Hon. Jo Bailey his bought
SO acres in kentucky, in part
nership with a friend, to estab
lish a horse farm. Mr. Bailey
says he “has a theory that just
as fine horses can be raised in
North Texas as in Kentukky,
and we are going to start a
farm in each place. By conduct
ing our breeding operations in
both places we will have excep
tional opportunitiesfor compar
ing their merits foi horse rais
ing purposes, and I expect to
demonstrate my theory.” Out
of this enterprise came the sto
ry that Mr. Bailey was about to
abandon Texas and settle in
Kentucky, a thing he never
dreamed of doing.
Sherry, the New York cater
er, is suing Dr. Joseph Bissell
for $675.85. alleged to be due
for a dinner tor twenty people
given at Elberton, N. J. The
itemized bill is as follows:
Twenty dinners, $240; bouton
nieres and Howers, $75; music
$149; 36 quarts of champagne,
$144 ; mineral waters, 50 quarts,

50 cents ; 3 boxes of Egyptian
cigarettes, 80 cents, and express

of tare, if Sherry furnished all
the wine used, is open to criti

point.
Austrian court circles are per
tubed over the announcement
that Countess Marie Larisch will
relate her experiences in
a book to be published before
Christmas, The Countess was
once the favorite niece of the
late Empress Elizabeth, and was
popular at court, but fell into
disfavor. She was divorced last
spring and married an opera
singer, Herr Brucks Every
body is worried over what she
may say in her bock,
First Sergt. J, E. Miller, of
Capron’s battery, carries seven
Spanish bullets in his body, and
has seen his three brothers kill

shot in Cuba.
Mr. Hanna has calculated
that it will cost the republicans
$2 000,000 to elect the next
house of representatives. Con
tributors to the slush fund will
possibly get promises of lucra

nies.”
No wonder the French detest
the memory of Bismarck. He
said once in an interview: “Take
away from the Frenchman his
cook, his tailor and his laundress
and you will find a red Indian.”

It is claimed that it will cost
Spain $ 16,000,000 to leave Cuba
—and Spain has no money,
credit or desire to cast “The
Pearl of the Antilles” before the
Yankee pigs.
It does seem that as old and
foxy a politician as Matt Quay
ought to have been content to
shake the plum tree by himself
without asking others to do it 1
for him.

It is said that tbs Spanish Peace
Commission Hrs are uow appealing!
for relief from the conditions laid
down in the protocol, on ths

assume the Cuban debt on the

The newspaper that reaches the
people in the quiet of iheir homes,
where plain facts can best appeal
to the intellect, is by far the most

The publisher of a country

because his paper was a failure.
His act reveals the cause of fail
ure. The man who has not the grit
to face the possibility of failure
has not sufficient grit to make a
successful newspaper.

A steamboat company which
operates boats on one of the Bava
rian lakes has introduced a curi
ous innovation in the matter of
children’s fares, which are in fu»
ture to be regu'aced by measure.
Children under 60 aentimetera in
height are to go free, children
measuring over 60 and under 130
centimeters must pay half prieo.
Preapmabiy thia regulation has
been introduced because parents,
however capable of eheating as re
gards their offsprings age, cannot
deceive the company in regard to
their height.
