1t was an all over rain and one
that reached down to the roots Of
things. 1t dem onstrates that the
possibility OF real soaking in this
drouthy southwest is not clean
gone, and it also gives promise Of
that good time Just coming in
which there will be abundant rain
here through successive seasons.
As the LIGHT has so often said, all
that Southwest Texas needs to
make it the garden OF the west is
abundant moisture. These rains
insure all small crops and fill the
earth with the necessary dampness
for later crop preparations. The
years to come will give us less
drouth.

San Antonio seems to have a
monopoly Of the rains that serious

gather the stockman Of this South

future when generous rains are
needed to water the thirsty soil, in
stead Of invoking the aid Of the
rain giver 1t will be in order to ar
range for stock exhibit in this
city and the weather clerk will
produce the aqueous.

The rains that came down In all
the abandon OF a regular water
spout night before last have put
the regulation street cleaners to
shame. 1t flooded of all the rub
bish and filth that the miscalled
street sweeper leaves to festoon the
corners along the curbstone, car
ried the dirty accumulation into

The Proportion Of had Tempered
Women is Very small.

Women is Very small.
A famous doctor, who regards nagg.ng
as a disease. says that one woman in
fifty is more or less afflicted, While only
one in five thousand is a hopeless nagger,
or, in other words. has an incorrigibly
bad temper. Well. that is good showing,
considering what women have to put up
with in hot weather. They work in over
heated kitchens. They are vexed with a
thousand cares. and when night comes,
what with cooking, mending. and the
care of restless children. they are utterly
worn out.
The learned doctor doesn't say what
sort of medicine he gives his nagg:ng pa
TENTS. Naturally, he would not publish
his prescriptions in the spa But
men too-who feel the with
ering, ~blighting effect of the torrid
weather may b. assured tina nothing else
than a pure stimulant like Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey will give hem the sus-
tanned energy and elasticity for which
that standard stimulant is famous.
Free from deleterious matter as a
mountain spring, this whiskey sharpens
the appetite and assists digestion. Pos
sibility of danger in drinking water and
in the seasons fruits ard vegetables is
averted by Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
tangled nerves and a stomach inclined to
mutiny are sources of discomfort which
cease to annoy when the entire system
is toned with Duffy'S Malt Whiskey.
