The Climates the thing in
San Antonio.

The invigorating air, dry and
warm; the altitude; the perfect
natural drainag., all combine to
make the temperature as nearly
perfect as can be. 1t is possible to
spend most Of each day, from No
vember to March, outdoors. The
parks and plazas. the margins Of
the creeks and rivers, the groves
of palm and magnolia, lose nothing
of their lustrous green during the
winter months.

ity and beauty, with the romanct
and heroism of the medieval.

hall mark of a knockers compact.

so assiduously strives to prove?
Is Honolulu indeed the hell hole of

plot organ of the morning insists that
1t is?
The business men, the thinking men,
the men who work for progress in Ha-
wall know that It is not.
Such being the case. II is up to them
TO determine how long the Knockers
Compact represented in the morning
paper is to continue destroying the
good name of the town and thereby
work continuous moral and financial
injury.

Letters of Marque.

Letters OF marQue and reprisal, as
they were called, were first issued in
the time Of Edward I. to give leave to
retaliate beyond the marches or limits
of a country for wrongs suffered at
the hands of a power nominally at
peace. In this first instance they were
aimed at Portugal. About a hundred
years later two Hanse towns in Neck
lenburg, wishing to relieve their
prince, who was beleaguered in Stock
holm, issued letters Of marque-
thieves letters, as the sufferers called
them-to all the rascals Of the Baltic,
authorizing them to victual the besieg-
ed city. This done, they turned them
selves into a ~confederacy of sea rob-
,bers known as Victualing brothers. or
st. Nitalius' brothers, and rendered
the Scandinavian seas unsafe for half
a century.
