san Antonio Gossip.

The following paragraphs are clipped from
the San Antonio correspondents recent letter
TO the Fort Worth Gazette:
Ayoung ieweler, who had been robbed of a
diamond ring, intimated to certain married
lady that he suspected her Of being the thief
and got his jaws boxed by the young woman's
brother-in.law.
Our sporting season has opened and the
young ladies drive their beaux out to the quail
fields of afternoons and at early morn. They
delight in seeing the young men "take them
on the fly "
The "Mother Hubbard" craze is being
carried to the same excess here that it is
everywhere, and some OF our young ladies
may also be caught playing croquet in what
the young men call Their night gowns"

Stewards Superstition.

Workmen are busy making altera-
tons in the white marble building at
Broadway and Chambers Street, which
was once A. L. Stewards downtown dry
goods store Judge Hilton could not
get his price for it, though he had vainly
tried to sell it to the Herald and he is
having it fitted up for offices. With the
interior change other alterations will
come which will blot out the memories
of the shrewd merchant who created
fortune in its walls Stewart never had
a sign upon the building, but by next
spring it will be covered with gilded
lettering. When he first built there the
lessee OF the central lot, on which an old
two-story brick structure stood, refused
to sell out except at an exorbitant price,
so Stewart reared his white marble walls
on each side of the dingy edilice and
quietly waited until the lease had ex-
PRED. The mans trade was killed in
the meantime. 1 scldom pass the build
ing but | seem to see sitting on its front
step the old wrinkled woman who crouch
ed there in wooden hutch year in and
year out, with a basket of apples by her
side. She never seemed to be less than
ninety years OF age, and she paid no at
tention to her sales of fruit. People
wondered why Stewart tolerated her
there, and they little dreamed that he
allowed her pension. The canny Scotch
merchant, with all his hard headed craft,
was very superstitious, and believed
that her presence brought him luck.
When he moved to his uptown store the
old woman, with her crutch and basket,
was sent uptown in carriage, and re-
sumed her watch on the front steps
One day she was missing, and soon after
it was learned that she had died and had
been buried at Stewards expense, The
schoolboys of that day had a wonderful
reverence for the wrinkled beldame, for
they had been told that she was a cross
between witch and q detective and
never forgot face which had crossed the
threshold of the store, though no urchin
had ever seen the color of her eyes.--N

"YOu Have Had Enough"

the last cent is spent; when no man is
willing to treat him or give him penny

drink to quench his raging thirst and

him out into the cold and darkness, he
says to him: "You have had enough"
He may plead, he may expost late, but

long as he had in his pocket dollar or
a dime, he had not chad enough but
when he had spent all, and comes for

Beautiful Curls.

When reporter was told that the

tirely overcome with surprise, but had

An Angry Tree.

A gentleman of this place has tree
which is species of ascacia. 1t was
grown from seed brought from Australia.
feet in height, and it is in full foliage and
growing rapidly. 1t is leguminous, and
very distinctly shows the characteristics
of the mimosa, sensitive plant. Regu-
larly every evening, about the time the
''chickens go to roost," the tree goes to
roost The leaves fold together, and the
ends of the tender twigs coil themselves
up like the tail of well-conditioned
pig. After one of the twigS has been
stroked or handled, the leaves move I'M
easily and are in sort of mild commo-
ton for minute or more. All this was
known about the tree, but it was only
yesterday that it was discovered that
the tree had in it much more life and
feeling than it had ever before been
credited with. The tree being in quite
small pot-one which it was fast out
growing--it was thought best to give it
one of much larger. size. Yesterday
afternoon the tree was transferred to its
new quarters. 1t resented the operation
of its removal to the best of its ability.
Arriving at his residence about the time
the tree had been transplanted, the
gentleman found the house in grand
commotion. On asking what was up he
was told that they had transplanted the
tree according to orders, and that the
operation had made it very mad. Hardly
had it been placed in its new quarters
before the leaves began to stand up in
all directions, like the hair ON the tail
of an angry cat and soon the whole
plant was in a culver. This could have
been endured, but at the same time it
gave out an odor most pungent and
sickening-just such a smell as is given
off by rattlesnakes and many other kinds
of snakes in summer when leased. This
odor so filled the house and was so sick
ening that il was found necessary to
open the doors and windows. 1t was
fully an hour before the plant Gained
down and folded its leaves in peace. 1t
would probably not have given up the
fight even then had it not been that its
time for going to roost had arrived. -

i A Man Pit to ROut.

Most men will lose their presence of
mind under moments of excitement.
Thus it is no great discredit to well
known man in q suburban town that he
quite lost his head recently in conse-
quence of an unexpected and alarming
incident. He was at the railway station
in the place of his residence upon the
arrival of the noon train from Boston
and saw descend thercfrom half-score
of chattering, laughing and attractive
young women. Gathered on the plat
form,to welcome them was another bevy
OF maldens, who were at once set upon
by the detachment above mentioned, and
the accustomed scene of oscillation. fer
vent embraces and expressions of pleas

orthree women are gathered suddenly
together was enacted. The congrega-
ton of assorted males who were present
looked upon this animated scene with
mingled amusement and yearning, and
the man in question, who was young and
waggish, began burlesquing the action
of the young women by Selling upon a
masculine friend, embracing him with
ardor and affecting to kiss him with
much loud and labial smaeking. While
thus engaged one of the liyeliest of the
girls observed him, and stepping up to
him, remarked that if he was as anxious
for kiss as he seemed to be he had bet
ter let. his friend alone and kiss her.
The hilarity OF. the person thus chal-
lenged Immediately vanished, his, jaw
fell and his knees smote together, and
he feebly calculated, in stanimering ac-
cents. THANK you; but I'm mar

and vanished, and five minutes later the
subject of this sketch was seen stamping
around the depot and calling himself al
sorts of names because he didn't dare
