The fondest anticipation in a
woman’s life is when she is
looking forward to the com
ing of the sweet and ten
der little bundle of hu-
manity that w 11 some
day call her mother.
It is a pity that this
joyful expectancy
should ever be
clouded with
solicitude and
dread of the
OFFICIAL ORGAB CITY OF TRIPLE, of
dread ot theij

The Ride of Miss Sallie Kyle.
A DAN GETiOXTS STEP.
The New York Journal pro-
posed the abitration plan as
the most available one upon
which to settle the great strike.
In addition to that plan an ap-
peal was made to President Mc-
Kinley to interest himself in
that behalf. At a glance it
would seem the proper thing to
do, bat sober second thought
will convince most minds that
the step is a dangerous one.
As an arbitrator McKinley has
co power that does not belong
to any other citizen of the
country and ae an individual
McKinley hae never been ac-
cused of any special aptitude
along the line of peace maker.
t>iiu the danger lies in the
precedent to appeal to the head
of the nation to settle difficul-
ties not legislated apon and
therefore wholly out of his line
of business. It is to give to
the president an extra judical
Dower, to clothe him with the
functions of a dictator without
calling him dictator. It is an-
other and very dangerous step
toward centralization. When
once a people forms the habit
of looking to the head of a gov
ernment, not to execute the
taw3, not perform the rea
duties for which he was elected
but to perform an extra judicia
function, it is but another step
to clothe that head with author-
ity to enforce his arbitration
ideas. There are thousands of
men in the nation and countless
• reasons why any of them should
"be preferred to McKinley
to select a coin mission ot arbi-
trators.

, is no need
, this excess-
r ive anxiety if
, the prospective
mother will avail
glfj^Fherself of the
health - sustaining
power of Dr. Pierce’s
W Favorite Prescription
p taken early during the
expectant period.
The special organs and
nerve-centers pertaining to
aaternity are directly fortified
-nd reinforced by this wonde-
ful "Prescription.” It gives
the mother genuine, perma-
nent strength, capacity and cheerfulness.
It renders the ordeal of motherhood abso-
lutely safe and comparatively easy; insures
m
constitutional vigor.
For nearly thirty years Dr. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y. Any wo-
man may consult him either personally or by
letter free of charge, and with absolute assurance
of receiving sound, practical advice from the
highest professional authority. By enclosing
twenty-one one-cent stamps to pay the cost of
mailing only, r'-e will receive a paper-bound copy
of Dr. Pierce's thousand-page illustrated book
“The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,”
or a handsome cloth-bound copy, for thirty-one
stamps.
Mrs. Fred Hunt, of Burnt Hills, Saratoga Co.,
N. Y., says: “ T read about Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription be ng so good for a woman with
child, so I got two bottles last September, and
December 13th. Z had a twelve-pound baby girl.
When I was confined I was not sick In any way.
I did not suffer any pain, and when the child
was horn I wnlVed into another room and went
to bed. • I never had an after-pain or any other
pnln. This is the eighth child and the largest
of them all." r
Not long since while in con-
versation with.a distinguished
editor he made the remark that
he never wrote on any subject
that the sentiments expressed
therein could be construed to
be his own personal sentiments.
If called upon for his views on
any matter regarded as mooted,
lie relused to "give his yiews,
but let correspondents do the
talking. In our opinion this is
a good plan if the paper is an
organ of a party or the mouth
piece of some church denomina-
tion, for in either case the
editor could not assume to be
the party or taction, bnt where
a paper is not the mouth piece
of some class or sect, then the
editor is expected to express
his own views, and his views
are worth just as much as his
information and honesty entitle
them to be Our editorial
friend cited ae to the Loudon
Times as a model paper. We
regard the citation as being on
a par with the Amerioan girl's
choice of a broken down piece
of aristocracy There is not in
the American people more than
enough of independence with-
out aping anything from the
practice of a people content to
1 pay millions to the defunct
‘ theory of “the Divine right of
Kings” and supply that figure

A. man is said to be foolish
who complains of what he can
change and foolish if he com-
plains of wbat lie can’t change,
therefore he i- foolish who com-

