Chief JmtlM f uller Vril- m Lore lA-llar.
A few days ago having occasion to
consult i.'s physician Chief Justice Ful
ler concluded instead of -n Jing for Lii.i
to enj'.y the hliort walk to his rcsidem-a
and perhaps a sx-ial little chat in the hit
ter's library. The door was ocncd for
Lim by a new man, who after informing
him that th.e doctor was out, but left
word he would s-hortly return, asked the
chief justice into the library to wait.
Wholly unaware of the exalted posi
tion in legal circles held by the quiet
gentleman with a kindly gleam in his
eyes, the man soon presented several
theetsof ruled paper, a stamjH-1 envel
ope, pen and inkstand ta the chief jus
tice. The chief justice look.nl up in
quiringly at the man, who, in evident
embtaTassment, stood before him hold
ing the literary tools. Bashfully trii
ping his words over each other as he
ft&ted the case, the man proff ered the re
quest that the visitor, while waiting for
the doctor's return, employ himseif in
writing a love letter, as though ardently
desiring to communicate with his sweet
heart, the poor fellow being deterred
from doing so by his lack of knowledge
in the art of penmanship.
Without hesitation, as though that
was the one business of his life, the chief
justice at once acquiesced and settled
down to the composition of what was
undoubtedly the most unique love lett"r
ever penned by his hand. Washington

The World s fair in Chicago is not a
private venture I t private gain, but a
great public undertaking for the public
giod. Tlse Stat and the nationai gov-
i erament have crritributed directly to
( this nndi rtaki::g. and the railways must
do their filial.' toward its complete snc-
' cess, both directly and indirectly. The
purpose f the f:ur is in the main educa
tional. That purpose will be defeated
unlets a very greut number cf Tisitors
are alls to -i--it Chicago, and by study

they teach. The great majority of these
visitors must go to Clii-jaja by rail, and
if the railways, by ungenerously high
fares, di-sexritrage the rLsitors who must
count each dollar of erjiense, then the
railways will have failed in their duty
toward the public The very people
who will be most benefited by visiting
the fair are those who must carefully
consider the cost.
A mutter cf f 10 or f 13 in railway fares
is nothing to rich men. but it is a great
deal to the artisans and mechanics and
farmers cf the country. Besides being
wTcng ia it?lf . such a policy would bo
shortsighted, even from a purely selfish
standpoint. In the development of the
country and its growth in wealth the
railways profit directly and quickly.
The centennial exhibition gave a great
impetus to trade and resulted in the
growth of many industries. This Colum

its complete success the railways have
an interest that the managers cannot af

Modern newspaper enterprise and mod
em telegraph facilities have greatly in
creased the cumber of mourners who
are virtually at the ledside of every
great man who is ttricken with mortal
illness. For several weeks every morn
ing newspaper offfcein the United States
had hourly bulletins from Mr. Blaine's
sickroom, and in every such offioe the
telegraph alitor, operators, printers,
pressmen, etc., had to lengthen their
nightly vigil a couple f f hours in order
to bo sure that when the end came there
should 1 no delay in announcing it to
thecoantry. The number if men whose
day's work was thus prolonged is many
thousand, and the same men have
watched by the bedside of many famous
men ia thesama way. During the whole
24 hours reporters were on watch at the
Blaine mansion from the beginning of
his illness. The English reporters who
were charged with a like duty when
Tennyson lay dying deserted their trust,
and the poet's death was not announced
till several hours after its occurrence.

