carriage and bearing are of truly
regal character. Her mother. the QUEEN
being by birth Russian grand duchess,
it is only natural that the princess
should have inherited many Muscovitt
sympathies and tastes, and hence the
union is likely to prove a happy one

of great beauty and sweetness of dis

owe her death to the ill-treatment which
she suffered at the hands of her hus

Two young Russian officers attached

quarrcled over their cups in cafe

struck the other across the check with

MARY MARKS.

at last when woman of As she was
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.
tai, where they established a tavern, the
this tavern in 1881 Moses Austin Bryan
boarded, and was then 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 fasei-
mating recital of those stirring times
than her description of life and charae-
ter in that early day.
At Whitesides' tavern congregated
the future statesmen and soldiers OF
fortune-Baron de Bastrop, the first
surveyor; Sam Houston, Henry Smith,
the first governor; "Three- legged vii,
lie," or, as he was less familiarly known,
r. 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 1886 that
John Marks, negro Methodist preach
er. came and married Mary, then &C
years of age. John Marks was a full
booded African. tall and very black,
with long arms ard a mouth almost
from ear TO ear He had little e1uca.
ton but he preached with power, and
the white people flocked 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 her 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 1880. John Marks died at good
old age. Soon after this Mary, from
her infirmities 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 q
year from the A. NJ. T. of Independence
of which her husband was pastor.

In the county of Washington, Tex.

who is 10 years old. A Globe-Demo-
crat correspondent recently visited the
old woman at the house of a negro,
Lewis Perkins, where she lived. Mary

side of the bed and talked cheerfully
of the past. Her mind was clear.
though her body is sustained only bt
frequent draughts of whisky, a stimu
liant that only the necessities of age
have induced her to touch.
Mary is a native of Hispaniola, of tht
West Indian group, and was born abou'
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, a dashing fellow, that Mary
still remembers with mixed feeling
Of terror and admiration. The cap
tain, she says, took d 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 OH
many of it's 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 history Of the wheel as a social
factor shows indeed a reversal Of the
usual order of things-the "smart set"
in every metropolis has taken to BIZ
cycling only after the masses had
adopted the sport. In our own coun-
try it has been only two or three sea-
sons since society at Newport dared
risk the frowns of conventional society
in town by adopting the wheel as fa-
vorite form of athletics.
In France and Germany and in Spain
friendly greetings everywhere follow

are now awaiting the effect of the cy
clists' power at the coming national
conventions. A bicycle candidate would
create diversion from the everlasting
silver and gold question.
And Mercury, personified in the
American district messenger boy. has
cast off his heel-wings and taken to
wheeling. At first only 90 uniformed
boys of the New York system, brave
with new wheels, white metal badges
and short lesgings, started on duty
from the various Offices north of

The day is rare that does not bring
out an announcement of new make
of wheel or new pedal or saddle or
chain or sprocket. New magazines de-
voted to wheeling spring up every
where, and New York city has now its
first Bicycle Daily"-the first in the
world, for that matter. II is, moreover,
prominently a woman's cycling year,
The manufacturers stocks of women's
wheels have been enlarged from one
eighth to full third.
Those dealers who have not yet
ordered machines, indeed, seem likely
to have to go without for the remainder
of the year. Secondhand machines
are, because of this, going up in value.
A curious result of the universally
of the wheel is the organization of
metropolitan agencies known as cycle
register companies, aimed against the
cycle thief. Wheels are registered for
small sum, and the registered num-
Der is stamped into the machine with
a steel die. A certificate is issued after
registration by which proof of owner
ship of the machine is always promptly
available. The disposal Of d stolen
registered wheel is thus rendered ex-
tremely difficult.
Bicycle insurance is another accom-
plished fact. Companies are organizes
for the purpose of repairing vehicles
and bicycles, and Of protecting owners
against loss or damage arising from ac-
cident. At the rate of SIP year, pay
able monthly, owners of wheels are
given list of repair shops in their
locality or some other, anyone of which
they are privileged to enter and have
work promptly done, the bill being
sent to the insurance company.
