Owing to the long transportation and

of an empire directed by one man,

making a royal progress through
Southwest Texas and explained in
brief that his plan was to buy up three
or four counties and establish vast
colony of English yoemanry. He
travelled in a private car we'll stocked
with champagne and the choicest
viands. Abilene and other towns had
vision of all this grandeur and lis
tened to some tall talk in rich Irish
brogue, wherein King Edward, Pier
pont Morgan. H. Clay Pierce and
few other celebrities figured. Some
cold. cruel, hard-hearted gentleman
undertook to telegraph few inquiries
about Sir Thomas" which caused
that gentleman to depart very sud
denly, leaving his private car and
champagne behind An investigating
committee and the public are still on
his trail and the tea growing empire
will never materialize.

modern Don Quixote IN the person Of
Sr. Mazentine Juan du Los Santes of
Madrid, Spain, has arrived in Texas
and is laying claim to thirty acres of

pretty much all of the city of Austin
