 THE IRON NERVE OF SAM HOUSTON, THE VIRGINIAN

Courage and daring were qualities characteristic of all the scouts who won their right to fame in frontier his tory, but for iron nerve and pure grit sam Houston was the peer of them all. Perhaps he inherited his fortitude from his father, who was a soldier in the Revolution; perhaps during his long stay among the Cherokee Ind- ans he learned that a warrior bears pain without flinching.
 Houston was Nirginan who had entered the army and risen to the rank of ensign at the outbreak of the Creek war in 1913. Gen. Andrew Jackson, "Old Hickory" had taken the field against the Creeks and, after a series of battles in which the Indians were defeated, they made a last stand at their fortified encampment, Tohopeka. in the Great Horseshoe bend of the Tallapoosa river, Ala.
 During the assault on this fort. q barbed arrow struck Houston in the thigh. He tried to pull it out, but failed. The agony was frightful Calling to a soldier, Houston com manded him to extract the shaft. Twice the man tried and failed, then begged to be relieved of the task when he saw the unspeakable torture he was causing
 'Try again." commanded Houston And if you fail, I'll run you through with my sword ,'
 The third attempt was successful and as the barbed shaft was torn from the flesh, it was followed by a gush of blood. General Jackson, see ing Houston's wound ordered him to the rear. The young ensign waited until Jackson had passed on, had a surgeon bind up the wound, and in few minutes he was back in the thick of the fighting.
 The high peak in Houston's adven- turous life came in 1S36 when, at the head of little army of 800 Texans, with the battle cry of Remember the Alamo" on their lips he defeated the hordes of Santa Anna, the Mexican dictator, at San JacintO, and won free dom for Texas. He was elected first president of the Lone Star republic.
 At the outbreak of the Civil war. Houston, who was governor of Texas, was bitterly opposed to the secession of that state from the Union. The Confederates forced him to resign They required all men over sixteen to register and to carry a pass while travelling. Houston refused to do either. Once they stopped him and demanded his pass. "San Jacinto is my pass through Texas" thundered the brave old man as he rode on.
 Houston died at his home in Hunts vile July 26, 1863 with the name of Texas on hrs lips.

STORIES OF GREAT SCOUTS
THE LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING ENTERTAINING SERIES
 FOR ITS READERS

Books have been written about four or five famous scouts, but the Sores of Great Scouts series is the first really comprehensive work which includes all the leading figures in frontes history
 Do you know how Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill aot their names? Who was the "Ev Spirit of the Plains and how he got his name' Who was the last man to see General Custer alive? Who were the orig inal 'Rough Rders''? That half breed negro was the greatest chief of the Crow Indians and that his trlbesmen poisoned him to keep his spirit with them when he wanted to return to civilization.
 All of the stories of this great series were written by one in love with his subject and who has made special study of since the days of his boyhood when he too stirred by the ambition to be scoDt oo,no hunter and Indian fighter
 Perhaps you once ran away from home resolved to become terror to the Indians and then ran back when night fell and the owls began to hoot If inc vast army of boys who did just that could have been mobilized and directed they would have settled the Indian problem.
 Every one will be interested in this great series starting in the Log Cabin Democrat daily edition to, day. "