Whose fault is it if people

It would have been funny to
have lived in the days of
Aesop, the great writer ot
fables and allegories, that is it
would have been if the people
that lived then were like the
people that live now. When
he wrote the fable of the crain
and the wolf, the little fellows
in the community would have
said, “wonder who editor Aesop
has been doing a Kindness to
and got his head snapped?”
And when he wrote the fable of
the fox and the grapes, the lit-
tle fellows would again say,
“who do you suppose Aesop is
hitting at now? He’s been after
something and failed to get it.”
But it is a fact that the people
in the days of Aesop recognized
the principle personated in the
fable and had too much sense
to think Aesop had been in all
the predicaments set forth in
his fables.
How an idea goes to seed. A
few years ago the idea of a
commission for the settlement
of unsatisfactory railroad rates
in the |different states was fut
into practical working order.
This was followed by stale
commissions, thiB by labor
commissions until now nothing
can be done that has not first
been decreed by a commission.
It’s nothing, if not proof that
the average man never has but
one idea in his head.
You’ve read of the ride of Jennie MoNeal,
The story, per chance, has grown old;
But listen to me while 1 reveal
The ride of a lady bold.
I do not write for glory or fame,
’Tis only the time to while;
Nor do I care to inscribe my name
To this wonderful ride of Miss Sallie Kyle.
We are camping in a beautiful spot
On dear old Salado ground,
While lounging in hammock and cot,
Sweet quiet and rest we found—
Rest and peace from heaven, as it were;
But ’twas only for a little while.
Soon our camp was all astir,
O’er the ride of this Miss Sallie Kyle.
*?
Among our crowd was a man who did own
A beautiful steed whose eyes flashed fire,
And to ride this steed ’twas clearly shown
That our Sallie had a great desire.
She’s a brave little girl, ’tho her term be frail,
And delights to perform a daring deed.
Our prayers and pleadings were of no avail,
For she mounted this furious steed.
The saddle was made for men to ride,
But of this she had nothing to say.
We laughed at the stirrups on either side,
As she joyfully road away.
She looked quite well, this daring girl,
With her jaunty cap pulled over her eves;
We shouted, “be careful!” her lips did curl,
She heeded not our warning cries.
On, on she road, the pebles flew,
Her face bore an expression of dread,
For wild and fierce the animal grew,
As he snorted and dashed ahead.
The frightened girl pulled on the reins
With all her strength and soul,
And then cold blood ran through her veins,
The horse she could not control.
At last she jumped, her life to save,
She soon was struggling on the ground,
When a handsome youth, both noble and brave,
Came to rescue the girl he had found.
When Sallie came home, what a sight to behold!
Her face was all reeking with gore.
We were amazed to find ’twas our rider, bold,
Whom we determined to let ride no more.
We shouted alound: “Call Doctor Law!”
The words were hurriedly spoken,
The Doctor came and soon we saw
That Sallie had no bones broken.
He dressed her wound, the Doctor did,
And then to our delight,
In a most encouraging way he said:
“Now the young lady’s all right.''
And sure enough she’s getting well
As rapidly as could be expected,
And to come to our camp, one glance would tell,
That our rider has not been neglected.
Dear friends I now have written j
In my own original style,
That which to us will ne’er be forgotten,
The ride of Miss Sallie Kyle.

It is said that Joe Bailey has
done himself proud agaiD in
his anti-Dingley tariff. Joe
may always be relied on when
it comes to making a good
speech, but he does not always
act like a Solon.
Congressman Ball of the first
district seems to have touched
a responsive chord in his
maiden effort. It’s a fine thing
to be able to reproduce the rain-
bow and paint the evening sun-
set, but experience has taught
a suffering people that there is
less in such speeches than in
the foam on the Niagara. They
may furnish fine reading for
the people, bat they are always
after the feast.

There is one woman silly
euough to think Rounder has

gone hog wild about her.
Wouldn’t Shakespear have
had lots of fan finding his Des-
demona and Shylock, et cetera?
People who read such things
and really imagine that he had
some individual in his eye
when he wrote such things, lose
all there is in the article.

