LATED AT WACO.

isl to*The Daily Light.
Waco Tex. April 23.—1 t is claimed
by local *|k>rtsmen that the bird law re-
cently enacted with the emergency
clause is being violated here but the be-
lief is that the persons who are doing
this are not aware of the fact that they
are infracting any law. One of the best
known sportsmen states that some per-
sons arc killing large numbers while
under the law one gun is only allowed
twenty-five per days. As soon as the
information regarding the passage of the
law becomes generally disseminated it i»
thought that the measuiip will be re-
garded.
Stuart’s Plans Changed.
A complete change of plan for Rev.
George Stuart was made necessary nt
the last moment owing to the fact that
hard work and Overstrain in the meeting
just closed broke him down nervously. It
had been his intention to go to Hunts-
ville Tex. and hold a meeting in fact
the arrangements had all been made but
he was compelled to cancel this date and
go direct home for needed rest w hich he
did. When he left the taliernacle there
were hundreds of jieople in tears.
Meeting of Texas Veterans.
Among the interesting personages
present at the meeting of Texas veterans
was J. J. Boyd of Shackelford county.
He is still hearty looking but has been
through the Mexican war the civil war
and a war with the Comanches and an-
other war with the Apaches making four
in all He is fond of recounting the hap-
penings of the days of long ago. A. H.
Bostick of Mills county also present
is the son of Colonel Sion R. Bostick
who was one of the three men who cap-
tured Santa Ana and turned him over
after the battle of San Jacinto. Descend-
ants of Colonel Bostick have the affidavit
of General Sam Houston to that effect
and the document is highly prized. The
other two men engaged in the capture
were Joel Sylvester and Mr. Robertson.
Mr. A. H. Bostick says he has heard his
father tell of the matter many times
and that he always said that if the cap-
tor* had known who their prisoner was
he would likely have been killed.
New Hospital.
Within a week work will commence on
the excavations for the $65000 hospital
to be erected by the Sisters of Dallas.
The blue print outlines of the excava-
tions plan have arrived and will be used
in this way immediately. A name has
been chosen for the institution and it
will be called the “Providence Sani-
tarium.” Xt will be pushed to completion
as rapidly as possible.
Texas Pioneers’ Meeting.
The meeting of the Association of Na-
tives and Pioneers of Texas was really
the one which resulted in the perfection
of a permanent organization such an or-
ganization not having been had before
according to the announcement of Presi-
dent Thomas L. Stanfield. Interesting
letters were read from persons well
known in Texas history some of them
dating back as far as 1831. It was de-
cided that the secretary should select one
person in each county where the organi-
zation now exists to communicate with
the pioneers and secure new members
where parties were eligible. Secretary
C. A. Hotchkiss of Dallas will appoint
this committee later. The following per-
manent officers were chosen for the year:
President Thomas L. Stanfield. Terrell
Tex.; first vice president John W. Stev-
ens Hillsboro; second vice president
Sam J. Wright. Paris; third vice presi-
dent. Ben McCullough Austin: secretary
and treasurer C. A. Hotchkiss. Dallas.
Those are the officers of the temporary
organization. In the afternoon Fort
Worth was selected as the next meeting
place anil a social meeting will take
place April 20. All liying Texas veterans
were elected to honorary membership in
the association and Hon. John H. Reagan
was also paid the same compliment. The
Texas veterans had -no business session
yesterday and both organizations have
now left the city.
Boating Club Officers.
The annual meeting of the directors of
the Waco Boating and Fishing Club has
been held and officers elected for another
year. This is one of the pioneer organi-
zations of this character. The officers
chosen were: M. C. H. Park president:
R. T. Dennis vice president; L. W. Bag-

