GIFTS TO EDUCATION.

The commencement season and the
months since of the first year of the
twentieth century were marked by larger
gifts to education than were ever before
made in single year. Special efforts had
been made, OF course, but many of the
gifts were made without solicitation. Here
is the record of the large gifts, as pub

STORY OF THE ALPHABET.

THE STORY OF THE ALPHABET,
By Edward Clodd. Published by D.
Appleton & Co. New York. Price
40 cents.
The Appletons are publishing a series
of little books of information on phil
oSophy. literature. science. and history
that are popular because the informa-
ton is accurate and yet is unburdened
by mass of technicalities or intricate
and obscure theories. valuable to spe-
cialists but burdensome and diScOur
aging to the average reader. who has
only an intelligent interest in the sub
jects and does not desire to make them
life studies. The books are small in
size. handy. and written in an easy
going style.
One of the particularly interesting
books of this series is Edward ClOdd'S
History of the Alphabet. because some
very convenient knowledge of the his
tory of our alphabet is opened up for
the ordinary reader. Usually only the
few scholars enjoy any knowledge of
how our letters came to be, the books
on the subject are usually too ponder
Gus for ordinary reading, but Profess
sor Clodd's history tells very enter
(and does not take too 1ong)
of how from the first scratchings of
pictures on rocks through the masses
of hieroglyphics, our present compact
and convenient outfit of twenty-six
letters has been evolved.
The book begins with the beginning
and does not end until the letters, as
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1901-02-23

we have them are reached. There are
quantities of illustrations showing the
primitive ways of expressing thought
by pictures and signs and all explained
to some intelligibility for the above
mentioned average reader. The Indian
petitions to the president, the wam-
pun belt inscriptions, Ojibway love
letters, and hunters announcements
all make lively reading. There is a
chapter on the Rosetta stone, that ex-
plains why that much scratched slab is
interesting and valuable.
Another chapter tells of the Greek
Papyri and Chinese and Japanese
Scripts. and gives their testimony to
the chan ges. A chapter is devoted to
runes and ogams, the peculiar, print
tive writings of the Scandinavians.
The history of the alphabet. like the
history of words seems curiously hui
man. Only little more and it would
have tragedy, comedy. the, groupings
the ups and downs, the conceit, the
of the infinite by the finite,
and all the ear marks of a human be-
ing. 1t just falls a little short of be-
ing human. If one looks at it in one
way such a history as this of the alpha
bet is as interesting as romance or
adventure tale. At any rate it is eX-
ceedingiy interesting and valuable in
formation told In the little book and
it will add to his knowledge and widen
the philosophy of the average reader,
to read the book through.

Another Scrap With
Mountain Lion.

Another encounter with a mountain
lion occurred near Van Horn. ST. Kirk
TurnbO of my company and squad
of rangers was stationed there. and DR..
Buck was appointed surgeon of the
department. The doctor built a box
house of cedar and the floor was some
three feet from the ground. He had
a big. lubberly half grown cur at the
house. and one day the dog give a yell
of pain and humping was heard under
the floor. and the doctor concluded as
everything grew quiet that Dick, the
pet of company a. had come over to
keep his hand. or teeth in. and had Civ
en- his dog the shake. Next morning.
however. when the doctor called the
dog to feed him. he did not show uD.
and looking under the house he was
very much astonished TO see only the
hind quarters of his dog. The head
and half the body was gone and the
back bone and ribs cut as straight as
though a butchers cleaver had been
used. Examining the ground he found
the tracks of an immense panther, and
swore by the great horn spoon he
would get even with him. AS doctors
generally manage to kill plenty of peo-
pie without resorting TO strychnine, he
had none with him. but at night he
tied small rope to the dogs hind leg

a bite. This was novel kind of fish
ing but he had a good double barreled
shot gun well loaded with blue whist
lerS.
The doctor sat up until midnight
and then went to bed. setting his gun
handy and tied the rope to his left arm.
Just before daybreak he was awakened
by a vigorous pull at his bait and
found himself on the floor. Moving
pretty steadily towards the window he
managed to grab his gun and when nc
got to the window he sat back like an
old tongue steer and aimed at dark
object outside and fired. and fell back
wards as the rope was turned loose.
Not caring to risk a wounded panther
in the dark he waited for daylight and
soon found the trail and plenty of
blood. Within $50 yards of his house
he found the dead panther. and an i'm
mense one too.

