One morning. as he rodo into town. Henry

Mabel Hicks Brown, discussing ways and

advertisement. ITS the very thing, mamma,

Off -
"There there's no usc saying a word,
mamma We can't be choosers any more"
And so it was settled.
At o'clock that afternoon, Mabel Hicks
Brown rang tho door of the house in Grove
street, indicated in the advertisement, and was
admitted by trim maid. who seemed to know
her errand. and ushered her into pretty
drawing-r0om on the right.
Somehow the room had q familiar look. At
least, there were things in it that seemed fami-
liar. That picture in the dark corner-she must
have seen it before. She rose to look at it, and,
as she did so. some one came burriedly into the
room. Turning. she stood face to face with
Henry Hicks Brown.
For full half.minute they stood staring at
each other, stunned. Then Mabel, weak from
the strain of the weeks and months just passed,
gave shuddering sob and sank to the floor
Ten minutes later she found herself upon
the divan in the corner, with pair OF strong
arms about her and very dear face close to
her own. while deep, tremulous voice whis-

EARLY DAYS IN TEXAS.
Brit Baiiey's Ecoentricities and the Battl

Brit Bailey's Eccentricittes and the battle
of yelasco.
The veteran, B. F. Highsmith, called on me
the other day, writes correspondent from
Utopia, Tex, to the Galveston Nears. He likes
to talk about old times. He has good mem
ory and is perfect walking encyclopedia of
information.
- Among other things he told me Of an eccentric
character he knew in early times named Brit
Bailey, who came from Tennessee to Texas in
1880. While en- route to Texas in company
with several others, he requested each man to
tell what be was coming to Texas for. When
all were through it came his turn, and he said:
"I am going to Texas to establish character.
have not got any at home, and | am going to
try to establish one in Texas"
He settled at Bailsy's Prairie, and soon after
trouble commenced with the Mexicans and he
participated in the battle OF Velasco. He car
ried home with him q cannon-ball as relic of
the fight.
When he came to die he requested to be
buried standing up six feet under the earth,
which would require grave of more than IL
feet in depth, as he was six feet two inches in
hight. He also requested to be buried with
him his rife, 100 rounds of ammunition,
butcher knife, two plugs of tobacco, one bottle
of whisky, his dog, and the cannon n-ban from
Velasco All of this was done with the excep-
tion of the dog. He died at home in 1888 on
Bailey's Prairie, Brazoris County, and was
buried on Oyster Creek. He was liked and
respected by all who knew him.
Among other incidents of the fight at Velasco,
he said, one man ran ut the first fire from the
Mexicaus, but soon stopped, but bolted again
when the cannons fired. After the fight the boys
asked him why he ran, as they thought he wasa
brave man. He said: Gentlemen, have got
as brave heart in me as any man that ever
lived, but the most cowardly set OF legs that
was ever attached to q human being. When
the fight first commenced my legs started off
and / began to argue with them, and finally
persuaded them to carry me back into the fight,
and they actually turned me around to go
back, but at that critical moment the cannons
fred. and away went my dogged cowardly legs
again, and all of my persuasion and coaxing
could not bring them back again."
Uncle Ben" is anxious to know If there is
any one now living besides himself who took
part in the battle of Yelasco. He belonged to
the company of Capt. Elliott c. Buckner, who
was killed in the fight.

Drummer Calls Inopportunely on New
Made President.
[Chicago Maiil
"I do not object to moderate amount of
that quality which is sometimes called
cheek" remarked local politician, but it
must be exercised in. perfectly harmless chan
nels, of course. I recall one case which fur
on the day of the Inauguration of President
Hayes Washington was crowded to suffoca-
tion, and all business not directly connected
with the inaugural ceremonies was suspended.
A Chicago drummer, who arrived too late to
secure a position where he could catch glimpse
of the President. was In dire distress because
he missed what he called the opportunity of
lifetime to SEQ President made
"He wanted to know whether it would still
be possible for him to see the new Chief Ex-
ecutive. told him that did not believe that
President Hayes would receive him before the
usual public reception. But the drummer had
to catch a train in q, halfheur, and remarked.
By the great horn spoon, Pm going to see the
President, and see him right away, too.'
"Then be sent in bis card. The answer
came back promptly that the President was
not receiving. Take back my card and say
that want to see Mr.. Hayes on a matter of
the utmost Importance insisted the Chicagoan.
"a moment later the messenger returned
with a request that the caller would briefly
state the nature OF his business.
al can't do that, said the drummer. Tell
him that 1t is matter of vital importance to
himself
"Within two minutes from the time this bonn
bardment began the besieger stood face to face
with President Hayes.
Mr.. President he began, i do not desire
to claim your attention longer than one minute
/ came down here from Chicago to witness the
Inauguration. I've seen the show and have
looked the Capitol and the White House over
pretty carefully, and couldn't go back without
saying to you that you've struck a regular
snap here. If you get along pretty we'll here
and do your work in an acceptable manner
80 far as l am concerned you may count On
holding your job
President Hayes seemed dazed for mo-
ment Then he burst into laugh, grasped the
callers hand, shook it heartily and inquired
about the visitors name and address.
1.-THE drummer still resides in Chicago, and
among the treasures which he has picked up in
his journeys throughout the country is brief
note which he received toward the close of the
Hayes Administration. 1t is substantially as
follows:

change your political position since our last

ELEPHANT PLAYING BALL
Amusing Sagacity Shown by Animal In
Central Park.
Nera York Tribunal

