THE King Crowther compa

THE King Crowther company,
which claims to have discovered oil
5n paying quantities in Atascosa
county, and has founded a town
near its oil well by the name of
ss1rowther, is alleged to be about to
: build a railroad from San Antonio
% the new town. 1t is said that the
irst installment OF rails for the
road has been ordered and con-
tracts for grading will be let within
n month. 1t Is observed, however,
hat bonus of $4,000 has been
2sked of San Antonio. and so far
he people of that burg have not
put up the amount. So it can
scarcely be said that the project is
tssured-that is, if compliance on
the part of San Antonio be sine
qua non. 1t has been limited that
his proposed line may have an eye
an the direction OF Brownsville, so,
ii there is anything in it, this place
may be interested.

IS A FINE SURF BATHERa
Grace with Which Ee Meets the Over
rushing Waves.


The best surf bather in the world
is a wild duck, according to a trav-
eler who has just returned from the
seashore. 81 was walking along the
shore one afternoon" said this tray
eler, 'fwhen l saw a wild duck resting.
He rose in a little while, waddled awk-
wardly to the water and began to swim
out gracefully to sea. There came
toward him a rush Of white foam
from a wave that had broken some
twenty yards away. Hefunghimself
breast foremost into that swirl, get
ting through it as finely as a good
football man gets through a rush line.
Next he met a big, lazy swell. This
he Aoated over buoyantly. But now
some five yards in front Of him a pow
srfulwaye broke and there came seeth-
ing in fierce whirlpool offroth. The
wild bird waited till the strong rush
of foam was almost on him, and then,
like any other wise bather, he dived,
not to emerge until the water was
calm again and the danger past. A
moment later a great wave stood
arched, about to break in front Of
him, and with a quick movcment Of
the wings he shot up~through the thin
curve Of its oyerhanging crest. He
was invincible, for he knew bathing
from alpha to omega. Out andout he
foated, and at last the soft twilight
sRveloped him. Chronicle.
