Better Here Than There.

AS reported in the LIGHT San
Antonio has been visited by an
epidemic Of measles. Usually such
epidemics are of local character
but in this instance the epidemic
has extended all over America and
is raging in Europe. According to
Reynolds newspaper London) for
April 10, just received here, 1872 of
the 1887 deaths reported in London
for the week ending April 7, were
due to measles which exceeded by
2 to such serious causes as diph-
liberia, typhoid fever, consumption,
enteric fever, whooping cough, and
scarlet fever that usually predomi-
nate in England's cold, spring sea-
son. In such climate as England
measles is a serious case, while
here, in this delightful climate, it
is not severe, yields readily to med
ical treatment and rarely ends
fatally. The contrast is most fav-
orable for San Antonio.

HOW HE LIVES.
The Customs of San Antonio are
Benefit to the Invalid
and the Poor.

and the Poor.
"There is an old saying" said a
citizen to a LIGHT man, "that one
half of the world does not know
how the other half lives, and his is
unquestionably true, but | know a
fellow that lives pretty well, gets
all he needs, and yet he tells me
that his expenses are only about
20 cents per day. How does he do
it? Well, I'll tell you from what
he told me and from what | other
wise know. This man, | will call
Tom Jones, that's not his name,
but il will serve to point my tale.
He came from the north afflicted
with consumption, and secured a
place in dry goods store for he
was a good man and had fine Gre
dentials. But before long his
health obliged him to quit, and for
the past six months he has been
unable to work and earn a living.
An acquaintance gave him per-
mission to sleep in his store, and
he had a little cot for that
purpose. He had a little
money but having no friends or
means Of procuring more, he was
anxious to economic, to make it
last as long as possible for he had
a horror Of becoming either a
pauper or a beggar. So he arranged
his dietary accordingly. He had
small oil stove and before the
store opened had a breakfast Of
hot coffee and bread and butter.
About eleven he would go to a sa-
loon where they served a good hot
lunch, buy a glass of beer and get
that lunch which served for his
dinner. In the evening he would
go to a saloon where cold luncheon
was displayed ad lib and by spend
ing nickle for a glass of beer get a
fair supper. Later on in the even
ing he would repeat his coffee and
bread and butter in the store and
retire to his room with the inner
man we'll satisfied. Thus he lives
well at about 20 cents per day or
$l.4O a week, and he says that he
never felt more satisfied when he
paid big board bill. And do you
know that | am satisfied that the
only dinner many of our unem-
ployed wOrkmen get is a good free
lunch, though, of course, they are
too proud to brag of it. question
much whether the Relief society
has given away so many good
meals at the price of a ) cent glass
of beer as some Of the saloon-keep.

And They Brought it Back.

A certain cheese dealer had a lot
of cheese which was anything but
good, and, tired of seeing the stuff
about, told his assistant when he
had closed the shop to leave one of
the condemned cheeses at the door
for someone to walk off with.
Thomas occasionally crept to a
window to see operations, and at
length went to his master, grinning
all over his face, saying the cheese
was gone.
"Leave another out tomorrow
night" was the masters order,
which was obeyed by the shopman,
who, after a few peeps next eve.
ming, walked to his master in the
counting house, scratching his
head, and looking. as though some
great disappointment had befallen
him.

A VERY VETERAN.
He Was Accustomed to Cyclones and
Did Not Mind a Little Blow.


Did Not Mind Little Blow.
1t was a tempestuous night on
the Atlantic, and the great steamer
with its precious freight of human
lives was tossed about like cookie
shell, says the Detroit Free Press.
The tremendous waves hurled
themselves against the walls of
steel, and, dashing in impotent
fury over the decks, shook the levi
athan from bOwsprit to rudder-
post. Fo one was visible about the
ship except such of the crew as
necessity compelled to face the
storm, and they were in imminent
danger every moment. The pas
sengers in mortal terror were hud-
died together in the cabin below.
Just as a frightful blast had al
most thrown the ship on her BEAM
ends, the officer of the deck saw a
passenger strick his frowzled head
up through the hatchway.
"Get back there" yelled the
officer.
"Say, Cap" came an answering
yell, "is the roof gone yet?"
"NO, get back there"
"Have any of the walls give in
yet >"
"No, get back, tell you"
elias the old woman or the child
rem been blowed out of the second
story window yet ?"
acct back, l tell you, no."
"None of the neighbors been
blowed in through the shed roof
yet ?"
"No, no, 1 tell you get back
down that hatchway, you blamed
fool" and the officer started for the
passenger.
"Tain't so bad as l thought it
was" came a final yell, and the
passenger lodged into the depths
below and disappeared.
"Well, who in thunder was that"
asked the officer of the purser, who
stood by.
"He's all right" hOwled the pur
ser, she comes from the cyclone
district in Kansas"

Most OF Vance's stories have

again and again, sometimes tagged

Handy in the Chicago Inter- Ocean.

In one of his campaigns for the
governorship he was riding along
a country road when he met VEN

clothes. 1t was Vance's habit to
talk to every body he met in these
electioneering tours.
"Well, uncle" he said, "you're

"Oh, yes, boss; OATS my faith"

The old man scratched his head,
his religious convictions struggling
with his desire to be polite, but,
