ANA his two brothers, Stephen and

lhS was before the days when per-
cuSSlon caps were in general use, and
lhe smaller pistols of the period were
filhtlocks-inconvcnient TO carry and
not very reliable So the knife had to
oe used when one wanted really
trusty weapon.
James Bowie set to work and with
a pocket knife and shinglc he made a
model of the kind of knife that he be-
heved was about the proper thing for
the business he had on hand. The first
'bowle" was made by the local
blacksmith at Shreveport, La, after
the model furnished by James Bowie
and 1t was used by him for several
years. About 1880, however, Bowie
heard OF Il New Orleans cutler, a
Spanard named Pedro, who was max
ing knives of wonderful kind and
temper. They could DE driven through
a silver dollar without damage to
point or edge. This artist made
Bowie knife which was a marvel of
beauty and temper. The blade was
nlnc inches long, and, with the han
die, measured fifteen inches. This
weapon was used with telling effect
by Bowie in nineteen different ell
counters and it was the one in his
stiifcncd hand when, with six dead
MeXlcans about him showing the evi-
dence Of his fatal skill, he was found
dead at the Alamo.
Bowie's method Of using the knife
was one peculiar to himself. He dii
not hold it in his hand with the point
downward, but 2rasped the handle as
swordsman would grasp the hilt of
his sword. He always struck at the
neck of his man and aimed for the
Jugular, and seldom missed hsi coup.

The Sincere Farmers Advice.

Miss Julia Sanderson, the dainty, little
singer and dancer, tells of a situation
which she was called upon to face dur
ing the earlier part of her career
Miss Sanderson, in order to get a
thorough stage training, joined roper
toire company which was playing one
night stands through the middle west.
One of the plays this company put on
had q scene in which Miss Sanderson,
as the prosecuted daughter of a brutal
father was meeting clandestinely, her
sweetheart. whom the old man disliked.
The youthful lovers sat, holding hands
in the garden of the fathers home when
the latter slipped up behind them with
out their noticing him.
In Springfield, o., among the audience
was a long whiskered old farmer, who
had allowed his feelings to keep pace
with the thrills of the play. When the
latter reached this climax, the old man
could control himself no longer, and ris-
ing in his chair and shaking his first at
the stage father, he cried to the unsus-
pecting lovers:

doctor who stood there, and, before he
had time to speak, John Martin, in
burst of confidence which surprised him,
explained matters to him. And the doc
tor who under all his professional dig
nifty. was the most tender hearted of
men, understood. He saw the pathetic
side, he comprehended the longing to do
something for the loved one the inabil-
ity imposed by wealth, the perhaps ludi
crous but thoughtful way which love
had found out And there was no trace
of amusement in voice or face as he ex-
planned that he had called again, as
promised, to see the patient

ued, "and l am sure she would enjoy the
tea you have made for her far more than
anything else she could have. | will tell
the nurse you are going TO nave tea up
stairs with Mrs. Martin this afternoon"
The doctor was certainly a friend
worth having; how much he explained to
the nurse is not known, but she was not
visible when John proudly carried the
tray upstairs, and it may have also been
owing to the doctors maneuvering that
Perkins did not appear. And when John
Martin was safely settled by his wife's
bedside with little table before him.
and tea, his tea, upon it, the doctor said
good bye and went. As he closed the door
behind him he heard Mrs. Martin say,
in tones of enjoyment: why, John
dear, what lovely teal Where did you
get it? It has some taste to it, not like
that pale-colored stuff Mrs, Humphry al
ways orders"
And she heard the old mans proud
reply: 81 bought it myself, one and six
a pound A powerful blend, 'syrupy and
full favored was the label. 1t is good
and the toast, too, isn't it, old woman?"
The doctor smiled, but his eyes were
very tender looking. "A powerful blend"
he said to himself as he shut the front
door behind him; "surely love, added to
anything, makes that" - Philadelphia
