The natives Of Ceylon have a
SUI perstition that the cocoanut tree
will not grow GU of the sound of a
human voice, and it is only near
the towns and villages that these
trees are found. 1t is sure an index
that if lost in the jungle the sight

a never-failing landmark to tell
you that village is at hand. 1t

it's usefulness to the natives. every
part of the leaves, stem and fruit
being put to use. These are a few
of the countless uses of the invalu-
able tree: The leaves are used for

for the cattle. The stems of the
leaves for fences, yokes for carry
ing burdens on the shoulder and
numerous domestic utensils. The
sap for making vinegar and sugar.
The uniformed nut for medicine
and sweetmeats. The young nut
for drinking and dessert. The oil
for rheumatism, for amounting the

After Davis had completed the
the job he started across the street.
His wife followed closely behind
him and held in her hand a SO cali
Der pistol, cooked, and ready for
business, saying: cpl kill him,

Someone, however, took the wea.
pom away from her and she insisted
on having it, because it belonged
to her. Her mother was heard to
say: "That's your pistol. He's got
no right to take it away from
you"
The police had been telephoned

A Novel Sight.

Pedestrians along Houston street
and Alamo plaza were treated to
rather novel sight last night at
about 10 80 o'clock.
A Mexican driving three dom
keys hitched to an old time "Ca-
retta" containing all the house
hold effects, clothing and cooking
utensils, belonging to his family,
and a small two-wheel cart at
tached to the caretta on which
was coop of"Gallos," (roosters) and
"Gallias" (hens). Bringing up the
rear was the MeXican's wife on foot
leading a jennet with a donkey
colt and a yellow dog, "an indie
spensable companion on a move of
this kind" and last, but not least,
the cavallero's daughter leading
another species of the canine fami-
ly.
Prompted by curiosity, a re-
porter for the LIGHT hailed the
grand marshall of this unique
procession and making col
lection Of all the Spanish
vocabulary at his command
questioned him as to whence he
came and where he was bound for.
To this his marshallship replied,
that he had comeall the way. from
old Mexico by wagon route with
his family, and that his destina-
ton was San Marcos whittier he
was going to pick cotton.
The reporter was about to put
another question when an electric
car happened along, and the dom
keys, evidently never having seen
any of these self-propelling convey
ances, took fright and started in a
run across the plaza with the Mex
lean holding on like grim death
until he succeeded in pacifying the
dumb, but melodious animals.

KILLING BASS WITH BLow-aUN.

South American Method introduced
by Fisherman on the Potomac.
From the Washington Post
"Hou can talk about gill nets and
dynamite and trout lines for kill
ing fish," said an old river man the
other day, "but there's a man here
in town that's got the greatest
scheme I've struck yet and he's
killing enough fish with it to stock
a boarding house. He don't do a
thing but just shoot 'em, he don't.
/ see him up the Lowgrounds a
week or two back with a string Of
bass that must er weighed 10
pounds. And blame me eff he
hadn't killed 'em all with a spit
ball blower.
"He had a little grass pipe, about
1 feet long and as thick as your
finger, and a lot Of little arrows
made out Of fish hooks straigh-
tened out and cotton wrapped
around the end. He was walking
quiet.like along the edges Of the
long ponds the low water left in
the low grounds, and when he'd
See one of the big bass that had got
landlocked by the water going
down, and there's lots of 'em up
there, he'd just let fly his blowgun
at it and knock 'em through 6
inches of water every time. He
had a silk thread to his arrows, and
hauled his fish in with it, and as
he'd hit 'em back of the gills, they
hardly kicked.
" l tell you it didn't hardly look
natural, going fishin' that way,but
he jest laughed when l spoke to
him and said he learned the trick
from the Indians down in South
America. Down by the water he
had some places ground baited,
and see him kill big 3-pound
catfish dead as hammer, and he
shot one of his little fish. hook
arrows half way through a carp
about % feet long. l been fishing
night on thirty years now one way
and another, but l swear never
see a man kill fish that way before

The board of directors of the
Mission Bowling club will hold a
meeting next Sunday morning to
act upon an invitation of the New
Braunfels club for a bowling
match. The Missions have defeat
ed the New Braunfels team twice,
once at New Braunfels and once at
San Antonio and the New Braun

the sport until they had new alleys
constructed. Now that the New
Braunfels team has had two new
alleys built, which are considered
the finest in the state, being made
of maple wood, they want a ego"

ONLY TO SEE his BOY.
Conductor Davis Ire Worked Up by
His Wife and Mother-in-Law.

