Cuero Star congratulates herself
upon paying only half the tax that
San Antonians do, and wonders
what the people of this city say
about it. They kick, of course,
but they would rather pay the
double levy than return to the
Cuero conditions. 1t is not always
what you pay, but what you get for
your money.

The Benevolent order Of Free and
Accepted Masons will build a
Home in Texas for their widows
and orphans. This will be located
wherever it will be found most eli.
gible and where the greatest local
aid will be afforded. San Antonio
will no doubt come into the num-
Der Of competitors for this Home,
and il she is wisely and we'll in
structed in the matter and acts &C.
cordingly she will secure it. There
is no other city in the state that
presents so many advantages in
the way Of location, no other that is
as healthy, no other that has a
stronger body OF the fraternity
within its bounds, no other in which
the Masonic orders are more vigil
liant, earnest and watchful in car
ing for their own widows and or.
phans, ana tnere is therefore no
other city in which the Home could
be built with greater assurance
of local care and consideration than
would follow its location here.
That it would be a benefit to the
business Of the city is we'll under
stood, as also that it would increase
the Importance Of the Masonic
work in San Antonio and make it
more than ever the Mecca Of the
faithful.

From the indianapolis News.
David Jones. the wealthy farmer, residing
near Nwood, Ind. atteutI whom so much
has recently been written and published,
holds the record as th9 saeepless man. Sew
eral days prior to Sehtespber ., 1894, he
had sleepless spells, and at night, when he
would lie down to pest.3 his sleep was
greatly disturbed. On the night of Sep
te1nber . he failed to sleep, and it was at
that time that his long period of sleepless-
ness set in. Night after night and day
after day came and went and still no sleep
visited his eyes. He lost a few pounds Of
flesh. but he was able to con tfnue working.
A number of noted medical men consulted
over his case and prescribed relief. all Of
which failed.
Friday, February .. he began to feel
drowsy, and there was a feeling of hoAe
that his sleepless period was drawing to Il
close. He was not mistaken. for that night
he laboriously slept half an hour. He has
since been sleeping a little each night, and
it is now thought that he soon will be all
right again. He went one hundred and
flfty-two days and nights without Sleep a
record that has never been equaled. Three
years ago he went ninety days and nights
without sleeping, and now he is wondering
what his third attack will do for him. He
only lost IN pounds during his long Sleep

Kiss the Place He Sat On.

From the Boston Herald.
Royalty worship reached an absurd point
the other day The Prince Of Wales seated
himself in a public park to chat for mo-
mont with a friend. On his rising to re-
sumo his stroll three well-dressed young
ladies' hastaned to the spot witch he had
just left and one after the other knelt and
kissed the seat which had been honored by
supporting their future kingthis. too, in
the presence of several hundred onlOokers.
This is even worse than the idiocy of the
man who picked UP the stump of cigar
thrown away by the prince and keeps 1t in
a glass case, to be exhibited to all his
friends. It is a rich manufacturer in Shelf
field who relgiously preserves a grease
spot on the wall of his billiard room made
by the august head Of his royal highness
when seated on the dfvan which runs round
the room, while watching a game Of bill
iards after dinner. A number Of years have
passed since then. and the billiard room
has undergone many alterations in the
shapa of new wall paper and redeceradon.
One thing alone remains untouched. namely,

A Magnify ing show Window.

Prom the london AESwers.
One of the most extraordinary devices
for attracting custom on record was that
Of a fruiterer In a Midland town. Instead
Of the ordinary plate glass, a large num-
ber Of rough magntfy1ng glasses formed
the window. Seen through one of these
panes, an orange looked as large as a
pumpkin and cherries as large apples.
A great disadvantage attached to this
novelty was the fact that at the distance
OF few yards from the window it was
quite impossible to see into the shop. Every
body knows that you must hold magnify
ing glass very close to the eyes to see any
thing through it. Nevertheless. for some
time, at all events. the enteIprising proprie-
tor did a roaring trade.

At the Mammoth mine no ore is being

has been sunk $50 feet, at which point
drifts are being run to tap the vein.
Everything is in readiness and it is said
active operations will be resumed early
next week when ore will be taken out
and the mill started up. Some new and
exceedingly rich ore has oeen struck on
the Bull Dog property, which is being
thoroughly developed. The Pomeroy
mill is working steadily on the $50 tons
or ore from this property and the plates
show that the ore will average at least
$25 per ton. This property is owned by
Phenix people, who have already ex.
