THE MICROBE OF LOVE
AT SAN BENITO.
Very Amusing; Play Given 'With
Great Success by a Cast of Local
Amateurs.
To The Herald.
San Benito, Tex., March 24—The
play given under the auspices of the
Civic League Thursday evening at
the Valentine theatre, was well at
tended, and declared a success from
both a financial and a critic’s stand
point. The performance given was
the "Microbe of Love,” and those
taking part deserve especial menTion
for the way in which their respec
tive parts were handled. The open
ing scene represents a meeting of
a Spinisters’ Club, those present hav
ing come -together to devise ways
and means to secure a husband, and
to be enabled to hold him after he
had been secured. The methods
4
suggested were indeed luducrous,
but in spite of this, those present
were determined that they should
secure a husband in spite of the—
weather. It was also announced
that Sears Roebuck & Co., and other
like firms were giving away hus
bands, with the purchase of certain
household articles, such as wash
tubs, etc. Madame Hymen Cupid
was at this point introduced, who
assured the patient ladies that she
had a remedy that never failed,
called the "Microbe of Love” that all
that was required of a lady in need
of a spouse was to be near when
she injected the microbe into the
unsuspecting victim. The meeting
of course voted unanimously to ac
cept Madame Cupid’s offer, she hav
ing given the names of a number of
delighted San Benito people, who
had given testimonials to her never
failing remedy, such as husbands
who had loved after ten' years of
married life, as they had never loved
before, and despairing mothers who
never entertained hopes of securing
husbands for their daughters, who
had been fully satisfied as to its un
failing qualities. The ladies in this
scene were, Misses King, Louise
Word, Kate Purvis, Williams, Helen
Spears, Swensen, Duckett, Ethel
Johnson, and Miss Marthana Cow
gill who took the part of Madame
Hymen Cupid.
Scene number two is a Bachelor
Club meeting, all of those present
intent on not being buncoed into
any marriage game, and preparing
a petition flor preparation (to the
local city authorities, asking that
young and unsuspecting bachelors
be protected on the streets of our
city, from the dangers of rude spins
ters, who had no regard for a gen
tleman’s r^hts.
Mr. Henpeck was introduced at
this meeting ajid delivered an ora
tion congratulating those present on
the movement which would event
ually end man’s freedom from
woman’s awful rule. Mrs. Henpeck.
armed with a dangerous looking base
ball bat, arrived on the scene, mak
ing Mr. Henpeck disappear in' a
rather “pronto” manner.
Scene number three shows
Madame Hymen Cupid at work, with
her dangerous hypo, fully charged
with the microbes (about the size
of a spray pump used for spraying
treees.» Needless to say the experi
ment was a marked success. The
acting throughout was exceedingly
good and the audience was kept in
an uproar by the use of the names
of local persons whose names were
substituted for those taking part in
the play. In addidtion to those al
ready mentioned, the others taking
part were, Messrs. J. J. Calloway,
Todd, Shirar, Jesse Burress, Scott
Brown and last but not least Mr.
William Morrison.

any cheaper if it became an inde
pendent district, assuming that the
ditch proposed by the district was
put in, and that leaving the pro
posed ditch out of consideration, he
did not think that the cost wrould
be materially increased by hitching
up with the district now pending.
Col. Heywood said that he differed
with Judge Spears upon the latter's
admission yesterday that the Rio
Hondo strip did not need drainage.
Neil Mc Donald of Rio Hondo said
that he had had many years exper
ience as a constructing engineer for

of the entire San Benito district.
After hearing the arguments ol
counsel on both sides, the court
ruled that drainage was necessary
for the entire district, that the pe
tition be accepted, and the engineer’s
report be brought before the body
in order that an election for a bond
issue may be ordered.
