A Note to *1 rant That the Typewriter
\Va» to Go,
t?ho was a dainty little thing, and the
old gvntlcman appeared to be prepos-
sessed in h( r favor right from the start,
but there was evidently something thut
lundo him pause.
*'lA>ok lu re," he said in hia blunt
fashion. ' 'I like you and your reference#
are all tight. You run tlie typewriter as
if you knew all there is to kno^ about
It, and you don't look like a i^+rl who
would be sick every third day and
want to grt away an hour or two early
all the rest of the time, but before I en-
gage you I want- to have a clear under-
standing with you on one snbject."
"Yes, sir," she replied, looking at
him inquiringly.
"Of course," he explained, "I expect
you will bo perfectly satisfactory, but
if you are not there must bo uo doubt
about my ri^ht to discharge you."
"Certainly not."
"If I want you to ko, I'll just have
one of the clerks put a note on your desk
or leave it with tho cashier for you, and
you're to take that ai< final. "
"Naturally," she said, looking at
him in some surprise.
"You're not to enter any protest or
file auy objections," he persisted, "nud
most of all you're not to weep."
"Why, I suppose I can ask you
why"—
"Yon can't ask me a thiug," ho
broke in. "If you get a note asking
you to quit, you're just to put on your
thiuKM and walk out without a whim
per or question of any kind. Is that uu
derstood ?''
"It is," she replied.
"Have I your promise to live up to
that agreement?"
" You have. Hut it is such an extraor-
dinary request that 1—I"—
" Voudk wornau," said the old gen-
tleman inipre. .-ively, "I've been in busi-
ness here f« r 50 years, and up to the
time woman got a good foothold in tlio
business world I was in the habit of en-
gaging and discharging clerks as seemed
to me best from the standpoint of my
busiutss. In an unguarded moment,
however. I was fnduced to him a young
woman to mn a typewriter for me, aud
after I fouud that she wasn't satisfac-
tory to me it took me over eight weeks ]
to discharge her. I left a note on her
desk and she promptly came in aud

various subordinates, but each time she

she was still drawiug salary just the

right, but win n it comes to getting her
out of business somebody else can have

The I>ouoet Skirt.
Thedoucet skirt shirred on fine cords
around the waist, the shining extend-
ing below the liips, is a popular feature
of summer frocks. In organdie this
fashion is particularly adaptable. A
pretty "summer girl," who looked as
if she had stepped out of a picture at a
wedding in the country recently, had
an oigandie with a white ground, pow-
dered with tiny pink rosebuds, the skirt
made in this way and worn over a white
taffeta slip. The waist had a little full-
ness gathered on the right shoulder nud
under the arm, the folds being brought
across the breast diagonally aud fas-
tened with a ruffle ou the left side,
forming a curve around the collarlrss
neck, which wars left a little bare, the
organdie forming a sort of bolero, which
was drawn tightly across the figure and
the waist defined by a high draped belt.
The sleeves were made without being
gathered and drawn tightly around the
arms, except at the top, where a smart
looking puff accentuated the shoulders.
With this pretty frock was worn a
leghorn hat tilted over on the side by a
cluster of pink roses. Roses also formed
a garniture ou top, with loops of black
velvet ribbon forming an aigret on one
side.—New York Tribune.

A well known professor is noted for
his absentmineledness. He aud a friend,
another old professor, used to take a
daily walk together and discuss matters
quite beyond the exmiprehensiou of ordi-
nary mortals.
One day when the walking was very
bad professor No. 1 was ou his way to |
the corner at which he aud his friend j
always me t when he encountered a j
youug student whose face he recognized j
dimly, having seen it every day for ,
some weeks in his morning class. He j
accordingly bailed hi« pepil, who was j
wading through the tuuei l.» k' t across i
the street.
"Have yon seen my friend?" he asked, j
"Yes, sir," replied the student, paus- \

