an order to stop that leak in the ce-
ment floor of one of the towers, on that
wonderful architectural abortion
known as the Bexar county court
house. 1t costs only $40 of the tax
payers money, "widout de trimmins."
1t has been suggested in case this
wonderful edifice be reconstructed into
a tourists hotel that the present treas
urer's office, with the aid of some more
light might make fit baggage room.
Furthermore the beehive shaped
tower on the corner would perhaps not
look so much out of place on a hotel
as on a supposed palace of justice.
Such begun towers are however
mostly seen in pictures of northern
barns, and Dutch windmills.
The begun tower was perhaps cal
culated to remind US of the head COW
erings Of our Indian voters. The COL
or of the structure suggests that of
their other principle article of dress.
1t may be for this reason that we were
told the architectural style of the
building was Spanish renaissance.
1t is a pity that some of the Indian
voters cannot be employed to carry
more light into the dark office rooms
and Railways, in sacks on their backs.
There were a number of other plans
| submitted by architects, of buildings
| that would have been much more ap-
propriate for the purpose, than the
million dollar brown elephant, we have
| on our hands now. But they were
without begun towers, open courts
built on funnel principles, etc.
Less funnel court and more space
| applied to the wants and conveniences
of the interior apartments would have
been more agreeable to the occupants.

Miss Jennie Rose, young woman of

how rabbits seemed scarce that morn

about mile from my home when /

missing. Thinking that he was in
trouble, hurried in the direction of the
sound.
"As I pushed the bushes aside heard
my dog bark, and the bark was an
swered by a growl. There, not ten
feet away from where stood, was ahuge
bear, standing erect on her launches,
and guarding tiny cub from that little
fox terrier of mine. The cub was no
bigger than the dog, but the bear looked
as big as an OK. I had never before
met a bear in all my wanderings about |
the woods.
