Horatius At The Bridge.

Lars Porsena had gathered together
all his warriors, numbering ninety
thousand, with which he had sacked
and burned all the towns and villages
about Rome, and was on his way to
seize that great city. In the meanwhile
the Romans had heard of his coming.
For two days and nights throng, con-
sisting of women, small children, and
aged men whe were coming to Rome
for protection, had stopped up the way
for one mile around the city. Not a
man in all Rome was so bold that his
heart did not beat fast when the i'll
news was told him for the size and
power of the Tuscan army as compared
with that of the few Romans, was well
known. A council was held at the
River-gate. There was no time for ar
gument and debate so the CONSUL arose
saving; Since Janiculum is lost there
is no hope of saving the town except by
tearing down the bridge which crosses
the Tiber."
But at that moment scout, wild
with haste and fear, ran to the Consul
crying, ITO armsl To arms! Lars Por-
sena is here"
The people looked and saw in the
west on the low hills cloud of dust
and as it drew nearer they heard the
trample of horses hoofs and the sound
of trumpets and beheld brilliant array
of helmets and spears, glittering in the
sunlight. AS it drew still nearer faces
could be distinguished. There wasL Lars
Pofsena himself, seated in an irovy car.
On his right was Marielius; on his left,
false Sextus.
The Consul looked grave, knowing
not what to do or say for he knew
there was not time enough to destroy
the bridge and if it should be gained
their was no hope for the town. But
Horatius, captain of the gate, spoke
quickly. Death comes to every man
soon or late and how can one die better
than facing foes for the safety of his
friends2 Therefore say that | with
the help of two others will keep back
the foe while others destroy the bridge.
Now, who will go with me?
Spurius Lartius, proud Roman, at
once agreed to stand on his right and
Terminus, man of great strength,
promised to stand on his left. The
Consul agreed and the three crossed the
bridge. AS they faced their foes the
army set up shout of laughter and
Immediately three chieftains rode forth,
ready for the combat. To the surprise
of the entire Tuscan army they were
laid to the ground at the first blow.
Then with hatred and anger three Others
rode out but they were likewise killed.
No laughter rose then among the war
riors but murmur swept through the
ranks. After moment of silence Astur,
bravest of them all came forth and
smiling at the bold Romans. struck with
all his might at Horatius. But the
blow was evidently not aimed well for
it struck his thigh causing the blood to
flow freely but not killing him. He
reelad, rested an instant by leaning on
Terminus, then sprang like wildcat

A young man who worked his

Texas by milking cows and clean

has just been elected to a profess
sorship in the University of Penn
sylvania.
One of the most successful pri-
waite schools in Texas is presided
over by a gentleman who waited
on the table of Breckenridge
Hall, a dormitory of the Univer-
sity of Texas, during the four
years he spent in college. While
waiting for the students who
came down late to breakfast he
used to study his Greek lessons.
Now his income is much larger
than that of some of the men
whose meals he served. Any boy
possessing grit and sense can
make his way through the Uni
versity of Texas.

Chief Justice White

Justice Whites promotion to
the head of the supreme court is
notable for many reasons. JUS
tice White is a democrat; he is an
ex-Confederate soldier; he is a
Catholic and he is the only fed
eral judge who ever became chief
justice.
Napoleon used to encourage
his men by telling them that ev-
cry private carried in his KNAPP
sack the baton of a marshal of
France; but nobody ever told a
private of a hostile army that he
was to become the justice of the
greatest and most responsible
court on earth. When Private
White was trudging along be-
hind the Confederate flag half a
century ago he would have never
dreamed that he would live TO be
chief justice of the United States
supreme court by grace of pres
ident from Ohio and a republican
senate.
Again, Mr.. White is a Catholic.
We used 20 have horrible fears of
a Roman Catholic president.
Here is Roman Catholic rather
higher than the president, APP

for by men of many beliefs
Mr. White is the first associate
of the United States supreme
court who ever became chief JUS
tice.
More curious still. White is the
only chief justice of the supreme
court who. previous to his APP
pointment. had ever been fed
eral Judge. All the other chief.

Fuller-were appoiptedt directly

of his people, declaring that their
only hope in acquiring the meth
DDS of the white race. He orgnn-
lied a school district at his home,
near Cache, and was president of
the school board.
His statesmanlike qualities can
be judged by the fact that his un-
disputed reign as hereditary
chief was sustained by popular
vote in the great tribal confer
ence of Saddle mountain three
years ago, when Eschiti, rival,
attempted to Gust him.
Parker was 81 years of age at
the time of his death. He had suf-
fered from rheumatism for the
last few years, and on a visit to
the Cheyennes near Harmon,
when the blizzard came last Sun
day, contracted a severe cold. He
started for home in company with
his favorite wife, Too-Nice, and
some of his children, but when he
reached Cache had to be convey
ed TO his home on a stretcher He
died almost Immediately after
reaching there.
IL is said that Quanah Parker
never embraced the religion of
his mother, but at her funeral
and just before his death express
ed the hope that he might meet
her with the white mans God.
Both Indian and civilized ser
vices will be said above the
grave.
Quanah Parker had many
friends in Fort Worth, among
them Capt. S. b. Burnett. The
great Comanche often visited
Captain Burnett's ranch on his
hunting expeditions, and in turn
Captain Burnett was his guest at
the chiefs home at the foot of the
Wichita mountains.
It was twenty-five years ago
next month that Quanah Parker
coming to Fort Worth with Vel
low Bear, his best friend, came in
contact with a civilized custom
that almost ended his career. The
two Comanches stopped at the
Pickwick hotel, predecessor of
the splendid new Westbrook.
When they retired that night,
Yellow Bear blew out the gas.
Next morning Yellow Bear was
dead, and Quanah Parker was
carried out from the all but life
less.
His last visit to Fort Worth
was two years ago when WITH a
party Of Indian braves he partic-
ipated in the Fat Stock Show and
Horse Show.-Fort Worth Star