His Wife and Mother-in-Law.
Nose Davis, a popular conductor
on the Southern Pacific, created
quite a little excitement at his res
idence, at No. S05 Avenue d, yes
terday afternoon about 4 80 o'clock.
Davis is being sued by his wife,
Ollie May, for divorce and alimony
on the grounds of cruel treatment.
They were married about four years
ago and have one child, a boy,
named Henry, about three years of
age. Davis had his mother-in-law
living with him, and he is said to
be "as nice man as one cares to
meet" by all who know him.
Davis wanted to see his little son
and sent word to the house to that
effect yesterday morning. 1t seems
he received no reply and called
around the place in the afternoon
himself, after consulting a lawyer
as to his rights in the matter. On
arriving at the place and making
inquiries he received no response.
He concluded no one was at home
and went to saloon across the
street "to wait until the folks re-.
turned"
In the meantime he summoned
colored boy to go across the
street, knock at the door and ask
for Mrs. Davis. The boy followed
instructions and received an an
swer that she was home.
Accordingly, Davis came over
and raped at the door. Several
minutes elapsed before the door
was opened, but lot until the little
son peeped through the blinds and
said: ooh, mamma, there's papa
Mosew The little fellow immedi-
ately went to'his father, who sat on
the front porch, and he placed his
proud boy on his lap and talked
very atfectionately to him.
The father then walked around
the house with his son in his arms
talking and laughing, when he was
suddenly attacked by Mrs. Davis
and her mother and given
a severe tongue lashing. This
was too much for Davis,
and carefully placing the little
boy on the ground, he rushed into
the house, grabbed an axe and be-
gan smashing the furniture. The
little boy cried and the women
screamed and crash went the fur
niture. This, of course, aroused
the entire neighborhood and in a
short while the place was crowded
with people.
Someone rushed into the house
and said: "Now, Davis that will
do" He replied: "That's my
furniture 1 am breaking, and Pve
got right to do with my stuff
what want to-" 1t was noticed
that he did not touch any.

Questionable Tactics in Ward d.

When the Democrats made their boast
that they would carry Ward 4, it was with
tia evident determination to make their
words good if ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain would do it. The incidents
mentioned the other morning, the donation
of the product of Sidney bog to a man
whose stock was in need Of hay and the
bequest of strip of tough brisket to
hungry man, are not all that will
form part of the history Of the con-
hct in Ward t. There is man liv-
ing in that ward, hard working man,
with a family to care for who hasn't been
able to accumulate much of this worlds
goods, and is now trying to find out whether
he will be permitted to vote at the coming
election. The reason for his doubt is as
follows, according to his own story: II lead
ing Democrat n the city WAS in the nei2hbor-
hood AMI c,lle at the house. The caller
noticing that the children had no overshoes
remarked on it and said they should have
some rubbers. The father WAS absent but the
mother said she guessed they could get along
as they were not obliged to 60 out in the
worst weather. But the caller said, "You
Just make application and you can have the
rubbers without its costing you anything"
To this the woman, without understanding
the full meaning, consented to receive the
rubbers for the little ones. When the
the father came home, however, he mistrusted
cat under the meal and rejected the prof
fers of aid from the city. But his name
had gone on the list of those helped by the
town and he has been told that he cannot
vote. If his story is true one, and there
appears to be no doubt of it, he will be quail
flied to vote and it isn't likely that his bal
lot will go to help the Democrats carry

in this manner as is the entire basem mt Of
the institution, the infirmary, laundry, en-
zine room, barns and other cut bulldogs,
new tramway has been laid connect

TWAS found frequently that in taking the
immense amount of clean clothing from
the laundry back to the hospital proper by
wagon running through the grounds
the clothing was liable to get damp. The
new tramway avoids that danger and is a
great convenience.
A very agreeable change has been made
in the oil infrmary in the south wing of
the ola hospital, the wards where the diph-
thereto patients were isolated before
the new infrmary was built. These old
rooms have been thoroughly Quilted
They were first disinfected. Then
the plastering was removed and some of
the inner walls were torn away. New hard
wood floors were lail, new finish was put
in and the rooms throughout thoroughly
renovated SO that they are now as desirable
as any in the institution. An improved
heater was put into the basement in this
wing. Fresh dir is taken from the outside
passes over coils of steam pipe and then ex

suite of rooms &C the right. of the main
entrance on the first floor will be occupied
