SOME one with penchant for statis-

dusiry, and It appears from the figures
that these United States now rank third
In the list In that production, and
although her brewerles are few in num-
Der compared with those Of other coun-
tries, she yet makes two-thirds as much
beer as England, whose breweries are
almost ten times as many. England Is
at the head of all beer producing ooun-
tries, with 1900 breweries and pro-
duct of 100000 gallons annually;
while Germany. with $4,000 breweries.
makes 9O0,0OO,000 gallons yearly. The
United States, with only 5000 brewer
les, makes about C0O,000,OO0 gallons per
annum. Then come France, with 5000
breweries and production Of l57 ,5OO.-
600 gallons, and Austria and Hungary.
with 2,O03 breweriss, but production
of 2s0,Oc0,OoO gallons. Belgium has 1850
breweries, which produced last year
2lO,25O,OOO gallons; Holland, 800 brewer.

IT IS more than likely that all the ap-

consideration they deserve, but simply
as a business investment there should
be some action taken by the city to Sc

building In San Antonio. The bill in
troduced for that purpose got very
fair start at the last session, but like
everything else, 1t needs attention and
proper coaching.

AS MATTER OF eyen-hsnded justice
the following from the El Paso Times
furnishes food for reflection: "How is
this? In the United States bunch of

oft, terribly the passengers by shooting
through the cars, and after riding 80 or
60 miles get oil, and 1t is called playful
freak of the cowboy, while In Mexico.

TIN Insurance men, says the New
York Tribune. not to be behlndhand in
low spirits, declare that they will be
ruined II the times do not improve. 1t
is not that they cannot get enough bust
ness to do; they get too much, and too
much insured property burns up. The
national wealth increases yearly eight
hundred millions of dollars, and In or
binary times one-eighth OF this amount
is destroyed by fire, while in days Of de-
preston the loss Is even greater. This
is due, the underwriters say, to the
moral hazard in their business, mean
ing that when the times are financially
out Of Joint people set fire TO their we'll
insured property This Is a painfully
sad view to take Of human nature; but
the insurance men sustain their unpleas-
ant position by forclble statistics"
TnK LIGHT trusts that Its readers will
pardon 1t for the seeming vanity Of re-
publishing the glowing compliments
paid 1t on its holiday edition. That
paper was devoted to San Antonio, her
business and her future, and that It
filed the bill intended is shown by the
comments OF the State papers. Had
that issue been simply an advertising
sheet or devoid of any literary or typo
graphical merit, there vould have been
no attention paid 10 it, either at home
or abroad, and as the LIGHT believes
that which benefits 1t benefits also the
city. these comments are given to show
that the work was well done, and that
1t commanded not only attention but
respect. In this connection is given the
following: The Floresville Chronicle
says: "'rhe holiday edition Of the San
Antonio LIGHT was all that the pub
fishers claimed 1t would be, in regard to
beauty and general get up. The LIGnT
is one of the handsonest papers re-
celyed at this office every day in the

That hlaNed with a glare lie midday light.
Maeie ntvef shadow Of sorraw tails
Somebody's dude strolled in one night
Somebody's dude, So young and white,
Wearing upon his innocent face
Never sigh ot manhood's might,
But hi, scarf pin showed suspicion Of paste
Carefulp combcd are his raven curl.,
That lightly lie ON hir delicate brain,
And in his fingers he languidy twrls
In careless nation gold headed cane;
Somebody carefully conbcd hi, hair
Was it his mother, whose sight now fades
Wits it a blushing miadeu fair
Or barber as black the ace Of spades
There's never a doubt he is somebody's pet;
Somebody's heart has cnshrincd him there;
Maybc the dude has father vet,
Or mother who waits At the head Of the stairs
Maybe a maiden with Il cheek Of rose,
Is sadly awaiting the missing link,
And there he stands in beautiful pose,
In the glamor and glare of the skating rink.
But there man full Of honeyed guile
And i,stcns the cruel skates to his feet,
And stands aside with cynical smile,
And waits for his mead his heels to meet.
Kiss hln once for his grandnother's sake,
It's doubtful if ever She kisses him more;
The skates from his feet tendcrly take,
Sweep out the debris aud close the door.
