glory and its shame. The effort
was to frame a revenue measure
with as much leaning towards

WATERWoRKs' CONTRACT.

The text OF the new Waterworks
contract, given in yesterdays
LIGHT, tells the exact truth as to
what the company offers to the
city of San Antonio. This amend
ed contract reduces the yearly
amount of water rate charged the
city from $4,000 to $4,000, a clear
gain to the city of $4,000 annually.
1t reduces the water rate to all
consumers twenty per cent, which

additional reduction of $4,000 an
nually. 1t gives the city in
addition to the fire hydrant
service within prescribed fire limits.

the service for sprinkling the
streets that of a free supply for
flushing sewers and water closets
for each water taker and water
closets free when required by tho
city at the demand of a sanitary
inspector and free water for the
city parks and plazas. 1t absolves
the city from all obligation to bid
for the WaterwOrks plant at the
expiration Of the present contract,
nine years hence, and leaves the
city free to put its own
plant in operation without
any reference to the effect it may
have upon the WatGrworks proper.
ty in reducing its valuation. These
are the benefits secured to this city
and the citizens by the amended
contract offered them: a saving
over present expenses OF $4,000
annually; a largely augmented
water service for fire, street, park
and plaza purposes, and free ser.
vice for sewers and one water closet
for each water taker.
All that prevents the city
from accepting this liberal propo

upon section "FOurteen" of the
contract, which the Council con

clear, cold, winter day. Mrs. Carewe
glanced over the top of the silver
coffee-urn at her liege lord, with look
of mild interest in her deep, dark
eyes.
"a dream! Why, Arnold, thought
you did not believe in such thingsr'
she exclaimed. Then, at the sight of
the gravity of his face, her own grew
concerned. "What was it?" she
eagerly asked.
"Well, of course, Il was only q

say the least, it was odd that 1 should
dream, the same thing over-in every
particular - exactly alike, three
blessed times last night. 1t seems a lit

far distant, and the knowledge of ii

it is only dream-and therefore not

down, and the small, white hand
trembled visibly.
"Oh, Arnold" was all that she could
say. ''But, after all, we need put no
faith in dreaml 1t is like believing
in n fortune-teller's predictions. You
remember how implicitly win Brad

doomed to die before his thirtieth
birthday just because two different
predictions TO that effect had been

three months and over since he passed
safely into the thirties, and he is we'll
and strong as ever. Bah! l have no
patience with such foolishness. 1t is
childish! Arnold, you must not think
of such thing"
"All right, my dear, / will not" re-
turned her husband, obediently. But
in his heart he was saying: Il could
no more help it than can live with

that have warned Bessie, l will say
no more to annoy her."

Men Versus Women Cooks.

"Men are, as a rule, better cooks
than women" This sentence from a
recent number of the Rural New
Yorker prompts me to write what
heard one day last October in the as
sembly rooin of the women's building

had been a symposium on Foods" by
various spea kers, including Mrs. Rorer
and the famous vegetarian Mrs. La
Favre. Just as the chairman was
about dismissing the audience, tall,
dark Dane came to the platform and
begged the privilege of saying few
words. Permission granted, he began
by saying he was probably the best
informed man on the subject of foods
in the world, as he had made the
foods of all nations and the conditions
under which they were eaten his life
study-he was, perhaps, As years old
and that his library on foods was the
most complete in existence on the
subject. Later Mrs. Rorer vouched
for the truth of these two statements.
But the point / aimed at in begin
ming was that he said: 1.-THE Lord

he said, docs not like TO cook, nor
does she care to eat save to preserve
life-she does not enjoy eating as n
man does, and if there is no man
around her home for whom she must
cook she does not cook for herself,
but just eats whatever comes handy
from the bakcshop or pastry cook. -
lie said further that he had never met
a good cook of our scx-and he had
seen cooks of both sexes in many
countries-and that though women
might I'll most other positions taken
by men she could not fill the place Of
a good cook. That was all re had
to say and he bowed himself cat.
