ORDERED BY GOVERNMENT.

Little Italy has two mysteries
cleared up, and breathes more freely.
One is why Angelina Pascalini worked
so hard and spent so little, and the
other is why Angelina Pascalini al
ways insisted on seeing the papers
that are printed in English, which Ian
guage everybody knew Angelina could
not read. Angelina is now married
and the two mysteries deal with this
marriage.
In order that it may be known who
Angelina is, let it be stated that he
hailed from Genoa, in Big Italy-from
Genoa where the sun shines brightly
and the sky is tinted blue and red;
where men work slowly and live easily,
the money is very scarce. In the
course of the eighteen years which had
rolled over Angelino's head before a
far-seeing padrone packed him into
the steerage of a very uncertain ship
and sent him sailing over the billy
water to America, 1t may be doubted
if Angelina had seen altogether of his
own as much money as the equivalent
of five dollars. Nevertheless, he had
been happy in Genoa until he met
Nina-Nina, whose mother came from
Spain.
After he met Nina, by his own &C.
count, Angelina was no longer happy.
He realized then how very poor he
was, and how far away was marriage
with Nina. He worked as hard as he
could, and ate even more sparingly
than was the wont of his countrymen
of the black bread and garlic. and
drank less of the bitter red wine.
Nevertheless, his hoard increased
but slowly, and Angelina grew desper-
ate. He sought Nina, and told her Of
the padrone. He would go to America.
She looked at him wonderingly with
her big black eyes, and promised to
wait.
Angelina, having made his adieus
and stuck one last candle under the
portrait of his patron saint went
away to America.
His welcome in this country dis
pleased Angelina. He liked ice and
snow little, but the jeers of the people
he liked even less. True, the land
was discovered by one of his country
men, named Columbus, four hundred
years before. But Angelina did not
know this, and it would not have made
much difference if he had. Those who
had profited by Columbus discovery
disliked Columbus countrymen, and
Angelina was made to suffer their dis
like.
However. he worked on railroads,
and in other way, until his debt to
the padrone was paid, and then he
began to work for himself. Despite his

however, with its sister states. This
patriotic state celebration occurred on
April p, the SEVENTEEN anniversary of
the fight at the San Jacinto where 500
Texans gave double their number of
MeXicans one of the completest drub-
bings in military history.
Every schoolboy knows the story of
San Jacinto as told in the books. But
there is in the Southwest fire-side
tale about it which deserves to be bet
ter known. 1t is that the night before
the battle, the Mexican general. Santa
Ana, sent a flag of truce to the Texan
camp with summons to surrender
and an offer of pardon. Grim old Sam
Houston, the father" of Texas, heard
the message and said to one of his
aids:
Tell him to go to hell! Put that
into Spanish" And the aid, trans
ating the answer into the language of
Spanish military diplomacy, made or
alton as it appears in the books:
General Houston prays that you
Will have the kindness to present his
compliments to General Santa Ana,
inform him that General Houston re-
grets to be constrained to reply that if
General Santa Ana desires our com
pany it Will be necessary for him to
condescend to give himself the trouble
OF coming and getting u.s."
The biggest celebration of San ia
cinto day was at San Antonio, for
there is the Alamo, and there was the
fight which came before San Jacinte-
and turned the blood of every Texan
engaged to fire and his nerves to cold
steel.
The defenders of the Alamo, though
bound by no law like those of Their
mopylae. disdained to surrender. They

who asked:

Few persons, who, on visits to the
House of Representatives, see Mrs.
Henry n. Couden, wife of the blind
chaplain, fail to be impressed by her
gentleness and dignity. With unfail-
Ing fidelity she accompanies her hus-
band to the door of the House, and
after resigning him into tue lands of
n page she waits in the lobby until
the end of his prayer. Then she ac-
companies him home. Mr.. Couden
seldom fingers in the House after his
prayer is finished, but few of the
legislators, from the speaker down to
the youngest recruit. fail to salute him
and his gentle little wife. Mrs. Couden
resembles a Dresden figure in her
Powered silk and oldfashioned bonnet.
She cares not for changing styles, but
year after year she wears n simple
gown of silk, with black bonnet tied
under her chin with Powered ribbons.

A portrait of the son and heir of The
Gar of Russia recently made public
seems to belle the statements issued
from abroad that the infant CZarevI ch
is deaf mute and an IDIOT. The baby
prince is unusually bright and has
never had days illness in his %
months of existence, though many
papers have often reported him as be-
ing in an extremely critical condition.
Czarevitch Alexis, as he is officially
known, was born on August -, 1901,
at the very darkest moment of The
fortunes Of Russia during the war
with Japan. Notwithstanding the
trouble sometimes through which the
Russian government has passed, the
infant who will some day succeed to
the throne of the Russian government
has thriven in adversely. The ac-
companying portrait was taken at the
Russian Palace at the express wish of
the Empress.
