for Houston that he was made
generl over others who were
quite prominent and who were
brave and worthy. Hickory
Jackson had many personal ex-
periences with Gen. Houston, so
Judge Tindall states he was reli-
ably informed, and their rela-
tions were so intimate, he says,
that on one occasion Gen. Hous-
ton proceeded to give an enemy
of President jackson thrashing
because he had criticised the chief
executive.
"There are but few of the San
Jaclnto survivors left, remarked
the judge, probably less than a
dozen, but when we are all gone
| have but one request to make
and that is th0t Sam Houston
shall be remembered as the man
whose memory shall always re-
main fresh to Texans, and that
the history of his achievements
be indellibly written upon the
tablets of memory. He deserves
it,"
Judge Tindall was attending
college at LaGrange, Ala, when
the Seminole Indian trouble COM
menced. He joined company,
but was not needed. Aiterward
he left with Capt. Merriwether
w. Smith for Texas and landed
at Velasco in March, 1886. Owing
to misunderstanding, he says,
Capt. Smith did not go out with
the company and it was taken
charge of by H. S. Teal of east
ern Texas, whom he character
lied as brave and gallant cap
tain. On the day of the San ia
cinto battle Capt. Teal and about
300 others had the measles and
the command, which was in Mil
lard's battalion, was under COM
mand of Andrew Brstow.
Capt. Teal along with another
captain was sent to Mexico, he
states, to have the treaty be-
tween Houston and Santa Ana
ratified and at Matamoros were
stopped at the request of Gen.
Waul owing to the treatment he
received while under flag of
truce.
While remaining at Matamoros
Capt. Teal was advised, he says,
that the Mexicans were collecting
to invade Texas again in 1886, and
that Capt. Teal succeeded in hav-
ing a note concealed in a large
bull whip and sent it to Gen.
Rusk, notifying him of the pro-
posed invasion.
He says the Mexicans learned
that Capt. Teal and his compan-
ion, Capt. Carnes learned of
their action and were arranging to
have both shot, when the Next
can women conducting the hotel
notified them and most daring
escape was made, which incident,
he remarked, he had never seen
printed.

Amazing Strength of a Resident of
BurleSOn County.
CAN OUTufI FIVE STRONG MEN.
She treats an lnsolent Tramp to a Surprise
!, and Causes a Snowman to Lose
Valuable Trick Pet
Female Sampson.

Jennie Robinson, colored, of
Burleson county does not know
how old she is, but thinAs she is
still in her teens. While her age
may not be known, her strength
is. Jennie says she is a great deal
stouter than any man she ever
saw, and, if the statements of
several of her friends are worthy
of credsnce, she recently demon
strated that she possesses in her
arms the strength of five field
q hands. The overseer of the Bird
song plantation says that five big,
brawny colored men were endeav-
oring to raise a heavy piece of
machinery from the ground high
enough for an engineer to slip a
block under it, when Jennie hap
pened to appear and was asked to
assist. She pushed them aside
and lifted the piece of machinery
high enough to suit the purpose
of the engineer. The astounded
men tried with their combined
strength to equal the feat and the
oversecr says that they were un-
able to do so.
Jennie weighs 447 pounds and
there is no surplus flesh on her
body. Her muscles are as hard
as piece of tough wood. She is
good natured, bright and well
liked by the white people of the
neighborhood IN which she lives.
Many very many remarkable stor-
les are told by her friends con-
corning her strength. Some of
these border on the miraculous.
Not long ago big, insolent
tramp appeared at the back door
of Caldwell residence and de-
handed food. The little woman
who occupied the house told him
that nothing had been left over
from dinner, and she was about
to turn away when the big ruffian
insolently told her that if she did
not give him something to eat he
would go into her kitchen and
get it. He doubtless knew that
the lady's husband was at his Of
flee and he suspected that she was
alone in the house. Jennie Rob
inson was just around the corner
,of the building engaged in WISH
ing clothes. With her sleeves
rolled up she walked straight up
to the surprised tramp, and, with
out utteriA5 word, she picked
him up and threw him over the
fence into the street. "Pll learn
you bow to suit young missis,
she said, as she complacently re-
turned to her washing. The as
founded tramp limped away, nc
doubt feeling he was in luck tt
escape without a broken neck.

could either knock down or tt

Foul Smelling
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases. and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, forit is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

O'Neil declined to adopt it. Results OBJ
tanned at Sandy Hook have also been un-
satisfactory, according to official re-
ports. 1t is intended to fire the shell
from the proposed 1S-inch gun with low
pressure, SO as not to disrupt the gun,
and at the same time give the projectile
an easy flight.

SOME OLD CRITICISMS.

Charles 3. HanfOrd was recently in con-

very pessmistic attitude toward the mod

VALUE OF BUTT ERMILK

Buttermilll possesses many valuable
qualities not generally recognized by
farmers and dairymen. Some recent med
ical tests have proven that as an agent Of
digestion buttermilk has no superior on
the farm. 1t is of great value in typhoid
fever, and, being a laxative, is excellent
for habitual constipation. AS a remedial
agent in kidney troubles it possesses good
features, and in cases of gastric ulcer and

THE SAGACIOUS RAT.

One day a well-fed and sagacious rat
came across an object made of, wire,

take care of liberal piece of cheese.
Having. had several years experience

occupation when mouse appeared and
wanted to know what was up.

pass the cheese out, will you?" e.
The mouse had no sooner nibbled at
the bait than there was crash and he
found himself trapped
"Ah, that's the way 1t works, is it?'
queried the rat. Il couldn't just make
it out. Um! I see. Spring there some

A mans body is a good deal like a team Of

do so will only do himself further harm.
The reason that men have nervous exhaus-

the brain when the body is balky. The
right thing for man to do when he finds
he is out of sorts physically is to give the

AFTER R-DINNER CIGARS.

Oh, it's well enough
A whiff a puff
From the heart of a pipe to get;
And dainty maid
Or q budding blade
May toy with the cigarette;
But a man when the time
OF q glorious prime
Dawns forth like a morning star.
Wants the dark brown bloom
And the sweet perfume
That go with good cigar.
TO lazily float
In a painted boat
On shimmering morning sea,
Or to f1irt with a maid
In the afternoon shade
Seems good enough sport to me;
But the evening hour
With it's subtle power
Is sweeter and better far,
If joined to the JOY
Devoid of alloy
That turks in a good cigar.
When a blanket wet
Is solidly set
Ger hopes prematurely grown: .
When ambition is tame
And energy lame, "
And the bloom from the fruit is blown
When to dance and dine
With women and wine
Past poverty's pleasures are
A mans not bereft
OF all peace, if there's left
The joy of a good cigar.
