Field had all the love for children
which Is ascribed to him. He
loved to "chum" with them, to tell
them horrible stories that would
keep them awake nights, and to
put them up to "devilment" that
would drive their mothers crazy.
He brought up his own boys in
this manner, and they regarded
him not 80 much as parent and
protector as wonderful creature
designed for their amusement. He
invited a bachelor reporter to
Christmas diuner at his house. He
seated him at the table between
the two youngest Fields, and with
the utmost sincerity said to the
children: snow, boys, 1 want to
eat my Christmas turkey in peace,
and don't want you to bother me.
When you want anything you
must not reach, Ask Mr.. Blank
for 1t and he will get it for you,
and when your hands get smeared
with gravy, don't wipe them on
your mothers clean napkins, blu Z
wipe them on Blanks coat sleeves
He won't care, and that's what
he's here for" And the boys
obeyed instructions literally.

Field was tender-hearted, sem
timental fellow, although he con-
cealed his gentleness under a
mask of pessimism. In the last
two years, when he had quit his
habits, when he was suf-
fering from stomach that had
ceased to be a stomach, when he
was working constantly and was
rarely seen out of his library, some
Of his friends of the old time &C
cused him of desertion and forget
fulness. But he did not forget his |
old friends. When Fred Skiff was |
sick in Chicago last summer, and |
near to death, Field quit his work,
went to Skiff's bed and stayed with
him until he seemed better. And |
when he babe him goodbye he
took him in his arms and kissed
his cheek in genuine affection,
while tears stood in his eyes.

The cry is often raised that San
Antonio has no manufactures.
That is not as true as appears on
its surface. This city has Industrial
institutions of one kind or another
which employ from two to three
thousand men in the aggregate.
Without these the city would be in
bad fix. Double these operatives
and see how it would improve the
situation in all the departments of
trade.
