HIS DEATH IN THE ALAMO. dramatic Er.d of This Brave, Generous and Determined Spirit The Way the Reerlcii Fighter Once Protected a Preacher In Texts. One fine sui.ner morning In 1835 the year that Sauta Anna seized the presidency of the new republic of Mex ico a small party of horsemen crossed the Sabine river about sixty miles from Its mouth and eutered Texas ter ritory. Most of them were clad in buckskin oud armed with rifle, pistol and knife n rough, determined lodk- lag crowd, with two notable excep tions, one clean shaven, dark sklunt-J. with a brlg'jt. restless eye that scan ned the woods constantly, as If lu search of au enemy, aud the other a small, lulld manuercd man. whose geu eral appearance betokened the preach er. Tbeie two Were riding in front. talking earnestly of the ceuventlon which had jnst leii held at Saa Fe lipe de Austin and of the possibility that Texas might one 'day become 'on' ludeendent state. Suddenly some one iu the party behind them started a soug with a memorable chorus W'hen other atatfe reject us, This in tb one that alwaye takes us. From that Jingling rhyuio some de rive the name "Texas." Certain it Is that this great uew land took In and sheltered many a fugitive "who left Ills country for his country's good. That prince of pirates Lafltte had sail ed away from Galveston ten years be fore, and his thousand freebooters ivere scattered "to the four winds, but crowds of advonturers from all parts of the world were pouring in, with mauy of the better class, to swell the tide of Texas Immigration, - The Uttlo band Jogged on and finally reached the municipality of San Augus tine, then a mere collection of rude log huts, with one or two adobe structures built by Spanish missionaries. Hee the preacher posted a notice that the otlce that We of tbe 'Metho- I hold a meet- Kev. Henry Stepheuson dist denomination would lng In the evening. At the hour named the jouse was crowded to overflowing with rough, desperate men, all armed and ready for any fun or fray that might arise on such a novel occasion. The minister gave out a hymn, and It was sung with spirit. Then came the text, but not another word would the crowd hear. They hooted and yelled, shot off their pistols, crowed aud bray ed in derlaiou. The tumult was deaf ening. The quiet little preacher stood his ground bravely, though In his heart wishing he were well out of it. With difficulty his traveling companion forced his way to tbe front, still carrying his rifle and a huge knife in his belt The wild cheer that broke from the crowd sounded In the ears of the preacher, now thoroughly alarmed, like the bowls of a pack of w olves or the yells of Indians hungry for scalps. But in stead of Jumplug upon him this strange "man. with restless eyes flashing and long black hair streaming over his shoulders, Jumped on a bench and, throwing his hat to the ground, shout ed In a stentorian voice: "Men, this man has come to preach to you! . You need preaching to, and I'll be blanked If he shau't preach to you! The next man who disturbs him shall fight me! My name is Jim Bowie!" The effect was magical. With quiet respectful attention the rough audience listened to the sermon, Jolued heartily lu the closing hyuiu, ana not a few persons came up to Ehake hands with the little man and apologize for tue rough reception they had given him. A mouth later at the first camp meeting ever held in Texas some of them be came members of the church, and in 1838 the cornerstone of the first 'Prot estant house of worship iu the republic was laid In Saa Augustiue. . Tbe man whose timely aid proved so effective was Colonel Jame3 Bowie, and the knife In bis belt was the noted "bowie knife," given to him by his brother, Rezln P. Bowie. It was made of a large file,, strong, of admirable temper, and gave its name to a family of terrible weapons not yet extinct Crockett met Bowie for the first time In the Alamo, and he writes In his Journal: 'While we were conversing Colonel Bowie had occasion to draw his famous knife, nnuI wish I may be shot if the bare sight of it wasn't enough to give a mnu of a squeamish stomach the colic. He saw I was ad miring it and said he, Colonel, you might tickle a fellow's ribs a long time with- this - before - you'd - make - him laugh.".' : Brave, generous, determined and en terprising. .Tames Bowie sought adven ture for its hazards, and be was natu rally among the first to take up arms for, Texas Independence. . Three more desperate men were never brought to gether than Travis. Crockett and Bowie as they took their last sta rid within the walls of the Alamo. Sick and help lesa In tied ou that last terrllile day, Jim Bowie died fighting. As Mex ican ran forward to kill film be roused himself by a supreme effort, caught hja asRatlantAiy tho hair, plunged the fatal knife Into Ma heart and fell back dead , When the story of his death, was told -to bis mother tu Louisiana, she said.

