Texas Doctor a PICTURESQUE Figure

physician is held by his neighbors il
attested in a way by the fact that he
was urged to make the trip to Wash.
ington by and at the expense of his
friends in and near San Marcus. The
fund to pay the expense of the trip
was not contributed by any one philan-
throphically inclined person, but by
the entire community. The money was
raised by a popular subscription.
The doctor came to Washington on
the special train of the Texas delega.
ton, and during the week was an in.
terested, as we'll as an interesting, par.
ticipator in the proceedings and DEM
onstrations Of the congress.
Another enthusiastic Texas delegate
was DR.. w. T. Jones of Fort Davis.
The day before DR.. Jones left his home
at Fort Davis to come to Washington
he rode horseback IS miles into tho
country to see patient. The round
trip was 80 miles. The following day
he rode 60 miles to the railroad Sta
ton, where he joined the other dele
gates bound for Washington. The doc
tor, being used to such experiences,
was not greatly fatigued by his two
trips through the country.

an went on, Il believe it was the prAvi-
lege of the 'beaux' to pay all the ex-
penses of the spree when they took
the girls to balls and rooms. Not so
in 1908. It's Thanksgiving day to
girl if she can corral a partner for The
cotillion, even when she pays her own
subscription fee and supplies her OWD
carriage and flowers. 1t takes money
to be girl nowadays. For example,
one can't be anybody and not be a

work. This commission was appoint
ed pursuant to an act of the last legis-
lature for the purpose of securing a
monument of the famous leader of the
First Minnesota. The statue is to be
placed on his grave at Cannon Falls,
where the citizens have made a small
park. A replica will be the first of a
number of statues of famous Mime
sotans to be placed in the rotunda of
the state capitol.
The commission went to Chicago a
week ago to examine the clay model
prepared by Mrs. Backus, and were
pleased with it. The statue repre-
sents Col. Colvill in his uniform stand
ing alone, looking directly ahead, with
one hand on the unsheathed sword.
The completed statue will be eight
feet four inches high and the two will
cost $3.50.
