Less than a month after the fall of the Alamo a force of Americans under Colonel Tannin that had surrendered were, by orders of Santa Anna and in defiance of civilized methods. shot down. Houston. in the meanwhile. was covering the retreat of fugitives. San tn Anna was advancing. They met at San Jacinto, April 2l. 1888. The Ameri- can war cry was 'Remember the Ala mo-" The battle was over in twenty minutes. The result was Texan inde- pendenoe. but of a total of i.400 Mext- cans $50 were killed. Six Texans were killed and twenty-five wounded. Santa Anna was taken prisoner.
 Houston was elected first president Of the Republic of Texas. The consti- tuition of the new republic made nm ineligible for reelection for two sue" ceeding terms. At the end of the per iod he was reelected and found tho finances in bad shape. His first step was to inauGurate an economical ad- ministration, which rescued the State from collapse. From the first there had been a strong desire for annexa- ton to the United states. When this was finally accomplished. Houston and Thomas J. Rusk were elected senators.
 He served two terms in the Senate. but was defeated for reelection be- cause of his attitude toward the var ious compromise measures. He return cd to his home in TsxaS and in 1858 was nominated for governor by accla- nation at a public meeting. The cam paIkn that followed demonstrated hts tremendous hold upon the common people. He made . thorough canvas of the State, arousing wild enthusiasm by his eloquent appeals for preservA- tion of the Union. He was elected. ana was inauguratod as governor Dec. 51s 1S6s.

 ian Legend,
 Rome Special to Washington Post.
 There is c legend that whenever Q King belonging to the HaAse of Savoy died. c huge eagle Is to be seen eross- ing the Alps over the Valley of Aoste. in the direction of Savoy. and the con vtction prevailed among the inhMbi- tanss of Aosta that this eagle wnides the soul of the dead sovereign to ioIn thosa of his ancestors In Savoy. When King Charles Albert died ct Lisbon and King Victor Emmanuel dfad at Rome. tho flight of the royal eagle oyer Aosta toward France was witnessed.
 The legend in recent Years had been doubted every by the inhabitants of Aosta itself. the more so as when King Humbert was Rssassinated at Monza, ir 1900. there was no record of the eagles having been seen. Recently the legend was alluded to in Q newspaper as q relic of the past.
 The newspaper happened to fall into the hands of certain Captain Has- letta. who now writes Ion1s letter to The F1eramosta. of Florence. stating that on August i, 1900. he was in com mand of a squad of Alpine soldiers encamped at Plan PaiaAino. near Aosta. Al midday while the squad was having lunch, the officer saw . large eagle lowering over the efacampment. He snatched a rife from one q ths meRx and was on the point of firing at lse when an old peasant woman who hap pened to be near. sprang on him and prevented him from firing.
 She then recounted the legend. and said that the Kind had surely died oe course. nobody believed her. but the next day the news of Humbert's aasass- nation reached the camp. Captain Bas, letta gives the names of all the men who were with him and who saw the eagle and heard the legend from 4he old woman's lips.

Sam Houston, Texan

those which rnarred d?-the Mexican re- public, established under the consti- tuition of 1924. had been undergoing the turmoil of repeated revolutions Under this constitution the territory of Texas had been united with the pro- vince of Coahuila.
 The jealously'of the Mexican govern ment had been aroused by the propo- sitian made by the United States un- der both Adams and Jackson to buy Texas. One of the Mexican presidents issued decrees prohibiting further immigration from the Uniteo States, and had begun to make prepa- rati0ns to make Texas a penal colony when Santa Anna organized revolt against this President Bustamente. American inhabitants of Texas approv: ed and hoped that his success would end their troubles.
 Santa Anna decided that Texas could not be separated from Coahutla. The Mexican congress passed decree which reduced the number of the min- tia to one for every 500 inhabitants. ana ordered the rest to give up their arms. The arms of the Texans were at this time . part nf their daily means of existence aa well as the protection of their lives and property.
 Sam Houston was elected commander in chisf of the forces in eastern Texas and busted himself with organizing volunteer forces. Austin was conn

 Feb, 22, tho American garrison at San Antonio, 146 men, in command or Lieutenant Colonel Travis, was sur prised, took refuge in the Alamo and re- fused to surrender. hoping for re-en- forcements.

