"GET OFF THAT STUMP"
and Home


An old clipping from the Cairo ulI.)
Democrat of June, 1866, tells the follow
ing story: Among the paroled Con-
federate soldiers who came up on the
steamer Lady Gay on Tuesday was a
man of little over seven and half feet
in height. He started out with the
Missouri troops at the commencement
of the war, and stuck to them until the
"dog was dead" and never received a
scratch. Soon after he was mustered
into the service the regiment to which
he belonged appeared before the colo
mel, who prided himself on the fine ap-
pearance and good size of his men,
cast his eyes along the line with a
self satisfaction until they rested on
the towering form of the tall Missouri
an, when he knit his brows and called
out in fierce, thunder tones, "Get off
that stump, you Impairment scoun-
drel, or I'll order you under arrest"
The soldiers looked at each other,
wondering what the colonel meant,
but no one moved. Finding his au-
thority treated with disrespect, he
fairly boiled with rage, and advancing
to the big soldier he exclaimed:
"What in the deuce are you standing
on?" The soldiers respectfully replied
"On my feet, colonel" The colonel
was completely taken aback as he sur
veyed this tall specimen of humanity
from head to foot in blank amaze
ment; he mumbled an apology for his
rude remarks and fastened away,
leaving his men convulsed with laugh
ter. "Get off that stump" became
by word with the Missouri Confederate
and it will no doubt live as long as
the long Missourin.
The hero of this incident was named
Henry Thurston. He enlisted in the
Confederate army in Versailles, Nor
gan county, NO., where his brother,
DR.. j. s. Thurston, still resides,
Henry, it is said, moved out to Cali.
fornia, where he , still living comfort
able happy and tall as ever.-Er.

A little less than 3 year ago Professor
w. X, Jones purchased this institution
Of learning and at once began to make
improvements in the building and to

pal and faculty had changed annually,
and there seemed TO be no stability 70
II, Having made the property his
own, Professor Jones began 10 build

teacher In Tennessee was so well
established that several of his best
teachers came with him to Texas, and
a number OF his pupils from Tonnes
see, Georgia, Alabama ana other
States joined him here last fall, upon
the opening of his school, and have
Just completed their course and gone
home highly delighted with Texas and
the college. THE HERALD, and In fact
we might say the people OF Dallas,
as a whole, are proud of such an ac-

the services and permanent location Of
such man as Professor w. X, Jones.

Great Improvement In the ST. james
Hotel BulldIng,

Hotel Building.
The decided improvements being
made on the exterior of the st. James
Hotel building, one OF which is the
painting of the three-story part beau
tiful white, led a reporter to enter the
hotel, where he met Mr.. j. NJ, Orr, the
proprietor, who has done so much to
improve and beautify the building he
is now occupying. Going through the
hotel we were struck with the extreme
cleanliness of everything. The rooms
were neatly furnished, halls and floors
carpeted, walls throughout the house
newly papered; in fact, not speck of
dust or grease WAS visible. All of his
furniture is new; all OF the beds have
the best spring mattresses. The hotel
is nicely arranged inside. Wide halls
run the depth OF the building and also
60-toot halls traversing these, all Of
them ending with outside
openings and through which
fine breezes are continually
blowing. This hotel recently added
third story and to allay any fears
that might bo entertained Mr.. Orr has
placed one of the latest improved fire
escapes, easy of access from all floors.
IL Is the only fire escape in the city.
The kitchen ~ this hotel Is as cloAu as
the upstairs None but the best
cooks are employed. The dining room
is conveniently arranged, and The t.
bic ware and linen kept scrupulOusly
clean. The room always has breeze
through II and is kept fly proof, The
bed rooms are coy and nicely located,
The arrivals at this hotel go TO show
that Mr., Orr's efforts are appreciated.
The hotel runs 80 beds and are nearly
always occupied. The rates of the no
tel are $3.50 per day for transient, and
IL lays claim TO be as nicely kept as
any 81 hotel in the land.

A TRIP TO HENDERSON.

How the Crops Look-A Talk with
a Veteran of the Historic, bat Il-
fated Mier Expedition, who Drew the
Last White Bean.
LoNavIEw, juno l9.-[Special. i
THE HERALD correspondent made a
trip to Henderson via Overton yester-
day and found the cotton crop prospect
very good, but corn crops somewhat
backward aud needing rain. Gardens
at Overton are nearly burned up.
Some very substantial brick build
ings are in course of construction at
Henderson and the citizens feel conf
dent of steady improvements in case
a good crop is made this year.
The correspondent met one of the
famous Texas veterans who was saved
in the black bean trial in the City of
Mexico in 1913 His name is Richard
Brown, IA years old but perfectly erect
and strong, though his hair and beard
are as white as snow. He is very &C.
centric and it took good deal OF work
to get him unawares on his war remi-
niscences, but when once warmed
up his eyes would flash when
speaking OF hghting. he
settled near about Henderson
in 1886, and fought i'll several Indian
and the Mexican wars. He went with
the Inflated Mexia expedition In 1912,
and lived on fresh beef and coffee for
three months, not tasting bread dur
ing the whole time, and was some-
times without anything for days. He
said several of his comrades, calling
them by name), would on these occa-
siOns, when they did get beef, eat a
large quantity and swell up and die in
short time. He, with his comrade,
was captured beyond the Rio Grande
River, al place called Mier, in No
V5mber, 1912, and were taken to the
City Of Mexico, where they rem aimed
% months with Just enough food to
keep body and soul together. Ha wing
no desire to live at the expiration OF
this time the famous black bean tria
was instituted, description Of which
| he gave. He said there were just 100 OF
them and it was decided to kill nine
out of every 10. An old stone water
pitcher was placed on the outside of q
plank wall or fence, which had q hole
| Just large enough for man to reach
| through and insert his hand into the
| pitcher, which contained 80 black and
| 10 white beans. Each drew life OF
death in this way. He was the last
man to draw white bean. He sale
ere were two brothers one nearly deac
with consumption, the other healthy
The consumptive gave his white bear
to his brother and went out with the
condemned and was shot. Mr.. Brown
said as far as he was concerned, ht
had as soon died as lived, and many
others so expressed themselves. Aftel
the execution the survivors were SEN
TO Vera Cruz, and thence back home
The correspondent asked the ole
man if the sun didn't hurt him wher
working in the cotton. He replied
that vegetation grown in the sun mus
live in the sun, and hurried away.
