break up their piratical rendezvous.
Shortly after the departure of Lafitte
and his followers, Colonel Long, with
his force, sailed down the coast to tho
mouth of the San Antonio River, and
then marched for La Bahia (Goliad)
where they took possession without OPP
position, though in short time
they were captured by force of 800
Mexicans, who were also at war with
Spain. The Americans were detained
as prisoners, and their commander sent
to the City of Mexico. He never re-
turned, and it was long time before
his fate became known. 1t appears
that he was liberated at the instance Of
the American Minister, and in few
days assassinated. Colonel Long had
left his young wife, the lady whose de-
cease is now announced. at Point Boil
var, then peninsula just east Of Calves
ton, to await his return, where she re-
manned with the force left to hold the
place. Hearing nothing from their
commander, the little force dwindled
away, and finally abandoned the post,
but the heroic young wife of Long, with
her infant child and father and negro
slave, refused to leave, and remained
until her friends came from Louisiana
and carried hsr~-aWaY. She kept the
Indians at bay by firing cannon at inter-
walls and creating the impression that
troops were still there. In 1922 she
learned that her husband had been
murdered. She settled on the Brazos
with Austin's colony in 1922 or 1928,
and has remained in Texas ever since.
Her daughter, who was the infant at
Bolivar, was afterward the first wife of
Judge j. s. Sullivan, now a citizen OF
Galveston.

aloof from him. They would not walk

this to cheat pussy out of his breakfast.
AS soon as the servant poured out the
cats allowance of milk the fox would
run up to the spot and walk around the
saucer, we'll knowing that the rightful
owner would not touch it. Day after
day the cat lost his milk, until the trick
was found out, and the milk placed in a
spot where the fox could not reach it.
After he had been stopped from rob-

milk became so tainted with the smell of

Died as a King Should.

j. E. MURDOCH has written a book
on the stage, in which occurs the fol.
lowing story:
Mr.. Macready was fond of telling the
following story as his experience of
American independence, exemplifed in
a western actor of the self-satisied
kind: LIN the last act of Hamlet,"
said he, IL was very anxious to have
the King. who was rather of a demo-
cratic turn of mind, to fall, when
stabbed him, over. the steps of the
throne and on the right hand side, with
his feet to the left, in order that when
| was to fall should have the center
Of the stage to myself, as betitting the
principal parsonage of the tragedy. No
objection was made to this request on
the part of the actor; but at night, to
my great surprise, he wheeled directly
round after receiving the sword-thrust,
and deliberately fell in the middle of
the scene. just on the spot where I was
in the habit of dying. Well; as dead
man cannot move himself, and as there
was no time for others TO do it, the
Kings body remained in possession of
my place, and I was forced to find an
other situation, which 1 did, and fin
ished the scene in the best way could.
When expostulated with his Majesty
for the liberty he had taken, he coolly
replied: Mr.. Macready, we Western
people know nothing about Kings ex-
cept that they have an odd trick of do
ing as they please; therefore, I thoug hit
as was King I had right to do
whatever pleased; and SO, sir, fell
back upon my kingly rights, from
which, you perceive, sir, there is no
appeal I retired,' said Mr.. Mac
ready, ''to my dressing room to have
hearty laugh over what felt more
like crying over moment before"

WHOLE NUMBER 164
The RattIesnake's Fatal Venom.

