UNDER FIVE FLAGS
HISTORY OF OLD STONE FORT At
NACoGDOcHES.
Historical Souvenir of the Building
Recently Presented to the Alamo
Was Abiding Place Of
Many Patriots.

An historical souvenir OF the Old
stone fort at Nacogdoches was re-
Gently presented to the Alamo by
William H. and Walter T. Crouch,
says the San Antonio Express.
This interesting souvenir is made
of the historic wood of the old stone
fort of Nacogdoches, Tex.
1t is a gavel and block with photo
graphs of William H. Crouch and
Walter T. Crouch. The photographs
are inlaid on the block in the shape
of a five-pointed star. History states
in the necessity for an official seal,
Gov. Smith used a five-pointed brass
button cut from his old coat, thus
originating the beautiful emblem-the
five-pointed star.
There is not another building per
haps in the United States besides the
stone fort that could claim with GER
tainty the peculiar distinction of HAYS
ing in it's career floated from it's
rampartS at different times the ma
tional emblems of five different gov
ernments, of which two are foreign.
The national emblem of the stone fort
and those who claimed or sought pro-
lection therefrom was the Spanish
flag-the dual ensign of CASTLE and
Aragon. This flag had it's origin in
the uniform of CASTLE and Aragon by
the marriage of Ferdinand and 1sa-
bella. 1t was under it's protection
that the final plans of the Fredonians
were arranged after. the expulsion
and retreat of Piedros.
Here, also, in the summer of 1912
rested the army Of Magee Guiterros.
Tradition says the stone fort was Ma
gees headquarters and in n of it's
rooms he wrote three proclamations
to the people of Texas. Under its
folds Houston, Crockett, Bowie and
other heroes rested at sundry times.
1t Was here that Haden Edwards, the
distinguished old patriot who was

WHERE WOMAN is SUPERIOR.
Vegetarian Springs a Few Facts on
Astonished Companions.

Since the first of the year." he
said, Il haven't had a smoke, and I
haven't taken a drink"
Everybody looked at him with
amazement, respect and awe. How
strong-willed he must be, they said;
how a~scetic, how spiritual! 1t was ire
mendous.
"And yet" said a pale vegetarian,
cali women, or at least SO per cent. of
them, maintain this wonderful absti-
nence their whole life long. Why
don't you praise them for it,"
With his indicated handkerchief
he brushed the sneer from bis lips.
1--WE men," he said, beside women
are hogs. We call u women silly;
we won't give them the vote; but the
average oma lives on a higher
plane than the average man. She
thinks of nobler things than money
grubbing, drink, tobacco, food.
did you ever hear your wife
growl about the cooking? Did you
ever hear of a woman epicure? No;
woman is above the hoglike pleasures
of the table. She is above such a
tobacco and whisky a as is now
going on here"
The vegetarian put on his cap Of

warmth of the night, drew the flannel

A Fish Story.

"Trout protection! NONSENSE" said
q gunner of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their de%predations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for a
trout to jump from the water, seize a
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave it's feet sticking in the air, where
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown 1t. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at it's leisure and swims away
out of the Jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Toe
bad. This would be a match for one
of their fish stories"

Most Remarkable Band.

Probably the most remarkable band
on earth is that which is stationed in
the imperial palace at Moscow, says
Tit-Bits. A famous composer was
recently taken into a darkened room
to hear one of his new compositions
played by this band. The composer
was mystified until the lights were
raised, when 200 soldiers were re-
vealed each with a horn or trumpet
in his hand varying in size from one
and one-half inches to 20 feet. Each
instrument and each performer pro-
duced only a single note, but the play
ing was SO perfect that the sound was
just as if from one grand instrument
played upon by a master hand.

FAMILY's SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affec-
tons Afflict Different Members,
But Cuticura Cures Them.

my wife had eczema for five or six
years. 1t was on her face and would
come and go. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We
did so and she has never had a sign of
eczema for four years. / myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. I now
have a very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
feshy, and we had so much trouble
with heat that we would battle her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up so much quicker than any
thing else. MI. H. B. Springmire, 1923

Head CAUGHT In Rails.

During the course of a mission serv-
ice by the Capuchin Fathers at st.
Michael's Roman Catholic church at
Kingstown, Ireland, the other night,
a youth, who put his head through
the communion rails and could not
extricate it, alarmed the congregation
by his cries. A priest called a doc
tor from the congregation, but he was
unable to render assistance, and it
was only when two crowbars were
used to widen the rails that the boys
head was e~xtricated. The boy, who
was in a state of collapse, was re-
moved to the hospital.