When Jefferson Davis was secretary 9f war he ordered all his generals to learn to ride horseback. No finer horse man than Jefferson Davis ever 11 veil, lie won the love and band of Zach Taylor's daughter by his dlptlngulslmi presence In the saddle, ns well as by his Intrepidity at the .camion's mouth. Wheu swretary of war he noticed that only a, few officers hi t'.;e service were capable horsemen and Issue. 1 an oitlor something like this: "A liberal reward Will l paid to any officer or private In the army who will offer a satisfactory device for keeping our soldiers from falling out of their saddles. Communications to the secre tary of war will be regarded as confi dential." v Captain George Horatio Derby, one of the leading army engineers of bis day. used to write humorous and witty stories over tbe pen name of John Phoenix. He received a copy of Sec retary Davis' order while Improving the harbor of San Diejro. Cal.. and Im mediately forwarded the most Intri cate and accurate designs of his plan for keeping officers and men In the saddle. To the seat of each jiScer's "pants" he attached a bullJ.rfnfiani another bull ring was attached to the saddle. The two bull rings vere to be lashed together when the officer mount ed his steed, "If that doesn't hold, nothing will." wrote Phoenix '''to the secretary. Davis was furious when he got this proposition and immediately ordered that Captain Derby should bo court martlaled for "official levity." The secretary felt that the army had been disgraced and wanted Derby se verely punished. One of his Intimates hastened to him. "Jeff," he whiskered. iif you order a Court martial; W-fqif little pleasantry of John rhoonrr, of the salt of the earth and Immensely popular In the army, you will I hiafle a laughingstock. The jieople will ridi cule you out of office. Just laugh it "off." Davis took his advice. New York Press. MR. AND MRS. DEAN. The Surprise They Gave a Roomful of Blackguards. In the early part of the nineteenth century auxnan was imresori any respectablo pereous.yi f those who came up from tnJc( century Vauxhall was thej-esort of hilly coun try to see London sights. During one season It was Infested by a band of roughs, who made It their occupation to insult and molest the most quiet, de cent people, especially any whom they guessed to be country visitors. They became sucu a niusanco mar several i men about town, among whom were Lord Alvanley and Keppel Craven, laid a plot to get rid of them. They hired Mendoza, the famous prize fighter, and dressed him up as a dean, with a shovel hat and apron. Another prize fighter, a short man, was dresjed as a middle aged lady and passed as the dean's wife, and one evening they were sented at Vauxhall In a conspicuous position to watch the fireworks. It was not long before the old fashioned, countrified pair attract ed the attention of the gang, who as sailed them with every kind of coarso raillery and insult, all of which they bore very meekly. At length one of the persecutors, growing bolder by Impunity, stepped up to the dean and squirted an orango Into his eye. On this the dentt. rising, said In a meek, quiet tone. "Really, gentlemen, I have borne a great deal. but I must put a stop to this." Witt1, that Ws hat went one way aud his coat another, and, followed by ' his "wife." be sprang Into the middle of the party, hitting out lu all directions. Filled with astonishment and terror, some Ced and some tried to show fight, but the handling they got from the prize fighters was too severe for the fracas to last long. AH the time I.ora Alvanley and his friends, who were in t!ie hoses, were calling out in dellg'it:' ' "do It Dean! dive It 'em. Mrs. Dean!" An i effectual stop was thus put to the an noyance.

I worked up the jury and got a verdict tjor the full amount. As we were quitting the courtroom Mr. J. said: " 'S., your war speech gnlned you the verdict. If you hadn't discovered through my cross examination that the man had fought In the Boer war, you would have been beaten.' 'My friend.'' I replied, if you had ou!y asked the man which side he fought on you might be going home with a verdict. My client served un der the Boer flag.'" Pearl Banks of Ceylon.
