ANOTHER ALAMO.

and in the cause of freedom. On
the unhappy soil of Cuba fifteen
brave fellows have poured out their
life blood, libation on the affairs of
liberty. Hopeless of succor, they
unf1inchingly faced a myriad foe,
and one by one fell at the post of
duty. Called upon to surrender,
they sent back the grim reply, "We
remember Maceo,' and prepared to
die as brave men die. One by one
they fell, yet there were no trembl-
ing hands, no dimmed eyes, no quak
ing hearts in that little heroic band.
At last but two remained. Wound
ed, bleeding, parched with thirst,
their indomnltable spirits exulted in
death, and with the cry "VIve Cuba
Llbre,'' they fell beneath the hacking
knives of the accursed Spanish SOL
diery.
The world over, heroic deeds send
the blood tingling Though artery
and vein, and mingling with sorrow
for the untimely death Of those brave
fellows who fell in the cause of hu-
man freedom, Is a thrill of pride
that Americans have not vet forgot
ten how to die. The pages of his
tory are emblazoned with heroic
deeds, and for centuries the story of
Leonidas and his immortal band has
furnished theme for historian, poet
orator and painter. That one field
where fell all but two has been
pointed to as the greatest of all bat
ties. It remained for Dayy Crockett
and his band of Texans to furnish,
at the Alamo, a second Thermopyla,
where Death held carnival, but Fear
entered not. The Spartans fell re-
sisting the Persians, and in the de-
fense of their liberty, their homes,
their country-theIr all. No greater
motive ever moved the hearts of
men. Yet, at the Alamo, the brave
Texans died ON the heaps of dead
that they had made, to free them
selves from the rule of the descend
ants of Spain. They, too, fought for
liberty for themselves, to acquire
freedom for their children, and to
shake off the yoke of the oppressor.
They, too, were moved by the pow
erful motives of self-intercst. It re-
manned for Texas to furnish the
third example, and the most striking
of the lot, for in this latter case no
selfish motives entered in. Their
homes were not invaded, their liber-
ties not TO be won. Moved only by
that sympathy which makes men al
most divine, they risked their lives
that others might be free, and at the
call of the oppressed gave all that
man can give-their llyes--for the
sacred cause. No more precious
gift was ever made at the shrine of
Liberty than the fifteen brave lives,
sacrificed so gloriously that Cuba
might be free.
1t may be that no monument of
stone shall mark the spot where these
menefell, for national gratitude is a
rare trait. but the pages of history
for all time to come will contain
their story, which shall stand side by
side with those of Thermopyle and
the Alamo.
Texas may well feel proud of her
sons, for of the three great examples
Of men fighting to the last, Texas
has furnished two, the balance of the
world, one

CHINESE LAUNDRY TICKETS.

The Chinese washermen have a Sys-
tenn of ticketing bundle of soileG
clothes based on the many gods and
goddesseS of the laundry. Though it
is complicated, the laundryman sell
dom delivers Il bundle of washed
clothes to the wrong person.
Furthermore, If the ticket is lost,
the chances are that you will not get
your linen, unless you are a particu-
lar friend of the proprietor. Instances
are ON record where an American has
gone to court to force the Chinese to
yield up the washing, but the judge
| was not convinced that the case of
the white man was a good one.
The Chinese laundryman at the be-
ginning of each week makes out q
batch of checks, in duplicate, to be
used as wash tickets. He selects the
name of Il god or goddess, or of some
object, as the sun, the moon. or the
| stars. To this name he pretiXeS IL
number, some as Moon, No. l." Moon,
No.2,n and so on.
In the space between the two le-
gends- for the signs are repeated
twice-he has his own name, as, for
instance, "Wah Lee
When a customer takes bundle to
washing to laundry, the Chinese,
first tearing ticket in two IL ragged
fashion, puts one-half Old the packet
for reference; the other half he gives
as receipt to the person who has
brought the package of laundry.
1t must be presented when the
laundry is demanded, and no fears
need be entertained that the package
of clean clothes will not be forthcom-
ing, for they are scrupulously exact in
these matters.

THE OUTDOOR GIRL.
BY WILLIAM II, RAIIOU.

What if the merry maiden goes a-riding on her
wheel,
And wears graceful costume that is short
above the neel!
Can any one gainsay il, that, though changed
IN mode o. dress,
Shes of the gender feminine and not Il whit
the less?
And if she dons the boomers or the nicker-
booker clothes,
Is not her person just as sweet as any blooming
roseI
What if the college maiden rows Il shell or
SOULS with oars,
Or takes goal in football field, or bowls upon
the floors,
Is She amy less a woman if her skin is very
brown,
Than when she trailed her skirts in mud and
wore II high neClled gown?
And, il she boxes out her Zoe and fences like Il
man,
Lacks she any fascination, whateer the scheme
or plan?
SO far as all experience of men with women
goes,
For every ten of marriages nine are chock full
of woes;
The very latest woman, with her muscles
brains or pluck,
May bring new Joys to welded life and give us
better luck.
OF one thing am certain from the widest range
of view,
Old fashioned types must stand aside and make
way for the new.
Thank heaven for the change that's come, and
fascinating fads;
For the merry outdoor girl who cmulates
the lads

The Chinese Minister'S Expressions IN
Behalf of Ii Hung Chang.

Ii Hung Chang has made formal ac-
acknowledgement of the reception accorded
him by the government and the people OF
the United States in terms that do credit
to his high diplomatic tact. Before leaving
Vancouver he instructed Yang W. the
Chinese minister at Washington, by tele-
graph to visit the State Department in per-
son and express his high appreciation Of
the courtesy and hospitality which had been
shown him by the United States. saying
that nothing could exceed the warmth and
cordially of the reception accorded him on
all sides by the officials and the people.
He also expressed his great pleasure with
all of the arrangements made for his COM
fort and convenience and that of his suite
while travelling through the United States.
In conclusion. the minister was directed to
convey the personal thanks of Ii Hung
Chang to Gen. Kruger. Col. Bliss and the
other officers of the army for the efficient
manner in which they had performed their
duties ard contributed to the pleasure of
his sojourn in this country.
