Sam Houston represented the iron hand of
war, so Stephen Fuller Austin, although at
the time only on the threshold of manhood,
was the patriarchal founder of nation.
When Moses Austin, the original protector
of the Anglo-American colony in Mexican
territory, died in 1921, his son Stephen, who
was still in the twenties, threw his whole
heart into the plan. Obstacles met him at
every turn.
Moses Austin had secured grant of land
from the Mexican government based upon
the introduction into the territory assigned
in the grant of 800 Anglo-American fami-
lies as permanent settlers. They were to
become citizens of Mexico and fellow citi-
Zens with Indians, creoles, negroes and
Spanish MeXicans, and also share the soil
with wild beasts and savages-not an al
Turing prospect surely for families of wom-
en- and children-and in order to surmount
that difficulty young Austin hit upon a
clever expedient. Austin was a trained
lawyer and had won his spurs at the bar.
He recruited few genuine families and
made up the quota by inducing several
hundred young men to pair off as families
and settle upon claims.
In December 1921, the conditions of the
grant had been met, the colonists were on
the ground, and Austin was with them
roughing it in pioneer fashion and win
ming the hearts of his followers. He soon
needed their confidence and devotion and
they his wisdom and frmness He cult
waited acquaintance with the leading Mexi-
can spirits of the state of Coahuila, Of
which the colony formed part He also
spent year in the City of Mexico study
ing the language, character and political
feelings of the people. On his return he
found his colonists increased, the settle
ments extended and a thriving community
at work redeeming the wilderness. That
community he ruled practically for more
than a decade Under his leadership the
hostile Indians were kept at bay and va
grant, lawless depredators suppressed.
Peace was not violently disturbed until
1881, when the Mexican commander in the
state arrested William B. Travis, Patrick
c. Jack and one other for chastising a ma
rauding Mexican soldier. The Anglo
American colonists forcibly released the
prisoners They also met in convention
and prepared a memorial to the congress of
Mexican states and a constitution for Texas
as a separate state in the Mexican confed-
Grafton. Austin went alone to the City Of
Mexico to present the memorial and was
cast into prison by Santa Anna and the
Texan memorial treated with contempt
He was held nearly two years, and on his
return III 1850 he called upon tne IexanS TO
organize and to act for their own protection.
In private he said to Texan patriots: mo
half way measures now; no more doubts;
no more submission. 1 hope to see Texas
forever free from Mexican domination.
A committee of safety was organized I'M
der Austin's inspiration and a campaign
begun with the ostensible object of fight
ing for a separate state in the Mexican con-
federation. Santa Anna had overthrown
the Mexican republic and made himself
dictator. Austin was appointed command

The Prisoner.
mans skull is his lifelong jail.
Behind Its prison bars
From its eye windows does the soul
Peep at the earth and stars.
But unlike jails of wood or stone
Its prisoner ever dwells alone.
Though through its front doors perfumed
gales
Are blown from glens of gladness,
And through its back doors music strains
Roll in in waves of madness,
And though he hear and heed each tone,
The prisoner still must dwell alone.
Though past the windows of the jail
Sweep scenes Of solemn splendor,
And through the doors float hymns of joy
Or dirges deep and tender,
The prisoner hears the mirth and moan,
But in his jail he dwells alone.
No lover ever knows the soul
He loves In all its sweetness;
The fullest love, however strong,
Is marred by incompleteness;
No heart is ever fully known
The prisoner ever dwells alone.

Common Things.

Give me, dear Lord, thy magic common things,
Which all can see, which all may share
Sunlight and dewdrops, grass and stars and
sea
Nothing unique or new and nothing rare.
Just daisies, knapweed, wind among the thorns;
Some clouds to cross the blue old sky above;
Rain, winter fires, useful hand, q heart,
The common glory Of a woman's love.
Then, when my feet no longer tread old paths
Keep them from fouling sweet things any
where
Write one old epitaph in grace-lit words,
such things look fairer that he sojourned
here"

There L. No Failure.

All things fulfill their purpose, low or high
There is no failure. Death can never mar
The least or greatest Of the things that are.
Until our work is done we cannot die.
When 1t is done, 1t matters not how nigh
May be the nighttime that is never far,
That long ere sunset lights the evening star
Throws its still shadow up into the sky.
Today shall end what yesterday begun;
What we are planning others yet may build;
The leaves may wither but the tree shall grow
And though at last we leave our work undone
Our life will not the less be all fulfilled;
Our work will all be even finished SO.

