A PATHETIC BOEDER PUBERAL-
It was a touching sight to see
how the boys stood around the
dead body of Briggs and endeav
ored to hide their emotion and
failed. The tears ran down the
face of Arkansaw Bob like rain off
the gable and of a corn-crib, and
Ted Williams and Jim Henderson
and several more bowed their
heads, while their forms shook with
sobs they would not allow to es
cape. The boys dug a grave on
the banks of the Brazos river, and
that night as the clouds drifted
away and the moonlight fell upon
the snow-covered ground and
sparkled the ice laden limbs of the
forest trees, we laid poor Briggs
down in his narrow resting place.
The only requiem that was sung
was the roar of the turbid Brazos
as it surged along on its way to
the sea a mass sung by nature.
When the grave had been filled
Jim Henderson said: "I think we
ought to have some kind of service.
It ain't right, by a darn sight, to
go away without sayin' somethin'
over the grave any you fellows
got a Bible?" No one had a
Bible, nor had any one seen one
in a number of years. "Well,
suppose some one says a sort of
prayer?" The boys scratched their
heads, glanced at one another for
a moment, and then looked away
off into the woods. Finally some
one whispered, "Sish! Arkansaw
Bob's goin' to pray," and he did.
"0 Lord," he said, "I guess in
your opinion I'm pretty tough,
but! ain't askin' nuthin for my
self its for Briggs. He is dead
now, but was as white a man as
ever walked. He never did no
man a hurt, and he" had a heart in
him as big as a mule, and no one
as I've heard ever said a word
agin him. I don't kuow as what
I say will have much influence,
but Briggs stood well with us
down here, and although I don't
know much about his career, or
his history,, or his family, he was a
man you could bank on every
clatter, ne gave a sick Mexican
$4.50 once for medicine, and then
turned right round and nursed
him through a fever, but the in
fernal Greaser hadn't been well
more'n two days before he stole
Briggs' saddlebags. Ah! Lord,
there ain't any preacher nowhere
'round here, or we'd had him to
say something more p'inted to you
than I can say it. I never pottered
any with the Bible, and can't just
now remember a hymn song, but
I'm a man of my word I mean
what I say and Briggs, if he gets
a chance, will make as good a rec
ord in heaven as any one who ever
got there. He had away down in
his heart, something that was
square and as true as steel, and, O
Lord! you-musn'tgo back on that
kind of a man, 'cause they're too
skeerce in these parts. Amen."
The prayer was as rough as
Bob, but no more sincere, as was
evidenced by his tearful eye and
trembling lip. After the prayer
the boys ranged themselves on
one side of the grave, and, drawing
their six-shooters., fired a salute
over their dead comrade, and
while the sharp reports were still
echoing througt- the forest they
turned and left the scene.
Sore Throat
Is particularly favorable to the contrac
tion of Diphtheria. Heed the warning,
and use Daruys Prophylactic Fluid. It
at once allays the inflammation of the
throat, subdues the pain and gives per
manent relief. It promptly and effectu
ally destroys all contagion and diphthe
ritic germs. It Is a safeguard against
Diphtheria, and should be used on the
first symptoms of sore throat as a gargle.
Do not forget to take care of
the tools and farm machinery as
you cease to use them for the sea
son. They represent money and
you can not afford to let them be
ruined for want of care.

A Pew Figures.
New York, Oct. 23. Joel Er
hardt, the Republican candidate
for mayor ot New York, spent two
hours at his headquarters figuring
on the election. These are his de de
ducteons: At the election of 1886 for may
or the vote was as follews: Hew
itt, 90,552; George, 68,110; Roose
velt, 60,435. Total, 219,097.
The vote of the Republican can
didate on the state ticket, Daniels
vs. Peckham, for the court ot ap
peals in 1886 was 78,986, showing
that 18,551 Republicans voted for
Hewitt fearing the election of
George, to show that Roosevelt
would have been elected if he had
received the full Republican vote.
Deduct from Hewitt's vote 18,551
for the Republican votes he re
ceived and add them to Roosevelt,
it would have resulted as follews:
United Democratic vote for Hew
itt, 72,001; Labor vote for George,
68,110; Republican vote, if it all
had been polled, for Roosevelt,
YS.ySli. Total, 219,097. The lie
publican plurality would have been
6985.
Add to the vote of 1886 for ad
ditional registration this year, 18
per cent, the vote would stand as
follows, dividing the increase and
gains between each party propor prepor proper
tionately: County Democracy, La
bor and Tammany, 165,330; Re
publican, 93,204; total, 258,534.
Estimate the division of this vote
as follows : Coogan, 30,000; Hew
itt, 45 per cent, of the balance 60,
898; Grant 55 per cent, of the bal
ance, 74,432; Erhardt, 93,504;
total, 25S.534. On this basis Er
hardt would have a plurality of
18,772.
in addition to this Erhardt
thinks 20,000 votes may be relied
upon from independent Democrats
and laborers, who are utterly op
posed to the rule of Tammany hall.

The Greatest Power.
Journalism, as a profession, is a
creation of the last half century;
as a great profession, it is no older
than the telegraph. But to-day it
is the supreme power of the world.
Fifty yeats ago the orators ruled
America; to-day it is ruled by the
editors. This sway will become
far more absolute than any of us
can realize. See what has already
been done. We have put a news
paper into the hands of every man
who can read in the United States.
For a mere trifle the news of the
whole world is spread out before
him day after day. Can any other
human agency do as much? "What
is the ambition of the orator now?
Not to make bis speeches but to
get them published. Mr. Conk
ling and Mr. Evarts cared very
little for the andiences their voices
reached, for behind the few people
there they beheld the millions of
readers of the daily press.
