Cattle Queen as a Playwright.

Miss Clara DriscolI, well-known
in Texas as the author of a popular
book, THE Girl of La Gloria, ;"
which was produced last season
and which had quite a run through
out the state, is another woman to
break into the dramatic field.
Instead of writing melodrama,
Miss Driscoll has turned her tai
ents toward comic opera, in the
construction of which she has
chosen scenes we'll out of the beat
en- track. The plot is laid in
Mexico, and, it is said, deals with
the problems of the Aztecas many
centuries ago. A specially con-
structed scenic equipment will be
absolutely essential when the play
is produced.
The production, it is rumored,
will be made next spring, and it is
said that while no direct negotia-
tons are pending with the Shu-
berts of New York, that firm is
nevertheless considering seriously
the production of the piece.
Miss Driscoll has written not
only the book of lyric, but the
music as well, which only goes to
show that a Texas girl can do
something worth while if she takes
a notion.
Not meaning to say that this is
all Miss Driscoll has done. When
the Daughters of the Republic of
Texas decided that they wanted to
purchase the entire original site of
the Alamo, and found themselves
decidedly short OF finances, Miss
Driscoll came to the rescue with a
check for $4,000 and saved the
day.
Miss Driscoll lives most of the
time in San Antonio, near where
she has a ranch, and other invest
rents, which it is said, bring her
an enviable income. Chronicle.

His Wish.

The following scolloquy actually
occurred during one of the earlier
battles in the Philippines. A de-
tachment of American infantry,
under orders to support section
of Captain Reilly's battery, were
halted for quite a while on a per-
fectIy fat military road in full view
and fine range of the Filipino
trenches. Of course, to lie fiat on
the road was the only available
use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irish
man who had served his time with
the colors in the British Army be-
fore ne enlisted with Uncle Sam.
As a recruit he had been very prone
to tell how the British soldiers did
everything. As a result he was in
cessantly piled with questions as
to his experiences. While the bull
lets were plopping" down the
road and kicking up the gravel,
young Yankee suddenly asked,
Say, Mike what do the British
soldiers do with their heads in a
place like this?"
Quick as fash came the retort,
"a British soldier has no head,
sorrl"
After full two-minute pause,
Mike continued, However, be
that as it may, l wish l could pick
up this d - road and stan it on
edge fernist me!"-Harper' S Week

Wheat lmportatiOns for August.

Guadalajara, ex.-Government
statistics show that during the
month of August, the last for
which figures are now available,
American wheat to the value of
$3.50, TAT gold was imported. In
the same month the American
corn imported had a value of
S53. 563 gold. In August, 1904
no American wheat was imported
into Mexico and American corn to
the value of only $15,153 The
increased importations are explain
ed by the scarcity of both wheat
and corn in Mexico and, in Connec-
.tion with wheat, to the reduction
in the import duty. In the eight
months of the present year ending
Aug. 81, the total value of Ameri-
can wheat imported was 1924, OH
GOLD. against a value of S15,22S in
the corresponding eight months of
tbe preceding year; and the total
va1ue of the American corn was
1901. oo3 gold, against value of
S7s 90 In addition to the i'm
carnations of American wheat,
American wheat -four to the value
of s2o3, e95 gold was purchased by
a1exico in the eight months.
