So Sarsfield re- nounced the cause of the insurrectos-, in Mexico, swam the Rio Grande to the United States and came to Houston look Ing for wife and money from home. Iii
 Sarsfield since hobnobbing with the Mex ican rebels has become man of peace. He wants to get home to Ireland now. .sbht he wants to take an American wife with him. He has had enough of the conti- rental adventures, he says, but ' they wouldn't be complete, he believess rwith- out first annexing a beautiful American girl for a wife, so he gave notice through Houston papers of his determination.

 Sarsfield had heard of the revolution , and he wanted to join. So crossing the border he ran into an insurrecto camp the first thing.

 How did you do when you left the army?' he was asked.T Did you resign?" I Laid down my gun, watched for a chance and beat it," he remarked, then apologzed for his seeming assertion by saying: You see there is no regular en- listment. You just fight when you feel like 1t.

Carolina Out Crop.

Columbia. Oct. 20.-Owing to the
spring drought the oat crop in South
Carolina this year Is short $4,000
bushels OF the total number OF bush
els Of oats grown In this State last
year. In spite If the decrease In
quantity. however. the oat crop Of
1911 was worth nearly $4,000 more
than the crop Of 1910. The report
on the oat crop. which has been
compiled by the department Of agri-
culture. shows also a slight decrease
In yield per acre, which Is probably
responsible for the larger portion of
the shortage.
The quality Of the crop, however,
shows a considerable betterment over
last year. being 80 this year against
81 in 1910.
In 1911. acco1 ing to the report,
there were 6.50o.00O bushels of oats
grown In South Carolina. This crop
is valued at $3.0ss.000. The crop of
1910 totaled 4.5ss.ooo bushels. but
II was valued at only S2.ss1.ooo.
The yield per acre in 1911 was 2o.4
