ALL "YITTLES" GONE UP
MEATS, VEGETABLES AND REsTAu-
RANT ORDERS ADVANCED.
The Cost OF Living Has Taken a Bound
in the Last Few Days and No
Relief Is in Sight.

Unless Some giant Of the Industrial am
phItheater gets the beef trust by the horns
the art OF living from now on IS bound to
become a serious one for Houston1ns as
well 40 other people.
Meats have risen high enough TO make
naughty the ornariest maverick that ever
lAmbled the prairie. Not only that, hut
las goes meat so goes the dxin's." Veg.
etahles have nearly all been raised 90 price
during the past week. so that the average
wage-earner can't touch them AZ all

strawberry Of Texas. These we're plentiful
at the same old figures, so there remains
the consolation that II one can't have ne.
cessitIes one need not be shut on from the
shortcake OF life.
Everybody who eats Is affected by this
new order Of things. Affected By IL IS the
man With the home and growing, grown or
family that is yet TO grow. The reason
many men are disposed 70 be "grouchy"
these days is none other than that the
prices OF necossaIies are not right. In the
account book with the stln red cover they
read something ike this:

Victor Hugo Called For a Priest.

In the midst of the voluminous prose,
and even poetry to which the reglori-
fication of Victor Hugo has given rise,
there is q striking account of his death in
the periodical called the Etudes. directed
by the Jesuits. This sets forth that at
the awful moment of his passing, the
adversary of the papacy. the turncoat
who was royalist republican Catholic
and free-thinker. as it suited him, called
despairingly for priest. The story was
told by an actor, now dead, and whose
daughter lives at present in Paris. This
actor was allowed by Victor Hugos valet
to see the poet in less than an hour after
his death The player was overwhelmed
by the appearance of unutterable an
guish, horror and despair on the face of
the dead man, and expressed his aston
ishment and terror TO the valet. The lat
ter said: "Ah. Monsieuri as he was
passing away, Victor Hugo raised him
self from his bed by a desperate bound.
his fingers crisped and crooked, and he
twice cried out, a priest, a priest. but
no priest came" The actor went away
horTor-stricken, and on reaching home
said to his daughter: II should not like
to die like that; if L fall i'll, you must
he added, Il shall tell nobody of what I
saw and heard. but all the same it is
awful
Victor Hugo was not the only anti
clerical republican who called out for
priest when dying. Others were in the
same predicament before him, and went
to their account with all their imperfec-
tions on their heads, like Hamlet's father.
Cardinal Guibert offered his services
when Victor Hugo was dying, but the
poets family declined them. In the same
way NJ Floquet's friends and hangers
on rejected the offer of Cardinal Richard
TO attend the dying politician in his last
Again, in the case of President

of the Madeline were dispensed with, and
soon after he left the presidential pail

politicians of the third republic who have

lies. Even Victor Hugo was in his youth
