SAM HousTon.s HOSPITALITY
The Foremost and Proudest Man In the

The Foremost and Proudest Man In the
State OF Texas
It was said in Jest that Sam Hous-
tons signature was written SO as to-
read, ssI am Houston. Doubtless the
Hero of San Jaeinto" had a profound
sense Of his own importance and tried
TO impress others with his superiority
When he wished to be particularly inn
pressive, he would speak of himself IN
the third person, as Houston says,
"Houston will not, or Houston
thinks. !. But he was a man OF warm
affections and had smile which chill
dren loved He was generous. His
money was at the call OF all needing
aid and he never forgot favor or
friend. Once meeting ragged soldier
who had served at San Jaeinto he gave
him his own coat and walked in his
shirt sleeves. Mr.. A. NJ. Williams, his
latest biographer, tells this anecdote
of Houston's gratitude:
Having served in the Creek campaign
under Andrew Jackson, wherein he
was severely wounded, Houston left
the army and studied law. After
pupilage of six months he was adj
mitted to practice in the courts of Ten-
nessee. He then settled in lebanon, 8
thriving town Of the state, hired an
office at one dollar a month, and bought
on credit as many law books as his sad
dle-b bags would hold.
Isaac Golladay, the postmaster OF the
town and q merchant. let him have q
suit of clothes on cEedit and also his
letters on the same terms--no mean
favor when the postage on letter was
often twenty-five cents.
One Sunday morning, thirty-fiva
years after this creditable act Of the
Lebanon merchant, his son was taken
sick at a hotel in Huntsville, Tex.
Learning from the landlord that Gen.
Houston lived near the town and had
just passed by with his family on his
way TO church the young man said to
the landl ord:
Please keep on the lookout and
when he returns from church let him
know that a son of Isaac Golladay, OF
Tennessee, is lying sick here.
About i O'clock a large, portly man
walked into the sick mans room.
IT You are the son Of Isaac Golla-
day. said Gen. Houston. 'you are the
child Of my old and true friend, You
must go to my house. will come il
my carriage for you.n
The young man was i'll ait Houston's
house for two weeks and as Mrs. Hons-
bon, being confined to her room at that
time with an infant, was unable to at
tend him, the general made q servant
wait on him and often came himself to
see him. One night the guest was very
sick and the doctor ordered that the
medicine should be given every hour
and his feet bathed with hot water.
Gen. Houston was the night nurse
"a vessel Of hot water was brought III
| by servant. The general pulled off
his coat and rolled up. his shirt sleeves

All three of Hendricks companions
expressed strong curiosity to hear

said Hendricks. 1T gives us gun of

At that momerlt t e. little bell tinkIed

room and the men all looked up at 1t.
Itawas an electrical warning from
above. Hendricks got up and went to
the telephone close at hand and list
ened.. Presently he began to repeat d
communication:
-Four deputy sheriffs and a United
States marshal in possession of the
house; forced an entrance through the
gate armed with warrant for the ar
rest of Hendricks and Fenning.
Pellissier Lit a fresh cigarette.
Where is Miss Iaport?n Hendricks
asked in the phone.
Somewhere on the grounds
Where is Miss Endicott9a
'tIn her room. .
Keep your eye on her and let me
know If they attempt to take you.
Wait a moment.
Hendricks turned to the men at the
table. 81 wish Miss Endicott were be-
low he said.
Pellissier got up and stretched hi1n-
self, saying: You are right.
1t was an hour later when fresh word
came from the doctor, who had gone
above.
"These fellows are going to be
troublesome, he said; 'sfor they have
come to stay. The chief is Marshal
Calicot, and / believe he knows more

FLANNEL PETTICOATS.
A Necessary Adjunct to the Winter Ware
robe.

A Necessary Adjunct to the Winter Ward-
robe.
A flannel petticoat is certainly a
mundane thing, and yet even flannel
spetticoats have fashion of their own.
Time was when hand embroidery on
flannel must be had, and elaborate
work put on even coarse material Now
embroidered flannel is generally rele-
gated to children's wear and only
tiny, fancy edge is used to finish tho
srnfffes, which are invariably trimmed
with lace Physicians and would-be
critics may inveigh perhaps against
small hips and waist, but there is yet
to be found the woman who would not
endeavor to look as small as possible,
particularly as she grows older, SO that
the greatest attention is paid to every
undergarment not only that II should
be tasteful and costly, but also that It
should be made to enhance or dinguise
the figure Yokes are necessities In
petticoats. Flannel petticoats should
not reach below the knees, and should
be carefully cut. A good patterJ, Is to
have q wide back breadth, cut across,
and d full piece joined thereto. The
side pieces. of course, must be gored.
Lace insertion one or two rows alone
-one or more narrow founees edged
with lace, always looks well.
Light blue and light pink arc the
fayorite colors, although some women
prefer white Last winter there were
some stunning skirts from Worth,
which were of flannel They were de-
liciously warm, very light, and looked
like the Roman sashes which used to
be SO fashionable, These elaborate.
netticoats do not stand laundering
well, and require to be sent to the
cleaners
There are black flannel pettfcoats.
| and as some women always wear black
underwear in travelling, these black
nettieoats are used for that purpose.
They are certainly pretty. for they are
well cut and made, and have ruffies OF
black instead of white lace, headed
with broad black satin ribbon, feather
stitched on either side. The seams also
are feather-stitched and, OF course, the
great advantage is that the necessary
| dust Of travelling does not at once de-
strov the freshness Of the garment.

turned up, blinking and growing, but
sober. The fourth man of the party
was Tennesseean, whom Hendricks
called Ben-a long, lank, determined
mountaineer, with hatchet face and
tangled sand-colored hair. He had a
carbine s1ung across his shoulder, and
he was holding an extra horse with a
side-sadd1e and q basket strapped up
on 1t.
Hendricks looked at Fenning, and
seeing his surprise, said: - don't
explain because I don't know myself.

The Lost Mine.

Away back in pioneer days of South
Indians who lived here at that time,
had a cave, in which there was fab
ulous amount of silver, and when they
were in need OF the white metal, y
they would go 10 this cave and break
off huge chunks with their tomahawks.
1t was reported that once upon time
James McCauiey became very dillgent
in his search for this cave, and that
one day in spirit of bravado the In
dians took him to 4 spring. and blind
folded him, led him into the cave and
removed the covering from his eyes.
He was dazzled at the glittering mass
of silver hicn jutted out in the cave
so that it could be broken of with a
club. After showing him this wonder
full cave, they again bliudfolded him
and took him back TO the spring. He
searched in vain for the opening. and
years went by spent in fruitless search
for this Aladdin's wealth, until Mr.
McCaulcy died, and finally the tale
died down and was forgotten. Now
at this late day the old story of hidden
wealth has been revived and the dis
covery of hidden cave, the mouth OF
which had been hidden by a large fiat
rock, lead its discoveries to believe
that they have discovered this wonder
full cave. A few weeks ago George
rock on or near the old Aliens land
ing road, and close to the old McCau-
trouble this rock, which was about
seven inches thick, was broken
through, and the pieces fell into cave
some seventy feet deep The rubbish
and dirt was cleaned out, and finally
another huge rock was discovered. and
this is supposed to cover another hole
as blows upon it gives forth hollow
sound. There is reported to have
been found a nugget of pure silver
weighing at least two pounds, in the
first hole, and much reticence is being
observed regarding this huge hole in
the ground. We have heard no report
regarding this matter in the last few
