San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1893-10-05

No grand or lofty charities. No
thing worth talking about, really,
but somehow often wish it were
possible to do these things, in
stead of merely dreaming them.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1893-10-05

There is a certain youth | know,
who is called by his neighbors
"shiftless" and "nO account" He is
of no earthly use in the cotton
field or behind the pillow; and
though he has been sent to school,
he is the blockhead and the laugh
ing stock of all his classes. Truly
a hopeless fellow-a failure at ev-
erything. Nothing pleases him so
we'll as to find an old bone in the
fields, and to carve it with his
knife into beautiful tigures-a
deer's head, with widespread ant
Iers; or fish, rising after the fly,
every scale distinct on its 1.-the
body. Now if | had money, L
would rescue this life from the
the hopelessness and obscurity of
it's surroundings, where it will be
nothing but a failure, at best. L
would send this boy to one Of the
great schools of designs, where he
could learn to use the power that
is in him; to dream, to create, and
perhaps to become the great ma
gician of his time. But alas, for
that off" Still he remains in his
place, the dullard of a country
neighbOrhOOd; and the people who
know him shrug their shoulders
in cOntemptuOus scorn because he
will not do their work, and cannot
live their life.

And there is certain man, who
devoted his school days to build
ing little water mills, out of a CT
gar box and a piece of tin, that
would actually Ego" and connect
ing them with a saw that would
saw cornstalks before you could
think, almost. And afterwards he
was at work for months with a
new design for a railroad, and had
the track laid from the house to
the barn, and the little train RUM
ing down it as gaily as you please.
One of his neighbors said of him
the other day that he was "eVer-
lastingly no good, and was al
ways a-tinkerin' at some fool thing
or other" He is poor, and in debt,
haunted by creditors and looked
upon with disfavor by everybody.
How | would like to transfer him
to some workshop, where he could
shut out the world and is troubles
and think out his thoughts in
peace-this man, who now is moth
ing, and who might be another
Edison, if he only had the chance.
Oh, the boys and girls that l
would educate, if l had money

these struggling young people,
whom heaven gave ambition, and
circumstances denied the power of
gratifying it. How | would go
around and call them out from be-
hind the counters, and from the
desks and shops and fields, all over
the land, from all the places where
they are bravely and honestly do
ing the work they find at hand.
And when | had sent them on to
prepare themselves for life's battle,
how l would go to the old people,
the fathers and mothers who have
worked early and late, whose hands
are hard and whose figures bowed
with toll, and would say to them,
"come in out of the heat, now, and
rest awhile. You have worked so
hard, and so long, to give the
children chance; now you shall
have chance too"

whisk it away to where she would
never set her bleared eyes upon it
again and how | would set the
little creature in a paradise of love
where all this present would pass
away like an evil dream. How de-
lightful it would be, to give it a
future of happiness and usefulness,
instead of a future leading through
the slums, and ever downward to
the river.

1t has always been said that
women fail to generaliZe, and find
it impossible to deal in abstrac-
tions, and | think it must be true.
The people | would like to help are
all people | know. The Greeks in
Greece | care very little about; but
the Greeks at the dOOr-they are
the ones that trouble my very soul.
The condition Of the people on the
banks of BOOriobOOla-Gha is no
doubt deplOrable, but 50 is that of
the people in Mud Alley; and Mud
Alley is around the corner, while
BoOriOboola-Gha is across the sea.
If | had money, now, would try
to reform Mud Alley first, and
would gradually work over toward
Borioboola-Gha, though it is not
likely that | would ever work that
far. Reforms are slow, and alas,
there are so many Mud Alleys.

CHARGE NOT PROVEN.
Scotch Verdict In the Monson dur-
der Case.

der C08G.
EDINBURoH, Dec. 22-The jury has
returned Q verdict OF mot proven in
the case OF Alfred John Monson for the
murder OF Lieutenant Hambroorh.
Lord Justice Clerk the Right Honorable
j. II. A. Macdonald, In summing mp the
testimony. told the jury that the evil
dence against tho accused was purely
circumstantial, and therefore ID was
necessary that there should DO no flav
or break in the chain Of testimony. The
case. he added. unveiled dark side of
social life. Major Hambrough, father Of
the deceased, had run through his
means and his lie interest in certain
property had been mortgaaed to pay his
debtA Thus he was unable 10 educate
HE son, except By arranging for pro-
posed payments to the accused. After
his son had been placed in the care OF
Monson, Major Hambrough came to dis
trust the accused aud desired to remove
his son. The latter naturally preferred
living with people who were surrounded
with certain external afiiuenccs rather
than to share the squalid lodgings occu-
pied by his parents. Hence there was a
certain estrangement between father
and son which placed the latter further
under the influence Of Monson.
