Aiding Immigration.
E.~,apdina Mirror

One of the most important subjects OF legisla-
ton to come up ut the present session Is thaf Oh
the organization of Bureau OF lmmigratlon IN
connection with the Department ct Agriculture
We NAV have the best climate, the most fertile
aud productive lands, The most attractive Held OF
horticulture but all these, without population,
will prove of little consequence. The wealth OF
country lies in its productive capacity, and
that depends upon the Introduction of intelligent
well directed labor aided by the power of CAPT
tall Our State is sparsGly settled the area of
cultivated land compared to that lying in stale
of nature is very small.
Immigration only comes OF Itself when drawn
BY some Fictitious advantage Ike the gold
fields of California or the SILVER mines OF Neva-
da. For the sober pursuits OF agriculture, the
sober reasoning sense OF men must be reached
by information and demonstrations We must
appeal to the Judgment, and not to sentiment, to
induce men to leave homes elsewhere TO make
their homes here Thousands and tens of thou
sands of people in the North and West would
come to Florida for permanent residence if
they were convinced that they would benefit
themselves and families by doing so.
We must reach these people III order to
bring them to us We must furnish them
with fac,s and not f4ncies. We must induce
them to come and see Tor themselves. All this
requires expenditure of time and money, and a
good deal OF ii, but no investment will pay better
in the end.
We need m Immigration Buregu literally
equipped for It's work. We need permanent ap-
preparations, to be economically and wisely ex-
pended, in all the various ways in which the
work of inducing immigration can be success
fully prosecuted. Whether by one mill tax
or otherwise the funds should be provided and
the work at once begun. IL will bear fruit a
hundred fold.

How TO Avoid 1t.

Complaints of the dry weather are
coming into the city from every sec
ton of the country, and RAIN or water,
is badly needed. The lack of wateris
not felt in this city. as we have the
river and plenty OF artesian wells, but
the jewellers in the rural districts are
not so blessed and many farmers and
stockmen are now actually suffering
and daily their losses are increasing,
because they do not know that right
here in San Antonio the F. F. Collins
Manufacturing Company can afford
them relief, by putting up a fine
windmill and pump with which any
amount of water from wells, or creeks,
can be raised and stored in tanks,
which the company also supplies.
There may be rain in album dance in
Texas for the next decade, yet it is
always prudent to prepare for the
drouth, and in no other way car the
farmer, stOckman or gardener provide
for the emergency, tH4an by procuring
his windmill and tanks from the Col
Inns Manufacturing Company.

Saturday Half Holidays.

To-day the greater part of business
stands still from Saturday noon un-
till Monday morning. That the priv
ilege of weekly opportunity for recre-
alton, with family or friend, during
at least quarter of the year, is of
benefit to every man or woman, has
passed from question to an axiom;
and trade, IN losing a few hours,
gains the strengthened vigorous work
of its workers, who, after relaxation,
are able to give more and better re-
suits. With this end in view, the
Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, maker OF
the Columbia cycles and World type
writer's, has published a BEAUTIFULLY
coloreu Autograph of unique and ar
tistic designs suitable to display in
door, window, store, office, or eleva-
tor, announcing the hours of closing
on Saturdays, and also on other days.
BY an arrangement of Stickers any

Skirmish firing was the order of the
range yesterday and was in marked
contrast to the known distance firing
of the dav before. The targets are
human figures one standing, one
kneeling and one lying down.
The range at which the pieces
are discharged is not known, and
there is no time to set the wind
guage. The command is to march,
then double-quick, and then halt at
whatever distance the executive Off
Ger pleases and fire at will for thirty
seconds. Private Huffman broke all
previous records by scoring 1872 in a
possible 100. Lieut., Rose was second

DRAWING PASTOR.

A pastor who Viii draw is in great
demand. The pernicious custom Of
looking to the pastor alone to at
tract the people and hold them has
been the ruin of some churches.
The pastor cannot fill the house.
He will do we'll if he fills the pull
pit. The church members must fill
the pews. This they can do by be-
ing present at every service, and by
inviting others, and by treating
strangers in such way that thay
will desire to return and by praying
and laboting for the conversions of
souls. If none are drawn to the
church except those whom the min
lister draws, there will be few re-
naming when he is gone. 1t is far
more important to have drawing
church than drawing pastor.

