A young woman poked fun at
the editor of a Blnffton, Indiana,
paper because his trousers wert
patched. It so happened that her
" father owed $10 on subscription.
f Jie editor sent the deliquent's ac

editor now wears new trousers.
Kitchener issued a proclamation
some time ago to the effect that all

of Kitchener's proclamation.
A fitting tribute to the memory
of the late Gov. Guadalupe Maine
ro of Tamaulipas, is a pamphlet
published in Matamoros, compris
ing the addresses delivered at the
memorial meeting held in that
city to honor the memory of the
deceased governor. It is very neat
ly executed and does credit to the
publishing house of "El Iris del
Hogar" who did the work.
In the October number of Prank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, appears
an interesting article on "The Tex
as Rangers : the Most Efficient Po
lice Force in the World," which is
very Jnteiesting and gives a very
good description of the brave ran
ger boys, who are so well known
and so highly valued in this sec
tion. A number of fine illustrations
accompany the article.
The Corpus Christi Crouy and
Floresville Chronicle size up Mr.
Sparrow, the railroad promoter, as
g small and unimportant species of
bird, though, for the sake of the
great project which he claims to
be engineering, The Herald hopes
thpv aro mistaken. In order to
give both sides a showing, their
estimate is given:
The Floresville Chronicle is.
right in line with The Crony in its
stiniation of the value of the re
cent railway proposition. It says:
"The Corpns Christi correspond
ent of the Daily Express has
cheek. He sent a letter to the Ex
press from J. J. Sparrow written
from Wiudsor, Ont., in regard to
building a railroad from Corpus
Christi to Brownsville, lhe Ex

Sparrow as a prominent capitalist.

Judge Welch, in his order made
in open court yesterday, changing
the venue of certain cases fron:
Cameron comity to Nueces county,
nmkes some ver' serious charges
as to conditions in this county,
which our law-abiding citizens
should read and -ponder, the
judge's order being published else
where in this evening's Herald.
It has been remarked during the
present term of district court that
as fast as the grand jnry would in
dict cattle thieves and the Utter
were brought to trial, they have
been turned loose. It would seem
tfrnt there surely must have been
evidence of gnilt against, the -parties
indicted, or else the justices of
the peace, in the first instance, and
the grand jury, in the second in
stance, would not have found any
cansb against them. It is also noto
rious that cattle-stealins: has been
going on in this connty for a long
time, and no owner of cattle feel
that his property is safe. That an
organized band of cattle thieves
exists, there i every reason to be
lievp, and that these bandits who
prey npon honest people's property
are .growing bolder and bolder, so
that witnesses against them are ter
rorized, is a matter of common re
poit. A young boy not over fourteen
years old was found dead, hanging
by the neck to a tree by the road
in this county some months ago. I
was reported that the little fellow
had committed suicide, but it was
also believed, though it could not
be proven, that he was hung by
cattle tlueves to quiet his tongue
Thus it may be human life is in
jeopardy on account of these bold
marauders. This is a matter for
serious consideration by every citi
zen of our connty. The grand jury
has urged that a company of ran-
crer. be stationed in this county to
assist in suppressing lawlessness,
as the county is too extensive and
thinlv settled for one sheriff and a
few deputies to properly guard,
though they do faithfully what they
can. It is to be hoped that their
suggestion may be complied with.
It is proposed by F. H. Crain
and F. S. Coffin of Cnero to make
a portfolio of all TeA'as
oaDers containing reference to
IT ft
the assasination and burial
of President McKinley, and send
then to Mrs. McKinley, that she
may realize the sorrow so univer
sally felt in Texas for the tragic
death of the President. These gen
tlemen heve requested all Texas
naners to send them copies of
numbers containing such referen
ces.

