Like every Texas city, San Antonio
is very rapidly losing large number
of it's people. They are scattering all
over the country but when the aut
umn begins to make it's appearance
they will as rapidly return to their
glorious home climate. The people
have become great travellers. While
San Antonians are pleasure seeking,
many families are moving to this city.

persuading old Hank to drink it, but
finally he does, and it no sooner reaches
his stomach than he keels over on the
floor, mighty sick man, and in three
days he was dead--dead, sah-dead as

over the remains of old Hank and we
found that he was so tarnation mean
that when he drank the Milk of HUI

stomach and he died of indigestion.

Far out across the marsh lands Bob
White called cheerily to his mate; the

behind us. The genial Colonel from
behind the bar came and set another
round of his famous tongue-looseners
on the table between us. And we
drank in silence.
"By the way, Colonel" said ], to
break the silence, "this is mighty fine

case all that reminds us of him that
was mortal there will be nothing but
dust. He will crumble, but from his
body will fall out a papyrus which en-
bodies all the secrets of the gods of Isis
and Osiris and which through so many
years have been handed down to only
the chosen. You are he who will carry
to regions afar the true meaning of
those sciences known to other races as
mesmerism, hypnotism and clairvoy-
ancy. 1t will be IN thy power, oh
blessed Isorisis. to clasp the hand of
thy friend or thine enemy, to read his
past and his future and to thee at the
last worthy successor will be pointed
out. Fear not to take my mantle up
on thee. Use wisely the powers l am
about to give thee aud though you can
not tell thine own future, I foresee it,
even as my eyes grow dim and my men,
tai vision plain. Thy past has not been
clean. Thy days of folly are not all
spent. A great trouble will fall on thee
and thy loved ones. The cause will be
of thine own seeking, but from that
trouble thou shalt have time to take
thoughts of thy future and thou shalt
arise from the ashes of thy past to a
true manhood, credit to thy loved
ones, to thy country and to thyself."
Even as he thus spoke it was appar-
ent his mission on earth was filled.
With the unrolling of Pharoall's body

The writing of this story will not
have been in vain if some will cultivate
as their motto: "Know thyself." We
all know our past, we know our weak
nesses, we know what pitfalls and
temptations we ought to avoid in the
future, and knowing these things W.

Some rroubles Of a Pianist.

Harold Bauer, the pianist, has had
some curious experiences during his
travels.
While playing In Barcelona he was
challenged to fight a duel by an ex-
cited member Of the audience whom
he had reproved for disturbing the re-
cital by his noisy conduct On another
occasion, in Italy, he had to be car
ried through an underground tunnel
to escape the attentions of frantic ad-
mirrors.
One Of his most extraordinary expe-
riences was in Russia. 1t was in a
little town near Moscow, and in the
middle of his performance the pianist
was arrested by the police on the
grounds, that he was obtaining money
under false pretenses. The police ac-
tion was based on the grounds thai d

gram and that there were no dancers.

DOING ONE STUNT.
This is EminentIy the Day of the
Specialist.

This is EminentIy the Day of the
Specialist.
In the business world this is pre-eml-
ncntly the day of the specialist. Never
before was such a premium set upon
excellence.
To put It in the yernacular Of the
times, which makes up in expressive
ness what 1t lacks in elegance, this is
the day when the person succeeds who
can truly boast one stunt, or, to quote
the time hohored fable, when the cat
Of one shift stands In the vanguard
and the fox of many shifts is dele
gated to the rear
The man OF ambition who asplres to
successful business career takes this
lesson to heart and shapes his plans
accordingly.
Too often the woman who knocks Mt
the door of the workuday world is
either ignorant that such law OBJ
tains or, weakly counting upon her sex
to gain favor and concessions, totally
dlsregards It and thereby courts fall
ure III the outset.
The day has gone by when the wo-
man who has a smatterlng knowledge
can hope for business recognition or
fill position OF even secondary i'm
portance.
This does not imply that ones life
must be narrowed down to one idea.
On the contrary, the successful wo-
man must learn little of everything
that tends to enllghten. She must
learn more of the things which shape
the we'll balanced intellect and well
rounded character, but If the coveted
prize is to be gained she must know
all that can be known of some one
thing.
The woman thus equipped cannot
only find n footing, but, what is vastly
more to the point, hold 1t.
Even the social world has become In.
fected with this idea. and the woman
who wins the plaudlts is not she who
has showing of many accomplish
ments. but the woman of one stunt in
which she excels.

FAVORS PLAN
For Development Of Water
ways Of US.

Washington, D. c, April e5. v
Il am hardly prepared to endorse a
bond issue Of FIVE hundred million
dollars to develop the waterways Of
che United States. ] believe that
current revenue will be sufficient %
work out some comprehensive system
of waterway development, covering
long period Of years, but should
current revenues fail to meet current
obligations, then ! would not hesitate
to place an additional obligation upon
posterity in order that we may have
in the United States as perfect
network of waterways as have the
countries of Europe. Isay this be-
cause posterity for all time will en-
Joy the vast benefit Of such improve
ment and development"
Senator Stephen B. Elkins, Of
West Virginia, who made the above
statement, as chairman of the Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce and
nc RANKING member of the Com
mittee of Commerce is essentially an
optimist. He believes in the future
of the United States and in his con-
sentative Legislation work has reflect
ed this optimism on numberless
occasions.
What we need most in the
United States is some fixed plan for
improving our rivers which can be
made nayigable by the expenditure
of conservative sum every year.
Piecemeal appropriations are things
of the past, so far as waterway de-
velopment is concerned. We have
been too careless and unmindful Of
the benefits and advantages of these
great water courses with which
nature has so beautifully supplied US
and we have seen whole harbors and
rivers closed up which could have
been kept open. All this should be
prevented and we should harness the
rivers, seas and lakes to do their pro-
portion of the work Of commerce
building as railroads have. The rail-
road goes everywhere, the river has
no feeders, except as it may now and
then have tributary for its course
