STRANGE, PERHAPSyJBUT TRUE.
Yesterday afternoon W. G. Faldry brought the Chief
a freak of nature in the shape of a chicken with seven
legs, one of which hung from its nose, while two others
wobbled from the extremities of its ears.. The remain-
ing limbs were arranged cow fashion, and the chick
cóuld use them to great advantage, swinging dumb-
bells and throwing handsprings with remarkable facil-
ity, while it sartg "Papa," "Mamma" and "Same Thing
fof Me" in a deep baritone. Nobody is expected to be-
lieve this, but the Times came 'at us three weeks ago
-with a three-legged chicken and raised its own ante to
four in its issue of the 19th instant. Something had to
be did.'—Donaldsonville (Lá.) Chief,
Our Louisiana friends are incredulous, indeed, if
they presume to doubt the truth of the Chief's story.
The facts can really not be regarded as remarkable. It
reminds as of a couple of incidents which occurred in
Mississippi not long ago, the truth of which can be
vouched for.
Mr. Brown, who for many years kept the Brown
house at Newton, Miss., and who is the author of a
history of Newton county, some twelve years ago
branded a yearling heifer, and every calf that, has been
born to the animal since has borne that identical brand
at its birth. An inquiry addressed to Mr., Brown at
Newton, inclosing postage for reply, will secure a
confirmation of this statement.
Just after the great overflows in Jones county, Mis-
sissippi, the swamps of the Tallahala river swarmed
with mosquitoes. About this time the load from a shot-
gun, accidentally discharged, tore off about..half of the
tail of one of John Shows' best milk cows. The in-
sects pestered the animal so that Mrs. Shows, in pity,
sewed an artificial tail upon the stump, Using cotton
drilling from the Wesson mills for the purpose. The
cow seemed proud of her novel caudal 'appendage and
used it-with vigorous Content in fighting mosquitoes.
In due course of time she gave birth to a healthy calf,
and since then to two more, and every- one of them has
a cotton drilling tail bearing the mark of the Wesson
mills. "

We should quarantine the Johnson Bayou rr^tsquito.
Afc the bloodthirsty wretch is not amenable to argu-
ment, we must drown him in Beaumont oil. Let the
gusher gush. '
What remarkable weather, to be sure! The good,

¡A truck grower at Jacksonville through whose patch
the members of the Texas Press association were being
shovn during their tour of diversified Texas, charged
a gentleman from Jacksonville ?$ cents for one tWPli
to be presented to one of the editot s, which proves tha*
thcic are sharks in even line of business.
For a long time we have been hearing of "govern-
ment bv injunction," and the leading papers have all
h.i' a shot at it. No human Ik umrrstands it.
There is only one fact that stands -out so that all the
people can see and realize it. and that is that they are
at the complete mercy of any judicial buzzard in Texas,
and thev> may as well take their, medicine.
e invitation extended through these columns yes-
ay to the young men of Orange to define their ideal
ng woman is being taken advantage of by quite a
iber. Some very warm papers are already being
ed in, and some of the young ladies will find in
's Tribune a description of themselves as oth-
see them. We hope the boys will be charitable to
dear creatures and not uncover their faults too
illy. The editor would likp to have all papers in
noon on Friday, in order that they may be properly
for the printer.

newspaper instinct. One distinguished ,w
man, in response to a question as to what was
touchstone of success in the managing editor
"He must have the faculty of knowing Where hell 1
break loose next, and have a reporter on the
ready to write it up." So the successful newspaper
man must be alert, of quick discrimination, progressive
and broad-gauged.

Miss Maud Willacy, the senator's beautiful daugh-
ter, will be sponsor of the governor's staff at the next

What is true of Orange in this respect is equally so
of other counties where prohibition has won. Of
course we can't prove it, but we believe those, who have
observed along this line will agree, without the formal-
ity of proof that not one of the large numbér of coun-
ties recently added to the prohibition columns could
have been carried without the help of women. If pro-
hibition is a good thing, much credit is due the women;
if not. it's a woefuily ugly account that will confront
them on the day of final reckoning.—Gatesville Mes-
senger.

ing force and iron hand compel helpless husbands,

Gentlemen, arise! - Whither are we drifting? Let us

Personal friends, says the Corpus Crony will come
to your store anyway. You want the trade of the rest
of the people. You can't reach them; but proper ad-
vertising can reach them. A successful newspaper
may not agree with you in politics, but it must have
readers or it would not be a success, and its readers
are the people whose trade you want.

Fort Smith, Ark., ha6 a spitting ordinance, says the
Austin Tribune, and the other day Judge 5*rier of the
police court violated it and Bpit a great gob'on the side-
walk. He promptly arrested himself, carried himself
to the court room, opened court, arraigned himself and
finftd himself. He settled, court adjourned and the
judge released himself from custody.

The San Antonio Express says, ''irrigate." Can't;
this is a local option town. Try Easterling, at Orange ;
he has yet a few weeks (and the price, no doubt.) of
"personal liberty."—Pleasanton Monitor.
Which we now wish to state, that we can't irrigate,
'till we do liquidate, nor go on a skate till we fix the old
slate. That's dnr sad fate.

In black type the Beaumont Journal screams, edito-
rially:
More than eight years ago the present editor of the
Journal first suggested the possibility of making news-
paper from Tupelo gum, a specie of the wood that
abounds in Southeast Texas. The suggestion was fol-
lowed by an agitation that aroused an interest in the
wocid for a limited period. The agitation resulted in
an investigation that was convincing that the wood
was suitable for .the purpose suggested, but the capital
10 build and operate the mill was not forthcoming. It
is with Some pride, therefore, that the Journal repro-
duces the following telegram from Orange which ap-
pears in this morning's
scarcely refrain from shouting "I told you so":
"The Orange paper mill is again preparing to
startle the paper making worldr the past two
weeks the superintendent of the mill has been ex-
perimenting with Tupelo gunv wood, and in con-
versation with a News man today stated that
there is no doubt that Tupelo gum wood will make
a superior quality of book and news paper, and
within a few weeks the material will be put ott the
market. This is the first time Tupelo gum has '
ever been experimented with successfully."

On the day of the local option election in Orange
the Tribune sent us a paper printed an one side only.
The inside was as blank as the face of an Orange anti
