A SAD MEMORY.
“I'd like a cup of coffee" said the
stranger to the man
Whose restaurant was ruq upon the
“old home-cooking" plan
“The same sir” said the other who
could broil and brew and bake;
“You shall have a cup of coffee likjf
your mother used to make.”
The stranger’s eye grew moistened as
in memory once more -
He tasted of that coffee that he drank
In days of yore.
And to the restaurant keeper: "Well
if that’s tb£ case.” said he
“And it’s all the same to you I guess
I’ll have a cup of tea.”

A Lecture.
Rev. Thos. J. McCormick of St. Pe-
ter Claver's church delivered a very
entertaining lecture in St. Mary's Cath-
olic church last night on the work of
the Josephlte Fathers who have now
charge of all the colored Catholic mis
slons of this diocese.

WON’T SOMEBODY LOVE ME?
(Dedicated to the Old Lady the Express.)
Of all the unfortunates—l am the worst;
My heart’s full of anguish—it's ready to burst.
For just when I think I’ve a beau on my string
And have ’im sure faded away on the wing
He flits and be leaves me to tears and to rue;
Won't somebody love me? Please somebody do.
Now there was that handsome young Mr. De Witt
I thought that he loved me—he didn't a bit;
The present I longed for and hoped I would get
He gave to another—he did sir and yet
I thought 'im warm hearted devoted and true;
Won't somebody love me? Please somebody do.
And Sali— but no I’ll not mention his name.
The way he deceived me in truth was a shame;
The next was “his honor” down there at the hall
He goosed me and tricked me the worst of them all
For when I flew to 'im as radiant as May
He sternly repulsed me and coldly did say
“Avaunt from my presence there’s nothing for you”;
Won’t somebody love me? Please somebody do.
In the Sunday morning issue of the Daily Morning Bladder
the Old Lady recites more of her little tale of woe. She says the
county commissioners for several years gave the publishing of
the county tax list to the Weekly Dispatch without telling her
al) about it. *
Says that Judge Jonas and Salliway promised her some pie
and did not give it all to her. (She forgets to mention that the
commissioners gave her the largest tax list ever published in
Bexar county and paid her something like $2OOO for it). She is
only mad because they did not give her everything in sight.
She says she flirted with County Attorney Bart DeWitt and
that he promised her some pie but only jilted the Old Girl.
Poor Old Girl! She is still looking under the bed trying “to
catch on.”
SHADE TREES ON MARKET.
Some Are in Condition for Ready
Growth Others Are Worthless.
Forest trees for planting in yards
and along our streets are being
brought In from the country by farm-
ers and by small speculators who
sell them at quite a profit
Care should be observed by the buy-
ers of such trees aowever to look at
the roots and see if they have either
been “puddled” I. e. dipped in liquid
mud to give them a coating and ex-
clude the air. or otherwise wrapped tn
wet moss. Dry roots seldom pot forth
shoots after the transplanting and
th«e is money thrown away.
One professional gardener has
brought in carloads of various
kinds of shade trees from the Medina
and all his specimens have been prop-
erly treated.

FEBRUARY.
(By Sara Andrew Shafer.)
The laggerd sun. on frosty morn.
Throws long beams through the stub-
ble corn.
Against the sunset naked
Weave magic bredes and traceries.
From woodman’s ax the splinter
bounds;
The flicker’s cheery tapping sounds;
Ice thaws and in the quickening flood
Are vague fond hopes of leaf and bud.
When 10l like fleck of living sky—
Full-songed. a bluebird sweet flits

HER WAIL CONTINUES.
PaeSa at Aaeleata
An investigator who lived during two
years in a tomb at Gizeb collected evi-
dence to prove that the tools need in
working atone 4.000 years ago bad jew-
eled cutting edges like modern tools.
He says that the builders of the pyra-
mids used solid and tubular tools
straight and circular aaws and many
other tools supposed to be modern. In
some specimens of granite a drill had
sunk one-tenth of an Inch at each rev-
olution. indicating that the pressure
was at least two tons. Nothing is
known of the material of the tools. As
the diamond was scarce then it is
probable that corundum waa used.
The coatllest meal ever served ac-
cording to bistory was a supper given
by £lius Verus one of the most lavish
of all the Romans of the latter days to
a dozen guests. The cost was 6000 ses-
tertla which would amount to $242500.
A celebrated feast given by Vltellius a
Roman emperor of those days to his
brother Lucius cost a little more than
$200000. Suetonius says that tbe bou-
quet consisted of 2.000 different dishes
of fish and 7.000 different fowls besides
other courses.
No matter of what color beware of
tbe eyes that have no desire to look
you full in the face. There is some-
thing wrong behind the shifting un-
easy glance and the owner of such op-
tics will prove to be unworthy of trust.
Read well tbe signs for If actions
speak louder than words eyes speak
even louder than actions and to be
forewarned is to be forearmed.

