A CHAPTER OF ExPIRATIoNs.-In a
certain Midland police court not long
ago, an ironworker appeared to answer
a charge of keeping dog without a IL
cense.
The defendant was disposed to inter-
rupt the police constable, while that
worthy was giving his evidence, but on
being pulled up by the magistrate he
decided. as he put it. Ito give 'em plen-
ty of rope"
At length his chance came. The mag
istrate's clerk turned to him and ask
ed:
"Do you wish the court to understand
that you refuse to renew your dog IL
cense?"
"Yes, but
1--WE want no butts Renew the IL.
cense or you will he fined. You know II
has expired?"
Yes, but
But what?"
$50 has the dog! Shall be fined fol
that too, unless I renew the dog?"
The court thought not, and as the ami
NAL had been dead six months the case
was dismissed. -Tit-Bits.

1t then proceeds to state concisely
and vigorously sixteen separate points
in which the government Of Mexico had
failed in it's duty to Texas. It then
states that these and other grievances
were patiently borne until they reached
the point at which forbearance ceased
to be virtue" It declares that the Tex
ans took up arms in defense Of the
National Constitution"-that is, the
constitution of Mexico-but that now
"the necessity of self-preservation de-
crees an eternal political separation"

decision Of the Supreme Arbiter Of the

After all. however, one cannot help
feeling that this declaration Of inde-
pendence was largely a matter Of form.
Practically speaking the connection
with the mother country had already
been severed. There had been some
months Of actual fighting. The bat
ties of Conception, Goliad and Con-
zales had already been fought. San
Antonia had already been captured by
the Texans and recaptured by the Mex
leans. At the very time the conven-
ton was in session, Travis, Bowie
Crockett and their brave followers were
making their last heroic stand at the
Alamo. On Sunday, March 6, the last
letter written by Travis was received
When the president read the message
one member sprang to his feet and
moved that the members Of the conven-
ton arm themselves and march imme.
diately to the Alamo to relieve Travis
Sam Houston opposed this. He claimed
that the first duty Of the convention
was to establish a government and 6
constitution. He offered to collect
troops himself and march to the relief
This he did, but all too late. On the
night of the very day when they were
discussing it-Sunday, March 6, 1886
the final attack was made. All the
world knows the result. The Alamo
fell, but its glorious fall made forever
impossible the failure Of Texan inde
pendence, so peacefully declared in th'
quiet town Of Washington only a few
days before.-St. Louis Globe-Demo

LIFE AT WEST POINT.

Cadets Have to Work Hard, and
There Is Little Time For Frolic.
In describing the daily life Of cadet
1t Is unfortunately necessary at the
outset, to refute the idea that this life
is made up largely of leisure and frolic.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. No college in the country man
ages to crowd into course of four
wears so extensive a curriculum. Yet,
in addition to all the long hours spent
in study and recitation, every cadet Is
obliged to master thoroughly all the
intracacies Of the drill, minor tactics,
the outdoor application Of academic
studies, and, in general, the essentials
Of a sound technical and military train
ing.
A young man there is obliged to rise
at 6 o'clock every morning, except Sum
day, when he may stay abed until Z.
Just enough time Is allowed him In
which to dress properly, and to "po-
lice" the room which he shares with
another cadet. Policing" consists In
what would be called chamber work In
civil life, but in no hotel in the country
is this work so systematically and tidily
performed as by cadets. for in the army
neatness is insisted on as one Of the
first duties of a soldier.
BY the time the police work Is over
the battalion forms and marches to
breakfast in the cadet mess hall. After
the meal 40 minutes are allowed for
rest and recreation.
Punctually at 8 o'clock the sections
file to the various recitation rooms for
the first recitations, an hour and half
in length. Sections alternate in hours.
After II o'clock recitations are an hour
long.
For two and one-half hours in the
morning, cadets are subjected to long
series Of mental ordeals, the interven-
ing hours being used for study. There

TExAs'S OWN FOURTH.
Why March 2 In a Holiday In the
Lone Star State.

