About the most disappointed
young man in Brownsville is Gus
Kowalski, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Benz. Kowalski. 1t will be remem-
bered that Gus, in company with
his brother, Bernie, left last week
j. resume his studies at A. & M
College. His hopes were high for
a successful term, and being the
Youngest member of his class of
more than 100 boys, Gus hoped to
do a good years work. But our
hopes are often blasted. and the
young has seen his desires, for the
present, at least, go glimmering.
This was caused by his eyes
failing, him, the physician advising
him to give up his studies tenn
porarily and take rest. He ac-
cordingly rendered his resignation
and returned home Saturday. THE
HERALD is very sorry the young
man was compelled to forego the
pleasures and profits of the school
term, but hopes his eyes will be
sufficiently restored to allow his
return for next term. He is young
yet and has time to finish his stud
les. Gus has made splendid pro-
gress and being the youngest
member of the Junior class, his
ambition to continue to the finish
was a laudable one, and he nat
urally feels keenly the necessity of
discontinning his studies.

Ercessive Grief.

Lord Brampton related that once
while he was plain John Hawkins he
defended q man for wife murder. The
prisoners two children, dressed in
black and sobbing violently, were in
court, and their grief and the lawyers
eloquent speech combined to acquit the
defendant. That evening at dinner he
met an old inhabitant Of the neighbor-
hood, who complimented him upon his
speech. However," he added, II think
that If you had seen what I did when
driving past the prisoners cottage last
week you would not have painted the
home in such glowing colors. The little
children who sobbed SO violently in
court this morning and to whom you
made such pathetic reference were
playing on an ash heap nea their cot
tage, and they had a poor cat with a
string round it's neck swinging back
ward and forward, and as they did SO
they sang:
This is the way poor daddy will go,
This is the way poor daddy will go!f
"Such, Mr.. Hawkins, was their ex-
cessiye grief"

nagel ranch Of Peter LANCER for
$4,000. Philip Bender bought 100
acres OF il for $500. A little over
$40 acres of the ranch west of the
river was sold to a brother-in-law

understand Chris LANCER takes the
balance of the ranch at 49, 800,
making in all $4,000 for the en-
tire ranch which Peter LANCER
paid $3.50 for when he bought it
three years ago. This Is a hand
some profit to make in SO short a
time besides the good crops that
the last three years have yielded to

Humors of the Law.

Law and equity are two things which
God has Joined together and nan has
put asunder.
When a prisoner in Justice Maule's
court vas asked whether he had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be pronounced upon him, he replied, Il
wish God may strike me dead if I stole

minute and then said: Prisoner, as
Providence has not interfered I must.

In the sixteenth century, it is alleged
there was a successful effort made TO

ing of a cash surrender value in poll
cies and the elimination of the loan
feature. He expressed somewhat Of 3

such and not as an investment.

poses had ever been made by the

had been able 10 learn.

pany had come under the observation

RESCUE ITALIAN LABORER9.
Three Daring Swimmers Perform
Brave Deed.

New York, Dec. 20.-Three daring
swimmers during the day rescued the
two Italian labOrcrs who for more than
forty hours had been imprisoned in
the East river tunnel Of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad by a cave-in at the Long
Island City end of the underwater
bore.
Surrounded by water which threat
ened to engu1f them the moment the
compressed air should fail to hold 1t
In check, the two entOmbed men kept
up constant communication with the
surface by rapping on the pipes, which
brought them air. They were almost
exhausted when the three men swan
up to the platform on which they
stood. It was with difficulty that the
rescuers induced the frightened men
to plunge into the water they had
dreaded so long. Finally this was &C
cOmplished, however, the two stronger
swimmers Of the three each taking a
man upon his back while the third
swan alongside to lend assistance in
ease Of need.
Ever since the Cavc-in, which filed
the shore end Of the bore where the
men were working with water, more
than 100 laborers had worked despe-
rately to sink a shaft to the point
where the imprisoned men were
thought to be. Late in the day they
reached the concrete top Of the tunnel
and the work became so slow that 1t
seemed the men could not be reached
while alive, SO the plan Of rescuing the
| imprisoned men with swimmers was
| then successfully tried. Benjamin
Lewis, Charles Murdorn and Philip Ed
| londO performed the difficult and dar
| ing feat in the icy waters.
