were employed seems to have been er-
roneous AS yet there has been no need of
steam htters, and it is probable that Chair

TO decorate the interior of the building with
hunting instead of painting it. Tnis will

Former Representative From Texa
Passes Away Mt Jefferson.

JEFFERSON. Tex, May 7.-Ex-Repre-
sentative David b. Cuberson, father of
United States Senator C. A. Culberson of

x-Representative Culberson was at one
time prominent candidate for the speak
ership of the House. He was for long
time chairman of the judiciary commit
tee and was regarded as one of the best
constitutional lawyers in public life.

said to a Star reporter that his death is
deeply deplored by his associates. He was
a lawyer of profound and exhaustive pro-
fessionai learning, and possessed a mind
remarkably clear In the apprehension of
legal principles. He was perhaps unsur-
passed in his knowledge of the history and
purposes of the legislation of Congress dur

him in the performance of his duties and

HORSE A GREAT JUMPER.
Cleared Chasm of Twenty-one Feet to
Escape a Grizzly.

Escape Grizzly.
Not many horses trained in steeple-
chasing and ridden by skilled Jockeys
could make a clean jump of twenty-one
feet.
When George King, the cowboy,
started out to round UP" herd of cat
tie that was pasturing In the valleys of
the Santa Ana River he invited an In
dian, Juan Machado, to accompany him
and help him in the cattle driving. Ma
chado was on the point Of agreeing,
when King said jokingly: 1--WE will
take our guns along and we might get
fat bear"
Immediately the Indian appeared to
be In state of abject terror and re.
fused to take the trip, assuring King
that the grizzly bear always overheard
nounced their object We're sure to be
eaten up. Laughing at the Indians
superstition, King started on without
him.
A day or two afterward he was fol
lowing lonely trail alone. The trail

near the border of a dangerous gulch.
Suddenly the pathway made a sharp
curve, and disclosed to the cowboys
sight monster grizzly gnawing at the
qulyering flesh of a newly killed year
ling Now, Of all circumstances calcu-
lated to excite grizzly the interruption
of his meal s the surest Therefore
when the mounted cowboy rode almost
upon him he rushed forward with a
terrifying growl.
The little horse needed no spurs, but
darted onward through the brush with
incredible swiftness, the angry bear
following close behind. In moment
the horse and rider were on the edge
of the gulch, and there was no room
for turning King and his horse both
knew that. There was but one thing to
do. King raised the bride reins, the
little horse gathered her legs beneath
her. sailed straight through the air
and landed safely ON the edge of the

process explained. The Greeks and

filed with sand was the outgrowth OF
these vessels from which the water
dripped through tiny openings.
