We are given an
ahotr by the commission
in this point, and with all the prer*
quisites mentioned above in Cur favor,
we can not be called an enthusiast for
saying thut Sherman has a reasonable
right to twpeot the location of the
State Orphaos' Home if she will come
up to tbe mark and do ber duty
in the way of moderate, bnt comrucn
stirate subsidy, We know that some
people will satisfy themselves with
the argument that as it is a state in-
stitution it will be located somewhere
without a price from the people of
any section, all alike being tux payers
and entitled to the benefits of state
expenditures. That kind of hope
would do if we knew no
one would, in addition to offer
ing facilities perhaps as good as
our own put up a handsome induce
ment otherwise, but on the other
band we know tbat pecuniary offers
will be made, and in no niggardly
amount either. We will no doubt bo
met in this appeal to the people by
the question, "Wbat good will it be
to us?" Tbe answer is simply, "A
great deal I " Tbis institution was
created by the Twentieth legislature
of tbe state when tbe members were
actuated by the noblest sentiment
that found expression during all the
long and tedious session; it was when
the stern and cruel laws were luid
aside; it was when the disputed land
issues wore quiet, it was
after tbe senatorial storm bad
died away it oaiue like
burst of sunlight through
clouds of worry and dissection. Men
voted for tho bill that created an any
lum for the waifs of Te**s,feeli'jg that
when they did they were providing
homes for children " who perhaps
would havo had at some time a homo
as cheerful and happy as that of their
own dear ouos now waiting and
counting the days that would
bring "papa" back from Austin.
TbiB is no < home for tho
blind, this is no place for
those to whom Providence has
denied the power of speech and hear
ing, this is no havon of security for
tbose who havo last their intellect. It
is not a gloomy bastilo where men in
prison garb wear away their lives, and
neither is it the home for tho vicious
youth of our State. It is where the
cbildron of Texas, yes, those to whom
the hand of God has given for a pro
tector tho Stato of Texas. They aro
not blind, they are not mutes, they
are not doaf, thoy aro not crazed,they
are not fit inmates of our prisons and
reformatory, but thoy are instead the
very promiso of our land. Tbis
home will shelter them from
the storms and feed and clothe
them, but is that all ? no;
it will be to them a guardian that will
take them from influences which their
misfortune might otherwise havo sub
jeoted them to, and will let thera gain
their first impressions under kind
hands and from honest lips instead.
What city is there that would not be
proud of the opportunity to say, when
pointing at tho raagnificieut home,
"There stands tho place whero Texas
shelters her orphans, and a home
that eho placed among a people in
whose morality and integrity she had
confidence." With tbe6o facts in our
possession have we not a right to feel
glad tbat Sherman is to have tho
chance of securing it, and is it not
high time that we were up and do-
ing.

The Old Beau.
Tho old beáu is a frequenter of the
pleasant dinner-tables In town, whsre
his presence funst always be weloome.
He comes in, jaunty and well drosied,
with a flower in his button-hole, thp
latest scrap of uews froin the seat of
war upou his lips, and tbe latost bon
mot wherewith to amuse tbe oompany,
ready to be produoed the flrst opportu-
n ty. 1( he Is a bon-vant ho is always
blessod with a good appetite, and every
right-minded hostess la pleased that
her good things should be douo full
JUNtlpo to, and the knowledge that he
Is critical In waters pullnary. will only
have stimulated her efforts thut ft)l tb"*
is produced at her table should come up
to tho mark of her favored guost's
high standard of excellence. In addi-
tion, he is invariably a pleasant and t
lively talker. He understands tho art
of conversation to perfection, has a ver.
itablo Instinct as to what sub)oots are
dangerous, and whero thero are pitfalls
to avoid. lie may bo a nobody in him-
self. but ho is known to evorybody, and
what is moro, bo knows all about evory-
body else. He remembers that Mr.
A's father died In a mad-house, and
that it Is daidrablo to steer tbe frail
bark of conversation olear of g. discus-
sion of the Lunaoy Commission. ÜÓU
ther lias he torgotton that Mr. lVs sis-
ter went through the diroroo court last
snaHon, and that Mrs. Cs unole com-
mitted suicide ten years ago. so that it
would be injudicious to dwell upon any
of these topics in the prosonce of their
sorrowing relatives. In this manner

means of averting a sooial blunder or
