A Passport Into Heaven.

The Press has no desire to press
collections due it by delinquent
subscribers apy more than is alb.
solutely warranted. Our sub.
scrlption list Is in excellent con-
dition. We take this means,
however, of impressing upon
some of our subscribers, the fact
that we have several hundred
dollars in subscriptions scattered
over all parts of the Concho
country. The date marked oppo-
site each subscribers name is u
statement of itself.
Now, we can not, of course,
send collector TO all, aud would
therefore, highly appreciate it if
the delinquents, or rather our
forgetful standbys, would remit
us the money, or (much better)
call in person the next time they
are i'll San Angelo.
Come along and settle with
your old faithful, open, loyal
friend, The Press, who has stood
by you and will continue to stand
by you forever and day.
We have carefully prepared ex-
quisitely beautiful receipts, ex-
cellently designed by our able, in
genious and ingenious staff artist,
and these can be neatly framed at
very small cost and used az

arranged it all right with Saint
Peter and all of these Press re-
ceipts will be honored by him Mt

gate. And, too, it might help
into Heaven the poor mortal
souls of We cordial friends, the
publishers.

..Canght in the Cyobd..

Following is a narration of all
experience Of F. +. Spooner and
will probably appeal to some who
have seen the 1.-TWO Orphans. "
Asked about the story by news
reporter, Mr.. Spooner confirmed
the little rehearsal, which, tho it
may have few whiskers and q
touch of rheumatism, is worth the
while repeating.
1t was about thirteen years ago
when the Spooners first appeared
here.
Mr.. Spooner was acting the part
of Jacques Froochard, the outlaw,
and little Miss Allie Spooner, a
girl of eleven years, was playing
the blind girl, Louise (and both
appeared in these self-same casts
just last Thursday night. The
play was fairly we'll advanced and
Mr.. Spooner, as the uncouth and
villaiaous Jacques, cruelty kicked
the poor blind girl from her rest
ing place upon the miserable mat,
when suddenly a big, rough COW
puncher of the then frontier
Southwest land with the typical
compassionate heart of the man
of the praires) arose on one of
the front rows and shouted
stop right where you are"
COMPATIBILITY punctuating his re-
marks, of course). After a short
while the play proceeded, but
thereafter Mr., Spooner kept a
close eye on the would-be rescuer.
After the show Mr.. Spooner
dropped in at McCloskey's saloon |
and called for "three fingers"
Several of his friends were stand
ing around looking on" and Mr.,
Spooner asked the rescuer, who
was among the bystanders, to also
have the pleasure. "Look here"
the COW puncher fairly shouted,
"ain't you the fellow what kicked |
that poor, helpless girl l wouldn't
never drink with you, you--I
YOU" (contiuued in our next).
Well, to bring to a close this mar
ration of a bit of Western dra-
matte history, we will state that
the matter was settled very
peaceably. Mr.. Spooner, however,
says that he will never forget the
incident. And, could you?

IN AdvertIsinr TricI..

One of the most amusing incidents
relative to sleek advertising was a
trick on the Chicago newspapers sew
eral years ago. One of the partners Of
a firm went into court and fled a bill
for injunction to restrain the other
partner from sacrificing the goods in
their store at figures far below first
cost.
The plaintiff set forth in detail that
his partner had with some insane de-
sire marked al the goods in the store
down below cost. Then he went into
details and showed how different arti-
cles were being sacrificed, nOtwith-
standing his protest, and asked the
court TO issue an injunction and re-
strain the fractions partner. 1t was
a strange fight and the newspapers
took it up and devoted columns to the
novel case.
The result was that people on the
lookout for bargains focked to the
store and purchased goods. Day after
day the hearing for an injunction was
delayed, and finally, when the free ad.
had been worked to its end, the suit
was dismissed without prosecution, the
whole cost to the firm for thousands
of dollars worth Of advertising being
about S25.

WHIMSICAL CHARITIES.

Some of Them Work Out Very Well
In the Long Run.
Many people who wish to bestow
charity have strange ways Of carrying
out their ideas Some years ago an
Englishman named James Moss left
$500 to be invested in land, the rent Of
which was to provide five gowns, &C
cordlng to the will, "of a sad blue col
orr for as many aged and poor men
living in the town.
Some years ago a Frenchman named
Bourne died and left to the poor of his
town a few acres of no great value.
For more than two centuries the lands
yielded only a few dollars a year. The
nearest large town began TO spread
and soon took in these lands. The val
ne increased amazingly, so that today
the revenue from them amounts to
over $4,000 a year. From this sum
sixty-eight poor people draw pensions
Of $50 a year and twenty-fouF old men
and women live rent free and enjoy an
annual present Of $50 besides.
A similar charity, which has benefit
ed many people, is that founded by
William France At bis death he left
lands valued at a few thousand dollars
for Christmas gifts to his needy fellow
townsmen. The revenue has now pass
ed into hundreds and the sum Of S22,-
500 is now distributed annually in the
town. OF this sum $4,000 has been
contributed to. a local technical school
and an infirmary. One Of the strang-

Or. Porter on Situation.
State Health Officer Porter, last
night in speaking Of the large num-
Der Of new cases. said:
Il am not disappointed as forecast
ed eight or ten days ago that we would
have such an increase, so ii did not
come unexpected. Now the situation
is such that the citizens must assist in
getting rid of the mosquito, especially
in houses where sickness has occurred.
The very first sign of sickness should
Dc reported Immediately to the health
authorities in order that they may take
the proper steps. The bed chamber
OF the patient must be first fumigated,
and then the remainder of the house. l
This must be done within the first
three days of the infection.
Now, this must be done. and the /
health officials are going to insist upon /
IL. even though il be necessary to carr /
a patient from a sick room in the arms /
ana place him in another room. If we
want 10 get rid of this fever in less /
than two months the citizens must as.
sist the officials. There must be no /
impediments placed in the way of FUN I
igatiOn and screening, but on the
other hand all should cheerfully assist I
In the eradication Of the mosquito and .
stamping out of the disease"
The physicians are doing everything /
possible. as well as the state health
to stamp out the disease, /
but they are not meeting with that
that should be extended \
them. Instead of throwing obstacles
in their way the residents should be
glad to assist in the work of eradicat-
ing the mosquito, and unless this is
done there is no possible chance of
stopping the spread of the disease. Il
has now reached such a stage that this I
must be done. and the authorities in
tend seeing that no more obstacles are
thrown in the way of those who are
TO rid the city of fever.
