How They Worked.

When homeopathy was in its
infancy my father, who was a sea
captain, became a strong devotee
and lost no opportunity to sound
its praises. He owned a medicine
chest and a big book of directions,
which he zealously studied, and
became so thoroughly imbued with
the doctrine that it became a stand
ing joke among his friends and
family. Uncle Aleck Coffin was
his mate, and quite a droll old
seadog in his way. He was an
unbeliever in the new practice, and
lost no time to crack a joke at its
expense, says the Boston Herald.
One evening Uncle Aleck called
at the house when he had a severe
cold and was feeling i'll generally.
Here was fathers opportunity.
He got out his book, looked Uncle
Aleck over seriously, put some
pellets in a paper and told Uncle
to be sure to take them as he told
him to.
The next day Uncle Aleck called
at the house, and loI his cold was
gone and he was himself again.
Father felt triumphant.
Well, Alexander" he said, II
guess you will believe now there
is some virtue in my little pellets.
Of course you took them?"
Yes, said Uncle Aleck, they
must be great stuff. When I got
home they'd spilled out, but
chewed the paper and came out
all right"

A Farmer on Advertising.

I've been soaked a good many
times since 1 started in business
for myself, and l note that it has
always been in the article that
wasn't advertised. l started into
the getting soaked business by
buying a lightning rod per foot
and settling for it per inch.
That soaking was followed by
the purchase of a patent gate that
wasn't advertised. 1t was sold to
me on such close margin, the agent
said, that the firm couldn't afford
to advertise it.
I've bought everything from
hedge fences to encyclopedias that
wasn't advertised and if there IS
a piece of unadvertised furniture
on this place that is any account,
I've not fallen over it. l have got
so that when an agent calls on me
with something l don't under
stand l ask him where it is adj
vertised. If he can't show me
anything but a pocketfuI of hand
bills l cali the dogs.
1 don't believe that an adver-
tisement will make good article
out of bad one, but l am all fred
certain that it is not going TO spoil
a sure thing. If a fellow can't
notify me in advance through
some paper that he has winner
he can't do business with me-

THE San Antonio Gazette Is re-
sponsible for the statement that
Cecil Lyon, the republican boss of
Texas says men holding federal
Offices must get votes or lose their
jobs Continuing, Mr.. Lyon is
credited with saying; Another
thing am tired of and that is men
coming in an asking for Office
where they have not worked for
the party | want to serve notice
on the committee and l want them
to serve notice on the Office holders
of their county, that 1. as national
committeeman, will not recommend
a single man now in Office for re-
appointment where the vote in his
county shows a decrease That is
warning enough. It's simply warn
ing to him and his friends to get
out and hustle.

Origin of The Name Texas.

Edward w. Heusinger of San
Antonio, has just added to his
collection of old rare books a
geography which was published in
1747. The maps in this book are
remarkably well executed, and are
interesting in that they show the
parts of the world as they were
known at that time. On one of
the maps the northwestern part of
America is shown as also only
parts undiscovered. Australia was
only party discovered, and it is
shown as the land Of New Hol-
land, with New Guinea aud Van
Dieman's Land, now called the
island of Tasmania, as one sup
posed continent. New Zealand,
too, is shown as a partly discover
ed, new land. The Hawaiian is
lands had not been heard of. The
Atlantic ocean was at that time
called the Western ocean. What
is now the Pacific ocean was call
ed the Great South sea, and the
Caribbean sea was then known
as the North sea. Another I'M
portant map i'll those days was
that of Mexico known as New
Spain, and what is now Texas
was then the Province OF Louisi-
ana. The French settlement of
Natchikoches is shown, and the
countries Of the Natchez and
Apache Indians are indicated, and
il is interesting to note the source
of the Rio Grande, then called
Rio del Norte, which according to
this wonderful map rises among
some mountains in a land about
where South Dakota now IS. Mr..
Heusinger says one important
factor in the text of this work is
the description of certain Indian
tribes toward the North river (Rio |
Grande) known as the Tecas was
then the name for the reformed |
Indians living in the missions, for
it speaks of them as having en-
oraced christianity, and being the
passionate lovers of the Spaniards. /
Texas was therefore no doubt /
derived from the word Tecas, he

A Promotion on the Battlefield.

1 was ordered to carry some am
munition to the boys at the very
front. The regiment lay against
the hillside under a CALLING fire.
One hardly dared lift his head
above the ground, fearing to be
killed. I got my bundles of car
tridges to the men and sat down in
depression in the hillside. 1 was
safe as long as-I did not move.
Once more had chance to think,
there, with the bullets whizzing
within three feet of me. We could
go neither forward nor back. We
were just sitting around and being
killed. Still the attack had not
been given up. Sitting in that pro-
tected spot, dozen soldiers, with
heads bowed low, crept past me.
Each carried a musket and a little
ladder. They were to make the
desperate attempt 20 try and place
these ladders across the ditch, when
the regiment would climb over them
and cross into the works. These
laddermen passed so close could
look into their eyes. For once, at
least, felt death to be lowering
very near. These men had surely
volunteered to die. Few, or none
of them, ever were seen again.
Our assault failed. Our whole bri-
gade crept down the gullies and
ravines as best we could, and got
away. Again we tried it at another
point, and there our leader, Col.
Boomer, calling to the Iowa men
to follow him, was shot dead.
1t was shutdown and the storming
of the city was abandoned. The
siege commenced. Like beavers,
we dug and dug till all the hills in
front of the forts were honeycomb
ed with rifle pits. Every soldier
at the front fired his hundred
rounds a day, whether an enemy
was seer or not. The men inside
the forts did the same with us, and
at intervals a hundred cannon pour
ed exploding shells into the city.
One morning when l was out at
the front rifles pits l saw Gen.
Matthies creeping along the gal
Ieries to the pit where 1 was firing.
He had a package in his hand wrap
ped in brown paper. To my aston
shment he unfolded the paper and |
gave me an officer S sash. No Won
