WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10.
ALAMO STREET, SOUTH.

There is scarcely a day, never a
week, in which the attention of the
LIGHT is not called to the condi-
ton OF Alamo street, and the Won
der expressed that so important a
th%Oroughfare should be left in such
an Internal condition. Even the
road to hell is said to be pared
with good intentions, = but this
street is not even as we'll off as
that, for the council" seems to
have no intention of paving it at
all. Here it is, a narrow street,
opening within one block of the
most beautiful plaza of the city,
continually travelled, and yet for
whole, blocks it has no a cross-walk
on it, is today a sea of mud
from curb to curb and compares
unfavOrably with the worst
country c%rOssroad in the state.
Running for two fullblocks within
half a lot and less of the river, no
provision has been made for it's
surface drainage. The water and
must today are ankle deep all over
1T and every pedestrian who passes
along its walks is in danger Of
having every article of outer cloth
ing ruined by the %splashing mud
from which there is no escape,
The condition of that street is an
everlasting disgrace to the city adj
ministration an outrage upon the
taxpayers of the ward an imposi-
ton upon the thousands of pedes-
TRANS who pass over it's mud
splashed sidewalks every twenty
four hours. Relief has been prayed
for and hoped for from
every successive administration
until hope deferred has made
that entire section of the city
heartsick. AS it has been in the
past so it is likely to be. The
LIGHT has protested until protests
are of no avail ; complained until
complaints are monotonouis de-
manded until demands are damned
and all to no good end. II the
devil had to traverse such a thor
oughfare in order to reach his vic.
tins there would be fewer temp
tations in the world than there
are. The LIGHT respectfully in
forms the ladies and gentlemen
whose walking suits are ruined
on South Alamo street that it has
done all in its power to prevent it,
but without avail, and asks to be
absOlved from farther duty in the
premises.

The terrified mules felt that they

Baxter staggered down the trail,

he turned up the canyon to find the

The Tragedy of Two Butterflies In tn
Far North.

The Tragedy of Two Butterflies In tho
Far North.
1t was spring far up in the north
where happiness and spring are as feet
Ing as the lives of butterflies.
Around sparkling red rose that had
Just unfolded it's leaves futtered pair
of butterflies:
As fire beamed the rose and the but
terfiies were filled with fear A mystic
power held them fast-narrower ever
narrower became their circles.
They seated themselves upon the
edge of the rose. Tremblingly their
wings beat-they shivered and were
afraid. But the dark fed depth allured
them as charm.
The butterflies glided down and the
rose closed its leaves over the pair
Oh, that blissful eternity which they
dreamed away in the heart of the rose.
Feeble and subdued, a rosy twilight
pierced the daylight through the closed
leaves. The world was far, far away,
a. miles distant breakers of the sea
sounded its noises and doings overhead.
Too much happiness isolatedl The
pair of little butterflies believed they
were alone in the large whole world.
Yes, the people and the earth had per-
ished for them, and only their bright
red rose still glowed in infinite space.
They knew not whether they lived mo-
iments or for eternity.
Eternity-oh!
A cold blast of wind comes that way
and strips the red rose of its leaves.
The shelterless butterflies whirl as
withered leaves through the thick gray
fog. They lose each other-"Farewell.
forget me notl''
The request was blown away by the
wind.
Oh, loye! Oh, happinessl Universal
showers that live only 81 long as a
5tsa Of lightning. -Tfsa The German.