One of the animals in Central Park the other
day afforded little knot Of sightseers consid-
erablo amusement by = display of skill as a
ball-player which was highly interesting. He
did not go 80 far as to give an exhibition Of the
National game of these United States but he
showed decided familiarity with the nature
of ball and what can be done with it. A
nursemaid had brought dear little Lord Faun-
tleroy of eight years, elaborately dressed aud
curled, to see the animals. He no doubt was
mammals only darling, for, instead OF wanting
to twist the elephants tail or check his trunk
as most boys of his age wound, he was afraid to
approach within speaking distance of the great
brutes.
The boy had ball of red and d-white popcorn
in bis hand, one Of those compact, light, aud
glutinous masses which delight the childish
heart, for some reason, much more than popcorn
in any other shape, and this he mustered up
courage to throw to one of the elephants with
a weak aud erring aim like girls. The ball
rolled just beyond the reach of the elephants
trunk and his efforts to grasp the prize were
amusing. One hind and one foreleg were Sc
curely chained to staples in the wall and he
could not move beyond limited range. He
liked popcorn, and was accustomed to have it
fed to him in small pellets. Here was whole
ball of the sweet and tootbsome stnf just where
he could smell its fine aroma thoroughly but
could not reach it.
He strained at the chains till it seemed as III
the staples must come out of the walls of his
stout wooden box-stall, and he stretched his
trunk to the fullest extent of its India rubber
powers, but still the ball lay few inches be-
yond its watering tip He looked appealingly
to the crowd for aid, but there was none to
help him. He tried to kneel down and roll
toward it, but the chains held him awk-
wardly that the plan would not work. He got
up in disgust and proceeded to study the situa-
tion. His brains were working; you could see
that from the way he wagged his head from
side to side, and kept his little red eyes ever
On the corn.
Suddenly an idea struck him. Extending
his trunk along the floor, as near to the ball as
possible. he flied his mighty lungs full of air
and sent il out of his long blowpipe with a
shrill shrek in one gigantic puff Tho wind
struck the light popcorn ball like little
cyclone and dashed it against the wooden side
of the stall with such force that it instantly re-
bounded and rolled within reach of the old
rogue, who skillfully caught it, tucked it far
back into his queer, red flannel mouth, and
seemed to wink his eye sagely at the applaud
ing audience.

Two Faithful Dogs.

A strange but true snake story comes from
Sierra Madre little girl whose mother re-
sides at that place saw large snake while

with its appearance, she followed it through
the grass. trying to get hold of it, Two faith
full dogs belonging to the family saw the snake
Also and. running after it, got ahead of the lit
tie girl iu the chase and pouuced upon the ami
mall An alarmed rattle, two quick strokes
and the dogs ran yelping back, while the little
tot, who had witnessed the encounter, concluded
that the gliding serpent was not as pretty as it
had first appeared When the mother, who
happened to be absent, returned homo that
evening and found two dead dogs in her door
yard and her little daughter fast and safely
asleep in bed, it may be taken for granted that

Amos Lane is at work on an invention which
cannot fail to be one of the attractions of the
town when completed. 1t consists of large
clock, the figures of which can be seen from
the hotel, the motive power for which will be
the ever. boiling geyser. The clock will be
erected in some spot whore it will be promi-
nent. The geyser bubbles and rises every 80
seconds. as regular as clockwork would re-
quire and every time it does so it will raise o
lever that will move the clock exactly 80 Sec

feet time, besides being the only one of the
kind in tho world, we will venture to say.

hunS0S CHy 1tmeS
During the recent high water, when the
flooding of the bottom lands along the Mis-
souri, was the topic of conversation with every
one, party of gentlemen were seated around a
comfortable fire in an Independence office tell
ing stories of flood and fish. One, noted
jurist told this which he claims Is Gospel
fact":
1t was during the food of 1881, when 80
much Of the bottom lands were "out Of sight,"
and lean-and-lank Kansan, the sole proprie.
tor of an s0-acre plat, stood on q mound sur.
veying tho great lake covering his real-estat
possessions, and, disgusted, swore to sell, trade
or give away every rod of that "dod blasted
bottom"
The opportunity soon came. Passing along
the highway this Kansan met another leading
calf 1t was not mpei, of a calf but still the
Kansan, who must have been a Yankee smeIt
a trade. To the owner ofthelcalf he advanced
and the following dialogI took place:
stranger, want eEstraae2',
"Wall, might. Whstyer got?"
"Wel I'll give vera clean deed to 40 acres
of Kaw bottom land fer that ar calf"
"Tll take yer up.''g
The papers were drawnfup and the calf was
delivered, and soon aftnrsihe Kansan told the
story to friend with this remark: "When
