The rapid growth of Evening Trib-
une’s subscription list shows that the
people appreciate it and are standing by
it.
The senate committee on towns and
cities will probably report favorably
on Dallas’ proposed charter amend-
ments.
There is an elegant chance to “hang
ont the banners on Masonic hall, but the
flag staff stands there doing nothing and
Mardi Gras is coming.
To the legislature: Don’t forget the
scalp law; there are lots of men in other
portions of the state who need scalping,
and they need it p. d. q.
Now is the time to get in the work. A
long pull, a strong pull and a pull alto-
gether is in order and Galveston will feel
the benefit of it hereafter.
Galveston is the recognized “red
snapper” market. Watch the invest-
ments being made and see how red they
are to snap up the chances.
What is Galveston going to do about
the San Diego railway extension ? Only
think about it or nothing at all? She
seems to be sleeping upon her rights.
The airship floated around the hall in
Chicago—just a little bit—but the white
squadron floats in the harbor of Galves-
ton and does honor to her Mardi Gras.
The new Sunday law restricting the
keeping open of saloons between 9 a. m.
and 4 p. m. on Sabbath will probably be
made effective by the present legislature.
Galveston will have better weather
some of these days. Don’t despair; but
if King Momus don’t bring his slicker
along it looks as though he would be
badly left.
Bills for the erection of forty-five new
counties will be introduced during the
present session of the legislature. Of a
bandbox full, you can “pay your money
and take your choice.
Sam Jones’ recent act at Palestine
would go to show that he belongs to
both the church militant and the church
triumphant. Sam’s experience has taught
him when to copper the ace.
The Austin Statesman says there is no
desire on the part of the present legisla-
ture to enact a “ harsh ” railway com-
mission. Evening Tribune sincerely
hopes not; but what will the harvest be?
The average Galvestonian agrees with
the great Napoleon, who used to say:
“To succeed one must sometimes be very
bold and sometimes very prudent;” and
he also realizes that this is his time for
boldness, for dash and for a display of
unstinted hospitality toward the strangers
who are coming here by thousands to
view the city’s magnificent progress in
the past and unexampled prospects for
the future.
To President Harrison; Texas, with
her “beastly democratic majority” ex-
pects few favors from a Republican ad'
ministration, but Galveston, presuming
on favors already extended her, with hat
in hand would humbly plead that you
put some sober man in charge of the
weather for a few days. The clerk that
is running it now is about to ruin the
Mardi Gras. “And as in duty bound we
will ever pray.”
His daughter was restored to her family
across the water, and is now a pretty
girl of 17. I have never told this story
before, but I am ready to take an affi-
davit to its truth. It all happened about
thirty miles from Dallas.

I built a shrine and set my idol there,
And mom and noon and night my knees I bent,
And cried aloud until my strength was spent,
Beseeching his cold pity with my prayer.
Sometimes at dawning, when the day was fair,
A ray of light to his stem visage sent
The semblance of a smile. “Does he relent,”
I cried, “this strong god Love, whose high priest
is Despair?”
But noon came on, and in its full clear light
I saw his lips, as ruthless as of old;
And his eyes mocked me like relentless fata,
Till I was fain to hide me from his sight;
Then one swept off from him his mantle's fold,
And lo! my idol was not Love, but Hate.

