BOYS IN BLUE
At Fort Sam Houston Have No Kick
Coming-Big Christmas Dinner.
(Herald speclal.I


San Antonio, Texas, Dec 24.-That
the boys in blue at Fort Sam Hous-
ton have no kick coming in the mat
ter of Christmas dinner and its trim
mings, will be seen from the provi-
sions made by the post quartermaster.
Like Napoleon, that worthy seems to
be of the opinion that an army travels
on its stomach The following are
the items making up the spread at the
various company messes: Turkey,
300 pounds; oysters, 500 gallons;
cranberries, 33S gallons; pies, 1000;
oranges, 200; pineapples, 500; candy,
500 pounds; nuts, 500 pounds; raisins,
500 pounds; ice cream, 175 gallons;
cocoanuts, 200; fish, 1850 pounds;
olives, 21,OO0 round, juicy individuals.
In addition to this there is beer and
claret, likewise cigars, and the ma
teral for the demi-tasse.
Since the posts garrison consists
of some two thousand men, it will be
seen that more than a pound of
luscious turkey meat goes to each
soldier. There is likewise a pie for
each man, and ten olives to change
the taste between the courses.

GOVERNMENT is BROKE.
This Is the Statement of Congressman
SIayden of Texas.
CHerald Specially

(Herald Specially
San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 24-That
the government has empty pockets
and will continue to have them for
some time as the result of the tariff
measure enacted last summer, is the
opinion of James L. Slayden, congress
man from this district.
The tariff measure enacted last
summer" he said, is disappointing to
its friends as a revenue producer. The
deficit since July 1, which is the be-
ginning of the fiscal year, is now
about $30,OOO,OOO Practically all the
money that the treasury has had on
deposit with the national banks has
been called in, and the simple fact is
that the government is broke, or near
ly so. With that condition existing
it is clear that rigid economy is nee
essary."
Mr.. Slayden made this statement
when asked about improvements the
government has in contemplation at
Fort Sam Houston.

Circular Skirt.

The skirt that takes straight lines
and which is close fitting is the one
that is in greatest demand at this
time, and this circular model is grace
full in the extreme, while conforming
to all the requirements. 1t can be
made either with or without the seam
at the front and with or without
adapted both to narrow and to wide
materials. In the illustration chiffon
broadcloth is made with the seam at
the centre front only and with the
hem interlined with flannel to give
needed weight, but all suiting and all
skirting materials are appropriate
The seams over the hips are in every
way desirable for narrow material, as
they do away with unsightly piecing,
and they also can be utilized for any
material that has tendency to sag
as the straight edges of the back por-
tions prevent stretching, but the plain
circular skirt is handsome one, and
many women prefer it to every other
sort.
The skirt can be made in one, two
or four pieces, as the seams at the
front and over. the hips are used OF
omitted. 1t is perforated for walking
