We're Coming Home.
G. R. Russom Saw San Antonio and
Graphically Describes it and
the Journey Home.
10 P. M. , March 25.
Our car ridcsfrom Victoria to
San Antenna , Texas , on the re
turn trip has been pleasantly spent
with our traveling associates , for
this has been about the only day-
.ime we have had on this trip
.hat we could call our own in
social visit and not be completely
absorbed in taking glimpses and
athering sketches for our little
story. And we surely have en
joyed this little rest and tried to
lo our part in making the home
coming of our trip to San An-
: onia both agreeable and pleasant
to one and all. As we look out
of our car window we see the
jrcat electric lights glimmering-
u the distance , telling us we will
icon be again in the beautiful
city of San Antonio , where we
must say farwell to these dear
friends our traveling associates
who have been such agreeable
companions in friendly fellow
ship , that it brings a feeling of
sadness to our very being as we
realize that the consequences of
ife are such that perhaps we will
never meet again under the can
opy of a southern sky , the same
ittle company that we are to
night , and these thoughts come
to us :
Some may cross the western mountains ,
Some may seek Ihe suuny dell ,
Some may lie beside the fountains
3're we shall meet to say farewell.
The kindness we will not forget
' "roni each and all we did tcceive ;
And stilldear friendsI'm glad we met ,
hit to part so soon makes me grieve.
The whistle has blown and our
_ oed , faithful engineer , with his
.hrobbing , pulsating , wonderful
? iece of mechanism , is now de-
ivering us safely into the shade
and shadow of the fine depot of
the M. P. R.-.R. , where we had
jcen one week before , and behold ,
icre stands that same lightning
Katy Flyer ready and waiting to
take the car Lura back to its
round trip destination , viz : Par
sons , Kansas , in the shortest pos
sible time , and we are compelled
iiurricdly to say goodby to these
dear friends and the car Lura
and grab one satchel to take'with
us , sending the rest of our treas
ured mementoes and possesssions
on with the car in care of Mr. J.
M. Turner and Mrs. S. 33. Bar-
ringer , to be gathered up when
we return a few days later. And
I must say I never did receive a
more warm friendly handshake at
parting than I did from these
good people I have been telling
and talking so much about.
And now I must leave them and
go into this large , historical city
alone , among strangers , to gather ,
if possible , some history and
items of interest that will give to
others and myself in after years ,
in life's reflective moments , when
listening ears will catch some
whispering thought from this
little message I have written ,
that will tell to the world that
the writer has a broader and
deeper and a more profound re
spect for his fellow man since
having made this trip to the love
ly southland country , a more
abiding reverence and sense of
duty and consciousness of a deep
er gratitude of love to the great
Father of life and Ruler of
heaven and earth , for His noble
works made visible to us , as seen
in the great book of nature.
And with solemn meditation and
deep revereritial awe we lift our
thoughts in praise and gratitude
to the Great Heavenly Father for
having been permitted to behold ,
in the ripening years of life's
journey , some of the magnificent
grandeur and wonderful beauty
in the mighty realm of the uni
verse and this earthly sanctuary
where His created beings are
building structures that tnusl
stand the lest of time and give
a clean , untarnished record when
the Great Loving Father shal
come to make up His jewels for
the beautiful home of the soul.
We have said farewell to these
good people ; have watched the
engineer on that mighty engine
of the Katy Flyer give the part
ing signal ; seen those monster
wheels respond to the magic
touch of the skilled hand on the
throttle as directed by the great
moving power of th& brain of this
man ; have heard the hissing
steam escape when that invisible
force was pushing its mighty
power against the head of the
great propeller the piston ; have
seen this train of caVs with its
load of precious human lives pass
on and out of sight , and I now
leave this scene that I have been
trying to tell , which I never can
forget , and make my way to a
hotel nearby theM. P. depot that
was recommended by Mr. Walter
Scott as being a nice pltirc" , which
we found was true in every re
spect.
And here we are sitting in the
room assigtled for us to occupy
for the balance of the night eras
as much longer as we cared too.
And in the silence and loneliness
of being alone and entirely among
strangers in this great city of
93,035 population , do you wonder
when I tell you in the silence and
solitude of this room I feel just a
little homesick for a little peep
through the vale of distance to
the shining light as rellected from
the window of our own home , and
view again for a little while the
sunkissed hills of good old Custcr
county that surrounds our home.
But we must be reconciled to this
state of affairs as we have made
it possible from choice our own
selves.
And now we close this day and
evening , with its many scenes
and events that have been made
visible to our eyes and conscious
to our mind , placing away in the
archives of memory the unwritten
thoughts of this day to be called
up at will. And others have
been placed in symbols of the
written language to be read ,
criticised or commented on by
those .who care to steal the time
from Uio fleeting moments of life
to rcracl this little message of
scattering thoughts I have gath
ered from this trip to the south
land.
I now lie down in peaceful
slumber , having a consciousness
in my soul I am at peace with
God and my fellow man , and to
oach"and all , 1'bid ' you a loving
good night.
March 26 , 1908.
The shades of another night
liave gone forever , and the beau
tiful sunlight of another day has
come kissing away the darkness
and gloom of night , giving to
this city , " with its beautiful
plaxas , lovely parks , magnificent
residences and myriads of sweet
scented flowers that carry their
odor and sweet fragrance to hovel
and mansion alike , and give to a
passing stranger the undisputed
evidence an assurance of scenes
pleasing to the eye , delightful to
the mind and uplifting to the
soul.
soul.We
We now take up the work of
this day , satisfying our morning
appetite in a restaurant on the
ground floor of the hotel. We
now start for uptown choosing to
walk rather than ride in the
street car , believing the exercise
will be of benefit to us. We stop
ped , on our way , in a barber shop
and gave 15 cents in exchange
for a shave , after which we re
sunied 6Uf uptown walk and
being alone , having no Katy
Flyer with us this time to rush
things , we abided our own time
and would not suffer to be rushed
in the least. And it was not
long until we were near the busi
ness center of the city walking
along tending to our own busi
ness as best we knew how. As
two gentlemen were passing by
we overheard them talking about
River Side Park addition and we
walked along still listening until
the opportune time came , and we
then made some inquiry of one of
these gentlemen about this River
Side Park addition , as we had
read something about it in Ne
braska before we left home. One
gentleman , Mr. D. S. Miller ,
soon found out was fully ab'le to
give me all the information ' I
needed , as he was a real estate
man and was agent for lots in
this very addition. He invited
me to his office , volunteered his
services to take me out and show
me the lots in River Side Park
addition. And by the kindness
and courtesy of Mr. Miller I was
most grandly entertained the rest
of the day , 1 easting me at noon
with a good dinner. After din
ner Mr. Miller rustled a team ant
buggy and give to us his time
the entire afternoon , driving ant
showing us ( he city. We visitet

Seeds is an Irishman , who
moved from the city to a farm
which at that time had been
so run down that it had not
been farmed for seven years.
He farmed it scientifically and
now he sells to the U. S. gov
ernment the soil at $1.50 per
bushel , and was secured by
Uncle Sam to go to Farmers'
Institutes and tell how he
did it. Then he began to lec
ture and became famous al
most at once. Today he is a
national character. While he
is one of the funniest men on
the plattorm he is a mighty
good and philosophical sneak'
er as well. lie is an optimist

faces is worth the price of a
