The Lone Star of rc.a..

The origin of the Lone Star flag Of
the republic of Texas is not entirely
clear. The claim has been made that
it WAS unfNrled In the present territory
Of Louisiana in 1870 but other search
ers cannot find earlier trace of it than
the presentation of such banner to
the company Of Captain Andrew Rob
inson in May, 1885. Still another claim
is made for flag unfurled at Vclasco
Jan. 8, 1896, and said to have been
made by Miss Troutman of Nashville,
Ga. One story has 1t that the star
came from the fact that Governor
Smith, for lack Of a seal. used brass
button from his cont which bore five
pointed star.-St. Louis Republic.

They glanced at the turbid retreat
of the tide over the submerged rocks.
The sea was heavier, the noise louder,
now that they listened to it, than when
they arrived in the Daisy, little more
than an hour earlier. Some giant force
seemed to be wrestling there, raging
against its bonds. striving feverishly
to tear, rend, utterly destroy its invisl-
BILE letters. Sometimes. after an un-
usually impetuous surge. dark shape,
trailing witch tresses of weed, showed
for an instant in the pit of the cal
lron. Then Il mad whirl of water
would pounce OH it with fearsome
spring and the fang Of rock would be
slLothered ten feet deep.
For some reason they did not talk.
They were fascinated by the power,
the grandeur. the unframed energy of
the spectacle. The voice of the reef
held them spellbound. They listened
mutely.

ease:

He did not trouble to examine the

familiar to him. Its definite below or

The Word "caps,.c.v

Etymologists are driven to pure con-
lecture to explain the origin of the
word "capsize." One Of them suspects
that it comes from the Spanish Ian
guage, as so many sailors words do,
and may be connected with "caDe-
Gear" to nod the head In sleep or to
pitch as ship. and with "capuzar TN
baxel," to sink II ship by the head
"cabeza" meaning head. Another guess
based on the fact that "capsize" is an
English dialect word for moving n
hogshcad by turning 1t over alternate
ly on to its two heads-is that the word
Is simply cap" n head, and seize"

The training Of the young New
foundlands that are periodically added
to the staff is one of the sights Of
Paris. 1t takes place in the headquar-
tiers Of the agents plongeurs, a small
building on the quayside not far from
the Cathedral Of Notre Dame. Dogs
and men enter into the exercise with
zest, and there is usually a crowd Of
onlookers. Only dummy figures are
used, but the rescue" Is nevertheless
a very realistic affair. The big dogs
know perfectly well what the exercise
means, and they wait with comic en-
thusiasm until the dummy is thrown
into the water and an agent plongeur
PUSHES out on hearing the splash and
the 0utcry Of spectators. While the
men are busy with lines and life buoys
the dog plunges into the water, swIms
TO the dummy, watches with rare in
telligence for an opportunity to get an
advantageous hold, and then it either
swims ashore or waits for its master
who brings to the rescue long poles,
cork belts and the like. The more ex-
perienced dogs, however, will easily
effect rescue from first to last with.
out human assistance, and it is an IN
spring sight to watch them looking
for foothold on the slippery sides of
the river bank and pulling the heavy
dummy into place Of safety.
1t takes about four months to train
the dogs efficiently. They are also
charged with the protection of their
masters when attacked by the des-

Vessel Representing German
Government viii Spend
Nine Days Here.

The German cruiser Bremen, the
fine representative of the German
navy, which visited this port two
years ago, is to arrive here on a visit
ON January 31st. 1t was known some
days since that the cruiser was to
pay another visit to the port Glripg
the next few months, but the exact
date was not known.
According to advices received by
the customs officials the cruiser will
arrive on January 31st, and remain
here until February 9th, more ex-
tended visit than on the former cruise
to gulf ports. This news will be re-
ceived with much qualification by the
citizens of Pensacola, especially the
German residents, who anticipate the
visit of the cruiser with much pleas
ure The officers and men made many
friends upon their former visit to this
port, and it is expected that several
entertainments in their honor will be
given during the coming visit.

connection with the Mihaly and other
incidents. He made a diagram of the
roads between Laurel Hill and Flor
ala and indicated thereon his route

With reference to this matter Mr.. Gal
lagher stated that there had been a
great deal of stealing going on at the
camps and that Mihaly was suspected;
when the latter left the camp it was
believed that he had taken some of
the stolen goods with him and the
pursuit and capture was because of
this belief. He admitted that DR..
Grace had a revolver in his hand at
the time Mihaly was overtaken, but
claimed that the doctor was only wip-
ing it of as it had gotten wet during
a rain storm. AS to the whipping, Mr.

at Mihaly as the latter had attacked
