An Amuaing Situation.
City Alderman T. Crlsell was a
very much excited man for a couple
»f hours Saturday afternoon. Mr.
Crixell had left his horse and buggy
in from of his plaee of business, and
upon going out sometime iater.found
the rig gone. Mr Crixell summoned
Police Officer Vic. Fernand**, who
posted himself on the street on the
lookout for the rig. After about two
hours had elapsed Frank Alonzo, the
widely-known Victoria stock buyer,
drove up and tied the rig. Mr Fer
nandes. not knowing Mr. Alonzo.
•Hared him under arrest, when the
tec used explained that he had mere
ly borrowed the rig for the purpose
of calling upon Mr. Crixell * family.
But Officer Fernandez was skeptical,
hmI probably if Don Teofilo had not
come along at the time, the visiting
Victorian might have had to do a
whole lot more explaining In order
to avoid a stay In the Ryan hotel.
Th- owner came lij time to save the
situation, however, and makers
were cleared up to everyone’s satis
faction.

He*p the Good Work.
Robert Louis Stevenson said:
I f* »♦ -
“ft it my nice to think
The world Is fttff of meat and drink
And little children saying grace
In every Christian kind of place.”
And there are lots of little chil
dren who would not have any meat
and drink at dinner time If the Mo
thers-Teachers’ Association did not j
•*end fine hot soup to the school
house every school day. This, of
course, costs money, and the one
ent a bowl for which the soup is j
sold has to have more put with it
each day to make good nourishing
soup. The ladi*s have engaged a
fine concert company io give a fine
concert at Dittmann s Theatre. Feb.
t«. and every one who wishes that
no children go hungry should make
It a point to attend tb* concert and
Will T^y Different Motive Cower.
A well known citizen took a party 1
of New Yorkers d.»wn to tha Point In
his brand new outfit Saturday after
noon. It was the visitors’ fitwt
glimpse of the laguna Madre. and
they were delighted with the out-!
look, and saw more ducks than they j
had thought remained In United
Stmes waters The party had In
tended to return Saturday, but. ow
ing to the unruliness of the motive
power, they did not arrive at their
destination until after dark So they
spent the night at the Point and re
turned to Brownsville Sunday.reach
ing here early Sunday afternoon.
The visitors are congratulating
themsilvea that they are once more
here safe and sound, and have a
strong determination to only risk
their lives with horsepower that is
thoroughly trained, in the future.
The result of the steed not promptly
answering the close Judgment of the
driver's eye in the present instance
resulted in several near collisions,
and a bo the stranding of the party
In a mud puddle.
