Another Unfortunate,

He was finely built, stately fellow,
as 1.-THE and powerful as panther, but
he wore detected look and the most
novel wardrobe ever seen on this side OF
the San Pedro. He presented himself at
the office of one of the stock yards on
South Flores street this morning with a
most pitiable tale of distress, and his at
tire, to say the least, was fine corrobora-
tive testimony to the truth of the story.
His shirt consisted of a simple gunny
sack with hole in the top Of ii through
which he pOked his head for breathing
and accommodating purposes. In the
matter Of pantaloons he was equally I'M
inside Of the hull of an unpretensious
-four barrel. At first he found
his "pants" rather loose in the
waist, but by using his long,
brawny arms as pair OF suspenders, the
end in view was satisfied. In conclusion
to his tale Of woe, he stated that in COM
pany with a companion, he had been
forced to seek shelter the night before In
the hay loft Of the said yard, and that
during the night his companion had alb
seconded with the last vestige of his
clothing, hence his improyised raiment.
Officer Van Alstyne appeared about
this time, and after substituting a sad
dle-blanket for the gunny sack and pail
of leggins for the barrel. led this fine
specimen as 1.-THE professional American
tourist" to the gloomy haunts of the bal
cave, where he Is now ponderiRg upon
"man's inhumanity to man."

Mr.. Frank Olsmith, while showing
his friends Of the Houston Gun club the
sights on Sunday night last, lost his dog
at the cockpit. While eating some
tamales last evening he discovered u
hair Of the same hue and texture AS that
worn by his lost "perp," and from this
he believes his pet has gone the way OF
all CANNES who die under Mexican
auspices.
The men who are too important ~
and self-engrossed to tend a little cour-

Drained, broad-gauged fellows who can

they too, are Only mortals after all.

LOVES ANGUISH OVER.
Love of Life Triumphs over Death-Vir-
tue Triumphant over Vice.

Trinidad Robes is hard customer Of
the Mexican persuasion, and has a de-
cided liking for playing the feminine
hysterical role of attempting suicide
whenever he gets mashed" on girl
and receives a ''set back" He has fig
ured before the courts frequently, and
might almost be termed a courtier. His
lady loves are almost always OF the
cOurtesan style, too, poor fellow. More's
the pity, for Trinidad's purse Is not
very plethoric, and with this class filthy
lucre counts for higher honors than the
most romantic Amour" ever so graph
ically described In the much sought for
works of lola, the novelist. Last night
he procured bottle Of pink-tinted soda
pop, OF the crushed strawberry flavor
and about 3 dollars worth Of cold
poison, strychnine, and posing in
graceful attitude in front OF the man
sion 500, occupied by his fallen
and falling angel, he called for
her In the most dulcet Romeo
accents, sharpened into the blood
curdling shrek Of the coyote by the
numerous drinks of barrel house
whisky with which he had been trying
to pickle his intestInes during the even
ing. AS his love was tarOy ABOUT com-
ing. and as a crowd, in the shape Of
solitary policeman, was collecting rapid
ly, he made haste, with but lit e regard
for grace, and rapidly uncorking the
bottle, witnesses in the form OF birds OF
the night, owls, bats and others, saw
him pour the poison into the flask, take
a very gingerly pull at the death dealing
mess, recork the bottle and with apart
ing howl, he skipped through the yard,
over fences and into the street, pursued
by the aforesaid crowd, which finally
surrounded him on San Luis street,
and marched him in double quick time
to the bat cave de Callaghan, where he
was allowed to wake up the
other prisoners with his bedlam
until he might be tried. His beloved
love potion was taken to Kalteyer's drug
store, where the beautiful lady dreams
of the young night clerk were rudely
dispelled. and who pronounced the mix
ture, after a test, to be composed of soda
and strychnine, in fact. Robes was not
considered in need OF the services of
doctor, however, and was bothered no
more until this morning, when the re-
corder, with a sad smile beaming over
his countenance, assessed the usual pen
atty for being drunk and disorderly, So.

Love and War.


A pretty woman is the cause OF more
trouble, war and vexation in this world
| than all the other causes of evil known
to man. The LIGHT does not wish to ap-
pear ungallant to the fair sex when this
statement is made, but the fact remains,
nevertheless, and many OF the LETT lids
| of old father Adam take 1t as a compIl-
ment. Especially does this proposition
become apparent If the woman has
streak of cOquetry in her nature. Then
| at about the age of l6 (sOmetimes more ,
sometimes less) the pot begins to boil
| and the poor male victims after the soup
without ladle, begin to howl as they
get their fingers burnt In the broth.
Woman, rs usual, figured in a little love
episode of this kind last Sunday night.
The affair started after the performance
of the Mexican circus, on Laredo street,
had ended, under the canopy OF the
starry armament and inside the holty
canopy OF that contracted, but very ira
grant circus tent. A pretty woman, OF
Mexican antecedents, had exercised her
arts divine and had persuaded a sutton,
or sucker" with a plethOric pocket
book, to become her escort home. While
EN- route to the ancient and historic, yet
not very imposing mansion OF the maiden
fair, which she dignilied by the name OF
casa" but which in good old United
States patOis means shanty, the billing
pair fell upon evil lines, the
girls sure-enough" lover putting
in very inOpportune and decld-
edly ''de trop" appearance. Meeting
the situation and the pair face to face,
he inquired of the feminine part of his
audience now he was booked upon the
slate. She informed him in a sympa-
thetic stage whisper (Which caused rush
of hacks out toward the |. Il q. N. depot
to see what train was coming I'M that
he was still her "dulCe COraZOD." but 1t
was in this case, as in a barber shop,
first come, first served" Very gracious
" she informed her doughty escort OF q
proposition she had evolved. They
might fight then and there, for posses
sion of her as prize, and she would array
herself upon the side of the victor. Like
the warrior bold. this gallant knight
exclaimed, IN live for love or die, I"
and they went at 1t. The lover, the
preferred one, OF course, whipped the
other fellow after long struggle, and
whipped him good, and now the beaten
one mOurns for his lost Lenore, his cash
presents and several of his teeth. The
affair occurred in front of the residence
of we'll known guardian of the dignity
of the city, near the |. & g. n. depot

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
NEW STORM SIGNALS.

The Signal Service Agency at the Maritime
Exchange, New York, has been notified by
the Chief Signal Officer at w Washington that It
has been decided to change TO some extent the
cauti0narv signals Of the Weather Bureau, so
that shpmasters may have the benefit Of
more specific weather predictions and storm
warnings The Oh-shOre signal has been
abolished. ana instead Of this four different
wind signals have been devised for display
with the storm flag, to Indicate not only that
a storm is predicted TO occur IN the vicinity
OF the display. but that, IN addition. will in
dictate from which quarter the dangerous
wiudin the storm will first blow. auainlproVe-
rlenttha mariners will highly apnrfciate.
The direction signal will be n square nag
composed Of two horizontal bars, one black
and one white. The position that this nag
lakes in the display, with the red flag with
black centre, tells OF once whether the dan
ger0us wind expected Is to come from the
northeast. southeast, southwest or northwest.
The direction signal is simple and easily in
terpreted. and may be liked IN the mind by
remembering that the direction dag win be
above the cantionary nag for casterly winds
and below for westerly, and that the black
stripe will be above the white for northery
winds and below for southeriy The change
in signals will be made as soon as the fiags
now being manufactured are sent to signsl
stations.
