A FAMOUS HYMN.
How "There Is Happy Land" Came to
BE Written.

How "There Is Happy Land" Came to
BE Written.
A short time ago, in the course OF my
work as reporte., found myself in
low saloon waiting for the proprietor.
/ had noticed as came in three men
and q boy playing cards in corner.
Dirty and unkempt, coarse and loud
voiced, their hands came down on the
table with bang each time card was
played, while through the game rum
ming fire of profanity was kept up,
punctuated by the sound of the tobacco
juice as it spattered on the dirty floor
turned my back on them and was
thinking of other things when l was
brought back to my surroundings by
the strains OF a hymn, the first ever
learned SO long ago in such different
place. The boy was softly singing to
himself:
There Is happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints In glory stand,
Bright, bright as day.
Oh, how they swcetly sing,
Worthy is our Saviour King,
Loud let His praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye
My mind flew back to the night when
I heard these same words sung by lit
tie band of Jamaicans in the swamps
of Aspinwall, and further back still to
the time when in Edinburgh | heard
them in their authors classroom.
The music coming from the cradle OF
the race, the words telling of the far
away goal this hymn seems peculiarly
fitted for the worldwide fame it has
won. OF the millions who have sung
there are perhaps few who know how
it came to be written, have the story
direct from the author, whose Bible

An Arctic Traveller Tells About the CLOTH
Ing Worn.
1t is strange how soon one becomes
accustomed to and adopts the customs
of the country in which one sojourns.

uppers and legs, as may be desired, with
walrus skin solcs, worn with an insole
of dry grass were the first articles of
apparel adopted. They are the most
comfortable have ever worn. They
arc also the most clumsy looking.
But one soon forgets about the ap-
pearance, and person with n pair of
American-made leather boots or shoes
looks as much out of place as an Esqui-
mau would on the streets of Portland
with his parka (coat), hood and boots
on.

fur coats made of reindeer, seal, squir-
rel, mink skins, etc, but most of the
party are provided with the.

USEFUL GARDEN TOOLS.
Two Handy Implements for Berry Patch

The illustration represents two i'm
plements which we have found very
useful in the berry patch and garden.
We had them made by country black
smith, after models of our own. They
cost very little, as we put the handles
on ourselves. We have used the hook
to cut out old canes from several acres
of raspberries, and think it is just the
thing to use as pruning hook fol

also bring his team down here and
President Won der Abe, of the st.
Louis Browns will make tour of
the south with that famous team.
All the big league teams that
will come to Texas next spring will
of course visit San Antonio, as the
circuit will not be complete with
the Alamo City not included. 1t
is customary with the National
League clubs to tour the country
every spring and play exhibition
games. This is done in order to
get the players in shape for the
championship season, which opens
the latter part of April.
San AntOnio's climate is excel
lent for athletic training pur-
poses, and the Alamo City should
endeavor to secure these clubs ev-
cry spring, as they would do a
great deal towards advertising the
town. In any event, San AntOnians
will have surfeit of good things
in a baseball way next spring.

After unprecedented runs of one
hundred nights and over, in the
principal cities of the country, the
lovers of droll, humorous and RI
diculous comedy still eagerly watch
for the coming of ''The Masked
Ball" to give it an ovation such as
none other has ever received. This
comedy has not only been a sue
cess in America; it has also been a
European success, having been
presented for over four hundred
nights in Paris, and over three
hundred nights in London. In
"The Masked Ball" Mr.. FrOhman
has secured a comedy whose career
will be long and successful, and it
is doubtful if any comedy can ever
take it's place in the mind of the
public, to which it has become at
present part and parcel of its eXis-
tence. 1t will be presented at the
Grand opera house for two nights,
