AN OLD-TIAIE HERO.
Col. Grip" Ford, a 'Texas Veteran"
and Noted Indian Fighter.

Chicago Times-Herald.
The telegraph on Thursday brought news
of the death of John S. Ford. He died at
San Antonio, Tex, and was eighty-two
years old Paralysis, that enemy of the
aged, struck him more than a month ago,
and since then he has been passing. With
fast-thinning band that connects the pro-
sale present with the heroic past He was
a Texas veteran which means that he
fought in the war of independence that re-
suited in the freedom of the republic from
the dominance of Mexico. He was, too, a
veteran of the United States war of con-
quest against Mexico and of the war be-
tween the States. He had been an active
participant in three cataclysmal struggles
between men, He had fought under three
fiags-the lone star the stars and stripes
and the stars and bars.
His rifle had cracked and his bowie knife
been driven home in countless combate
with Indians. He had camped on the trail
of marauding Apache, Comanche, Lipan,
Arapahoe and Kiowa- He had seen the
thin blue columns of smoke rising straight
thousand feet in the prairie air from
never acquired. He had trodden the ashes
of the settlers burned dwelling and buried
the charreo bodies of the wife and children
He had learned to distinguish between the
blood-chilling war whoopS of the tribes.
He was master OF all the wondrous wood
craft of the West When the OWLS boot or
the long-drawn cry of the questing wolf
trembed on the air he knew instantly
whether the sound came from bird or
quadruped or the throat of some red war
rior hidden in the grass ''Tha owls hoot-"

The Question.

If 1t is true there is port Of peace.
Where crystal waters ever sparkle clear.
UnrIff1ed by breezes in their play;
know my soul will often stop in Joy
Of it is given in that bissful sphere
To bring to mind the of earthly life),
And hold itself in dread, 1t recalls
One stormy day when hope and fortune sank;
And it hung fainting to broken mast,
And the day withdraw, and stars look out
On waves that bore not any sign of sail.

himself to be fine organ player of the

does not suit the general public. They
want something lighter, fall OF movement,
