Ths Size Of Taxn..

Texas is1arger than all the New
England states combined, larger
than all the gulf states, including
Georgia, combined; larger than the
middle Atlantic states, consisting
Of New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Viz
ginia, West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia; larger than Ger
many, larger than France, larger
than Austria-Hungary. It IS big
enough to supply the population of
the United States with almost
everything it needs to eat, wear and
make life worth living without ex-
hausting its resources. All this is
not so remarkable from the stand
point of room when it is known
that the area of Texas is 265, ESQ
square miles, that its greatest
length is s25 miles and its greatest
breadth 740 miles. = Galveston

is the center of one of the most rap
idly developing horticultural sections
in the State. 1t is not developing on
paper as we often find such things,
but those people are actually plant
ing and caring for their trees, and
the older orchards are giving hand
some returns. But all this and much
more will be shown you; we say it
will, because it was our good fortune
last summer to be among large num-
Der of fruit growers who were invited
to look over this section after the adj
journment of the Maryland Horticul.
tural Meeting at Mountain Lake.
A Day in the Orchards-It has
been planned by the people of Keyser
and vicinity to give those attending
the meeting an outing in the nearby
orchards. This will be rare treat
that YOU cannot afford to miss. We
should like to tell you how well we
were treated on our former visit, al
ready referred to, and how the good
people of Keyser can make one feel
50 completely at home among them,
but shall refrain, and only urge all
those who are interested to come and
make this the best and most profitable
meeting in the history of the Society.
Come and bring your choicest fruits
and vegetables.
Come prepared to show and be
shown.
Yours respectfully,
S. w. MOORE

DEATH OF FORMER NEW HAVEN LADY.

George Bell, an aged citizen of
Racine, received telegram, Satur-
day, announcing the death of his
daughter, Mrs. Alex Boyd, at Hunt
ington, that morning.
Deceased was 81 years of age, the
mother of nine children, and was
Mr.. Bells Oldest daughter. Mrs.
Boyd has been in declining health
for many years, the FIRST step dating
back to a sad event that transpired
when she was resident of New Ha-
ven, when she sustained the loss of
son by drowning in the Ohio river.
Another sad blow came a few years
later, and her already weakened and
enfeebled health was greatly impair
ed, when another son met death on
the railroad. Her decline in health
has been gradual ever since and death
found her an easy prey.
The husband and children have
the sympathy of all in the loss of a
kind wife and indulgent mother.
The funeral and burial took place
at HuntingtOn.-POmeroy Tribune,

inc Opposition he Encountered ana
His Friend the Tailor.
Among the condolences that J. NJ.
Barrie has made concerning the
early years Of his career there is
none more intimate or more enIght-
ening than this bit, which adds the
pathos of story strangely IN con-
trast with his own:
TIE malignancy of publishers
could not turn me back. From the
day on which / first tasted blood
IN the garret my mind was made up.
There could be no hum-dreadful-
drum profession for me. Literature
was my game. 1t was not highly
thought Of by those who wished me
well l remember being asked by
two maiden ladies' about the time
] left the university what / was to
be, and when / replied brazenly,
NAn author" they flung up, their
hands, and one exclaimed reproach-
fully, "And you an N. A.n NV
mothers views at first were rot dis
similar. For long she took mine
1estingly as something would grow
out of, and afterward they hurt her
so that ! tried to give them up. To
be minister-that she thought was
among the fairest prospects, but she
was very ambitious woman, and
sometimes she would add, half
scared at her appetite, that there
were ministers who had become pro
fessors, 'but it was not canny to
think of such things"
! had only one person on my side,
an old tailor, one of the fullest men

talker. he was bachelor Che told
me all that is to be known about

his legs drawn up when he walked
as if he was ever carrying some
thing in his lap. His walks we're
of the shortest, from the teapot on
the hob to the board on which he
stitched, from the board to the hob,
and so to bed. He might have gone
out had the idea struck him, but in
the years knew him, the last of his
brave life, l think he was only in
the open twice, when he Gifted
changed his room for another hard
by. | did not see him make these
journeys, but seem to see him
now, and he is somewhat dizzy in
the odd atmosphere. In one hand
he carries box iron. He raises the
other, wondering what this is on his
head. 1t is hat. A faint smell of
singed cloth goes by with him. This
man had heard of my set of photo
graphs Of the poets and asked for a
single sight of them, which led to
our first meeting. l remember how
he spread them out on his board
and after looking long at them
turned his gaze on me and said SOL
emily:
What can do TO be forever known
And make the age to come my own?
These lines of Cowley we're new
to me, but the sentiment was not
new, and 1 marveled how the old
tailor could see through me so well.
So it was strange to me to discover
presently that he had not been
thinking of me at all, but of his
own young days, when that couplet
sang in his head and he, too, had
thirsted to set of for Grub street,
but was afraid, and while he hest
tated old age came. and then death,
and found him grasping a box iron.
