WAS SIRE OF TEXAS
Moses Austin, Grandfather of the
Lone Star State.
Former Republic Asked 70 Care for
Missouri Home and Tomb Of "a
nous Pioneer Who Made Pos
sibls Its Founding.

Potosi, Mo-WashingtOn county Of
fciaIs have recently appealed to Texas
state officials to arrange for that com
monwealth to care for the grave and
home of Moses Austin in this city.
Moses Austin was father of Stephen F.
Austin, honored as the father of Texas.
AS truly as stephen F. Austin was the
father of the former republic and the
late state, Moses Austin was its grand
father, tor he did the preliminary
wark, made the treaty and planned the
colony that made possible the work
of his son as founder of the repub-
lie.
1t is believed here that the recent
removal of the body of Stephen F. Aus
tin from a lonely grave in a Texas
village to a state-built tomb in the cap
ital city that was named for him, and
the memorial services in several cities,
will arouse sufficient interest in the
Austin family to result in arrange
ments being made to care for the al
most dismantled tomb and the decay
ing log cabin here.
The cabin stands on one corner of
the public square of this city 1t is all
that is left of the once pretentious
Durham Hall, Moses Austin's early-day
home. At the time OF the Louisiana
purchase there was no more elaborate
private estate in the whole Mississippi
valley than Durham Hall, where the
owner entertained such notable men as
Aaron Burr Andrew Jackson and
Thomas H. Benton.
Moses Austin, under grant from
the Spanish government, opened the
first lead mines and built the first lead
smelter in Missouri He was at the
head of the first bank established in
st. Louis and was member of the
first Masonic settlement period.
He conceived the idea of settling |
Texas with Americans, and 1t was
under a treaty negotiated by him |
with the Mexican government that the
first American colony was established |

A Garder. 81 Friends.

One Of the prettiest corners of a
certain girls garden is that In which
every plant has been the gift of some
special friend. The sweet old fashioned
flowers that bloom there have thus a
double significance, and their owner
persuades herself that while they
flourish she may be very sure that
she is not forgotten. A fragrant clump
of pinks was set in place by her dear
est school friend, and now that this
friend is living abroad, she likes to
think that every breath Of perfume
brings her a kindly thought OIL her old
chum. A garden of friendship is a
pretty fancy and one that gives last,

that Americans already are awaken
ing to the picturesqueness of the
island, its climatic inducements, and
its generally healthy conditions.
1.-The Weather people of America
are gradually realizing what great
acquisition the island is to the Unitedl
States. Americans are looking for,
places of beauty and rest, They are
seeking places where they can get
away from the ordinary. and for this
reason I say" continued Mr.. Zeyas,
Porto Rico will eventually be desig-
mated as the mecca Of Americas rich.
Here they can motor through miles,
of mountains, where the scenery
equals that Of any part of Switzer-il
land. The country is threaded with
miles of good roads, the majority Of
which are macadamized.

certain attitudes in the center of Por-

the scenery Of the island ideal, but
the climate is that of perpetual spring
