A one-armed man entered a restau rant at noon and seated himself next to a little other-people‘s-business man. The latter at once noticed his neigh bor’s left sleeve hanging loose, and kept eyeing it in a how-did-it-happen sort of a wav. The one-armed man paid no atten tion to him, but kept on eating with his one hand. Finally the inquisitive out could stand it no longer. He changed his position a little, clear bis throat, and said: “I beg pardon, sir, but I see you have lost an arm.” The one-armed man picked up his sleeve with his right hand, and peered anxiously into it. ‘‘Bless my soul!” he exclaimed, look ing up with great surprise. “I do be lieve you’re right.”—Pittsburg Dis patch.

SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE ARTISTIC TREAT IN STORE FOR REAL MUSIC LOVERS San Antonio music lovers will be pleased to learn that Mrs. Yates Ghol son will present John Barnes Wells, tenor, and Alexander Russell, pianist, at Casino hall on March 16. These artists are favorites here, hav- I ing appeared last year, when their re : vital was accredited with being one of the most enjoyable musical events dur ing the season. The Passing Show said, among other things: “Both Mr. Wells and Mr. Russell are examples of what is most admirable and beautiful, and, therefore, legitimate. The ideals they are serving represent the best, and one hears in every note a declara tion of manly sincerity and high in tention.” The Houston Post says: ‘‘Last night at the Beach Auditorium was given the Chora! club’s final con cert of the season. The two outside artists, Messrs. Wells and Russell, showed themselves to be exponents of an unusually high order of true musi cianship.” PATRICK W. THOMPSON DIES NEAR EAGLE PASS Services Held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church This Morn ing—Interment Here. Patrick W. Thompson, 56 years old, a widely known ranchman of southwest Texas, was taken ill with au attack of heart trouble at his ranch, near Eagle Puss, last Saturday afternoon and died Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. He is survived by his widow and five children. The eldest son, Walter, is now in Brazil in the employ of a railroad as civil engineer. Another son. Kenneth, resides in this city. A daugh ter. Mary, is a student in the state uni versity at Austin. The other two chil dren are younger. He is also survived by S. F. Atchison, a brother-in-law, who resides in Mexico. When Mr. Thompson was taken ill Saturday telegrams were sent to his daughter Mary at Austin, and also his relative in Mexico. Both hastened to his bedside, but Mr. Thompson had ex pired several hours before their ar rival. The body of Mr. Thompson, ac cornpanied by his family and relatives, reached the city last night. The mem bers went to tlie Gunter hotel for the night. The body was taken to the Pearce Robinson chapel and remained there this morning until 11 o’clock, when it was taken to St. Mark’s Epis copal church, where services were held. The funeral was then held from there to Dignowity cemetery, where inter ment was made. Rev. J. Lindsey Pat ton conducted the services at the church anil grave. Die active pallbearers were Winches ter Kelso, William Negley, O. 8. New ell, S. M. Simmons, J. T. Woodhull and T. H. Zanderson. Mr. Thompson was a native of Scot land and came to Texas when a young man.

