Pats Generosity.

The following little story is illus
trative of the true inwardness char
actcrizing the demand certain peo-
pie are always making for a more
equal distribution of the nation 5
and the worlds wealth and other
good things.
Pat and Mike were discussing
socialism, and Pat said:
Mike, I've turned socialist. "
And why are you a socialist"
says Mike.
well" says Pat, I'm tired of
seeing men like Rockefeller and
Carnegie sporting their hundreds
of millions. A hundred thousand
dollars is enough for any man, and
they ought to be compelled to divide
that with anybody who needs it
worse than they do.
Mike-"Well, if you had hun'
dred thousand and l had none,
would you divide it with mes"
Pat would"
Mike-"And if you had two
horses would you give me one OF
theml"
Pat would. Sure one horse
is enough for any man"
Mike-"And if you had two
pigs, would you give me one Of
themp"
Pat" All. now, sure, Mike, you
know have two pigs and they arc
not more than / want myself; SC
divil a pig will you get from me.
Mike--"Ye're liberal wild what
We haven't got, Pat, but stingy wild
what We have"

GRADING BEGUN
On the New Railroad Through the Nueces
ValIey-E. e. Churchill Visits
Corpus Christi.

Among the arrivals in Corpus
Christi Tuesday night was l.. F..
Churchill, of Fort Worth, who
spent Wednesday here looking over
the Bluff City. A Caller man met
him at the Constantine Wednesday
night. Mr.. Churchill, who is con-
nected with a new railroad enter
prise, the Nueces Valley railroad,
recently chartered, said he had lit
tie to give out at present; said that
he expected TO be here again soon
when he would have more to say.
Mr.. Churchill left for Sinteh yes
terday morning.
From the San Antonio Express
we notice the following from Art
esia: Actual grading on the line
of the Nueces Valley, Rio Grande
& Mexico railroad was started
Wednesday by the contractors,
Ward & Lee, at a point on the
Coleman ranch, six miles west Of
Artesia. f. T.. Churchill, of Fort
Worth, who is connected with the
enterprise, says that the exact
point where the new road will cross
the I. & G.. n. is yet to be deter
mined upon, but that il will so to
Artesia if sufficient inducements
are offered. If not il will probably
cross two miles north of Artesia in
the direction of Tilden, still keep
ING within the artesian belt. 1t is
the intention of the builders to
complete twenty miles in the direc-
ton of Carrie Springs in time to
handle the present seasons onion
crop.
Mr.. Churchill says that the new
road will traverse the best part OF
the Southwest Texas truck grow
ing section, passing through such
well proven territory as that at Car
RIO Springs, Artesia and Beeville.
Much of the undeveloped lands be
tween these places will probably
prove as good, especially that be-
tween Garlic Springs and Artesiar
which is supposed to lie in the same
artesian belt. Corpus Christ

CORPUS CHRISTI SCORES.
Rivers and Harbors Bill Will Provide for
Survey Of Turtle Cove Channel.

Corpus Christi, Tex. Jan 27.
The following telegram received
this evening from Congressman
Garner by President Royal Givens
of the Corpus Christi Board of
Trade, has caused general enthus-
iasm to our citizens and Congress
man Garner is being highly praised
generally:
Washington, Jan. 27.-The Riv-
ers and Harbors bill will carry
$500, 900 for Arkansas Pass and also
provides for a survey of Turtle
Cove channel at Corpus Christi.
1t also appropriates $500 for
survey of intercoastal canal.
JoHN n. GARNER.
This appropriation insures the
completion of the deep water work
at Arkansas Pass and the establish
ment of a big seaport at Corpus
Christi, as the Turtle Cove enamel
survey referred to will cause the
construction of a straight channel
from Arkansas Pass direct into Cor
pus Christi bay and cut down the
present distance traversed between
Corpus Christi and Arkansas Pass
at least one-half.
Corpus Christi felt assured of
securing the necessary appropria-
ton ever since Rivers and Harbors
Committee visited the Pass and
Corpus Christi and saw the urgent
necessity of completing the harbor
Improvement work at Arkansas Pass,
which will now be done with the
new appropriation for which Con-
gressmen Garner, Burgess and
Slayden worked so hard to secure.

