What a lot of Carpeting will
be done this Fall! Did it ever
strike you that if you buy then,
you will have to pay very much
higher prices for the New PAT
TERMS, whilst carpets just as
handsome can be bought now at
very low prices, indeed.
Really, unless you are ultra
particular, what matters it if the
carpet is not the very latest out
for styles change slowly in car
pets-they must, for carpets are
not bought every year.

A QUESTION.

Oh! If tonight my heart should cease to
The myriad crimson drops that to it
come,
The soul should seek the realms of the
beyond,
The body sigh for its eternal home.
Oh! would my spirit, ere IL Quilted here,
Go forth and bid farewell to thee,
And wouldst thou feel my being lowering
near?
All! who can tell? Alas! not we.
Or would thy dream betaken i'll,
Thy rest perturbed and filled with care,
Thy heart seem heavy with the coming
dawn,
A mist prevent the morning air,
The singing birds oblivious to thy sight,
The fragrance Of the flowers unnoticed
be,
All nature in her beauty have no charm?
All! who can tell? Alas not we.
And, If perchance, in future time to come
That thou should wander near my rest

All! would thy footsteps lead thee there,
And would the tears course down thy
As thou should read these lines upon my
tomb,
And think of her how long since gone;
And wouldst thou kneel and press the
sod,
And feel thy heart forlorn?
Or wouldst thou never weep for her,
Or ever care her grave to see:
But turn to seek another shrine?

STOLEN CYCLE RECOVERED.
A Boy Thief Who Did Not Know
the Trick of Down Brakes

the Trick of down Brakes"
Mr.. Mic Tengg has recovered
his bicycle, stolen some months
ago from in front of his fathers
store on Commerce street. The
wheel was stolen by boy named
Hagen, of Boerne, who confessed
to the sheriff of Kerrville, that he
had taken it because he had run
away from home, was hungry and
had no money and no work, and
was ashamed to beg. He rode the
wheel out of this city through
West End and on until he struck
the main road to Boerne. Some
miles out he came to long down
grade, and did not know how to
apply his foot on the front wheel,
TO produce brake. Down the hill
he flew at frightful speed, and at
the bottom he struck an obstruc.
ton which broke the wheel very
badly and rendered it useless for
the rest of the journey and also
bruised him considerably. He
walked the wheel in to Boerne,
and took it to a repair man to
whom he intrusted it, and it is
said, afterward sold it. 1t is be-
lieved the boy, afterward arrested
on suspicion, told the sheriff where
the wheel could be found, but be-
fore the repair man was appre-
hended, he took the wheel and
came on the train to San Antonio
and delivered it to Mr.. w. Z.
Roach, and paid all the repairs
thereon, 50, on the promise of inn
munity from prosecution. On his
return to Boerne he was arrested
by the sheriff on the charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods, and now
awaits the action OF the grand jury

A straddle Opinion.

alderman Robards expresses
some very sensible ideas in regard
to future street improvements i'm
this city. There can be no discus
sion as to whether they are needed,
it is evident to the most casual OBJ
server that they are. A city the
size of San Antonio cannot afford
to allow its streets to go to rack
and ruin for want of attention, nor
can it afford to cease to extend the
area of well paved streets. Such
extension is synonymous with
growth and increasing prosperity"
S. A. Express.
Correct, Mr.. Express, the people
want improvements and are will
ing to pay for them, but they are
sick and tired of voting for bonds,
for patchwork business. Wait UNI
til the sewers are completed, and
then ask the taxpayer to vote
enough mobey to do a flrst-class
job. They will vote no money to.
patch up streets that are to be torn
up again by the sewer contractors.

WONDERFUL DAHOMeY.
land of Amazons. Human SACRIFICES, Nor
maids and Tame whales

An interesting book on Dahomey is
written and published by Henry Marcel,
which name is the pseudonym of a well
known French resident of, Philadelphia,
saws the New York World.
Dahomey was until recently the most
important negro monarchy in Africa. 1t
was especially famous for two things
its CORPS of Amazon warriors and its hui
man sacrifices. Both these institutions are
at an end since the French conquest of
Dahomcy.
The Amazons were the only instance in
the modern world of body OF female war
riors. They formed the body guard of the
king and were as remarkable for their
fidelity as for their courage.
Every Dahomcyan was bound to present
his daughters to II sort of Il medical board,
which selected those suitable for the king s
service Little girls taken in war were
also trained to be Amazons.
The Amazons were ordinarily compelled
to remain celihate all their lives but the
king occasionally permitted one to marry
a deserving male soldier. They We're al
ways very well formed, and some of them
were handsome, in figure at least. Tho
number of them was about 1000 and they
formed only a small part of the army. In
addition to being brave on the battlefield,
it is said that they were more cruel than
the male soldiers and very hard drinkers
for thought and possibly encouragement
in these facts.
The human sacrifices were first insti-
tutcd in 1900 They were based on religious
beliefs. Man is believed to be subject to
the same wants in the next world as in
this: so he must he buried not only with
food and weapons but provided with wives
and servants if he is an important person.
The burial of a king was always at
tended with an immense slaughter. When
King Gulzo died more than 500 human
lives were sacrificed, including chiefs, mu-
scians and slaves. He was bnried i'm a
big cave. Ills wives seated themselves
round him in the order of their rank and
poisoned themselves Basketfus of heads
and calabashes fun of blood were piled on
his tomb.
Wholesale sacrifices were also held at
fixed periods. A traveller describing them
says that during the night of these sacri-
fees everybody found in the street was
dubbed to death. Companies of musi-
clans walked about playing painful music.
At midnight Volley of mus5etry an
nounced the beginning of the executions.
The victims were brought into the square
by thirtics Sometimes death was pro
duced by filling up the breathing apertures.
Some of the dead bodies were arranged in
lifeike attitudes.
The Dahomeyan coast is favored with
some remarkable sea creatures. Among
them is the manatcc or sea COW, an animal
of the seal family which has some resemb-
lance to human being. The female has
very prominent breasts when nursing her
young. 1t is suggested that this animal
is responsible for the legends of mermaids
and sirens.
Whales are common and as they are not
hunted they are very bold and roll them
selves up high and dry on the beach in

DO NOT BELIEVE MR.. HARRISON.


Washington, July 19-No one in public
life here credited the report published yes
terday morning that MIR. Harrison had
said that he would not accept a republic
can nomination for the presidency next
year, for everybody who knows anything
about politics is convinced, not only that
Mr.. Harrison would gladly accept the nom
ination, but that he is DESTROYS to have
it offered to him.
His friends are known to be pulling wires
for him in every direction. Some of them,
knowing it to be a good policy not to
spring his candidacy year in advance
of the convention, announce publlrlN'
from time to time, that he is not a candl-
date. but privately they are already ar
ranging to get delegates for him to the
convention next year
They think that his chances for getting
the nomination are better than those OF
anybody else who has been mentioned,
except. perhaps, Allison. Reed and Me-
Kinley they set oft. one against another,
and the other candidates they count as
unimportant and as really aiming at the
cabinet or the vice presidency. They class
Morton, Hastings, Davis of Minnesota,
Elkins and all the other men who are
mentioned as fancy candidates. who
do not expect to be nominated for pres
ident, but want the prominence of being
mentioned in the convention, and expect
to get some other honor out Of it. They
look to see Reced and Mckinley defeat
each other. Then, they say, Harrison or
Allison viii certainly be nominated.
