LITERARY.
wide Awake.
Wide Awake tor April is a model num-
ber, whether for home reading or tor sup-
plementary readingjin school. For in-
stance, there is an extremely interesting
article by John Burroughs—his own story
of his boyhood—thkt will be read with
equal pleasure by voung and old. And
the same mav be said of the historical
article entitled “Ralegh and the Potato ”
A novel and gracetul Easter game for
young people, “The Cascaroni Dance,"
t* beautifully Illustrated by Edmund H.
Garrett, I he short stories are of unusual
interest; especially “A Dash tor a Flag,”
a story of the Civil War, thrillingly illus-
trated by Sandham. The poems arc par-
ticularly good, really for children —several
very funny, too. Mr. Bridgman’s “Court
Calendar” is a decidinglv amusing con-
ceit. The helpful series of Public School
cookery articles treat this time ot “mark-
eting,” with diagrams ot the various
“cuts" of beet. The serials, “Five Little
Peppers Midway,” by Margaret Sidney,
and “David Vane and David Crane," by
J. T. Trowbridge, are Jolly reading. The
index page shows a list of over thirty dif-
ferent contributors to this number, and
fitty illustrations. The publishers, 0.

A 1HETEEUTH OEFTURY HERO.
The Side-Show Ticket Seller aad His
Dauttlaas Peraevaraaoa.
, How devout we are in glorifying
the intellectual heroes of the past,
but how oblivious and inconsiderate
of the shining merits of our own
heroes. Erasmus by his lonely
lamp, Pascal upon his restless bed,
Mirabeau in the French tribune,
Galileo in hia cell, Sidney on the
scaffold—these and such' as these are
the idols to which our hero-wor-
shiping senses bow, while the
grander hero of every-day life passes
us upon the street unrecognized and
unnoticed. If it be noble and heroic
to struggle long and grandly for a
great reward, how much more so
should it be to labor with the same
singleness for a small one t Bruce,
with his noble perseverance and
dauntless determination to regain the
Scottish crown is a legitimate ob-
ject for our admiration, but how
long would Bruce have struggled
fruitlessly to sell a ticket to a 35-
cent side show ?
Only about fifteen minutes.
And yet, but a tew days ago we
had right here in our midst a man
who has been trying, unavailingly,
to accomplish this humble feat for
years, yet who has never grown dis-
couraged or lost his interest in the
task. At almost any hour during
the week that has fled he might have
been seen walking back and forth in
front of a couple of painted curtains
suspended in front of the old Marsh
shoe store, his large shoes unlaced
to give air to his aching feet, a plug
hat upon hia head, his hands full of
pictorial hangers and an uncertain
light in his eye, while he thus ad-
dressed the awning posts that rose
in solemn silence before him:
“Get tickeets and paws ene. A
collossal aggregation of living won-
ders awaits you upon the eneside.
A mastodon, a collossus, a monster
in human form. A wild African
Congo Indian, a man-eating canni-
bal preence—alive and living and
you can walk under his arm like
cheeldren. That is wh-Ay he is a
cur-yosity, that is wh-Ay we have him
’ere; because he is the tallest human
being that the world has ever seen
tor the paw»t 2000 years. You have
all heard of mermaids, but none of
you have ever seen one. A paragon
of be-yufy, a marvel ol loveliness,
an unparagoned wonder and mys-
tery, hawf lady, hawf feesh upon the
eneside. See Edison’s marvelous
science and mechanical skeel a pho-
nograph einvented by Charles
Townsend Edison the world re-
nowned einventor oi electricity. A
machine that laughs, sings, talks,
whistles, plays upon any instrument
and talks to you ein any known lan-
guage.”
At about this point he was gener-
ally seised with a slight attack ot
emotional insanity, and turning
wildly to the canvas on which a 19-
foot Senagambian was depicted as
in the act of tearing the arms out of
an S-inch sailor, he would exclaim,
in a voice that splintered the awning
and soured the condensed milk on
John Bennett's shelves:
“A nsctual scene on the voyage—
the African Congo Giant tearing a
sailor leem from leem.”
Once we passed and found him
holding forth to an audience. Two
black boys, about thirteen years old,
and a very small white one with the
dirt of pre-historic ages clinging
about his face and a chew of tobacco
in his left cheek, several sizes larger
