San Antonio, Tex. September T.-(spe- ,,s,, rhere ia no community in which the sudden demise of Harrimssn, the raii- road wizard, created so deep an impress sion or was heard of with more sincere regrets than that of San Antonio. lnis' notwithstanding the fact that the s'eraso king of finance is a smaller potato In these parts when sized up merely rom the dollar viewpoint than he Is elsewhere The fact of the matter is that dur'ng HIS stay In this city last winter Harriiiiah made more friends than he before hao made in a lifetime. No doubt conoitions were especially favorable for the making of friends. Hartman came here to re- cuperate his strength had shaken oH great many of his business cares ana was .n an ultra genial mood. Then, again. he was thrown among a crowd of men who cared little about the bulge in his pocketbook, but who from experience knew him to be the man of the deed, the man who had done much for San Antonio and southwest Texas by putting It's raii- roads into working shape, and last put not least, who was understood to contem- plate doing more. To that extent at nrst, narhans material considerations entered in the rapproachment.
 There was something in the makeup or the man that appealed to the Texah oi these parts. In the first place ne was democratic and possessed wit that nau just enough cymcism in 1t that piaceo II above the commonplace, and secondly he showed a frankness that was as deign'- ful at times as it was disconcerting. He could talk of the idiosyncrasies Of Texas lawmakers with nary trace of bitter ness in his voice, although as IS "eii known, the possibilities of Texas law making had long been sore puzzle 10 him.
 Thinking 1t fit to bid Hartman well como to San Antonio In some sort or or ficial way, a party of prominent men, headed by the mayor, decided to pay nim a visit at the Hot Wells grounds. where b,s camn was located. After Hartman had invited them to come into his car,
 "Arden." and make themselves at home. the usual talkfest about the weatner' which Hartman found the best possible of course. ensued. From that his health was made the subject of discussion, and as each of his visitors told him in neigh borly way what to do to get rid of his ailrnent Harriman listened with kindly in- terest. Undoubtedly he made mental res ervatiuns about the advice received, but was very grateful. Here evidently was a crowd of men to whom he was more than a mere manipulator of railroad
 finances, men who had lots of red blood in their veins and who were averse to hanging a man before he was tried. What ever reserve he had shown at first fled rapidly.
 "Boys," he said after a while. owing to one of your laws I can't offer you a drink in this car, but would like you l all to take smoke with me. You see the sheriff there and the mayor might run | the bunch of us in, and 1t would hardly l make 2 good impression if tomorrow morning every newspaper in the country l said under a box car heading that . | crowd of San Antonians had been run l in along with Hartman. Have you fig ured out what that would mean to your ] reputation! Why, 1t would simply be your

 Like that young lover of romance, Who loved and gained so gloriously
 The fair princess of France! Because he dared to love 10 high.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE GREEN-EYED MoNsTnR

THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER. The Quidders have some money And put on lots of style, But when they give a blowout The women come and smile, And whisper how the Quidders
 Were once so very poor, And had a hard time keeping
 The wolf way from the door. And Mrs. Quidders neighbors Are telling how that she In other days wore garments As plain as plain could be, Contemptuously declaring
 She wasn't stuck up then And didn't Haunt her diamonds To catch the eyes of men. In close conelave they whisper How hateful she has grown, Since she has lots of servants
 And autos of her own; And how she holds her head up And never thinks of them As worth extended notice,
 Since she's got in the swim. Though Mrs. Quidders kindly And thoughtful as can be, And often helps her neighbors
 And gives to charity, The venomed tongues of envy Assail her more and more; To see another happy
 Makes some folks awful sore.

WHY HE DIDN'T WORRY

WHY HE DIDN'T WORRY. Kind hearts came round and shedding
 tears
 Did wish to go his bail; He smiled smile and calmed their fear. And said he loved the Jail Astonishment grew on each face, He hastened to explain Though some would think me in dis
 grace,
 I really can't refrain From telling you how fine it seems To lead the simple life And spend my days in idle dreams, With sweetest fancies rife. My souls at peace with all the world, My troubled minds at rest; I'm glad, though others lips are curled, To be the city's guest. And thus he talked in pleasant vein And seemed well pleased to stay The reason why was soon made plain. The papers told next day How seven of his former wives Were camping on his trail, And said NO wonder this man thrives; He knows he's safe in jail"

NOTES
PUT ON THE
LAST TOUCHES
Champs Leave Shreveport
Today for a Tour of the
Southern League.

Shreveport, La, March 25.@Chance
and his worlds champions yesterday
put the finishing touches to the train
ing work at Shreveport. and at noon
today. after a brief practice session,
they will depart hence to tackle the
Southern league teams.
The club completed its preliminary
training yesterday and is in grand
shape. and. according to Manager
Chance, in the best condition 1t ever
has been this early in the season.
The chief result of the stay at
Shreveport has been the change Of plan
regarding Slagle. and it is almost Ger
tain now that the Rabbit" will be re-
tanned and continue his career as a
Cub. No official announcement has
been made. but Slagle has shown such
improved form this spring that the plan
for selling him to some minor league
club probably will be dropped. Slagle
is in better condition now than he has
been in two years, the sciatica which
has troubled him appears to have left
him, and some of the National League
clubs that waived claim on his services
will be kicking themselves when they
see him in action.