WILL IMPROVE SERVICE It Will Be Equipped With a Chemical Tank for Handling ; Incipient Blazes. Within the next few months Fire Chief Wright will respond to all alarms of fire in San Antonio in an automo bile. Mayor Callaghan aud Aiderman John Wickeland, chairman of the coun cil committee on fire and fire limits. have decided that the time has come when the horse and buggy as a means of transportation for the chief must give way to the more modern method. The city of San Antonio will invest in one of the most modern combination motor chemical and fire chief's wagon jsut as soon as arrangements may be completed. The growth of the city, the increase of fire alarms, which has al ready resulted in the death of three valuable horses because of being over worked. the fire chief being compelled to respond to every alarm, and the im provement that such an apparatus would bring about in efficiency in com batting the flames, it is claimed, justi fies the investment. Such a machine is no longer regarded as a luxury. Tn a city the size of San Antonio it is deemed a necessity. Prior to bringing about the deal. Fire Chief Wright will attend the test of motor driven fine vehicles, which will take place at Dallas next month. The type of motor chief's wagon that is desired for San Antonio will cost in the neighborhood of $5OOO. It is really a fire automobile, being capable of car rying an extra man in addition to the chief and is equipped with a 35-gallon chemical tank and a reel carrying 200 feet of chemical hose. It is biult strong in every part and is equipped with suf ficient horsepower to enable it to make great speed in all kinds of weather and over all kinds of roads, as demonstrated in the north and east. This type of fire apparatus is being fast adopted in all the larger cities of the country. ‘‘l am glad to hear that the city in tends to buy a combination motor chem ical and chief’s wagon,” said Fire Chief Wright today. “Of late my horses have been simply run down. I have to respond to every alarm, while the other apparatus goes only to fires in their re spective districts, unless a second or third alarm calls them out. The result is that my horses seldom get enough rest. “The motor wagons can be used to the greatest advantage in fighting fires,” coninued the chief. “The speed enables the chief to reach a fire with greater dispatch and I have often reached a fire oven with a horse, which if I had had a vehicle equipped such as the new apparatus is, I could have checked the fire in its incipiency and prevented many thousands of dollars’ loss by fire. No time is lost in getting the new engine into operation. The hose is always connected to the tank and the nozzle always in place. All that is necessary is to grab the nozzle anil dump the tank, which is but a sec ond's work, and the one in charge has | the chemical at work.” MS. imiGHT FINED SI GHOR MOLASSES CURE Pleads Guilty to Pouring Boil ing Fluid Down Throat of Freddie Newman. KELLY CHARGE CONTINUED Seth Kelly and Mrs. Eda Kelly Face Trial on Charges of Whipping Small Lad. Mrs. C. T. MeKnight, charged with having poured boiling molasses down the throat of Freddie Newman on Jan. 29, yesterday afternoon pleaded guilty । after the case had been half heard be- i fore a jury, and was fined $lOO and! costs by County Judge Phil Shook. When court reconvened for the after-1 noon session, 8. 8. Searcy, counsel for, Mrs. MeKnight, withdrew the plea of not guilty and entered one of guilty. Judge Shook withdrew the case from the jury and fined the woman. Counting the costs of the court, the molasses cure, will cause Mrs. MeKnight to pay be tween $l3O and $145 into court. From the indications yesterday morn ing. when the ease was opened, il ap peared that Attorney Searcy would de fend his client to the last ditch. The import of testimony brought out, how ever, all tended to show Mrs. Me- Knight had administered the hot mo lasses, although the intent to sear and burn the youngster was not shown nor claimed by the state. It was only to punish him, as adduced. The complexion i of affairs was changed by the plea of | guilty and the services of a jury were ; no longer needed. The court placed : ihe fine. Kelly Case Continued. The cases of Seth Kelly and Mrs. Eda Kelly, also charged with cruelty to J. Y. Pcaree. a boy not over eight years old. were continued this mdrn ing until the next term of court. The prosecuting witness, L. W. Pcaree, fath er of the boy, had the youngster in court when the ease went over. According to the elder Pearce, a con tagious sickness broke out in his house hold and he placed his son with the Kellys. Subsequently the child was found to be welted al) over, dark blue marks appearing as if a heavy stick had been used to beat him. His back aud logs showed these marks plainly. Assistant Count'?

Both were discussing what they should wear. In the midst of this important conversation a masculine voice interrupted, asking humbly for a number. One of the girls became in dignant and scornfully asked: “What line do you think you are on. anyhow?” “Well,” said the man, “I am not sure, but judging from what I have heard. I should say I was on a clothes line. ” —San Francisco Call. Yonr hardest competitor is not the man who undersells you. Nor is he. the man who underbuys you. But ho may do both of these.
