The Flim-ham Game.

The short change racket was
successfully worked last night
about 7 o'clock on the good looking
young man clerking for M. j.
Hewitt on Commerce street. A
faultlessly dressed stranger walked
in while the store was full of
customers, and asked for a ten
dollar bill in exchange for silver.
He was accommodated, but the
silver was found to be a dollar
short. Taking the silver and the
bill, the man said he would go and
get another dollar, and walked out,
past the proprietor, and rapidly
escaped in the Christmas throng
on Commerce street, before the
clerk could come out from behind
the counters to catch him.

Don't write when Angry.

Never write letter to man, wom-
an or child when you are angry with
the person in question, or perhaps, 1
had better qualify my advice by beg
ging you, one and all, never to send an
angry letter for As hours after you have
written it, and then l would suggest
reading it carefully, and, as the Irish
man said, burning it before sending it."
We have many of us exhausted all our
rage in the fire of the letter-writing,
and have felt all the delights of battle
won by the prowess of our pens without
the hackneyed formality of posting the
epistle. Who is there who has not
written his anger out in this wholesome
way! Do not, pray, send cruel let
ter to anyone you have ever loved. You
will but live to regret the act, and pos
sibly with the pallid silence of death
between you and the wounded one. If
mortals were, in these prosaic days,
gifted with invisible powers, 1 would
wish to be that spirit endowed with a
force which would arrest every angry
word at the tip of each sharp-pointed,
heart-breaking pen.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

"Too Slick. {"

To the San Antonio LIGHT:
We are informed at last that the
Mexican brick are "too slick" to
hold cement. So says Contractor
Wilding and Inspector Peters &C.
cording to published interviews
with them, and Alderman Devine
in Saturdays LIGHT, December IA.
Is not the whole outfit "too
slick" for San Antonio? Engineer
Gray seems to be very slick. He
gets, it is reported, $3.50 per month
and expenses to say these slick
brick are all right and must be
used. The inspectors are "too
slick" to differ with the contractors
or anybody else, fearing they
would lose their job. Then 1t is
slick work to get pay and expenses
for pleasure trips north. But the
slickest of all the slick work, will
be the getting compact gravel
classed as hard rock. Before this
sewer job is finished, the tax pay
ers will find that the Mexican
brick are not the only things that
are "too slick" for them.

It Caught Him.

1t takes all kinds of people to make up
the world. One of the unusual class ap-
peared in Middletown Wednesday evening
in suit of red tights. mounted chair and
said his say" took up the inevitable COL
lection, the chief feature of the perform
ance, elevated himself to a rope stretched
across one of the main streets near the
plaza, and went through the usual tight
rope performances. 1t is all remarkable
in the nerve displayed, the chances taken,
the development of muscle, the display of
the powers and capabilities Of the human
body as machine. 1t gives the boys les
sons in walking the garden fence and the
girls in the balancing themselves upon two
legs of the kitchen chairs, harmless but
useless employment. Lessons in the use
of the garden hoe and broomstick would be
more beneficial.
cit was interesting though and caught one
of the editors of the TRANscRIPT-the agri-
cultural editor by the way. He was in a
great hurry to finish his business and get
out of town, but the crowd across the street
presented barrier that took the edge off
his progressive ideas. He wondered how
long that fellow would hold the crowd and
delay him, with his eye all the time rivited
on that red suit. He talked of the destruc-
ton of the cut worm and his impa-
tience to get home to service notice on the
the little ravagers of his corn crop that hot
weather had come and their days are
numbered. but all the time his eye rested
on the rope and balancing pole, the one
under the feet and the other in the hands
of the aforesaid suit of red. lie regretted
the nervousness and irratability of his horse
that stood with lamb-like patience while
others drove through the crowd either
way, and all the while his weather eye was
scanning the bit of sky between the tops of
Parker's andLeatherbury's building on one
side of Main Street and Ma>sey's on the
other. The whole performance had sus-
picion of the good elder attending the
wicked circus for The qualification of his |
grandson. but the suspicion is not we'll
founded since as soon as the last collec-
tion began he hastened off to serve the writ |
ten notices on the cutworm and the afore-
said worms have vacated the premises and |

parted to other fields.

Children's Day at Forest Church,

Children's Day at Forest Church.
Children's Day was very appropriately
observed in Forest Presbyterian Church
last Sunday evening. The floral decora
tions, while not elaborate, were very chaste
and simple, consisting of few potted
plants and vines tastefully arranged, and
making very pretty background for the
exercises which were well rendered. The
festal program was entitled 1.-THE Old
Guide Book" and the songs, recitations
and responsive readings were beautiful eu-
logiums on the Book of Life" Besides
various other exercises, a very pretty reci-
tation, entitled "Her Treasure was given
by Louise Mcdowell; song exercise" That's
the kind of Girls and Boys" by Helen Rowe
Anna Talbot, Louise Echenhofer, Leroy
Constable and Joe Bailey, was very pleas
ing: and "The Bible Pyramid, was also re-
cited well by the following: George Kelley,
Grover Talbot, Charles Talbot, Grover
Crow, Joe Comegys, Douglass Lockwood,
Rossiter McCrone Elwood Dodd and Ed
gar Rowe. There were other recitations
by Eliza Green, Emma Kelley, Lizzie Hol-
ten, Beverley Constable, Thomas McWhor-
ter, and James Donahoe, also by Gertrude
McCrone and Helen Smith. and "Bible
Acrostic" by six little girls. Little Helen
Rowe, as usual delighted the audience with
one of her pretty songs sung in her own
pleasing way. There was large congre-
CATION in attendance. and the exercises
throughout were very enjoyable.