Here is a good and (to u.s. new
bear story, for which we are indebt-
ed to the witty Alta California: "a
big grizzly bear started to walk
around pine tree and caught up
with his own headquarters. Think,
ing they belonged to another bear,
he opened war on his own rear with
tooth and toe-nail. When he felt
himself clawing himself he thought,
of course, that it was the other bear,
and chawed the harder. He never
discovered his mistake until he had
swallowed himself clear down to his
ears, and then it was too late to re-
treat"

''He most lives who thinks the most,

A Boston paper resurrects a
rather curious bit of history, to show
that a colored man was once elected
to Office in Massachusetts,. This
occurred as far back as 1910, in the
little town OF Townsend. At the
town meeting about twenty aboli-
tionists held the balance of power
and would vote for neither party
candidate. Finally both wings and
democrats got mad and united to
elect a negro to the legislature in
order to punish the abolitionists.
But, though elected, the negro did
not take his seat. Public sentiment
would not allow him to do so. Town
send went unrepresented in the
Legislature that year. There is a
good deal that is instructive about
this incident. The spirit that die.
tated the election Of negro as the
greatest possible insult that could
be put upon political antagonist.

new designs in postal cards. The first
of these will be much larger than the
one now in use. and will be sufficient
TO admit OF the printing of bust
ness card at the top and still allow
plenty of room for the message be-
low. The second will be about the
same size as the present card, and
will be for brief notices and the like.

WHAT DO OUR CHILDREN READs

Christian Advocate.
The other day, the writer OF these
lines picked up book that had been
laid down by young man. With
the desire to find out what is in cir
cufation, he read it through. And
with the same purpose, we lay be-
fore parents d brief sketch of its
contents.
First, it deals in assassinations.
On two occasions, the narrative rep
resents the assassins as coming for
their pay. At least four other pas
sages are devoted t? the picturing
Of murders or violent deans us mn .c
plot of the story hangs around
mansion with secret stairways, one
of which is used by the assassins to
reach their victims, and the others
are used by mysterious Arab, or
a more mysterious prince, in foiling
the wretches. Then there are I'M
foreground passages, under the
streets of Paris. 4 necromancer is
introduced, and painted as If she
were doing a clever, instead of a
hellish, thing. And the story winds
up by presenting the noble hero
of the book, the one whose life is
held up before the youthful reader
as something tob be copied, in the act
of advising and compelling a fellow
man to commit suicide.
We look in vain for one noble ex-
ample, or one line that would slim
ulate the young reader to a path of
virtue. In vain we looked for line
that would elevate or ennoble his
intellect Nor was there anything
to encourage him to faithfulness in
Ihe dalIy duties or lite. All was to
the contrary. 1t aimed to arouse
the love of reckless daring-the idea
that human life is not sacred, but a
toy TO be played with, and to lead
the reader to do anything else than
to fulfill the calling which God lays
before him.
With this illustration, let the pa
rent take the trouble to see what
his sons are reading. Perhaps the
investigation will lead him to pro-
vide a supply of interesting and
profitable literature for his:children.

a young man named Dixon has
just had an unpleasant counting ex-
perience in Innishowen, County
Donegal, Ireland. His lady love is
not only very pretty, but she is an
heiress, her uncle having left her a
fortune. Moreover, she is partial
to Dixon. The young man was call
ing on the girl one day, when he
heard the footsteps of a couple of
rivals, and in sportive humor he
concealed himself in the butter box.
While he was enjoying the CONVEX
satiCn the girls father came along
with pail of hot water to scald the
box. Before the girl OWNED his
purpose he dashed the water into
the box. The howl of anguish that
arose scared the old gentleman hall
to death, and poor Dixon was found
to be so badly scalded that he had
to be removed to a hospital.
