Every railros6 man in Houston and
hundreds Of people in other lines of work
know Cray Laura" who has for the
last thirteen years made her homo in
the Fifth ward, existing as best she could,
many times without food OF shelter. and
at all times without a home until few
months ago, when kind hearted lady
gave her shelter in her own house.
While this unfortunate woman Is known
as Crazy Laura" she Is not really crazy,
but her nina Is al most times like that
OF little child, rather than lllsa tbat Of
an imbecile or one OF unsound mind. How
ever, there IS little wonder that her mind
IS weak and tottering when the hardshipa
abe has endured are considered The par
ual loss OF her reason 10 due directly to
the brutal assault OF a black fiend, who
struck heron the head with plstol, shat
tering her mind and leaving 1t weak and
unstable.
Crazy Laura" ia always harmless and
never violent except sometimes In her
language toward anyone who may attempt
to tease her Among the many sad oaseB
that go so make up the aum OF human
happiness and human sorrow. hers has few
parallels. Almost from infancy she has
had hard life. and there has been lit
little TO cheer or comfort her.
y,
Bright. the coed LADY who ia giving hes
shelter, is full OF pathos and incident
ally depicts the depths of suffering 10

Laura Autrey---'that Is her real name
was born thirty-siN years ago IN Tyler
county. fifteen miles from Woodvills. Her
father was killed In the civil war tire.
weeks after the birth OF his daughter,
whom he never saw. Tho mother, berefl
of her husband, and with her moana Of
subsistence impaired by the ravages OF
war, struggled for a few years to care
Tor her little family. and died. when
Laura was years OF age,
This was twenty-seVen years ago, but In
telling tho sad story 60 a Post reporteI

best friend was gone; II she had lived
thtngs might have been different with

Laura was sent to school for two years
and afterwards she went to live with u
young man In the employ of railroad
who paid her attention. and they were
married. A few minutes after the con-
elusion OF the ceremony that made them
one, the bride left her young husband and
turned deaf ear TO all entreaties for bel
return.
Some months afterwards she received
this blow that unthroned her reason, ant
she has since been q homeless wanderer
not knowing or seeming TO care what
should become Of her-with no care fa
the present and not Thoughts for ths
future.
For years her homo was auywhere--,iI
unoecupled houses, In starways or on
vacant lot in the suburbs Of the town
where she happened TO be. Her wan
deripgs brought her to Houston about
thirteen years ago, and she has since
spent the most OF her life here. Thes,
thirteen years, until she found her pres,
ent home, were years Of want sickness
and exposure. The unfortunate woman

the cold ground
Laura, several years ago, took Pc
euliar fancy 10 railroad men. The Hiking
was not for any particular railroad man,
but it moulded all OF them sho says
they arc all hers--everyone OF them. She
will stop them on the street and chat
pleasantly with them, seeming to have
an affection for each one. Her particular
term OF endoaFment for them is 'hun."
Speaking OF Que Of them, she will cay:
"He Is one OF my railroad huns" and
she has good word for all of them.
II is said by those who know her that
Laura used to carry lantern and make
trips over the various roads entering
unless near her railroad huns"
Her interest in the railroad men seems
TO BIO OF motherly character. ana she is
known by nearly every railroad man who
mAkes his home in this city.
Laura first met Mrs. II. w. Bright,
Ger present bonefaotor. about a year ago.
Mrs. Bright was sitting on tho front
porch OF her home on Cont street. Laura
came along and said:
Lady. would you let me bring my
valise here and leave Il with your have
no place TO put 1t except under an old
house. and am afraid somebody viii
steal II there"
Have you no homer" AIRS. Bright
asked.
mo, lady; I have no home. only
want some place 10 Leave my vallse."
The woman's pitiful story touched Mrs.
Bright, and she gave her permission 20
put her valis0 In tho house.
a day or two afterwards Laura came
back 10 get some clothing from the grip
and another conversation took place, with
the resut that Laura was told that she
could sleep In the kitchen until she could
md place to stay. She took advantage
OF the offer, but few daya afterward she
began to suffer from rheumatism, brought
on by the terrible exposure she had en-
dured, Mrs. Bright inquired OF the city
authorities II anything could be done fol-
the woman, and was informed that she
would have to be sent to the poor farm.
TO this Mrs Bright said. II, too, am a
woman. and misfortune may overtakel
me sometime; I'll not let her 60 TO tho
poor farm"
Instead of going to the poor farm, Laura
was sent to St Joseph's Iniirmary. She
recovered shortly and one afternoon
two or three weeks later she returned to
| Mrs. Bnghts. blessed that good lady FOR
what she had done and entreated Mrs.

Bright did. and laura is still with her.
