HUMoR WASTED ON INDIAN.
Mr.. Glover Gave Mr.. Grass the Hey"
But He Didn't Cut Any
Fodder.

Sam 7. Clover was sent out to Dakota tome
years ago by Chicago paper when Sitting
Bull was threatening to 60 on the war
path. John Grass was another Indian at
that time enjoying temporary fame, re-
lates the New York Tribune.
The trouble was soon adjusted, but be-
fore Mr.. Clover left it occurred to the
army officers that an opportunity for =
meeting between the journalist and the
last-named savage was too good to be
lost. Accordingly, without any hint to
the principals, Capt. Maus called in the
red man and said:
Mr.. Clover, this is MIR. Grass"
Hey? promptly returned the former,
placing his hand behind his ear.
But the incident convinced me-" Mr..
Clover says, in relating it, that it Il
hopeless to expect to civilize the Indian.
Mr.. Grass never cracked a smile. He
looked at me with a scowl, and didn't even
grunt. He couldn't have taken it any
harder if | had been MIR. Scythe or Col.

Dustless Roads for Francs.

The engineer for the Seine and ma.
rine departments in France reports
that trials OF mixture of oil and Pc
troleum as dust preventive have been
unsuccessful. In the summer of 1902
a coating of tar was tried on seven diff
ferent lengths Of road. After careful
investigation during a period of Il
months, it was found that dust and
mud had wholly disappeared and the
cost Of maintenance had been reduced.
The tar forms an elastic skin. which
deadens the sound Of traffic and re-
duces the resistance. It appears that
the tarring method involves no great
er outlay than that for coating with
Oil.

A meeting of the King
Daughters by order of the president
Saturday afternoon at 4:30, at the
residence of Mrs. Woodhouse.
Up to late hour this afternoon
the steamer was still outside and
the pilot boat had been unable to
communicate with her, therefore
no express or fruit is expected up
today.
Following is a list of the freight
brought from Galveston by the
steamer Manteo this trip: 700
sacks of oats, 1000 of sacks -four,
100 barrels of bottled beer and 800
sacks of rice.
The railroad is now finished
within less than fifty-nine miles of
Brownsville. Think of that! The
time IS fast drawing near when the
sweet sound of the engines toot-
toot will be heard in Brownsville.

KATY CONNECTION
WITH BROWNSVILLE
viii Build to Deep Water at Arkansas Pass
and Tap Lott Road at Refugio.

Recently the Star reproduced an
article from the Smithville Times
in which it purports to have inside
information that the Katy will soon
consider the idea of building to
Arkansas Pass and more especially
since it will now be able to tap the
Lott road at Refugio for the
Brownsville connection and a far
shorter route to Mexico than has
heretofore been possible. The very
gratifying information is given out
from another source that the gov
cslment improvement is rapidly
deepening the pass. Refugio is
next door to Arkansas Pass and a
glance at the map will show that
the road from Smithville, via Con-
zales, Cuero and Goliad to Refugio
is much straighter than railroads
commonly build in Texas and fur
therInore that Refugio is almost
north of Sinton which would make
the route from Smithville to
Brownsville virtually a north and
south line and direct enough for
all purposes. Thus the Refugio
connection with the Lott road and
the fast developing harbor of Aran-
sas Pass form a splendid double
purpose for the Katy to smoke up
and get in the game without further
delay. As has been heretofore
painted out in the Star the road
would cross portions of Bastrop
and Caldwell counties and would
traverse entirely Gonzales and
Dewitt, all rich lands and in a
high state of development, touching
Gonzales and Cuero, two of the
tsst towns in south Texas, with
water power already developed
which give them practically un-
limited possibilities in the manufac-
turing line, besides the extensive
irrigation which is setting in here.
Then we have Goliad and Refugio
with vast bodies of the finest lands
in Texas which only await the
magic touch of such road as the
Katy to be thrown open to settle.