than the boy, had stopped and were
regarding him with that admiration
which extreme youth instinctively
feels for greatness. He seemed to
feel complimented by their attention
for he was divulging to* them a fact
that we had never heard him commu-
nicate to the awning posts. He was
saying:
“Doctor Chambers, the world re-
nowned traveler and daemond
mayner, while in Baden-Baden, that
great spowting and watering place,
won from Preence Blong the enorm
ous wajah of fifteen thousand
pounds. The preence wajahed that
this African giant, this Congo Can-
nibal preence could not make the
enommus span of nayne feet which
he deed, making the enommus span
of nayne feet, four eenches and a
quattah. Seence then he has been
exhibbited in all the large seateys
of Europe and America, has ap-
peared before all the crowned heads
ot the world and eas upon the ene-
side to-day.” Then approaching
his audience and handing ‘each a
streamer, “Get tickeets, pawse ene
and convince yourselves.”
“What does she cost, mister,”
asked the chew of tobacco with the
boy attached.
“Ten cents tor boys.”
“Gut any bills to pass?”
“No, Johnny, no bills.”
The chew of tobacco turned sadly
away and the boy despondently fol-
lowed it down street while the voice
of the hero showman rang out upon
the oppressive stillness with the same
old confident tone: “Get tickeets
and pawse ene—Dr. Chambers, the
great African traveler and daymond
mayner, is about to give a lecture
upon the peculiar habeets and cus-
toms of this gigantic tribe of African
Congo cannibals.”
At this juncture the gTeat African
traveler and diamond miner came
out of the Cabinet, where he had
been playing dominoes for the beer,
and, haying held a brief consultation
with the hero, proceeded across to
the Gate City Jewelry store to see
what time it was and did not return.
As we passed on up street we left
the persevering showman still in
animated conversation with himself
and urging the awning posts to get
“tickeets and pawae upon the ene-
side” thereby convincing themselves
that he was “alive and living and
nine feet high.”
Saturday night be was still there,
pacing back and forth beneath a
gasoline torch whose lurid glare lent
an added emphasis to the loneliness
that reigned around. The people
who passed bv horridly upon the
other side of the street could see
that his feet were swollen much
larger than usual and that his eyes
had a fatigued and careworn expres-
sion ; but as be addressed the listen-
ing earth his voice had all the old-
time ring and professional accentua-
tion.
“The lawst oppotunitee-aw, eine
your seaty, of seeing this monster in
human form. ' Were he no taller
than you or I-yah, he would steel be
a CMT-yosity, for he is a Congo can-
nibal preence, an African, Indian
giant. But be is a mastodan, a
monster, and the tallest man in your
seaty can walk under his arm like a
child. \ ou have all seen Colonel
Goshon, Col. Bates, and Chang, the
Chinese Giant. They are but chil-
dren (double forte). That’s why-ah
we have him ere, (forte) that’s why-
ah he is a cur-yosity, (mezzo forte)
because be is the tallest human be-
ing (piano) that tfie world has ever
seen (double piano) for the pawst
2000 years. Lawst oppo-tunitee-ah
(going into Brown & Hoerr’s, tak-
ing a drink and returning to the side-
walk) of seeing in your seaty (cross-
ing the street to see what time it is
and returning to his post) the tallest
human being.”
Sunday he struck his painted ban-
ners and “colosseal aggregation of
living wonders” and departed for
some other field where he is now en-
acting the same thankless exode
that he did here. And so he will
keep on until he meets with death,
and when he has passed over to the
great majority and has had a week
to study the geography of the coun-
try he will engage the services of
Briareas and Goliath and John Cal-
vin and the Siamese Twins, will
paint a big banner showing Goliath
in the act of tearing David apart and
casting his quivering remains about
over the land of Goshen, and having
housed up his “colosseal aggrega-
tion” in a vacant store in the city of
Parnassus, he will trudge back and
forth under a brimstone lamp while
Satan’s kingdom trembles to its cen-
ter with the cry, “That's why-ah
we have him ere, that’s why-ah he
eas a cur-yosity. Because he eas
the tallest human being that shoel
has ever seen for the past two mil-
lion years.”

