Then Harry stepped forward anu stood by the fallen figure Tho others followed. It was the body of 6 man. He was dressed in rough tweeds, and when they turned him over his up- turned face had a quiet, peaceful ex- pression. He might have died an hour ago.
 Instinctively the two men removed their hats. Then Harry looked at MT, Rennie.
 "You know who it is?" he said.
 "Yes, it's Sir Robert" he answered. in low voice.
 They picked the body up and lifted 1t into the shade of the pines. As they did SO folded paper fell from the torn jacket. That evening Harry met Muriel In the hotel garden.
 Your father has told you what 1t was we found?" he said.
 Yes, dear" she answered. And he told me. too, about your suggestion. Harry. you are generous. and, do you know. father appreciates it."
 I'm glad he doesn't think badly of me any longer, darling" said Harry. But. you know, we shall be rich on half the money, shan't we?"
 Muriers answer quite satisfied him. Chicago Tribune.

At home and in school too much
stress cannot be put upon careful
training to implicit obedience.
Neglect or ignore the silly whims
of child and his folly grows.
Stubbornness and obstinacy begin
around the family freside. They
wax strong with years until par
entail authority is cast to the winds
and full reign is given to willful-
ness, then comes trouble for the
teacher; later the state is called
upon to take a hand in bringing
the miscreant under proper re-
straint. Several times in life the
evil effects Of loose home restraint
have come under our immediate
notice We have seen parents
laugh at the threats of an angry
child TO kill them and we have
seen that same boy sent to the
penitentiary. Not many years
ago we had occasion to warn boys
of the dangers before them, but to
no avail. Today the doors of the
state prison yawn for two Of them.
Lack of restraint leads to contempt
for authority and ends in lasting
disgrace. The obedient child at
home seldom gives trouble else

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Donnelly & Hatfield min
strel company, under the direction
Of AL G. Field, appeared for the
fret time before a Paris audience
last evening, and the excellent per
formance given by this company
was appreciated by all present,
the beautiful first part and the spec.
ial scenery that surrounded the diff
ferent acts made pictures that were
grand to behold. The singing was
of the best, special mention being
due Mr.. Norman Stanley and the
quartette. The comedy songs were
well taken care Of by Lee Edmonds,
Arthur Crawford and our old friend
Tommy Donnely. Some very clev-
er jokes were told that were very
much enjoyed. The olio was very
stirring. The Tuscano Brothers,
Roman axe jugglers, are artists OF
rare ability and their work could
hardly be improved upon. The
Toledo troupe, four in number,
cannot be spoken of too highly, a.
their work was the best ever seen
in this city, each member peform-
ing easily what seemed almost inn
possible feats of contortion. Tom
my Donnelly and Harry Skunk,
two comedians well known by our
local theatergoers, these gentlemen
having appeared here several times
With AL G. Field, did an act that
was novel in a way, and kept the
large audience in an uproar all the
time they were on the stage. The
comedy in this act was clean and
of the best. Crawford and Fin
ming are duo of clever musical
artists and their work was highly
in favor and heartily applauded
the "Darktown Circus" was a pleas
ing burlesque aud caused many a
good laugh. This show, although
new in name, will surely be remem-
bered and their next trip to our
city will be looked forward TO with
pleasure. A better show has not
been in Paris for several seasons

Will ORGANIZE BRAzos COUNTY
For the Southern Cotton Association
Letter from r. D. Hudson,
State Secretary.

At the instance OF Mr.. ]. II,
White and other progressive farm
and some Of the business men
of Bryan, the publishers Of The
Eagle wrote TO Mr.. r. ID. Hudson,
state secretary Of the Southern Cot
ton Association, requesting him "a
make date for Mr.. +. d. Smith, OF

to come to Bryan, and organize
Brazos county planters and bust

the letter received from Mr.. Hud-
son, regarding the matter:

had fair sized audiences, while at
many we had court houses full,

formed, con sisting of bankers and
other business men and the best
farmers of the counties. Mr..
Smith is an eloquent, forcible
speaker, and there is no trouble in
getting the cooperation Of the citi-
zens Of Texas in this all-important
movement, when the aims and OBJ
iects sought to be attained by it
are half way explained TO the peo-
pie. This work should have been
done last February, when the farm.
ers Of Texas were holding thou
sands of bales of their cotton
L. d. Smith and delegates from
all of the southern states east OF
the Mississippi river, went home
| from the New Orleans convention
and went to work, as should have
been done in Texas; but it is not
too late; for the necessity for this
organization will last as long as we
grow cotton, and | am truly glad
TO know that we will have your
hearty cooperation in the matter
Of organizing your county.
Respectfully,

The following practical test of
the value Of advertising as told by
the Sterling Banner, is worthy of
the careful consideration of any
business man: A merchant VINO
had two stores in small towns
tried an experiment. He put a
bargain counter in each store, the
same articles at the same prices.
In the newspaper Of one village he
advertised his special sale counter.
In the other he did not. In one
month in the village where he did
not advertise he sold 1884 worth
of goods. In the store where he
did advertise he sold the same
month goods amounting to ~, 725.
In commenting on the results Of
the experiment the merchant says
"The people who got the paper
with the advertisements would
pass by one of the stores and drive
for miles to the other one for what
they could have gotten at the same
price in my store at their door,
but they did not know it was
there"

Real estate speculation is one Of
the greatest of all bars to progress,
and no country can reach its high
est development when suffering
from its evil effects The average
investor in real estate has no
thought of permanent possession
and the highest development OF
his holdings, but is looking for
profit by transfer. In this way
the fullest possibilities Of piece
Of property are never realized SO
long as it is kept out Of the hands
of the man who utilities it for his
own home or place Of business. 49,

BATH IN CRUDE PETROLEUM
Method Employed by Texas Cattle
men of Kidding Their Herds
of Ticks.

