In Park county saw four miles of

Outside of farming there is probably
more money made by grist mills, in
proportion to the capital invested, than
in any other business. 1 only saw one
mill in Texas that would compare at
all with Mr.. Holcomb's mill in st.
Leuis in appearance or in quality or
quantity of its work, and yet it was no
unusual thing to be shown mills that
made Is, 20 and % thousand dollars
last year. The reason is plain. There
is tremendous emigration into the
cotton and sugar-growing and grazing
portions of Texas, as well as to the
grain growing portion, so that the
State does not raise enough wheat to
supply the home demand. Flour is
brought in from Kansas and Missouri,
and the Texas miller adds freight to
his own product, and makes that much
more than the miller in Kansas. For
the Texas miller, this is a protective
tariff to be sure, but just as valuable
and much more honest than if ordered
by government. Horses of course are
cheap, and can be bought at auction
in any of the larger towns nearly every
day, at prices ranging from ten tosixty
dollars. The stock of horses is rapidly

from her neck, her dark hair dishevel-
ed, and her eyes sparkling with super
natural lustre. She traversed the city
with a firm and bold step; she passed
to the ramparts, to the very spot where
the enemy was pouring on to the as
sault; she mounted to the breach,
seized a lighted match from the hand
of a dying engineer, and fred the
pieces of artillery he had failed to
manage; then kissing her cross, she
cried, with the accent Of inspiration,
"Death or victory!" and reloaded her
cannon.
Such cry, such vision could not
fail Of calling up enthusiasm it tseemed
that heaven had brought aid to the
just cause; her cry was answered,
Long live Agostinap Y
Forward forward, we will con-
querp resounded on every side.
Nerved by such emotions, the force Of
every man was doubled, and the French
were repulsed on all sides.
Gen. Lefevre, mortified at the unex-
pected result, determined to reduce
the place by famine, as well as to dis
tress it by bombardment from Il To-
zero. The horrors that followed his
measures would be too painful to de-
tail, but they afforded Agostina an op-
portunity of displaying her intrepid
ty. She threw herself in the most
perilous positions to rescue the unhap-
py beings wounded by the bombs or
by the falling timbers. She went from
house to house, visiting the wounded,
binding up their hurts, or supplying
aid to the sick and starving. The
French, by their indomitable persever-
ance, from step to step, rendered them
selves masters Of nearly half the city.
Lefevre thought his hour of triumph
had now certainly arrived-he sent to
the commandant. General Palafox, to
demand capitulation. Palafox turned
to Agostina who stood near him, com
pletely armed:
"What shall | answer"
The girl Indignantly replied
WAR to the knife !"
Her exclamation was echoed by the
populace, and Palafox made her words
his reply to Lefevre.
Nothing in the history Of the war
has ever been recorded to resemble the
consequence Of this refusal to capitu-
late. One row Of houses in street
would be occupied by the Spanish, the
opposite by the French. A continual
tempest Of balls passed through the
air; the town wasa volcano /; the most
revolving slaughter was carried on for
eleven days and eleven nights Every
street, every house, was disputed with
musket and poignard. Agostina ran
from rank to rank, everywhere taking
the most active part. The French
were gradually driven back, and the
dawn of the 18th of August saw them
relinquish the long-disputed prey, and
take the road to Pampeluna. The tri-
umph Of the patriots-their joy was
unspeakable. Palafox rendered due
honorOrs to the brave men who had
persisted, and endeavored TO remuner-
ate the few intrepid warriors who sur
vived-among them was Agostina.
But what could be offered to commen-
surate with the services of one who had
saved the city? Palafox told her to
select what honors she pleased. She
modestly begged to retain the rank of
engineer, and to wear the arms Of Sar-
agossa. The rest of her life was passed
in honorable poverty until she died,
in 1926.

