NA. D. H. KNOWLES DEAD
Another Pioneer Entered Into Rest
After an Active and Use
full Life.

At 1880 o'clock on Saturday evening
Mr., Benjamin Harrison Knowles
breathed his last at the home of his
son, Mr.. r. r. Knowles, in this city.
He had been in quite feeble health for
the past year or two and for some
time 1t had been known that the end
was only a matter of a few days. The
foreknOwledge of approaching dissolu-
ton, however, did not tighten the sor-
row of the loved ones who watched
beside him, and who continued their
ministrations Of love even to the end.
Benjamin Harrison Knowles was
born in Auburn, Ala, July q, 1871,
making him 60 years Z months q
days of age at the time of his death.
He came to Texas with his fathers
family at an early age and settled in
Coryell county, where he grew to
manhood. Those were truly the pion-
eer days Of Texas, full of privations.
hardships and interspersed with stir
ring and dangerous times. That part
OF Texas was still infested with In
dianS, as well as with a rough and law
less element that had come here from
the older states. Amid these stirring
scenes he grew to manhood. and. like
the majority of the early settlers of
Texas, was Of that rugged exterior
character of the times yet with a
heart of oak as true as FURNISHED
steel. This characteristic remained

heen almost universally adopted by

markets, and this form will be used

samples, photographs, etc, to these de-
string them for the purpose OF in

with him through life, and he was al
ways plain spoken. positive, a mar OF
strong convictions, and with the moral
courage to take a decided stand on
every question. Yet with his rugged
exterior his heart was tender, and the
milk Of human kindness abounded in
his bosom and he loved his fellow
men.
For several years during his young
manhood he was in the ranger service
on the Texas frontier and was in many
engagements and participated in many
an exciting affair that tried mems
metal. He resigned the ranger service
to enlist in the army and was as brave
a soldier as fought in the lines of the
grey.
He was a la of noble and gener-
impulses and was charitable TO a
fault. No worthy applicant was ever
turned from his door, and there are
many in Bryan who were the beneG-
Charles of his generosity.
He was married in Coryell county
to Miss Sarah A. Garrett in 1864, and
moved to Bryan with his family in
1867. For many years he was a dairy
man and stock raiser, and acquired a
competence for those dependent upon
him. He took an active interest in all
public affairs, contributes his full
quota to the growth and development
of the town and community. and has
left his impress stamped upon the af.
fairs of the community that will last
as long az Bryan lives. His wife died
in 1897 and he is survived by only the
n son, with whom he made his home,
and who, with his. family. has the pro.
found sympathy Of neighbors and
friends.
He was laid to rest in the city Gene
terry at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
from the home of his son. The sery-
ices at the home were conducted by
Rev. j. n. Thomas, pastor of the
Christian church, and concluded at
the grave by the Ancient Order of
United Workmen lodge, of which he
was an honored member. The pail.
bearers were Messrs. f. Wetter, w. c..
Wilcox, w. j. Walker, w. II. Walker,
d. c. Wick and A. w. Buchanan.

This Feet OF ChameIeons,

Chameleons. us no doubt readers are
aware. all belong to the old world. and
particularly 10 Africa. In their tongue,
their feet and their eyes they differ re-
markably from other lizards. Their
feet. though possessing five toes. are
divided into two grasping groups, look
ing like a hand in mittens. and only by
close examination you perceive the
presence of the two or the three oppos.
ing respectively. but so close together
as to appear like one broad one. On
the padded soles or palms Of these
grasping limbs you can feel and see
the small-may one say-palpi, which
enable them to grasp so firmly that 1t
is difficult to detach n chameleon from
its foothold. These clinging feet, to-
gether with their p%rehensic tail, en-
able them to sustain themselves OF

The Crow rha, Wears a Fools Cap.

The Crow That Wears a Fools Cap.
The following clever way of keeping
crows away from n ~grainfeld is used
by the farmer of Holland: He makes
some small caps of stout paper and
smears around the inner side of the
mouth Of each some birdllme or other
sticky stuff. In these he puts some
grains of corr and stands them about
his fields 10y pressing their points into
soft earth. When the crow finds m
of these paper caps he thinks himself
in great luck until he attempts 10 peck
at the tempting grain. when. to his
aStonishmpnt. he finds the cap attach
ed to his head-a regular FOOLS cap
which will not even allow him 10 see
what course to take II he flies up
However. he succeeds In reaching
some coarse grass or bushes and after
much hewildered s%crambling and flop
ping about gets his head out of this
undesirable cap and ever afterward
avoids the field where there are more
of them.
