HISTORY OF TEXAS.
Beginning with the Issue of May 14,
the (ialveston and Dallas 8eml«WeefiTy
Farm News started the publication of
the "History of Texas" by Profs. Bar-
ker, Potts and Ramsdell of the Univer-
sity of Texas. Installments of this
most interesting and instructive re-
cital of the deeds of valor of pioneers
and the sacrifice of the founders of
the Texas Republic, and of the State
of Texas, will appear in each issue of
THE SEMI-WEEKLY FARM NEWS,
presenting the complete story to News
readers in convenient form.
By reading the installments care-
fully, subscribers will derive much
valuable information about that great
and growing State which will stay
with them and be of use to them, and
yet a more intensely romantic story
of adventure and achievement than
this true history of Texas cannot be
found. The main object of the authors
Is to present in form sufficiently sim-
ply for young readers the essential
facts of the history of Texas, but in
this older readers also will find what
is "important to an understanding of
the making of Texas."
The News is quite sure that, when
the last Installment has appeared, all
its readers will be of one mlnu—fully
agreed that this "History of Texas"
has been worth many times over the
space and care that have been devoted
to its reproduction.
HE FOLLOWED THE DOG
LITTLE BROOKLYN LAD SHOWS
8HERLOCK HOLMES MIND.
Example of Good Deductive Reason-
ing by Eight-Year-Old In Discuss-
ing the Home of a Lost
Child.
There Is a youngster out In Dyker
Heights. Brooklyn, who. although he Is
only about 8 years old. as a deductive
reasoner Is already In the Sherlock
Holmes class. His name Is Jlmmle
Sullivan, and he la best known In the
neighborhood for his devilment, his
freckles and his pure boyishness.
The other day Jlmmle went to the
house of Mr. Saltta and Inquired If a
little boy lived there and If he was
lost. There Is a MtHe boy who lives
In that house who has a penchant for
losing himself. He Is the son of the
cook and Is about 3 years old. Not
long ngo he wandered about a mile
and a half from home and was gone
six or eight hours. A little later he
toddled over to Van Pelt Manor and
was picked up in a cemetery. Jlmmle,
however, did not know any of these
things He did not know, even, that
there was such a little boy. He was
just following up a perfectly good
clue.
Mra. Saltta asked Jlmmle Sullivan
what sort of a little boy it was. and
Jlmmle described Joe. Jlmmle ex-
plained that the wandering Infant had
been found at Seventy ninth street and
Thirteenth avenue. There was a black
dog with him. No one ever had seeti
the child or the dog In that neighbor-
hood before Some one had telephoned
for a policeman, who came In due
course and conveyed little Joe to the
station house at Eighty-sixth street
nnd Fifth avenue, via a trolley car.
Jammle Sullivan had been an Inter-
ested spectator of the proceedings
As the result of the Information that
Jlmmle gave Mr. Saltta and other
members of the family hastened to
the police station and there found Joe.
perfectly happy, sitting behind the
desk alongside the lieutenant.
One thing that Mr. Saltta could not
quite understand was how Jlmmle Sul-
livan ever discovered that the lost boy
belonged to his house. Not only was
Joe a stranger to Jlmmle, but Jlmmle
had never seen Mrs. Saltta or any
member of her household. Tire black
dog was slno a strnnger In these parts
having been ndopted by the Salttas
on last St. Patrick's day. receiving the
name of Patsy In consequence. With
all these facts in mind Mrs. Saltta
made Inquiry of James why he had
concluded the lost youngster might
have belonged where he did.
"Oh, that's easy." responded Jlmmle
nonchalantly. "It was no trouble at
all. When the cop took the baby away
on the car I just followed the dog. I
knew he would go back home and that
he and the kid must live In the same
house."
AWAKENED by a cold hand on her
bare ankle, Mildred Bromwell.
eleven years old, turned over In bed
the other morning shortly after three
o'clock and whispered to her sister
Louise, fifteen years old:
"There's some one In the room,
Louise, for I can feel their hand on
my ankle."
"Be quiet," cautioned Louise, in a
low tone. "I can smell wl*isky."
Louise raised herself to a sitting
posture, and by a dim light which
caine through the window from a
lamp In the alley In the rear of the
house saw the face of a negro look-
ing directly Into her eyes. So close
was the dark face that the girl oould
smell the odor of alcohol in his breath.
Louise saw the man was sitting in
a chair beside the bed, and
while she gazed at him, fascinated
with fright, he left the chair, got
down on the floor on his hands and
knees and started crawling from the
room. Before he reached the door
Louise aroused the household with
screams, aided by Mildred.
Their father, James E. Brownwell,
was awakened. As he left his bed he
grabbed two revolvers and started to
the aid of his daughters, who were In
the rear room on the second floor of
0
Miss Cartwright^
Constancy
their home at 1622 Fifteenth street,
Northwest.
