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.
1t 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.
Two travelling men and our
very active local agents are con-
tinuously adding new subs
scribers to the lists.
In consideration of these facts
the "FREIE PREssE FUER TEXAS
claims to be the best adver-
tisingmedium in the State of
Texas, where it is the object to
reach the German reading po-
pulation.

thousand men couldn't find the boys
now. They know hiding places your
soldiers never dreamed Of"
The officer in command looked at
him curiously.
There is something behind this"
he said thoughtfully. You are old
enough to understand the conse-
quences of such an act, and too wise
to throw away your life for a little
meat and few loaves of bread"
The boys eyes began to flash and
for the first time his face lost its
grinning derision.
Il have risked my life for a little
meat and few loaves of bread" he
declared quickly, "and do understand
just what the consequences are. But
what is life when my mother is sick
and starving, and when my sisters and
grandfather and grandmother are all
starving. l would risk it, and lose it,
too, hundred times. The boys have
food enough now to last them a
month";" his voice ringing with exulta-

Chairman Donnelly, chatting the
other evening with some fellow politi-
clans about the autumn campaign, OBJ
served:
well, Alec Mcclure has topped
again, I see. Whenever a question
like the present arises in local or
state politics, the Colonel's attitude is
so uncertain for a time that l can
never help thinking of a Yankee farm
hand, who after trying manfully for
some years to get along with a gay
wife whom he had welded without
much consideration when on a
pleasure trip to Boston, applied for
a divorce, and, after the hearing, was
given reasonable assurance that his
plea would be granted. Before the
formal decree was granted. he fell in
with a stranger at the village tavern,
and was asked:
Married man.
"'Wa-all,' he drawled, as though
not quite sure of his ground, I'm
sorter married an sorter not, but a
little more sorter not. 1 think than
sorter.' ''-Philadelphia Ledger.

WHISKY GIVES BACK VOICE.
Was Teetotaller, but Drank ItThrough
Fear of SMALLPOX

'" GO . CChObdiiCIt Jul 6FdUH " uTOuSn
Fear of Smallpox.
During all the seventy-eight years
of his life John Auge ofLehighton, Pa.
had never drank so much as a pint of
whisky up to last month. Five years
ago Mr.. Auge lost his voice and since
that time has not been able to speak
above a whisper. Last month small
rox appeared in the neighborhood. He
was much afraid of contracting the
disease, SO he asked a physician what
he could do to ward off the contagion.
Drink whisky" was the doctors
order. Mr.. Auge demurred. He had
a wholesome horror of the stuff. But
his fear of smallpox was overpower-
ing, so he took the whisky in liberal
doses. He didn't get drunk, but took
enough to make him fearless of small
pox or anything else. And he didn't
take the smallpox; notwithstanding it
came within two or three doors of
him. But, more wonderful to relate,
as soon as he began to drink whisky
his voice began to return to him, and
now he can talk and sing as well as
he ever could, which, Mr.. Auge now
thinks, goes to show that even whisky
can do good. But it would probably
be better for persons to wait until
they have lost their voices and are in
a funk of fear of smallpox before re-
sorting to it.

cRADrs FEAST OF PossuM.
Rival Ruined His Chance for the Col.
ored Vote by Mean Trick.

OTco vote Dy mean Irick.
During heated campaign in Geor-
gia some years ago the Ute Henry F.
Grady was opposed by an editorial
associate, Captain Evan Howell. They
were warm personal friends, but on
the issue at stake were diametrical-
ly opposed to each other. Recalling
that campaign, Representative Living.
ston tells funny story.
The result of the election depended
largely upon a certain ward in which
there was a very large negro popula-
ton Grady bethought himself of a
scheme to capture these colored vot-
ers, and, securing a vast number of
which they could eat 1t was a mas
ter stroke and Howell knew nothing
of 1t until the night the supper &C.
CURED. Then he was at his wits end
until an inspiration came to him. He
sent for some of his negro supporters,
gave them instructions and waited for
the result.
An hour later while the colored
BARRIERS were having a great feasting
time one of Howel's supporters cried
Meow" Another man repeated the
cry. A third man was apparently
taken sick and the fourth man ex-
claimed: Deed boys. 1 think we are
eating cats!" That broke up the sup
per and Grady never did quite con-
vince the possum eaters that they had
been imposed upon.

ton. You may kill me If you want
to. But you haven't soldiers enough
to get the food back. And it wasn't
stolen, either. You have destroyed
our crops and taken our cattle and
fruits, and they would pay for this a
thousand times over"
He threw his head back and looked
squarely into their eyes.
There is another thing don't mind
telling you," he went on sturdily; my
fathers away fighting, and would be
away fighting too, If were old
enough. AS it is, we boys look after
the family" Here the grinning deri-
sion returned to his face. THE horde
about were just my three brothers and
two of my cousins, the oldest only
thirteen. They'll look after the fam
lily now, and when this food is gone,
they'll find some way to get more.
Now kill me if you want to. I'm not
afraid"
A curious expression had been COM
ing into their eyes. Above all things
soldier respects bravery.
Come, gentlemen" said the officer
in command gruf1y, I'VE must settle
this at once. Camp will be broken
early, and there will be no time then.
The case is fragrant one, and calls
for severe punishment. But I will
leave the sentence to you, De Guise,"
to the officer whose sword had been
taken; "as the most aggrieved of us;
the first vote belongs to you. What
punishment is adequate to the Of
fense?"
The officer scowled. 81 would con-
denim him to perpetual Punishment
from u.s." he answered harshly.
And you, Bourmont," to the officer
who had confessed he was hungry.
de Guise is too mild, too mild
this officer said, scowling also. 81
would add that in addition to his SEN
tence the condemned be made to carry
away a sack of flour as large as him
