BUILDING HUGE DAM
IN SOUTHERN TEXAS
Especial to the Tribune)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 2S.-
When the last spike was driven Mon
day in the twenty-five miles of rail-
road that the Medina Dam and Irri-
cation company has completed from
Dunlay to the site of the proposed
dam, the transportation of many car
loads of material that have been con-
costing the sidings at Dunlay began.
Huge timbers, machinery and other
materials have been waiting for some
time the completion of the road. A
force of 1870 men is at work on this
great development undertaking. Mr.
T. B. Palfrey, bushes manager of the
company, put it in this way in discuss
ing the plans of the company: Every
man concerned in the work will be
busy from now on until the dam is
completed" The twenty-five miles OF
the Southern Pacific out to the dam is
entirely subsidiary to the main under
taking and will be torn up when the
dam is completed, since the right of
way was only leased until the compile
ton of the dam.

DIED At PORTAGE Lake

CALUMET, Mich, Aug. 2S.-Mrs.
Daniel Washburn, wife of hotel
keeper at the Portage Lake ship can.
ais, who died last week, gained con-
siderable fame throughout the coun-
try six years ago by her heroic efforts
in the rescuing of several sailors from
the wrecked wooden barge Pasadena
when that boat was broken up at the
Lake Superior entrance of the canal
Mrs. Washburn donned rubber
boots and oilskins and waded and
swan through huge waves into the
lake, rescuing and pulling to safety
three sailors who otherwise would
have lost their lives. In the various
published accounts of the wreck
much was made Of the heroism of
Mrs. Washburn, who was a woman in
the 40's at that time.
Mrs. Washburn was also noted as
collector of rare copper specimens,
and claimed that several of her speci-
mems were of copper tempered by the
aborigines who dwelt in this district.

The baby held under his body in
such manner as to further protect
from the beating stones and the little
one escaped unhurt by the storm.
Wheatley was weak from the ter
rible punishment he suffered but was
able to get to his home where atten-
ton was given his wounds. His back
and limbs were raw from the effects
of the ice storm.
Very extensive damage was done to
the crops through the district struck
by the storm, it being the heaviest
fall of hail that has ever been ex-
perienced in this section of the state.
John Lyle was another who was
injured in the storm, being beaten
quite severely about the head before
he was able to reach a'place of shell

H0bOES Break into
THE Sheldon JAIL

Sheldon Progress: Attempts are Of
ten made to break out of Jail, but it
is seldom that anyone tries to break
into the cooler. Such a-case occurred,
however, in Sheldon Monday night.
Tuesday morning it was noticed that
the door leading into the village bas-
tile was open, and upon investigation
it was found that the lock had been
sprung and the door forced open.
The only theory as to how the ca
lamity occurred is that some hoboes
in looking for a place to spend the
night stumbled onto the building and
considered it good place for a
nights lodging. They probably did
not realize it was the Jail as it has
more the appearance of wood shed
or a chicken coop.

Makino q Gunetook.

A party of men were out hunting, and an old woodsman who was with them broke his gunstock in some way or other. It was just about nightfall when the accident occurred, and inas much as he was very anxious to do some shooting early the next morning he decided to fix up his shooting iron. Finding a walnut fence rail, he set to work. His only tools were an ax and a big pocket knife. All night long he labored vigorously at his task, and by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like q charm.
 How did you do itY" asked one ot the number greatly surprised.
 "Very easy" was this old hunters reply. "No trouble at all. Just get a piece of wood about the size and kind that you want and then whittle away all that you want whittled away. When you have all the wood cut of that you don't want you have a gun stock. k."-Kansas City Journal

 Let the learning of the ages be add ed," came the order, and tons upon tons of the wisdom of sages. philoso phers, scientists and poets was heaped upon the pile. And still the great arm of the scales remained high in air.
 Add now the men of power and high position" said the judge, "and the scale will fall" But all in vain
 But what is on the other side that outweighs all theseY asked one.
 "It is character" said the judge.- Portal

A Good Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impassiveness of Louis XVIII. When he was minister of foreign affairs a courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant news. and he therefore postponed the communication of it to the king till next morning, when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his majesty's sleep. The king replied: Nothing disturbs my sleep, as you may see from this in stance. The most dreadful blow of my life was my brothers death. The courier who brought this dreadful news arrived at o'clock in the even- ing. For many hours l was quite overcome, but at midnight l went to bed and slept my usual eight hours" ]" The story is told by the Duchesse de Dino, Talleyrands niece, in her mem- oirs.

The Filial Chinaman.

Many examples of Chinese filial piety strike the occidental reader as ridicu- lous. There is the famous story Of Lao Laitsu, which MT. R. F. Johnston repeats in his "Lion and Dragon In Northern China Laos parents lived to such extreme old age that he was himself toothless old man while they were both still alive. "Conceiv~ ing it his duty to divert their atten- ton from their weight of years and approaching end, he dressed himself np in the clothes of child and played about in his parents presence with the object of making them think they were still a young married couple con- templating the innocent gambols of their infant son."
 A similar case is that of Wang POu whose mother had an unconquerable dread of thunder and lightning. When she died she was buried in . mountain forest, and thereafter, when violent thunderstorm occurred, Wang P'ou, needless of the wind and rain, would hurry to her grave and throw himself to his knees "I am here to protect you, dear mother" he would say. sDo not be afraid"

GRAY HAIR TALKS
HAIR INDEX OF AGE. DON'T
 LOOK OLD.

How often one hears the ex- pression, "She is gray and is begin ming to look old" It Is true that gray hair usually denotes age and is always associated with age. You never hear one referred to as having gray hair and looking young.
 The hair is generally the index of age. If your hair is gray, you can't blame your friends for referring to you as looking old. You can't retain youthful appearance if you allow your hair to grow gray. Many per- sons of middle age jeopardize their future simply by allowing the gray hairs to become manifest. There is no necessity for this. If your hair has become faded or gray, try Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, the preparation which a chemist by the name of Nyeth devised few years ago. It is simple, inexpensive and practical, and will banish the gray hairs in a few days. It is also guar anteed to remove dandruff and pro- mote the growth of the hair.
 It is a pleasant dressing for the hair, and after using it a few days itching and dryness Of the scalp en- tirely disappear.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle and is recommended and sold by