Why March In a Holiday In the
Lone Star State.
Few Americans are aware that in one
of the greatest states of the Union the
I'd day of March is a legal holiday.
Some would be mystifed If told, fur
thermore. that this is the date Of the
Declaration of Independence Of one part
Of the American nation. Such, how
ever, are the facts. The state is Texas.
What the Fourth of July is in the his
tory of the thirteen original colonies,
the I'd of March is in the history of
Texas.
The opening of the year 1886 found
Texas in quite an anomalous condition.
She was engaged in active fighting
against Mexico, and yet seemed to have
no other idea than that of remaining
a portion Of Mexico. In November Of
the preceding year a gathering known
as the general consultation had been
held at San Felipe. The name consul
tation was applied to this because the
Mexicans were prejudiced against con-
ventions." This one fact shows how
anxious the Texans were to retain the
favor Of Mexico. The consultation
even appointed temporary governor
and council but it yet recognized the
authority Of Mexico. Provision was
made for another council, to meet the
lst of March of the next year. On
February l, an election was held, and
5S were chosen as delegates to that
gathering.
These assembled March l in the pic
turesque old town of Washington, on
the Brazos. The next day they unani-
mously adopted declaration Of lrdc-
pendence. 1t was written by George C..
Childress, and is considered a strong

Is no chance for cadet, even If he Is
so disposed, to shirk his recitations. He
cannot offer the excuse Of mot pre-
pared" He must be ready. There is no
hope for him to escape unnoticed in
the recitation room, for each class Is d.
vided into sections, these sections con-
sist usually of eight men, and never
more than twelve.
The professors and instructors have
abundant time to draw out Of each man
Just what he knows Of the subject un-
der discussion. Nor is there any hope
of hiding ignorance by asking the in
structor what he means by a question.
All the professors and instructors are
conversant with these little articles Of
the classroom, and such an attempt
on the part Of the cadet would be sure
to rebound upon the Offenders head.
The motto for academic work is, "Ev-
cry cadet, every day, and the stand
ard, Every cadet proficient in every
thing"
From the strain of five hours mental
work in the morning, the only cadet
who can expect to escape is the one
who answers the "sick call" at 7.1O a.
m, and is excused from duty. If he is
i'll, the young man is taken into the ca
det hospital; but, If his illness Is slight,
he is ordered to keep to his quarters,
and is excused from all work until his
name is stricken from the "sick re-
port"
Each cadet is supposed to make up
the time lost when he becomes Ill. If
he cannot do this, he Is either turned
back to the class next below, or else is
summarily dismissed from the acade-
my for deficiency.-Success.

SHE LOST NoTHING.-A distinguished
naval officer was telling this story on
himself the other evening to gather
ing of his friends. At the time of his
marriage he had been through the Civil
war and had had many narrowing ex-
periences aboard ship, through all Of
which he kept his courage and re-
mained as calm as brave man should.
AS the time for the ceremony came on,
however, his calmness gradually gave
way. At the altar, amid the blaze OF
brass buttons and gold lace marking
the naval wedding, the officer was all
but stampeded, and what went on there
seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement Of the moment
would temporarily take him off his feet,
the officer had learned the marriage
ceremony letter perfect, as he thought,
and he remembered repeating the words
after the minister in a mechanical sort
of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again, including the officers
state of mind, the kindly clergyman
came up to him and touched him on
the shoulder.
Look here, old man." he said, you
didn't endow your wife with any world
ly goods"
Whats that?" asked the bride
groom, with something of astonishment
in his voice.
why, I repeated the sentence With
all my worldly goods thee endow' sew
eral times, and despite my efforts you
would not say 1t after me-"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed for
a moment, and then a beaming light
came into his face.
Never mind, sir" he said, "she did
not lose a blessed thing by my failure. ;.

"a Years ago there was a brusque old
admiral upon whom many stories were
told-in most cases true ones.
At one time, when the war ship of
which the admiral was in command was
off the coast of Portugal, the king of
that country expressed desire to visit
an American man-of-war.
The admiral received the party with
great cordiality, but instead Of address
ing the royal visitor as Your Majesty"
or Your Highness,' he invariably call
ed him king"
1t was, Step this way, King" Look
out for your head, King" when showing
him about the vessel, and before his
Majesty departed the admiral con-
vulsed all within hearing by saying
Hospitality: King, come down in the
cabin and have a drink" ."-Lipincott'
