San Antonio, Texas—The hot wave
which has swept over the north with
such an Incinerating effect in some
localities, has brought about an un-
usual conditii n among the people in
the matter of spending their vaca-

thousands have come south to find a
col retreat. Just now the pleasure
rtaorta are crowded to overflowing
with people fnuin as far north <as Chi-
cago and St. Paul. Such splendid
hotels aa those at Galveston, Rock-
port, Corpus Christi, Port iLevacca,
and 'Port O'Connor are crowded to
overflowing and reservations run sev(

never gone to the coast before have
sought the waters of the Gulf as a|

One of ex-Governor Penny packer's
best stories-and he has a rare collec-
tion of real witty stories—is one bear-
ing upon the prevalence of divorces.
At a recent meeting, when he dis-
eussed the need of uniform divorce
laws, the ex governor told the story,
saying:
"Too many Americans are In sym-
pathy with the little schoolboy who
was asked to write his Idea of Greek
marriage customs,
"After a little thought the lad wrote:
"'Among the Greeks a man only
married one wife, which was called
monotony.' '—Philadelphia Times.

"Just one, darling," he pleaded as
fools do.
"One moment," she said, restraining
him. "Tell me first, have you ever
kissed another girl?"
"Never!" he swore.

one, and I'm neither a reformatory nor
a miracle worker."—Baltimore Suu.

Restored His Good Name.
Twenty-four years ago John Meikle
wns tried, convicted nnd sentenced for
sheep stealing In Now Zealand. After
serving seven years he was a free man
and started out to show that he was
innocent and wrongly convicted. The
first thing he had sent up for four
jrenrs for perjury the •chief witness
against him. Three years ago he
finally, through his persistence, had
passed "an act to reverse the convic-
tion of John Meikle on a charge of
sheep stealing," and It wns put upon
the statute booK of New Zealand
Then the New Zealand parliament
was urged to awani Meikle $25,000,
| but they made it $12,500. Thus a man
entirely innocent and wrongly convict-
ed has been forced to spend lhe best
years of his life in prison and in work
to restore his good name, which f« r
years was lost because of a ueighbor
bearing false witness.
