MAYOR LOCKWOOD.
Calls q Special Session. His Talk
on Election

Calls q Special Session. His Talk
on Election.
On Monday the city council failed to
meet there not being quorum present.
Tuesday Aldermen Anderson, Boelhauwe
and Guerguin sent a petition to the may
or, requesting him to call special session
of the board OF aldermen for the purpose
o ( making all election arrangements, as
well as to discuss several important items
OF interest which have been pending for
the past three weeks. 1t seems that the
mayor or his father, The Boss" did not
see fit to call the meeting petitioned for,
and as consequence the body did not
assemble ca that day. Mayor Lockwood
was angry and showed signs of lions
wrath when he was Informed in the petit
ten that it was necessary to discuss
''other matters Of interest" He said that
he was mayor Of San Antonio and it was
his place alone to say whether or not
there were matters pending that were of
vital importance.
Matters subsidized for a short space of
time. when Aldermen Beckmann, Hoef-
ling and Guerguin took the matter up and
petitioned for special meeting. This pc
tition was handed IN this morning. AS
early as 9 o'clock the cork screw was
seen twisting and a call was written out
to the effect that a special session of the
city council will be held this Thursday
afternoon at 4:3O o'clock for the purpo Sc
of discussing election matters, as well as
talking over these same important item
of interetS."
In conversation with his honor this
morning a LIGHT reporter asked whether
or not he intended calling a special meet
ing.
1T has already been called long ago"
said he in a base" voice, which, had the
reporter not known him, would have
turned his hair pale.
''The devil you have replied the re-
porter in the same kind of a musical voice.
May | look at the call in order to pub
lish it"
Stroking his waxed face beautificr. he
said: 1T is not necessary. | notify my
aldermen by mounted police officer.
Good said the LIGHT man. and he
left with sarcastic grin on his face,
which more than stirred up his highneSS.
In speaking with several of the alder
men today LIGHT man learned thPt the
session Of this afternoon will be a hot one.
Aldermen Anderson. Bcckmann. HOeting,
Boelhauwe, Guerguin, Hickman and
Daugherty are up in arms against any
slight of hand performance" and will
see justice on both sides or find out the
reason why.

Her Clipping Experience.

There are many women in Washington
who, either on their own account or through
their husbands s orders, are patrons of cSp
ping bureaus, and some Of them have va
ried experiences The same clipping re.
ceived day after day or week after week for
year grows very monotonous-even when
it is the truth and entertaining. When it
happens to be a false statement, woman
can be excused for becoming wrathful.
Women who have had experience in this
latter direction will appreciate the sensar
tions of Miss Clara Barton when she found
story to the effect that when she went into
the patent office some years ago she was
penniless, and the clipping insinuated, if it
didn't say in SO many words, that she was
on the verge of starvation when she took
the place.
This was enough to make Miss Barton,
who is very tender of the memory of her
father, quite indignant But Miss Barton's
cup was not by any means as full as it be-
came later. The fib seemed to catch the
exchange editors fancy, and it was evi-
IDENTIFY very literally scissored, for inside of
week the bureau began to fire into her
at 5 cents each clippings from papers in
every state and most of the territories in
the Union. Before long Miss Barton had
paid three times as much fer that fib as the
editor who bought it originally from the
author. At this stage Miss Barton thought
it would not be amiss to put brake on
the clipping bureau, which was then in
formed that Miss Barton had quite enough

Artless Childhood.

One Of the artless and attractive charac.
teristics of children is their easy intimacy
with heaven and the deity. When little
mite at Sunday school, or out of it indeed,
is asked a question whose answer is be-
yond him, he is very apt to fall back upon
the maker of heaven and earth, often with
most amusing incongruity. A little girl
who wanted to go out and play one Sunday
recently was told she might sit on the
stoop, but could not go to the street. She
trundled her little chair out accordingly,
but at the end of few minutes trundled it
back again. There is nobody out there
but Dod," she announced, land tan't see
him, SO tummed in."

couldn't play note, seated herself at the

Tho Language of the Umbrella.

An umbrella carried over q woman;
the man getting nothing but the drip
pings Of the rain, indicates courtship.
When the order of things is re-
versed, and the man has the umbrella
and the wo man the drippings, it indl-
Gates they are married.
To trail your umbrella along the
ground means tn at the man behind
you is thirsting for your blood.
To carry it at right angles under
your arm, signifies that an eye may be
lost by the unfortunate person who
may be back Of you.
To press an umbrella on friend say
ing, "Oh, do take it; l had much rath-
er you would than not, "signifies lying.
To give friend half your umbrella
signifies that both of you will get wet.
To place q cotton umbrella along
side of silk one signifies, Exchange
is no robbery"
To leave an umbrella in the vestibule
at church signifies that your faith in
human nature will be shattered unless
yon are the first person to leave the
church.
To refuse to borrow an umbrella
when you have an opportunity signi-
fies that you are crazy.
To lend an umbrella indicates you
are fool.
To return an umbrella means--well,
never mind what it means; nobody ev-
er does.

Jean he bow and say to me that he hope
my health will keep good, and Marie
stop crying and make him grimace,
and he go away too. They both come
back often. But she cannot tell which
she like best ever, and am very weary.

say: Let us wait. He may be late, and
she smile to herself. think it is very
strange, but at last see Jean LEROY

that he look-oh, horTiblel He have his
arm tied up, and his coat is torn, and
one of his eyes has black mark. and he
is lame. He wear no hat, and the collar
and tie are gone. Oh, it is dreadful.
But say nothing. fear Marie change
her mind again. But it is not so. They
are married, and l make Jean tell me
why he look so dreadful.
Well he say, Marie tell each of
us, separately, that she will marry us
today, and when see him smile, not
knowing that he has her promise, too,
and when he see me he hold the head
high, not knowing that l shall marry
her. So all the week we nearly have our
fight, but I never touch him till-well,

that she will marry the one that will get
to the church first. We both get the
note at the same time, and see that he

The Farmer and Newspaper Man.

The National Labor Tribune makes
the following comparison, and says
that "many men think that newspaper
men are persistent dunners," and then
goes on and says, suppose a farmer rails
es one thousand bushels Of wheat
and sells this to one thousand persons,
in all parts of the country,
Ia great portion Of them
saying: II will hand you dol
lar in short time" The farmer does
not want to be small ,and says all right.
Soon the one thousand bushels are
gone, but he has nothing to show for
it and then realizes that he has fool
ed away his whole crop, and its value
is due to him in thousand little drib-
lets, consequently he is seriously en-
barrassed in his business, because his
debtors, each owing his one dollar,
treats 1t as small matter, and thinks
it would not help much. Continue
this kind of business year IN and year
out as the publisher does, how long
would he stand it? A moments
thought will convince anyone that q
publisher has cause for persistent dunn
ing.
