fair load, about all I thought could
carry and make time with, and then /
started, and we logged along the road

across the road, and I'm blessed # it
didn't scare the old horse, and in about
second and quarter he was running
away. And sat there hangin' on to the
reins and yankin and sawin' and tryin'
to hold him up. and havin' just about as

About a quarter of mile further on
I knew it because had come that
way-there was bridge over brook
that ran across the road, just a common
little bridge with parked poles on each
side for railing; there was road on
one side of the bridge, too, through the
water. There was house just the
other side of this brook, and / was
afraid If the old horse went across the
bridge hammering in that still night
he'd wake up the folks and rouse the
neighborhood, maybe, so tried tosteer
him off through the brook. / thought
he'd make less noise going through the
water and thought maybe the cold
water would sober him, too, and make
him stop; and I got twist on the reins
and a brace on the dashboard and
pulled, and 1 did get him turned off a lit

thought had got him started for it all
right; but he sheered again for the
bridge and I couldn't begin to stop him.
"The bridge ratings were supported
in crotched sticks; and from these rail-
ings there were poles along the little
approach on each side of the bridge. the
ends of these poles being in lower
crotched sticks. When the old horse
sheered back from the ford road to the
bridge road he got the approach to the
bridge all right himself, but he swung
the wagon just enough to throw the
hind axle over the end of the pole pro-
tecting the approach, and it jammed in
some way between the pole and the
crotched stick supporting it, and bust
ed the reach of the wagon and tore off
the hind axle and wheels before you
could think: and the old horse went
pounding across the bridge and half
mile further yet with the tail end of the
wagon trailing on the ground and scat

A PRETTY WEDDING.
Mr.. Ryan and Miss Anderson Quiet
ly United in Marriage.

A quiet wedding took place in this
city Thursday evening. The happy
couple were Mr.. Patrick Thomas Ryan
and Miss Alma Anderson and the
event took place at the home of the
bride, on Travis street, Rev. Father
Smith, of st. Mary's church, perform
ing the ceremony.
The attendants to the bridal pair
were Mr.. Peter Ryan and Miss Tillie
Peetz.
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. o. S. Newell, Mr.. ana Mrs. NJ. F.
Thomas, DIR. and Mrs. c. A. Wilson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Johnson, Mrs A.
Guillot.
After partaking of a supper, the
couple left over the International for
st. Louis, Mo-, where they will make
theis future home, Mr.. Ryan being su-
perintendent of the Pullman Palace
Car company at that place. He was
formerly located in San Antonio as
assistant to Superintendent Newell
and has many friends here. The bride
is also popular young lady of this
city, being a sister of Messrs. Otto and
Ed. Anderson, two we'll known San
Antonio boys.
The drawing room of the car occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. Ryan on their
trip to ST. Louis was beautifully deco
rated, the work being done at Laredo
by Foreman Applet. A large horse
shoe made of Mexican plants hung
from the ceiling of the car, and from
it hung a bottle filled with rice, which
was arranged to spill over the bridal
couple as they entered the car.

 There is another B in the field for the Democratic free silver and free trade presidential nomination in 1900. It Is Bailey, of Texas. who has the support of a majority of the Democrats in the House in his efforts to be their leader. Mir. Bailey figures that he is quite as much of an orator as MT. Bryan, and quite as much entitled to the nomination. After the nomina- ton of Bryan, no sensible man would doubt the possibility of any action by Democratic convention. Neither of them are fitted for so responsible a place as the Presi- deney, but Bailey has been regard ed as less of a demagogue than Bryan, although getting the Pres identlal fever may cause him to out-Bryan Bryan in that direction.
 Attorney General McKenna is going to try his hand at enforcing the Sherman antitrust law, which the Cleveland administration de- clared could not be enforced. He has directed that suit be entered in the U. s.

ORIGIN OF GRAIN AND FRUIT.
Many Kinds Have Been Known from
 InmemeriaI Times.

The grains and fruits used as food by man originated in different latitudes, and first existed in a wild state, some being indigenous to the tropics and some to the temperate zone. As they became improved and differentiated they were dis tributed in different countries ac- Icording to their utility and the spread of agriculture. It was but natural that the first gradual changes from @ wild to a cultivated state should have taken place in general in warm countries where the climate and the advanced state of civilization conspired to I-eEect the ameli0ration. For in- stance, the grape is indigenous to Ameriza and had existed here in a wild state long ages before the con- tinent was discovered by Colum- bus, but it was first put to prac- tical use in Egypt and Central Asia, to which localities it's origin is sometimes attributed, and whence it was in reality distributed throughout the western world. A similar remark may be made of rye, one of the most valued cereals, which is native of the temperate zones, and spread thence toward the south. It is supposed to have been unknown in India, Egypt and ancient Palestine, and through it was more or less used by the an cient Greeks and Romans. 1t was from the North of Europe that they received it.
 Nearly all the grains now in use are of unknown antiquity. Wheat was cultivated in all attitudes as far back in the past as we have authentic knowledge. Barl?y is thought to have originated in the Caucasus, but 1t was known and used everywhere in the most ancient times. Oats, like rye, was unknown in ancient India and Egypt and among the Hebrews. The Greeks and Romans received it from the north of Europe. Had there been an early civilization on this continent the wild oats found here and there would probably have developed into the useful cereal now considered absolutely essential to the proper nourish- ment of horses. This continent Is credited with having given Indian lcorn to the Old World, but this useful cereal was doubtless known in India and China many hundred years before the discovery of Amer ica. Cotton was used for making garments in India at date so re- mote that it can not even be guessed at. The fact Is mentioned by Aristotle. The first seeds were brought to this country in 1921. In 1666 the culture is mentioned in the records of South Carolina. In 1736 the culture was general along the eastern coast of Mary land, and in 1776 wa heard of it as far north as Cape May. The use Of flax for making c!o:!ing is nearly as ancient as that Of cotton, and perhaps more so, plants of soft and flexible fiber having been with out doubt among the first vegetable productions of the ancient world and their practical value discovered soon after the invention of weaving.
 The orange is thought by some to have been first known in Bur nah, whence it was disseminated throughout the far East, in which connection it Is curious 10 note that the Greeks and Romans, to whom this fruit was unknown, placed the islands of the Hesperides, where grew the golden apples, in the far 'rost The introduction Q6 tbe

In view of the climax rapidly being ap-
preached in the sad affair it becomes in
teresting to observe what is the matter.
1t would appear from the testimony of
un biased witnesses that Mr.. Delmas in
sin uated to Mr.. McEnerney that he (Mc-
Enerney) was no such thing; that there
upon McEnerney tossed his tawny name
and pointedly told Delmas that he (Del-
mas) was another. He added as a sort OF
postscript that he could knock the stuffing
out of anybody who had stuffng that
needed knocking out; tnat he thought
Delmas thus equipped, and what was he
going to do about it, anyhow Delmas,
never for moment forgetting that the
eyes of the world were upon him, replied
in cold, incisive tones that he was not
only gentleman but fully realized it, and
that when he met with an affront he
jumped upon the author thereof with both

ing a time allowance so as TO 60 out and
get his life insured.