GREEN BADGES OF COURAGE.
Sashes Worn by Army Surgeons and Their
History.
A great many people do not know
why army fiurgeons wear green Bashes.
It iB not so much as insignia of rank afl
it is a protection to the wearer. .Accord
mg to the code or war, stirgeona are
never shot cr taken prisoners. To delib
erately shoot a surgeon while he iB
wearing bis sash iB considered a viola
tion ot the code, punishable by death
Because of ibis provision surgeons of
one army never refuse to look after the
wounded of the-other army if it is possi
ble for them to do so. During the civil
war it was often the case that after a
battle the field &uspitnls would contain
almost an equal number of men dressed
in blue and gray. The federal army
had the best surgeons and tho best
stores, and a wounded Confederate con
sidered himself in great luck if he was
removed to a Federal hospital to ba
oared for by Federal surgeons and phy
sicians.
But in the heat of battle a green sash
is not much protection, and' surgeons
were often wounded or killed. But this
did not keep tho surgeons at the rear
until the battlo was over. Thoy were
often found in the thick of the fray,
dressing wounds and sending tho wound
ed to tho rear. Theirs was a perilous as
well as a noble duty, and they perform

THE SCALING LADDER.
now It Is Used at Fires IB Very Higrh
Bnildlnffs.
The most promising pupils among
those admitted to the school of instruc
tion at the New York fire headquarters
are said to be those who have served
an apprenticeship in professions that
have called ihem aloft. Sailors, paint
ers, roofers and steeple climbers have
tho advantage of their pireliminary
training. The first thing that a neo
phyte is called upon to learn is how to
handle the scaling ladder.
This bit of apparatus Is a long, well
seasoned tongue of timber with short
crosspieces passing through it It ter
minates at the top with a long hook,
which has three or four ratchetlike
projections on its undersurfece and
weighs from 20 to 45 pounds. There is
a special knack in handling it dexter
ously,- and many a time a man who is
slight and small of stature can manage
a ladder which a Goliath would find
difficulty in handling.
"There is no piece of apparatus in
the fire department," says one who has
made a study of its methods, "which,
skillfully handled, can be made to serve
more purposes than this scaling ladder.
The longest extension ladder in the de
partment measures 00 feet, but the man
with the scaling ladder can go up 14
oris stories without becoming exhaust
ed. At fires before an extension ladder
can bo put in position one fireman can
push a scaling ladder into a second
story window, scramble up and go from
story to story to tho veryroof. He ia
followed by a second fireman, who takes
his Indder with him story by story, and
this fireman by a third, until by the
time the first man has reaehed the top
there is a completed chain behind him,
down which tho rescued may he carried
and the fireman himself escape." New
York Tribune.
SLITHERS' RETORT.
Bis Sarcastic Reply to the Private
Boarding House Iandlad j
Mr. Smithers is a somewhat fastidious
young man who is looking for a new
boarding place. Smithers can't abide
the regulation boarding house, and al
ways tries to live with a private fam
ily. He is now convinced thatan "ad."
which solicits boarders for a "nice prir
vate family' ' is often a snare for a stuffy
double fiat, inhabited by one small fam
ily and 24 boarders.
Smithers called one day last week at
a place with a glowing description just
on the flank of Michigan avenue's aris
tocracy. "Hum! Suspiciously like a boarding
bouse," thought Smithers as be took in
the dimensions. A collarless negro serv
ant whe opened the door confirmed his
suspicions, but he had gone too far
then to back out A sharp nosed, snippy
landlady came in with a top lofty air.
"Er ah, I believe I am mistaken,'
he began. "I supposed I should find a
private family. By the advertisement
hu-m"
The laughter and the familiar board
ing house hum of 14 clerks and ten
lady stenographers came up from the
dining room in the basement The mis
tress of the conglomerate "private fam
ily" drew herself up proudly. "You
are entirely mistaken, sir," she assert
ed in a grasping, -7 a week voice.
"This is not a boarding house, although
we have a few friends living with us."
Smithers sniffed the air. There was
distinct odor of prunes and corned
beef.
"Well, I must say," he remarked as
he turned up his coat collar and fled
down the steps, "that it smells like a
boarding house, madam." Chicago
