This is to certify that I have
tried Hall's Great Discovery for
kidney and bladder troubles and
find It has given me great benefit.
For two months or more I
troubled with a severe pain in m\
hips, caused from kidney trouble
which unfitted me for any kind o
physical labor. I could not lift
anything without pain aad soim
times it lasted me for severa
days. After taking Hall's Orea1
Discovery I have helped to hau:
and level over one hundred loadF
of gravel and dirt on my premi-
ses in the city of Gainesville with-
out suffering the least bit of id-
convenience, all of which I as-
cribe to the benefits derived from
the beoeficial effects of Hall's
Great Discovery, and I cheerfully
recommend it to all who are suf-
fering from similar afflictions.

"Too are wto li yon* own genera-
tion." aaya be, with a pawing smile,
"and aoond in yoor proverb*."
"Ton don't t-xpreaa much regret at
all event*,'' aaya abe, with a shrill laugh.
"I am wiae in this, at least, that I don't
oara about dividing my husband's af-
fection with another. That little girl
to whom yon give your whole time
Will no doubt be glad to ah are with
you your £600 a year."
Thia ia unbearable.
"If yon allude to Miaa Dene," aaya
he quietly, though hia face i8 pale and
hia eyea flashing, "I do not think ahe
gives her entire thoughts to money.
Five hundred pounda a gear, however,
would, I acknowledge, be but a poor
thing to lay at ber feet. I am glad,
therefore, that it ia now in my power to
offer her £14,000."
"What!" aaya Miaa Morland. She
takes a atep forward. Dismay, oonater-
nation, discomfiture, are all largely
knit on ber astonished face.
"Lord Fnruham died at 10 o'clock
laat night. Contrary to my expectations
he has left ine every penny he possessed."
He bows and moves toward the door.
"Htay—one momont," gasps Miss
Morland. If she lias even one small
grain of hope left that she may still be
Lady Farnham, his next Words destroy
it.
"You must pardon me," says he. "I
have an appointment with Miss Dene.
She has not yet heard my news. Ah,
Lord Totteuham," to that carefully pre-
served old beau as he most opportunely
enters the room, "permit me to con-
gratulate you. Miss Morland has just
informed me of your engagement to her.
I feel she has done wisely indeed. With
much humility I confess myself very
much the worse man of the two!"
He laughs aud hurries away to find
Dorothy wnitiug for liiin in that little
sacred spot he had uumed Arcadia yes-
terday. She rises as he comes toward
her and turns so deadly white that he
ia afraid she is going to faint.
"It is all right!" cries he joyously,
to reassure her. A little cry escapes ber.
She would have gone to him, bnt her
limbs refuse to obey her, and if ho had
not caught her in his arms sho would
have fallen. There is no restorative
power- so effectual as a lover's kiss.
Dorothy is presently her charming self
again.
"Ob, how did it happen?" crics she
rapturously. "I prayed for it all lfst
night, but somehow I never had much
hope. Sho Las given you up, then?
Really?"
"Really uuil truly."
"Oh, how could she?" leaning back
from him to gaze into his dear face, the
handsomest in the world to her.
"Well, it appears she could quite
easily," says he, with a hearty laugh.
"You may think mc good to look at,
but when compared with such a youth
ful Adonis as my Lord Tottenham, even
you must allow that I ought to take a
back seat."
"Do you mean to tell me," with
growing indignation, "that sha has
given you up tot Lord Tottenham?"
"Even so, my good child. "
"Pouf! She's a fool. She's not worth
wasting words upon," says Miss Dene,
with scornful couviction.
"That's what I think. Let's talk c(
ourselves," says he.
"Oh, as for that," says she, turning
suddenly very dismal aud trying to give
her head the properly dejected droop,
"I dare say you will be sorry about all
this later on. I have not been a good
friend to you," with a heavy sigh,
"and that's the truth."
"What am I going to he sorry about?"
"You know. You raid yesterday that
it would be dreadful to live on £Z00 a
year."
"So it would with Miss Morland—
not with you."
"Ah! That is all very well now. But
I said something about it to father lart
week—not about you aud rue, yon know,
but about things generally—and ho said
that when people without money mar-
ried other people without nicuey it was
madness." This rather involved sen-
tence she gives forth with great solem-
nity.
"What a lot he said!" exclaims Lord
Farnham, with affected admiration.
"But, after all, it seems lo me he didn't
know what he was talking about. The
real question is, Dorothy, whether you
could be happy with me, even though
we both were poor."
"Oh, darling, what a horrid question!
Don't you know that if I had £10,000 a
year"—this seems to be the utmost
height of her ambition—"and not you, I
should be the most wretched girl alive?"
"Well, you shall have more than that
with me,"cries he, folding his arms
round her with a tender access of pas-
sion, and with his soul foil of unspoken
gratitude for this loving heart that has
been giveu bim to perfect his life.
Then he tells her all.

