1 was at Lundy's Lane which was fought
on the 25th of July, 1913. We had 700
Indians there, and portions of the 41st,
49th and Tooth regiments. The Indians
all ran away, but came back next morn

trat the poor creature had been shot
through the back, but was trying to feed.
After the battle was over we buried all our
own dead, but we could not bury the
Americans so we made pyre with fence
rails as high as we could reach, laying
bodies between each layer of rails in their
uniforms as they fell, and the next day.

QUALIFICA TIONS NECESSARY FOR
STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
RIoHLANp SPRINGS, Tex, July I, 'S6.

R1oHLAND SPRINGS, Tex, July I, SO.
To the Statesman.
No lightweight man will answer for the
office of state superintendent of public in ,
struction. In addition to the clerical
duties performed by the present incum-
bent, there are other duties he should be
qualified to perform acceptably to the
people.
First - The influence of the State
Teachers association, for good, with its
annual meetings, is patent to all. Let this
good be decemfolded. state superin-
tendent is needed who, by correspondence
and otherwise, can bring together the
teachers of the several congressional dis
tricts, at central points therein, an
nually, or better semi annually.
These semi-annual associations would
do for the districts the same good that
the state association does for the state
1t is not every man in the educational
ranks who has the ability and acquaintance
necessary to enable him to lnaugurate
these district associations. He must be
a man something like Horace Mann OF
Wickersham. He must be filled with zeal
and enthusiasm for the education cause
He must leave Austin ten times year and
organize these associations. He must
travel at his own expense, even as Cleve'
land does.
These associations could be entertained
by many towns in the districts, that can't
entertain the state association of teachers
The towns would be benefited the dis
tricts would be benefited, thousands OF
teachers would be reached and benefited
that never will be by any other process.
Let's have man that can and will dc
this work, a man not seeking this Office
Hon. John M. Richardson. He came
within a few votes of the nomination
two years ago. He is charged with using
Incorporate words in withdrawing from
the contest. Maybe so. Washington
used Incorporate words at the battle OF
Monmouth. Christ used something like
unto a quirt on the money changers il
the temple.
In the late meeting of the state associa
ton of teachers in your city, of which
ASSOCIATION he was chairman, he showed
himself ready and able parliamenta
rian and an impartial presiding officer
He is not seeking the nomination. Fol
one, am afraid, on principle, of all thest
men who seek the Office. Washington
sought no office; Cleveland seeks no of
flee. Let this high, honorable and digni
fed Office of state superintendent of pub
lie instruction seek the man.

A MOTHERS LAMENT.

WRITTEN BY AN AUSTIN LADY.
Come to me darling just for tonight.
Lift the dark curtain that hides you from sight.
Come to me now from your home above,
Comfort my cad heart with one ray Of love.
Where oh where in the immensely OF space,
Arc you wandering with the great Esprit racer
Or is your home in one Of the bright worlds
That shine on rs when night her mantle unfurlsl
Is life thing real-Death relief,
Eternal life, such as a Christian belief
Yes. know there Is a heaven, for In loving you
The gates Of that heaven were o'ped TO my view.
NY heart Is now dead, twas broken the day,
You bid me good-by with the last breath you drew.
They ROBBED you in white and took You away,
And then my heart turned TO cold cold clay.
Years have passed since that day Of midnight"
Darkness still hides my soul from the light
] move with the living as machines 60 through,
What er IL allotted them to do.
In my heart there's no light, no hope is there
It's breath called life wrapped in apal Of despair.
Oh cannot you come just for tonight, 80
And lift the dark curtain that hides you from
sightY
Come tell me you ii know me and be mine again,
When the Jordan of death Is stripped OF Its pain.
Tell me you are watching and waiting for me,
AS my heart for long years has been waiting for
thee.

have seen the bodies consumed by fire.
The weather, however, was terribly hot,
and it had to be done. At Lundy's Lane
we were in the open and the enemy were
in the woods. We took them by surprise.
The bayonet did fearful execution then.
One bullet went through my hat and an
other turned the skin on my right side. l
remember one poor fellow who was shot
through the lungs lying against the gravel
yard fence and oh, how he moaned about
his wife and children. He told me tina
the soldiers had been promised farms
here If they could drive us out. 1t was
poor principle for any government to do
that l think.

