GAVE A FARM FOR A DRINK.
Paradoxical in Texas, the Drink Was
Straight Water.

Paradoxical in Texas, the Drink Was
Straight Water.
A section of land which constitutes
one Of the finest farms in the fertile
BraZos bottom of Texas once sold for a
drink of water. 1t was about fifty
years ago., according to ex-Lieut.-G
George t. Jester, that a crowd of from
tiersmen from off the Brazos came to
Corsicana on a trading expedition.
Corsicana at that time was not as
great a town as it is now, since it
threatens to rival the most productive
oil region of Pennsylvania, but was a
typical frontier village or trading post.
The grandfather of Gov. Jester was a
Methodist circuit rider, and lived at
that time in Corsicana. He occupied a
two-story double log house. His house
was a rendezvous for people from far
and near who came trading. In those
days land certificates were used as cir
culating medium, as money was rarely
seen. On one occasion a whisky-drink-
ing character from off the Brazos ar
rived in town, got on a drunk, and at
night was put to bed in the second
story of the Jester mansion. About
L o'clock in the morning he aweke with
a terrible thirst. No water was in the
room, and he couldn't find the way
down stairs. Sticking his head out of
the window, he saw some men asleep
in the yard. He called to them to
bring him a drink of water, but no one
answered him. A second and a third
time he called, but with no response.
Finally he yelled out: "One of you
fellows bring me a drink of water, and
I'll give you 500 acres of land" This
aroused one Of the sleepers, who called
back that he wouldn't climb those
steps for $40 acres of land, and the
fer was raised to GAO acres. The man
under the tree drew a bucket Of water
and lugged it upstairs and offered a
dipperful to the topper, but he pushed it
aside. "Give it to me out of the bucket
like a horse" he said, and he put about
half the contents of the bucket under
his belt. In those days a Texans
word was his bond, and this fellow kept
his word about the land. Next morn
ing he made his benefactor a deed to
$40 acres Of Brazos bottom land. This
land still belongs to the descendants of
The water carrier and is one of the
finest farms to be found in all Texas.
1t is now worth from $35 to $40 per
acre.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Burglary Story.

grocery store in a down-east town.
The mans hand was thrust through

of the struggles of the man outside.
In the morning the burglar was found
dead, having cut his own throat when
he four escape impossible; but the

passed; then came Franchard. They
put up the horse at the little solitary
inn, and went forth strolling. The
gorge was dyed deeply with heather;
the rocks and birches standing lumi-
nous in the sun. A great humming of
bees about the flowers disposed jean
Marie to sleep, and he sat down against
a c!ump Of heather, while the Doctor
went briskly to and fro, with quick
turns, c~ulling his simples.
The boys head had fallen a little
forward, his eyes were closed, his fin
gers had fallen lax about his knees,
when a sudden cry called him to his
feet. 1t was a strange sound, thin and
brief; it fell dead, and silence returned
as though it had never been interrupt
ed. He had not recognized the Doc
tors voice; but, as there was no one
else in all the valley, it was plainly
the Doctor Who had given utterance to
the sound. He looked right and left,

GEMS.
Curious Opals Found in the Bamboo OF
Manila.

New York Press: Among the queer
things found in the Philippines are
bamboo opals, a vegetable gem which
is sometimes discovered by the natives
in the stem of the bamboo" said a
gentleman who has lived for a number
of years in Manila. mot one piece of
bamboo in a thousand, however, con-
tains a specimen, as the bamboo grown
there, as elsewhere, is usually empty,
but accident occasionally brings to
light in the bamboo stem a small flint
like material, which presents the ap-
pearance of a perfect opal. These
mOdules are known to the natives as
'tobacur,' and I have found from time
TO time during my long stay IN the
islands seen several of these vegeta-
BILE freaks of nature, which reproduced
the characteristic lines of the opal so
faithfully that experts were puzzled to
know the difference between the
vegetable and the real specimen. "Be-
sides the tobacur gem there is fire.
quently found in the inside of the Phil
ippine c%ocoanut a tiny substance re-
5embling a sponge, which, when ex-
posed to the heat of the sun for several
days, will reveal the presence of sundry
small spheres that have all the natural
appearance INC luster of the pearl.
These %cocoanut gems range from : le
size of a pin head to that of a small
pea. They are valuable, and when not
used by the natives for personal adorn-
ment, are sold to local and foreign mu-
seums as curiosities. 1t may be in
lteresting to know that the first chem
ical and meteorological examination of
these vegetable gems was made by
James Smithson, whose munificence es-
tablished the first of the scientific bu-
reaus Of the American government"

History tells us much of ~Franchard:
how the recIuse was often slain by rob-

bers; how he lived on a most INSULT

his days in prayer. A letter is pre-
served, addressed to one Of these soil
taries by the superior of his order, full
of admirable hygienic advice; bidding
him to go from his book to praying,
and so back again, for variety's sake,
and when he was weary of both to stroll
about his garden and observe the honey
bees. 1t is to this day my own system.