STAGE STORIES.
Sympathetic Spectators Upset Equili'
brium of Actors.

Oscar Eagle, stage manager for
Liebler & Co., relates an instance
of quick curtain" that took place
years ago at the old Front Street
Theatre, Baltimore, when he was
playing with Frank Chanfrau, i'll
Kit, the Arkansas Traveller. "
Eagle had the good old time lead
ing part of Manuel Bond. The
scene was being enacted where he,
as the villain, is disguised as a
deck hand on board a river steamer,
and is lurking behind a smoke
stack for three or four minutes,
watching his chance to stab Kit in
the back. His hiding place was
in full view of the audience,
which was watching his murderous
intention with breathless suspense.
Among them, seated in the first
balcony, was a party of sailors,
deeply intent on the stage as only
those are who seldom see a play.
As Bond was advancing, with
uplifted knife, upon the unsuspect-
ING Kit. one of the sailor lads was
so carried, away with the realism
of the scene that he yelled at the
top of his voice:
Look out, Kit he's a-goin' to
stab youl"
OF course that was the end
of the seriousness of the scene,
and a delay of minute ensued,
which was more painful to the two
actors than to the audience, which
laughed itself hoarse. At length,
to end the predicament that the
sympathetic sailor had caused,
Chanfrau exclaimed to Eagle:
For Heavens sake stab me
and get the curtain down." which
murderous act Eagle quickly per-
formed, followed by a very quick
curtain.
A similar interruption, by q
friendly inclined auditor, took place
when Esther Lyon (Mrs. Eagle)
was playing Trilby. in the play of
that name. In the last act is a
scene where Trilby, who has been
under the hypnotic Influence of
Svengali during his lifetime, sees
photograph of that wicked play
parsonage. At the sight of the
face of the man who so long held
his horrible power over her, so
shocks the girl that her death
quickly follows.
When the scene had advanced to
the point where Trilby sees the
photograph, the reassuring voice
of small boy in the gallery came
across the auditorium.
Don't be afraid, lady," said
the boy, he's dead as a door nail
he can't hurt you"

JAPS FOR BROWNSVILLE
Will Plant Rice Along Gulf Coast Lines
A japanese industrial Agent.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 2S.-The
St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
railway is preparing to locate
colonies of japanese rice farmers
on its lines in the Brownsville sec
ton and in order to facilitate this,
r. Ornishi, whose great success in
connection with the Japanese col
ony at Webster is we'll known. has
been appointed an industrial agent
for the road and given direct super
vision of the work.
The plans formed include the
locating of many hundreds of
Japanese in the border section dur
ing the present year. Experiments
have shown the Brownsville coun-
try TO rank very high for rice
growing purposes and the next few
years is certain to witness gigantic
strides along that line.
Report has it further that plans
for the vigorous prosecution OF
this work are rapidly taking shape
and will soon be officially announc-
ed.

oehce OF the qualities of Beldame. the
mare that became the sensation of the
racing season. will tomorrow mark the

sport are confident that 1905 will be pro-
ductlVe of as high a class of racing as
mas ever been witnessed throughout the
country.
One of the factors which il is believed
VIII tend to this result will be the opening
Tor the first time of Belmont park at

the Westchester Racing association
which this year has abandoned the his
.torlc course in the Westminster Hills
Morris park. The Inauguration of Bel
mont park will follow the meetings at
Aqueduct and Jamaica. these occupying
the first two places on the calendar
That the Carter handicap field will be
a large one and the race a hard fought
contest is evidenced by the fact that to-
night twenty-one horses. among them the
best sprinters in training. are posted as
starters, and only four of these are said
to be doubtful
The race will be run as the fourth on
the programme.
