Ono was devotce of fashion and pleas
ure. The other was palo-faced woman,
whose manner displayed great energy.
She held in her hand slip Of paper, with
which she measured around the neck of
the fair creature of fashion.
"That will do" she said.
"What you iit my dress by measuring
my neck"
'rhat is all want" was the reply.
Dear me-" said the lady, "how
strange"
"Gynametry is the name of the science -
said the lady with the paper measure.
"The system of measuring the female
figure was discovered by me after years
of patient study and hard work. was
then dressmakinE in Columbus, Ga, and
Professors BARTLETT and Battle gave the
now science tho name of 'gynametry,
which is made up of the Greek words
that mean female measurement. The
rules, however, which apply TO the
female figure apply with equal and alb
solute force to the male figure"

And IL you don'tsee me?"

"Dear mo! Why do you want TO know
which toe Is the longesty
IF your big toe is longest your should

a Detroit paper recently appeared in
rhyme, dispatches, editorials, advertise
ments, and all. This is new form Of
enterprise. and offers valuable tugges-
tion to MIR. Cleveland in the construction
of his inaugural addr ess. Let him put it
IN rhyme. and even his most relentless
critic will then be cstopped from saying
that tho address is prosy. He needn't
Conilnc himself to one meter either, but
can diversity IL ~ much rs he ploascs.
For instance. where he spcnks of his viows
on tho tariff he can drop into blank verse,
rs best representing his state of mind on
the subject. All reference to tho south
could be written in the meter OF Dixie
with q rcbel yell obllgato. His views on
the silver question would he in tho meter
of silver Clouds Among the Gold" All
personal references would of course, run
in the meter Of tho song. see the Con-
qucring Hero Comes" And IL no should
trus. himself to refer to the disscnsions
of tho democratic party, he would cast
his remarks in tho meter Of "Tho Kill
kenny Cats" But there is no need Of
going on. IL will be seen Mt once that
there Is great deal In this suggestion.
Notwithstanding its value wo offer II to
Mr., Cleveland for nothing. solely in the
interest Of reform and harmony.--NciC

were two inches of red socks. Tho
station keeper induced him to take

MAGNOLIA
Reads the Republicans Lecture
About Lost Opportunities.

Editor San Antonio LIght;
Our esteemed citizen, Judge Ogden,
was certainly right when he said, in his
remarks at the pavilion, that the IRE
publicsns should have called n conven-
tion and made nomination for Mayor"
but as they did not have the shack
bone" to do that, 1t was certainly use
less to call a meeting to indorse Demo-
ocratic ticket. As Republican, feel
his remarks, but am not by any means
a prejudIced Republican. / feel In pol
itics as do about rellgion-it is mans
own inalienable right TO vote or believe
as he sees flt. know am just as good
a Republican as Brother Newcomb, but
as the party did not see fit
to put some worthy man forward,
to represent them. /, Of course, In
dorsed the best man among the Demo
cratic nominees, and am not sorry for
1t; and fervently hope tonight that
Bryan Callaghan Is elected. ] cannot
be accused OF indorsing him from any
claims OF personal friendship nor any
mercenary motive, for i have not the
honor of knowing him. though l hope l
shall In the near future. l am not silly
enough to suppose that n man cannot
make n good officer because he Is not a
Republican. My dear, dead father was
a Democrat all his life, and my respect
for his goodness was unbounded. What
is the use Of Republicans talking and
meeting at such late dayp III
they meant "business," why did they
waste their precious time, but go ahead
and nominate man for their ticket.
This Mayoralty has been agitated for
weeks. Why then didn't they take time
by the forelock and make matters livelyp
Ii is too late to lock the stable when the
horse is stolen; so the least said by Re-
publicans, under the circumstances, the
better. | haven't n doubt but what
Bryan Callaghan will turn out to be as
good a Mayor as II he had been Repub-
lican., Newspaper men have my un,
bounded sympathy, for they are blamed
for every III that comes. There Is not
an ignoramus In the country but what
thinks he can run better paper, or In a
better style than those he reads. North
and South, IL Is all the same; the
man that could not run paper
to save his neck from the gallows
thinks that nature intended him for just
such a business. The more education
man possesses the more unostentatious
he will be. Take man who slings on
style and acts in lordly manner, with
his hat set well back on his bump of
philoprogentiveness, and when you
bring him down to facts he knows pre-
cious little, but bless your heart, he
thinks he knows 1t all, indeed he does,
and acts accordingly.
When this election breeze has blown
over and peace reigns within our city,
hope little more interest will be dis
played about the improvements, that
so sadly needed around our quaint and
historic city. MAGNOLIA.

We put a big light on the bow of the

You may hang me If the fish didn't
crowd up to that light SO thick that
some Of them had to jump cut of the

Enough jumped into the boat to make
