A girl in Paris has been Tilted by her
lover though she had tried all she could to
retain her place in IN affections After
she had wept in solitude for Vaveral days
she determined to have her revenge. The
yscount was preparing TO dine at his
club, and was waiting only for the return
OF his valet, whom he HAD sent out for a
sporting paper. when there was a loud
ring and he had to open the door himself
Before him stood tall, female figure
dressed in black. her face CHASTITY pale
with suppressed emotion. The visconpt
started back: "Jeannel"
The young lady advanced a few steps
into the passage. Kissed out the word
'Wretchi" and produced from behind her
back n small Venetian phial. the gift Of
her former lover. Quick as lightning SHE
lifted 1t in the air and dashed its contents
into the face OF the gay deceiver. With
a loud yell he dropped to the ground and
shouted for help. The neighbors, the con-
eierge and the police fastened to the spot.
The unhappy man could not be persuaded
TO get up from the ground, on which he
rolled about in apparent agony, crying
"Vitriol! yitriol! l am dead mani Mean
time Jeanne stood like a marble statue,
gazing al her victim
Are you the perpetrator OF tho deed ?"
gasped the oommissary of police, out OF

Jeanne gave a silent nod.

ON AN IMPORTANT MISSION.

The San Antonio International Fair as
ISOLATION has created committee OF
prominent citizens. which is now en- route
TO the city of Mexico charged with tho
important mission OF enllsting the aid and
cooperation OF the Mexican capital for
the San Antonio exposition.
Apart from tho fact that this progress
sive move Will undoubtedly result in n
Mexican exhibit at San Antonio Of sufficient
attractivencss to prove within itself
good drawing card, there is sentiment
OF social and commercial reciprocity in
this procedure at once timely and needful
OF cultivation
Social contact between the two republics
can best and quickest build the founda-
tion upon which trade relations can be
established.
San Antonio with commendable fore
sight and energy takes the necessary ini-
hatlye. SO FAR rs Texas is concerned, and
It's committee can inaugurate work from
which the whole OF Texas and, through
Texas, the United Suites become bene-
tpciary.
The reduction OF tariff restrictions or
their elimination altogether must follow
the promotion OF strong international
regard between the two republics. Then
follows logically that commercial reel
proutty which. II our statesmen are wise,
must bind all the governments of the
Western hemisphere together.

bStion OF inauguratng a great fair and
exposition enterprise, designed to set be-
fore people Mt home and abroad the re-
sources and progress OF this and tributary

The advantages OF such community
enterprise were poinded on, and we
thought the movement would at once ma
tcrlalizs.
But what las become OF It? Community
enterprise certainly has not turned its
sttention to anything worthler or more
productive of Substantial result,
The railroads that run into and out OF
Houston, conspicuously the Huntington
lines, are putting forth ther best thought
and energy in the work Of advertising
resources OF the country and OF attracting
immigration. Is the community which Is
Enthusiastically n co-sharer IL the adyan-
tages OF all this activity doing its partg
In what other way moro effectually than
through fair and exposition could the
community second the endeavors OF the
railroads or more wisely foster It's own
lnterests2
Suppose that Houston should so ahead
without further delay and now perfect its
ersbwhile contemplated exposition plans,
would we not place ourselves in position
to benefit by San Antonio's idea of Sc
curing a Mexican exhibit which. once in
the State. could certainly be induced to
come here?
AT any rate Is there not enough In the
exposition energy and progress OF Dallas
and san Antonio TO arouse this community
TO the business Importance of getting into
the exposition circuit without further
postponement?
