The farm Is the chief and best
school for the training of capable
men in the country, writes Albert
Shaw in the Review Of Reviews
Farm lads are learning real things,
while the town boys too often are
merely studying In books the pale re-
Election OF things The farmer boy
knows early about land and soils;
about crops and their rotations; about
the seasons and the weather and the
signs OF the sky. He grows up in
familiar acquaintance with animals
He owns dog, he has a favorite
horse, he rides wild colts, he feeds
the horned cattle. He helps in the
planting and in the harvesting He
Is usually versed in wood lore and
knows trees and plants, birds, squir-
rels, rabbits and groundhogs. He
hunts with gun and goes fishing.
He develops superb health. He helps
repair the fences. He learns about
tools and masters the complexities of
farm machinery. In short, the range
OF his practical knowledge becomes
very great. There is more reading
done in our farm nelghbOrhoods than
in our cities; and the good typical
farm home has its newspapers always
and its magazines quite frequently.
Nor are the district schools so infe-
rior, though their quality varies much
from year to year. With a good
teacher in charge, the country dis
trict school Is better than the city
graded school, because it is more free
from mere machinery and better
adapted to develop the individuality
OF pupils Hundreds OF men and
women of high standing and wide
experience to-day are thankful for the
little wooden country school-house OF
their childhood days. in which the
educational methods pursued were
infinitely more scientific and valua-
BILE than those now followed in many
of our city schools

Future of the Horse Breeder,


The future of the horse. breeder
seems to be matter Of moment at
this time. The advent of electricity
as a motor for surface cars is displac.
ing large bodies of horses that were
formerly used for such purposes To
this we must add roads that are u.s.
Ing ard are about to adopt cables
These throw on the market large
contingent of animals. The presence
of such volume of horses, far in ex-
cess OF the needs OF buyers, ruins
prices The bicycle is another factor
that is replacing the horse in some
degree. Its extended use in the near
future will enlarge this very materi-
ally. Yet with this decreased de-
mand the supply does not indicate
diminution. The breeder seems to
be intent on the production of that
class Of horse in largest quantity for
which there is least inquiry. The
demand which the surface railroads
created for horses while they de-
pended on them for motive power is
rapidly passing away in every section
OF the country. The class of animals
suited for that work will gradually
disappear. Under these changed
conditions we believe the breeders
would do wisely if they paused long
enough to learn the demands of the
horse market of the immediate fu-
ture. That these will be circum-
scribed is evident when the causes we
have mentioned are recalled. OF
course, the farmer will breed the
horse that best meets his require.
ments, but the breeder must await
the settling of the market that it
may formulate the classes of horses
that are most profitable for him to
breed and ell.-American Dairyman.

Sweet on Reporters.

Some of the men and boys Of
this city have an idea that they
can go on "hurrah," be arrested,
and then have the matter kept a
secret by putting on a sweet face
and with a 2for 5-cent cigar, re-
quest the reporters to keep their
names out Ofthe newspapers, thus
saving their disgrace, etc. After
the reporter complies with the
many requests, he is barely recog-
nized the next day. If the recorder
deems it advisable to assess a fine
against man, the matter is then
of public interest, and will be pub
lished regardless of requests.

A Crook Caught.

Ben We'll is the name of man
who came to San Antonio last
winter "On his uppers," being pen
niless and without a home. He
secured employment at the Star
theatre, and nightly sold beer for
period of three months. He was
then discharged, and went to
Annie Howard, who runs a saloon
on East street, and put up a pitt
full talk. Annie gave him posi-
ton as bar tender. and he worked
there until Monday night. when
he was arrested and jailed on the
charge of being a suspicious char
acter
From the evidence heard in
court, We'll had been doing a sys-
tematic stealing from the Howard
saloon, and was caught at his
crooked work Monday night.
Officer Ellis passed the saloon just
in time to see We'll run out and
down the street. The officer went
after him, and after a hard chase,
captured him and lodged him in
the lookup. Mayor Paschal heard
the VariOnS witnesses testify, and
then said: CPL fine you $40
or twenty days" We'll is now in
prison, as he had no money to pay
his fine, and will be sent out on
to the streets to work for that
length of time.

MEMS TROUSERS
Wanted to Cut an Officer.

About s o'clock last night Officer
Porter was in the act of arresting
a man at Lille Snyder's saloon, on
the corner of East and Houston
streets, when Frank Jones,a tough
character, stepped up, pulled out a
knife and attempted to stab the
officer. The latter was too quick
for him, and Jones was soon lodged
in the city Jail on the charge Of dis
orderly conduct. He was tried by
Mayor Paschal in police court this
morning and fined $25. This
amount Jones did not have and he
went to Jail for twenty-five days.

THEY COMPROMISE.
Saloons Will Close Part of the Day
The Screen and Minor Laws
To be Enforced.