Original Portrait* of Washington.
There are at least 40 original por-
traits of Washington known to have
been painted from life, with a score
more claiming like distinction. To
Charles Willson Peale belongs the honor
of having painted Washington from life
a greater number of times than any
other artist. He had not less than 14
different sittings from Washington, if
we can accept the numeration giveu by
his son Rembrandt. In May, 1772, while
Washington was still a Virginia colonel,
be wrote from Mount Vernon, "Inclina-
tion having yielded to importunity, I am
now, coutrary to all expectation, nnder
the hauda of Mr. Peale, but in so grave,
so sullen, a mood and now and then un-
der the influence of Morpheus when
some critical atrokes are making that I
fancy the skill of this gentleman's pen-
cil will be put to it in describing to the
world what manner of man I am." In
September, 1793, when Washington was
in his second term as president of the
United States, Stuart, meeting Mrs.
Washington, urged ber to hasten to ber
husband's protection, as he had just left
him where they were "Pealing him on
the right side and on the left, behind
and before." The allusion in this jest
of Stuart's was to the fact that Charles
Willson Peale, bis younger brother
James and his sons, Rembrandt and
Raphael, were each availing themselves
of this Washington's last sitting to de-
lineate his features. Between these two,
so widely separated in time, Peale un-
questionably secured numerous otter
sittings.—Ob*""1*# Ow>ry Hart in Mc-

as a re lie. It was a oue 6tory building
of two very small rooms, with an out-
sido chimney at one end, 111 tho manner
of southern cottages. In one room tho
family lived in daytime, cooking at the
big fireplace aud eating at a pine table.
Iu the other room they slept.
It was almost as humble

indeed a beautiful place.
door the Ohio river curved away ittOj
blue distance, and behind it rose hills
covered with tall woods of oak aud wal-
nut aud ash. At that time the river was
the great highway, and over its steel
bright surface tho stern wheel steamers
Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton plied
amid many fiatboats, lika immense
swans surrounded by awkward water
bu^s.
At this time Point Pleasant had hopes
of being a metropolis. It was deceived.
It is today a very small village, at whose
wharf enly an occasional steamer con-
descends to top. In 1820 it contained
among other industries a tannery, and j Wardrobe,
the foreman of this tannery, an ambi-'
tions, stalwart young fellow, called
Jesse Grant, had been in business for
himself some years before at Ravenna
and was looking for a chance to begin
again. Sickness had broken up his in-
dustry and had swept away his savings
—savings which represented the most
unremitting toil aud the most rigorous
self denial—but he was once more accu-
mulating money and was nearly ready
for a second venture.—Hamlin Garland
in McClcro's.
svrered'C'ctrrau, ana then he told how he
attended a Loudon debating society
where his failures were so many and
mortifying that his friends despaired of
his ever becoming a speaker.
Though unwilling to accept their
judgment, he for awhile remained si-
lent at the debates. Some oue in a speech
referred to him as "Orator Mum." That
nettled him, and he again risked bis
own sense of shame and the ridicule of
opponents. He spoke and failed, spoko
and failed. His friends cried, "Hear,
hear!" though there was nothing to
hear, but he persevered until the mem-
bers of the debating club listened with
pleasure to his speeches.
It ia an instructive illustration of the
difference between forensic and parlia-
, meutary oratory that Curran never di«-
i tiuguished himself in the Irish house cf
commons. Ersbino also failed in parlia-
ment, though ho had a reputation as the
most elcquent advocate at the bar.—
Youth's Companion.
Cincernlnj; the Mglitcap.
The nightcaps almost universally worn
some 25 years ago are now quite as uni-
"ersally discarded. There is a diversity
of opinion in regard to the wisdom of
tiiij change. While some doctors assert
that there is much less baldness since
they were abandoned, others declare
with eqnal fervor that neuralgia and
catarrh arc much more common since
the nightcap was banished from the
Strlring to Speak.
Perhaps do one who ever became an
eloquent orator was so handicapped
with natural dcfects as John Philpot
Curran, the Irish advocate. His voice
was shrill, aud be spoke in a stumbling
brogue, so that be was called "Stutter-
ing Jack Curran." His awkward man-
ner and extravagant, meaningless ges-
tures provoked laughter.
Yet be overcame all these impedi-
ments by a system of self discipline
which included close application, re-
peated trials and patient labor. His
shrill voice he changed into a flexible,
modnlated organ; his ennnciation be-
came deliberate and distinct; his action
free, graceful and expressive, and be ac-
quired the art of thinking ou bis legs.

