The Way IL Read.

The editor of little western pa.
per was in the habit of cheering M
his subscribers daily with a column
Of short pertinent comments on their
town, their habits, and themselves.
The department on account of its in
Innate personal flavor was the most
popular thing in the paper.
The editor, as he saw it growing
in favor, gradually allowed himself a
wider and wider latitude in his re-
marks, until the town passed much
of its time conjecturing "what he'd
das't to say nezt."
On hot day, when the simeon
whistled gaily up the streets of the
town, deposlting everywhere its bur
den of sand, the editor brought
forth this gem OF thought;
"All the windows along Main street
need washing badly"
The next morning he was waited
on by a platoon Of indignant citizens
who confronted him with the para
graph in question fresh from the
hands Of the compositor and inform
ed him fiercely that he had gone too
far After a hasty and Mortified
glance he admitted that he had.
It now read:
"All the widows along Main street
need washing badly. "-"Under the
Chestnut Tree" in the
August Everybody's.

methods of that large swindling insti-

Baird, Tex The Mexican, Alberto

said he wished he could talk English

be an example to everybody; that the
road to crime is like stairway OF

somehow, the fear that possessed him

A REPLY TO FORAKER.
SENATOR cUL5ERsoN SPOKE FOR
NEARLY TWO HOURS
AUDIENCE VERY ATTENTIVE.
Aspersions Cast by Foraker on the
People of Brownsville Were
Repelled.

Washington In speech of nearly
two hours duration Senator Culberson
Thursday afternoon replied to the re-
marks made by Senator Foraker the
last day before the recess on the
Brownsville affair. A crowd too large
for the accommodations of the gallar-
les had gathered before the session
began in expectation of hearing Sena-
tor Culberson talk. Long lines of peo-
pie extended from every door leading
to the galleries, each one waiting in
the hope that some one leaving would
make room inside Few of them were
rewarded, for Senator Culberson held
his audience until he closed, notwlth-
standing he read copiously law ex-
tracts, which we're of interest only to
lawyers. Equal Difference was shown
to Senator Culberson on the floor of
the chamber. 1t seemed as if every
Democratic Senator in the city was
present, and there were but few va
cant seats on the Republican side. The
senate gave him the closest attention,
and when Senator Culberson conclud-
ed more than a score of his colleagues
surrounded him to offer their congrat-
ulations. They were followed by near
ly all of the Texas delegation in the
house, who had come over when word
reached the other end Of the capitol
that Senator Culberson was speaking.
Men who have been in the press
galleries ever since Senator Culberson
came to Washington declare that his
speech of Thursday was the strongest
they have ever heard him make.

seems to understand that and when
he is unhitched from the team of dogs,

master and leaps upon his breast. It
was as if some instinct of sympathy,
Of prescience, was passing between

called. Late Carscallen and Cloud-in-

Suddenly he paused. Five hundred

there comes feeble cloud of smoke!

Cloud-in-the-Sky gives a wild whoop,
such whoop as only an Indian can

there appears at the mouth of the
