back hip and shoulders.
suit against the Houston and
Texas Central railroad company to
recover damages in the sum of $10,-

iIi.ure his neck, back and kidneys.
The accident occurred on or about

car at Miles, Texas, with goods and
livestock for shipment to Ennis. He

WILL NEVER SURRENDER
Attempt by Officers to Serve Writ
of Injunction Creates Queer
Situation in the Alamo
City.

San Antonio, Texas, Feb. Ii
The historic old Alamo, where IT'S
Texans were besieged for twelve
days by 1000 Mexicans seventy-two
years ago, is again besieged. Holding
the fort is lone woman, Miss Adj
ma De Zavala, a grand daughter of
the late General De Zavala, a Texas
hero Besieging her is deputy
sheriff and several assistants, armed
with an injunction from a Houston
Judge Miss De Zavala is behind bar
ricaded doors inwdarkness, and de-
clines to answer the summons of the
sheriff. AS in war times, all commun-
ication has been cut away from the
defense. However, the old fort is be-
ing held with the same dogged per-
sistence which characterized Stoes-
sells defense at Port Arthur.
This episode is one in the long
chapter of incidents which have
marked the efforts of two factions of
women to control the Alamo and its
environments Miss De Zavala heads
the De Zavala chapter of the Daugh-
ters of the Republic; the opposing
forces comprise the membership OF

Fine Animal Stolen from Stable of
/ Deputy Sheriff Hickman.
A fine bay horse was stolen from
the stable of Deputy Sheriff Rush
Hickman Monday night. The animal
belonged to the officers father, Mr..
Joe Hickman, who rode it in Mon
day afternoon from his farm on
Grsve Greek TO attend the funeral
Tuesday morning of Mr. William
Schuster. When Deputy Sheriff Hick-
man went to the stable this morning
to feed the stall in which the horse
was placed for the night was empty.
That the animal was stolen is strong
ly evidenced by the fact that the
stable door and lot gate were secure
ly fastened There was no way for it
to get out without assistance. Des-
criptions Of the animal have been
sent to officers in adjoining coun-
ties.

THE TRAMP MAGAZINE.
Editor of the Vagabond Spepds a
Day in WaXahachie.

Day in Waxahachie.
Everett Lloyd, a young newspa-
per man of considerable versatility,
has the distinction of publishing the
only tramp magazine in existence. 1t
is known as "The Vagabond and is
published just anywhere as soon as
the editor reaches there from some
where else. Mr. Lloyd spent Tuesday
in Waxahachie in the interest of his
magazine, and favored this office
with a pleasant call. The Vagabond
has been printed in almost every
city of Importance IN the United
States The first number for Texas
was issued at San Antonio some
time ago. Mr.. Lloyd is now located
at Dallas temporarily where the
second Texas number was printed
Mr. Lloyd contemplates remaining
in Dallas until after the present
campaign. AS a special feature he is
printing Hon. w. A. Cookies book
on Joseph Weldon Bailey Unmask
ed" The book is being printed in
installments. Mr.. Lloyd has arranged
with local news dealers to place the
Vagabond on sale in Waxahachie.
The Vagabond is of special inter-
est to Ellis countians by reason of
the fact that its editor is a native of
! the county, having been raised in
! the town of Italy.

More than year ago the women

and since that time there has been
much litigation over the famous old

Just where the long, drawn-out
conflict is to end is still a matter of

ultimatum at midnight saying that
she would never surrender The enc

WIZARD OF ELECTRICITY.
Thomas A. Edison Celebrates His
Sixty-first Birthday.

Sixty-first Birthday.
Orange, N. j., Feb. 11.-Thomas
Alva Edison, the wizard of the age
of electricity, today observed his 61st
birthday. Although he has achieved
financial independence through his
hundreds of inventions, the aged
wizard is still busily engaged on
many projects which will be of the
greatest benefit to humanity. OF
late he has spent considerable
portion of his time in investigating
the possibilities latent in concrete as
a house building material, and he
has perfected machinery whereby
such houses may be nodded quickly
and in an economical manner Sew
eral other ideas are revolving in the
fertile brain of the wizard and if his
life is spared for another decade it
is likely that he will again startle
the world with some revolutionary
product of his genius.
Mr.. Edison was born at Milan, O.,
February II, 1S47. He began his
business career at the age of II as a
newsboy. When still youth he be-
came telegrapher and it was while
engaged in this occupation that he
became interested in the marvels of
electricity and commenced the career
The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1908-02-11

as an inventor which has made his
name famous throughout the world.
The wizard attributes his long life
and the preservation of the activity
larity of his habits. He retires at
midnight and arises at $50, eats
but little and works almost inces-
sanity in his labratory from s in the
morning until 7 in the evening Re-
Gently the wizard formulated some
regulations for a long and useful
of his fellow Americans
Let me impress one all important
that you observe most rigidly the
rule of hygiene regarding careful and
| moderate eating. Fully 80 per cent
of the illness of mankind comes from
, eating improper food or too much
food. People are inclined to over
indulge themselves in this respect
days. ! have always been a light eat
er, and l fully appreciate the fact the
sole purpose of food is to preserve
the chemical energies and keep the
human machine going.
Where there is no drain on the
system the minimum amount of food
will do. Even the Italian laborers
are able to preserve their muscular
tissue on a small amount OF bread
hard.
Then why is it necessary for
the business man to eat great guam
titles of food when there is no drain
on his system? Elaborate dinners are
| a curse Many business men eat
enough to supply a regiment. They
| are clogging up their boilers by do
/ ing so and will live to regret it.
Another important rule to OBJ
serve is this: Get out of bed as soon
| as you open your eyes in the morn
| ing. Don't lie in bed and wait to see
| if you cannot go back to sleep again.
That is foolish thing to do Jump
and do something. anything. Be ac-
tive and alert, get your blood in cir
culation, leap right into the activi-
| ties of life the first thing and you
will soon see that your brain works
better.
There is absolutely no reason
why we should sleep, except that
our prehistoric ancestors got into the
habit OF sleeping. and we have never
broken ourselves of It, There is no
need of sleep now. We can turn the
darkness of night into the light OF
day by our electric lights, so why
should people sleep? believe that
if we had perpetual sunlight we
would in few carnations get over
this bad habit of sleeping.
Sleep dulls the intellect II peo-
pie would not sleep so long we
would develop into a stronger and
more intellectual race 1t fs well
known that the ant, one of the most
intelligent of insects, does not sleep.