Harvard College would admit that his choice of books was good.
 At fifteen he chafed against the primitive civilization of frontier life and ran away from home to live with the Cherokee Indans for 8 period of three years.
 Then the war between England and the United States broke out. Young Houston marched away with the Ten uessee Volunteers as ensign. To pun ish the Creeks for the massacre at Fort Mlms, Ala, volunteer troops un- der Jackson and Conee were sent to Alabama. Houston's regiment was with them. and at To-ho -pe-ka. the most hotly contested battle ever. fought by Indians against disciplined white aoldiers, he displayed such conspicu- ous courage as to win General Jack son's life long friendship. He was promoted to lieutenancy for his bravery, and when his wounds. which never entirely healed. permitted ham to report for duty, he was sent as agent to the Cherokee Indians. While In Washington on business connected with the sale of Cherokee lands he was re- buked for appearing before Calhoun. Secretary of War, in Indian costume Instead of in his uniform. A little later he successfully defended himself against charges affecting his Otacial
 
 which had been instituted by Calhoun offended him. and he resigned. having served in the army five years. Hous- ton was then 26 years of age. He de- tePunined to become a. lawyer. q pro- fession which in those days meant politics even more than now. After six months of study in the law offca of James Trimble at Nashville. he was admitted to the Tennessee bar. and went to Lebanon to practice. Within a year he was appointed adjutant gen. eral of the state with the rank o' colonel and was elected prosecutil0 attorney for the Davidson district. which necessitated his removal to Nashville. In 1928. when 30 years of age, he was elected representative to Congress from Tennessee. and served two terms, leaving the House to become Governor of Tennessee. 1t was dur ing his second term that he fought his only duel, though he received many challenges, all of which were nled by his secretary in methodical fashion.

HENRY BARRETT CHAMBERLAIN In Chicago Record d-Herald.
 When the Texas legislature appropri- ated S10,000 for monument to General Sam Houston, to be erected at Hunts vile over his grave. 1t stipulated that the monument should be of Texas granite and that the appropriation should become void Sept 1, 1909. Oddly enough, sculptors eager to secure the honor of making the monument neg lected to inform themselves of essential conditions and submitted plans for monuments to be developed in bronze Until Aug l. just one short month be- fore the expiration of the allotted time but one plan in accordance with ideas expressed in the measure making the appropriation had been presented. This plan, by Frank Teich of Liano. pro-
 osed the erection Of . plain shaft. An Other sculptor. Pompeo Coppini of San Antonio, who had designed a bronze monument. was given a second opport- unity by Governor Campbell to prepare new plans for one granite.
 It is almost half a century since Governor Sam Houston having done all he could to keep the State he had won for the Union from seeding. refused fo take the oath of allegiance to the confederacy, was deposed from ofi1ce and left Austin for Huntsville. a small town in walker County, Texas. There he lived. faithful to his state, though sadly confident that the attempt to s5is.olva tha union would bring dis aster. a confidence justified by the fall of Vicksburg July {. 1883. and there he died three weeks after that death blow Id inc Southern cause. Over his TO- mains in the little graveyard at Hunt vile was placed a plain slab. bearing 1he Inscription: General Sam Houston. Born March 2. 17s3. Died July 26. 1ee3.''
 Texaa has not been unmindful of the impressive personality that helped to make the history of its period. Indeed the qualities which fin his life made him leader of men--his courage. his generosity, his chivalrous attitude to- ward women and children, his gift of oratory, his indifference to wealth. even his tendency to theatEic effects in dress and msnner-combined with his magnificent physique and great bodily energy, have tended in the years that have passed since his death to unvsrt him into almost mythical
