Seus-Floto Burro Takes
Delight in Tossing
Funny Clowns.

Patches likes the girls, and espe-
cially does lie glory in posing before
the camera with them. Both he and
the girl belong to the Sells-FIoto
circus which is coming here next
Tuesday.
Patches is one of the burors who
takes great deal of pleasure in
showing how quickly he can unload
a frisky clown from his back to the
delight of youngsters and oldstcrs
as well. He is not at all vicious,
but his training is. so perfect that
he gives the impression of being I'M
rideable.
Let any other than one attired as
a clown come near him and be dis
plays the best Of good nature. He is
particularly fond of children and on
occasion. when having been fed a de-
licious morsel from the hand of a
child, has been known to follow the
generous one as far as possible Just
to show his regard, and incidentally
to receive something more to eat.
This little donkey received his early
training in motion pictures which ac-
counts for his love of posing.

bEXAR FARMERS
AIDE D BY
RAINFALL
Oats Will Be Ready to
Craze Within Ten Days;
More Seed Planted.

Smiles are upon the faces of Bexar
county farmers as rains pour upon
their lands and money into their
| pockets.
Rains. which fell during the past
week mean thousands of dollars. in
that they have seasoned the ground for
fall planting. have given the oats
and alfalfa already planted a good
start, and have maturcd the feed
crops.
The optimistic outlook of the Bexar
county farmer was revealed Saturday
IN a conference between Fred w.
Mally. agricultural agent of the Cham
Der of Commerce and L. a. Berk.
whose farm is ten miles from the city
on the Gonzales road.
Oats in his section of the county
will be ready for grazing in ten days,
Mr. Beck said.
OVERLOOKED AT PROSPECT.
Twenty-Five acres of sorghum on
his farm, which is representative Of
the average farm in the county, is now
ready for harvesting, Mr.. Beck said.
Farmers, who. during recent weeks
before the drouth was broken, saw
anything but bright outlook, Mr..
Beck said, now are overjoyed at the
prospects, and see one of the best
winter seasons in years.
Alfalfa planted before the last
rains, according to Mr.. Beck, are
showing a wonderful growth.
Given a few days of sunshine now.
he said. the farmers can harvest their
feed crops and plant oats.
RAINS SOAKING IN.
While the continued rains of the
past week have delayed the oat plant
ing, Mr.. Beck said, no uneasiness is
felt for the reason that oats can be
planted in this section as late as De-
cember and still make a crop.
Mr.. Beck said the greatest indica-
ton Of the good the rains have been
doing is in the fact that they are
soaking in and seasoning the ground
An experiment Friday. he said.
showed field land to be well soaked
to a depth of II to If inches.
While the rainfall for the present
year is still far below the average.
he said. the slow rains which have
been, falling are being stored so eff
GENTLY as to practically assure spring
crops.

GAS STATION OWNER
VICTIM OF JOKESTER

Proximity Of gas filling stations in
the Summit avenue district is furnish
ing sport for the patrons of each. Mon
day The Light published a story OF the
finding of Illicit liquor in one Of the
filling stations in this vicinity. The
proprietor. who told the police the
liquor had been left as a sample by n
boOtlegger. gave his address when ar
rested as Summit avenue.
In consequence the proprietor Of the
only filling station on Summit avenue
has been the butt of jibes from his
friends, when they call to fill the motor
tanks. The joke is particularly ap-
pealing to the jokers because of che
former connection Of the victim.
As matter Of fact the liquor was
found in filling station four blocks
from Summit avenue and on Frede-
ricksburg road. The Summit avenue
proprietor is absolved by the police
from connection with the case, not
withstanding the man arrested gave
Summit avenue address. He was
released OH his own recoghizance to
report to Dry Agent Charles Stevens.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW

The New Year comes. The Old Year
goes
AS down the pathway of the years,
Bent meath his pack of joys and woes,
Of Junetide smiles and April tears;
Across the fields with snowdrift white,
The Old Year passes on tonight.
A twelve month past we welcomed him
"A New Year he, one year ago,
But now his eye is weak and dim.
He totters on with footsteps slow;
His voice, complaining on the breeze,
Comes in the grooming of the trees.
We watched him grow. The winter
time
Ebbed into spring, and summer then
We saw him pulse with virile pride
When autumn fields were ripe again,
And now we view him at the last,
Nipped by DEFENDERS chilling blast.
Well, let him go. His race is run,
He was a goodly year indeed
So let us toast him, everyone.
And bid the wanderer "God-speed!"
Old year, final health to you!
You're comTade, tried and true.
The Old Year goes. The New Year
stands
Before the door and waits us here.
Ho, bring him in with welcome hands.
The Year is dead! Long live the
Year!

Soon the light vanished and he lay
down, his pipe between his teeth, close
to the caves entrance. Weary though
he was, he could not sleep forthwith.
His mind was occupied with the signs
on the canister head
"32 divided by 1; an * and dot"
he repeated several times. What do
they signify?"
Suddenly he sat up, with every sense
alert, and grabbed his revolver. Some
thing impelled him to look towards
the spot, few feet away, where the
skeleton was hidden. It was the
rustling of a bird among the trees
that had caught his ear.
He thought of the white framework
of a once powerful man, lying there
among the bushes, abandoned, forgot
ten, horrifc Then he smothered cry
of surprise.
"By Jave!" he muttered. There is
no * and dot. That sign is meant
for a skull and cross-bones. 1t lies
exactly on the part of the island
where we saw that queer-looking bald
patch today. First thing tomorrow be-
fore the girl awakes, must examine
that place"
He resolutely stretched himself on
his share of the spread-out coats, now
thoroughly dried by sun and fire. In
a minute he was sound asleep.