SAN ANTONIO DAILY LICHT. SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. FRIDAY APRIL a 4
FREAKS OF THE WEATHER
FOGS WINOS AND STORMS OF VA-
RIED PECULIARITIES.
The ‘'Williwau'' That Spend* Itself
Vpnn Tierra del Fargo—The “Fohn”
Wind or Switzerland and the Fe-
roeloua -rurKa” of Siberia.
In mountainous countries such as
SedUand. a fog usually forms at the
top of a hill nud works downward.
The Cold mountain top cooling a yarm
'current of wet air renders it* moisture
visible and tills cold fog being of low-
er tenqieruture than the air below nnd
therefore heavier drops gradually to
the valley. Colorado however can
show an exception to this general rule.
There in winter the frost on the low
ground is so intense that a fog often
forms in the valleys and work* slowly
up the mountain side. This is known
by the Indian name of “pogonip."
Peru has hundreds of square miles
along its coast of rainless country. In
this tract rain is never known to full
from one century's end to another. Yet
the region is not entirely barren of veg-
etation. Some parts of it. Indeed are
comparatively fertile. This is due to
the extraordinary fogs known as "ga-
runs.” They prevail every night from
May to October after a summer that is
sultry nnd extend up to a level of 1200
feet above the sea. Above 1200 feet
rain falls. o
The "callna” of Spain is a fog we
may be grateful that we do not have.
It is a dry yellow mist which some-
times hides the sun for days at a time
over vast tracts of country and makes
the sky look as though covered with
leaden gauze.
Another peculiar freak of weather
we must lie thankful to escape is the
“williwau.” This form of storm is
confined to/tbat faroff island Tierra del
Fuego. The coast is Indented with
deep fiords crowned with high moun-
tains. Down from their gorges drops
the “williwau* A low hoarse mutter-
ing is heard in U)e distance. Sudden-
ly without the least preliminary puff
a fearful blast of wind drops upon the
sea. The water is not raised into
waves but driven into fine dust. For-
tunately the shock lasts but ten or
twelve seconds' and calm follows at
once for no vessel could stand such a
wind for even half a minute. During
the coming and going of a “williwau”
the barometer may be watched to drop
a tenth of au inch or more and rise
again at once.
Similar in name if not in nature is
the “willy willy” with which Kalgoor-
He gold diggers are acquainted to their
cost. “Dust devils." some people call
them. Half a dozen may be seen danc-
ing harmlessly along over the desert
when suddenly one will dive into the
city and fill all the shop windows in
Hannan street with dust and spud
blinding every passerby. The “willy
willy” is a thief of the worst kind. It
will steal the washing from a line or
the roof from a shed. In some parts of
the country wire ropes are anchored
over the roofs of huts to save them
from the attacks of these odd little
whirlwinds.
Most people have heard of the “fobn”
wind of Switzerland that warm dry
gale which comes over the mountains
and in spring will melt two feet of
snow in a day. Its cause is most pe-
culiar. The "fohn” comes from the
south. As it strikes the Alps It is wet
like most gales which have crossed the
sea but the south face of the moun-
tains receives its rain and as it crosses
the summits it is dry. The moving air
current is also compressed and there-
fore dynamically heated. As it falls
into the northern valleys in a cataract
of air it gains heat at the rate of half
a degree for every 100 feet of descent
it usually blows for two or three days
causing great suffering by its dry heat
and oppression. While it lasts the tem-
perature is about thirty degrees above
the average. The “chinook” of Brit-
ish Columbia and the western side of
the United States is very similar to the
“fohn.”
England has adopted the American
word “blizzard” for a gale with snow.
But the blizzard however must yield
to the. ferocious “buran” of the central
steppes of Asia and the “purga" of
northern Siberia. To be caught in gales
such as these means death in a very
few minutes however warmly clad for
the very’ air becomes unbreat liable so
filled is it with spikes of ice drift.
"Khamsin” is the hot wind from the
desert which blows out of the Sahara
upon Egypt. The word means fifty
from the idea that it lasts for fifty
days. The “khamsin” is terribly hot
and dry and sometimes brings pesti-
lence with it.
Red snow we have all heard of. It
is caused by a microscopic Infusorial
growth and only occurs in snow that
has lain unmelted for a long time. In
Spitsbergen recently green snow has
been noted tinted by similar organisms.
“Gold dust” snow has often been
seen but only in spring. At one time
it was a mystery how the surface of
new fallen snow came to be strewn
with a shining yellow deposit. Now it
is known to be due to the pollen of
pine trees.—Pearson’s Weekly.
Chicken Pox nnd Smallpox.
The eruption of chicken pox has an
imperfect resemblance to that of small-
pox but can never be mistaken for it
by the experienced eye. In smallpox
the eruption of papules first appears
on the forehead the “papules” always
become “bladders” and the latter al-
ways develop into pustules—that is
sooner or later their contents get
changed into pus. Then the center of
the pustules undergoes a peculiar sink-
ing that in some measure resembles the
depressions in a cushion or padded
chair where the “buttons” are seen. In
chicken pox there is no such uniform-
ity of sequence aud the depressions are
absent