Down in Texas they have curious
way of treating cattle for the tick
an insectparasite which attaches Itself
to the hide of the animals and produces
irritation and fever.
The disease is contagious, and, as II
prevails in Texas more generally thar
elsewhere, cattle from that state are
usually Quarantined before they are al
lowed to cross the border going north
A method of disinfection has beer
devised, however, which Is said to bt
sure, and it is q curious one.
The animals are driven from the cor
rails one after the other up a narrow
incline. When they reach the top the
pressure from behind crowds them
over the ridge of slippery chute. anc
they go down a tohoggan slide.
At the bottom of the chute is a val
of crude petroleum 10 or 20 feet square
and three or four feet deep. The ami.
NAL is as likely to land on his head as
his launches, and that Is the intention
Before he can climb out of the vat his
hide gets thorough soaking. and the
result is a holocaust Of ticks.
1t only takes three or four minutes
immersion to do the job, and in we'll
arranged dipping vat" as the place
is called, about 200 steers can be treat.
ed per hour. Under the rules of the
agricultural department steers that
have been dipped In crude petroleum
are exempt from quarantine.

LOTS OF ANIMALS FAINT.
Cats in Particular Are Subject to
Attacks When They Be-
come Excited.

When the little white kitten tumbled
down on the rug with a piteous
"meaouw" the woman. who always
knows what to do, picked her up and
called for the camphor bottle, relates
the New York Port.
"She has tainted, poor little thing"
said the woman. "Camphor will bring
her to-"
All the other boarders laughed. but
the woman continued to administer
the aromatic spirits in her own moth
erly fashion. When the white kitten
had revived the woman sought cor
roboration of her diagnosis from the
veterinary surgeon next door.
"Of course, the cat tainted" he said.
Lots Of animals faint. Cats are es-
pecially apt to keel over in moments
of excitement. These attacks are
sometimes confused with fits, but they
are really fainting spells, and the
patient can be brought to with cam
phor. Dogs faint, too, and horses. A
horse that faints is usually thought to
have blind staggers or sunstroke, but
anybody knowing the animals con-
stitution can tell the difference and ap-
ply the special treatment required"

CITY TUNNEL UPSIDE DOWN
A Town in Montana Shows Wonders
in Mining on Large
Scale.

The sightseer has pleasant expert
enee at Helena, Mont, but to get a
glimpse of the internal wonders OF
mining he must go to Butte. says
Worlds Work. Perhaps nowhere else
can he have such an experience. In
a sense the world Is upside down. To
begin with, the city takes its water
from the eastern side of the continen-
tai divide and thus diVerts 1t from the
Atlantic to the Pacific slope. Then q
large part Of its population is always
underground, and its underground al
leys and streets ESQ to call them) are
longer than those overground. All lts
wealth comes from these depths. Moth
ing green can grow there. In general
nature is turned topsy-turvy.
But 1t is rich-very rich-interest-
ingly rich. The pay rolls Of the mines
and smelters are 100000 a month, or
about $50 for every man, woman and
child.
Within radius Of mile from the
court house there are 125 mines In
operation and they are producing more
than one-fourth Of the copper mined
in the world. From beneath the sur
face of this 1000 acres has already
been taken 1,75O,OOO tons Of copper bull
lion-enough to make an ordinary troll
ley wire, they tell you, 100000 miles
long. II ali the shafts, drifts and cross
cuts In the hill around Butte and I'M
der 1t could be put together into one
straight tunnel, it would reach-so
they assure you-from Butte to the Pa
ciic ocean. This wonderful place OF
mines-nobody who has ever seen 1t
can forget it's on the path that not
many years ago Sitting Bull ranged
with his braves.

HE WAS AN APT coNJURER
But He Was Frightened When Ger
tain Trick Was Asked For by
Sultan of Morocco.

The troubles of France over the Mo
roccan question recall the difficulty
into which a French conjurer got al
Fec In the time of the late sultan. He
was wandering about the country,
meeting with great success among the
Moors, when the sultan heard OF his
skill and Immediately sent for him tc
Fee. He was commanded to perform
before the court and the trick which
met with most success was that OF the
two pigeons.
The conjurer produced a couple OF
pigeons, one white and the other black.
and cutting off their heads, placed the
head of the white pigeon on the neck
of the black one and liberated the two
birds. who few about the sultan. who
was much taken with this trick and al
once sent for two magnificent slaves
one white and the other black, and
ordered the unhappy man to perform
the trick on them.
The conjurer knew that to refuse
would mean his own death. but he was
equal to the occasion. He declared
that he could do the trick easily, but
that the magic weapons he had With
him were not strong enough for two
such big men. He therefore asked
leave to go and fetch the necessary
tools, promising to return and perform
the trick In a few days time.
AS soon as he got to the coast he set
sail for France and took particular care
never to go near Morocco again.
