"0ld Sam Houston"

ONE Of the most excentric characters
" of the old United States Senate was
General Sam Houston, of Texas. His
character harmonized with his life,
which had been one of strange adven-
ture.
He had served as soldier in the war
of 1912, as Governor of Tennessee, as an
Indian chief while an exile among the
Cherokees, and as commander-in-ch
of the Texan army. He was victor on
the field of San Jacinto, and became
the first president of the republic of
Texas. In the streets of Washington,
his tall fgure-he Is six feet and half
in height-and singular dress attracted
attention. On his head he wore Mex
lean sombrero, while bright-colored
blanket was thrown negligently over
his shoulder. His coat and pants, of
the richest black broadcloth, set Off
unique vest made of tiger skin.
In the Senate chamber he would set
all day whiting, with pile soft wood
and basket to hold the shavings by his
side. Young ladies and children were
quite anxious to secure the hearts, darts,
crosses and other devices which the
Senatorial whittier made. Around his
bedroom at the hotel hung several print
ed cards, on which were inscribed, "My
bedtime is nine o'clock"
AS a stump speaker, the backwoods-
men, who called him "Old SAM"
thought he had no equal. He had a
melodious voice, excelled as a teller of
anecdotes, and was fond - though he
spoke pure English - of dropping into
the pdtOis of his frontier audiences. In
1857, the Legislature of Texas refused to
re-elect him Senator because he voted
against the Kansas Nebraska bill. He
ran for Governor. In one of his speeches
during the excited canvass, he said:
"But, fellow citizens, you whopped
me good. Now, eff donne wrong, you
have had your satisfaction and eff /
donno wrong, God knows l forgive
YOU"
The backwoodsmen cheered the man
who could talk to them in their own
lingo, and Houston was re elected by an
overwhelming majority.
While Houston was clerk in coun-
try store in Tennessee, the war of 1912
broke out and he at once enlisted. The
style in which he did so was character
istic. A drummer and fifer paraded the
streets of the town, headed by a SER
geant. Silver dollars were placed on the
head of drum, and volunteer stepped
up and took dollar which was his
bounty and the sign of enlistment
Houston took his dollar and at once
marched, with other recruits against the
Creek Indians.
His friends had sufficient influence to
procure him an ensign's commission
At the battle of the Horse Shoe" he
mounted the Indian fort ,colors in hand,
A barbed arrow pierced his thigh. Hous-
ton ordered soldier to pull it out. The
man tried and failed.
If you don't pull it out" exclaimed
Houston, drawing his pistol, "I will
shoot you'll"
The man gave strong pull and out
came the arrow, leaving a lacerated
wound. AS soon as it was dressed he
rushed out again into the fight, whence
he was carried out with two balls in
his right shoulder.

A Monkey at Church.

Grandfather Allen was scotch min
lister, grand good man, and emphatic
in his gestures and motions. He had a
pet monkey, Tib, an intelligent crea-
ture, of whom he thought great deal.
Tib on his part loved his master so,
that like Mary's little lamb, he followed
where ever he went. So on Sunday he
was shut in the house and chained. Of
course Tib did not at all approve, and on
one memorable Sunday he unfastened his
chain, slipped out of the house and stole
away to the kirk, where he hid on the
sounding board directly over the minis
ter's head. He behaved quietly until
the sermon began. Then he moved to
the edge of the board where he could see
his master. Tib looked at the earnest
preacher with great interest, and soon
began to mimic the gestures. AS he
was in full view of the congregation
the effect was ridiculous enough, and
soon even the sober grown folks shook
with suppressed laughter, while the
little folks couldn't suppress theirs at
all. The minister, who couldn't see
master Tib, felt very indignant, and
rebuked his people sharply, and the
laughter continued. Then Grandfather,
angry and excited, raised his voice and
gesticulated more violently, and the

The Coming Campaign.
lNatchitoches Vindicator. |


The Legislature, composed part
w Of Democrats, but mainly of
Radicals and weak Conservatives,
having adjourned after protract-
ed session of sixty days, during
which time they did absolutely
nothing to benefit the people, 1t
behooves us now to look the issues
likely to be prominent this fall
squarely in the face.
Louisiana is Democratic State
none can gainsay tbat-and the
majority for that party next cleo
tion will depend entirely upon the
make mp oftheir ticket, both local
ly and for State Treasurer and
Congressman. For ourselves we
say plainly, and we beleiyeit to be
the sentiment of this entire COM
munity, that we intend to support
no man by word or deed, who has
not a straight out, full fledged,
pure record, dyed in the wool
Democrat. Time, and the EVIL
sdence in book, has completely
cured every one of the ''Conserva-
tive" hobby. PRINCIPLES, and
men who will maintain, execute
and promote them without regard
to the howls of the fanatic, or the
walls of private toes tread upon, is
what the people of this State re-
guire and demand, and they are
going to continue the battle with
out regard to who gets hurt until
they accomplish that end.
Their platform is terse and to
the point:
1. An honest constitution; and
to that end vote down the amend
ments and call constitutional
convention.
2. No man for Office, either high
or low, save he be an honest,
straigbt-oH Democrat.
3. All laws for the benefit and
protection of society, without re-
gard to race, color or previous
condition.
4. Show us the enemy and We
are ready.