Do the Deaf Dream of Hearing?
Dr. J. M. Buckley, an expert in mat-
ters pertaining to the deaf and dumb,
has the following curious note to con-
tribute concerning the dreams of persons
born deaf:
In visiting institutions for the blind
and the deaf I have made inquiry, and
have never found an instance of a person
born deaf, or of a child who lest his
hearing before he was 4 years of age,
dreaming of hearing. Among the results
of recent inquiries I present the follow-
ing from the principal of the State Insti-
tution of the Blind and Deaf at St. Au-
gustine, Fla.:
“I have closely questioned the deaf
children here as to whether they have
ever dreamed of hearing, and the invaria-
ble answer is ‘No.’ I have asked the
same question of upward of fifty deaf
persons with the same result, except
where the person interrogated had lost
his hearing after learning to talk. These
last mentioned are all grown persons of
some education who understood the ques-
tion fully, and are. very positive that
they had never dreamed of hearing more
than a rumbling sound.”—St. Louis Re-
public.
Some People Never Learn.
It is surprising how some people will
continue to use things in daily life with-
out any attempt to learn how properly
iAf use them. There is, for instance, the
man who can never learn to sharpen his
razor, the woman who winds her watch
the wrong way, the people who do not
know that the time of starting the prin-
cipal trains on the different railroads
and the time of closing the mails is ad-
vertised in the newspapers, the people
who blow out the gas, the folks who
jump the wrong way from a moving
car, the unfortunates who are always
getting left or suffering injury or losing
property because of unfamiliarity with
things they ought to know.—New York
Sun.
The conveniences of modern life are
so many that it ought to be a part of
everybody’s education to have at least a
general knowledge of how to use them.
You should know how to take care of
your umbrella and your eyeglasses, to
keep your clothing in order, to fight off
the insects that will overrun any house
without precaution, to meet the emer-
gencies that daily arise in civilized life.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Austin Statesman: Capital punish-
ment, promulgated in the Mosaic law,
has been shown bv the experience of ages
to be the only real prevention of assas-
sination ns it is the only adequate and
just punishment for its commission.
Take away the means of committing
the murder and the villian is at fault,
Fort Worth Mail: Austin has secured
a favorable report from the house com-
mittee on her new charter,which extends
her municipal limits twenty-one miles up
the Colorado river on either side.. Of
course, some people opposed the bill—
some people are always ready to oppose
every good measure—but it went through
just the same. /
But it will not please the taxpayers of
the city, which proposes to issue an al-
most unlimited amount of bonds—by a
dam site.
Dallas News: There is a bar at which
the criminal and his lawyer will plead
for a continuance in vain. Run, lawyer,
run.
Rats; bars of that kind can be found
in any city.
Houston Post: New Orleans is adver-
ti-ing her queen of the carnival. In
\exas we have no special or carnival
queens. All of our girls are queens.
All Texas girls are queens—there is no
dispuiing that fact. Bnt come down and
see Galveston’s queens during Mardi
Gras and be surprised.
Dallas News funny man : Divorces are
entirely too numerous. When a man
marries he ought to be forced to con-
sider himself in for the war.
If the perpetrator of the above had
carried a smoothbore musket during the
late unpleasantness he would have re-
membered that he was sworn in for
three months or “during the war.” Pa-
triotism goes a great ways, but it can’t
be expected to live forever on parched
corn.

Ruby’s Letter.
A letter from Mr. J. W. Ruby, Union
City, Ind., says: “I have used your
Clarke’s Extract of Flax (Papillon) Cough
Cure and find it a complete cure for deep
seated cold. It has done more than two
of our most skilled physicians. My chil-
dren had the whooping cough and with
the aid of your cough cure, they had it
very light compared with neighbors’
children who did not take it. I believe
it to be the best cough cure in the mar-
ket.” So it is. A large bottle, only $1.

Visitors in tlie Sick Room.
One of the most difficult things to
manage is, not unfrequently, the matter
of visitors. Comparatively few persons
can visit the sick without doing more
harm than good. Bedridden people and
persons confined to their chambers or
their homes by chronic ailments may
often be greatly helped by friendly calls,
by various little tangible expressions of
sympathy, and in general by sunshine
brought from the outside world, al-
though even in such cases wisdom is re-
quired.—Youth’s Companion.

