A Giffen Benefit.
The Giffen Company will give benefit
performance next Monday evening Tor
Brook Avenue kindergarten and Night
School.
The play for that occasion will be
"Davy Crockett and If 1t has anything
of the real Crockett in 1t, 1t ought to in
terest every one in the city. 1t was Davy
Crockett who said: BE sure you're right
and then 70 ahead.'' and 1t was also
David Crockett who died a hero's death
at the memorable massacre Of the Alamo
in San Antonio, Tex, when Santa Anna,
with his Mexican hordes, finally broke
into the fort successfully defended by
Travis and his hundred and seventy-hve
Americans for eleven days.
The custodian of the Church Of the
Alamo, now owned by the State Of Texas,
will rouse from his. usual distracted man
ner to point out to his visitor the last spot
where Crockett stood In the death strug-
gle. He removes his pipe from his mouth
long enough to say. thoughtfully: He
was brave man. was Dary. Eth. sirs.
but. there were giants In his days! Hap
pen you'll find naught but pigmies now
And, with q sigh he takes up his pipe
again.
