they heard alst Sunday night.
Their visit here was great pleas

and weep Ger a mimic wrong,
Our woes are the woes of the voice
less; our griefs are unheeded
in song
You say that the same God made us,
When before His throne you
COME
Shall you clear yourselves in His
presence on the plea that He
made us dumb?
Are your hearts too hard to listen to
a starving kittens cries?
Or too gay for the patient pleading in
dogs beseeching eyes?
Behold US, your little brothers
starving, beaten, oppressed
Stretch out hand to help US that we
may have food and rest.
Too long have we roamed neglected,
too long have we sickened
with fear,
The mercy you hope and pray for,
you can grant us now and
here.

In Fridays Corpus Christi Herald
appears an article in reference to
the last game of ball played here on
Thursday between The Corpus
Christi team and the Bro Rnies
which states that the Corpus Chris
ii players stated upon their return
to Corpus that they had to let
Brownsville win the last game to
avoid trouble. Now, The Herald's
baseball editor, appreciates a first
class fabricator, as well as any one,
but the author of that statement
pleases him most too well, for the
statement is absolutely without any
grounds whatsoever. The Corpus
aggregation played their best to
take the last game from the Brown
les, but were simply outclassed and
Outplayed, which is alone response
bic for their defeat. In another ar
icle published in the same paper of
a different date it stated that the
Brownsville people declared that
the first game was not won fairly,
but that Merritt dropped the long
lily of PALMS to deep center This
is also false, for there is not a sin
gle fan in Brownsville who has not
declared that Merritt's catch of that
fly was as pretty a catch as was
ever made on the field 1t was that
catch that saved the day for Corpus
Christi, and when it was made, ev-
cry man in the grandstand arose as
with one accord and applaude0 it
1t seems, however, that It IS as ir.-
possible for the Corpus aggregation
to even come near the truth as it
is for a billy goat to sing a vocal
solo

The Cry of the Little Brothers.

(The good St. Francis of Assist
called all animals his little broth
ers and sisters.)
We are the little brothers, homeless
in cold and heat,
FourfOoted little beggars, roaming
the city street
Snatching a bone from the gutter
creeping thro' alleys drear,
Stoned and sworn at and beaten, our
hearts consumed with fear.
You pride yourself on the beauty of
your city fair and free,
Yet We are dying by thousands in Gov
erts you never see.
You boast of your mental progress, of
your libraries, schools and
halls;
But we who are dumb denounce you
as we crouch beneath their
walls.
You sit in your tinseled playhouse

admirably while in Jail and their con-
duct won for them a recommendation
from the officials when they were
given their freedom. They aided VIII
son in securing a position with Mr..
Bahnsen, who hired him to help in his
stables. Wilson repaid the kindness
by presenting checks apparently sign
ed by his employer, to Leo Vemere and

several others as we'll. The signature
appeared genuine and Vemere and
Schwecke cashed the checks which
amounted to about $40 This occurred