Arecent number of an English scien.
tific journal contains an account of an
attempt made by DR.. Arthur Stradling,
Surgeon on board the British man-of-
war Elbe, on August l, to test the bite
Of a rattlesnake on his own person, with
the antidotes. DR.. Stradling shut him
self up in his cabin after midnight with
ligatures, ammonia, nitric acid, brandy
and the serpent, Cyotalus borridus. The
snake was but a small one, with but
two rattles, but lively and not at all in
clined to lend himself to the cause Of
science. When the doctor introduced
his gloved hand into the box, proposing
to be bitten on the feshless part of the
wrist, the snake sprang out at the other
arm and inflicted two punctures, 1eav-
ing the fang iii one DR.. Stradling shut
the siis.ke UP, pulled out the fang with
forceps and sat down to write out his
sensations and to apply his remedies.
He had no sensations and applied no
remedies.
About four hours later he suddenly
perceived lump rising on his arm and
turned to the table to get the nitric
acid, when he became dizzy and fell on
his cot insensible. There he was found
anhourer:tpspllat erpeea lyzed in the low
er extremities, MS breath scarcely per-
ceptible, and his eyes fixed and CLASSY.
Frightful commissions followed, and it
was only after the most vigorous treat
ment with brandy, sulphuric acid and
ammonia for two days that be rallied.
''He was as weak says his attendant
physician, Gas baby, and mere lay
figure for the exhibition of beef-tea, ar
row-root and misplaced sympathy"
No good could possibly result from so
fool-hardy an experiment.
DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, the eminent
American specialist in nerve diseases,
made the poison OF the rattlesnake and
It's remedy the subject of years of study
and experiment. His monograph on the
subject was published by the Smithso-
MAN Institute. The result of his re-
searches was that no known specific
against the bite Of this serpent is 50
certain as whisky, swallowed until the
patient becomes drunk. The hunters
and trappers Of the lower Alleghanies
reached this conclusion long ago with
out any scientific research. We have
heard among them of innumerable in
stances of bites, but of none which
proved fatal when whisky was taken in
time and in sufficient quantity, though
in cases where the snake was old, and
its fangs full of venom, the health of
the victim was injured for life. Against
the bite Of the copperhead, however, it
is said to prove totally Intellectual,

The Wrong Parrot.

1t may be possible for a man to have
anything to do with parrot and main
tain his reputation as gentleman, but
Mr.. Ragbag doubts it. Ragbag is en-
gagged to a young lady at the South
End, and at Christmas time proposed
to present to her little brother one of
those birds. He explained to his pros
pective mother-in-law that it would be
perfectly safe for the child to have the
bird, as it was q very moral parrot. He
stated that he got the bird when very
young and had brought it up himself,
and nobody but him had been allowed
to go near the fowl; SO he was sure the
bird would not indulge in profanity, for
of course he never did, himself, and so
how could the bird know any? The
gift being approved, Ragbag took the
parrot down to a bird store to get new
cage for it. There was none that Just
suited, and he had to leave the parrot
for q couple of hours while cage was
fixed. When he went for it, they by
some mistake gave him parrot of the
same breed and looking just like his
own, but not the same parrot by a long
way. 1t was bird that had belonged
to Major Dash, who was not only very
profane man but great masher. Rag
bag sent the bird to his sweetheart's
house. The next day he called. Her
father and big brother met him. His
reception was warm if not cordial.
After they had thrashed the lite half out
of him, his mother-in law that was to
be bounced into the hall where the Cir
Gus had taken place, and gave him q
tongue lashing as the most profane vii
lain and worst firt in the nation. She
wanted to know who Estelle, and Leo
nora, and Theodosia were, and, when
he swore he didn't know, the old man
and big brother sailed in on him again
and threw him out Of the house. And
when he got home, nearly dead, he
found all his letters and presents to his
girl, together with the parrot, returned,
and notification that the engagement
was off. And few minutes after the
owner of the bird store came in to tell
Ragbag that the birds had got trans
posed, and Major Dash was wild be-
cause they had sent him bird that
wouldn't swear. Ragbag saw it all.
He assaulted the bird man and after
beating him, made him 20 up to the
girls house and explain. That fixed
matters. The old man and the biz
brother have apologized to Ragbag, and
the girl has cried with her head On his
shoulder and said she never would dis
trust him again. Hut Ragbag won't be
happy till he gets some OF the bruises
healed up and he has wrung his poor
innocent parrots neck, and sWears he'll
Kill anyone who mentions the breed Of
birds to him. --B0st0n Post.
