A DUEL WITH DRINKS.
Each had a Reputation to Sustain,
and Sustained it.

and Sustained it.
Two men sat down to a small
table in a downtown club a few
evenings since for purpose. 1t
was to decide who possessed the
greatest capacity for white wine.
Each had the reputation which he
studIOusly sustained, of being able
to stand more fermented Juice of
the grape than the other, and their
criticisms of each other had be-
come so unbparable that interested
persons determined by opposing
the boosters to end or mend their
talk. So a grand match was ar
ranged.
On the evening before the test a
friend of the elder contestant, who
was a practical joker, approached
one wine drinker, and laying one
hand confidently on his shoulder,
spoke thus:
"LOok here, old man, speak as
friend. You've got reputation to
sustain tomorrow evening and the
other fellow hasn't. Now, as a
friend let me insist that you eX-
cept the bottle of wine /, as Judge
of the contest, shall prepare. They
will be filled with water"
A sad look Of hopeless despair
passed over his face. TO drink wa
ter, even though he won, was in
glorious; but to drink wine and
perchanCe lose, that was infinite
ly worse. The decision resulted in
an argument that lasted half an
hour, and the wine drinker was
then convinced.
On the evcntful night the two
men sat down 10 the table, six
bottles before them. The yOungc r
man was quick to the fray, the
elder despaired when he tasted
the pure, unadulterated water,
but he mastered his tastes and
drank with a cOnquering smile
When the sixth cork was drawn
each contestant stared at the other
This was wonderfully conducive to
cheerful feeling, and so they
promptly glared at one another
That made them rampantly joyous
Down came one pOnderOus fist on
the table, and it's owner, the elder
man, rOared out, "FOOl, how can
you win? Pm drinking water"
A wan smile passed over the face
of the younger man, as he family
murmured, $50 am ."

HAIR THAT NEVER CAME.
The Pompadour Non Est-No Hope
for Bald Heads Still Entitled to
A Seat in the Front Row.

Light representative, as mar
| tyr to the cause Of bald heads, put
himself under treatment of the
$50. called" wonderful Mexican
voudou doctor, Don Pedrito, and
reports his experience as promised
the readers of the LIGHT.
1t was on Tuesday, April 18th,
that representative of the LIGHT,
("of course there is only one who
has pelon head) so that our readers
will not be confused as to the per-
sonality of the martyr of this &C.
casion," visited Don Pedrito, and
stating his mission, and also the
paper he represented, found no
trouble in being ushered into the
presence Of his majesty, who, upon
examination, requested him to re-
turn the following morning,
Wednesday; and procure the rem
edy which he don Pedrito) in the
meantime would prepare and have
ready for him. Accordingly he
hied himself to the doctor, and re-
ceived as treatment a small piece
of soap, to all appearances ordinary
washing soap, and was told to rub
this,after being dipped in lukewarm
water, onto the place where in for
mer days he enjoyed a luxurious
growth of tresses, and now, alas,
was devoid of that pompadour
which he had ever prayed for
since the loss of his youthful clip.
Don Pedrito told him further to
procure a piece CT white soft domes-
tic, and after applying the soap,
just before retiring, to bind his
head with the cloth and retire, at
the same time be careful not
to expose the head cloth so
used, to the sun, but hide it in
some dark place after using.
all of which the reporter has faith
fully carried out, and still finds
himself as before. He will never
forget the disappointment OF
his first nights experience,
having bound up his head rather
too tight, the pressure or the
brain caused him to have a COM
bination dream and night mare in
which he pictured himself as hav-
ing grown most beautiful head Of
ha r; and in order to verify Il
truth of his dream arose from his
couch, turned on the electric Zig hit,
and to his disappointment found
matters in the same condition as
on retiring. With hope still in his
make up" he has continued the
treatment up to the present writ
ing, and if any of his friends can
point out one single hair more
than he was possessed of before
he will give unto him a gold
medal for being prevari-
Gator of the truth. So much
for Don Pedt rito and bald heads
all hope having vanished in that,
direction. The assertion made by
"The only" p. T. Barnum, that |
The American People" want to be
humbuged, holds good, and should
be taken in regular doses.

NOT so BAD.
A Light Man Makes a Trip to
Floresville, and Details
What He Saw.

Yesterday LIGHT man paid a flying
visit TO FlOreSvilIe. On he way down he
was escorted by the affable conductor,
Sid Tuttle. On arrival at the latter burg,
he found that, like other places, Flores
vile was feeling the ills that follow tinan-
cial depression and the drought, but a
good deal of solid business is being done.
The people are jubilant about the recent
rains, hat have done much for the far m
er, but they have not filled the wa er
holes, nor have they raised much grass
Building and Improvements are at a
Stand-still, but much Improvement has
been made in the past. He met Mr. z. r.
Trial, the labor writer, who was enthuSi-
astic over the POpulist cause, which has
many strong supporters in Wilson cOun-
ty, and he naturally believes that
the Populists will sweep all before
them at the next election. He visited
the "Chronicle" and "Citizen'' and found
the editors enthused with the love of
their city and the extent of their various
calculations, and wa not surprised The
county officers, all at their post, except
Sheriff XimeneS, who is sick at home,
seemed nice body Of men, as courteous
as could be desired, and seemed popular
with the people. AT night return was
made and good time under the guidance
of Conductor Luke.
1t should be noted that while the cOun
try between San Antonio and FloresviIle
was not all that could be desired every
thing looked green and healthy aud with
good rains there is no reason why fair
crop may not be realised.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con.
troll of the nerve centerS, located in or near
the base OF the BRAIN and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that serious injury 10 the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the Injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, 1t will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centerS VIII

which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds Of chronic diseases are due TO
the imperfect action of the nerve CenterS at
the base of the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ IT.
self. The great mistake OF physicians In
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS when
are the cause of the trouble.

cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with II, chief among
them being the facts contained in the ABOVE

1. Messrs. Printz and Grain are both
thorough druggists, each having had

both the physicians and the public. !
2. They are always pleasant and
obliging to every one who enters their

3. They have no clerk hire to pay,
their rent is reasonable, and their ex.
