The reason is said to be because
of the influence had on the games
by those who bet on the outcome.
Balllnger people like good, square
ball.
Miles too sent crowd Of peo-
pie. There were many familiar
faces among the Miles delegation.
They reported good time, as
good one as they had expected
Of an excursion at any rate. Then
there was the Santa Anna crowd,
the Coleman delegation but the
representation had by any of
them was that of Brentwood,
Brentwood people believe in
backing up their ball team They
believe that baseball does them
good and they pay we'll to support
their team. Managers Low and
Trone were along. Mr.. Low is u
pleasant gentleman and has many
friends in San Angelo. Mr.. Trone
is Il lover Of athletics, a base ball
expert does his share of the "hur-
raining" His little bout with
deacon" Sharpe in front OF the
grundstand was an exhibition Of
quick wittedncss but the San An
gelo man was the quickest. Mr.
Trone good naturally sat down.
After all an experience like
this is good for the town. The
Sunday law was respected by the
saloon men so far as the Press
knows and there was no rowdyism.
The inability of the town to feed
the throng on such short notice
can, and of course will be, over
looked. The eXcursionists are
not such unreasonable people as
not to understand this. Lessons
in handling people and caring for
their wants will be learned and
perhaps if another crowd like this
honors us with their presence,
San Angelo may be better able to
look after their wants.
THE BALL GAME.
Brentwood is outmatched
when playing with San Angelo.
The far westerners are too much
for them. This is proven by the
fact that out of three games on
the Brentwood grounds San An
gelo won two. Sundays game
was further proof.

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. IL
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
costing what you eat without the ston-
ach's aid. The food builds up the
body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet your
self when taking Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. J. d. Erskine. of Allenville,
Mich, says: Il suffered heartburn
and stomach trouble for some time
My sister-in-law has had the same
trouble and was not able to eat for
six weeks. She lived entirely on warm
watsr. After taking two bottles of

Jacket came of the steamer and post
ed a letter across the street. He took
a sharp look at me as he passed, and
on the return trip he paused to con-
verse.
DO you live in Texas? ?" the boy in
quired. with sort Of loving accent on
the Texas"
Been there a couple Of months"
was my answer.
What kind Of a place is it?" he
asked in whisper. at the same time
casting furtive side glance at the
steamer.
There was such an eager tone in
the query that tumbled at once. Here
was a New York cabin boy fatally
stuck on Texas, and my tender scheme
to save such giddy youths blew up in
a fash of new hope. lured him to his
doom the best l know how.

said, fervently. More real sport and
adventure to the square inch than all
the Northern States in bunch. I've
had the time of my life here" I added,
and which was strictly true, but I
omitted details.

hesitated and blushed. ''of stopping off
here awhile. Singing hash at sea is
too slow for me. I've got Smith &
Wesson self-cocker. Think I'll need
it?"
You certainly will assured him,
having seen self-cockers hung up
among the unredeemed pledges for
sale in pawnshop windows.
"Good-by. old pard," said the cabin
boy. wringing my hand warmly, st
must be going. NUNS the word, you
know"
What he meant by that was not
clear to me, but it must have sounded
good to him. AS the future train rob-
Der disappeared aboard ship4I sneaked
into the wharf shed and watched the
gangway through a crack. What If
he should balk? I asked myself in a
torment of doubt. Things had started
my way, and / clung to the crack like
a nervous gambler waiting for the
turn that would make or break. In
half an hour the bullet-headed boy
popped out of the cabin. He wore his
go-ashore clothes, carried a small
bundle and held one hand on his hip
pocket. That must have been the re-
volver ready for instant use. To an
outsider this scene might have sug-
gested humorous features, but was
a sad piece of business. Heaven help
the other bullet-headed boy! And yet
he had more to start with than did
in launching a Texas career. Doubtless
he got along very well while his health
lasted.
No sooner was he clear Of the ship
than 1 broke away from the crack,
went on board and stood around so
that the steward could fall over me
every little while 1t was plain to OBJ
serve that the chief steward was dis
turbed about something. He con-
ferred with his assistants and they
seemed to be searching the ship.
Finally the chief interviewed me.
"Ain't you the boy that wanted to
ship a while ago?" he asked.
Sure" I said.

that her choice had been final. She
had grown weary long before of the
depressing causes of her woe and had
destroyed them a few months after
the husbands departure in the vain
hope that he would return and. not
seeing them, take her back to his heart.
But it was not to be. No other affec-
tion has ever crept into the heart of
either. and although botn are growing
old, such a thing as reuniting life's
broken threads seems too hopeless to
be for moment entertained.
Another case that may serve to show
where a husbands disregard of his
wife's pride broke up home. The man
was a splendid looking fellow and the
wife equally handsome. Both were
much sought after socially. After sew
eral years of matrimonial happiness the
husband suddenly developed a most
alarming repugnance to dress.
When courting his de-that-was-to-
be he had always been exquisitely and
Immediately groomed, which was a
decidedly strong point in his favor.
"He was the cleanest man I ever
saw" she said later, ''and that was a
hobby with me-"
During the first five years Of their
married life he kept up this lovely trait;

than as she intended. The man learned
to dread his home. The effect was hor-
ribly depressing on his sensitive nerves
and he neither ate nor slept until a
physician was called The husband,
after a time, explained: II know it
may seem foolish" he said, "but I
cannot tell you the shock and sensation
/ experience every time I look up at
those dreadful white flowers"
The wife "pooh-poohed" 1t as nom
sense, despite the warning of the doc
tor, who, at last, insisted that the
man must leave home for more cheer
full surroundings. The husband told
his wife very plainly that she must
take her choice between her funeral
wreaths and him. The result was that
the husband left home. closed up his
business affairs and providing her with
barely enough to live on left home.
Lawyers were directed to dispose Of
the home and its contents, giving the
wife only the bedroom furniture, the
funeral stuff and a few other desig-
mated articles.
Even then the wife refused to give

Later he met her at several afternoon
functions where he visibly showed the
lack of a razor's care and wore an old
bicycle cap, rather the worse for wear.

hurt her feelings by asking why he
did not dress, and one day he jestingly
remarked that his wife's hats cost 50
much he could not afford to buy a
decent hat" That broke the woman's
spirit entirely. She never accepted an
invitation after that, but lived the life

he beheld me in tattered overalls and

A couple divorced some years ago
could well trace the origin to a streak
Of morbid sentimentality on the part
of the wife. The love Of the pair was
proverbial, they being quoted every
where as a most devoted couple, who
had passed through the most horrible
vicissitudes only to emerge more help
full and devoted after each. The hus-
band was of an exceedingly sensitive
temperament, ultra-refined IN every
way, which the matter-of-fact wife
could hardly appreciate or understand.
The mother of the wife died and among
the floral funeral offerings were an i'm
mense crown and cross. In those days
there existed quite a fad for embalming
funeral flowers. The wife had this i'm
mense crown, that required an oval
frame about four feet tall, embalmed,
in the center Of which was a large
obituary notice, big enough for gran
ite shaft. This was hung conspicuously
over the mantel in the parlor, while
the huge cross had an equally conspic-
uous place In the bedroom
The light of these morbid reminders
nearly drove the husband frantic. He
begged his wife TO destroy them and Of
fered to build a chapel in the grounds
of their country home for them: but
she would hear to no other disposition
