 The owner of the property had found the stranger who didn't gush about the Alamo, so he took the ether tack, told him how many saloons there were on the way to church, how near it was to the postof6ce and police station, but ;: was no use.

NOT AN ENTHUSIAST.

One day last summer a man from northern Texas moved to San Antonio with his family. He had been looking around for house, and yesterday he found a man who had house to rent near the Alamo. The owner of the house had observed that almost all strangers were filled with enthusiasm about the Alamo, the Thermopyla of Texas, and the historic "reminiscences that cling to the old ruin, so thought he would utilize the location of the house in obtaining a high rent. Hence, whom the stranger wanted to know in what part of town the house was, the owner said in voice quivering with emotion:
 cit is located, my dear sir, within a stone's throw of that venerable old relic of Mexican architecture, the historic Ala. mo, whose broken columns and weather beaten front are marked by shot and she'll"
 The stranger did not know anything about the Alamo, and cared great deal less, but the owner of the property kep, on gushing about the Alamo, thinking the stranger would be very much im- pressed.
 Has it got good cistern ?" asked the man who was looking for residence.
 "Certainly, it has. was only saying that the building was near che Alamo, where the Mexicans-"
 "lf thar's any Mexicans living in it now, don't want your house. If there is one thing am scared of it is smallpox None of us have been vaccinated, and"
 "Why, there have been no Mexicans in the Alamo since before the annexation of Texas. was only saying that there it was that the heroic Crockett, Travis, and one hundred and ninety gallan, men lost their lives"
 "Why, it can't be healthy part of town2 Haven't you got city physician p Way don't your board of health inspect the placer"
 "Why, they died in 1856. and their remains were buried near by" "Your house won't suit me. don't want to live near graveyard. It gives one the blues, and it ain't healthy, mo- how"
 The owner of the house explained away | the graveyard. and then vent on to say that the hardest fight of modern times was undoubtedly that of the Alamo. The Alame was famous for it's fights. "I don't think your house will do.

NOT THAT KIND OF A BOY.

A New York Sunday-school teacher was explaining chapter in Genesis to a class of boys. He asked:
 "Why did Ham laugh at his father, Noah ?"
 "Because Noah was drunk"
 (" You would not laugh at your father, if he was to come home drunk, would you?'
 The boy of whom this question was asked happened to be the son of candi. date for office, hence he truthfully re- piled:
 (" might laugh at pa for getting tight if got chance, but since he has been running for office, he comes home so late at nights that am always asleep; so l miss all the fun"

 Jim was so surprised at his luck, that he bit the coin to see if he was awake or merely dreaming, and in doing so dis covered that it was made of lead.

Our Smallest Coin.
The smallest of American &C

The smallest of American coins,
the ubiquitous cent, alike incapa
lie Individually of exciting the
greed ofthc countcrfeitcr, or Stimu
lating the covetouSness of the orli,
llary citizen. has, despite it's leSpls-
Ell paltrynesS, swelled in the aggre'
gate to enormous proportions. Since
tho time of James Jarvis of New
Haven, who, in the year 1857, coin
ed the first American cent, the
manufacture Of this btof legal ten
der h:sS gone ON Internationally, I'M,
I'll there have been sent ont, upiler
the orders OF the Treasury Depart
lnent, Coniderably over six hunuerd
million American cents. In other
words, there have been circulatated
in the United States more than six
million dollars worth of this coin.
Tie cent has not always been
what it is today. While the total
has been growing to such enormous
proportions, the single coin has, in
,l"fence to public convenience, been
getting smaller and smaller. Many
people still remember the unwieldy
size of the old fashioned copper"
which prevailed in our grandfath-
rr'S time; but even that WAS a less
bulky article Of circulation than
its predecessors of the same value.
The difference between the James
Jarvis cent and the cent Of to day,
is the difference in size and weight
between two hundred and sixty
four@rainS and forty eight grains.
1t Will be seen by this that the cent
of the Younger days Of the republic
MAS not for from requiring the
services of Il dog-cart for its trans
l0rt;ltion. Our present bronze cent
which began TO be issued i'll 1854,
and is ninety.fvt per cent. of cop
per. and five per cent. OF tin and
zinc, has reached a circulation Of
over two million dollars.
The cent enjoys the distinction
among coins, in common with the
silver dollar, of being profitable to
the government which issues it For
c>crydollarmade the United States
makes thirteen cents, and the profit
is so great on the smaller com that
it is sent in kegs from the mint
absolutely free of express charges
On all Other coins, something like
TWO dollars on every thousand dol
lars is paid by the banks for trans
pUrtation.

We subsequently learned that his
story WAS true. General Jackson

 East svenins bet#eeslni and o'clock as Officer Bissell of the police force was walking out Washington street on his way to West Haven to subpoena witness for attendance upon the Superior court he noticed coming toward him lady and man little behind her, following her and acting suspiciously. The two passed the officer, and the lady turned into Cedar street. The officer kept watch of the man and presently saw him walk up to the lady and seize her around the waist, at the same time taking indecent lib critics with her clothing. "The lady shouted bloody murder, said the officer, s'and I went for him. When the woman screamed the man let go of her and the woman fled. l walked swiftly and as the man turned into the new street there grabbed the man, who was greatly surprised to find I was police officer was in citizens dress. I took the man into the police station. On the way he said he would not have done it if he had not been drinking. He said he had drank five or r'six glasses of lager"
 At the police office the man gave his name as Smith and his age as twentyone, and claimed to belong in New York. He denied having made an assault. When the officer grabbed the offender the lady, who had been coming toward the city, ran across the street and up toward Washington street, apparent ly terribly frightened and going back to where she came from.

Mime. RistorI,s RetInue

''Keller' says in the New York World, speaking of Mime. Ristori: At the Metropol- itan Opera House New Years eve noticed the son and daughter of Mime. Ristori in one of the bagniore boxes. They are named re- spectively George and Blanca, and both have attained maturity. The young lady has 8 peculiarly patrician face that is extremely interesting without being beautiful. The young gentleman is comedy, but his face lacks character. understand that Mme Ristori's family, including the servants, numbers twelve people, all of whom travel constantly with her. They are provided with a special car and live in it the greater part of the time. The expense is necessarily large, and it seems to me that unless the distinguished tragedienne does better business than she did during the engage ment that has just closed at the Star. she will have to cut down her retinue.
