A Observation-Disclosures

A nine-months-old boy living in
Somerville, Mass, has developed
into a regular Sandow. He has a
name as substantial as his strength.
He has been christened John Dris-
coll Sweeney, and johnny" has
a pair of arms attached to a thirty
pound body that are marvellous.
His strength is extraordinary He
can hang from the top Of a door,
trapeze, mantel-in fact anything
on which he can obtain a grip with
his tiny hands. A feat performed
by them not long ago was hanging
from the tailboard of a wagon while
the horses moved at n brisk trot.
He swung back and forth perfectly
contented and apparently feeling
that he was in no danger Of falling.
The badly goes through a regular
course Of athletic training, with his
father as trainer. Every morning
he takes his exercise, going through
the test with wonderful enthusiasm.
The boy began to exhibit unusual
strength when he was three months
old, and since that time his mus
cles have developed until he is a
wonder.

NAY MAKE MEN POOR
States Action to Recover Land
Menaces Fortunes.

Austin, Texas, Aug. 20--If the
suits which Attorney General c. K.
Bell has instituted in behalf of the
state of Texas for the recovery OF
more than one million acres ofland
situated in Southwest Texas and for
damages aggregating several hun
dred thousand dollars from the indi-
vidual claimants of the property in
volved are successful, the school
fund will be enriched to the amount
of several millions of dollars and the
men who claim title to their respect
i've tracts of land on the ground that
it game from original Spanish or
Mexican grants, will in many in
stances, fall from wealth and aff1u-
ence to poverty.
Many titles to lands were issued
by the Spanish and Mexican gov
ernments before Texas obtained her
independence. Part of these titles
were achieved in the general land
Office but many were not. In 1850
the legislature of Texas passed law
creating a commission to investigate
these titles and determine which
were valid. In 1852 the legislature
validated the titles which had been
favorably reported on by this COM
mission. Several other acts were
subsequently passed under which
claimants to those titles which had
not been validated were authorized
to bring suit against the state for
the purpose of establishing titles
and many suits were brought, bY
there were still many tracts of lahd
which were held by parties Who
had no evidence on file in the gen.
eral land office of their right to the
land.
The last Legislature passed a law
giving such parties the privilege OF
institutingsuits against the state for
the purpose of establishing their IL
ties but no such suit has been insti-
tuted.. The same law makes it the
duty of the attorney general to insti-
tute suits to recover from the per-
sons in possession of lands where no
valid evidence of the titA Is under
which such persons claim found
in the records of the generN land
office 1t is under this provisS N of
the law that the recent suits We're
Instituted for the recovery of more
than one million acres of land and
for damages.
