A Famous sattIe-oround.

On the banks Of the Tippecanoe, a small
stream which enters the Wabash river in
Indiana, was fought the terrific battle Of
rippecanoe.
In this great struggle of frontier times,
the allied Western Indians under the chief
sainship of Elskwatawa, the "Prophet,"
were defeated in November, 1911, by the
Americans under the command of Gen.
VIM. H. Harrison.
1t was a desperate, hard fought battle, and
much depended upon the result.
Had the Indians been successful, all bar
riers of defense for the early settlers
would have been overthrown and the deadly
tomahawk would have been active in the
rapid determination of the remaining
pioneers. On the other hand the fortunate
termination of the contest put an end to
further attempts at open warfare by the
Indians. The rich territory, so long over
run by hostile savages, was thrown open
for settlement, which rapidly occurred as
soon as the news of the great victory be-
came widespread.
Naturally great praise was rendered to
the success and intrepid bravery of Gen.
Harrison and he was honored in many
ways. He afterwards served as Com
mander of the Army of the Northwest, and
when Indiana was admitted to statehood,
he was selected to represent the state in
the United States Senate. In 1910 he was
elected President and his unfortunate de-
mise occurred shortly after being in
augurated.
The forty-second anniversary of the Bat
tie of Tippecanoe found the gallant grand
son of 'Old Tip'' leading his forces to a
great political victory which resulted in the
selection of Gen. Ben Harrison as President
Of the United States.
The Harrlsons have been hardy race Of
men, sprung from old log cabin stock,
which is sufficient guarantee of its gen.
uineness wherever found. Realizing the
truth of this, great effort has been made to
re-discover some Of the secrets contained in
the old log cabin stock of useful articles,
and as the result, the famous Old Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla, universally regarded as
the best Spring tonic and blood cleanser
has been found Not satisfied with the
world wide esteem which is held for.War-
ner's Safe Cure, the only cure for kidney
diseases, the proprietor is willing to do all
that is possible to establish Warmers Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla as foremost among
household articles on account of its purity
and effectiveness.
After all, each individual has, at all
times, the great battle of life or death t.

Storm in TeIaS.

BoNHAM, Tex, May IA terrific wind
and hail storm passed over the northern
part of this county Monday night, cover
ing territory of about twenty-five square
miles. Every vestige of growing cotton and
corn was totally destroyed, entailing a
loss of thousands Of dollars. Many farmers
were in town yesterday buying seed for
planting. No lives are reported lost, but
the damage to crops, fences and fruit trees
exceeds that caused by any storm within
the past ten years. The storm came from
a northwest direction and was most severe
where it first struck the county, gradually
spreading out and losing strength as it
progressed.

LULY DATEs IN FRANCE.

Nor is it in America alone that July is the
memorable month, with June and August
good seconds. July is the month of revolu-
tionary memories in France also, as attested
by the noted Column of July" which is the
pride of patriotic Frenchmen. Among the
many momentous events of the month in the
different years of their revolution Q7S9-95),
the French have, by common consent, taken
the storming of the Bastile as the most mem
orable, and so its date is now celebrated by
Frenchmen everywhere as a sort Of indie
pendence daY-this is July IA.
The event was indeed momentous. For
the first time in French history the people
took arms against fortified stronghold of
despotism, and the army did not withstand
them Indeed, the soldiers sympathized with
the people Down to that time it was taken
as a matter of course in Europe that peas
ants rising against government could only
do harm in the country or against the I'M
armed. No one dreamed that a peasant on
foot would stand before cavalry soldier or
attack a fortress. The capture of the Bastile
was, therefore, as great marvel as if a mob
in America should attack and capture bri-
gade of the regular army. 1t was notice to
monarchs that the old regime was gone for
ever. AS such do the French now celebrate
it. F. G. De FoNTAINE

A WRESTLING MATCH.
orc Time Where the DarEy Showed Superiority.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: We were
standing around the company campfire one
cold morning, in the Blue grass region of Ken
lucky, during the late disturbance waiting for
our breakfasts to cook, when 4 tall soldier of
another company came to our fire and opened
Oh our darby cook somewhat in this style:

the reply.
Well, claim to be the best among the

Come cut here and take hold"
Go way wild your fooiin'; don't want no
truck wild white folks" was the reply.
By this time considerable crowd had col
lccted, not only from our company, but from sew
eral OF the adjoining ones and were beginning
TO take an eager interest in the conversation,
coaxing the darby to crafty the desire of the
long lauky, would-be champion wrestler. In
response TO their question as to why he wouldn.t
wrestle, he answered that he didn't like TO
wrcstle with 4 white man, because, If he threw
bin, he would get mad and pound him.
The boys assured him that they would pro-
tect him, and the big wrestler also declared
that he would harbor no malice So, spurred
on by our company, our little darby consented
70 try lall with his formidable antagonist.
They stripped for the fray by removing their
jackets and as they took their places inside the
wide ring formed by tho spectators, on the
carpet of green grass for which the State is so
famed, ] must confess / had very little expect

" Is you all ready?" said the darby.
% Yes, go ahead" says the big one, as he
braced his feet apart, evidently expecting a
powerful side jerk.
Well, den, look out for yousef"
With the words the little dsrky dropped on
his back, pulling his antagonist forward over
him, threw up his feet, caught the falling man
in the stomach, gave him hoist, and landed
him on his back on the hard sod with such
force that his desire for further wrestling was
entirely sgueehed.