I checked my horse, and after one
long, straining look around owned to
myself that I was lost. I had suspected
the fact some time since, but had stub-
bornly fought down the suspicion, though
my horse evidently realized it. With pa-
tient endurance he plodded along, resig-
nation plainly expressed in the droop of
his tail and ears. A Texas prairie is a
beautiful, soul inspiring sight on a bright
day, when the sky is an inverted bowl of
turquois, and the wind comes sweeping
over the grassy wastes as fresh and sweet
as the bloom on a baby’s cheek, but
there can be no greater sense of desola-
tion born of nature than that aroused by
this same prairie when it lies black and
bare to the chill October wind, which
has plucked the glory of Indian summer
from earth and sky.
I felt this as I gazed about me, discon-
certed and even a trifle anxious, for the
sun had set some minutes before in a
cloud heap, which, closing over it like a
rebel horde deposing its king, overran
his monarchy with its blood red standard.
In place of the ranch, the hearty wel-
come, pleasant words, bed, supper and
fire I had expected to reach by sunset,
there was nothing to be seen before, be-
hind, on either hand, but the dead level
of the plain. There were paths in plenty;
in fact, the trouble was there were too
many—all narrow and winding, for
whose meandering there seemed not the
slightest excuse, except the general tend-
ency to crookedness most things, ani-
mate and inanimate alike, possess. But
it would have taken the instinct of a
bloodhound or a trailing Indian to have
said which paths had been made by
horses’ feet or those of cattle. It was
certainly beyond my powers to decide,
and in addition to their doubtful nature
they had a most perplexing way of run-
ning into each other, crossing and re-
crossing, going off at a tangent and fre-
quently wandering off and getting lost
altogether. So I soon dismissed the
problem as hopeless of solution.
Now that the sun was gone, I found
my knowledge of the points of the com-
pass gone -with it. As I sat perplexed
and worried the gloom of twilight gath-
ered fast and the chill of coming rain
smote me through and through, while in
the distance there was the roll of thun-
der. Glancing up I saw that the masses
of cloud had closed together in a curtain
of gray mist. My horse strode on of
his own accord, and hoping that his in-
stinct would lead us to some house I let
him have his will. Presently it began
to rain, a sort of heartbroken, passion-
less weeping, but with a steady deter-
mination to persevere all night, that
awoke graver apprehension in my bosom
than any amount of blustering, show-
ery downpour could have done. This
fine still rain was accompanied by a low
soughing wind that added its desolate
note to the general dreariness of the
hour. Of course I did not mind a little
rain, but tiisu prospect of spending the
entire night exposed to it was anything
but agreeable, and I grew really violent
in denunciation of the folly which had
led me, an utter stranger in the coun-
try, to attempt to find anything less
than a volcano in active eruption on a
bald prairie.
The Texans are a fine people, in some
—in many—respects the most admirable
of hosts, but individually and collect-
ively they lack any appreciation of dis-
tance. This is due of course to them
having so much space around them, but
to a stranger ignorant of the extent to
which the phrases “a little piece out”
and “just outside o’ town” can be
stretched this contemptuous regard of
miles is a little misleading. But in the
face of that dreary, monotonous moan-
ing of rain and wind even my anger at
my own folly could not burn long, and
though chilled to the bone and tired and
hungry I plodded on dully, grateful
that no night, even the longest, could
last forever. It was now quite dark,
and very dark at that, though at short
intervals close to the horizon a faint
gleam of lightning showed, too distant
to cast brightness on my path and only
sufficient to intensify the blackness
about me.
All at once I saw a man walking about
fifteen feet in front of me. Yes, I know
I said it was intensely dark, but all the
same, I repeat it, I saw a man walking in
front of me, and furthermore I could see
that he was a large man, dressed in
rough but well fitting clothes; that he
wore a heavy red beard, and that he
looked back at me from time to time
with an expression of keen anxiety on
his otherwise rather fixed features.
“Hallo!” I cried, but as he did not
halt I concluded he did not hear me. As
a second hail produced no result I spurred
my weary horse up to overtake the stran-
ger. But though the gray responded
with an alacrity most commendable un-
der the circumstances, I soon found that
this strange pedestrian did not intend to
let me catch up with him. Not that he
hurried himself. He seemed without
any exertion to keep a good fifteen feet
between us. Then I began to wonder
how, "with intense darkness shutting me
in as four black walls, I was yet able to
see my strange companion so clearly, to
take in the details of his dress, and even
the expression of his face, and that at a
distance more than twice my horse’s
length when I could hardly see his head
before me. I am not given to supersti-
tious fancies, and my only feeling was
of curiosity. When after attempt after
attempt to overtake the stranger had
failed, I took mercy on my jaded horse,
and resolved to follow my unsociable [ I found,

