A Naval Academy.

In 1890 somebody built hotel at the
odd end of the town. where nobody
wanted it. because he could buy land
cheaper there than anywhere else. It
was inconvenient and uncomfortable and
people would not patronize it. 1t has
stood empty for several years. but has
recently been bought by Wesley Peacock,
proprietor of a military school at San
Antonio, who has organized a naval acad-
envy, for which the building and its sit
| uation are admirably suited. The eli
mate, the aquatic facilities and all other
conditions are favorable, and Senator
Bailey, who has taken a deep interest in
the enterprise. secured an amendment to
the naval appropriation bill last winter
authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to
detail q naval officer for superintendent
and to furnish training ship and such
paraphernalia as is necessary to teach
young Texans how to navigate and fight
a man-of-war.
1t is a good thing to divert Texans into
the navy. For many years the tidewater
states almost monopoiized that branch
of our service. but of late the best ma
terial at the Naval Academy and among
the enlisted men is coming from the
west. If you will look over the honor
list at Annapolis and the muster rolls of
struck with the number and the standing
of officers and sailors from West yir-
ginia Kentucky, Illinois. Missouri and
other central and western states. The
Texans have always been famous fight
ers on land, and for many reasons 1t is
expedient that they should be given a
chance at sea.
The winter reSOrterS who have been
coming to Corpus Christi for health and
pleasure in the past have been living on

erected several hundred cheap little one

Avoid Disputatlon.

The olsputatious person never makes
a good friend. In friendship, men
look for peace and concord and some
measure Of content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street,
enough disputing in the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world. without having to look for con-
tentiCn in the realm of the inner life
also. There, if anywhere, we ask for
an az OF strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over 1t.
It's chief glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are eXcluded.-Hugh
