The Money so spent Does Not Away

The Money 80 spent afGes Not Away

You spend 20 much money" said
Mr.. DiggIes Of Capitol EiH. TO his csti-
mable wife.
Il don't spend any more than vou
give me-" she responded.
We'll, do you suppose / give YOU
money for no other purpose than TO
have yol spend it?'
Really, John, never supposed any
thing about il. All know is that when
l need money tu buy things we need
more than we II, ed money, l ask you
for it, and when ! get it l spend it, and
when l do not ] do rot spend it,"
That's just about on III average with
a woman's logic"
We'll, what would you think if
asked you for money just TO hide away
and hoard for the future?'
I'D think you were a very saving
woman"
Perhaps you would, and everybody
else would think | was a fool. I'm
much ooliged, Mr.. Decides. but you VIII
please excuse me from using your
money that way"
1T is, at least, not an eNtrlvagant
way of disposing Of H."
"Extrayagant? I'd like for YOU to
name a thing I've bought in the last
month that we did not need, and that !
did not get as economically as posi-
bly, could"
Mr.. Diggies was stumped for min
ute.

said, finally. as he thought how late
his daughter sat in it every night, and
not alone, either.
Mrs. Digglcs' face grew red, for this
hammock had been a source of tri-
umph TO her, and she would not for an
instant permit its efficacy TO be ques-
toned, whatever the cost.
Yes she answered in tone of
suppressed feeling; there's that ham
mock. What did it cost?''
-Four dollars, when there were plen-
tv of them for sale NJ 50 cents. marked
down from dollar"
YES; and such hammocks. John
Diggles. you talk like an IDIOT" and the
good lady began TO speak very serious
~. You talk to me about that ham
mock being a piece of extravaganza
when you don't know the first princi-
pies of hammocks OF course | could
have got one for 50 cents, but do you
think / was going 10 permit the S9-cent-
hammock style of young man 10 come
up here seven or eight nights in the
week and hirt with Katie, and She our
only daughter? No, indeed; ] didn't,
John Dicgles. and / want You 70 un-
derstand that since that hammock mas
been on the place there's always some
young man waiting for his turn, and
instead of having those $500 govern
ment clerks hanging around, Katie
won't look at one with less than 81 400,
not to mention a real estate man in
business for himself. \ month ago
Katie was as good as engaged to that
young snip in the agricultural depart
ment at SIS a month. and only last
night she rejected a state department
clerk with $1,000 a year. Still, Mr.
niggles. YOU think il is eNtrayagant TO
pay four dollars for hammock that
has some style about il, and would like
tc Sc your wife save S3.11 and destroy
the happiness OF our daughter forever.
\ nice husband and father, indeed, you
are, John Diggles," and Mrs. Diggles
burst into Washington Star.

refused to allow a hypnotist to testify
that he had put an alleged murderer

court took this stand because il said

A SAN ANToNIAN ABROAD.
Mr.. Flores Delivers an Eloquent Adj
dress at a Convention in
New York

Mr.. Antonio ID. Frores is in receipt of
n copy of the proceedings of the fif-
teenth annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Master Plum
.bers, held in New York, June IL, 1897.
San Antonio was represented at the
convention by local delegates and Mr..
Flores, who also accompanied them,
was an invited guest to the conven-
ton. When the time arrived for Sc
lecting the next meeting place, Mr..
Flores at the solicitation of the San
Antonio delegates, addressed the
meeting as a citizen of San Antonio,
inviting the association to hold its
next convention in the Alamo City,
extending them royal welcome on
behalf of the people of San Antoio.
Mr.. Flores'address effervesced withpa-
trioism and was loudly applauded by
he convention, and he was congratulate
ed for his eloquence. The address is
published in the proceedings of the
convention, and the Light extracts
therefrom the closing remarks, which
are as follows:
Il thank you for your attention, and
/ hope to see you next year in our city
which is laureled with the Alamo, the
sacred spot on which was ignited the
shell which forced and propelled by
valor and patriotism, took an upward
flight, and finding itself in the free
midair, gave its report, proclaiming to
the world the freedom and indepen-
dence of the Texas republic, and
Frightening and decorating her sky
with n great Lone Star. She placed
her great Lone Star in the constella-
ton of the star spangled banner and
made Old Glory shine brighter. Tex
ans became Americans and felt proud
and our country, the great republic
of the United States of America-was
greater. My friends, she has done
the same thing with reference to your
organization. She has placed her star
in the constellation of the Master
Plumbers association by passing a
Texas plumbing law, and 1 am proud
to say that it was through the influ-
ence and interest of the San Antonio
people that the law was passed! 1
think San Antonio deserves the con-
vention, and l hope that you will give
il to us"
Mr.. Flores address was accepted by
the convention with a vote of thanks
and San Antonio was chosen as the
next meeting place.

