He Is Not Poor.

To the San Antonio LIGHT:
The story is told about that CAPTAIN
Shardein is very poor man, which is a
mistake. BY reference to the city asses
sor's books ii will be seen that the pro-
perty assessed in the name Mrs. Mary A..

As property is not generally assessed for
more than one half its value, it will
readily be seen that the Captain is in no
immediate danger of going to the poor

Flowers III Midsummer.

At this season of the year we are
pretty sure to have a spell of very
hot, dry weather, and plants suffer
greatly from it, and, if it is pro-
tracted, they often cease to bloom,
and when they do that it is practi-
callY the end of the season with them,
as but few will recover from the
effect later on, when rain comes,
writes Eben E. Rexford in timely
article ON midsummer in the Gar
den" in the Ladies' Home Journal.
To avoid these results, and continue
the beauty of the garden, water
should be given freely and regularly.
In towns and villages where connec-
ton can be made with water-works
this will be an easy thing to do, but
in the small places and the country
it often involves a great amount OF
labor Water at night, so that the
sun will not cause the moisture to
evaporate before it has a chance to
get to the roots Of the plants, as it
will if watering is done in the morn
ing. Instead of using watering,
pot with spray nozzle, use one with
a spout simply, as that will allow you
to apply the water in stream about
the base of the plants, thus getting
enough water where it is needed tC
do good, which would not be the case
if you were to sprinkle it over the
surface of the ground.

Wonders of. the Desert.

An interesting discovery comes to
San Diego, California, by the way of
the town Of Julian, up in the mount.
aims. A correspondent Of its paper,
the Weekly Sentinel, tells of jour.
ney over the Colorado desert. He
had camped midway between the
Seventeen Palm Springs, which is
about twenty miles out and the
Fish Springs, some 250 feet below the
sea level. From there he could trace
for miles on the mountain side the
line of a former sea, the portion
that was below the water being of a
dull gray
From Fish Springs he travelled
three miles to the base of mount
ain. and found that instead of cor
roding lime, the almost perpendicu.
lar rock was of solid coral formation,
200 feet high, following ragged lines,
filling crevices and lining cave
with a spectacle Of magnitlcence.
The cave, fifty feet high by twenty
six feet wide, of coral lining, is hardly
touched by time. In little bay be-
tween two jagged points of the rocks
the peach outlines are still distinct
above the coral formation. Little
coves are cut in the rocks as evi
dences of shelter for Indians, while
from them run indistinct trails up
ward.

Use the Right Word.

Pronouns are stumbling blocks to
many who speak the mother tongue
correctly as a rule. "a person does
not know what to do with their
hands," they say, or, "One does not
give their best things away for
nothing" If speaking of two per-
sons, you will hear that "Ruby has
invited John and TO supper" or,
Lawrence is going to Chicago with
Mildred and l." The placing of
another name before the conjunction
blinds them to the awkwardness of
setting in the objective case. The
word mice" is frequently misused,
and taken from its significance Of
neat, delicate, dainty, to stand for
agreeable, charming or virtuous.
Thus, the term "a nice girl" often
does duty in describing a young
woman who, whatever else she may
be- is more than nice if she is gentle,
good, winsome and well-bred, and
whose niceness ought to be taken
for granted. Lovely" in the same
way, is applied equally to a beloved
friend, fine painting, or a .favorite
pudding!

KANSAS RAILROADS.

A ticket agent: "People really are
averse to starting on a journey on Fri.
day. Our receipts on that day are only
about one-fourth what they are on the
other days Of the week. Saturday and
Sunday are the best days we have in our
business"
The Missouri Pacific railroad, through
it's traffic manager, has informed the
board Of railway commissioners that
they will transport all seed wheat free
of charge if it is sent by the board. The
Santa Fe company has made similar
proposition.
National Advertiser: One Of the most
curious forms of advertising of recent
date is that put forth by the Rock Island
railroad, which has installed an officer
on it's executive staff known as rainmaker
in chief. This man claims to be able to
produce rain at few hours notice, and
the company has hired him to keep towns
and cities along its road thoroughly
supplied with showers. So far his eff
forts have been very successful and the
railroad is enjoying boom that is turn
ing rival companies green with envy.
Kansas City Gazette: The Rock Island
railway company has been engaged since
Sunday in removing terminals from To
peka and other points to Kansas City
Kansas. This will be valuable acqui-
sition for the south side portion of the
city, or Armourdale, as we'll as for the
city at large. 1t will make this city the
headquarters for the Rock Island train
service west Of the Missouri river, thus
succeeding Topeka to the benefits to be
thus derived, although as an actual fact
Kansas City has been the starting point
westward, Added to this eleven passen
ger engines are to be brought here
from st, Joseph, No., and some from
Horton, Kansas. Altogether about 20(
people will thus be brought to live ii
Kansas City, Kansas. In the future one
division will begin at this point and enc
at Phillipsburg, Kansas, and the mex
will extend from there to Denver.

