quite forgotten about luncheon. Her
mother was out paying some calls, and
1t was the servants afternoon of.
The young woman put finger to her
lip, wondering what little dainty she'd
Tx up for her luncheon. Suddenly.

woltish light appeared in her ewes.
She stood up straight and tapped her

the evening at home, reading my novel
and playing papa's favorite pieces.
This is my chance-and how do love

She went down the basement stairs
almost guiltily. Her manner was that
of young woman about to do some
thing sneaky, underhand. At the bot
tom of the stairs she hesitated.

no possibility of any one coming to

She went to the kitchen cupboard

strange environment, would not per-

For many nights as he lay awake
he planned relief. He thought of
strangling the ducks or chloroforming
them. But neither expedient seemed
good. One night bright idea came
to him. After he had put it into exc
cution the ducks were silent.
The next night he had two coops of
unusually vociferous ducks. AS soon
as it came time for sleep he wrenched
a slat from one of the cOOps. reached
in and pulled out duck From his
pocket he took a small rubber band,
which he slipped over the ducks bill
just back of the nostrils. The duck
tried to quack, but the rubber band,
while it stretched little, would not
permit the duck to open its bill far
enough to use its tongue Only a muir
mur came from it. One by one the
ducks were muzZled, and the baggage
man rested comfortably.
The commission men were surprised
next morning when they received a lot
Of ducks with rubber bands around
their bills, and when the bands were
removed the shouts of protest from
the ducks were deafening.

THE HAAS BROTHERS
Three Of Them Have Fallen in Love
with Jane Segur.
rVVO Of the ROmances Were Stained
with BIOOd-The Third May End
Happily for Both Bride
and Groom,

Jane Segur, or Haas, the latter be-
ng the name she has borne for many
years, has had two romances, both
stained with blood, and her third may
be bloodless-if the prospective bride
and groom get away in time. Jane
Segur is to marry the third of the
Haas brothers. She had previously
married the other two, but death in
tervened and she became twice wild
DIV. The third Haas seems to have no
fear, but all the good shots in Monte
yuma county are not dead yet and
there is no telling what may happen.
Twice married and widowed, Mrs.
Haas is soon to become bride for the
.hird time, and is willing TO run all
risks.
Thirty years ago William Haas was
a prosperous young merchant at
Mount Gilead, o., but the balm in that
Iilead was not sufficient to satisfy
the yearnings of his soul for greater
wealth, so he removed his goods and
other belongings TO COrtez, Neb., and
set up trading house.
The belle of Cortez when Haas first
made his appearance was Jane Segur,
and she was as pretty as a maiden
dared be.
Two brothers by the name of Siegel
were particularly attentive to Jane,
and they gave it out that the man who
married Jane had better make his viii
before the marriage ceremony was
performed. Now il happened that
little Jane had fallen in love with VIII
liam Haas, and accepted his offer of
heart and hand. When the Siegels
heard of it they became more than
ordinarily strenuous. They talked to
Haas in an unseemly manner until his
Ohio blood becoming hot he was

SHOP TALK.

A cruller or doughnut spoon and
strainer combined is seen in porce-
lain. The bowl of the spoon is broad
and lifts the cruller from the hot fat,
straining the surplus grease at the
same time.
Women have once again taken to
the notion of color in their handker-
chiefs - narrow-colored borders in
green, lavender, pink and blue being
shown. Some handkerchiefs have
printed or colored embroidered de-
signs all over them.
One of the crystal ball clocks which
have become so familiar has a mill
tary setting. Three black cannon
raised tripod fashion support one Of
these clocks and here and there upon
the marble standard are plies of can
non balls finished in gold.
Baroque pearls continue in favor
and are used in various ways, among
which are fiOweT-shaped heads for
hats and sticlzpins. These appear in
all kinds of flower designs, the irreg-
ular form of the pearls being made
an advantage in fashioning the
petals. These pearls are also set in
antique gold for hatpins.
There are any number of the beau
tiful chatelaine bag designs-the one
that is carried on the wrist with the
chain given d safeguard turn on the
fingers being just now the favorite.

WEDNESDAY. sEPTEMBER24 1902


The 4Iatamoro- Sol De Mayo Of
last Sunday publishes an article
signed Varios Texanos, which
charges the district court. grand
jury and others OF Cameron county
with various acts Of injustice. The
article is not only characterized by
contempt Of the court but it also
distorts the facts concerning two
tragedies Of recent occurrence in
Cameron county. Under the cover
Of q mona de plume, in a foreign pa
per, these alleged Texans make a
cowardly attack upon our officers
and other citizens which they dare
not make in this country. A. for
the Sol de Mayo, it has apparently
little sense or discretion to publish
an article calculated to stir up strife
am prejudice, written by par
ties who Judge before the cases in
volved have been brought to trial,
basing their judgment upon the
word of BIASED witnesses. The
trouble that has disturbed this
section OF late was caused largely
bv talk Of similar nature on the
part Of low politicians in this place
who have sought to hurt their poll
teal opponents by stirring up race
prejudice. and the blood Of an in
nocent man now lies al the doors
of these breeders OF sedition.
As to the Sol de Mayo, It is not
long since that sheet was suspended
by operation Of law for libellous
publications, bat it does not seem
to have learned any discretion by
its experience. fit does not take
care, it may be again called TO &C
count, rs the article referred to is
clearly libellous. The authorities of
Matamoros should see to it that the
papers Of that city are not allowed
to publish such articles, and the
Sol de Mayo should be required to
publish the names OF the Teams
who are using that sheet to stir up
trouble between people who must
live together as neighbors. There
has been too much of this sort of
thing. It should be stopped, and
the breeders Of the trouble should
be made known and held up to the
public contempt which they merit

balloon ascensons are good for tie

is quite as beneficial as a change Of

that a balloon would cost equally

The annual commencement concert
took place on Wednesday evening at the

in town the attendance was small But
what lacked in number was made up in
spirit. Nearly every number on the pro-
gram was encored. The following is the

Miss Hussey was by far the favorite of
the evening. 1t was rare treat to listen
to such rich, sweet contralto voice as
this young lady possesses. Added to
this, her charming personality and fine
stage presence strongly treasures her
temperance at another time. In her
rendition Of an Irish love song as an
encore to her first selection she was
especially fine. The Bostonia Sextette
Club proved themselves to be masters of
their respective Instruments. In their
solos and club pieces they received
bounteous applause. On the whole the
concert was very fine. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that larger number did make
the most of such an opportunity.
The exercises of the week came to
close wednesday evening when the an
nual Senior Hop took place at the Town
Hall at 10 80. About 40 couples took
part and enjoyed themselves until 90
a. m. Thursday morning. Dr.. and Mrs.
