On the occasion Of his morning call
at st. Winifred's, while he waited for
Brenda's appearance, it was to him as
if his nervous system walked the floor

is the state which New England old
ladies describe as jumping out Of your

fore DR.. Kendall took him out Of the
reception room to a more private place
he was an object of sympathetic in
teresr to several poor persons waiting
there, for they supposed that he must
have some near relative at the point of
death in the institution.
His pockets and his hands were full
of newspapers, and they were to a con-
siderable extent accountable for his
condition. The marvellous delineative
power of the modern press had been
exerted upon the mystery Of Elsie Mil
Ter with a result which the young wo-
man herself had but dimly foreseen
when she had spoken Of it as so abso-
lutely horrible as to extinguish the vir-
tue of politeness altogether. The story
was told from fifty points Of view. and

where the mysterious one seemed to
have sunk out Of sight as if into a

THE TEXAS PRESS.

In attendance, interest, pleasure
and tho dispatch of business the
meeting of the Texas Press Assoeia-
ton at Waxahachie was perhaps
unsurpassed by any former gather
ing of that body. The people oil
Waxahachie and the local press
committee contributed no little to
the success of the gathering and
the railways did their share when 1t
came to the excursion which follow

The Texas Press Association, is
made up of and supported largely by
the editors of the country papers
and it's membership is a credit to
the state. The editor OF a local
paper. is as a rule, an upright, pub
lie spirited citizen who gives his
time, talent and energies to the up
building of his own town and coun-
tv. The spirit of commereiaiism IS
less apparent in the country press
than in the metropolitan dailies and
despite assertions to the contrary,
the local papers influence to
marked degree the opinions and ac-
tions of the people.
The local paper rarely INDUCES In
colored supplements or long-drawn-
out editorials, but it discusses topics
and measures of local interest in
way that cannot be undertaken by
the great daily.
To the stranger the local paper
stands as an index to the communl-
ty in which it is printed showing
conclusively the industry, THRIFT,
enterprise and business prosperity
and the general character of the
people.
With the agricultural press, the
local paper joins hands to work for
the Improvement of the farms and
homes, 1t supplies news, local,
general and political, and urges To-
cal application Of the measures ad-
vocated in the high class agricul-
tural publications Like the agri-
cultural paper, the local paper is a
necessary factor in the advance
ment of farm life.
In Texas much has been done by
the country papers toward bringing
about the present era Of prosperity
and of her country editors Texas
may feel justly proud.-Farm and
