a year ago John Crook of Springfield III, was taken i'll with typhoid fever and during convalescence caught cold which went to his lungs and consump- tion resulted.
 He went South in search of health and while there found not it, but girl with whom he formerly had been in love. He found that he stin was in love with her and she with him. Unknown to the par ents of the boy the two were married.
 The young mans father. when he learn ed of his sons marriage, was angered He believed that the young woman had not acted right towards the family in marrying the son while he was i'll ana near to death. There were several angry messages between the young wife and the father, but finally they became re- conciled. The bride Is now in Springfield with her husband, who is critically Ill in st. Johns Hospital. A special ar ronrement made by the hospital authorl- lies allows her to remain at hls side She is constantly in attendance on him, but It ia said that there is but small chance of her not being widowed almost as soon oa she was married.

 Robert Thomas of Atlanta. Ga, one or the most expert paper mill men in the United States was visitor 10 Houston yesterday. and conferred with several parties here in reference to ouiloins a mill in this city. Mir. Thomas has heen in the paper mill business for thirty years and is thoroughly familiar with every feature of that industry. It was ne wno erected the mill at Orange, which manu- factures paper iron pine timber shay inRs, and was the first one who demon strated that paper could be made sue cessfully from that kind of stock. The Orange mill has been in operation almost A month and 1t has been developed be- vond the peradventure of a doubt that the manufacture of paper from pine shay ings can be conducted on paying basls
 "The quality of paper made at Orange, said MT Thomas to a Post reporter, will compare favorably with that manufac- tured from spruce and other woods in the North and East, and the cost Is con siderably smaller In favor ot the SoutnS ern product For instance, a cord or wood after 1t had been prepared Tor the mill in the same shape as shaFings VII, cost about $l6 which amount Of wood will produce a ton of paper. IL costs at Orange 8 for fifteen tons or shaVihgs, which will make seven ana ohe-hdi toIis of paper. , =
 Texas can and will produce enough pa per to supply the whole United States The supply is short and there can be no possible danger of glutting the market The forests of spruce. white pine and hemlock piT I are becoming depleted and the time will shortly come when the paper manufacturers will have to look for oth- CT stock They will, Of necessity come to Texas and here will be built up the greatest paper making industries in the world.
 'sHouston offers a fine field for a paper mill" continued MT, Thomas. Pine shavings could be secured here without any trouble and other stock could be purchased without difficulty. The rail- road facilities are splendid. indeed, and

 Even more interesting. however. view ed as decorative plant for halls rooms. and staircases on the occasion of some ing, Is the Eugenia Australis, an almost hardy member of that wonderous family of Myrtaceae, which ranges from the myrtle of the south of France and the of the tropics, 60 feet high. This charming plant is used largely in Paris. It is grown in Pinch pots, in good mixture of loam. peat and sand, Each plant is pruned into an elongated pyramid some four or five feet in height The foliage is a rich, glossy green. the leaves being longer and stouter than those or the broad leaved myrtle; and the effect of these dark green pyramids when closely covered in September with masses of white myrtle-like flowers, is most at tractive. These flowers are succeeded by berries. double the size of a large holly berry. which shade down from a vivid carmne to almost white where they join the stems. giving singularly brilliant anu uHusudi aPP'ei' "liS " 'Ip cNoI green plants. As far as | know, the plant is rarely seen in England, certainly not in the abundant masses in which 1t Is cultivated In Paris; And l think 1t must be conceded that except in the matter of palms, ferns and variegated foliage. we have much to learn from France in the use of "plantes vertes." otherwise 'greenery." in the interior decoration in the winter months. l was rejoiced to see that the old-fashioned and now neglect edcamellia was still given a prominent place in the Serres de la Vile de Paris, a whole large house being devoted to this neautItui eVergreea btsct W1S tS IS , t tnat sneh ions of the day. when in themselves they are so beautiful in color. form. sub stance. and power of lasting?

other considera tions are most favorable. The people with whom have talked since have been here are most favorably im- pressed with the idea, and no doubt a mill will be established in this city. Hous. ton appears to be to be particularly well adapted for manufacturing enterprises of every kind, and people should have no fear of investing their money.
