SAN ANTONIO.
The M )st Unique of All Southern
Cities, New Orleans Not Ex-
oantaI

cepted.
Written for the LIGHT by Rev. Shultz
A few years ago visited Hous,
ton and asking my companion
what attractive places there were
for us to visit, l got the answer
There is no place here except the
cemetery. And the old ceme-
terry is a beautiful spot. There was
no other place of Importance
pointed out to me.
The City of Galveston has it's
beach, but aside from that there
are hardly any places worthy Of
mention except the so called Gar
den Nerein" park. Dallas has one
nice park besides its mud harbor
with one vessel (the "Harvey'O in
port, and Fort Worth has no park
at all. Even New orleans with all
its southern character from Canal
street to French market has soon
shown the traveller everything
there is to be seen.
San Antonio is the most unique
of all the southern cities which |
have visited and il there is a COM
parison between any two OF them.
it is the cosmopolitan character of
New Orleans and San Antonio.
What the old.fashioned Frenc h
represent in the former city the
Mexican element gives quaintness
to in the latter.
AS in the French quarter in New
Orleans, everything is shut up
closely-in the Mexican portions Of
San Antonio everything is wide
Open-but otherwise the narrow
winding streets, the antedated
architectures Of the buildings and
the un. American customs OF a
large population, give the two
cities the appearance Of sistership.
A PATRIOTIC REFLECTION.
What wonderful thing is his
tory. When in March, 1896, a
handful OF brave men defended the
Alamo against the Mexican army,
to be mastered to the last man,
who could then have dreamed that
the Alamo would some day be in
the very heart OF the city, an eter-
nal monument to Texas patriotism
and devotion: And every year, on
the Dist day of April, the same bat
tie is fought over again, not as on
that terrible day with iron for
! blood, but battle OF beauty and
love-the Battle Of Flowers. So
out OF the darkness and terror Of
the past there shall arise the
prince OF peace over the world, en-
tering the hearts OF man aud unit.

and love.

Thrifty English Tramps.

Two nights l slept in straw-stacks,
and each time had fully dozen
companions. They called themselves
free dossers," and in one way they
were rather amusing-in fact, a new
species Of tramp; they were determined
net to spend copper of what tney
begged, writes Josiah Flynt in the Cen
tury.
1t seems that this sort of fellows start
out from London early in the spring,
and batter" all summer In the au-
tumn they return to London with their
"swag," and spend the winter in some
comfort. On their travels they either
beg what they need or go without. II
they cannot beg a lodging. they sleep
in barns. brickyards, and straw-stacks;
and from early in March to late in Sep
tember they do not squander a single
ha1f-penny that comes in their way. l
had never before met this variety of
tramp, and doubt very much whether
they would be allowed to associate with
the real American hobos; for the true
tramp likes more generosity among his
fellows, and when he meets a stingy
brother he 10 likely to give him a

Tho Revlvalist Had Parting Bit of Fun
With His Audience.

Tho Revlvalst Had = Parting Bit of Fun
With His Audience.
An amusing incident occurred at the
close of San Jones' sermon at PULASKI
the other day. Stepping down from
the pulpit, folding his hands across his
breast and looking solemnly over the
audience, the great revivalist said:
81 want all the women in this crowd
who have not spoken a harsh word OF
harbored an unkind thought toward
their husbands for a month past to
stand up"
One old woman, apparently on the
shady side of GO, stood up.
"Come forward and give me your
hand" said the preacher.
The woman did SO.
"Now turn and let this audience see
the best looking woman in the coun.
try"
After taking her seat the revivalist
addressed the men:
"Now, 1 want all the men in this
crowd who have not spoken hard
word or harbored an unkind thought
toward their wives, to stand up"
Twenty-seven great big, strapping
fellows hoped out Of the audience
with all the alacrity of champagne
corks.
"Come forward and give me your
hands, my dear boys"
Jones gave each one vigorous shake
after which he ranged them all side by
side In front of the pulpit and facing
the audience. He looked them over
carefully and solemnly, and then, turn.
Ing around to the audience, he said:
81 want you all to take good look
at the twenty-seyen biggest liars in the
state of nnessee."-Hartwell Sun.

GRATEFUL TO HIS cAProRs.

Criminal Wanted to Give His Watch to
the omcer Who Arrested Him.
The influence of Sherlock Holmes
seems to have spread among the GRIMM
al classes. AS rule convicted swind-
lers do not have any special feeling
of gratitude toward the detectives who
run them to earth, but there is one
English sinner, who goes under the
name of Dean, who seems to have a
just regard for the efficiency of the
police force. At the conclusion of his
trial in Manchester the other day, Just
after he had been convicted and the
Justice, in severe words of condemna-
tion had pronounced an extended SEN
tence upon him, Dean addressed the
court and asked permission to bestow
his gold watch and chain, together
worth, as he said, more than ESQ, upon
the detective who had arrested him.
Deans little speech was concluded after
this fashion: This brave fellow de-
serves such a present, seeing that he
has succeeded where more than half
his brother officers have failed within
the past year and a half" Naturally
the court refused to allow the present
to be made, and as the prisoner was
led away he shook his head sadly and
exclaimed: "It is shameful for the
English that the detectives who serve
them SO well, should be rewarded SO
poorly"

A pretty story of romance attaches to
the visit of Paul Ransom, rich cattle
man from Idaho, who spent few days
of the week in Wichita, Kansas. At a
dinner party he met Miss Minnie
Worthington, pretty girl, with whom
he at once fell in love. Next day he
proposed and was refused, and on
Thursday he renewed his suit, but with
the same result.
Yesterday Ransom called again at
Miss WOrthington's house and bade her
farewell, as he left he handed her a
sealed envelope asking her not to open
it until night. Ransom left town nj.
