Brains and printers ink had certainly
done a great deal for the little city by
the sea.
No wonder that people came from the
uttermost ends of the earth gingling
gold in their pockets, which they ca
gerly desired to exchange for town lots
or farming lands near Corpus Christi
Bay. No wonder that the hotels and
boarding houses were crowded with
strangers seeking homes and the hills
covered with the tents of emigrants
who had crossed the continent inspired
by the hope of securing land in this
modern land of milk and money, where
the farmers simply throw the seed up
on the soil and God did the rest.
Had they not been told by the news
papers, the financiers, capitalists and
preachers that the future great metrop-
Oils of the South would be built right
here on Corpus Christi Bay? Why,
this spot had been selected as the north
ern end of the great Pan-American
railway. A man might escape death,
but Corpus Christi could not escape
its destiny. Destiny pointed to great
city on these shores. Ropes had in
gratiated himself into the confidence
of Destiny, and he know all about it.
Every farm product of the great North
west, from Minnesota to Alaska would
seek an outlet to European marts
through Corpus Christi. Certainly a
blind man could see that More special
trains were put on the railroads lead
ing in the right direction, and there
were special sale days, when great bar
gains would be offered in desirable city
realu estate on the Boulevard of Gold,
between the avenue of Roses and the
Garden of Eden. Mexican vacuueros
were sent out before sunrise TO beat
the rattlesnakes out of the cactus and
scare the coyotes away, lest the inno-
cent buyer might conclude they were
getting too far out into the country.
There was not a bit of danger of
frightening any of them away. They
had come there TO buy land, and they
would have bought land if it had been
covered knee-deep with rattlesnakes
The street cars were pretty things, all
covered with flags and lots of letters
in gilt and gold The Magnolia Park
cars, traversing the avenue of Roses
and the Midway of Palms, terminated
at lone tree FIVE miles from town.
The Garden of Eden line ran all
around through the brush and termina-
ted at frog pond ten miles from the
bay, where land sold by the inch. They
called the place the Walk of Peace.
ARRIVAL OF THE CRASH.
Everything was moving along with
the greatest possible serenity when,

walked into the palatial Office that was
occupied by Mr.. Ropes and a typewTit-
er of silk amid the perfume of roses;
and this man simply said" Mr.. Ropes,
find that you have deceived me, and
want my money" Now, there was
one thing that Mr.. Ropes was opposed.

to upon principle, and that was paying
back money. 1t made him sick TO think
of such a thing-as sick as if spec OF
gravy had fallen upon his immaculate
shirt front He slowly rose from his
easy chair and, with a smile of cont
dence, he placed his long, white fin
gers together and began to explain TO
the Texan. But the Texan did not
want an explanation: he wanted his
money, and he simply told Mr.. Ropes
that he would give him just five min
utes to get it. Ropes was dear lover
of money and he made another attempt
to explain, but cane whistled through
the air, and the next instant Ropes was
living on his back and wall went from
Inc windows of his office.
1t was just as if the sun had sud
denly become eclipsed-just as If night
had fallen upon midnoon. A sudden
chilliness and unaccountable silence
pervaded the atmosphere. People talk
ed in whispers and Looked at each 9th
er as if they had just recovered from
a dream. Quietly here and there 4
few who thought themselves wiser than
Others slipped about and tried TO I'M
load. To their surprise they found that
everybody else was engaged in the
same business. The boom had burst.
The coyote again made his lair in the
Park of Paradise, the rattlesnake re-
turned to his den in the Garden of
Eden. and the vulture paused to rest
his pinions upon a crag on the Boule-
,,ord of Goy BRAZOS.

that Corpus Christi was the capital Of

Corpus Christi was the Peking of the

our envoy if it was located on sthe

the world who had never heard OF
North America were perfectly familiar
with the words Corpus Christi.

Death of Judge Bennett.

The many friends of Judge John
r. Bennett throughout the Twelfth
judicial circuit and the state were
pained to learn of his sudden death
from apoplexy at his home in James
vile last Friday night, after an illness
of only three hours. The judge was
a Well-knOwn figure in the judiciary
and formerly took an active part in
Republican politics. He was a man
of ripe experience and high learning,
and during his long service on the
bench bore an enviable reputation as
just and conscientious jurist. He
was in his 10Th year.
The deceased was born in Rodman.
Y. Y, November /, 1920, and was
educated in the East for a teacher,
which vocation he pursued several
years, finally, in 1874, taking up the
study Of law. Four years later Judge
Bennett came to Wisconsin and began
practicing law at GAINESVILLE, which he
continued without interruption until
his election to the judgeship of the
Twelfth Judicial circuit in 1882 He
was twice reelected to this position
and had always served to the satisfac-
tion Of his constituents. His present
term would have expired ia January,
1901.
Judge Benefits funeral was held
yesterday morning at JanesvilIe, being
largely ATTENDED by members of the
bar, by whom he was most highly es-
teemed. 4 committee Of attorneys
has been selected to draft a suitable
memorial to the deceased, Harlow
Pease, of this city, being a member
of the committee.
