Gracios a Dios, there w*g a drop

106 in the shade to 80 degrees. The

The soldier* leave today for Dallas

Sam Houston is rapidly becoming a

to the United States. Who says a
standing army is unnecessary? It
adds to the prestige and respect of
the U. S. among other nations of
the world; besides bestowing the
"noli me taogere" impression so nec-
essary to its aspect, a* regards other
aggressive and belligerent powers.
Have visited the brilliant electric

APPRAISERS REPORT
Of Estate of Wm. Cooper, Late As-

Filed—Col. Duncan Cooper, Found
Guilty of Killing Senator Car-
mack Inherits $11,600.
"Hello!" 1 wa* greatly surprised to
learn that Mr. Duehler, the candy
man, had donated all of this lovely
park to the public, and gets not even
the credit of having it named for
him, while other*, as Madison, Mav
crick, Breckenridge and others pos-
sess that distinction. Of course. San
Pedro is beautiful, but why not San
Pedro Springs in Duehler Park?
may appear as though I was trying
to advertise San Antonio Well, wltat
if I do—i thought ail Texans loved
(and liked to hear about) old his-
toric San Antonio, sister to Annahuac
and old Navisou.
I regret, in last Thursday's issue
to find the discount of the Orange
airship to mere Mars as i was just
going to tell you about seeing
gyrating over San Antonio la*t week
traveling northwest. So 1 suppose
now. it was only a balloon—! should
hate to think the. Martials* had any
notion of landing here, as it i* claim
ed they are a race of giants. Let ’em
go to F.l Paw and join the “big four"
who are to form the body guard of
President T*ft in that city, October
18th They range from six feet
three, to Parsons, who is six feet
five, and who guarded President
Roosevelt when he visited Sherman
in 1905, and enjoy* the distinction of
having felt the Rooscvcltian hand
shake, and ha# been flooded with the
glory of his dentifririal smile.
The smallest thing I've *een in
clothes are some flea* aj A. Meert’s
on Commerce street; a gay trouba
dor and a bride and groom—I sup
pose the latter will find no trouble
in jumping the matrimonial bonds or
hopping the trail), board bttjs. etc
The latest sensation sounds rather
fishy, and the trunk whereby hang*
the tale smells fishy, too. Two week*
ago, a baggage smasher located a
very offensive odor, not |nlikc that
of a dead body, to be emanating from
It trunk, which had been shipped from
San Francisco, Cal. Scenting a trag-
edy, the police were notified, deter-
tives called in and the trunk opened,
with all due red tape, and away in
Hfi «nid*t Of fine silk* and delicate

preliminary step toward a solution of
the conservation and reclamation

George Karnes Kars tow of Texas,

this in the course of an interview,

APT REPLY OF WOMAN
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 24—Grace
Croonquist, comely and vivacious,
who drew No. 354 in Uncle Sam’s big^
land lottery at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, ’
where 3,000 names were drawn from
among the 100,000 registered fqr
lands in the Coeur d’Alene reserva-
tion, made a witty reply when asked
Judge James W. Witten, super-
intendent in charge of the drawing,
what she would do on a homestead
without a husband to run it. She said:
With a dog that growls, a cat that
delights in staying out at night and a
parrot that ’cusses’ like a veteran
sailor or a seasoned mule-whacker,
do not believe I will have occasion
mi*s a husband. 1 believe I have -
the necessary adjuncts to farm
life. I have paddled Itay own canoe
for several year* and I think I am
qualified to pilot a plow over the
hills. However, if the right man
comes along I may be induced to
share my claim, which timber cruis-
ers say is worth $10,000, with him.
Understand. I said ’the right man.’"
