How to Secure Seats for
''Ben Hur."

-Klaw & Erlanger's stupendous and
magnificent production of General Lew
wallace's great play, "Ben Hur," is to
be staged in Houston the entire week
of December Goth. This is the most
important offering in the history of
Texas amusements, and it is more than
probable that hundreds will journey
from this city to Houston to witness it.
No time should be lost by those who
intend going to Houston to file their
orders for seats through the mail. The
advance sale opens on Thursday morn
ing, December 26th, and Mr.. M. Q.
Muhall, manager of the Houston Thea
tire, guarantees to promptly fill all
mail orders for seats in the order of
their receipt, If accompanied by re-
mittance and self addressed stamped
envelope for return, so that no error
can be made. The scale of prices will
be as follows: Entire lower floor and
first two rows of balcony, 81; next five
rows balcony, s1.50; balance of bal
cony, 81; general admission to gallery,
so cents.
All railroads running into Houston
will have special excursion rates on
for this attraction, therefore, it will be
advisable for those intending to wit
ness "Ben Hur" to inquire Of their To-
cal railroad agent for train and rate

A Fable-MOraI and All.

Not long ago, the engine, running a
great factory employing hundreds Of
hands, got out of fix. Every effort of
the engineer to make his engine go
proved fruitless. Meantime every
hand was idle.
Finally an expert machinist was call
ed in. He looked over the situation
for a minute, picked up a hammer,
and struck a certain part of the ma
chinery three hard raps, laid the ham,
mer down and said, "Now she'll go;"
and she did.
When his bill was presented it read,
"For repairing engine, due 25c; for
knowing now, due SIS 75."
The above may sound like an "ad'
of the Tyler, Texas, College, but it
actually occurred. The moral is, it
takes very little while to do things
when you know how; and he who
knows how holds the magic key to the
storehouse of the world.
II this moral should cause you to at
tend Tyler Commercial College and
learn how to do work paying $500 to
$1,000 year, it might be life's turning
point to you, and the best thing to do
after all.

Two Good Sermons.

At Centenary Methodist church yes
terday the Rev. DIR. Ditzler preached
two powerful sermons. AT the morn
ing service the church was well filed.
The doctor uses very vigorous Ian
guage in presenting bible truths, and
his delivery is forceful. He is man
of great learning, and he speaks with
strong conviction.
He breaches at this church again to-
night at 1880, and those who hear him
will be fortunate, as they will enjoy a
treat, and may receive great benefit
from the sermon.

Suddenly should fall through spac
In a kissing headlong light,
Shriveling from its face,
As it falls into the sun,
In an instant every trace

All social Washington is watching to
see how things will go between Mrs.

former is first lady by virtue Of her

vaulting social ambitions. She has had
a very good start up the social ladder,
won by dint of hard labor during her
husband s two terms in the senate and
aided greatly by her office as president

No More Public Receptions.

many people will be disappointed, but

were torn and hundreds of people were

The so-called card receptions are to

intimated that they may be abandoned
next. These affairs have come to be
almost as bad as the public reception,
owing to the fact that two or three
thousand cards were issued to each re-
ception. It is promised that this winter
the number is to be held down

CoSsACKs OF RUSSIAN ORIGIN

Best Described as a War Caste Living
in Semi-Tribal Organization.
The Cossacks may perhaps be best
described as a war caste living in
semi-tribal organization. They are,
however, in no sense a tribe or tribes,
but are mainly Of Russian origin, with
an intermixture Of Monsolian, Tartar
and Circassian blood by marriage or
adoption. The once famous Little Rus
sian or Zaporogian Cossacks of the
Ukraine are now represented largely
In the Kuban army, with which their
remnant was incorporated late in the
eighteenth century. In all other armies
Great Russian blood predominates.
Among the non-Russian elements are

Tunguses, Tartars, Bashkirs and Kirg-
hiz. The pagan element is II per cent

since changed radically, and the Dons
differ little in their mode of life from
other Russian peasants. The Cos
sacks, however, do not enjoy a repu-
tation for industry, and many Of them,
notably the Dons, have shared in the
general impoverishment of the rural
population. This has diminished their
military efficiency, as they are re-
quired to supply themselves with
horses. uniforms and entire equipment
and armament excepting firearms.
The most serious feature is in the
neglect Of horse-raising. The Uralese
form an exception. Their fisheries are
the source OF substantial prosperity,
and they not only raise enough horses
for themselves, but supply the regular
cavalry and artillery with some of
their best animals. The governments

adequate number of serviceable

Russia, however, admit that none of
the armies except the Uralese meets

mount their quota of the 10000 Cos

An interesting little treasure hunt is
causing some excitement in a Stafford.

The treasure hunters are not rushing
round with surveyors chains and pick
axes, but they search very patiently
and very pSrslStenGy In old boots and
stockings. pieces Of newspapers, behind

black bottles. They are searching for
the accumulated wealth Of one Joseph
Atwood. who, with his brother, kept
the Vine inn at DELPHI. Brierley Hill.
Joseph died not long ago, and his
brother being unable to transact the
business 1t was transferred.
The broShers Atwood had curious
ideas as to the conduct Of their busi-
ness and the employment Of capital
ideas which would commend them
selves to no self-respecting economist.
When the elder brother died there was
a hunt for the money which it was
known he had saved. In one of the
rooms, which had not been opened for
fifteen years. $500 in gold was found,
slowed away In corners Of the room.
Hundreds Of silver coins were found
corked up In gin bottles and beer jars.
Half hundredweight of coppers
was found hidden in hooks and cram
MES, old gloves, stockings, paper bags
and envelopes and rolled up in tea
lead. Checks which had never been
presented; woman's watch and
very old hunting watch were also dis
covered.
