Tho Russian Code of Honor.

Two young Russian officers attached
to the Ors1 infantry regiment recently
quarreled over their cups in cafe
chantant at Orenburg, and one of them
struck the other across the cheek with
his open hand. The subalterns were
intimate comrades, and the aggressor
made an ample and satisfactory apol-
ogy when he came to his senses. Thii
was cordially accepted by his friend;
but the regimental court of honor de-
creed that the officers should fight, and
a duel was arranged with pistols at %
PAGES. The young lieutenant who had
received the affront and forgiven his
friend was hit in the thigh and crippled,
and consequently is untitled for further
service. The tragi-ccmical proceed
ings of these military courts of honor
are as stupid as they are mischievous.

brought to Texas in 1921 by James
Whitesides and his wife, Betty, one Of
the three families to cross the Brazos,
the other two being Jared E. Grace and
John P. Cole. The Whitesides were the
first to locate San Felipe, the first capt.

head waitress in which was Mary. At
this tavern in 1881 Moses Austin Bryan
boarded, and was then a clerk in San
Felipe's first store. The waitress was
still there at the time of the battle of
San Jacinto, and there is no more fasci-

than her description of life and charac-

That Country Endesvoring to Secure Part

The Mexicans are taking advantage of
the scarcity of Florida oranges and are
shipping their supply of fruit to this
country. Last season 400 car loads
were shipped to the United States, but
this season fully 600 car loads will be
exported. Thomas L. Crittenden, Unit
ed States consul-general at the City
of Mexico, who furnished this informa-
ton to the state department, says that
old trees are being pruned, new or
chards planted and every preparation
made to compete for the American

Who Claims to Be as Old as the
Declaration of Independence
Her Unique Story.

In the county of Washington, Tex,
Hives Mary Marks, "the Spanish Carib, I"
who is 10 years old. A Globe-DemO-
crat correspondent recently visited the
old woman at the house of negro,
Lewis Perkins, where she lived. Mary
Marks is now unable to walk on account
of her extreme age, but she sat on the
side of the bed and talked cheerfully
of the past, Her mind was clear.
though her body is sustained only by
frequent draughts of whisky, a stimu.
liant that only the necessities of age
have induced her to touch.
Mary is native of Hispaniola, Of the
West Indian group, and was born about
the year 1776. She, with others OF her
race, was stolen with the slave traders
to be sold in the southern states when
Mary was an infant. She retains even
now vague recollections of many sea
voyages, the flap of sails, the creak of
cordage, the wash of the waves, the cru
city of the vessels captain, Thomas
Parker, dashing fellow, that Mary
still remembers with a mixed feeling
OF terror and admiration. The cap
tain, she says, took a great fancy to
the bright infant, who was nearly
white, and who possessed SO many
charming ways, and so she, the pet Of
the cabin, stayed with the vessel on
many of its voyages and raids for slaves
until she was six years old, when the
master died at Baltimore while I'M
loading a cargo, and Mary with the
rest was sold into slavery.
The girl passed through the hands of
different masters and mistresses, until

surveyor; sam Houston, Henry Smith,
the first governor; "Three-legged Will
lie" or, as he was less Familiarity known,
+. NJ. Williamson, and many others.
The attentive waitress, Mary Marks,
was thoroughly alive to the greatness
of her guests, and repeats with the
keenest appreciation many of their say
ings. 1t was at this tavern in 1896 that
John Marks, negro Methodist preach
er, came and married Mary, then 60
years of age. John Marks was full
blooded African, tall and very black,
with long arms and a mouth almost
from ear to ear. He had little educa-
ton, but he preached with power, and
the white people fiocked to hear him,
in the words of his relict, like birds"
After his marriage he made and saved
enough money to purchase his wife's
freedom. Several years later, after
Texas had won ner independence, the
Marks moved TO Coles settlement, now
Independence, where Judge John p.
Cole presented them with small tract
of land of ten acres, to revert to the Cole
heirs at the death OF the survivor, where
they took up their residence and lived
until 1850. John Marks died at good
old age. Soon after this Mary, from
her infrmities untitled TO take care of
herself, was cared for by different
neighbors, and both white and black
contributed to her support. The old
woman also draws a pension of $50 a
year from the A. NJ. Z. of Independence,
of which her husband was pastor.

An X Ray Photograph by Lightning.

The recent Y rays discoveries have
brought back to the people of Wake
lee, Cass county, circumstance which
at the time was considered supernat-
ural. Nearly score of years ago a
farmhouse was struck by lightning,
says the Battle Creek (Mich.) Moon. In
an upper front room was blank white
wall opposite two windows that faced
the road. The first visitors to the
scene were astonished to find on the
blank wall an active picture of the
outside front of the house, just as it
appeared from the road. The picture
was perfect and distinct as a mega
tive. After nine days it gradually dis
appeared from the wall, without even
being copied.

Excellent Entertainment Given Last

Excellent Entertainment Given Last
Night at 81. Thomas College Hall.
A large and fashionable audience at
tended the concert at St. Thomas COL
lege hall last night given under the
auspices of the Women's Kelley league.
The programme was one that ap-
pealed to educated tastes and the man
ner In which 1t was received proved
that in arranging 1t the management
rightly anticipated the calibre Of the
audience. Every number was warmly
applauded and encOres were the rule
of the evening. The participants were
Miss Mary Dickson, violinist; Profess
sor T. r. kopff, violinist; Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Alfred Pennington, pianists; A. J.
ColbOrn, reader, and the Elm Park
Church quartette, composed Of Miss
Winifred Sullivan, soprano; Miss Elsie
Van Dervoort. contralto; Alfred Wool
er. tenor, and Richard Thomas, basso.
The quartette was on the programme
for three numbers, but the audience did
not seem to be satisfied even with twice
that many. An encore followed every
rendition, and even after the encore the
singers were compelled to return to bow
their acknowledgements. Each of the
quartette also rendered solo and indi-
vidually they Were accorded the same
ovation which their collective work
won.
Miss Dickson and Mr.. Kopff delight
ed everyone with their finished execu-
ton, as did also Mr.. and Mrs. Penning-
ton, who gave piano duett. A. j. Col
born in two readings, and as many en-
cores. showed himself to be quite as
able in elocution as he is in oratory.
A handsome sum was realized for the
noble work in which the Women's Kee.
ley league Is engaged, and the success
with which this first effort met will no
doubt prompt the league to give many
more such delightful entertainments.
