NEWS IN BRIEF
\ Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by a Caucasian Representative.

Seventy-one years ago on the 9th OF
March was fought the battle OF the
Alamo, an event like Marathon, always
to be remembered as proof Of what
brave men can do. The heroes of the
Alamo were American frontier s.nen. Al
though Texans, their home was not 4
part OF the Union until nine years later.
These men, less than two hundred in all,
held the Alamo, an old Spanish mission
converted into nlakesiliit fortress,
against seven thousand Mexican soldiers
until, outnurnbered twenty to one, and
refusing to surrender, they died fighting
to the last man.
The Mexicans were routed at San ia
cinto, their commander taken, and the
battle cry of the Texans in that engage
nent was remember the Alamo" Nor
has the State in whose cause the defend
ers OF the old mission died forgotten
them "Thermopylae had three messen-
gers of defeat; the Alamo had none.
Texas inscribed that sentence on the
commemorative shaft raised at Austin.
Joaquin Miller III his commemorative
poem on the Alamo says:
Santa Anna came storming as storm
might come;
There was a rumble of cannon; there
was a rattle of blade.
There was cavalry, infantry, bugle and
drum
Full seven thousand in ponp and par
ade
The ckivalry, flower of Mexico and a
gaunt two hundred in the Alamo.
Then silence, such silencel two thous-
and lay dead
In crescent outside! And within? Not
breath
Save the gasp of woman with CORY
gashed head,
All alone, all alone there, waiting for
death
And she but a nurse. Yet when shall we
know
Another like this of the Alamo?
|
Shout victory, victory, victory no!
! say It's not always for the hosts to win,
j say that the victory, sudden, or slow,
Is given the hero who grapples with sin.
Or legion or single, just asking to know
When duty fronts death in his Alamo.

A sac, 1000 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work OF Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery OF the sub-treasury in
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the victim of a $4,000 theft about
80 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation Of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given. it was assumed
that 1t was the work Of some one I'M
connected with the office In which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,
however, before clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one OF the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle Of bills was ac-
quainted with a professional gambler
Of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted In catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar.
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be-
trayed, whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by
showing the package Of notes. all OF
large denominations, into a position
;There they could be "snaked up
with cane provided with hook.

ROMANTIC DEvONSHlRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'
Novels.

PhiIpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, "The River" Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 30 years l drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when realized this, made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, / concluded to
try 1t. l had 1t carefully made, accord
ing to directions. and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week, that ! no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heartburn, or brain
fag, and that could drink 1t at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
"Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use Of the old kind of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, result due
TO Postum Food Coffee, l am satisfied.
