THE ALAMO MISSION.

How 1t WAS Defended by Handful OF
Heroic Texans.
1t is safe wager that nine out OF
every eleven boys who are proficient in
the use of bowie knife have not the
slightest idea where the instrument
got its name.
Col. Bowie of Texas fame gave the
knife it's title.
And when one writes Of the Texas
hero, one must needs think of the bat
tie of Alamo that heroic fight Of which
our American boys and girls seem to
think so little, and half of them know
nothing whatever.
They read how the brave soldiers
fought and held the pass of Thermopy-
lac, but they seldom think Of how a
mere handful Of men defeated the
Alamo mission. How they dropped
fighting on their knees and then died
facing the foe.
# you should go to the historical city
of San Antonio in Texas you will see
the old mission building standing with
battered, bullet-pierced walls, monu-
ment to the 172 heroes of 80. Behind

Once. In my happy childhood days,
A mother kind knew,
Who gave her boy the rerest praise;
She called him Brave and True"
He was my chosen mate at play.

His pure, high brow, that evry day
Shone with some added grace.
He was so quiet, fair and mild,
/ Yet had so brave an OR,
The neighbors grew to lovo the child
And kissed his golden hair.
Boys, love the truth and follow it,"
Our teacher often said,
AS Willie does; your lives twill ut
For station just ahead.
And ever dare to do the right,
Be patient, earnest, true;
These are tho notices, wreathed In light,
That Willie keeps In view
- And this is why all love him SO.
It wins his mothers kiss;
It shows his young feet where to so,
And fills his heart with bliss"

But have kept in view,