to call on the higher authorities

Our Noble Confederate Soldiers.
1 am proud to be able to say I
aui a daughter of one of you. When
I was notified that I hud been chosen
Sponsor for your Bell County Ex-
Confederate Association, 1 thought
1 had receiyed the greatest honor
that could be coufered upon an ex-
confederate’s daughter; and to-day
I feel doubly honored in being per-
mitted to be among you and hear
our owu Texas heroes tell of the
noble deeds of our living and dead
Confederate soldiers.
For souls more daring, resolute,
and brave never won a world’s ap-
plause, than those who HU the graves
of those who died for the lost cause.
I recognize among you some that
were with us at Nashville. How I
wish every one of you could have
witnessed the meeting of those dear,
old gray haired men. From Virginia,
South Corolina, Arkansaw, and
Tennessee, drilled trooDS of the
original Confederate Army paraded
the streets of Nashyille daily, march-
ing to our own loved Southern airs:
Dixie, Bonny Blue Flag and Mary-
land; played as of old by a single
lifer. Cheer on cheer rang out as
they passed and the head of every
man was made bare in reverence to
those noble living heroes of the
“Lost Cause.” Never will I forget
the addresses made before that vast
assembly oi veterans, and foremost
among the speakers were those from
our “Lone Star” State, Texas.
Shouts rent the air as our owu ex-
senator Reagan, the only
of the Davis Cabinet,
answer to his name. The
Joe Eagle of Houston told
his own brilliant style of the Cause,
Fight and End of that bloodiest of
wars: “The war between the States."
He paid a noble tribute to every
Confederate soldier, and in almost
hushed whispers spoke of our loyed
Jackson, and that greatest command-
er the world has ever known, “Rob-
ert E, Lee.”
' Ami Oli! if in #ong or speech.
In major or minor key,

I would whisper the name ofL.ee.

foct
Where the star of Lee led ou.
Hut there came a cloud,
Out rung a nation’s knell,
Our Cause was wrapped iu'.its winding
shroud,
All fell when the great Lee fell.
The world shall vet decide, ”
In truth’s clear far off light,
That the s> ldiers who wore the gray
And died with Lee were In the right.
Tho banner you bore is Juried:
And the gray is faded too:
But In all the colors that deck the world,
Yonr gray trends not with the blue.
Go! Glory and forever guard
Our ohleftain’s hallowed dust!
And Hohor, keep eternal ward!
And fame, be this thy trust.
Go! With your bright emblazoned scroll
And tail the years to be,
That th- first of names that flash your
roll
Is ours: Great Robert Lee.
At the battle of the Wilderness,
There he stood that gTand old hero,
Great Virginia’s God like eon,
Second to none in Glory,
Equal to our Washington.
Gazing on h's line of battle,
As it wavered to and fro,
Neath the front and flank advances
Of the almost conquering foe.
Calm as was that clear May morning
Ere the furious death roar Droke
From the Iron throated war lions
douching neath the clouds of smoke.
Cool as tho’ the battle raging
Was but mimicry of fight,
Each brigade an ivory castle,
And each regiment, a kuight.
Chaffing In reserve beside him,
Two brigades of Texans lay,
All impatient for their portion
In the fortuues of the day.
Shot and Shell around them falling,
Yet unmoved they silent stand
Longing eager for the battle
Yet awaiting his command.
Suddenly he rode before them,
As the foremost lines gave way;
Raised his hat with courtly gesture
‘1 Follow me and save the day! ”
Bnt as tho’ by terror Btrloken
fitill and silent stood that troop,
Who were wout to rush to battls
With a fierce avenging whoop.
Twas bnt a single moment,
Then a murmur thro’ them ran,
Heard above the cannons roaring
As it passed from man to man.
‘‘Yon go hick and we’ll go forward,
Now the waiting leader hears,
Mixed with deep impatient sobbbing
As of Btroug men moved to tears.
Once again he gave the order
“I will lead you on the foeB.”
Then thro’ all tho line of battle
Rang a loud determined ■ ‘No! ”
Quick as thought a gallant Major,
With a firm and vice like giasp
Seized tee Genoral’a bridle, shouting:
“Forward ooys, I’ll hold him fast:
Then again the hat was lilted,
‘ ‘Sir, 1 am the oldest man.
Loobb my bridle, 1 will loud yon!
In a measured tone and calm,
Tremoliug with suppressed emotion
With intense excitement hot,
lu a quivering voice the Texan said;
"Mo. by heaven sir, you shall not!
By them swept the charging squadron
With a grand exultant cheer.
‘‘We’ll retake the Bailout, Genera I,
11 you’ll watch us iromthe roar,”
Ami they kept their word right nobly,
Sweeping every foe away;
I haye quit selling Pianos and Organs on installments, but if you
wish to buy for casn, I will duplicate anv prices you can obtain from

He had three varieties of grapes,
