A Lasting Easter Gift.

An Easter present that will give real lasting pleasure is window box filled with growing plants. Cut flowers are ephemeral, and often the potted plant bought and sent as an Easter gift lasts but little while.
 These window boxes are a new de- parture for this purpose They are of rustic bark, oblong. square or round. as you choose. They should contain flowers of an enduring nature. A baby rambler rose. sweet alyssum, ferns. pansies. mignonettes and the bright yei- low genesta are all good. Sometimes the florist puts bit of Scotch heather in the box
 Such box set in sunny window would give pleasure all through the spring and later could be put outside, Boston Traveller.

late today surpassed all his previous
ex pleits for time and distance flight

lights were made at Fort Myer, Vir-
G inia, today, the first being OF ten min

purpose of showing what rate Of speed

flights OF the past three days. Today's
test demonstrated, according to the
viator's calculation. that the speed of
tn 9 seroplane during the record break
ing flights sf Wednesday and Thurs
day was 80. SIS miles an hour.
Before making the first flight, Mr..
Wright said:
IL want to make a flight of about
ten minutes in order to see how my
prdsent speed compares with what I
made at Kitty Hawk, N. Co.
Starting at 4:41 the acroplane mad .

were much long and therefore did net

Especial to the ARaUs.)

Austin, Texas, Sept. 11.-Ths 10 en-
ory of General Sam Houston sson il to
be perpetuated by monument ever
his grave at Huntsville. The Texas
Legislature last year appropriated $1O,-
900 to erect the monument and in
trusted the execution of it's will to the
governor. Progress in the plans has
ferenees of those interss ted in the pre-
jsct, and it is expected that little delay
will attend further preparations.
Pompeo Coppini, the San Antonio
sculptor, has been selected to design
the monument.
Sam Houston was the father OF the
State of Texas. From the time that
he was elected general, in 1888, until
he accomplished the annexation Of the
State, in lS4d, he was the guiding
spirit of its destinies, and piloted it
through great storm and stress to the
safe harbor of union with the United
States.
Houstonss career before he came to
Texas had been exciting and pictur-
esqus. In the war OF 1912 his bravery
drew Jackson, who always admired
Houston's remarkable powers.
In Tennessee Houston was district
attorney, congressman and governor
in the 20s, and when he LETT that State
he went to the Ceerokes tribe OF In
adopted in lais youth. For some years
he wore the Indian garb, and visited
President Jackson in that costume just
before he came to Texas. His career
in this State began as meinb Der of a
constitutional convention in 1888. Soon
aftsrward he was appointed general Of
Texas, and then oInmander- in ch ie
OF the army. Early in 1886 he was q
member of the Texas convention tx, at
passed a dec. aration of Independence.
and was appointed commander-in-
chief OF the republics army.
Santa Anna, with a Mexican force,
entered Texas, and in few days the
Alamo fort surrendered, and the Tex
ans in it. numbering nearly 200, and
including Davy Crockett, Col. Bowie
and other famous fighters, were
slaughtered in cold blood.
Thenesferth the battle cry OF the
forces that Houston led was "Remem-
Der the Alamo" and before the end Of
April Houston had scored q complete
vietery over the Mexicans and Santa
Anna was captured.
Houston began his agitation for
union with the United States as early
as 1888, when he left the presidency,
and persisted in it after his election te
the chief magistracy again in 1S41 ,sm-
p1oying great diplomatic art to over
come opposition.
