tenn. The dlscourag1ng part OF primary
work lies in just such incidents as the
above. You imagine that things are 60
ing smoothly, when the conceit is taken
out of you by such a failure. and your
work must be lone over. You take the
beginner and faithfully teach him a word
to-day. He knows it, can write it, can
find it on the printed page, and can read
it on the board. Now, you think there
is so much done; but wait till tomorrow.
You attempt to review yesterdays work,
and find, instead of a CLEAN of intelli-
gence in the face of the child, only a
blank look. You try to recall by various
means the last lesson. You tell stories,
YOU illustrate, all in vain. Your work of
Yesterday seems to have been thrown
away, and you must begin again. You
go over the ground again with a tri1e
less enthusiasm than before, and perhaps
again find yourself defeated, but it is the
only way. Again and again you must
go over the same work. Even the bright
ones will puzzle you by their periodical
knownothingism. 1t is indeed hard to
be interesting in your way of presenting
the same word, say for the 25th time.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
A PASSENGER THROWN FROM
A MOVING TRAIN.
Bright Budget of Railroad News
Gathered from Various Sources
by the LIGHT Rumbler.

On last Sunday night, as No. 2,
of the International and Great
Northern was going north, pas
senger was thrown from the train.
The passenger,whose name is given
as Otto Birtner, went out on the
platform while the train was under
full Roadway, and wanted to mail
a letter. This happened at the
sharp curve of the track between
Buda and Manchaca. No blame
can be attached to the railway
company, as it is in violation of
the company's rules and regula-
lions to go on the platform, while
the train is in motion. The man
had his wife on the train, and he
was not missed until Manchaca
was reached. Engineer George
Spangler, of No. 102, noticed some
one lying on the side of the track,
as he was coming south on No. |.
He stopped the train and picked
the man up to take him to the first
station, where medical aid was
summoned. He was then taken
back to Manchaca.
1t was found that the man had
deep cut in his head and he had
just regained consciousness when
found. He said he remembered
nothing of the occurrence.
RIVALRY BECOMES INTENSE.
About two miles south of San
Antonio the tracks Of the Southern
Pacific and the International and
Great Northern run parallel for
distance of about seven miles.
Every evening the south-bOund
passenger of the International and
Great Northern and the west
bound Southern Pacific run on
these tracks the entire distance.
The rivalry between the passen-
gers on both trains is naturally in
tense at this point, and it is the
desire of each faction to increase
the rate of speed on their respec-
tive trains, so they might overtake
their rival. The passengers some
times urge the conductors to in
struct the engineers to increase the
speed, but the ever-faithful
ticket punchers heed not to the
many requests, but keep their
trains within the limit of the rate of
speed required by law. They know
how many lives they have at stake
and act accordingly.
EXTENSION OF THE RAIN.
The rain yesterday extended east
on the Southern Pacific as far as
Columbus and west as far as Del
Rio.
On the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass it rained all the way between
Kerrville, Kennedy and Cuero.
The rain along the International
and Great Northern extended from
Taylor, north of here, down to Co.
tulla.
NAME OF STATION CHANGED.
At the request of the citizens of
Breckenridge station, forty-four
miles southeast on the San Anto-
Mo and Arkansas Pass, the road has
changed the name of the station to
Falls City, by which it will be
known in the future. This was
done to distinguish that station
from places in Texas of similar
names, which heretofore has Great
ed no little inconvenience in the
way of freight receipts. The freight

CASPER REALS DEATH.
One of Kerrville's Wealthiest Citi-

zens Passes Away.
News reached the city this morn
ing Of the death of Casper Real, of
Kerrville, last night. He was
about 60 years of age and was one
of the most noted German citizens
of Texas. He has brother, Adolph,
living at Martinez, about twelve
miles east of here and is also a
brother-in-law of Mr.. Fritz Schrein-
err, the popular ex-alderman OF this
city.
He was a staunch admirer of the
Beethoven MaennerchOr, of this
city. The association had cOntem-
plated to attend the funeral in
body, but were unable to come to
terms regarding special to Kerr
vile. There is a probability that
the association will attend, never
theless, and a decision will be
reached this afternoon.
He died Of paralysis of the heart
and leaves large estate, having
been one Of the wealthiest and
oldest citizens of Kerrville.

A Number of Crooks.

Captain T. J. Hughes stated to a
LIGHT reporter this morning that
there were a number of crooks in
the city now, and more coming
every day. AS long as they have
some means of support, and do
nothing for which an officer could
make an arrest, they will have to
be permitted to run at large.
The Captain says that he
is afraid there will be a
number of robberies, committed.
