Houston.

The st. Louis, Brownsville & Mex
leo railroad company is bound to con-
meet its line with the Rio Grande
railroad track. for the latter will con-
meet with deep water at Brazos de
Santiago. and practically all of the
freight from the valley and all for
points in the valley will eventually
go and come over the Rio Grande
road. 1t would be much more to the
advantage of the company, however,
if it could build the necessary con-
nection on a right of way broad
enough to permit of a double track
being laid, and not confined to a
street only twenty-five feet wide. 1t
may cost a little more in the begin
ming to build by some other route
than Twelfth street. but probably the
extra cost would not equal the
amount that the company would have
10 pay in the end for damages to
property on Twelfth street. In any
event, il would be absurd and grossly
unjust to take not only the most i'm
portant business thoroughfare of the
town, but also its very narrowest
street for such purpose. The Herald
feels sure that. if the matter were
placed in it's true light before the
company the latter would be entire
Iy willing to take some other route.

SANTA Annals OLD GUN.
Sand To Have Been Discovered at
San Antonio.

San Antonio, Texas. April 16.-Af-
ter more than seventy years and in a
very unexpectedly manner a missing
link of unusual interest in connection
with the Texas war for independence
from Mexico, and during the days
which made San Antonio one of the
most historic places In the world,
was brought to light at noon today in
believed to be the fmaous old fire
piece of General Santa Anna, the
loss of which. according to history,
almost caused disbandment of the
army of the Republic of Mexico.
Concealed in the wall of an old
Mexican jacal at 427 Main avenue,
the gun was found today at II O'Clock
by workmen, who were tearing down
the building in order to replace it
with a more modern structure. Little
would have been thought of the find
ing of the old gun had it not been at
the place at which it was found. Ac-
cording to the statement of Juan Ben
ebedes. one of the oldest men in San
Antonio and who distinctly remem-
bers the war with Mexico. it was at
this same place that General Santa
Anna had two soldiers taken out and
shot because he suspected them of
the theft of his loved and trusted
weapon.
Story of Theft of Gun.
Practically every reader of Texas
history is familiar with the story of
the theft of the gun of the notorious
leader of the Mexican forces. 1t was
during the sieze of the Alamo that
Santa Anna lost his gun and he went
into such storm of anger over the
loss of his weapon that at one time
there seemed immediate danger of
disorganization of the entire Mexican
army. all on account of the loss of
its erratic leaders favored fire-piece.
The two Mexican soldiers who were
taken out and shot had, according to
Benebedes, relatives living in the
same old house in which the gun was
found today.
Santa Anna suspected these men of
stealing his gun as one of them was
his valet, but both denied any knowl-
edge of the whereabouts of the mis-
sing weapon. They were neverthe-
less. says Benebedes, taken out and
shot the day previous to the final
bloody assault on the Alamo. How
ever the gun was never found and if
the men really stole it they died with
their secret secure
While the gun was found today by
mere accident, according to all ac-
counts. it is believed to be the same
weapon which the cruel Mexican
leader so dreaded to lose. Circum-
stances point to this fact and in con-
nection with the statement of Bene-
bedes there seems to be little doubt
about it. TIL old building is being
torn down by Contractor D. P. Smith
and the gun was found by D. H. Lock-
hart.

Say, Smyrna say, still improving,
While through Sussex 7 am roaming
And her spacious farms exploring,
Yet her sandy roads deploring.

And pass right down throught Smyrna

Or would l have to go around
Over strange and unknown ground?
Streets all paved now, sand all scat
tered,
For by "Four Corners had fattered
Myself would drive my dashing pair;
But Disappointed l, l do declare.
New brick pavement nice to have
Could Town Council better give,
But when l tried it l soon found
| must turn back and go around.
Not complaining, no, not l,
But it almost made me cry,
Colors flying, which would show
If by Corners l could go.
Then to Dover we were speeding,
Where we thought of horses feeding,
But, when we entered, had to stop,
For their streets, too, were all torn
up.

An Elixir of Life,

"An annuity is the best elixir of life
know Of" said the examining physi-
clan Of an insurance company. ut
sometimes seems as If annuitants
never die. We have lots on our books
who top eighty, ninety and even nine
ty-f1ve years l have passed many a
sickly and decrepit old fellow as a
good annuity risk-the sicklier they
are, you know, the better risk they
make-and the next year he has turn
ed up to collect his annuity rejuvenat-
ed, rosy. spry as a boy. The secret?
The secret is that financial worry, fear
of the poOrhouse, ages and kills off
more people than all the deadly dis
eases combined. Release an old man
by means of an annuity from all this
worry, and he throws off his years and
walks erect and happy and feaFlessls

EARLY CARICATURES.
Quaint Art and Humor cf the Ancient
Egyptians.

Quaint Art and Humor cf the Ancient
Egyptians.
The fables of Ae2op prove that the
ancients were not without a liking for
fun, and the remains Of ancient art
tell the same story. Examples of ar
tiStic humor are more cOmmOn than is
generally supposed.
A drawing on tile in the New York
museum represents a cat dressed as an
Egyptian woman of fashion. She is
seated languidly on Il chair, slipping
wine out of a small bowl and being
famed and offered dainties by an alb.
ject looking tOmcat with his tail be
tween his legs.
The cat figures largely in the ancient
comic groups of animal life. In a
papyrus in the British museum a flock
of geese are being driven by a cat
and a herd of goats by two wolves
with crooks and wallets. One of the
wolves is playing a double pipe.
There is in Turin a papyTus roll that
displays a whole series of such cOmical
scenes. In the first place. lion. a
crocodile and an ape are giving vo-
cal and instrumental concert. Next
comes an ass dressed, armed and scep-
tered like a pharaoh. With majestic
swagger he receives the gifts present
ed t. him by cat Of high degree, to
whi~L a bull acts as proud conductor.
A lion and a gazelle are playing at
draughts, a hippOpOtamus is perched
in tree, and hawk has climbed into
the tree and is trying to dislOdge him.
Another picture shows pharaoh ir
the shape of a rat drawn in a carriage
by prancing greyhOunds. He is pro
ceeding to storm a fort garrisOned by
cats having no arms. but teeth and
claws, whereas the rats have battle
axes, shields and bows and arrows
