GUESS RED AND BLACK.

Editor LIGHT:
Finding your enterprising journal Is
having another contest this week-as the
most popular salesman in your last con-
test desire TO say, Half enough justice
cannot be done, your last picture being a
resident of the Alamo City for the past
twelve years, and being quite familiar
with most of San AntOaio'S saIesm an and
salesladies, i desire to say,no one has more
friends, no one is more popular, no one
has done more to relieve distress, assist
the orphans. In fact a grander or nOber
boy than Emil Blum cannot be found in
the Alamo City, and the girl that cap
lures him in the lottery of love will be
idoliZed, honored and respected.
And now for the most popular saleslady
my vote is for a young lady that can be
considered par with the popular sales
man, Young lady friend, she has
many enemies none, gladly vote for Miss
Alice Black at Joske Bros, as the most
popular saleslAdy. Respectfully
Mrs. Z. Polk.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, June %, 1904
You offer a prize for any one who can
name the popular saleslady whose picture
you will print. That's rather hard. for
mamma trades at WoIfSOn'S, JOSke's,
Wolf & Marx. and at Haas & Open
heimer's, and we see so many ladies that
are pretty and kind that hardly know
what to say.
At WOlfsons, l think Miss Mile Matter
is nice and so does mamma; and when we
go to Haas & Opppenheimer's Miss Rosa
Martin is awful kind, but there is one
that ! think you mean, that is Miss
House at JOSke's. She is so kind when
we call, looks so sweet, and smiles on US
so Sweetly, and does not mind any trouble
to show US what we want and what we
don't want, and 10 sell it, And when
mother sends me she treats me well. |

say so.

But If I'm wrong, I'd like to say.

There's only one that rivals her,
That is sweet M. M. House.
At JoSke's store you'll find her sure,

MY GUESS.

| One day when at leisure
strolled down the street,
| The sun bright was shining,
| The birds sang so sweet,
| The bright CLOUDS were darting
| And were smiling so gay,
| The flowers were blooming
Nature was happy that day.
| / unused as / walked,
On the past and its blight.
Presently an urchin
AT my side cried, LIGHT"
"Only one copy left;
Evening LIGHT Daily, Sir?"
Yes, come here, little man,
VIII take a paper"
| glanced down the column
In a methodical way,
The picture of a popular saes-lady
Will be in the LIGHT Sa turday.
With a wrinkled brow, renewed ny

Presently conceived plan
| will go in the stores and see,
And find her if l can.
| " ent in about three,
Came out unSatisfed,
And was discouraged,
"Oh, enough I've tried"
But up rose before me
A poem, | read long ago,
About Try, Try Again."
ITS familiar to all, / know
So | went on to Wolfson'S,
There to act as spy,
And taking seat,
Watched the people go by.
One tall, handsome lady,
With smile on her face,
Attracted my attention,
As she moved round with grace
All" / thought, ''I'll watch her
And find out her name"
For | had an idea that
She and the picture were the same,
So many kept coming in
And calling for her,
That accosted clerk, saying:
Who is that lady. sir ?"
That lady is Miss Locke,
She has been in the store many a year:
She's favoriUe with customers,
And has many friends in here"
II would like her to wait on me,
As | have some things to buy"
With that he led me to her,
But when we got thereon my.
There were two or three already waiting
She was as busy as a bee,
So | said | would call again,
As thought the one looked for was
she.
Eureka, Eureka, I've found her at
lastn"
Was the cry that came to my lips,
felt as the bee who finds the flower
And the dew from the cup it sips.
The clouds were still smiling,
The sun ShOne as bright,
And darted his arrows
With all his might.
1t seemed as though. Diana,
The goddess of old,
Was pursuing the deer,
And shooting arrows Of gold.
The birds still sang merriy
And seemed me tn mock.
As | incOherently muttered:
My guess is Miss Locke"

Who shall in good faith name to you

The task is hard / fain must own.
For many are so pretty,
And some are charming in their way,
While others are so witty.
I'd like to have a hand in that,
And win poetic prize.
But at first sight il seems to me

And If you'll listen I'll tell why.
I've played the SefSame part,
But never Yielded judgment true
To feelings of the heart.
Some years ago. as stories tell.
Young Paris did the same,
Three gOddpSses before him stood
And sought for Beauty's fame
To Venus, in her lOvelinesS,
He gave the beauty prize,
She gave to him Helen fair,
And HELM world of signs.
Some time ago | was a Judge

And every one 10 school,

But when had decision made
They said it was not fair,
And every mother in the place

to give?
The City Electiou.

It s no small achievement for the Re
pubIicanS of Wheeling TO poll in city
primary within SIS as many votes a,
the Democrats polled for Congress in
the whole county in November lat
Those who took part in the primary
did so because Of their intention to sup.
port the ticket; but they are not all who
will support the Republican city ticket
this time. A large reserve force was
no. seen at the polls last Saturday, but
will be there on election day.
If the nominees bear themselves as
they should, and If the city organiza'
ton be as active and as efficient as the
county organization has been, the Re-
publican triumph in January will be
pronounced enough TO show that the
city has joined hands with the county
and the state and swung into the Re.
publican column.
To this end every Republican should
give his best endeavors. 1t is time for
a change, and this is a good time to
make 1t.

is in two styles, one high and peaked,
the other low, with something OF bell
crown and ornamented with rosette.
The distinguishing Characteristic oil
the crush hat is that it can DO crushed.
1t is TO be supposed, therefore. that the
benign Intent Vi CasIllOu 10 mo- 'N'S'J
woman shall take of her crush hat
when she enters the house OF amuse-

until she is ready to so out.
The meaning OF all this is that once
more the stage and players are to be in
evidence, as they cannot DO with the
big, bold, broad hats and high hats
with which piay.going folk have until
now been afflicted.
II Fashion shall succeed in bringing

set up the reign OF the crush hat. Then
we may gee the preacher and the choir
