OUR LADY OF THE SHOWS

A nation spoke to a. nation,
A. Queen sent word to throne:
Daughter, am I in my mothers house,
But mistress in my own.
The gates are mine to open
AS the gates are mine to close,
And l set my house In order
Said the Lady of the Shows.
Neither with laughter nor weeping,
Fear or the child's amaze,
Soberly under the white mans law
My white men go their ways.
Not for the Gentile's clamor,
Insult or threat of blows.
Bow we the kneel to Baal,
Said our Lady of the Shows.
My Speech is clear and single,
I talk of common things,
Words of the wharf and market place
And the ware the merchant brings,
Favor to those I favor,
But a stumbling block for my foes,
Many there be that hate us,
Said our Lady of the Shows.
I called my chiefs to council
In the din of troubled year,
For the sake of a sign ye would not see
And a word ye would not hear.
This is our message and answer,
This is the path we chose,
For we be also a people.
Said our Lady of the Shows.
Carry the word to my sisters,
To the Queens of the East and South.
I have proved faith in the heritage
BY more than the word Of mouth.
They that are wise may follow,
Ere the worlds war trumpet blows,
But l, 1 am the first in the battle,
Said our Lady of the Shows.
A nation spoke to a nation,
4 Queen sent word to a throne,
Daugher am ! in my mothers house.
But mistress in my own.
The gates are mine to open
AS the gates are mine to close.
And 1 abide by my mothers house,
Said our Lady of the Shows.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Prosperity and Low Rates

The whole San Joaquin is feeling the
thrill of prosperity on account OF the
advent of the new valley railroad. The
Southern Pacific monopoly formerly
said they were handling freight and
passengers at cost and that no new
road would pay. The second road has
brought down rates and Is not only
prospering itself, but Is giving good cheer
to the people.-Pasadena News.

peach crops, Prof. Wesley Webb, secre-
tary Of the Peninsular Horticultural
society. Dover. Del. said last week that
reports from the county vice-presidents
Of the eociety show that the peach crop
promises to be very heavy. nearly every
county reporting that the condition at
present IL 100 per cent. Pears. plums and
small fruits are also said to be In ca
cellent condition.
The apple crop Of the east is not vet at
all defined, but 1t would be unusual to
have a very large one this year. in view
Of the great yield Of the last two or
three years. The trees must get rest
sometime.
It looks then as II our fruit crop should
bring fairly good returns all around. We
think this will be 90 If the growers pay
proper attention to their business Our
peach orchards are bearing enormous
crops entirely too many for the trees to
bring to perfection. In such cases all
fruits should be thinned unsparingly.
If half the fruit were removed in many
instances the net weight matured would
not be greatly lessened and each fruit
would be large, and superior in quality,
and would bring a good price. When
marketing time comes the same care
should be taken to reject all small and
otherwise imperfect fruit. The packing
should be done carefully and honestly,
and the packages should appeal to the
eye with all the force Of lusciousness and
symmetry.
The fruit crop Of the state has come to
be too important factor in our prosper
ity to treat 1t carelessly. There will not
again in our day be a famine of fruit.
There will be plenty to pick and choose
from, and it will be the careful, honest
packer whose fruit catches the eye first
and then turns out in use so as to Justify
the buyers judgment, which will cap
ture the market and return handsome
profits to the producer.
AS to the refuse fruit and its uses, we
must convert that into some sort Of
merchantable preparation where its i'm
perfections will disappear. Jams, jellies.
marmalades and sweetmeats of many
kinds open up ways to dispose Of this part
of the crop. Here are openings for capt.
tai and enterprise to step in and build up
paying industries. Until this is done the
fruit grower will have to feed this refuse
fruit to chickens and pigs, so as to keep
it out of the way of his better products

Milan square is also suffering merely
from want of water, the trees all dy-

parks in the city are likewise suffering
from want of attention and there is on

these places under the supervision of
one of the gardeners and have them
put these places in condition and keep
them that way, instead IF chopping
mesquite brush out of some of the
streets away out at the edge of the

put up with few brushy streets than
lose their beautiful parks and plazas.

Gus Strain and Excitement.
Senator Mark Hanna is suffering

directly caused by the great nervous
strain and excitement which the SEN

year. Symptoms of trouble made their
appearance last January. The climax
was reached fortnight ago when Mr..
Hanna had fainting spell in his Office,
which caused him so much uneasiness
that on the following day he left for
a ten days recuperative sojourn in his
country seat near Cleveland. He came
back to Washington considerably re-
freshed and much better in spirits,
but he has acknowledged his heart was
still giving him trouble.