The visitors arrive one by one. The artist
receives them cordially, points out any pic
ture Of his they may wish specially to see,
gives them the freedom of the place and
holds himself at their service. When was
there the faithful Abyssinian brought in a
dainty lunch for the artist, tastefully served
in fine china with nice napery. This was
pronounced an affecta alton by some who have
opinions. For my part l think man has .,
right to eat in his own apartments whenevec
he pleases, and | can understand that lie
might be too busy to eat sooner | will say
to Mr. Chase's credit that he did not sit
down to that appetizing tray while guest
remained.
A beautiful Russian deer hound, white as
the SHOWS of his native mountains, lolled
around on the comfortable chairs and
divans with an indolent enjoyment quite
human like. He is the only one of his kind
in this country Idon't know why artists
are predsposed to hounds, Perhaps 1t is be-
cause they are graceful.
Mr. Chase is rich enough to live where he
pleases, but he doesn't please to live as other
people do. A little stairway and gallery
leads from the first room Of the studio to his
private apartments There his furnishings
are as magnificent as in his public rooms.
Carved bedsteads from Holland, Florentine
wardrobes, with doors several inches in
thickness, Spanish chests, Venetian sofas
and exquisite lamps vie with each other in
beauty.
All this success has been won by q western
man, an Indianian. Mr.. Chase is Hoosier
by birth, and in appearance, taste and man
ner Frenchman, Frenchier than Whistler
himself. He is 36 years old, has Travelled
much and has collected all these trophie:
and oddities of art himself, besides as many
more in his fathers house. When | ex
pressed surprise at the enormous collection
having been acquired by one so young HI
| said:
at was no trouble to gather these things
| They float to me- as it were. hope SOM
day to bu Id a studio large enough to hole
all / want to put into it,"
Mr.. Chase has Partisan reputation ever
| greater than his fame here He Is quoted
as high authority there. This is considered
the more remarkable because he is still
young and western man. New Workers
never get over their surprise at the success
of the people of the west in art or letters
though they see examples of it every day.
Speaking on this subject Mr.. Chase said
that, as an officer of the Art Students
league, he had an opportunity Of learning
that the art talent Of the west was quite uI
to that of the east. Many Of the students
were from the west, and they were pretty
sure to succeed.

Among other works of his hand wei
worth seeing is ife-size portrait of
Whistler, the man who maks ghostly etch-
ings and calls them fine names, who wears
one eyeglass, and who threatens to come on
here and give his 40 o'clocks. And there are
pictures from Leibel, whom Mr.. Chase re-
CARDS as the greatest of modern German
artists, from Vallon, the greatest Of French
painters, Stevens, yelasquez and many
others.
But this studio is not a representative one.
1t is unique in its magn ficencs.

The answer is at hand. In the WASHINGTON
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, because
Isl. Its actual Investments, at their market
value, considerably exceed the gross liabilities.
I'd. The Investments of the Washington are
Bond Bonds and Mortgages first liens) and United
States and New York State Stocks and Bonds, in
York.
3D. Its assets consist of class of securities de-
s'rable and profitable for an individual to have
and to hold. None of the premiums of its mem
bers, nor any of the funds of the Company, have
been impcriled or sacrificed by unwise purchases
of questionable securities, such as Manufacture
ing Companies Stocks, Railroad Stocks and
Bonds. Bank and Fire Insurance Co.'S Stocks or
loans upon mere personal security.
The losses in Railroad securities alone, by sew
eral Life Insurance Companies of hundreds of
thousands Of dollars, is a fact which attests the
wisdom OF THE WASHINGTON in the choice of its
investments.
4th. Every policy, by its own terms, is pro-
9th. The Washington, in accordance with Ar
ticle "a. or conditions and Agreements referred
to and forming part of the policy" upon demand
made with surrender Of the policy, will issue a
non-participating pad-up policy for the full
amount that the reserve will purchase as per
legal standard OF the state of New York, payable
as agreed in original policy.
9th. Its policies and applications have plain
conditions making the contract simple matter.
easily understood, and not liable to msconstruc-
ton. There are no hooks upon which to hang
legal bubbles that might make it a matter of
doubt whether the insurer had provided for his
heirs legacy or law suit.
7th. Its policy holders have insurance at cost,
annually This Company has never passed a div
idend.
sth. Its dividends are made annually, and paid
at the end of the first and every succeeding poll
cy year.
9th. Its dividends may increase the amount of
insurance, or diminish the premium at the option
of the insured.
10th. Its dividends are absolutely the property
of the policy holder Original with The Washing
tom secured by the charter of the company.
18th. The Washington Life Insurance Compa-
ny has always been managed in the interests of
its policy holders in accordance with its charter,
which is believed to be more just and liberal to-
wards the policy holders than that OF any other
company. 1t is the only company which makes
non forfeitable dividend.
18th. policy in The Washington cannot lapse
by non payment of premium so long as there is
any dividend remaining to its credit.
18th. The Washington pays claims by death
occurring within the period protected by divi-
dends and holds its policies good, in all respects,
during such period

If party fails to pay his premium when due,
provided he pays it within the period for which
