Those who are expecting great re-
union in Dallas, Tex, in April will
not be disappointed.
Dallas is a city of only about So
900, but it is the biggest city of its
size we have ever seen.
The same courage and energy she
displayed in inviting twice her number
to become her guests is evinced in
the arrangements sue is making in
providing for and entertaining these
guests.
The citizens are contributing gener-
ously to the necessary fund, and the
whole State is taking sn interest in
this reunion, realizing it will proba-
bly, be the last opportunity the great
State of Texas will have to entertain
these "boys in gray" as this is the
second time she has secured this hon
or. Dallas has about five very good
notes.-the Oriental and the Windsor
the largest.
Most of the private homes will be
thrown open to visitors.
The reunion will be held in the Ex-
position Hall in the fair grounds. 1t
is commodIous and well adapted for
this purpose These fair grounds, To-
Gated in the suburbs of the city, with
three street car lines running to them.
are the handsomest fair grounds in the
United States. They are most beau
tifully laid out and set in tropical
plants and trees with every comfort
and convenience, and pavilion: to
shelter over 100000 people if neces-
sary.
The track is said to be the best in
the South. On the beautiful plat of
grass within this inclosure tents, with
cots for the accommodation Of 10000
Confederates, will be provided free Of
charge. Meals will also be served on
the fair grounds every day free Of
charge.
A very special feast is in store for
the Veterans. Mr.. Charlie Goodnight,
the pioneer cattleman of Texas, is fat
tening FIVE head of buffalo to be bar
becued for the Veterans. One bufs-
10 is gift from Mr.. Goodnight and
one from his wife. The other three
are purchased by the reunion commit
tee. They will be brought alive into
the fair grounds that all may see them
and then slaughtered for the barbscure.
The hides aud heads will be suctioned
off.
Buffalo are very scarce, and this
will probably be the last opportunity
many will have to taste Of their meat.
There are only about three herds in
the world. The best eatables will be
abundantly provided, and no one will
be allowed to 20 hungry.

Don't Wait for the Funeral.

"If folks could have their funerals
when they are alive and well, and
struggling along, what a help it would
be-" sighed Aunt Jerusha, folding her
paisley shawl with great care.
"Now, there is poor Mis- Brown,
she added, as she pinned her Sunday
bonnet into the green veil. "How

could have heard what the minister
said today, l wouldn't woudeT one

"And the minister a-telling how the
deacon brought his wife here when it

how patiently she bore hardship, and
what a good wife she'd been Now
the minister wouldn't have known
anything about that if the deacon
hadn't told him. Dear, dear! If he'd
only told Ms Brown herself what he
thought I do believe he might have
saved the funeral.
"Aud when ths minister said how
the children would miss their mother,

true enough. Mis- Brown was always

His Own Grandfather.

It is q curious fact that large
number Of persons do much hard and
fruitIess thinking as to their relation
ships to other people. Puzzles in
relationship have SO bothered some
people that they have gone almost
mad trying to solve them, and one
man committed suicide. This man,
at the age Of sixty, accidentally
ascertained that he was his own grand
father. His worry over the discovery
drove him to suicide.
The average reader will probably
doubt this, but as the man left the
following autobiography for the coroner
it must be assumed that it is true:
Il married a widow who had a
grown-up daughter. My father visited
us often, fell il love with my step
daughter and married her. Thus, my
father became my son-in-law, and my
stepdaughter, being my fathers wife,
became my stepmother. Soon after
this distressing complication arose my
wife gave birth to son. This son
was my fathers brother-in-law and
my own uncle, since he was a brother
of my stepmother.
"My fathers wife also became the
mother of boy. He was, Of course, my
brother and also my grandchild, for
he was the son ofmy daughter. Also,
my wife was a grandmother, since she
was my mother's mother. l was my
wife's husband and grandchild at once,
At the same time, as the husband OF a
persons grandfather, am my own
grandfather"
Another man recently met friend,
and, in the course of conversation, re-
marked that his wife's mother was
his daughter-in-law. He was, Of
course, mistaken, for she lis his mother
in-law. Perhaps he was happier in
not knowing that.
A father and son involved them
selves by marriage in very tangled
relationship. The son chose an elder
ly woman, and the father married her
daughter. A child was born to each
couple within a year. The difficult
question at once arose What re-
lation was one child to the other ?"
Miss Mile Beck0n bough, of Min
nesota, was married to her uncles
brothers niece's brother-in-law. And
as is commonly remarked, at would
take a Philadelphia lawyer to make
it out, and perhaps even he couldn't.
James Milton, of Missouri, was late
ly married to his sisters daughters S
brother-in-law's fathers brother.
Apparently it would take considerable
time to unravel relationship in that
case.

v. c. v. Reunion.

The Confederate reunion to be held
at Dallas, Texas, on the 22d of April,
1902, will be a notable event in the
history of a great State. The wide
domain of the Commonwealth Of Tex
as, the large number of veterans now
living within its limits, comprising
nearly one-third of all the camps Of
the United Confederate Veterans,
ought to render this reunion one of
the most pleasing and delightful in
the history of the great association
which will hold its annual meeting at
Dallas.
Texas will receive her Confederate
brethren with hospitality that will
be as generous as it is unboundsd.
The enterprising and growing city OF
Dallas, with its companion, Fort
Worth, will do all that is necessary to
make the stay of the grizzled veterans
delightful. All the people of Texas
are interested in having this reunion
such as BELTS so great State, and all
that thoughtfulnsss, hospitality and
attention and kindness can do will be
done for the men who wore the gray
and who hold their second reunion
across the Mississippi. Splendid prep
arations have been made and Dallas,
with unbounded hberality, is ready to
do the honors of the occasion, and
when the roll of the men in gray is
called it will be found that this State
has met the demands Of the occasion
with such entertainment as is worthy
the guests she has invited within her
gates.
