PRIZE CONTEST.

Four thousand people. men, boys and
girls. engaged in the contests in crop
growing instituted by the Texas Indus
trial Congress under the inspiration
and leadership of Colonel EXall. For
these four thousand the average yield of
corn was ~fifty-one bushels to the acre.
The average yield of corn for Texas dur
ing n tcn-vear period is something less
than twenty bushels. Assume that these
four thousand would have. without the
incentive of the Industrial Congress-
prizes. exceeded the average. and made
twenty-five bushels to the acre. and
there are %twentv-siX bushels to be credit
ed to everyone of these four thousand as
a consequence Of this contest. or, in the
aggregate, we have 10f.0 900 bushels of
corn which would not have been added
to the states wealth had not this contest
been instituted. Estimated ut the low
price Of soc Il bushcl we have So 900
added To the wealth of Texas i'm one seas
on from the expenditure of $4,000. But
of course this profit, huge as it is. CON
sidcrcd in terms of percentage. is but
a small fraction of the whole. For cx
ample, the average yield of cotton in
this state is one-third bale 10 the acre.
That is what these four thousand con
testants would have made if they had
not been stimulated by the offer Of these
prizes to extraordinary efforts. Under
this stimulus they made an average of
one and a fourth bale to the acre. The
difference is. roughly. $500 bales. which
at $50 a bale is worth $175. 1000. Count
ing results of the contest as to two crops
alone, therefore. we have added to the
wealth of the state something like S227,
900 as the result of an expenditure OF
$4,000. Galveston News.

HAMAN.

The last president to mention the case
of the celebrated Mr.. Hannah, in any
suggestive way, was Andrew Jackson,
who limited that if certain reasonable
talk was not stopped he would hang
some brilliant talkcr; and. if our his.
tOrical reading is not at fault, Old Hick-
DRY suggested that he might improve Oh
the original Hannah proposition by a
few inches. Somehow the talk stopped,
for, as in the case of the famous Jim
Bludsoe, They all had trust in his cuss-
edness, and knew he would keep his
word"
Mr.. Wilson is of course an unknown
quantity as to the extent of his willing
ness to make his word good in a matter
of that kind. Still his past record is of
a nature to lead us to believe that he
will back up his promises in all in
stances where he gives utterance to
promised. ! There is also something
about the lines of his keen, intellectual,
face and the set of his jaw, that augurs
favorably of his Willingness "a make
good on the Hannah proposition.
AS he himself remarks it is not easy
TO- believe that any man OF set of men
will deliberately set about creating a
panic to defeat tariff reform. Yet, as
he also remarks. the thing is possible.
And the thing, or any overt act to bring
the thing to pass, would be high treas
on. Once catch and convict the man,
or men, v 10 attempt il. and the higher
the gallOvs on which the malefactors
are hung. the louder will be the plaudits
of an outraged nation. 1t will be well
enough to !,ncp the Hannah incident
fresh in thr minds of the captains OF
high finance. With all the
of modern mechanical science now at
our command it should be possible to
go the ancient Persian satrap at least
q hundred feet better.

The winter months passed and the
snow was as white as the white roses
which came each week to Cecile. No
word came with them, and the news
of the preparations for the marriage
was in the society columns.
Then one day as Cecile sat at the
little table in her grandmother's room
the companion, Agatha, looked up
from the morning paper and said:
."Adrian Drew has been Tilted. The
girl he was going to marry has run
away with another. man."
Cecile's mother looked hard at the
girl. "You love him." she said. II
have known it for long time. Marry
him, if you will; l can't have you
looking SO thin and pale. 1t hurts
my heart"
That night Adrian Drew came into
room that was filled with white roses,
and in the center of them all was a
slim girl in black velvet, with a white
rose at her breast, and he took her in
his arms and said, II love you'll am
free"
Then there was long silence and
the fragrance of the roses was around
them. At last, when Adrian lifted his
head Cecile said:
upstairs is an old woman who loves
me. In my sorrow my heart found her
heart. We must let her live with us
in our rose garden, and-and let her
share Our joy Of love and youth"

Il do not want your money" said
Cecile, passionately. 81 want love-"
After that outburst she fed to her
room and packed little bag, and at
twilight silently slipped out of the
great house. In the darkness she
found the station and the train which
took her back to. her beloved school,
and there the next day Adrian came
for her.
"The teachers say that must go
back" she told him, weeping, "but
l will never go back"
"You will lose your grandmother's
money" he said softly. IF you do
not obey her. She is very angry"

He stood irresolute. "God knows"
he said earnestly, "that if l could
make it so. you should never go back
but my hands are tied"
And as she took step toward him,
he told her the truth. 81 love you,"
he said, my little white rose. but

She grew as white as. the roses for
which he had called her. "You are

"No, but l betrothed to the daugh-

used to come to- dine with YOU"
"Yet, you seemed to care-for me?"
"You were such a child did not
realize until too late how much l
cared for you. I was sorry for you;
felt that you were lonely"
"Yet, now you love me?"
with all my heart-but have no
right to tell you"
"You have a right and I have
right to tell you that for me there will
never be any other-but you"
He did not touch her hand; he only
stood looking at her, all the light gone
out of his twinkling eyes, his shoulders
bowed.
Presently she said, "Take me back
to my grandmother"
And when she, came into the great
dim room she flung herself on the
hard old woman's breast and said
"Love me, l have come back to YOU"
and old woman leaned down and kiss
ed her cheek.
