IUId-HMdr4 Story.
Turro it a certain statesman a»
Washington who has a mustache oa
one tide of hit face and a fringe or
hair at the base of his very bald head.
Not long ago. when he was sick, it be-
came necessary for his nurse to ad-
minister some medicine to him. The
room was dark and the senator seemed
to be asleep. The nurse felt his face,
then poured the medicine—down his
back.
The senator was asleep, face down-
and the nurse mistook the fringe of
hair around the base of his bald head
for the mustache over his mouth.

W- N. U. DALLAS.—NO. 81-1002
The actual value of the farming in-
terests of Texas are adequately set
forth In a recent bulletin issued by
the U. a. Census, which states the
value of farm lands and farm property
in Texas amounted to $962,486,273.
There were 352,190 farms In the State,
covering an area of 125,807,017 acres,
or about 80 per cent of the total area
of the State. Of the total value of the
farming Interests, the farm lands
themselves were reported as worth
$595,560,802; the Improvements. $100.-
222,811; Implements and machinery,
$30,125,705. and live stock, $240,576.-
955, The value of animal products for
the year 1899 amounted to $166,970,-
711, and of crops $72,852,533. The to-
tal value of farm products for 1899
exceeds that for 1889 by $128,123,814,
or 114 per cent; but a part of this
gain is attributed to * more detailed
enumeration in 1900 than In 1890.
The bulletin further shows the aver-
age size of Texas farms to be 357
acres, but only a little more than 15
per cent of the farm land Is Improved.
The largest body of land In the State
classed as a farm embraces 450,000
acres. Of the farm lands of the Stato
66,482 acres were held by negroes.
The total value of the land In the State
devoted to live stock la $391,788,647,
and of land devoted to cotton, the next
most Important agricultural Interest,
$381,lfc8,388. The average size of the
live stock farm Is 2115 acres and of the
cotton farm, 98 acres.—Literary Bu-

TIM WILLING TO APOLOGIZE.
Wakened Hotel Gusot to Express
Regret for Noisy Argument.
T%u Donahue, the baseball catcher,
who died recently at Taunton. Mass.
figured in more good stories than sny
other player before the public. One of
Tim’s characteristic Hlbernlctsms was
perpetrated at Hot Springs. Both the
Chloago and Minneapolis twims were
training there and one night there wan
a tanning match tn "Billy' Moran's
room. Ryan, Klttrldge. "Noisy Pete”
Cassidy, and some others were argu-
ing.
The argument grew so noisy that a
traveling man In the next room beat
on the door and said:
"For heaven a sake you fellows keep
quiet. I've got to catch an early train
and want some sleep.”
After that the argument was leas up-
roarious^ and an hour later when all
was subdued, Moran, an Illiterate
joker, said to Tim:
"Tim, It s an Inferhal shame the wav
you treated that traveling man,"
"The way I treated him?" tuk<l Don-
ahue indignantly. "Why, vu fellows
were making all the noise. .
Of course the entire,crowd supported
Moran aud .Tim lost the argument.
Finally he said:
"Well, If I didn't treat him right I'm
ready to apologise," and straightway
he went into - the hall, beat on the
traveling man's door, waked lum aud
apologized.
What the traveling man said can-
not be printed.
KITCHENER IS BEAUTY PROOF.
Cannot Be Touched by Wiles of
Women, It Is Said.
A coronation visitor to Loudon from
South Africa tells an interesting
story, which Is going, the rounds of
the clubs, which serves to iHustrafe
tho prevailing Impression that Lord
Kitchener is proof against the beauty
and blandishments of all women.
When the new commander arrived
at Cape Town, a beautiful liner spy,
who was suspected of using her fas-
cinations on susceptible officers as n
means of obtaining military Intelli-
gence, tried her wiles on the grim
warrior. She secured an audience
from which, however, she retreated
presently in great haste and confu-
sion, saying to a companion who had
waited outside:
"I'll try any other man, but not
that living death's head. No wonder
he conquered In Egypt. 1 think he'd
conquer In Hades.”
The Late G. W. Childs.
Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis, the
well-known Philadelphia novelist, tells
this anecdote in the Congregationalism.
"I am reminded of some of the whim-
sical doings of the late George W.
Childs, who put so much humor and
keen perception of character Into his
kindness as to make charity a fine
art. For example, a pretty, hard-
working student won a prize at the
academy which entitled her to a year's
study in Paris. Mr. Childs sent for
her and eyed her critically. "Been In-
quiring about you, Miss Blank. Only
child of your mother and she a widow
Have Just sent her a check which will
give her a year in Paris, too. Too
many pretty art students over there
already trotting up and down the Lat
In quarter alone. Mother goes with
you. That's all. Good-day.” He had
an Innumerable acquaintance among
poor ministers and clerks and young
girls of good birth, but with no money
—the people who can Just pay their
way, but to whom the extra dollar is
a luxury. He toojr a keen delight In
startling them with undreamed of
comforts and pleasures known only to
the rich. The half-starved clergyman
had bis three months in Europe, the
clerk received a paid-up life Insurance
for his children,, tho penniless bride
was made happier for life by a pretty
trousseau, a good stock of napery and
silver to carry Into her new home.
Flattery to always dished out
Ather people—never to us.
An Explanation Requested.
The late John W. Bailey, managing
editor of the Philadelphia Record, had
a large fund of Btorles and anecdotes
concerning typesetters’ mletakes. As
is generally known, his career on
the Record began In the composing
room, from the foremanshlp of which
he was raised into the executive
editorial position he held until the
time of his recent death. One even-
ing when a member of the Record
staff was looking through his proofs
and grumbling at the arbitrary divis-
ion! of words made by the typesetters.
Mr. Bailey told of a "comp” who once
divided the word “horses,” making
a syllable of *‘hor" and driving "ses"
into the next line. The proof reader,
of course, marked "horses" to be put
undivided Into one line. When th-Y
marked proof reached the typesetter
he waxed indignant, called the atten-
tion of his fellows to what he termed
the proof reader’s Ignorance, and,
after explaining the circumstances,
declared himself as follows:
"If that ain't the wvy-to - tHrM*-
'horses,* how in the devil should It
be divided?”
