the cleverness Of the fellow
who got you out Of it!'

Clever Female Politician.

Miss J. N. Strong, private secretary
to ex-Congressman Hawley Of Texas,
is credited with being the cleverest
female politician ever seen in Wash
ington. She is conversant with every
county in Texas, knows every man of
prominence in the state and attends
to nearly all details of federal patron
age there. 1t is related of her that
she once went to see a cabinet officer
in regard to a place for a Texas con-
stituent. The official was not disposed
to give the place to her applicant, but
in pleasant and courteous manner
said: Il am sorry to disappoint you
after looking into such pretty brown
eyes," 1T seems to me then," was
the quick answer, that the ayes
ought to have it. The cabinet officer
was so pleased with the retort that
he made the appointment.

A Profitable EXCHANGE.

There are more ways than one of
earning a living. Riding in a steam
railway could not be called an ardu-
GUS way, yet it is one that might with
ingenuity produce modest income
in certain Spanish colony away
down in the south. The peseta is
here the current coin; it looks like a
franc, but it's value is a variable one,
that may be anything from IA cents to
20 cents. It happens just now to be
only IA cents, so the lucky foreigner
gets large amount of coin when he
buys change. But the government
for some reason or another think it
necessary to keep a standard value;
and in the steam railway the peseta
is still worth 90 cents, whatever its
value elsewhere. So the traveller who
pays for q 2-cent tram ticket with a
peseta receives Is cents change and
leaves the tram richer than he en-
tered it.

Fashionable Life In italy.

E.a=.r-'E rdSn1OnaU1e Lie IN Italy,
The fashionable season in Italy, says
Luigi Villari in italian Life In Town
and Country" is from Christmas to
Easter, the time generally known as
the carnival. At Naples, Messina and
some other places there lis also sum-
mer season. Commenting on the pc
culiarities Of life among the upper
classes, Mr.. Villari says:
italians, even in the grandest estab-
lishments, do not wear evening dress
for dinner unless there is party. A
black coat is enough for ordinary pur-
poses. A few men who wish to be par
tfcularly fashionable wear "a smoking
coat with black tie, which garment
is sufficient for all save very large din
ner parties and balls. On the other
hand. there are occasions when q man
dons his dress clothes by day. 1t is de
rigueur at court functions, even in
mornings, and at weddings. Ladies
wear hats at the theaters except on
gala nights They display more jew
ely by day than English ladies. The
Italian aristocracy have magnificent
jewels, and even in quite small towns.
where there is no great wealth, the old
families can make fine display. The
tall hat is only necessary at marriages,
funerals and at court Young men Of
fashion wear it also when paying calls
during the season. Among the bour-
geoisie evening clothes. are hardly ever
worn at ALL"

is one of the few foreigners to retain
their native customs in the legations.
On all formal occasions his guests
were greeted with baskets Of most
beautiful artificial flowers, the ware
used on the table was exclusively
Swiss, as were the dishes served. The
Plodas never gave up their peculiar
window draperies and every Christmas
they had a tree, from which every
Swiss resident in Washington got a
present brought from the little Euro
