vANQuIsHED BY A SMALL BOY.

Just one short month ago,
As much as most folks know
/ thought l knew, but find I've been mis-
taken;
And now | scarce dare say
That Aunt begins with "a,
My faith in my own learning is so shaken.
For about that time there came
Hospitality to claim,
To my cottage door boy, and quite small
one.
But with as great desire
Information to acquire
AS was ever felt-or dreamed of-by tall
one.
oh so many why's" and "whens,"
And whats" and "hows' and "thens,"
So many questions everyth ng concerning,
Have 1 from that laddie heard,
That oft, upon my word,
1t has seemed to me as though my brain were
turning.
And that's not all, for much
Have been reproved for such
Dreadful ignorance of things and people
famous,
And I've to myself confessed,
When compared with my young guest,
And boldly proclaim
Being sure you do the same
In my place. though once you might have
shone at college
That no grown-up could keep pace
In an intellectual race,
With the smallest boy intent on chasing
knowledge.

TEMPERANCE READING.
A GLASS OF BEER.

Only glass of beer,
A social glass with a friend;
Only glass to cheer
The toiler on to the endl
Hut the single glass will soon
Mount to the measure OF more than one,
And morning, night and noon
Your thirst will have only just begun.
So pass IL by, with an earnest no,
For It's crafty and full of guile;
1t will fell your strength with a cruel blow,
1t will shadow your life the while.
If the tension of nerve for a moment seem
To lift you above a woe or care,
The stupid hours will also mean
To assert a claim for their own full share.
For when you climb to the top of hill
You must descend to the plain below,
Whilst the Wanting lie of a maudlin will
Haunts the way with pain as you downward
go.
A larger tax you pay for beer
Than for your daily bread,
Then pass it by as all too dear,
And buy home instead.
1t is only glass of beer,
But within its circled rim
There rules monarch drear
Ger the courts of vice and sin,
Where the hand of murder holds on high
The Grazing curse of frenZied brain,
And the deep red blood of its victims lie
Along the path of its CHASTITY train.

VERMONT LAW.
A State Where a Husband Is Responsible
for His Wifes Temper.

A State Where Husband Is Responsible
for His Wife's Temper.
George Gould says that marriage is
a serious matter. If that is the way it
appears to young millionaire with a
beautiful wife, surrounded with all the
elegance of Jay Gould's summer home
at Lyndhurst, what must be the opin-
ion of the man living in Vermont
whom the Supreme Court of the State
has held liable in damages for an as
sault made by his wife on neighbor,
though committed against the will
and in spite of the best endeavors of
the husband?" To such man mar
riage is indeed serious, and even appall-
ing. But the man of small stature
and little muscle will be careful how
he selects wife in the Green Noun
tain State in the future. He will not
marry woman larger and stronger
than himself, but will be constrained
to select one for his life partner who
can "be governed by his best endeav-
ors" when she takes notion to clean
out the neighborhood. Doctors bills
will have little terror to the man con-
fronted by the possibilities of having
to pay damages for a strong, healthy
woman with a temper. The verdict Of
the Vermont Supreme Court promises
to revolutionize courtship In New En-
gland. - Chicago Inter Ocean.

sum. Then to it must be added the
loss of situation or work, the expense
of vice and crime due to intoxication.
and all that class of losses. If the 75.-
900 wage-workers of Chicago would
save the money, or even half of it,
thus worse than thrown away, they
would soon all have homes of their
own; all their wives and children
would have plenty to eat, good clothes
for rags, and comfort for squalor. The
money spent in Chicago for liquor by
the wage-workers would buy more
than three thousand cottages every
year, and only the sick or lazy would
want for any comfort. - Chicago Irib-
lt7ae.

A Cheering Pledge.

Two of the strongest indications Of
the growth of Temperance sentiment
have been made manifest during the
recent assembly of the Knights of Labor
at Richmond. The first was when
Grand Master Powderly charged the
delegates that they should abstain from
making themselves ridiculous or con-,
temptible in the eyes of the world by
the simple act of abstaining from visit
ing saloons. The second was when the
whole body of knights demanded q.
pledge of constant sobriety from its
newly-elected officers. Philanthropists.
and reformers can take fresh courage
from these cheering manifestations.

New Industry in Delhi.

A new industry has sprung up in
Delhi. Some enterprising natives are
taking advantage of the Government
offer of two annas for every snake
killed to trade on the old Evolutionary
tree-and-serpent worship. The 4th of
August Is the great serpent-worshiping
day, and every Tuesday the pipal tree
is worshiped by Hindoo women.
Taking advantage of the reverence
paid to snakes, large number of men
have set to work catching these reptiles.
Then, taking them into the streets
where pious Hindoos most abound, they
announce that they are on their way
to claim the reward but are quite
willing, for a pice or two more, to re-
lease the reptiles and TO save them
selves from the sin of snakemurder,
which their poverty would otherwise
drive them to commit. The appeal is
invariably successfully. Y. star.

doing the same sort of work as did the
Crusaders of Ohio some years ago, and
on recent Sunday they made personal
visits to the open saloons. At one the

The New Social War.