-Ihe screen ana minor Laws
To be Enforced.
The great Sunday closing fight
has come to a close. The commit
tee Of twenty-five and the San An
tonic Liquor Dealers association
have agreed to compromise, and
the war is declared ended.
Last night there was a meeting
of the committee of twenty-five in
the FAIamo Insurance building,
which lasted until quite a late
hour. The question discussed was
whether or not to accept the offer
of compromise made by the sa-
loon men. Finally after a "hOt
time" 1t was decided to accept the
proposition as follows:
That all saloons should close on
Sundays from 10 a. IN. to 3 p. m.
That the screens should remain
as they are, and they are now I'M
derStood to be down.
That the minor laws should be
observed and as the saloons who
pay 5000 year for the privilege of
selling liquor can not compete with
those who sell without a license,
it was resolved that the license
laws should be strictly enforced.
Both the committee and sa-
loon men claim the victory and
are boasting of the manner in
which they "gained their point"
The saloon keeper would never
have offered to settle the matter in
this way, had it not been for the
way the officers of the law were
being prosecuted, and the officers
all being in sympathy with the sa-
loon element, the association deem
ed it best to protect their friends,
the officers.
Since this question has been sat
isfactorily settled between the
committee and saloon men, all of
the cases for violation of the Sun
day law against the saloon keepers
of the city have been dismissed.
The Liquor Dealers association
has written the following letter to
Mr.. R. w. Andrews, one of the
committee of twenty-five:
In order to correct the impression
that the saloon men were carrying
on fight against Mr.. r. w. An
drews, the San Antonio Liquor
Dealers association has written
him the following letter:
ave, the Liquor Dealers assOcia-
ton of San Antonio bear no en-
nifty toward Mr.. r. w. Andrews.
We recognize in him a cOnscien-
tiOus man, true to his friends and
honest with his enemies, and there
never has been on our part any in
tention or desire to injure him or
his.

Raided Disreputable Houses.

1t has been just six months since
the houses of ill-fame in this city
were raided by the county, and at
that time each inmate was fined 81
and costs, amounting to about SIG.
Yesterday the constable and his
deputies made another raid and ar
rested all of the women occupying
these places. There are a number
who cannot be located, and a num-
Der fined 6 months ago, who have
left the city. Those who were ar
rested yesterday will be arraigned
before the justices of the peace to-
morrow for trial, on the charge of
vagrancy, tO-wit being disreputa-
BILE characters. 1t is understood
that some of the defendants will
fight their cases, and if fined will
give notice of appeal. How the
matter will terminate, however, is
not known.

A BOY RUN OVER.
Another Unfortunate Accident to
an Unlucky Family.

Another Unfortunate Accident to
an Unlucky Family.
Some weeks ago the LIGHT
chronicled an unfortunate accident,
which happened to young Scott
Brown, lad II years of age, who
fell from a mulberry tree, and
crushed his skull. He is partly
recovering from the effects of the
accident.
On yesterday afternoon, his
brother, Crosdale, aged l6 years,
also met with an untoward cOntre-
temps. While riding a bicycle down
Commerce street, when he was run
down by a wagon, which the driver
drove over him, and never even
stopped to see how badly the boy
was hurt. One of his legs was
crushed and he was internally in
jured. He was taken to his
mothers residence on Mesquite
street between Nolan and Dawson
streets, where he was at once given
medical attention. He and his
younger brother are the only sup
port of their mother and her large
family so the accident, which will
lay him up for a long time, if not
permanently disable him, will
prove great hardship to very
unlucky family.

THE TAILOR OF MANNHEIM.


He Invented a Bullet Prsof Coat, and,
Prestoi Kings Are at His Feet.
Who could have told before the other
day that Mannheim held her epoch
making tailor? Who even in Mannheim
knew it2 Mein Herr Dowe-the miracu-
lous, as he is discovered to be-was
known to his fellow citizens as a plain
schneider" Of whom something might
be made were it possible TO multiply
him by nine. And now where are the
nine men-barring the emperor, Prince
Bismarck and Count Won Capriyi-who
have stirred the fatherland as Herr
Dove has stirred it these few days?
A little while ago Herr Dove was so
impecunious that he was constrained to
beg the loan of the pistol wherewith he
has privately tried his experiment. This
moment he>nay if he like be rich beyond
the dreams of avarice. Emperors are
wiring" him, syndicates are clustering
round him, French and Russian spies
are trying to bag him, and German de-
tectives-as they appear to be-are foil
ing the spies. Most wonderful tailor!
Our correspondents account makes it
clear that the new coat of mail is rigid
garment which the warrior can put on
his breast when he faces the foe, or clap
on his back when he runs away from
him. But it strikes us that the miracu-
lous tailor has not and cannot solve the
serious problem Of impact. His coat of
mail can stop the swiftest bullet, but it
cannot destroy the force of the blow. Be-
cause q bullet is SO small thing, few
people, soldiers excepted, understand
how great its weight is at its terrific
speed A soldier receiving a bullet on
his coat Of mail would IN all probability
be knocked senseless for time.
We can fancy him slowly coming to
himself again. sitting up and leisurely
looking round about him to see how
things were going on. He has been tech
nically dead for, say, or 10 most pre-
cious minutes. But it is possible that if
80 or 40 per cent of his regiment were in
the same position they might just as
well, from the generals point of view,
pc physically dead for all time, and that
enough lives were saved the day might
be lost. A warrior Frustrated in that
manner might prove source Of perplex-
lty to the Red Cross rescuers and the
takers of prisoners. -London News.
