People generally are needless of
the danger Of blood poisoning from
wounds that puncture the skin. Many
a perilously close approach to death
many painful fatality would be
ayerted if everybody made the practice
of promptly rinsing with an antiseptc
solution every hurt place where there
is broken skin. The necessity of this
precaution is painfully enforced by a
dispatch from New York telling of the
sad condition of Ambrose Kelly, who
was a well man last Wednesday, but in
"skylarking" with a friend struck one
Of his friends teeth with his open hand,
the result being slight abrasion of the
skin. There was a small flow of blood
and Kelly thought no more about the
matter till Friday when his hand be-
came sore. Saturday he went to the
doctor. who recognized bad case of
blood poisoning and sent his patient to
a hospital, where he now lies, his
whole system permeated with the poi
son, and the chances very gravely
against his recovery, though he has a
good constitution and is only thrty-six
years Of age.

Houston, Texas
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old SfTvash."

TT QUESTION is either the greatest
city in the southwest or not, de-
pending on whether the Houston
man who claims it Is, is able to lick the
Dallas and San Antonio man whom he
meets. 1t is an ancient Texas city with
a brand new boom on, and while it is
not much larger than Railway, n. J., or
Yonkers, n. Y, it. makes a noise which
reverberates throughout ten states and is
looked up to with great respect by all
visitors.
Houston is situated in the eastern part
of Texas in the midst of snarl of rail
roads, and has $4,000 people This is
the bitterest thing in life to Houston. 1t
thought it had 10000 until the emu
merators got busy. But those $4,000 can
out-talk Denvers 100000, and Houston
man can make a Kansas City man wait
for two hours for a chance to get in a
word about his city.
Faith in Houston and Buffalo Bayou
constitute HoustOn's religion Buffalo
Bayou is an infant ship canal connecting
Houston with the ocean. Some day it
