WANTS TO KNOW WHY.

The Pamela Waterman, in referring to the
item in the LIGHT about 500, 900 being re-
fused for a corner lot in this city, asks
"What is it in San Antonio dirt that makes it
so valuable ~
The answer is because San Antonio is a
city. 1t is the distributing point for 900 miles
of territory West and South, and our mer-
chants have built up the trade by their liber-
atty and enterprise. When the railroads
passed beyond San Antonio a great many
croakers said the city would 60 into decline,
but instead of doing so it has rapidly in
creased, and In greater proportion than any
other city in the State as regards population,
while the price of real estate has gone to the
top with rapidity that is only equalled by the
6rmness in which owners demand and receive
the large prices indicated by the above item.
1t is not population that makes a city; it is
business and enterprise, and these two ele-
ments combined with San Antonio's many
and great natural advantages, have made il
to-day the foremost city in Texas, and will
always keep it ahead of competitors in the
great Southwest, and this, as we said before
is why $4,000 was refused for a corner lot in
the CITY.

That kiss fell 'monRst them there.
Perhaps twas for the flowers;
They touch the heart, you know;
They move with mystic powers
Hearts that are cold as snow.
Or perhaps twas for the tresses;
Surely they warmer grew;

They thrilled me through and through.

Her arms were clasped around him,
His head lay on her breast;
Sweet were the words she murmured
As she his hair careseed;
She pressed her warmest kisses
Upon his beaming face,
And death alone could sever
The love of her embrace.
She told him of her sorrows,
And of her sweetest joys;
The wedding day she longed for
OF love without alloys,
And in his ear she whisper
The fondest dialogue,
Her closest secrets told to
Her little poodle dog.
