RELLC OF GOLIAD MASSACRE.
Robert Lee, Tex, Aug. 3l.-A faded
white bean, a relic of the lottery for
life in the stormy period that preced-
ed the Goliad massacre. Is in the pos
session of Mrs. r. L. Hayley of
Bronte. grand daughter Of Anthony
Owen.
The lives Of owen and two other
soldiers under General Fannin were
spared when they drew three white
beans from a bag of black beans.
Some three hundred other Texans
under General Fannin were massa-
cred. ..
1t was in March. 1895 that the Tex
ans were surrounded and forced to
surrender to a numerically superior
force of Mexicans. They were prom
ised quarter if they surrendered and
the band, many Of them wounded or
dying, gave up and were taken to the
old Spanish mission of Goliad and i'm
prisoned.
Later the Mexican commander an
nounced that the Texans must pay
with their lives for having opposed
Mexican rule. but consented to a lot
terry and promised freedom to the
three who should draw the white
beans.
The historic bean is yellow with
age. but is perfectly preserved.

On line of Fire.

With the American Army in France,
Aug. ters)-Between the
Ailette and the Aisne and far to the
southeastward along the line Of the
Vesle the battlefield is one vast pano-
rama of fire. Here at the moment the
Germans are offering the most desper-
ate resistance, since the issue in this
than anywhere else along the whole
front.
With General Mangin's men al
ready across the Ailette on either side
of the village of Champs, the enemy's
hold on Coucy-le-C Chateau is threat
ened. Coucy-le- Chateau is highly Inn
portant to the Germans as a distribut-
ing center of troops falling back from
Noyon and those fighting stoutly on
the left bank Of the Ailette.
From the crest Of the plateau north
of Scissors shells can be seen bursting
against the German lines.
American troops In the center are
still fighting to clear the difficult en-
tanglements before them. There has
been no close fighting in these valleys
as yet.
A philosophic wounded prisoner
was encountered today in the road
near the battlefield. He said:>
"They told me that the Americans
murdered their prisoners"
When asked IL he had believed that
charge, he answered.:
"One does not make a great nation
out Of men like that"

/ These American soldiers of ours are

on long, hard dusty hike. Every

pounds and his rifle besides. All day
they trudged along a little French

worse our ration wagon broke down
and so we had for meal cheese and
hard tack. Our supply Of tobacco and
cigarettes was in it too, and they're
short on smokes. Just let me say here
that if any of your many friends
want to do some excellent war work
on the side let them buy some
smokes. There are a great many OF
the officers who spend large part OF
their salaries every month for smokes
for their men. If they don't know
where to send them just let them fire

How to Read.

At best the printed words Of an au-
thor represent but a poor fraction Of
what is in his thought and feeling. or
what he would express if he could.
Therefore, IT is well to follow Ruskin's
advice on Reading for the thought"
and "get into the habit Of looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself
of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter" Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thor's meaning by compromising his
words, but the act of concentration
fertilizes and awakens your W mind
and tends to bring you. into such sym
pathy with the idea expressed and
with the author, that you are illumined
by far more Of the subject than the
printed words alone contain.-William
