SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

The following official advertise
ment appears in the Express:
"Public notice. Mayor office, San
Antonio, Tex, Oct. II, 1891. The
public Is respectfully invited to visit
the new city hall building as follows:
Tuesdays and Thursdays. from 10 q.
m to IL IN. and from TO B p. m. Sat
urdays from 10 q. m. to IL m. and
from to 8 p. m. Bryan Cailaghsn,
Mayor, by f. P. CIaudon, city clerk"
The people notice this invasion OF
a foreign custOm-for instance in
Paree, Berlin, and other European
cities the palaces and public build
ings are open TO the public on certain
days. In this country every public
building from the capital at Wash
iDgton to the county court house is
open every day for the inspection of
the people. The theory Is that these
buildings belong to the people in
charge of the officials for public pur-
poses.
This is no doubt the results of
Mayor Callaghsn's trip through Eu.
rope; he imagines himself "lord
mayor"
So far as the new city hail is con-
cerned, no taxpayer cares to look at
1t more than twice week.
The Lord Mayor should ordain that
the people must not look at the build.
Ing from the outside only long enough
to discover the tower. and not long
enough to find out what is going TO
become of it.
1t will also be noticed that the Wis
iting days are not the days on which
the city council meets. Now the peo-
pie would like TO see the menagerie,
when they do visit their new city
hall.
The people are getting dreadful!y
tired of this attempt to turn our city
government into q one-man concern,
run on a half-foreign way,-our people
are not aristocrats; and have no pa
thence with this aping of foreign
ways in dealing with public affairs.
City Employees as Corporation Pro-
teciors.
To the DAILY LIGHT
1t is stated in the public prints that
City Marshal Shardien had been or.
dered to an outside county to protect
the interests of railroad corporation.
This being fact it is q sufficient
cause for the people to Immediately
rise and wipe out the whole bunch,
from tho sage of Beanville down to
the creature that struts under that
plug hat.
Mr.. Shardein's post is at San An.
tonic and not outside of it, He Is
paid by San Antonio taxpayers and
not by the interested receivers of q
railroad. He is subject to the imme-
date orders of the mayor, and was
doubtless sent away from his duties
by that individual, to the detriment
of course OF the city's interest.
Think of it ye plucked Taxpayers,
and make answer at the polls if not
sooner. No blame is attached to Mr..
Shardein, but the person that drove
him from his post should himself be
driven from his by those whom he
misrepresents. When a mayor repays
corporation for its votes
by depuling paid employe
OF the city 10 take up arms and fight,
if need De out side of the line of duty,
for his cunning benefactors he simply
does an injustice to the employe and
disgraces the position which he
holds. He then becomes a vicious
master and not q willing servant, q
tyrant foul and dangerous, and as

Men have early learned the law of
self preservation. They specialize. They
choose that pursuit and that recreation
which best suit their natures and their
needs Does not the artist steadily re-
fuse to be n merchant? Does not the
broker refuse to paint floors? Does the
historian expect TO be equally learned
in astronomy? Does the want of l1nOwl-
edge or experience in any business or
study prevent appreciative and respect
ing intercourse between men?
Let a woman realize, then. that she
cannot compass the universe. Let each
woman quickly take account of her
stock in trade, of her mental endow-
ments her capacity and her strength,
and from these let her select what is
best for her to do and 10 be What
ever is wisest for her hOme-that trim
ity Of husband, children and self--is
Synonymous with mere pleasure, self
indulgence or stagnation.
Let her then resolutely turn her back
upon all those ambitions foreign to
this purpose, for no thoughtful wo-
man will find her aims too narrow,
even when she has restricted her aims
as much as possible. Let her not
be deceived into spasmodic efforts
in other directions by other women
whose aims are not like hers. Let
her not attempt to reach for their
successes, or look upon her own as in
or insufficient, for she will
soon find in a wisely ordered, TRANQUILITY

