THE WAY THEY DO IN TEXAS.

A new saloon law. or rather, a new
rule concerning the closing of sa-
looms, has just been adopted by the
CITY of Houston. Saloons in that
place have heretofore had the privi-
lege of keeping open all night if
their owners so desired. The new law
fixes the closing hour at 1 a. m. Mid
night was the hour first suggested,
and the Houston Post declares that
an hour earlier would be preferable
to an hour later thai midnight, but
that any limit is better than Ion
ger federation of all-night saloons.
A novel feature of the ordinance is a
provision assessing a penalty against
the buyers as well as the seller of Ii
quor within the prohibited hours. He
is thus made a party to the %offense,
whether with the idea that he con
spires with the seller to violate the
law we do not know. But if such a
provision were commonly included in
ordinances regulating the sale of Ii
quor it would put an end to the sys-
tenn of tempting saloon keepers to vic
late the law in order to make a case
against them. This would be the
ruin of a practice that has attractions
for some jealous promoters of public
order.-Albuquerque Journal.

Leopards prey on goats, sheep and,
when they can get them, on tame dogs;

and mice But. though the jungles
which they visit abound in defenseless

his attacks to these The packs de-

Carlton Cross, another guest at the
house. failed TO interest Tom very no
ticeably. although Miss Latch appeared
TO like him Cross was spending few
weeks i'll town settling up an estate for
which he was counsel. He devoted
his evenings TO Il pretty obvious effort
TO settle the estate of matrimony SO far
as Miss Latch and he We're concerned.
Every evening after supper the two
sat on the broad porch while sun
set glorilied the valley below them and
twilight crept out Of the deepest wood,
where it had been lurking and hiding
from the sun all day.
Tom Redding worked in one Of the
drug stores Of the village That meant
that his evenings went into the drug
gist's profits till such time as he could
command a store Of his own and hire
some other poor soul to work for him.
That was the end toward which Tom
was slowly advancing but for the pres
ent he was forced to pass out of the
door after supper, walk reSolutoy
across the porch to where the more fa-
vored man and the girl they both want
ed sat. and with a brave spontaneous
cheerfulness bid them good evening.
On two or three occasions Cross had
spared him this pain by taking the girl
off for drive. That was worse yet.
1t is true, Tom had his Sundays, but
part of these he always spent with his
mother. He felt that Cross was forg-
ing ahead of him in the race. The thing
that discourag ged Tom most was this.
As he walked downtown he thought Of
the beauty Of the long evening that was
just beginning. Having thrilled, him
self, under the spell of twilight, he
feared its power upon Thisbe Latch.
"If that clever chap" thought Tom,
half knows his business and says the
right thing and keeps still at the right
time, I'm afraid there's no chance for
me" But it was not his way to be
melancholy for long. He vowed if the
other man did get her he would at
least make little place for himself in
her memory.
He thought of her through the day,
and every night he passed her on his
way dOwntO\yn he had some word
commonplace II might be - that was
charged with fhe days repressed afec-