The First Step.
Perhaps you are run down, can’t eat,
can’t sleep, can’t think, can’t do any-
thing to your satisfaction, and you won-
der what ails you. You should heed the
warning, you are taking the first step
into nervous prostration. You need a
nerve tonic and in Electric Bitters you
wifi find the exact remedy for restoring
your nervous system to its normal,
healthy condition. Surprising results
follow the use of this great nerve tonic
and alterative. Your appetite returns,
good digestion is restored, and the liver
and kidneys resume healthy action. Try
a bottle. Price 50c. at J. J. Schott’s

guide, as he must have some definite des-
tination.
We went on in silence for nearly half
an hour, when as suddenly as he had ap-
peared he was gone. I looked around
for him, half afraid from his instant and
complete disappearance that I had been
dreaming, when I perceived that I was
close to a small, low building of some
sort. I reined in and shouted several
times, but not the slightest response
could I hear, and at last I rode boldly up
and tapped on the wall with the butt of
my riding whip. Then, as this elicited
no sign of life, I concluded that I had
stumbled on some deserted house, or
that it was the abode of my eccentric
friend; so dismounting and tying the
gray I resolved to spend the rest of the
night under a roof or to find some good
reason for continuing my journey. I
felt my way along the wall till I reached
a door, and trying this and finding that
it yielded to me I stepped inside, strik-
ing a match as I did so. Fortunately I
carried my matches in an air tight case,
and as it was dry the one I struck gave
me a light at once. I found myself in a
large room, close to a fireplace, over
which a rude shelf was placed, and on
this mantel I saw an oil lamp, to which
I applied my match as I looked about me.
On the hearth was heaped a quantity
of ashes, and over these crouched a
child, a little girl of 5 or 6. At the other
end of the room, which was plainly and
scantily furnished, lay a man across a
bed, and as I raised the lamp I saw that
he was the same I had. been following,
but there was something in his attitude
and face that struck me as peculiar, and
I was about to go forward and look at
him, when the child, who had at first
seemed dazed at the light, fairly threw
herself upon me.
“Have you anything for Nelly to eat?”
she said, and then began to cry. “Oh,
Nelly so hungry!”
I ran my hand into my pocket and
drew forth what had been a paper bag
of chocolate candy, but was now a pulpy
unappetizing mass. I must confess to a
childish fondness for sweets, which I
usually carry in some form about me. I
handed the remains of my day’s supply
to the child, and then walked over to
the bed. Yes, it was the same man, red
beard, rough clothes, but setting off the
magnificent frame to perfection; the
same man, but dead, long dead.
I took his hand only to find it stiff and
cold, while his face had the dull gray as-
pect never seen in the newly dead. As
I stood gazing down on him a little
hand touched mine.
“Nelly so hungry!” said the child.
“Have you eaten all the candy?” I
asked her.
“Yes, yes! But me hungry, for me
had no dinner, no brekkus, no supper,
and papa won’t get up.”
The house, which consisted of the
large room, a smaller kitchen and a
shed, where I found a quantity of hay
and fodder, seemed quite bare of food,
but by dint of searching in the hay I
discovered a nest, which Nelly informed
me was there, and in it two fresh eggs.
These I boiled for her. When she had
finished I soothed her to sleep on a bed I
made for her before the fire. Then after
I had put my horse in the shed room and
fed and watered him I performed as
well as I could a service for the dead.
When day dawned I was able to dis-
cern at some distance from the house a
line of telegraph poles, and taking the
child with me I followed these to the
nearest town, where I notified the au-
thorities of the death.
The dead man’s name was Frederick
Barnstaple. He was an Englishman, so
, a recent arrival in those parts.

Saved from Consumption.
Several physicians predicted that Mr.
Asa B. Rowley, druggist, of Chicago,
would soon have consumption caused by
an aggravated case of catarrh. Custo-
mers finally induced him to try Clarke’s
Extract of Flax (Papillon) Catarrh Cure.
He says: “The result was unpsecedented.
I commenced to get well after the first
application and am now, after a few
weeks, entirely cured.” It will do the
same for you. Price $1. Try Clarke’s
Flax Soap for the skin and you will use
no other. 25 cents. All of Clarke’s Flax