One early morning, during q snow
storm, was starting for the hills I
noticed the footprints of cat upon the
fresh snow [ guessed the cat was my
own, strong, black tom. Curious to
know how far his peregrinations might
have extended, I made up my mind to
find out, if possible. [ had not, how
ever, followed the track more than a
few hundred yards when [ came upon
what appeared to have been a desper-
ate struggle, and which at first sight l
took to be the marks of puss and an
unfortunate hare or rabbit, but upon
closer examination I found the antag
onist must have been fox.
The combat, as long as it lasted,
must have been a severe one, as it was
quite clear from the marks on the snow
that one or both of the animals were
down several times. | am inclined to
believe that Reynard came off second
best in the affray, as it could be seen
that he retreated back the way he
came, whereas puss continued on his
wanderings until he entered thick
plantation, where had to give up pur-
suit. When | got home [ found the
cat had got home before me, and was
apparently none the worse for his morn
ing's adventure. and Water.

DR.. TALMAGE's BUSY WIFE.
Glimpse of the Great Preachers Sec
rotary and Business Manager.

Glimpse of the Great Preachers Sec
rotary and Business Manager.
Mrs. Talmage is distinctly her hus-
of his busy life are looked after by her.
She is a business woman, having rare
executive ability, capable of easily
handling number of things at the
same time Much of DIR. Talmage's
daily work is planned and laid out by
her. She makes his pastoral and social
engagements, and all his lecturing in
terests are in her hands. She knows
his capacities even better than he
Whenever d journey is to be made it is
she who lays out the route, procures
the tickets and staterOOms and attends
to all the details No public man per-
haps is saved SO many annoyances as is
DIR. Talmage by his wife's foresight and
ability.
The rear apartment of the second
floor is Mrs. Talmage's working room
1t is tastefully furnished, but more with
an eye to utility than OrnanentatiOn.
In this room Mrs. Talmage spends most
of her time. 1t is her private den"
All the mail that is eft at the house for
DIR. Talmage is taken into this room
and is opened by her. 1t is not an un-
usual thing for the pOstman to deliver
between one and two hundred letters a
day, all of which pass through Mrs.
Talmage's hands Business letters are
answered by her, and all letters that
may be of an unpleasant or annoying
personal nature are destroyed DR.
Talmage never sees them.
A day in Mrs. Talmage's home would
be a revelation to those who believe
that the life of a public mans wife is a
succession of pleasures, dotted here with
a pretty compliment and there with
some token of honor. While many PEG
pie are yawning and preparing to break
their nights rest Mrs. Talmage is al
ready up opening the first mail Break
fast is promptly at O'Clock. Then the
family separate. and the wife begins to
receive callers, which alone is task.
1t is a well known saying among the
neighbors that 1.-The Talmage bell is
never still"
All kinds of people must be seen, in
Vulnerable appointments made and
kept, the pastoral work of the largest
church in America must be looked af-
ter the details of a score or more mis-
sionary, church, literary societies with
which Mrs. Talmage or her husband is
connected have their demands, and in
addition to all these are the household
cares of a large house and a family of
growing children.
All the appointments of the Talmage
home in Brooklyn reflect the woman
who presides over it. Gaudiness in
furniture or decorations is absent, and
instead one sees a harmony of good
taste on every hand. Mrs Talmage Is
an excellent housekeeper, and her home
shows it.-Edward w. Box in Ladies'
Home Journal

Cheering word for the Husband.
One of these days things may work
round again to an appreciation Of the
Present Man as distinguished from the
Coming Woman, who makes SO large a
figure in literature Take him all in all
the Helpful Husband is about the finest
character of the day. There has been
a certain exhilaration for the woman in
stepping outside her home, but for the
man, what patience, what subduing of
pride, what building up of new ideals!
For once the character of the sexes
seem to be reversed; the bravery of
adventure is the woman's, the watch
ing for results the mans.
Where can one find a finer develop
ment of chivalry than in men, and
they are not few in number. who
against their desires, against their
instincts, against their reason, are
letting their wives support them
selves in marriage, are even urging
them and aiding them to walk in direc-
lions which it pains them to see them
walk, because they are farsighted
enough or loving and loyal enough to
leave even the woman who is dearest
to them to work out her own salvation?
The man who does this knows that he
criticised, and his part-the silent part
is quite as plucky as many of the
most applauded displays of feminine
energy and enterprise. New York Re