A Globe-Democrat representative met
the Hon. A. L. Carter and asked him
what he thought of the proposition. The
ex-senator teid at once that be was op
posed to any division whatever. Iu Ida
opinion there was no grounds for such a
step as the resolution contemplated. His
understanding was that the Panhandle
people based their proposition principally
rion the assumed fact they were not be
ing considered in the location of the new
courts which are now under contempla
tion: that their rights were in danger,
and in order to secure what they believed
was justice to that portion of the state
they proposed to cut loose from the com
monwealth and organize a state by them
selves. Iu the first place, Mr. Carter said, there
was no prosperous country iu the world
where the courts were able to keep
abreast of the litigation, and it was a no
torious fact that the chief reason for the
enormous number of cases in tbe Texas
courts was the fact that so many lawyers
accepted briefs on contingent fees. The
Panhandle people were comparatively
strangers. They came to Tcxaa and took
advantage of the cheap lands to provide
homes for themselves and were now en
deavoring to create a state of feeling
which might develop into rerious conse

Street Hospital for Children have bit
upon a quaint and in many respects ad
mirable method of perpetuating bis

everybody concerned has been duly
celebrated sgain.
The only biot upon it was that one poor

before the performance commenced to

satisfaction to over- reader to hear that
he was more than consoled by subse

jSVpUeaia Whist For Lent.
Duplicate whist is a fafJuouable Lent
en recreation. CIuIjs are organized with
patronesses like the dancing and sewing
classes.- These clulis are not large as a
rule, 20 members being a good number,
liut they are very jolly, many of them
meeting in the mornings. There are
mixed clubs for evening play of the (for
the moment) fascinating phase of the fa
mous game. For the benefit of those
who may not yet have been initiated in
its mysteries it may be explained that
thia form of whist differs from the usual
game only ia its manner of deciding the
winner. Every quartet is provided with
stiff, black pasteboards, about 10 inches
square, on which are fitted four rubber
bands.
As a Land is played it ia retained and
slipped under the band in f rout of the
player. Then the board is laid aside and
another ia taken until the number of
boards provided, which may be from six
to a dozen or even more, is exhausted.
Then the same seta of players begin
again with their first board, playing the
hands first played by their opponents,
the scoring pair being that which makes
the most from the same hand. It is a
pretty and interesting variation of the
plain game, and the blackboards litter
many an uptown drawing room during
the penitential mornings. New York

"In Toar Neighbor a Tonraelf,
The recent effort of some conspicuously
pious men tp seize for their own coun
try's benefit a country which belongs to
another race points the moral of Herbert
Spencer's assertion tliat what men be
lieve they believe is very different from
what they really do believe. The actions
of Americans in regard to Hawaii ren
der these words of Spencer peculiarly
interesting: "A society in which the
most exalted principles of self sacrifice
for the benefit of neighbors are enunci
ated may be a society in which unscru
pulous sacrifice of alien fellow creatures
is not only tolerated, but applauded.
Along with professed anxiety to spread
these exalted principles among heathens
there may go the deliberate fastening cf
a quarrel njwn them with a view to an
nexing their territory. Men who every
Sunday have listened approvingly to in

people to an impracticable extent may
yet line themselves out to slay at the

Didn't Care for Looks.
An optimistic age would have pro
nounced her hair golden, but there was
a mole oh her neck which carried three
hair?, and as she stood in careless grace
before her mirror, with a sea green dress
half revealing the idiosyncrasies of her
figure, the most charitable judgment
would not call her pretty.
"I don't care for looks."
An expression of deep content perme
ated her countenance as she reached for
the pigment and with deft stroke sup
plied a rich red color for her lips and
cheeks.
"Looks are superficial."
With a touch of the pencil she darken
ed the lids of her eyes, and over all
spread a snowy powder which lent to
her face the delicacy of texture of satin
fabric,
"Beauty is ephemeral."
With astonishing dexterity she fasten
ed to various portions of her anatomy di
vers mechanical devices obviously con
structed to supplement the achievements
of a forgetful nature.
" Outward charms fade as melts the
morning mist before the sun."
Through the agency of a fine pair of

Bob goes on the road I frequently take

made cp my mind I'd have her w ith me

"In Philadelphia I noticed women car
rying dark green cloth bags on the street
and found that they were called 'cabas,'
and they carried most anything in tbeoi.
Well, I made one for Nellie, and she
travels across tle country now in a caba.
Pullman conductors think it's a package
of clothing or anything else they like, for
Nellie never moves. She ia perfectly
content to know that I ai close by her,
and keeps quiet rather than ride in the
baggage car. Ob, don't tell me. that dogs
