1t is quite certain that no popular
orator Of modern times could so sway
a frontier audience as he.
IL used TO be said that there were
two things that could always draw a
crowd in Texas-a circus and Sam
Houston.
His character had its limitations
which prevent his being reckoned
among the worlds great men. But it
will not be denied that he was a
strong man, capable of great achieve
ment, and in spite Of his weaknesses,
practical, had a wise conception Of
craftsmanship and policies, was
courageous, patriotic and devoted to
the welfare Of the people.
He was type of his time and cir
cumstances and by his capacity, ener-
gy and individuality made his impress
upon the epoch in which he lived.
He has marked place In the heroic
period OF the nations history for what
he represented and for what he did.

WORTH ssOO,Ooo, 900.

The President of q certain big Oil con-
pany is said to be worth $500, 900, goo. A
tidy bit Of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles Of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better rstill, divide thsmoney among
the members of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but IL does. All the same
Ihave seen plenty Of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.
It may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism ; IL may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting Don't bother with
salves, liniments, lotions, etc. or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on q Benson's. It relieves at once
and cures quickly. It stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling oft But watch out against i'm
itations and substitutes. All druggists, OF

ordered in the United States on receipt of

MISS PEARL CAMPBELL MARRIED
Former Mexico Girl, Eighteen Years
Of Age, Weds a WidOwer, Father
Of Three Children-Was an
Elopement

Miss Pearl Campbell, formerly OF
this city, figured in an elopement in
st. Louis Thursday The Republic
says Of the instance:
James W. Beall and his wife, who
was Miss Pearl Campbell prior to 10
O'Clock Thursday night, stood on the
corner of Sarah street and Laclede
avenue yesterday morning for thirty
minutes waiting for the consent OF the
brides parents to enter their home at
No. 4046 Laclede avenue.
Mr.. and Beall were married at Clay
ton Thursday night by Judge Nc
chimney, who obligingly adjourned
an evening session of court to preform
the ceremony. They had started out
earlier In the evening for a street car
ride and said, when they reached Clay
ton, that the resolution to marry i'm
mediately was the result of a hasty
decision, reached after leaving the
house. After the ceremony was over
they telephoned to Mr.. and Mrs.
Campbell, asking them If they could
return for the night They UNDER
stood the return message to be that
Mrs. BealI could come, but she must
come alone.
They then registered at the Hotel
Autenrieth and came to st. Louis
yesterday morning to seek forgiveness.
Mr.. Beall got friend to go into the
house and inform the BRIDES parents
that they were waiting for their bless
ing. After some minutes Mrs. Camp
bell induced her husband to permit
them to come home.
"Mr. Beall was a widower, IS years
old and the father Of three children"
said Mrs. Campbell to a Republic re-
porter last night, "while Pearl is only
IS years old. For that reason we we're
opposed to the match. His oldest
child is II years old, and we thought
1t to much responsibility for one of her
age to assume. Mr.. Beall lived In
Texas until about eight months ago,
when he came to st. Louis, and had
since been boarding here. / wanted
them to come home as soon as l heard
they were married, because / thought
we might as we'll make the best Of It.
My Oldest daughter died about one
year ago, and since then / had my
hopes centered In PEARL
Mrs. Campbell's husband ]. p.
is contractor. They came
to st. Louis from Mexico, Mo-, three
years ago.

Arthur Atkins and Miss Rosa May

Cluster, Of this city.
Mr.. Atkins is trusted employe Of

the bride is the beautiful and accom-.

That their lives may be as bright

joyed the hospitalities OF the pleasant
occasion,

The Mexico Coal Dealer Receives
Letter From Pennsylvania Smith.

Z. T. Smith has received another
letter In reference to the incident OF
Mrs. A. ]. Smith, of Pennsylvania,
calling on him and stating that be
was one Of the heirs to big fortune.
The letter follows and the reference
to the enclosed indicates the enclos.
ure Of a clipping from a Sunbury pa

some time ago:
SUNBURY, Pa, Jan. 9, 1902.-The
enclosed will explain my writing you.
/ am anxious to trace the ancestry Of
the Smith family as far back as l
can. | am able to trace back to my
great grandfather, whose first name
was John. He had two sons and one
daughter. One son, my grandfather,
whose name was James, moved from
Burks county to Sunbury, Pa, about
17s6 or 1851. His brother, John,
moved about the same time to or
near, Carlisle, Pa.
The "Sunbury, Pa, mention In the
newspaper clipping, no doubt, is, sun
bury, Butler county, Pa. The post
Office is called Coultersville, and the
General A. ]. Smith mentioned in the
same article commanded a brigade in
the Vicksburg campaign. l served
under him for a short time in 1851.
/ want to add that my ancestry
came from Scotland in the early part
of seventeen hundred.
Trusting you will reply and give me
what information you can, am,
