Alas for such hopes! The Mongolia

Of the chief medical officer of the quar-
antiue service, and an examination of
some serum taken from a Chinese pas

The test showed that the patient was

it was decided that the Mongolia must
stay alongside the quarantine wharf till
, daylight this morning.
No one was allowed ashore. and the
strlctest quarantine was established at
once. The sick man is isolated and it
is thought that any danger of the dis

The subject of this sketch was born
in Macon, Ga, May 2, 1885, and died
at Wellborn, Texas, Feb. 2S, 1910, Mr..
Bate came to Texas at the age of IA
years and lived in Rusk county, where
he was married to Martha Birdwell,
August IS, 1857. He served through
the civil war in Hoods Brigade, was
member of the NJ. E. church, having
been converted in early youth. He
was a good husband, good father, a
good citizen, a good soldier and good
Christian gentleman. His death was
that of a triumphant Christian. He
had his son read the Bible to him, and
talked to his children of the life to
come begging them to live so as to
meet him "over there" He repeated
passage after passage or scripture,
some times entire chapters at time.
Once when he was murmuring to him

he replied, "Why I am singing, sing

dar, western cedar, Port Oxford cedar,
and Alaska cypress. Wood specimens
collected from the national forests
will be sent to four leading manufac-
turers, who have agreed to make pen
ellis of them. The manufacturers will
keep a record of the tests and report
to the forest service the results, as
well as their judgment as TO the fitness
of the individual woods.
The forest service is assisting in
this experiment because there are on
the national forests large quantities OF
jumpers and cedars which may be
suitable for pencil manufacture. For
several of these woods no very valua-
BILE use has yet been discovered.
Foresters believe that in the future
the woods from the national forests
may. to a considerable extent, come
into use TO supplement the diminishing
stock OF eastern woods, the supply of
which has received no protection.

SEEKING NEW PENCIL WOODS.
Supply Of Red Cedar Will Be Ex
hausted Within Five Years.

Recent conferences of representa-
tives of the department of agriculture
with several lead.pencil manufactur-
ers have resulted in plans for testing
new woods to find out whether they
can be used in the pencil industry.
According to some of the manufactur-
ers, the supply of red cedar, which
furnishes practically all the wood for
the annual output of some 32500O,O 900
pencils, will be exhausted within five
years. A substitute must be found
which will whittle easily, which shall
contain large amount OF material
free of knots, which shall not be por'
Gus, nor spongy, nor unduly hard, and
which shall occur in sufficient guam
titles to meet the manufacturers de-
mand.
In view of this and at the sugges-
ton of the pencil makers, the forest
service is to cooperate in a test of
number of national forest woods.
Among those to be tried are Rocky
Mountain red cedar, alligator juniper,
western juniper, redwood, incense ce-

TEXAS NOW An ISLAND
Knocked Louisiana in Fight for $4,000
Acre island In Sabine River.

Austin, Texas, March 15.-Attorney
General Lightfoot yesterday received
notice from the general land office in
Washington d. c., that Texas had won
in its contention to an island situated
in the Sabine river below Beaumont
and near the boundary line between
Louisiana and Texas. This island,
which embraces about $4,000 acres,
was claimed by the state Of Louisiana
as government land. This claim was
contested by the state of Texas and
the claim was approved.
Lightfoot some time ago filed a
brief with the land office at Washing
ton, setting forth the reasons why
this land belonged to Texas and from
information he has received Texas has
won out.
This land is very valuable. Based
on the supposition that this island be-
longed to Texas, the commissioner OF
the general land office here had al
ready sold about one-half Of it, about
5000 acres being sold to Branch T.
Masterson of Galveston, and the title
Is now validated.

A few feet away in the hall was the
spot where the body of Arnold Arm
strong had been found. I was a bit
nervous, and 1 put my hand on Hal

Ono Mystery for Another.


The most commonplace incident
takes on a new appearance if the at
tendant circumstances are unusual.
There was no reason on earth why
Mrs Watson should not have carried
a blanket down the east wing stair
case, If she so desired. But to take
a blanket down at IL o'clock at night,
with every precaution as to noise, and,
when discovered, to fling it at Halsey
and bolt-Halsey's word, and a good
one-into the grounds-this made the
incident more than significant.
They moved slowly across the lawn
and up the steps Halsey was talking
quietly, and Mrs. Watson was looking
down and listening. She was a woman
of a certain amount of dignity, most
efficient, so far as 1 could see, al
though Liddy would have found fault
if she dared But just now Mrs Wat
sons face was an enigma She was
defiant, 1 think, under her mask of
submission, and she still showed the
effect of nervous shock

rather unusual occurrence?"

grounds for a stroll. Gertrude fol-