Championed by a Dog,
Several years ago in Wisconsin, before
tbe Indian had retired from the ne igh
borhcod e>f the white man, a mother
aud her little girl were alone in their
cottage ou the' edge of a great forest.
Everything seemed peaceful, and then
was 110 thought of danger. The mother
sat inside the door sewing, while the
child was in the bright sunshine play
ing. Their large black dog Cuff was the
only other member of the family. Sud
denly half a dozen Indians fresh from a
recent raid on whisky stood in the- door-
way and demanded more whisky. The
lady had no whisky, but offered them
food and drink. The Indians, howe'ver,
were drunk, and before the mother
could interfere the roughest seized th
little girl and was making off with her
when the dog, which bad wandered
away a short distance, came bounding
back. In an instant he had the savage
by the throat aud threw him to the
ground. The others, having no firearms,
beat a hasty retreat. The dog kept a
tight grip on the Indian until they had
all gone, then released him, and be also
departed.—Our Dumb Animals.
An Analysis.
"What did that young man call this
poe'inV" asked the editor
"A satire."
"And that implies that he is show-
ing the uselessncss and absurdity of
something."
"I believe sn."
"Well, there's only one guess that I
can make concerning this, and that is
ftiat it is a satire on poetry."—Wash-

A Delicate Compliment.
No more elegant compliment was
«ver paid to a preacher than that of
King Louis XIV of France to Jean Ba-
tiste Musillon, bishop of Clermont.
Said lie: "I have heard many great
preachers, and the effect they produced
iu me was that I felt thoroughly satis-
tied with them. Eve:ry time I heard
Jou 1 was dinsutistied with myself."
John Griffin of Zanesville, O.,
says: ' I never lived a day for
thirty years without suffering
agony, until a box of DeWitt's
Witch Hnzel Salve cured my
piles." For piles and rectal

Good Manners and Quick Wit.
The little viscount is receiving a few
friends in his bachelor quarters. Among
them is Boireau.
Tbe latter, having allowed his cigar
to go out, throws it without ceremony
on the carpet. In order to give him a
lesson in good manners the little vis-
count stoops to pick it up, but Boireau,
feigning to misunderstand his intention,
interposes:
"Oh, leave the* butt, my dear fellow.
Take a fresh cigar."
And be hands him the box.—Paris

Shirt Signs.
"In Brooklyn the other day," said a
resident of Manhattan borough, "I saw
in the window of a furnishing goods
store this sign: 'Shirt Constructor.'
There is a furnishing goods store in
New York that displays, among other
signs, one marked 'Shirter.' There used
to be another furnishing goods store in
this city with a sign reading, as I re-
member it, 'Shirt Builder,' but 'Shirt
Constructor* is new as far as I know."

HER PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state
but native Americans piedomin
ate. The negro population of th*
state is small compared to othei
southern states and the "race
Johnson was I problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southen
and western states predominating
LAWS.
The laws of Texas are made fo-
her own people and are the moe
liberal, equitable and iuet any
where.
HOMESTEAD LAWS
Are the most liberal, and her col
lection lawn tbe most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
iainily a guarantee against waste
'n'fextravagance and bad manage-
raent on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
otate constitution will give an ide:
of the protection which the statf
throws aroimd a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla
ture shall have power, and it shal.
be its duty, to protect by law frojL
forced sale a certain portion of th<
personal property of all heads o'
families, anei also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorem tax
is now 20 cents on the 8100, and
our state school tax is 18 cents
on the £100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the £100.
LAND.
Improved lands are worth from
£10 to £50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost any other county. They
lave the rare advantage of bring-
ng both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
|roads.i
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.

COOKE COUNTY.
Cooke is one of the northern tie:
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory on
the north by Red river.
It is a splendid farming section
and is also well adapted to stock-
raising.
The soil of the county is abou*
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and tho
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can bf
found excellent timber and water
Red river borders the county or.
he north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Cleai

through it.
The county has an area of 93?
