Doesn't Now.

IT used to worry a good DEAL" said
the boarding house ! Philosopher, "over
the national deficit. Often I've laid
awake till midnight thinking about it.
But one night when l was asleep /
dreamed that George Washington,
looking just as he does on the two
cent postage stamp, came and touched
me on the shoulder and said: My
son, don't fret your gizzard about that
deficit. You don't have to pay it,
And, by George. / haven't done any
worrying over it since!"

FULL INVESTIGATION.
House Committee Favors Penitentiary
investigation.

Austin, Texas, March Without
single committeeman's voice raised
in opposition, the bill by Senator Ter
rel of McLennan, providing for a
thorough investigation of the Texas
penitentiary system, involving the
treatment of convicts, was given a ia
vorable report by the house commit
tee on penitentiaries this morning
The measure was under consideration
but few moments and no amend
ments were even suggested
Representative A. T. Mckinney,
whose home is in Huntsville, where
some of the. states penal institutions
are located, was appointed by Chair
man Elliott of the committee to make
a full report on the bill.
The state cotton factory bill by
Senator Bryan was also reported ia
vorably by this committee. This
measure is the same, practically, as
the house bill by Mr. Davis, and car
ries an appropriation of 100000 1t
is very likely that the senate bill will
be substituted in the house for the
house bill.

THE STORY.

yARIB was face to face with the
j crisis of his life. AS he stood
out there under the stars he did not
know which way to turn. He feared
to go home and break the news. and
he knew he could not go back on the
pledge which he had made that even.
ing. as he had stood before the altar
while the smoke OF the sacrifice was
ascending to heaven.
It seemed like dream. and yet he
knew it was all only too true. He had
never felt quite at ease since he had
taken to wife the daughter of the rich
Gentle merchant, and when Ezra the
scribe had pointed out Gods law, the
awfulness of his sin had swept over
him. He. priest and one OF the lead
ers among the people. had violated the
law OF Moses and the sanctity of Gods
service by his marriage to heathen
woman, and in the remorse OF the mo-
ment there had been but one thought.
and that was his sin against God.
Then Shechaniah, transgressor like
himself and the others Of the law. had
stood up and said unto Ezra:
We have trespassed against our
God, and have taken strange wives of
the people of the land: yet there is
hope IN Israel concerning this thing

President Fallieres' first list Of deco.
rations for the New Year included the
name OF one man who is little known.
This was a young physician named
Louis Bozy, who lost an eye in the
discharge OF his duty. DR.. Boy,
while acting as assistant to an oparat-
ing surgeon in one Of the Paris hos
pitals, had an eye injured through a
drop of poisonous matter coming in
contact with It. lie knew that an
antidote must be applied Immediately.
but by doing this he would have left
the chief surgeon unattended, and re

completed In consequence OF his
heroism he lost an eye and was con
fined TO a hospital for a long time.

ceived by a physician in the discharge
of his duty was as honorable as one

To Discourage Opium Users.

A quaint touch Of oriental ingenuity
to harass the persistent users OF
opium has been invented BY the sn-
perintendent of the police at Canton
says the Lancet's correspondent in
China This official has issued 20. 200
wooden licenses, ten inches long bv
eight inches broad and three-ffths OF
an inch thick On the front OF these
boards are characters giving the
smokers name and address, and the
quantity allowed him per diem, and on
the back are the opium regulations.
The licensees are not allowed 70 cover
their boards when going to buy opium.
but must wear them conspicuously so
that all may see them. Next year
these wooden licenses are to be two
feet long BY one and half broad and
three-tifths Of an inch thick.