OF COURSE SHE UNDERSTOOD.
1t Takes a Woman to Know What's the
Matter With a Little Girls Bonnet.

From the New York Evening Sun
When they came on the car the other
day everybody wondered what made
the small girl look so queer. A nice
looking man was leading her by the
hand. and she would have been nice
looking. too. il it hadn't been for her
bonnet. 1t was the strangest bonnet
seen in many day. A deep and full
ruffle fell into the child's eyes. while a
stiff. shelf-like projection stretched out
over her neck. She was uncomfortable,
and the man was bolivious. After a
while plump and comfortable mother
of two could endure it no longer. She
leaned across the car and said some
thing to the man, who began to smile.
he united the bonnet and put in on the
other side up. The ruffle developed in
to little cape and the shelf into poke
bonnet and the transformation was
complete.
You see. her mother wasn't around
and --," he began.
"Of course you did smiled back the
mother of the two.

Adventures With
Savage Animals

| MagOffin was with a train going
| from San Antonio to Ell Paso and stop
ping to camp at Turkey Creek, or the
Nueces river, concluded to go out and
kill mess of quail for supper; he had
not gone far until he walked up within
twenty-five yards of two immense
jaguars or leopards. lying down under
a tree, evidently asleep; he only had
shot gun loaded with number eight
shot, and was not out for leopards or
lions. and therefore was quite as much
astonished as the animals were at this
unexpected pleasure" The judge said
he remembered that it was currently
reported that man could strike terror
into the heart of a wild, ferocious ami
NAL, by looking them in the eye and
out of countenance so to speak.
Here was an opportunity to demon
strate this fact in the interest of
science. So he posed as Roman
gladiator might. and began to try and
hasty retreat himself. The leOpards
had raised their heads and were exam
inging him critically. but showed no
signs of fear or bashfulneSS. If there
had been but one he might have
'buffaloed'' him or he had been like
Tom Conklin, and been able to cross
fire on them, it might have been a sue
cessful ruse. But he said they didn't
dismay worth a cent, but on the con-
trary. struck terror into his soul, when
they began to switch their tails back
and forth in a way that he knew BODIED
no good for him. So he began to back
slowly at first. but like locomotive
gaining from momentum. When he
got what he thought was a good start
he faced about and fed ingloriously for
camp. l have no doubt but what he
can be induced to give Teddy Roose-
welt details in case the vice president
would like to try the experiment.

A VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE
AT THE OPERA HOUSE
The Andrews Opera Company Gives
Conscientious, Tuneful Opera in a
Spirited Way.

"Erminie" was billed for the second
performance of the Andrews Opera com
pany at the Myar opera house last
| night but the program was changed
and THE Mikado" substituted. The
reason as announced from the stage
was that Francis Wilson, who first
produced it and owns it, had prohibited
them from playing it from now on,
since he himself was about to come
| this way. The change was pleasant
one for the audience. for the remarkab-
ly clever lines of Gilbert and the de-
| lightful harmony of Sullivan never cloy
the musical appetite and the numbers
were enthusiastically encored through
out.
Taken as a whole. the opera was
most artistically given. All the prin-
cipals had a good conception OF their
individual roles and the choral sing
ing was given with fine attack and
splendid volume. considering the size
of the troupe. The title role was Ia
ken by Sidney Bartlett, and though his
voice is not one of great volume, his
interpretations of the benign monarch
whose endeavor is ito make the pun
ishment fit the crime" was very ar
tistic.
The Ko-Ko of Mr.. Andrews stamps
that gentleman an an operate COM
eQ1an OF the NTSI TdHh his lHtci pi c
tation kept the house on the broard
grin from the moment he came on I'M

James Stevens as POO-Bah. He has
full rich baritone voice and he never
forgot for one moment the full dignity
of "a man with pedigree" The ten

dramatically. She was well supported
by Miss Edith Stevens and Miss Nellie
Andrews as Peep Bo and Petit-Sing.
Katisha-by reason of her unlovelineSS
is difficult and unattractive part. but
Miss Florence Clayton succeeded in
winning the entire approval of the au-
dience.
The company can certainly be COM
for the conscientious manner
in which the operas they present are
given. Though the troupe is not a
large one the members all have good
voices and give honest as we'll as ar
tistic work. THE Mikado" will be
presented again this afternoon and
Carmen tonight. The house should
be filed for the company deserves it.
