funny-the passenger on crowded troll

The Texas Primary.

The Texas legislature will investigate
the charge that money was improperly
used in the recent primary in that state
against the temperance cause. Let us
have all the facts. If money was, i'm
properly used, by whom, in what sums
and by whom contributed? 1t is Mr.

We read some thrilling story,
With sympathy aglow,
And then next day
The sossips gay
Confess it wasn't so.
The resignation rumor
Is hurried to and fro,
Our feelings grieved
Are soon relieved
TO find it wasn't so.
The scandal-mongers offer
Some dreadful tales of woe.
But after all,
Next time they call,
They say they weren't so.
This world that we inhabit
Would be a planet slow
If we were left
Plain truth, bereft
OF things that aren't SO.

A Bourbon in Mexico.

From the BuhafO COMMERCIAL.
There is no reason for surprise in the
fact that President Diaz has been en-
ter,aining prince of the Bourbon line

brother of the Duke Of Orleans, the
French pretender. The presidents hos
pitality is said to emphasize the changed
position of Mexico since the days when
Mexican soldiers shot the Emperor Maxi
milan, who had been seated by French
influence. The Bourbons, however. had
nothing to do with the French occupation
of Mexico The last of the Bonapartes
was responsible for that. and he left
Macmillan to his fate when he found
out after the close of the civil war, that
II he did not withdraw, the United States
would assert the Monroe doctrine against
him, with the force of one of the great
est fighting armies the world has ever
seen.

Prison Reform.
the San Francisco Chronicle

England has long stood In need of the
reformed methods of prison management
which Winston Churchill proposes. The
details of prison life as revealed by Mrs
MAVERICK and others seem unnecessarily
harsh as compared with the treatment
given incarcerated persons here. Penal
methods accomplish their purpose better
when all aspects of injustice are removed
from them, fact which Is better under
