KEEP HISTORY STRAIGHT.

Saturday Globe: Phil Hoffman,, Of
the Herald, is writing some interest
ing articles during his trip to the
coast This item is written, not fol-
the purpose Of criticising, but to
keep history straight. In his article
from San Antonio, Texas, in writing
OF the Alamo, he says:
But the battle of the Alamo Is no
commonplace incident among the
great struggles Of ancient or modern
history. II was here that Col. James
Bowie. Davey Crockett and some two
hundred others fortified themselves
and held out for fourteen DAYS
against force of 1000 Mexicans un-
der Santa Ana. When the fort was
finally carried by assault, over two
hundred Mexicans lay dead on the
field, and with fiendish revenge Santa
Ana ordered that every male person
in the fort be put to death. His or.
ders we're carried out religiously.

ously Ill and had to lie on his cot
all the time, Nevertheless he died

NATIONAL HIGHWAYS.

! The idea OF National highways,
built and maintained entirely by the
government, has no stauncher advo-
cate than Judge J. NJ. Lowe of Kan
sas City. Mo. Judge Lowe, who is
Vice-President of the National High
ways Association and President of
the National Old Trails Road Assoc
iation, the National Old Trails Road
| Department of the National High
ways Association. does not believe
| that good results can be effected by
what is known as federal aid" or
| national add" least of all, by that
form of aid which proposes that the
government appropriations should he
spent not on main roads but on roads
radiating from railroad stations.
In an open letter to Governor Maj
or of Missouri. Judge Lowe says:
IF fifty million dollars were appro-
priated annually it would average
about one million to each state if
distributed equally.
IF Missouri should get one million
dollars and should distribute it equal
ly to every county throughout the
state. she could build about four
fifths of mile of hard surfaced road
in each county.
But there are those in Congress
Il don. think they are to be found
elsewhere) who seem to have a
vague notion that the thing to do is
to make the railroad depot the hub
and radiate from that point to reach
the farmers produce" but let's see
how that would work.
In great many counties there
are several lines of railroad. Who
will decide which line to prefer? If
all lines are to be treated equally
what would the result be?
Take Missouri, for example. She
has an average of, say, ten depots
in each county. If each county can
each fifty million dollar apprOpria-
ton then each depot would get two
twenty-fifths of a mile annually, if
appropriations were kept up.
AT that rate it would take twelve
and one-half years to get one mile
of road out from each depot.
The average haul in Missouri is
nine miles. so it would take 112
years to build one road out from
each depot to meet the requirements
OF an average haul, and to "radiate"
in only four directions would take
AS years if an appropriation of fifty
million dollars were made annually.
What is the reasonable thing to
do?
And how are we to get roads?
IF fifty million dollars is apprOpri-
ated annually for only six years and
applied to system of National High.
ways ii will build thirty thousand
miles at an average cost of $4,000
per mile. / believe that this is
reasonable estimate for a frst-class
road.
This system could be made to
furnish an average of two trunk
lines across each state and across
the continent, and all connected with
national capital"

turtles after the first white man land

Bay that the first hospital was built.
The first hospitals in this country
were the New York Hospital, the
Pennsylvania Hospital and the Mass

according to DIR. H. B. Howard of
Boston, who discusses the question
in a recent issue of The Journal of
the American Medical Association"
This condition is temporary and will
disappear as these new hospitals be-
come better organized and equipped.
The three things, he says, that our
hospitals should stand for are % the
care of the patients, (2) scientific

expenses. The rapid advance in the
construction of hospitals makes Ger.
tain that in no very distant time
public opinion will demand that each
community shall have sufficient beds
in its hospitals to care for every sick
person who needs to be within their
walls. The medical profession is
gradually being much more carefully
educated and much better fitted for
the care of patients, but proportion
ately fewer persons are seeking this
profession. This foreshadows, accom-,

gathering of the sick into hospitals
not only places them where they can
be better treated and given a better

THE COOK.

TH6 SOONs
Observe the cook who rules hotels
A scrappy gent is he.
Whose daily labor quite compels
A cook to always be.
His business is to beat and strike,
With elbow, foot and fist.
To punch and poke and mangle like
A winning pugilist.
He beats it to his grimy pen.
Before the break of day.
And starts his boxing tactics when
The guests are in the hay.
He wrestles with the kitchen range
The ashes and the smoke.
Then hits the hydrant for a change,
And gives the fire poke.
He pounds the steak and sings a tune
No matter how it begs-
He whips the cream and ticks the
spoon, ''-...
And beats a dozen eggs.
He gives the kitchen boy the hook,
For being late to work.
And then he knocks the pastry cook,
The landlord and the clerk.
He hits the boss for better pay,
Or threatens he will strike.
"You better come across today,
Or else hit the pike"
He waits until he sees flock
OF people come to chew,
And then he hears the kitchen clock
Strike one, and he strikes too.

was done the conqueror ordered that
the bodies be heaped in two great
funeral pyres and burned. Alternate
layers of wood and corpses were
placed, and the whole saturated with

The number of Mexicans killed at
the Alamo slaughter was probably
about 1000, although it is difficult to
get the exact number. The Mexicans
numbered more than twenty times
the Americans and as these Texans
were all dead shots, the Alamo siege
lasting several days, the Mexican
slaughter was great. Also, the fam
