gia friends he concluded to Try his luck in
Texas, and blther he care with small

sion. The Georgians and North Caro.in-
ians settled in the Nacogdoches district and
had thrilling experiences with the lawless
element, who practiced kidnapping slaves
and occasionally murdered settlers. Unc.e
Isaac was the hunter for the colony of ten
families, all depending on his rifle for meat.
During that dramatic period of his life
he married Lucinda Caroline Hill. fror-
tier belle, who shared with him his hunters
lodge and bore him four children. He was
scout in the Texas war for independence,
and was thrown frequently into company
with Davy Crockett, whom he regards as
one OF the worlds greatest heroes. He was
a personal friend of Sam Houston and had
the confidence OF that warrior and states
man.
In 1861 he was in Rusk county, Texas,
and was impressed into service by the agents
OF the Southern Confederacy, for, although
far past the age of exemption, his skill in
iron ard steel was regarded as indispensable
/ and he was put at the head OF an armory.
a cannon he cast for the southern army was
used in more than one battle. Uncle Isaac
was at heart a Union man, and got into
trouble with Mr.. Davis government on
more than one occasion. lie IS nearer being
a typical southerner now than he was dur
ing the war. He is proud Of mis- country
and favors territorial expansion.

for skill and gallantry. His woodcrait,
horsemanship, iron constitution and ability
to endure all the vicisstudes of frontier life
made him an invaluable ranger under Rip
Ford, John B. Jones, Sui Ross, George B.
Erath and other great leaders in those dark
and troublesome days.

After the death of his first wife he fell in
love with Sarah Jane Sparks, lovely Texas
girl, courted her, and the couple were united
in wedock in primitive meeting house, by
an old pioneer preacher. The second wife
still lives, the happy mother of five chill
dren, making sixteen children born to the
old ranger.
For many years he resided at the Bosque
Falls, near China Springs, eighteen miles
west of Waco. He now resides with Ed

MR.. sToRY's AMIABLE SUBJECTS
The Painter Tells of the Distinguished
People Who Have Sat for Him

Painters are good company. They have
seen so much, their powers of observation
are so acute, and, with rare exception, their
sense of humor so well developed that an
hour with them means more than an hour
with most people OF artistic profession.
Julian Story is in these respects exception
ally interesting. The son of the great poet
sculptor, w. w. Story, with youth Of art
associations behind him such as, comes sell
dom in a century, and a manhood of art as
sociations that he has made for himself, his
claim to opportunities for observation be-
comes pretty we'll established.
He has the exquisitely developed tact of
the Italian, and in a career that requires
intercourse with the world at large and the
distinguished world in particular, tact is SO
necessary that without it even genius never
gets very far, until it is dead and can no
longer make people uncomfortable by rub
bing the rough edges of life.
Ii any man needs tact beyond another it
is the artist-painter or sculptor. If he is
not obliged to move the world he is obliged
to move individuals. which is often more
difficult.
But Mr.. Story's lot has fallen in pleasant
places and in none more pleasant than the
instance Of the Prince of Wales, who sat
to him for his portrait year ago.
''He is the kindest and most genial Of
men," said Mr.. Story, "and when asked
him to give me sitting he referred me to
his equerry, General Clarke. called upon
him at Marlborough house and obtained a
glimpse of the demands upon the time of
royalty In book there was written down
by half hours engagements for the next two
weeks ahead. But few days later came a
letter promising an hour, though my heart

WACO, Tex, Dec. l7.-Isaac Brock is ITO
years old. Isaac is a citizen of McLennan
county, and no longer hunts deer and wild
turkeys, owing to dimness of vision which
has afflicted him for about two years. He
is getting old, he says, and cannot hold his
rifle steady nor draw fine bead as he did
until few years back.
His old rifle still hangs on the buckhorn
rack, and he likes to take it down and clean
it up. Once it was flintlock, but in 1886
he had it altered and now it shoots with a
percussion cap. He talked in 1865 about
changing it to a breechloader, but his sons
bought him Winchester, and with the new
tangled weapon he manages to be patient
He always preferred the old deer rife, for
with it he was infallible as a marksman un
til his eyesight weakened.
Uncle Isaac was born in Buncomb county,
North Carolina, March l, 1888; therefore he
is ITO years old. Recently he remarked:
IF | live until 1900 will have lived in three
centuries
He grew up among the soldiers who won
the independence OF his country. He saw
Washington and Light Horse Harry Lee
He was a mere boy when he met the living
heroes of the American revolution, and his
heart grew full of zeal from such associa-
tions. When the second war with Great
Britain commenced he enlisted and saw the
redcoats in battle array on more than onc
occasion. He condemns the proposed Anglo.
American alliance, remarkirg tina. France is
the original and only true friend of this
nation.
After the war of 1912 Isaac moved to
Georgia and engaged with limited success
in gold mining. Being g,od blacksmith,
he earned little money st repairing tools

MAY LIVE IN THREE CENTURIES

Bosque county, about twenty miles from
Waco, and there he will end his days.
Last week, at the request of President j.
G. Deane of the Texas Photographers asso-
citation, Uncle Isaac came to Waco and sat
for his picture. In his hand he held a
stick cut from the grave of General Andrew
jackson, which has been carried by him ever
since when occasion seemed to call for the use
OF a cane.
Uncle Brock is dignifed old gentleman,
showing few signs of decrepitude. His fam
lily Bible is still preserved, and it shows that
the date of his birth is written ITO years ago.
He is modest and retiring He does not rel
ish being made the subject OF a newspaper
article. He said: "When | lived at the
Falls caught trout frequently, and news
paper editor who wrote about me made my
fish too heavy. 1t caused my neighbors to
laugh"
In the trip from Valley Mills to Waco
Uncle Isaac rode in farm wagon, accom-
panied by his son, and when he got here he
was able to walk around the city and return
the next day. When he was 90 years old
he shod horse all around, and he says he
thinks he could shoe horse now by taking
his time at he job.
He fought, as has been stated, in the war
of 1872, the war between the Texas republic
and Mexico, and the war between the United
States and Mexico. In the civil war he was
gunner in battery at Galveston, and was
under fire of the United States gunboats.
He is, therefore, a soldier of four wars. In
addition to having fought in the four wars
mentioned, he fought Indians on the Texas
frontier for six years, and slew one in hand
to hand combat.
Attention was called to him recently when
he was in court as witness to testify in a

The farmers, of Barton county will
feel more like the farming interests
will be looked after in the next leg
islature by farmer than town
man. Isom Wright, the democratic
and populist nominee, is farmer-a
practical hard working farmer-and
will know the needs of his class better
than a town man whose entire inter.
eat is in the commercial line. Besides
this, Mr.. Wright has served one
term in the legislature and is pre-
pared to 60 right at the business iu
hand, while a new and inexperienced
man would be able to accom- lish
nothing A vote for Isom Wright
for representative will be vote for