Editor 5. a. LIGHT.
The prosperity of the country, the in
crease of production, the welfare and
comfort of the laborIng masses, used to
be thought automatic principles; but re-
Gently they appeared TO suffer an eclipse.
The enforced idleness of thousands and
the paralysis of industry and commerce
by the deCry of secret midnight con-
claYes, usurping absolute powers, have
caused untold suffering among the poor.
The laborers would be elevated in the
social scale. The rage of the rich and
great to trample on his rights should
meet with prompt and summary
rebuff. 1t is manifest that the rich,
especially railroad owners. are
more dependent upon labor than the lat
ter is upon them. What is of vital i'm
pOrtance in the contest is 10 keep the
temper and let reason-man's strength
and glOry-be high in the ascendant.
If capital will not be just, the laborer
can readily find other avenues and fields
for his energies. Increase Of population
will necessitate the extension and devel-
Opment of agriculture to vastly higher
pitch than at present. Ship building
promises to be a new industry for the
building up OF an American navy and
merchant marine. A little ingenuity
and mental originality would suggest
hundreds of ways and means of bringing
capital to its senses, by q line of honest
thrift and general welfare, instead of
widespread poverty and suffering. Our
country and its interests, the sacred
cause of liberty, which is the protection
of all in their rights, every mans honor
and interest, all unite in high and holy
eloquence to plead for action of COM
prehensive sort, looking to the oppor-
tunities of the tOiling masses 10 make a
living, and not TO be reduced to starya-
ton with its countless immoral results.
or rather terrible moral evils. Millions
of desperate men in Il nation from star
walton, is not thing of light or trivial
Import.
1t is easy to over-estimate brute force,
that received full trial in darker or more
ignorant periods OF the worlds history.
Mind and reason and moral considera-
tiOns have in modern times come more
into play, accomplishing most astonish-
ing results. Civilization is now too far
advanced to fall back into barbarism.
Any fool can recommend the sword of
hanging. 1t requires mind and heart to
divise something in keeping with the
progress of the age. Even old Napoleon
found out that the sword was not
omnipotent. And the world long since
found out that multitudious cruel
punishments failed of their objects. Too
many impudently rush to the front, who
hate true knowledge and the labor Of
thinking. The unthinking herd are at
times ready to follow; because 1t is
easier. MInd-work is the hardest OF all
work. Common schools must improve
right in this point. Men or thought only
must be in the lead. ANTHRoPos.

FEDERAL COURT.
Colonel Nelson Plato Sentenced and
Makes a Speech.

In the Federal court this morning the
motion for a reheariDg in the Nelson
Plato case came up and was Overruled
by Judge Turner, who then pronounced
sentence upon the prisoner, giving him
the lowest penalty, one years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary at Chester, IL
linOis. The prisoner made quite a
lengthy speech before the court, bitter
in its scorn, supplicating in its anguish,
and vindiCtive in its rage at those
through whose means he claims his
pitiable condition is brought about. His
sentence begins with to-day.
Taylor, the smuggler OF the 80 head OF
horses from Mexico, the case in which
Newberry, of gold brick fame, was also
involved, also had a motion for a re-
hearing. which was Overruled by the
court, and he too was sentenced to Ches-
ter for one year.
The remainder of the morning was
taken up with the argument of the at
tOrneys for Newberry, for the motion
for a new trial, and it Is hardly probable
he will fare better than his illustriOus
predecessors.

The Meeting at Travis Park

Methodist church still continues with
increasing interest. The discourse last
night by Rev. Pinson. upon the CONVEX
sion of "Saul of Tarsas." was one of great
power, and made its way to the hearts
of the people. Many wept during its
delivery. In fact, almost the entire con-
gregation were melted to tenderness.
The after-servioe was almost as numer-
ously attended as the former, scarcely
any one leaving at the regular dismis-
sion. Ten persons came forward as the
number who have been converted during
the week. Many. of the members went
out among those who remained to talk
upon the subject Of religion. The con-
gregation increased in numbers every
night since the meeting began. Services
during the week at $3.50 a. m. and SIS p.
m. All are cordially invited.

San Antonio as a Health Resort


Editor San Antonio LIGHT:
Americans enjoy change and travel.
Travelling facilities are abundant and
tempting. The propensity to leave home
for some other locality in the summer
has become genuine American
taste, and the habit is fashionable
and eminently respectable But San
Antonio offers superior health advan-
tages, cool and shady attractions, pur-
ity and salubrity of atmosphere for the
jewellers in regions less favored in situa-
ton, or of lower and marshy surround
ings. Our suburban streets are lined
with rows of finest shady trees,
our magnificent groves of de-
lightful shade, our rolling hills
and refreshing breeZes ever sITing-
ing up when the heat would be
oppressive, all invite health and pleas
ure seekers from distance TO visit this
picturesque city for the summer, or for
such part thereof as may be convenient.
The salubrity of the atmosphere. and its
elastic and lnvigorating properties are
historic. The suburbs offer splendid OPP
Dortunities for tents on a large scale.
San AntOnians would save money by
staying at home, or spreading tents
near by, for change and rural variety.
Too much Texas money goes away to
distant places, often without apprecia-
ton of noble Texan character.
