The BIanco Road Through San Marcos
Corporation.

A great deal has been said from time to
time concerning the badness of the road
from san Marcos to Blanco. and We believe
that discussion has always revealed the fact
that some of the worst points in the road
were in this corporation. All the streets
leading that direction heretofore, have
been open to the objection of being so steep
and rough that loaded wagons could scarce
ly get out on them, Since the opening of
Mary street, however, we are happy to say
these obstacles may readily be obviated.
II leaves the center of town without any
hill. 1t passes alongside of the Sol Thomas
and Carnahan places, to the rear of those
of the Lyells. crossing the dry branch OF
Anthony Bartons. 1t passes on to the rear
of Mr.. Lees and Mrs. Igelhart's places,
still without obstruction save an ascent of a
rod or two back of the latter place, which
is not formidable, and could readily be
graded down in a short time. 1t then pass
es on around the corner of the Thos. Rich
ardson place without further obstruction.
This route only needs day or twos work
to make it all that could be desired. We
respectfully call the attention of our street
authorities to IT, We would also say to our
B,anco friends, this Is the way, even now,
for YOU. In coming this way turn to the
left when you reach the corner of the I.
Richardson place. When leaving town for
home. turn to the right when you reach j..
]. B.rbee's corner. You will thus find
much the best route you have ever had
through this corporation.

An Iucident That Shows the Need
of an Anti.TObaccO Law.


Isaac Thickett is the keeper of small
notion store on West Twenty-sixth
street, opposite the Whittier school. The
principal of the school complained some
time ago to the police that Thickett was
selling cigarettes to small school boys,
and that the children were in the habit
of loafng there at recess and
noon times smoking cigarettes in the
back room of the shop. License In
spector Ray went to the place, found
the boys there smoking, and. after Civ
ing them good lecture, warned them
not to buy cigarettes nor smoke them
there any more, and said to some of
them: off you can't 20 there without
buying cigarettes and loafing around
the store, don't go there"
Now Thickett, who sells paper, pen
ellis and school supplies. brings suit
against Ray for $1,000, claiming that the
latter's action has injured his trade to
that extent. He also threatens to sue
the principal of the school, iady, by
the way, for injuring his business (?)
becalee she tries to prevent young boys
from smoking.
The incident may serve to point out
the desirability of the enactment of the
Dill Introduced III CHe legislature Dy
Senator Swensen prohibiting the sale of
tobacco to boys under sixteen years of
age Which has passed the committee of
the whole. AS it is bere is really no
law to prevent Thickett or anyone else
from selling cigarettes to children or to
prevent the children from buying and
smoking them, and at present it is
question whether or no an officer of the
law had any authority to interfere even
at the request of the principal Of the
school

A MOTHERS DEVOTION.
In a Den of Infamy She Watches
nv Her Sick Bow.

On cot at st. Barnabas' hospital lies
young man who has somewhat
strange history. There is no need of
giving his true name, as he has friends
here. and his nearly heartbroken mother
is IN the city, waiting for her boy to gain
strength enough to be taken home to
Iowa. Some five years ago Parkhurst
THAT name will do as we'll as his true
name) was given some $4,000 by his
mother to GO to st. Paul and set himself
up in business. Instead of going there
the young man went West, and for time
wrote home regularly, telling of his
whereabouts. Finally his letters ceased
altogether, and for nearly two years his
mother mourned him as dead. A day
or so ago she received telegram from
him telling her to come to Minneapolis,
where he was dying. Sac came, and
found the wreck of her once handsome
son in a disreputable place on Ninth
avenue south, near Washington, where
he had been taken to die. She at once
went to him, determined to watch by
him until he died or was in a condition
to be removed. 1t was evening when
she found him. She had been sitting
by his side for an hour or so when two
women of the town, accompanied
by several roughs, entered the
place. determined to make night of
it. They tried to make the sick man
drink whisky and beer, but were pre-
vented from carrying out their designs
by the mother. All there was to eat
was some stale bread. A negro woman
living near by invited the mother tip go
to her house and get cup of cOffse, but
the mother refused, being afraid to
leave her son. There she sat all night
long. while in the same room the
drunken men and women were holding
their orgies. The poor woman prayed
for daylight to come, not daring to close
her eyes for fear. When morning came
she was worn out. but managed to at
tract the attention of passer-by, who
called assistance, and the young man
removed to the hospital. The mother
went to the home of friend. and will
go home with her son as soon as he is
able to travel. She came here expect
ing to take him home IN coffin.
