SAM HOUsTON's SECRET.
Why the Famous Old Man Left
Tennessee and Went to Texas

I'm =, :,
6. Inc oiank ia the history Oh the famous
2am houston mas at last been filled up.
u VIII De remembered that after living
lor some time among the Cherokee In
dlans ana nghtlng IN the war OF 1872, he
seotieo IN tennessee, began to practice
Jaw, was Twice elected 10 congress, and
IN 1917 was elected Governor OF len
nessee, and IN January, 1879, he was
married TO the belle OF Tennessee, and
III less than Two months after his mar
rage ne suddenly resigned the Cover
1orshlp' deserted MS vile and home and
disappeared.
:, Ibis created an intense sensation
throughout the country, as houston was
regarded as the most promising man in
tne south. Inc cause OF Houston's re-
slgnatlon OF the Governorship,. his de-
sertlon OF MS bride, and his abandon
menu Oh the pain OF clVlllzatlon mas
always been mystery. He never re-
vealed IL himself to his civilized friends.
a reporter sent to Iahlequah, Indian
territory, to write up the Indian trou-
bles, obtained from undoubted authority
facts that clear up this mystery.
When Houston resigned the Governor
ship he rode straight from Tennessee's
capital to the Arkansas River. He fell
in with band of Usage Indians near
the present site OF Fort Gibson, told
them he desired to live with the tribe,
and he was welcomed. He donned a
breech-clo and blanket, shaved his
head to the crown and daubed his face
with paint. He cut himself off entirely
from civilization and lived with the
Indians.
For time he was leader and mar
RED an Indian girl, but afterward he
became drunkard. While under the
influence OF whisky he told the story of
his flight from Tennessee to John Jorley,
an Indian companion. Jorley told 1T to
Wolff Star, and from the latter the cor
respondent got it.
Houston's wife married him to please
her parents She had been previously
engaged to young man IN Nashville,
but. under parental influence, broke off
the engagement and accepted Houston s
offer OF marriage, and. in view OF his
prospects. It was thought she had made
brilliant match. He loved the young
woman, and was made to believe that
she returned his affection. Houston
had no knowledge of the previous en-
gagement, and Ais wife managed to
maintain outwaA cheerfulness for some
time. He returned home one night

THE HAY CROP.
Hints About Haying-The Best Time
to Cut.

1t is fairly settled that the best time
to cut grass for hay is just before the
seed is so far advanced as to mature
enough after cutting to terminate. The
seed nutriment-th most valuable part
lis then in the stalk, and cutting and
curing fixes it there. Cut earlier it con-
tains less nutriment, and cut later the
seed shells out in handling, many of the
leaves are dried up and wasted, and hay
is largely woody fibre; besides, in ma
turing seeds a large and unnecessary
draft is made upon the soil. Stock do
not like this kind of fodder, and fed on
it alone through the winter will hardly
hold their own, rs have seen demon
strated. The great trouble is, where
there is much to cut, and help scarce, it
is difficult to do it all just in the mick
O. time. /" In this case l would cut as
fast as all hands could cock it up, and
leave the drawing in until afterward.
There would be some danger from in
jury from rain, but hay we'll put up in
large cocks will endure good rain with
little injury, much less than permitting
it to ripen. j have seen neighhors ex-
change work when one had grass ripen-
ing before the other. Glover should be
cut when half of the heads are turned
brown, and if it does not dry enough to
60 in that day it should be cooked up,
even if so green that it must be spread
out the next morning, for q heavy dew
turns all of the exposed leaves black. 1t
can usually be SO managed as to be
cured enough the day of cutting SO that
the curing will complete in the cock. In
whatever manner it is done it should
never be allowed to become so dry that
the leaves shell off in handling, for this,
like the other case, leaves little else but
woody fibre. In cooking hay the wind
rows should not be "rolled" to make a
foundation, for many of the stalks would
turn inward and rain follow them, re-
sulting in damaged hay all around the
bottom. "Clean pitching" by forkfuls
is the safe way.