COSTLY BLAZE IN HOUSTON
AN ENTIRE BLOCK DESTROYED
THIS MORNING.
Central Fire Station Dsmollahed and
There la No Lieurance —Telephone
Service Badly Crippled—Lose Es-
timated at Over $lOOOOO.
Houston Tex.. Feb. S.—A fire early
this morning deeUwed an entire
block of buildings. Including the Ceu-
tral fire station two livery stables
two business houses and about half a
dozen residence*. A number of horses
were burned to death as were the
other contents of the two stables and
most of the apparatus of tbe fire sta-
tion. Some of the residences accom-
modated roomers and there are some
people unaccounted for. Up to 5
o’clock this momtng no bodies had
been found. The monetary loss is es-
timated as about $150000.
One half of the entire block from
San Jacinto and Caroline streets
fronting on Prairie avenue has been
burned and a dozen houses in the vi-
cinity of the conflagration have been
more or less damaged Beyond ques-
tion it is the most severe lire that has
visited Houston since the destruction
of (be St. Joseph infirmary in 1894.
when the block bounded by Franklin
and Congress avenues and San Jacinto
and Caroline streets were laid In
ruins.
The Are originated in the second
floor of the buildings occupied by the
Johnson and Williams and West fall
livery barns. The Johnson barn
fronted on Prairie avenue and the
Westall and Williams bam fronted on
Caroline street connecting in the
rear. The blaze appeared io be in the
feed room and with a flash spread to
every part of the building. The cen-
tral station located at the corner of
San Jacinto and Prairie is now a mass
of ruins.
The high wind that prevailed finned
the blaze and for a time it appeared
that the heroic effort* of the firemen
would be in vain and that the block
bounded by Prairie and Texas avenues
and San Jacinto and Caroline streets
would follow the doomed brick struc-
tures where the flames started. At
one time no less than six frame
houses were on Are at one time.
When the Are was seen <0 be be-
yond control the first evidence of the
seriousness of the conflagration was
apparent. A stampede of frightened
horses rushed through the streets
liberated by the employes of the livery
barns. The heat waa intense. Half
dressed men and women and .scream-
in gchlldren driven from their homes.
Ailed the streets. Household goods
were piled indlscriniinUtely In the
streets.
The property loss is ns follows; J.
O. Boss buildings $25000; W. S.
Wall $15000; Jerome Cochran build-
ings. $4500; Houston Notion company
stock $3000; Mrs. Curston. building
$8000; F. H. Stewart stock $25000;
Frank Jones horses and vehicles.
$3500; Mrs. 8. A. Hannell residence.
$600; Mrs. S. A. Hannell furniture
$500; W. H. Wadfell residence $800;
J M. Turner contents. $600; lAm-
breth. contents. $1000; Southwestern
Telephone company. $10W; Williams
& Westfall contents. $6000; Red Men
lodge. $500; City of Houston $5000;
miscellaneous. $3OOO.
It was a scene of much confukiou
and excitement The fife spread with
the rapidity of lightning from end to
end of the block.
The burned portion consisted of two-
story brick structures with the ex-
ception of a two-story residence and
all were tenanted by livery barns or
carriage stocks.
A score of valuable horses were
burned and a vast amount of harness
and a large number of Ane equipages.
The city loss to Its Are alarm system
will aggregate $5OO without one cent
of insurance.
The telephone service will be crip-
pled for a time and the stringing of
wires will be work for days to come
as the great network at the central
Are station was cut early to admit of
a proper fighting of the Aames.
The work of the Aremen was com-
plimented on every hand. They bat-
tled against great odds and they suc-
ceeded in conAning the Are to half a
block with a slight scattering to
houses that were ingnited by the
Aerce beat that was swept upon them
in blistering Aerceness by the wind
that prevailed from the north.