We havo a fair idea, theoretically at
least, what was Greek music, but no
practical knowledge. Some fragments
of written music have been fouud, nota-
bly a hymn supposably of the year 150
A. D. In The Forum J. Gennadius tells
1 of the more recent discovery made among
the ruins of the treasury of the Atheni-
ans, due to French explorations:
The musical notation on all these in-
scriptions is expressed by the letters of
the Greek alphabet, which, when mark-
ed upright, inverted or tilted forward,
over the syllables of the text, indicate
the various notes. Two sets of such mu-
sical symbols were in use with the
Greeks—the one was vocal and is em-
ployed in the first, the other instru-
mental and figures in the second, of the
two hymns to Apollo. As, however, the
instrumental accompaniment , would
hardly have been noted at the sacrifice
of tbe song itself we must infer that not
only tbe voices sang in unison, but that,
in this instanoe at least, instruments
and voices were in unison. Tbe hymn
discovered and deciphered by tbe de-
scendants of tbe invaders, wboaediaoom-
fiture it celebrated, was, for tbe first
time after a lapse of nearly IS centuries,
again sung on March S7,-1894, before tbe
king of tbe Hellenes, at Athens, wbere
it had been originally composed.

HER PEOPLE.
Texas is :t cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the ''race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
LAWB.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
HOMESTEAD LAWS
Are the most liberal, aud her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
fomd in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful "extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried!
adults, male and female.
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorum tax
is now 20 cents on the 9100, and
our state school tax is 18 cents
on the 9100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the 9100.
LAND.
Improved lands are worth from
$10 to $50 per acre.
Onr lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
EOADS.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantia}
bridges span all streams.
EDUCATION.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city c
Gainesville—eighty-six while au<
four colored. These schools
on an average of six taonlli
year.
uSec. 50.—The homestead
family shall be and is hereby p:<
tected from forced sale for pa\
ment of all debts except for th
purchase of money, the taxes dr.
thereon, or for work and matcri;:
used in constructing improve
ments thereon, and in this las
case only when the work and ma
terial are contracted for in writ-
tang, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as if-
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wile; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any eon*
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Bee. 51.The homestead n?t in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in %dty, town or

COOKE COUNTY.
Cooke is one of the northern tier
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory on
the north by Red river.
. It is a splendid farming section
and is also well adapted to stock-
raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run- ■ .
ai. u si. , , i ever be subject
nmg through it, on which can be : m
found excellent timber and water
Eed river borders the county on
he north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
It now has a population of per-
haps 30,000.
RAILBOADS.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad runs through the county
from east to west and the great
Santa Fe system runs through
fron north to sooth.
A road is surveyed and will soon
be built from Gainesville north-
east to the coal mines at McAlee
ter, I. T.
GAINESVILLE,
The county site, is located on the
Elm fork of the Trinity, six miles
south of Bed river. It has a popu-
lation of about 10,000, and is a
busy, hustling, growing place. It
has eleven churches, six splendid
brick school houses, two good
flooring mills, an ice factory, an
iron foundry, the shops of the
Santa Fe railroad, a cotton com-
i, a broom factory, soap fac-
pressed brick works turning
out splendid brick, four
newspapers, three banks with a
capital and-surplus of $650,000,
and various other enterprises.
It is a live place and men with
money or muscle can do no better
than to cast their lots here.
THE WAGES
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Scction 28 of Art. 16 of the con-
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
to garnishment.'*
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
, sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
| books belonging to any trade or
| profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and all current
wages for personal services
To all single persons are re-
served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books be-
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
current wages for personal ser-
vices."
Wherever the people's homes
are safe there will patriots be
found. Hence tramps aad beggars
are not so common among ns as ia
other countries.