They sat and combed their beautiful hair,
Their long bright tresses one by one,
As they laughed and talked in the chamber
there,
After The revel was done.
Idly they talked Of waltz and quadrlIle,
Idly they laughed like other girls,
Who over the fire when all is still,
Comb out their braids ana curls.
Robes Of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots of flowers and ribbons, too,
Scattered about in every place
For The reve is through.
And Maud and Madge in robes Of white,
The pretti6st night-gowns under the sun,
Slockingless, slipperlesS, sit in the night,
For the Isvel is done.
Sit and comb their beautiful hair,
Those wonderful waves of brown and gold,
Till the fire is out in the chamber there,
And the little bare feet are cold.
Then out OF the gathering winter chill,
All out of the bitter ST. Agnes weather,
While the fire is out and the house is still,
Maud and Madge together.
Maud and Madge in robes of white,
The prettiest night-gowns under the sun,
Cur'ained away from the chilly night,
After The revel is done
Float along in a splendid dream,
To golden gittern' tinkling tune,
While a thousand lustres shimmering, stream
In palaces grand saloon.
Flashing Of Jewels and flutter of laces,
Tropical oders sweeter than musk,
Men and women with beautiful faces
And eyes of tropical dusk,
And one face shining out like star,
One face haunting the dreams of each,
And one voice, sweeter than others are,
Breaking into silvery speech,
Telling through lips Of bearded bloom
An old, old story over again,
As down the royal hammered room,
To the golden gittern's strain,
Two and two they dreamiy walk,
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And, all unheard, n the lovers talk,
He claimeth one for bride
Oh Maud aud Madge, dream on together,
With never a pang of jealous fear !
For ere the bilterest Agnes weather,
Shall whiten another year,
ROBBED for the bridal and robed for the Tomb
Braided brown hair and golden tress,
Therell only be one of you left for the bloom
Of the bearded lips to press:
Only one for the bridal pearls,
The robes of satin and Brussels lace;
Only one TO blush through her curls
At the sight of lovers face.
Oh, beautiful Madge, in your bridal white
For you the reyel has just begun;
But for her who sleeps in your arms tonight
The reye of life is done.
But robed and crowned with your sanity
bliss,
Queen Of heaven and bride Of the sun,
Oh beautiful Maud, you'll never miss
The kisses another hath won

The Maid of Saragossa.

This illustrious maiden exposed her
life for heS fing and country at the
memorable g~ge Of saragossa, in 1903.
The French General Lefevre had been
despatched by Bonaparte, in the June
Of that year, to reduce Saragossa,
where the royal standard Of the Bour-
bons had been unfurled. This city
was not fortified. 1t was surrounded
with an ill-constructed wall twelve feet
high by three broad, intersected by
houses; these houses, the neighboring
churches and converts, were in so di-
lapidated state that, from the roof to
the foundation, were to be seen, in each
immense breaches, apertures begun by
time and increased by neglect. A
large hill, called Il Torero, command
ed the town at distance of mile,
and offered strong situation for the
most destructive bombardment A
mong the sixty thousand inhabitants
there were but two hundred and TWEEN
ty regular troops, and the artillery
consisted Of ten old cannon.
The French began the siege in a
rather slothful style; they deemed
much exertion unnecessary; Saragos-
sa, they said, was only inhabited by
monks and towards. But their opin-
ion and their efforts were destined to
an entire revolution. Very seldom in
the annals of war has greater herOism,
greater bravery, greater horror and
misery been concentrated than during
the two months that these desperate
patriots repelled their invaders. No
sacrifices were too great to be offered,
no extremities too oppressive to be en-
dured by the besieged bu, as it often
occurs among the noblest bedies Of
men, that one sordid soul may be
found open to the far-reaching hand
Of corruption, such wretch happened
to be entrusted with a powder maga-
zine at Saragossa. Under the infu-
ence Of French gold, he fired the mag
zine on the night of the I'd of june
To describe the horrors that ensued
would be impossible.
The French, to whom the noise Of
the explosion had been a signal, ad-
vanced their troops to the gates. The
population, shocked, amazed, hardly
knowing what had occurred, entirely
ignorant of the cause, bewildered by
confagration, ruins, and the noise Of
the enemy's artillery unexpected thun-
dering in their ears, we're paralyzed,
powerless; the overflow, the slaughter
Of those who stood at the ramparts,
seemed more like massacre than
battle; in short time the trenches
presented nothing but heap of dead
bodies. There was no longer a COM
batant to be seen; nobody felt the
courage to stand to the defense.
At this desperate moment an un-
known maiden issued from the Church
Of Nostra Donna del Prilas, habited