IN BORROWED PLUMAGE.
Well Dressed Women Who Wen*
Goods Sent on Approval.
When the ways of some women are
considered it is less remarkable that
such numbers of women dwelling in
the large cities dress extravagantly
than before their methods of securing
rich costumes for all occasions have
been scrutinized.
There are women and many of them
very wealthy who make a regular
practice of having elegant garments
sent to their homes on approval wear-
ing them once aud then returning them
to stores or costumer*. Some women
will wear a dress or a cloak to the
opera and send it back next morning.
Or they will get a hat or wrap and go
driving or visiting In it. The average
person would be astonished to know all
the things from handsome umbrellas
and fans of great beauty Jo jewelry
and clothes that some women bor
row from the shops.
Of course all of these women are not
well off but they all dress well and
go out a great deal and although the
shopkeepers often discover the manuei
in which they are being deceived they
do not always like.to make a fuss for
fear of losing a good customer. Besides
they know that if they Incur the enml
ty of such Impostors the women are
quite capable of abusing their goods
and robbing them of other and more
honest customers. Strange as it may
seem these women generally mingle iu
pretty good society or the fringes of it.
and have some influence in the matter
of dress since they have won the repu
tatlon of aiwa)s dressing elegantly aud
in the newest things.
This sort of imposition had been car-
Fieri on so often by a customer of a cer-
tain large firm that its members deter
mined to put a stop to her flaunting
about in borrowed plumage at least
when the plumage belonged to them.
One Saturday this woman had a splen-
did wrap sent home on approval and
on Sunday one of the bead clerks of
the firm who knew Mrs. Blank as the
offender stationed himself near her
pew in the fashionable church which
she attended. When she sailed down
the aisle after service resplendent in
the borrowed cloak this man stepped
up to her aud said:
“How do you do. Mrs. Blank? 1 am
delighted to see that you like our cloak
well enough to keep it.”
Of course after that she could not re-
turn the cloak.
Still with all the efforts put forward
by shops and costumers to break up
the pernicious habit of forcible borrow-
ing on the pari of sundry feminine cus-
tomers the practice goes merrily on
and many a fair dame with an envi-
able reputation for exquisite dressing
appears but once in garments nnd lints
that when next seen are bedecking an-
other woman or hanging in the show-
room of Some smart shop.—Washington
Star.
How it Works.
There is a pointer in this from the
Austin Tribune that’s worth consider
ation:
“Each advertisement you run in the
newspaper Impresses the name of
your store or goods a little deeper
into the minds of th® people. So an
advertiser should not expect too much
from his advertising until it has thor-
oughly Instilled his name or goods
into the minds of the people. The
first month's advertising acta as an
introduction The second month
makes the bonds of friendship strong-
er between the advertiser and the
consumer until *he advertiser occu-
pies a place in the minds of the peo-
ple that competition can not injure.”
The experienced advertiser knows
this is true aud the sooner others
practically realize it the more.fortun-
ate will they be

COCK FIGHTING EVERY &UNOAV
Blowlns the Feather.
A game for young folks Is played
with a feather. The party is arranged
in several groups of seven or eight
each seated in a ring and as close to-
gether as possible. For each group is a
feather. This is tossed in the air In the
center of the ring. It is the business of
I the little players to keep the feather In
the air by blowing every time it comes
near. The effort is so ridiculous that
the children laugh. When they laugh
they cannot blow and the feather is
apt to settle in the lap of the merriest
child. In this case she has to retire
from the ring. It is of course her Inter-
est to make the other children laugh.
As the rings decrease they are consoli-
dated. and so the game continues until
only one person is left who of course
Is the winner. There are few games
so unpretentious and few that can give
as much fun to a lively lot of children. ।
He Couldn't Say Breakfast.
Mrs. Laura Richards one of Mrs.

reminiscences of her childhood tells
the following of her brother Harry:
When about four years old he had
the habit of summoning his father to
breakfast and not being able to say
the word would announce. "Brescott
Is ready!” This excited mirth among
the other children which he never
could stand. Accordingly one morning
be appeared at the door of the dressing
room and said solemnly “Papa your
food Is prepared!”
Why He Got Vp Early.
“I hope all you little boys” said the
teacher “commence the week right by
getting up early Monday morning.”
“Yes’m” replied little Johnny; "I al-
ways love to get up early Monday
mornin’.”
“And you feel all the better for It
don’t you Johnny?”
“Yes’m. That’s the mornin' we have
pancakes!”

Tne way ta Do It.
There I truth m me toitoolng trou. .
the Austin Statesman:
“There is only one way to stop pis-
tol toting. Let tome member of the
legislature introduce a bid making
th© carrying of a plstoi by any one
except a peacs officer an offense pun-
ishable by confinement in the county
jail for a period of not les. than three
nor more than twelve months. Make
the second offense twelve months on
the county road and disfranchisement.
Such a law will take the kinks out of
their hair and the guns out of their .
pockets. It will also immortalize the
man who presents the bill and the
legislature that passes it With such
a law the fair name of the state will
not be trailed in the dust by a set of
would-be desperadoes who back up
their cowardice with a pocket bat-
tery.”
The most flagrant violators of the
law are men of means and men who.
should know better. To them a One
is no punishment. Make them pay
in bodily suffering and they will quit
their foolishness.
A* He Found It.
The Corpus Christi Crony says:
“City election being over a sum-
ber of woulfj-be .politicians have beea
left at liberty to work their ways Into
reputable society. There is mors
than a joke in the following true
story: As one Corpus ChrLti candl
date for a salaried office handed in
his own ballot he said. 'There's one
more good vote for me.' A by Stand-
er remarked 'That's not right A de-
cent man would vote for the othec
fellow.' Very quickly came the re-
joinder ‘I don’t pretend to be a de-
cent man Im a politician.’ He won.”
Hell as Henderson has just been
through a campaign and been elected
aiderman he should know how It is.
