big Foot" Wallace Acquired Name
Guarding the Texas Frontier.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
William Alexander Anderson Wal
lace, known far and wide as big Foot"
Wallace, died at his home near Devine,
Texas, this morning, the result of an
attack of pneumonia of about one
weeks duration. He was born in 1917
near Lexington, ROckbridEe county,
Va. He came of revolutionary stock.
his ancestors having served i'm Wash
inGton's army. The name of Big Foot"
Wallace has been household word in
Texas for more than sixty years. The
school histories of this state have
made his name familiar to several gen.
erations. He lived in camp for moro
than half century. during which time
he was always recognized as a faithful
guardian of the frontier.
He was one of the famous prisoners
of Mier, and fortunate enough to draw
a white bean at the Hacienda Salada
where Santa Anna had ordered every
tenth man to be shot. He was the
most courageous and desperate of all
that desperate band of Spartan Texans
who daily challenged their guards to
mortal combat. Though at the time
surrounded by an army far from home
this masterfu martial spirit whispered
to his comrades that he saw a raw of
hope. The next instant the Texans
gave a yell and with no other weapons
than their hands, rushed upon COM
pany of Mexican cavalry left to guard
them and unhorsed them to a man.
In the gloomy dungeon Of Perote it
took seven giant MeXicans to throw
him to the earth and bind him. After
he had lain fifteen days, chained hand
and foot, face downward, to a rock,
without food or water. when the
thrOngs were cut and the rivctS forced
apart, his first act was to spring at one
of his tormentors and try TO throttle
him, His entire life was filled with
deeds and incidents of such danger and
gallantry that it is almost beyond the
comprehension Of man to realize that
SO much of excitement and danger
could enter into a single life. OF late
years he had been leading quiet, re-
tired existence, his chief delight being
to recount the scenes of earlier years.
He never married.
OF so distinguished a character were
his services that the state legislature
years ago made ample provision fOi
his support. His funeral will be one OF
the largest attended in the history Of
the state, and already demand is MADE
that his body rest at the capital of the
state.
He came to Texas in 1887. avowedly
for the purpose of avenging the death
of his brother who had been captured
and slain by the MeXicans in 1886. He
drew a pension as a Mexican war vet

MARRIED IN BINGHAMToN.

Announcement has just been made OF
the marriage of Miss Minnie Boyce.
daughter of Mrs. y. a. Boyce, of 9Ol
Price street, and Charles j. Frank, of
HerlIimer, n. Y. The ceremony was
performed at BinghamtOn, on Jan. ~.
The statement to the effect that
the marriage was the outcome of an
elupemcnt is denied by the youg
lady's relatives. When seen by Trib-
une representative last evening, a.
member of the family stated that the
contemplated marriage was known to
the ladys mother previous to her de-
parturc for BinEhamton, and the cer"-
mony was performed there on account
of the distance between this city ana
the young mans home. Mr. Frank IS
the son of Hon. II. NJ. Frank, presl-
dent of a bank at Heriiimer n. ".
and is a we'll known and popular young
man in that city.

The Africans Endurance.

From the London News.
Two cases notably illustrative of the
African natives power Of endurance
are reported from the British Central
African Protectorate. In each instance
a man was dragged from his canoe by
a crocodile and had an arm bitten al
most to a pulp. The men had 10 be
taken long distances overland, one
reaching Zomba each had the injured
limb amputated and quicklyTecovcrod
DR.. Douglas Gray, acting chief medical
officer there, remarks further in his re-
port, upon the growing confidence Of
the native in the European medicine.
Reports Of cures-more especially in
relation to surgery spread rapidly
among the natives, and the one old
cure--a fiber brand tied around a limb
above the seat Of the disease-is he
says, fast losing its reputation.

MENTAL DYSPEPSIA.
The Disease Is Caused by Indiscrim-
inately Bolting Books.

Alimental dyspepsia Is due, as rule,
to imposing on the stomach food it is
unable to digest. in exactly similar
way mental dyspepsia may be induced.
Books furnish the food for the mind.
If we grab up every book we come
across and bolt its contents like trav-
Clers in railroad eating house, there
is going to be trouble about digeSting
what We have read. And if we persist
in the practice our minds will finally
balk at even attempting the process OF
digestion. our memories will refuse to
hold the most prominent features. We
may develop an abnormal appetite for
more bOoks-just as alimental dySpep-
ties often crave and hunger for food
hut no growth will follow our devOur-
ing them. Our minds will be nourshed
about as are the bodies Of alimental
sufferers. OF course, it will not show
in exactly the same way. The literary
dyspeptic may be physically fat, even
to obesity. but he win be lean and
spare to emaciation in thoughts ana
ideas.
And in another respect the two forms
Of dyspepsia are alike, points out the
Kansas City Times. Both are very apt

things that their victims should most
rigidly eschew. The sufferer from a
disordered stomach almost invariably
Graves rich cakes, confectionery, cam
died citron and puddings and pie-O,
! especially a great deal of that! And
the literary dyspeptic wants his nom
| sensical romances, his lopsided mock
| history his distorted and impossible
| scientific marvels, his cock and bull
| heroics. He wants, in word, nothing
| but literary pie and cake and lolli-
pops. And literary dyspepsia has spread
| over the whole country like a blight.
| People ought to be afraid, but they
| show no sign Of it. Publishers and
makers of many books keep on pand-
ering to the diseased appetites and no
one interferea And whoever could in
terfere? 1t is a matter the people will
have to realize and correct for them
| selves.