Big Bank Notes.

1t is said that two notes fer one
hundred thousand pounds each and
two for fifty Thousand pounds each
were once engraved and issued. A
butcher who had amassed an i'm
mense fortune as an amy contractor
in war. time went with one of the
fifty thousand pound notes to pri-
vate banker, asking for loan Of five
thousand pounds, and wished to de-
post the large note as security with
the bank, stating that it had been in
his possession for several years, The
sum asked for was of course handed
over at once; but the financier took
occasion to hint to the holder the
folly of which he was guilty in hoard
ing such a sum and so sacrificing the
interest.
"That is all very true and sound
sense, sir" replied the man; "but l
likes the look O the critter so very
we'll that l have got t'other one Of
the same at home"
A wealthy but eccentric gentleman
in London once framed bank post,
bill for thirty thousand pounds and
exhibited it in his study At his
death, which occurred five years la
ter, the extraordinary picture was
promptly taken down from the wall
and cashed by his heirs.
1t is said that several years ago, at
a noblemans house in the neighbor-
hood of the Marble Arch, dispute
arose about a certain passage which
was declared to be scriutural. A
learned dean who was present deny
ing that there was any such text in
the sacred volume, Bible was called
for. After quite a search dusty old
Bible which had lain upon a shelf
since the death Of the peers mother
was produced. When the volume
was opened, book-marker was
found in it which upon examination
proved to be a bank post bill for
forty thousand pounds, Why it had
been placed there was never discov-
cred. Perhaps the lady had thought
it good means of inducing her son
to search the Scriptures.

AN example should be made Of
some Of the sharks who are conduct
ing swindling employment agencies"
and other bunko games designed to
fleece the unemployed in cities Dur
ing the present depression of business
more than the average number Of
persons are out Of work, and they are
correspondingly anxious to secure
employment. 1t is upon this class
that the bogus employment agent,
the bogus portrait enlarger, and the
individual who wishes to hire a clerk
"who has some capital" exercise their
wiles. OF all swindlers, these people
are the basest. They take from the
idle mechanic, the unemployed clerk
and the impoverished typewriter
their last dollar, without the inten.
tion or the ability to render any re-
turn. The sandbagger or the high
wayman is a prince compared with
these creatures, who prey upon those
least able to sustain the loss. The
police should take summary action
in regard to these swlndlers, and the
men who conduct them should be
started on the road to prison with
out any delay.

A BREAKDOWN, some time ago, Of
one set of engines Of one of the fast
transatlantic liners afforded a start
ling illustration Of the enormous cost
Of high ocean speeds. Part of the
trip during which the mishap Oc-
Cured was finished with the star
board engines alone Comparing the
three days run with the single set Of
engines with a corresponding period
on the previous voyage with both en-
gines running, the average ratio Of
the speeds in the two cases was found
to be as 0. 50 is to /. The loss Of one
half the propelling power had the
effect Of reducing the speed by only
IS per cent. This ought to give the
promoters Of 2s-knot steamship lines
something to think about.

Dipping a Law in Australia.

The Australian Government has a
law requiring all sheep to be dipped
in standard solution once a year,
usually in the spring. This law is
rigidly enforced, ana has been the
means of destroying the scab, which
was once a very great pest in that
country. While there Is compare
lively little scab in the States, the
annoyance Of ticks and lice has very
demoralizing effect upon both sheep
and fleece. Men often wonder why
the young lambs look so droopy and
1ifeless. An examination will often
reveal the fact that the yOungsuer
had literally robbed its poor old
mother of all the ticks she possessed.
The everlasting drillers have pumped
her for blood and made life burden,
and they are quick to transfer their
membership to q new field as soon as
presented.
The necessity of dipping is almost
equal to feeding. 1t not only de-
stroys the parasite, but makes the
fleece bright and full of life, and is
better than a trip to Hot Springs for
the individual. National Sheepman.

little way in teaching how to protect
commerce.

THE maid servant problem ashore
takes the form aboard the ships Of
the United States navy of the man
servant problem. The conditions
there are simple enough. Once a
good set Of ward room servants is OBJ
tanned they may be kept during a
cruise by not giving them liberty in
port. They desert when this severity
is relaxed, and ship often gets
home from long cruise with a poly
glot outfit Of servants picked up at
different ports. The problem is how
to obtain men to do mental service ut
sea for wages no better than may be
had in more agreeable employments
ashore.
