There was little shooting scrape at
q little town in the interior of Texas
not long ago, and it was not long be-
fore Galveston News reporter was on
the spot interviewing one oil the prin-
cipals.
$50 you are going to write it up"
said the survivor.
"Yes, I want all the facts"
II don't care . cent what you say
about the shooting, but have one lit
tie favor to ask"
The reporter said he would grant it
cheerfully if he could.
"Well," said the shootist, II want
you to put down that my grandfather
was one of Laftte's pirates, and the
worst cut-throat of the gang"
The reporter stared little, but the
shootist went on to say:
"Please put in that one of my uncles
was hung by the Vigilance Commit
tee in San Francisco, and two more of
them are making shoes in the Illinois
penitentiary that another one of them
is practicing law in New York; and
my only sister ran away from home
with the clown of a circus that as far
as you can learn there is not men,
ber of the family that has not done
something disgraceful."
why, what do you want all that in
the paper for 7"
Because I am sick of reading in
the papers that every fellow who has
a little shooting scrape belongs to one
of the most respectable families in the
country. just put it down, for once,
that one Of the parties to the unfortu-
nate affair belongs to highly disre-
putable family. If you don't put it
that way you will wish you had"

A 4REMTNISCENCE OFls12.

Miss Rebecca w. Bates, of Scituate
Harbor, one of the heroines of 1912,
has just celebrated her eighty seventh
anniversary at the old homestead. Two
sisters, Rebecca and Abigail, daugh-
ters of the lighthouse keeper at Scit-
uate, played part in the Revolution
ary period as noteworthy as that of
Barbara Freitche. The lighthouse at
the above period was made the scene
of fife and drum victory over an
English blockade in Scituate Harbor.
Two American vessels were coming
into the harbor laden with -four. AS it
was shallow the man-of.war was afraid
to venture, and manned two boats to
pursue. They were fast gaining on
them when seen by Rebecca and Alb
bic Bates, when going out to pick up
chips to boil the tea kettle for the
evening meal. The place was under
the protection of "Home Guards, +"
who, not apprehending any danger,
were on forage in huckleberry
patch. The girls had become familiar
with ammunition and military music.
Perceiving the danger, one of the sis
ters proposed to face the enemy with
guns, but taking in the fearful odds,
had recourse to stratagem. They fed
to . side of the light house SO as to be
concealed from the enemy, and one of
them with stentorian voice called the
roll. In an instant after Rebecca
struck martial air on the fife, and
Abbie hammered on the drum Justify.
The music reached the British, flag
was hoisted, and the two boats wheel
ed about, and in the act seaman fell
overheard, but was seized neck and
heels and hauled in. The music also
alarmed the absent guards, who re-
turned in time to raise tumultuous
cheers as the enemy was departing,
the ladies playing yankee Doodle"
Those two sisters never married, al
though they had several proposals.
They were very industrious and
conld ply the needle and thread on any
kind of garment for male or female.
The family is remarkable for their
longevity. Their father died very aged,
and their mother 81, and their paternal
grandfather more than 100. One sister,
Mrs. Jane Curtis. is in her Goth year,
and another, Mrs. Hawthorn, is in her
69th. The house occupied by these two
celebrities was built by their grand
father l40 years ago, and is in won
derful state of preservation.

A writer in the Providence journal
predicts a useful future for the milk
weed, which has heretofore been con-
sidered only cumberer of the ground.
Its seeds yield finer oil than linseed /;
its gum can be used in place of India
rubber; and from its floss fabric re-
sembling Irish poplin has been made !;
while the young shoots are used in the
spring by some people instead of aspar-
agus, which they resemble in flavor.
Now, pertinently adds the writer, if
uses can be discovered for the thistle
and whlteweed, they may prove friends
in disguise.