The Pornography of Bloodahsd.
To The Light
• A Corpus Christi journal was re-
cently quoted In The Light as indulg-
ing in a criticism of the San Antonio
papers for publishing too’ great a
wealth of detaila regarding a recent
murder in this city. The coast city
editor is hypocritical. Nevertheless
we must insist that theie ts a por-
nography of bloodahed as well as of
eraticlam which the "pink” and "yel-
low" aensatlonal journals do nothing
to diminish. That The Light is not
to be Included in this category It is
needless to assert and everyone
knows that the esteemed "Old Lady.”
however salacloua she may become
In recounting her "wrunga” Is at
least free from the suspicion of wear-
ing any other color than green.
This question of the psychological
effect of tbe exploitation of bloody
sights gains added Interest from a
case now before the public. A Dela-
ware parson I* being tried before a
presbytery charged with having in-
cited a mob to graette the art of
pyrography upon the person of a ne-
gro. This he is said to have accom
plishing by exhibiting blood-stained
leaves upon tbe pulpit and preaching
an incendiary sermon in which he
favored lynching. The decision of the
presbytery we await with breathless
interest.
President Roosevelt has written
definite words upon this subject in
his letter to Governor Durbin of In-
diana. "Whoever has taken part in
lawlessly putting to deaths criminal
by the dreadful torture of fire” he
says "must forever after have the
awful spectacle scared into his brain
and soul.” All of which 1s very true
and we venture the assertion in pass-
ing that the word "lawtesaly" is su-
perflußus since tbe psychologic effect
would probably be tbe same even
though the ’’awful spectacle" bad the
sanction of so august a body as twelve
good men and true from Squankum
county.-
Further it is a fact that the effect
of witnessing such sights is different
only In degree from that produced by
the habitual perusal of sensational
papers in which coarse pictures and
Inflammatory descriptions of scenes
of bloodshed and murder abound. It
is such papers as these Illustrated
sheets filled to overflowing with un-
cleanness. with views of the executive
of every conceivable atrocity that sow
the seeds of crime in ill-balanced
minds. They are far worse than the
pornographic journals which Anthony
Comstock is so anxous*to suppress
with their suggestive pictures of pert
ladies clad —if it be lawful to call
them clad —In gowns cut very low in
the neck and.very high at the knees.
Such periodicals while having a wide
circulation among bald-headed old
gentlemen are innocent as compared
with the traffickers in the insane taste
for gore.
It is somewhat curious that the
disciples of “prudery and pantalettes"
who have engaged in the self-Imposed
task of regulating our morals do not
understand this. If any “monster”
dares publish a reprint of some famous
painting in which the human form
divine Is pictured In its perfection
the members of the fig-leaf society
hold their hands to tbeir blushing
faces In holy horror. “Tony" Com-
stock in a recent speech accused the
circulators of such prints of "placing
moral cancera in the bands of our
youth." As though cancers were
sticks of candy to be handled by babes
in arms with impunity and dirty gn-
gers; although the wise parent would
probably prefer a “moral cancer” to
an immoral and dissolute one. It has
always seemed to us a strange anom-
aly that the joys of love are consid-
ered too vulgar to be discussed other
than by lascivious innuendoes; while
the act that kills is hawked in glaring
headlines In the street.
As The Light suggested In an edi-
torial a short time ago there is left
in man a great deal of inherent cruel-
ty. The baby pulls the cat’s tail out
of mere love of hearing its cry of pain.
Perhaps the child is but a "reversion”
to the type of some ancient ancestor
whose chief joy was in seeking to
lengthen the caudal appendage of
such stray wild-cat as chanced in his
way. At any rate the old viking
spirit is not extinct. “Put in more of
the red” is the cry now as always.
We still take exquisite pleasure in wit-
nessing scenes of dare-deviltry in
which a life is placed in pawn; and
not a few of us turn down our thumbs
as the Romans of old. "Peace on
earth” is belched forth from the can-
nons of Christian nations. Man is yet
half a brute. It la only to be expected
that a venal press should play its part
In pandering to our instinctive taste
for horrors.

RUSSIA’S CLAIM TO MANCHURIA.
Hers by the Right of the Blood of Her
Son.
"We took Manchuria by force of
arms In a war called iorth not by Rus-
sia. but by tbe missionaries and trad-
ers of western Europe. Every step of
our advance marked by the blood of
our sons becomes an inalienable part
of our empire. Any retreat for us is
impossible.”
Thus the political editor of Novoe
Vremya. the great Russian govern-
ment organ among the newspapers
wrote to an American periodical.
“Manchuria belongs to us” he says
"by the right of Justice the best of
all claims." Then he declares that it
required an army of 200000 men to
occupy the country 28000 of whom
were lost. It is the same thing we in
this century have heard many times

I am Inclined to think that Steven-

tist. Taken even at your own esti-
mate he overtops you in character as
well as in literature. He gave to
more than you will ever give greater

honor him who gives to it delights. He