A REPORTER’S REPROBAOY.
W. T. Benton, of the Sherman
Morning Herald, an account of
whose discomfiture at the hands of
Candy Johnson, a colored man of
that city appeared in last week’s
Gazetteer, seems to have, in the
course of an eventful career, been
guilty of worse things than seeking
illicit intimacy with colored men’s
wives. Owing to the generous ad-
vertisement given the above incident
by “Old Candy,” or other causes
that the Gazetteer wots not of,
Mr. Benton left Sherman some time
the latter part of week before last,
and the Herald, of which paper he
had been city editor since the put
ting out of the morning edition, be-
gan to make inquiries about him
These resulted in the discovery of
the following disclosures which are
said to be fact^: A Mr. J. F
Woolsey, a citizen of Sherman,
stated that he had known Benton in
Rolla, Phelps county, Mo., where
he was a school teacher under the
name of Cox. He stated that Cox
was well educated and considered ot
excellent moral character. He was
still a resident of Rolla when Mr.
Woolsey left that place in 18S3, anc
had, about a year previous, married
a Miss Van Warner, a lady of good
family. From other sources it was
learned that Benton came to Sher-
man about four or five years ago
under the name of LaBell. He had
a woman with him, whom he saic
was his v/ife. While he was ped-
dling Williamson’s system of dress
cutting, his supposed wife was em-
ployed by a millinery house (since
suspended) in that city. The wo-'
man mysteriously disappeared, and
LaBell secured employment on the
Sherman Daily Democrat. In De-
cember, 1SS5, a man, giving his
name as Beli, came to Denison can-
vassing for a dressmaking chart, ac-
companied by a woman whom he
represented as his wife. Shortly
after Bell’s arrival in the city one T.
C. Moore, of Little Rock, appeared
upon the scene and claiming Bell’s
companion as his wife had Bell ar
rested for abduction. To Moore
and his wife Bell had been known as
R. H. Lawson. For this little es-
capade he was convicted and served
out his term in the county jail. After
this Lawson disappeared, but re
appeared about a year later as W
T. Benton, city editor on the Sher
man Democrat, a position he filled
for upwards of two years. He was
married in Sherman to a Miss
Neatherton, and, besides, is said to
have a wife in Little Rock, with
four children, and many others in
other parts of the country.

popularity and real worth of these

placed them in the front ranks ot all

the character of the many testi-

guarantee of the real worth and
merit of the remedies. Don’t fail
to call and get a bottle. Read the
following testimonials:
Gainesville, Texas, April 2, 1888.—Da.
Thurmond; I cannot find words to ex-
press my gratitude for what your wonder-
ful Lone Star Blood Svrup has done for
me. I have been suffering for nearly two
years with rheumatism in my hlpa, and it
then run down in my legs and pained me
so bad I could not walk. My son got tor
me two bottles of your valuable medicine
and I took it according to directions and
I now feel scarcely anv pain and I believe
one more bottle will entirely cure me.
Please send me one more bottle. Yours
truly, Elizabeth Sellars.
Having been troubled for many years
with Catarrh of a stubborn character,
which manifeated itself both in the bron-
chial tubes and urinary organs, success-
fully resisting the best medical skill, I
was induced to try Dr. Thurmond’s Ca-
tarrh Cure, which has, upon a short trial,
produced most beneficial results, and I
can heartily recommend It to all who tuf-
er from this most disagreeable malady.
Wm. J Bassett,
Pastor, Dixon Street M. E. Church,
Gainesville, Texas.
Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown, present
United States Senator from Georgia
writes:—Dr. W. J. Thurmond, Gaines-
ville, Texas.—Dear Sir: I have for the
last month been using your Catarrh
remedy, and I think I have derived some
benefit from it. I herewith send you $5
and ask that you send me $5 worth ot the
medicine. Very truly,
Joseph E. Brown.
