SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF
ZION.

The Sons and Daughters of III
on held their regular monthly
meeting last Sunday at the rooms
of the Jewish Literary Society.
The business part of the meet
ing was somewhat brief owing
to the small amount of business
to be transacted. The Society is
continually making Roadway as
is evinced by the fact that there
were three applications for mem
bership, this making the total
membership of the society eighty
eight. The finances of the society
are also in good standing, as the
collections have lately been ex-
cellent.
The Chairman of the Zionistic
Activities Committee, Mr.. Weiner,
reported the sale of ten Colonial
Trust Shares, while the twenty
which are being disposed of by
means of chances, will soon be

What's Art2

Art is not, as the metaphysicians
say, the manifestation of some mys-
terious idea of beauty, or good; it is
not, as the aesthetical psychologists
say, a game in which man let's off his
excess of stored-up energy; it is not
the expression of mans emotions by
external signs; 1t is not the production
of pleasing objects; and, above all, it
is not pleasure; but 1t is means of
union among men, joining them to-
gether in the same feelings, and indis-
pensible for the life and progress,
towards well-being of individuals and
of humanity.--Coun Tolstoy.

GENERAL JOHNSTON.
(Austin Tribune).

The body of Cen. Albert Sydney
Johnston was brought from New Or
leans in 1867. Although not record
of history, it was General Johnston's
wish that he be buried in Texas
When New Orleans relinquished the
body of General Johnston, it did SO
after the promise that suitable mon
ument would be erected over his rest
ing place. The body was brought to
Galveston in 1857 The state was un-
der reconstruction rule at that time
and an order was issued that there
be no military demonstration over the
arrival.
A matter of interest to Austin peo-
pie is the fact that Mrs. Rebecca j.
Fisher of this city, president of the
Daughters of the Republic and known
DIS ClS NOlu6T OIL 0AdS' WdS ISSCuSu
from the Indians by General Johnston
during her girlhood and she had been
captured and her parents murdered.
General Johnston was born in 1903,
graduated from West Point in 1926,
headed the Black Hawk expedition
was made Secretary of War of the
Republic of Texas, took part in the
Mexican war, became a planter in
Texas, later entered the United States
army and became paymaster colonel.
He was in charge of the Department
of the Pacific when the war broke out.
He resigned to join himself with the
Confederacy. He was killed at the
battle of Shiloh, an artery being sew
cred by a bullet. He continued the
charge until his death.
The monument over his grave in
Austin was designed by Elizabeth Ney
who died about year ago
