How Houston Marked His Height.

John A. Thompson was born in the
same house in Lexington, Va, in which
Sam Houston first saw the light of day.
Mr.. Thompson says that he was born
just 40 years after Sam Houston, whose
birth occurred in 1897. The house in
which the births took place was one and
one-half stories high, was weatherboard-
cd and had small dormer windows. Al
though most OF the accounts state that
young Houston left Virginia for Tennes-
see with his mother when he was only .
years old. yet there are current In the
Timber Ridge neghborhood many stories
of his youth in Rockbridge. One Is that
he was desirous OF making his mark and
leaving lasting impression upon his
neighborhood. To do this on one occasion
he stood with his back to the partition in
the house and, taking his pistol, fired
a bail through the boards just above his
head, thus registering his height. which
measured G feet 4 inches. Strangers used
often to call at the house to see the hole
made by Houston's pistol. This action of
his seems to contradict the statement
that he left the state in early youth

Talk on Reading,

gathering of teachers above third grade.
Mi Mary q. Williams, ASST i,tant super

We ure all beginning to ogree that there
IS no or no iox .way of teaching this difi-
cult art Ear, mouth, eye, hand, each in

suppose that because reading is we'll
tau tht during the first year. that the tub-
Sequent years will present no difficulties.
| IS very important that II right begin
ming should be made, but certainly all of
us who have taught rending know from
experience that after the first year the de-
mand is for the highest skill and en-
deavOr.
A child cannot read a sentence correctly
II he has not u clear knowledge of the
words of which Il is composed. The fret
step in areading drill Is the teaching Of

"Pret.y good cigar" remarked the first
speaker, "but the chief thing about 1t Is
that ii was won on most peculiar bet,
and don't know but that can win one
from you on the same terms"
"Name the bet"
"Let me ask you question or two.

"Lct me see. put my left arm in

"lIow long does It take you to put 1t

"A good deal. | will bet you cigar

''rhats bet, and we will settle it

The two sauntered in the direction of
the cloakroom, where an attendant
brought forth the topcoats of the two
members.
"Only one, Henry" said the originator
of the BET "Mr. Smith wants to try his

Mr.. Smith took his coat and, inserting
the left arm in thu. sleeve, as was his hab-
it, threw the garment over his right
shoulder, in jiffy had it on. ready to ad-

Mr.. Smiths complexion became more
Horid than usual, caused by the unaccus-

gray hair which covered his head and up.

He tried it again. but the left arm re-

remark to his club companion, what

The Prehistoric Tin Trade.

Recent investigation of the old problem
of the diffusion of tin over eastern Eu-
rope and Asia Minor in prehistoric times
leads to the conclusion that about n thou.
sand years before Christ the tin of the
British isles was carried overland to the
AEGEAN sea. The invention Of the anchor
led about 200 years ago to the opening
of marine route between England and
the eastern end Of the Mediterranean,
and then the Phrygians controlled the tin
trade with their ships, The short sum.
mpr nights Of North Britain were among
the wonders that Greeks talked of in the
days Of Homcr.-Y Youths Companion.

THURSDAY. rlARCH 20. 1000.

The Sun says: "The likeness be-
tween the political situation in this
State and that in Pennsylvania is
striking. In both States the sue
cess of the Republican party is be-
ing jeopardized by insurgents and
boilers. The point at issue between
the party 10y alists and the boilers
is the election of U. S. Senator,
and in both States have combina-
tons between the boilers and Demo-
Gratis been made to prevent thar
election. In both States, too, the
rising Republican sentiment threat
ems to overwhelm the holters. In
both States, the proposed campaign
plans and defense Of their position
are assuming similar shapes. In
Pennsylvania the primary elections
have been won almost entirely by
the Republican party organization.
In this State that would have been
true if the boilers had dared to ac-
cept the challenge to appeal to the
ballot at the primaries. In Penn
sylvania the outlook is for a legls-
lature favorable to the reelection
of Senator Quay. and the boilers
knowing that they cannot elect
enough boilers to the Assembly to
control the Republican caucus, are
now openly advertising their intent
to deal with the Democrats in order
to defeat Mr.. Quay. In that State
of course thee will b. but one State
ticket. "
We cannot see where the similar
ity comes in in Delaware. Even
so, how is that gong to bring the
Republicans IN this State together
and thereby insure the election of
two Republican United States Scna-
tors in January.

proceedings. The Constitution pro-
yldce that each state shall have Il

THERE appears to be differ
ence Of opinion as to when Richard
M. Cams term as Trustee of the
Poor from Pencader Hundred eX-
pires. Attorney Cochran, is OF tie
opinion that MIR. Cam or his sue
cessor should have been elected IN
February by the Levy Court. He
was appointed in 1898 to fill the
unexpired term OF {. H, Salmon,
VINO resigned TO run for State SEN
ator on the Democratic ticket, This
question Of eligibility was brought
up at yesterdays meeting OF the
Trustees Of the Poor by John W.
Lawson. He cited the case where
the Republican majority in the
Board had refused 10 allow Joseph
p. Chandler, who represents Chris
tiana Hundred, and had been ap-
pointed by the Democratic Levy
Court, to serve out his predecessor S
uneXplred term, claiming that he
only had right to his seat in the
Board to I'LL out the term OF the
member whose place he filled.
President Scott, Of the Levy Court
said thatIohn H. Rodney had given
his opinion in the matter to the
court and held that the members,
Mr.. Cam and Mr.. Townsend were
elected for term of three years
each, Mr.. Townsend is filling out
the term Of State Senator Hart.
At any rate, the law is plain as can
be on this point and says when any
member shall die or resign, his sue
cessor shall be elected by the Levy
Court to fill oLt the vacancy Tor
the uncXpired term. 1t is expected
the Levy Court will consider this
matter to day or tomorrow and
straighten out the tangle into which
somebody has fallen.