Against your sordid Dives of the towns,
That let your herders burn and your dull

Hew the Sierra's grandest forestry.
Of the mountains loudly cry you shame.
Is there not gold enough In your hard grip,
But you with sacrilegious hands must strip
These temples old, where God first set his
namep
Before your hirelings rise the pillared pines
In majesty OF sweryeless rectitude,
Like sages old and tried that brood
On wisdom, past the unrest of the times.
Less lofty, but with more of grace, the frs
Spread forth their velvet branches tipped

And wind kissed aspens CULVER, glad, despite
The frowns Of gnarled and wrinkled jumpers.
Behind-one dreary waste from ak and flannel
The clown hands strike, but you. you guide
the blow.
What care you that a barren, ashy woe
Leaves hill and vale in gaunt and naked shame;
That frightened deer fly painting from the

That burned are nests where songsters
chirped and cooed2
You care not. What is lost2 A little wood

Well, once the whole year here the waters

Are nourished at the wilderness you burn.

ANOTHER GOLD SAVER.

w. A. Doyce, the well-known lumber
dealer OF Pocatello, has completed
machine that he thinks will raise him
u fortune out OF the sands Of the Snake
river. The st. Anthony News gives
the following account OF his trap TO
catch the gold
wv. A. Boyce has made ten strike
ON a machine that will save all the
gold Of the Snake river that passes
through it. In our opinion il is more OF
gold trap than machine. The
tests SO far made show il TO be perfect
in its mode of saving gold. We will
outline its features as We have been
able to learn them:
when the machine is in motion
dirt is started through its main sluicss
/ by a slow current. The gravel IL
shifted OIL by strong current. and ths
savings OF the dirt are silted through
three screens onto copper plates. pre-
| venting rush OF water, aud allowing
the gold contained i'll the sediments oi
the water time 10 settle on the plates
The plates are also arranged so a.
to be changed at any place while the
machine is still in motion. OF cours,
the flow OF water will govern the ma
chine. They can be built on a small
or large scale. The size Of the ma
chine is regulated by the quantity o
water, and cost FROM $3.50 10 $1,000
With a sufficient flow OF water, judg
ing from the test made, the machines
will work from 100 To 1909 yards o
dirt per day. II ia an improvement
on the Taylor machine as it rocks ia,
dirt just like a rocker aud also has set
} tiers attached.
"Mr. Boyce Is the inventor and hsl
been working on the machine for the
past five years. He has applied for .
patent, and will begin 10 put up sew
eral more machines At once"

BLACK SAND AND GOLD.

A. J. Hopper OF California has Sc
cured patent for new process OF e.
tracing gold from black sand, and the
somewhat ihreadbare statement Is
made ia connection with the inven-
ton that the problem OF working black
sand profitably has at last been found.
The process is thus described in the
s. +. Call;
Briefly told, his method OF extract
inv gold from black sand has not been
10 destroy the iron, magnesium, ETC.,
but merely 10 set the gold free and
otherwise leave the sand intact. The
plants consists OF cylinder ~ inches
long and 90 inches in diameter, with
n manhole in the side. The sand is
nut in at the manhoie and the water
is added, combined in manner which
is the secret OF the method. The cyl
inder il put in motion and simultane-
ously an electric current OF 80 ampers
and volts is turned into the cylinder
contents, much as an electrollshine
bath. After 30 minutes revolution
the manhole is opened, the sand il
dumped into hopper and asses on
TO n concentrator and amalgamator
The gold unites with the quicksilver
OF the amalgamator and is then scraped
off and retorted, the sand having beer
washed away by the stream OF water
which passes over the inclined and
gently shaking amalgamator. The
theory is that the chemicals and cleo
trio current act on the gold alone.
The inventor has spent some year
Of study and experiment and SlO,Oo'
in cash on his process. II has nov
been in operation three months, it !
eaid, and it handles, with two men
ten tons OF sand day, at cost OF y
per ton, and profit OF So to $40 pc
ton. Incidentally, cheap method o
extracting ore from sulphurets ba
been found.
1t is to be regretted that the inven
tor deems il in conflict with his finar
cial interest TO disclose to the genera
public the secret OF his wonderfu
chemical compound. There are inca
culable quantities OF black sand b
tween San Diego and Alaska, all {
which the inventor can hardly hope |
cover himself and which might b
worked protitably by others withou
disadvantage to him.