Lost Her Teeth Down Her Throat

The wife Of William J. Patton, q
prominent druggist of Portland
Or, is now in St. Vlncent's Hospital
recovering from the effects of sin.
gular accident and serious operation
which followed. Three weeks since
she broke the rubber plate of an
upper set of artificial teeth in half
Having occasion to make call be-
fore the plate was repaired, she
adjusted the pieces in her mouth.
Soon after she yawned and involun
tarily placing her hand over her
mouth her fingers pressed against
her teeth, detaching one half of the
plate and the teeth attached.
Her head was thrown back and
her mouth being wide open, the
teeth went into her throat, and be-
fore she could seize or eject them,
plate and all had passed beyond
reach and control. In day or two
she began to suffer severe pains and
was unable to eat, and at the end
Of two weeks was in a serious con-
dition. She was taken to St. Vim
cents Hospital, where an operation
was performed opening the stomach,
but after most thorough search
of the stomach and viscera no trace
Of the teeth could be found. She
is now rapidly recovering.

Newspapers as Protectors,

Instead of using channels skin, a
young woman whose slight figure
shows to great advantage in tight
ly fitting cloth costume has Dor.
rowed from the wisdom of the poor
in adopting newspaper vest for
underneath the bodice. She likes it
much better. 1t is fully as warm as
chamois, and may be new each time
that it is worn. Poor people know
that one thickness of newspaper
basted between two pieces of calico
furnishes blanket almost as warm
as cotton quilt. A physician whose
practice takes him all over a large.
thinly settled district invariably
wears under his topcoat a waistcoat
made of newspapers. He says it is as
warm as a cardigan or sweater, and
tar less bulky. Carpets lined with
newspapers are particularly warm.

The Spending of Money.
From the Fair Play Advocate. |

lCIOLu tue 4 dlI Ray advocate
The hue and cry made by a large
majority of the democrat and pop.
ulist papers over the expenditures
of money by the wealthy class in
giving balls and parties and in their
dress, always winding up with the
same old chestnut, that Instead oil
being so extravagant they should
distribute their money among the
poor, is getting to be mighty tire
some to those of their readers who
are gifted with ordinary intelligence.
The probabilities are that the ex.
penditure of thousands by some OF
the most prosperous class who have
amassed their fortunes is not nearly
so extravagant, for them, as are the
whisky and tobacco bills of those
who spend their time decrying them,
trying to gain popularity with a
class of people who are always
ready to take all they can get-at
the hand of charity. The Advocate
says, let the wealthy spend their
money, no matter how, and the
more the better, for every dollar
they spend, no matter in what fool
ish manner, is put in circulation
and is more beneficial to the coun-
try than it would be lying idle in
the bank to their credit. The sight
of the wealthy opening their purses
and extending an invitation to all
who wanted to come and help them
selves has never been and never
will be witnessed, simply because
the human race is not built that
way, and if you don't believe it,
just sum up the number of chart
table deeds you have done the past
year yourself and the amount that
you have given away of your &C
cumulations to those of your neigh
bors who have less than you. If
you have money to spend, you
spend it in your way-just so with
the wealth-and if instead of stand
ing around deploring the extrava-
gance of some one else and trying
to make them divide with you, you
will take off your coat and go to
work and try to accumulate some
thing on your own account, you will
have less time to spend bowling
calamity and socialism, and will do
less to encourage that good-for-
nothing. never-do-well class which
infest every community and are
always ready to side in with any
one who will rail against the rich.
Every bomb which has ever been
thrown, and every riot which has
been started, has been at the insti-
cation of and by some one of the
class to which such talking and
writing caters.