The negro ran downstairs, with
Bromwell, clad only In pajamas, snap-
ping his revolvers as he pursued.
Bromwell had center-fire cartridges In
his rlm-fire revolvers, and no explo-
sion followed the snapping of the
hammers. The negro opened the front
door, ran down a flight of Iron steps
and started across the kiwn. Again
Bromwell pulled the trigger and this
time there was an explosion.
When the report rang out the fu-
gitive Jumped high In the air as
though he had been struck and de-
veloped remarkable speed. The
neighborhood was aroused, windows
flew open, and shouts filled the air.
The Intruder fled uround a corner into
Corcoran street, and after running
half a block, with Bromwell, barefoot,
In hot pursuit, the negro disappeared
in an alley.

Skeletons Constitute Mystery.
The necessary removal of 11,000 bu- I
man skeletons from an ancient crypt
tinder the parish church at Rothwell.
Northamptonshire, England, revives
the question of the origin of these
bones. Rothwell was once an Impor-
tant place, but never Important enough
to own so many skeletons. Moreover,
a large proportion or them bear the
marks of wounds, but the theory that
they originated in some battle Is neg-
atived by the fact that many of them
are those of women. Moreover, no
battle has been fought near there ex-
cept tho battle of Naseby, and less
| than a thousand men were killed In
that fight: Even the ancient battles
between the Danes and the Saxons
were all recorded, and there Is no
story of such a battle as this, nor
was there ever a visitation from
plague so far as Is known. The crypt
Itself Is of \inknown age and the mys-
tery Is further increased by the fact
that when the bones were first discov-
ered, nearly 200 years ago. they were
carefully arranged In layers with the
skulls on top, then the legs, and then
the arms They have now been re-
moved and placed on shelves—a sight
well worth seeing by the curious
tourist.
IT is announced by the United States
bureau of education that to ac-
quaint tho hurried traveler v.ith the
glories, culture and progress of Spain,
the Spanish government has establish-
ed n holiday lecture and travel course
for the especial benefit of foreigners.
The course Is separated Into two di-
visions. The first part, which Is under
the management of Prof. Ramon Me-
nendez Fldal, will afford the foreigner
an opportunity to acquaint himself
with the fundamental Ideas of the
Spanish culture. The second part of
the course consists of excifrsions to
public, historical, architectural and art
monuments, under the conduct of
scholars whose demonstrations, ac-
cording to Senor Don Juan Rlano y
Gayangos, the Spanish minister, "can-
not but be Incomparably superior to
those offered by professional guides."
The course will be held In Madrid as
a headquarters from June 15 to July
24. luose who enroll are expected to
have some knowledge of Spanish.
The lectures will give especial at-
tention to the Spanish epic, to the
lyric as developed In various prov-
inces, to the picaresque and regional
novel and to Cervantes. Other lec-
tures will deal with the relations of
tho Spanish language to the French
and Italian; with Iberian, Mozarabic
and "Mudejar" art and with the po-
litical and social life of Spain In the
nineteenth century. There will also
be two Illustrated lectures surveying
Spanish art.
Each of the lectures on Spanish lit-
erature will be followed by an hour
of practical work on the text. There
will also be a special class of Castil-
lan phonetics and dally conversation
classes.
The principal museums of Madrid,
especially the Prado, the Modern Art
museum, the Archaeological museum
and the Royal Armory, will be visited,
while excursions will be taken to To-
ledo, Escorial, Avlla and Segovia.
These trips will be in the charge of
Dr. Manuel Cosslo and Dr. Manuel
Gomez Mereno, two authorities on
their subjects.

How He Was Hurt.
Sunday School Teacher—And when
the prodigal son came home, what
happened, Tommy?
Tommy—His father ran to meet him
and hurt himself.
Sunday School Teacher—Why,
where did you get that?
I Tommy—It said his father ran and
I fell on his neck I bet It would hurt
you to fall on your neck!—Judge.
Not by an Old Hand.
Mrs. Exe—It isn't right to charge
Willie with taking that money out of
your pocket. Why don't you accuse
me?"
Mr. Exe—Because It wasn't all
taken.

"If Amelia Cartwright would pay a
little more attention to the love of the
living and less to that of the dead, she
might be happier, and save Amos Til-
lingbast from wearing his heart out."
Mrs. Lowell stabbed her needle
viciously Into the sock she was mend-
ing and rocked violently.
"Amelia has a constant nature,"
said Ann Briggs.
"Constancy is all right if there's
any reason for It," said Mrs. Lowell,
"but everybody knows that Charles
Burroughs wasn't true to her before
he died. He was engaged to two girls
at once."
"But Amelia doesn't know it." said
Miss Ann, gently, "and it would hurt
her to know."
"Well, wouldn't it be better for her
to be hurt a little and get waked up
to the fact that It is Amos who has
really loved her all these years and
who deserves to get her?"
