LADIES' CHOICE.
The fateful year baa now arrived
when woman may take the initiative
in love. It is a privilege won, so tra

with fit. Patrick for the girls of her
charg, Patrick thought one year In
sevetj jpiough for women to have the
choosing. Hut he covld not withstand
r cajoleries.
" 'Biddy, acushla, squeeze me that
way again, and I'll give you leap year,
the longest of the lot" were his words,
as the story books say.
And, so from St Bridget down, the
women have been able to look out for
themselves. Their traditionally pas
sive attitude on the marriage question
Is likely to be as misleading as that
of the spider about the time the fly
enters the wide-spread web.
These however be secrets of dark
parlors and cloistral park benches,
concerning which we know not. But
ut the Leap-year dances, now in vogue,
we nre glad to nolo that woman comes

the most of her privilege.

Although the ball room Is supposed
to display the culmination of the finer
graces of etlquet, yVt beneath the ve

mankind shows up as a pretty selfish
beast. Ho rarely looks about him to
see which of his friends Is begging

ft is often asked why married peo
ple drop out so quickly from the danc
ing crowd. One reason Is that many
dignified girls find the necessary cam
paign of coquetterles, aliasing them
selves to win Inflations from men they
lon't enro for, to b too much of a
bore. As heavy penalties are visited
on women for the sin of being "fair

The court held that a public service
corporation in this state was entitled
to earn on the value of Its property in
the state devoted to state business a
reasonable revenue and found that the
value of its property in the state de
voted to state business was ascertain
ed thus:
Ascertaining Property Value.
"It is by dividing the capital of the
carrier invested in 'the business in pro
portion to the earnings of each that
the amount of capital Invested in intra
state business is found, and upon which

They crossed the great Alleghanies
without roads; surveying routes with
their eyes; overcoming every obstacle
with pure nerve and obdurate will
power. Once they were over, they
found themselves among hills of gi
gantic forests, valleys of surpassing
fertility; c'.irystal springs and spark
ling rivers. These virgin lands abound
ed with the choicest of game, and the
streams of water were alive with fish
and water fowl. They were beyond
the reach of civilization. No courts of
Justice held Jurisdiction over them. No
church or creed was there to dictate

the not profits derived from the intra
state business, further reduced by the
application of the order, fails to yield
a reasonable return upon the invest
ment and the order is unreasonable
and unjust sind will be reversed."
The court sustained that portion of
the commission's order requiring the
delivery of messages within a two-mile
zone, from the receiving ofllce, provided
the place of delivery was inside 1 1 1
city limits.

The requirement that no mail ofllce
of a telegraph company could be dis
continued without permission of the
corporation commission wns modified
to require that the company glye the
commission twenty dnys' notice of In
tention to discontinue such ofllce to
the end, the court says, of subserving
all Interests. The remainder of the
order was affirmed with the exception
of that requiring one company to for

company for an additional charge of
10 cents added to the one-line rate,
which was reversed. One of the rules
affirmed Is that requiring the filing and
receiving time to lie shown on the message.

fruits of their labor.
Yet they subdued the forests, opened
farms, became a law unto themselves,
built themselves homes, erected places
of worship and courts of Justice and
became a people so distinct that even
to this day they are a class unique.
They were the freest of the free. Their
Interests were identical. They work
ed as communities, log-rollings, corn
shucking, quiltings and muster days
were the events of their lives. There
were few preachers and no doctors,
politicians were unknown. Peace, har
mony, good will and health was liie ex
pected. A stranger was a wonder and
welcomed as an angel of old.
Their sons and daughters etubibed
these sturdy qualities and the -would-be
dictator among those hills even to this
day has a thorny road to travel.
For more than a century they were
surrounded by these physical barriers
Hude implements manufactured by
their own hands was all they had with
which to fell the forests, to build their
farm improvements, to erect mills for
grinding grain, or sawing lumber. Wa
gons at first were unknown; rude sleds
and lizards were their vehicles for
hauling,
They carried their grain to the mill
on their shoulders, and later as they
became wealthier on horseback. A
home-made rifle was one of their
greatest earthly treasurers and was
their daily companion, With it they
secured , their meats, protected their
homes and held the beasts of prey in
abbeyance. Their customs were sim
ple. Their dress was conrse. The men
farmed after their manner and hunted
in winter. The women spun wool and
cotton thread and knit and wove
cloth. The men were chivilrotis and
the women chaste. There were no idle
rich, nor fakirs, and the annals of his
tory has failed to show any gre.it crim
inals among their descendants. How
ever they have given to the world the
names of men of every honest calling
(that will brighten the pages of history
ur centuries to come.
For instance who Is not familiar
with such names as the I-ees. Shields,
Brownlows, Johnsons, Seviers and a

He also courts competition in a JegHi-
maie way. l he . only reason people
send off to mail order houses for
goods is because they think they get
better goods for less money. Convince
them they are mistaken and you sound
the death knell of the mail order bus
iness. The city merchant can afford to take
less for his goods and give more for
the farmers produce than the country
merchant for his consumer is at his
very door and they are as good as sold.
The buying public demands a close
competition for what he buys and sei:s.
The laborer wants fair wages and
when they get that they should be sat

farmers' interests are identically the

the producer and the consumer Is what

A foreign tour on
American soil !
Even Continental Europe cannot show yoa
more interesting ruins and relics of mediaeval
times than are here. These splendid old
Spanish missions, located within eight miles
of the city, offer an incentive for the most
delightful rides and drives-if any incentive
were needed other thn tha fine roads, the
beautiful scenery and tho perfect weather.
Come to San Antonio this winter and natch your
tkill against some of the golf enthusiasts that make
this city their winter rendezvous. Join in an
exhilarating pclo game hunt, fioh and follow the
hounds "get into" the dances, balls, banquets and
theatre parties. Forget the hard work and the
harder weather cf the north and give yourself up
for a while to this placo of cummer pleasures.
The best way to go
is by the Katy
the only line with Its own rails from St. Louit
of Kansas City to San Antonio; no delays no
missed connections for it is "Katy all the
way". It is but a short trip of delightful
comfort from either point.