CITY TOPICS.
STREET PAVING.


The city Of Houston is in the throes
of EXPERIMENTAL street paving. 1t
has, been suggested that parties be
BeTmitted to put down blocks of pave
ment as experiments; brick, granite,
etc. Now what is the use of expert
menting with material already tested.
A proper test of any material or class
of payment, would require several
years to decide it's value, but there are
materials and kinds of pavement that
have been tested. The brick pavements
have been in use long enough to dem
onstrate the durability of this materi-
al; the asphalt is world wide in its use;
macadam is well known; block pave
ments also tried, only that the city of
San Antonio can boast the finest block
pavement in the world, and an asphalt
nave ment that has no superior. The
block pavement was put down during
Mayor Callaghan's former administra-
tion--it is made from mesquite wood;
and these streets after eight or nine
years life have recently been taken up
10 put down sewers and the old blocks
put back again just as sound as at
first. 1t is certainly the greatest
wood block pavement in the world. We
have also a block of asphalt made from
the aspahtl of Kline, Uvalde county,
laid in the hottest days of last summer,
which has remained as firm as rock
ever since, under every change of tenn
perature. This is the finest, most dur
able. scn1oothest and most sanitary
pavement in the world. 1t is only a
question of expense. How can these
pavements be laid so as to lessen the
cost. Is it not possible here to do
away with the use of cement founda-
ton under the blocks, most certainly
the asphalt does not require it. The
use of mesquite blocks VIII bring into
market home product that would be
shared in by large number of people
The asphalt would also bring our mines
into operation. Houston would do well
to send a committee to examine San
Antonio's pavements, and not wait for
experiments. Our macadam streets,
so-calledt are failure, and are the
most Expensive street improvement
ever undertaken

WHY HE is A BACHELOR.
Romance Of st. Louis Street. Gar
Conductor.
He Fell in Love with a Fair Passen.
ger Whose Marriage Interrupted
His Dream But Not His SIM
pie Faithfulness.

| We are not likely to think of romance
in connection with the man who rings
up fares. He is mortal like ourselves,
however, and, being so, is target for
Cupid's darts.
There is tall, quiet-mannered man
whose hair and mustache show the
frosts of age, who could tell an interest
ing story of an Improbable attachment
| if he would.
You remember the tender little love
story that appeared in magazine form a
year or two ago and which maidens
cried over and ladies speculated upon at
afternoon teas? 1t was as tantalizing
I in it's way as Frank Stockton's veNa-
tious question, the lady or the tiger?
Did Luke know? the ladies asked each
other, and the answer was according to
the temperament of the speaker, for
the author had left it a mystery. Luke,
bluff, lovable backwoodsman, tells a
comrade about the sojourn of family
of wealth and culture in his neighbor-
hood one summer long before, and
about the lovely girl of queer actions.
Everyone who reads the story as the
author makes Luke tell it knows that
the girl loved Luke. There it ends,
with no promise of hopes fruition.
The gray-haired conductor was tell
ing the story to a friend who stood
with him on the platform the other day.
THAT man is one in thousand"
said the friend afterwards to st. Louis
Republic reporter. HE has the high
est kind of an opinion of women. He
bows at their shrine as he would at that
of a far-away saint. He is bachelor
and always will be on account of the
strangest kind of love story you ever
| heard.
HE is a college man and has lot
of energy, though you might think he
was lacking in anything like ambition.
After he graduated from college there
was no opening in professional or bust
ness channels to him, for he was poor
boy who had worked his way through
college.

younger sister then devolved upon him.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

uIhe matter of buying the waterworks
which has somewhat agitated the pub
lie during the past few days awaits
further development. Mayor Gala
ghan's position is non-committal; he
win make no advances; If the water
company want to dispose of their plant
they will have to make the advances.
The city is not in the waterworks bust
ness just yet The people may have to
take up this question.
Another question interests many peo-
ple. VIII the debts of the Elmendorf
administration be paid, or will they go
over indefinitely. Mayor Callaghan
asserts that these claims will be taken
care of as soon as the money comes in
from the taxpayers, that there is no
disposition to repudiate these just
claims.
