Capt. Robert H. Hudspeth, a pioneer
citizen of Brazos county and perhaps
the Oldest citizen of the county in
point Of residence, died at the home
Of his daughter, Mrs. ]. X. Pressnal,
early Saturday night. He had made
his home with Mr., and Mrs. Pressnal
for some time. The state of his health
had been very feeble for several years
and for some weeks it was known that
his death was only a matter Of very
short time.
Captain Hudspeth was born at Som
erville, Tenn, December IS, 1928, max
ing him at the time of his death SO
years, month and days of age. He
came to Texas in 1S4S, settling first at
Marshall, where he lived until 1852,
and spent the year of 1852 at Rich
mond, Fort Bend county. In 1853 he
settled at Wheelock, which was his
home until 1866, and from which place
he went to the war. When the war
closed he came back to Wheelock and
the following year (1S66) settled at
his old home place near Tabor and
had resided there continuously since.
In 1854 he was married to Miss
Minerva Collins, who died in 1864. To
this union five children were born,
two of whom preceded their father TO
the grave. The three remaining chill
dren are Mr.. Robert Hudspeth OF
Hondo, Mr.. William Hudspeth and
Mrs. ]. X. Pressnal of the Tabor COM
munity. In 1866 he married Mrs. Mary
Kellogg, who died in 1894. In 1903 he
was married to Mrs. Myrtle Martin,
who died in 1906, and to neither of the
last two unions were any children
born.
| In 1856 he was made Royal Arch
Mason and at the time of his death
was one of the oldest Masons in the
state. He was a member of the Chris
tian church, but for the greater part
of the time since becoming Chris
tan had been identified with the Meth
odist church.
In 1861, at the outbreak of hostil.
tiles between the North and South
Captain Hudspeth lived at Wheelock
where he conducted store. When
the call of his country came to him
he closed his store and enlisted In
Company I, Twenty-first Texas Regi
ment. He was made lieutenant Of his
company and as such served through
out the four years of the fearful strug
sle. He participated in many notable
engagements and was one OF the
. Souths bravest soldiers.
He was a man Of strong personality
and individuality, and during his &C
tive years always took a prominent
part in the affairs of his state and
county. ne was always q iCouOA - A'N

VEDR|NES WINS RACE
FOR BENNETT TROPHY
No Aviator Equals His Average
Speed of 105 Miles

CHICAGO, September 1O.-Jules We'd

trophy for speed in the air. The speed
he made yesterday morning in cover
ing the 124.8-mile course at Clearing,
ILL.,, was not equaled by any aviator
later in the day. VedrineS flew at the
rate Of 1896 miles an hour.
Maurice Provost. another French cham
pion who, like the winner, flew one of
the marvellous Deperdussin monoplanes,
was the only other entrant to finish. He
flew low and beautifully and completed
the course in hour 13 minutes l0S2 sec

to come down on the twenty-third lap
when his motor beca me overheated.
Provost and Frey. Vedrine's teammates,
did not go up on their attempts until
$50 in the afternoon.
1t was hoped that Paul Peck. Glenn l..
Martin and Howard Gill, the Americans.
would at least try for third place in order
to make the race a real competition. but
they refused to show the deficiency of
their craft in the face of the speed of the
French machine.
The first speed trophy race was won
at Rheims by Curtiss. The second was
won by Grahame- White for England in
Belmont Park. The third was won last
year by Weymann, in behalf of America,
near London.
Americas farcical showing this year
Is attributed to the chickering's among the
officials of the Aero Club of America.
More than $4,000 was spent on the cup

The basis of all forms of modern illus
tration must be either a photograph or
some kind of a drawing. an< as in the
modern methods of reproduction even the
ARTISTS drawing is photographed on the
engraving plate, all illustration owes
debt to the photographer.
The camera designed for the work of
producing illustrations differs in some es-
sentials from the ordinary one used for
taking pictures at first hand. 1t is pro-
vided with special facilities for gauging
sizes for by it the copy TO be engraved
is reduced or enlarged according to its
requirements. One of the newest cameras
designed for reproduction work IS built OF
aluminium instead of wood. While this
metal has been used for certain parts OF
cameras for some time it is only recently
that a camera has been built having a
solid aluminium back and front standing
upon a solid aluminium platform. This
one was built for one OF the largest
photo engraving firms i'm the country and
was made with a view to quality With
out regard to expense Aluminium has a
number of advantages over other ma

Camera Is Best

for Illustrations. there is no mode
OF illustration which possesses SO many
advantages as the properly used camera.
The camera can give the atmosphere OF
book upon nature better than any form
of drawing because it accurately de-
picts the scene which the story describes.
IL recently has been said: There is no
more art in the paint brush than the
camera The art is the thought of the
artist. the brush or the camera is merely
the means of expression. Although until
recently photography has been consider
ed as merely a mechanical process with
limitations which did not admit of in

oughiy demonstrated by those who have
given time to il that there is a great
deal of fiexibility about the mechanical

1Als 1o1tiollo. read Thoreau's Jour
nal fve years before, and had been 50
impressed with it that he had taken up
his residence at Concord in order that
he might visit the scenes described. In
all seasons and kinds of weather he had
wandered with his camera through the
fields and woods picturing what he saw
there. He was passionately fond of ma
ture. ard to him photography was a
pastime and not a profession. For the
pure love of nature and art, with no
thought of pecuniary gain, he had made
the very pictures which these publishers
were racking their brains TO know how
to secure. By some strange fate he was
led to take his photographs to their Of
flee at the psychological moment and
the result was set of illustrations which
realized the highest ideals of all lovers
Of Thoreau.
Not all photographs are so successful
for illustration. however. There has been
rather fad of posing persons, often
prominent actors. TO represent the scenes
in popular novels, sometimes with most
Indifferent results. In q recent novel the
author gives several Cages to the descrip-
ton of a sumptuouS banquet room, the
elaborate table appointments and a gen.
eral vivid word picture of such an event
