ted as 'pirates," and this. was his
justification later for the heartless mas
sacre at Alamo. In February, portion
Of his army reached AlaZan Creek, a
little west of the city of San Antonio,
where Colonel Travis, with $50 effective
men, was stationed. The latter retired
to Fort Alamo, on the east side of the
river, and the struggle began that has
given to history one of its bloodiest
pagas.
Fort Alamo consisted of chapel 75X
SO feet, a convent 186x1S feet, prison
and plaza, and had a strongly built
stockade and walls of heavy masonry
four feet thick. The different Enclosures
embraced some five acres of ground, with
accommodations for 1000 men. The
outer walls were eight feet high, and,
though built we'll to repel Indians, they
were not able to resist effective bonn
bardment. The fort had eight heavy
guns for it's armament, and over the
chuch floated the flag of the Provisional
government of Texas, the Mexican tri-
color with the numerals 1924 in place of
the eagle in the white stripe.
The siege began Feb. % TeaTis, the
officer in charge, had secured eighty
bushels of corn and thirty beeves for
provisions. At noon of that day Santa
Anna sent a summons to the Texans to
surrender, which was answered by a
cannon shot. The next day the fort was

Typographical B1unders.

Sir Arthur Helps was, I think,
oversensitive to adverse criticism, OF
which he had perhaps not enough to
allow him to grow callous to it, and the
least misprints in his own books or
articles annoyed him exceedingly.
There was a passage from his "Organ-
ization in Daily Life, in which, speak
ing of vultures gathering to their prey,
he had used the Virgilian phrase cob
scene BIRDS" which had been printed
"obscure birds" The mistake was not
noticed by any of several persons who
read the proofs in succession, and re-
member that his gratitude was quite
effusive when his attention was called
to the word just as the book was being
sent to press.
After all, the blunder was not Sc
rious one, and was nothing like that
of the lady traveller who wrote that the
whole wilderness was filed with er-
ratio blocks" and who, failing to revise
her proofs. found that the printers had
taken on themselves to correct her ge-
illogical expression. and that she was
made to assert that the whole wilder
ness was filed with erotic blacks. =

representation as a separate state they
were still held under the sway of Goa
hula. Under these circumstances the
hardy pioneers began to discuss consti-
tutional rights, and they saw with alarm
that the government was stamping out
republicanism in other provinces, and
knew that it would only be question of
time when Santa Anna, who falsely pro-
fessed peaceable intentions. would in
wade their territory with rigorous laws
and deSpOtic officers.

Where Bachelors Are Not Tolerated.

There is a prejudice in the rural dis
tricts of this State against bachelors.
People in every outlying settlement
are opposed to bachelors taking up
claims in their vicinity. An exchange
says: "There are some splendid claims
on Deadwood creek not yet taken as
good as any on the coast. The citizens
want men with families to settle on
them.
"Three of these claims were taken by
bachelors last fall. The ladies of
Deadwood passed resolution placing
a three-years' limit on celibacy in that
district, and providing all bachelors
not married at the end of that time be
run out of the settlement or hung. :"
That fixed things. Five bachelors
moved out, one got married, and two
have gone into the sparkling business.

Mexico secured indisputable title to it's
broad margins. It's fertile acres early
attracted immigrants, and scores of hardy
pioneers penetrated its borders from the
United States, being apparently well

had taken refuge. The Mexicans then
attempted to cut off the garrison from

Hon. j. NJ. Greene's Resolution.
The following resolution was intro
duced in the senate by Senator Greene Of
this county:
Whereas, exaggerated and false reports
have been spread throughout the country
regarding the condition Of the people in
various parts Of South Dakota; and where
as these reports are calculated to work
serious injuly to the interest and reputa.
ton Of the state. Therefore, resolved:
that the Senate and House of representa-
tives Of South Dakota in Legislature as
sembeled, hereby declare that statements
made as to the starvation or extreme des-
titution and suffering Of large numbers
Of people in any Of the counties Of the
state are without warrant in fact; that
the only authorized appeal for aid is that
made by the governor of the state and
representatives Of the Senate and Of the
House who have been made a commission
to secure q supply of seed wheat, that all
other appeals are deprecated as fraudu-
lent and unnecessary and are supported
by stories that will not bear investiga-
ton; that the people Of South Dakota are
able to take a r Of such immediate des-
titution as has arisen from crop failures;
and that the people Of the country at
large are hereby warned against credit
ing these false reports or contributing ia
relief funds started by irresponsible and
unauthorized parties. The resources Of
South Dakota are ample, her credit is un.
impaired and these stories, whether ma.
%licious, scheming or ignorant in intent
are unfounded and untrue.

Iowa Index:-The poor boy Of to-day
will be the rich man of the future. but
the boys who will be rich and inflluen-
tial are not those who wait to get a job,
but rather those who will take any job
they can get, provided it is honorable
and save their money after they have
earned it. The boy who thinks more Of
having a good time than Of attending to
his business, whatever that business may
be, will never accumulate wealth, unless
he changes his ways. The boy who de-
clines a job because the work is hard and
the wages meager will never become q
rich man. Many Of the boys who read
this will not believe it, but In after years
they will look back over the mistakes
they have made, and acknowledge that If
they had but lived up to a few simple
rules here suggested their bank accounts
would have been larger, and their good
times come when most needed.
