A GOOD TRAIT.

Admiral Dewey praised certain

"Part of his success" said Dewey,
"comes from his neat way of getting
people to do what he wants them to.
"They say that when, as young
fellow of ~, he first opened little
trimming store, he showed this trait.
"Thus, if you went in his tiny en-
porium and asked him If he would

smile:

MONTE CARLO HUNCHBACKs.

Gamblers are notoriously supersti-
tious, as all who have visited Monte
Carlo know. There you will find a
parasitic class who live on the super
stition of the frequenteTs Of the tables.
They are hunchbacks, and the gam
blers imagine that they are certain to
have a run of luck after touching the
humps of these unhappy wretches.
Accordingly, one finds at each en-
trance to the Casino row of waiting
huuchbacks ready to bring luck to
anyone who will pay them. Each
has his own list of patrons, and very
comfortable income some of them earn.
Not few of them are normal in
every respect, their humps being SIM
ply padding and teamwork strapped
upon their shoulders. One such was
recently exposed and punished sum-
marily. A rumor had spread among
the gaming fraternity that he was
fraud, so one of his patrons, instead
of patting him gently on the back as
usual, gave him resounding whack,
which effectually dislodged the bogus
hump.
Having thus effected record quick
cure, the gamesters determined that
their patient must also take the wa
ters in the lake of the Casino gardens
in case he should have a relapse.
After lengthy dip, he was so thor
oughly cured that he left Monte Car
10 never to return. But there are
still bogus mascots at the gaming hall,
and there always will be till the fool
ish superstition dies out.
ONCE saw bare shadow resting
on the side of hill. Seeking its
cause, saw little cloud, bright as
the light, floating in the clear blue
above. Thus it is with our sorrow.
1t may be dark and cherries here on
earth yet look above and you shall
see it to be but shadow of His bright
ness whose name is Love.
"BUr, Willie" said the bad boys
mother, didn't your conscience tell
you you were doing wrong"
"Yes'm," replied Willie, but you
know you told me not to believe every
thing hear. ."-PAiladelbhi0 Press.

COMMITTEE REPORT
JUST AS EXPECTED.
Felt Sure Negro Soldiers Would Be Found
Guilty and President Up held.

That citizens of Brownsville had
no doubt that the senate committee
on military affairs would declare
the shooting up" of Brownsville
IN August, 1906, to have been the
work of the negroes of the Twenty
fifth infantry was evidenced yes
terday afternoon in the court
house.
A HERALD reporter mentioned
to a number of attorneys and
others sitting inside the railing
that the committee had reported to
the senate. Four senator's acted
with Senator Foraker in disagree
ing with the majority" he said.
District Attorney KIeiber then took
a pencil and paper and wrote down
the names of all of the members of
the committee. He then marked
off the names of those who, in his
opinion, would vote that the ne
groes did the shooting. He
marked mo- against the names of
the Others. He had them all
correct when he finished.
The concensus of opinion
throughout the city last evening,
following THE HERALDs ap-
pearance, was that no other course
was open to the senate committee,
in view of the evidence given be-
fore it at its many sessions. 1t
was certain, of course, that
Senator Foraker, who called the
investigation more to further his
own political ends than to dol
justice to anyone as one man put
1t, would return a minority report
to the effect that no case had been
made against the negroes, but
there was no doubt but that there
would be big majority against
him and his small coterie.
The Investigation on the part of |
the committee was long and
thorough. Every witness who |
knew even the slightest thing about |
the raid of the negroes was called |
to the stand and given a thorough |
examination. Among this number
were few who were of the opinion |
that the soldiers had nothing to do |
with the shooting, but they were
very few, and their testimony was
such that the statements of the
great majority of those who were
examined overrulled them.
Citizens of Brownsville will
watch with interest the fight to be
made within a day or so on the
floor of the senate. That the body
will accept the majority report of
the military affairs committee is a
foregone conclusion. This will
uphold the action of President
Roosevelt in discharging the three
companies of the Twenty-ffth re-
,iment, comprised in Mayor Pen
-oSe'S command.

A carload of grape cuttings has

from A. Hanson of Mercedes, who

Der. will plant several hundred

on Lake Campacaus, is now in
condition. Mr.. Hanson
says the water will be turned iuto
the canal IN three weeks.
The matter of organizing a vol
unteer fire company is being
seriously considered by some OF
our leading citizens. A call for
a meeting of all whe are interest
ed to be held Saturday evening has
been issued by M. Hanson, who
was chief of the former fire de
partment here, which demised
some years ago. 1t is to be sup
posed that everyone in the town
would be interested in such a move,
and there should be a very large
meeting held. Mr.. HanSon's call
is published in this evenings
