heard it years ago. So, in way it's
secret of mine and Madame Zallah's.
"Two English Gypsy girls came to this
country about twenty-five years ago. They
joined the old Orange Brothers circus as
mitt-readers in the side-show. They made
tremendous sums by virtue of their for
une-teling ability. They were too good
in their line to remain long in the show
business so they established themselves in
New York.
"Now I'm not going to give you that
old bunk about their being the seventh
daughters of the seventh son and born
under certain star or other favorable
horoscopical conditions but 1 will recite
the facts as 1 know them.
'The sisters were twins of wandering
tribe of English nomads and from early
girlhood exhibited signs of strange mental
ability. They could read the thoughts of
each other; could anticipate the moves
and actions of their associates in their
rowing adventurous lives.
"Tiring of their lot with the English
band they migrated to America, and as
l stated were successful.
"They adopted the name of the Smith
Sisters and operated together, and never
in all the years of their work did they
have blemish on their character or
honesty, until they got mixed up with that
hoity-toity crowd that is curse to the
Big Town.

A little girl wrote the following COM
position on men: "Men are what women
marry. They drink and smoke and swear,

Both men and women sprang from mon
keys, but the women sprang farther than
the men."-Ex. -

WORLDS GREATEST SUSPENSION

Canada and the United States are about
to be connected by the longest and largest
single-span suspension bridge in the world.
1t will cross the Detroit River at Detroit.
Construction work has been started by
c. E. Fowler, chief engineer of the project.
A joint Canadian-American company,
authorized by the Dominion Parliament
and by Congress, has been organized to

The bridges span is to be 1908 feet,
203 feet longer than that of the Williams
burg bridge. The weight of the bridge and
approaches will be 100000 TONS Six of
the enormous cables are to be twenty-one
inches in diameter. The lower deck will
contain four electrified railway tracks. The
upper, or highway, deck will be 81 feet
wide, with two roadways carrying six
lanes of traffic, two sidewalks, and two
trolley tracks. The clearance above the
river level will be 10 feet The steel

DAVY CROCKETT, THE HERO OF
THE ALAMO

'Be sure you're right, then go ahead"
was Davy Crockett's motto. He fought for
the right, then went ahead to a glorious
death in the Alamo. Crockett was born in
Tennessee in 1886. He came of fighting
stock for his father, tavern keeper, had
been a soldier in the Revolution. Young
Crocketts early years were spent in roam
ing the Tennessee woods, hunting. He be-
came a renowned bear hunter, fame
which he shared with his favorite rife
"Old Betsy"
When the Greek Indians went on the
war path in 1913 Crockett tossed "Old
Betsy" on his shoulder and marched away
to fight the Indians. He served as scout
under Gen. Andrew Jackson and was in
the great Battle of Tohopeka when "Old
Hickory" defeated Weatherford's warriors.
After the Greek war was over Davy re-
turned to Tennessee and entered politics.
From magistrate he rose to state legislator
and next the renowned bear hunter; and
scout was sent to congress where he served
two terms. In February, 1886, Davy with
IL of his Tennessee friends arrived at the
Mission del Alamo where COL William
Travis with little army of less than 200
men was defying the Mexican dictator,
Santa Anna.
Santa Anna had force of 5000 men,
and although the Texans had a chance to
escape before this overwhelming army cut
off their retreat, they refused to do so. The
Mexican general surrounded the rude little
abode fort. His demand for its surrender
was met with scorn. Then he raised the
red flag which meant, "No quarter" and
attacked.
The long rifles of the Texans moved
down the Mexican soldiers driven to the
attack. On March s Santa Anna prepared
for a grand assault Twenty-Five hun
dred picked men were detailed to be hurled
against the fort. The first assault was
beaten back with heavy loss. A second
failed, but in the third desperate attempt
the Mexicans broke into the fort
After that the fighting was hand to
hand Travis went down and Crockett took
command. Outnumbered hundred to one,
Crockett with a few comrades stood with
their backs to the wall of the church. One
by one his men went down. AT last only
Davy was left. "Old Betsy fired her last
shot. Then Crockett seized her by the bar
rel and swung her about his head.
There was short struggle. "Old Betsy"
was knocked from his hand. Bayonet
thrust and sword cut were rained upon
him. A mass of Mexicans struck him.
He went down fighting to the last. The
Alamo was history.-Ex.