"Well, I don't know," snld Miss
Ann. "I hate to see Amos hurt and
I hate to see Amelia hurt. Love Is
love, and I guess most of us have to
suffer for it."
"There she goes, now." said Mrs-
Lowell, glancing out of the window.
"I knew she would. Every Saturday
she's off to the cemetery with a
wreath of pink flowers. Sometimes
it's roses and sometimes It's sweet
peas and sometimes It's verbenas.
But It's always pink."
"Poor thing." said Miss Ann.
"That's what hurts Amos so," said
Mrs. Lowell. "He knows Amelia
hasn't enough to live on and he has
plenty. And I think he knows, too.
that she would love him If she would
let herself. He said to me not long
ngo: 'Aunt Carrie, when I talk to her
about It, she just cries and says,
"Please don't. Poor Charles thought I
had It in me to be constant—and I
want to be faithful to him—I want .
to be faithful." '"
"There goes Amos now," snld Miss
Ann. "Do you know he's got some
pink roses In that paper? I believe
he's on his way to the cemetery."
"Well, he'll meet Amelia there."
said Mrs. Lowell, "and I guess she'll
be touched to see that he has remem-
bered Charles."
But Amelia, sitting forlornly at the
foot of her lover's grave, was to meet
some one else before Amos, for a
slender little woman Approached and
asked, "Is this the grave of Charles
Burrough ?"
"Yes," said Amelia.
The girl unwound yards of waxed
paper from about a magnificent
wreath. It was evidently made up by
a city florist, of pink hot-house roses,
and valley lilies, with maiden-hair fern j
veiling the whole.
"Oh," gasped Amelia, "how beauti-
ful!"
"He always loved pink," said the
girl.
Amelia looked up startled. "You
knew that?" she asked.
"Yes." said the girl. "When I woro
pink bows on my hair he always nd-
mlred them. And there was a little |
pink lawn dress that he made me wear
the night he left me."
"He died ten years ago." said Ame- j
11a. "It Is a long time—did you know
him—just before he died?"
The girl nodded. "He lived out
west In the same town where I
taught. And we were engaged." She
did not see Amelia's start of surprise.
"He came east—just to see his folks,
he said, and then he was to come
back—and wo were to be—married."
"Then he died," the girlish voice1
went on. "and all these years I have
wanted to come and lay a wreath on
his grave. I saved my money so that
I might. And—now I am here—and—
and I can't bear It."
Looking on the other's grief, Ame-
lia wondered why she was unmoved.
She wondered, too, at a certain light'
ness of heart. She felt free—free to 1
live her own life, to love as she
would.
She saw Amos coming up the hill.
She bent over the sobbing girl. "He
loved you," she said tensely; "you
have that to comfort you."
Then she went swiftly down the
hill and met Amos. "I don't just
know what has happened to me," she
said. "Take me away, Amos, take
me where nobody can see me cry."
He led her to a pT.ice screened by
a row of chairs. "What is It, dear
heart?" he asked, tenderly.
She told him. "Was he—as fickle
as that?" she demanded.
"Everybody knew it," he said, "but
you."
"And no one told me Oh, Amos, I
feel so sorry for that girl. Somehow
I don't feel sorry for myself. Per-
haps I've been just clinging to n
dream. But she knew him and lived
close to him and. oh, I hope \ e loved
her best. It would be so trngic if—If
she is mourning a false lover, Amos."
! "And you?" Amos asked.
"I found out after he came east that
he wasn't all that T had thought be
1 was—but I thought he loved mr—v '
it seemed so pitiful for him to be 1
here and alone—with no one to ca
—and so I tried to be true."
There was a light in Amos' eyes a
he bent over her. "And now that he
has some one else to love him—can't
you pity me—Amelia?'-'
"I declare," said Mrs. I^owe'l. a
month later. "Amos says Amelia Is
going to marry him. And when I ack-
ed him his favorite color, he laughtd
and said It was blue."

Chinese Sending Many Fake Antiques
RICH Americans are being fooled on
Chinese antiques, according to
tips sent to Washington by United
States consuls at Hongkong and other
Far Hast ports. Since the revolution
began there has been a craze in Amer-
ica and Europe for souvenirs, and the
fad has been fed on the stories that
royal and other Chinese palaces were
being looted.
The chief Imitations are in porce-
lains and brass, ancient Chinese and
Japanese armor and weapons, old
Corean carved chests and old carved
furniture. Seven large new shops
dealing exclusively In fakes have been
opened In the last year In the prin-
cipal shopping thoroughfare of Hong-
kong. There are now regular auction
sales of bogus porcelains. Similar im-
itations of ancient brasses and
bronzes, ivories, lacquers and other
art objects are sold. The tourists
are cheated even when they go to buy
modern oriental art goods. The
m S
bronzes are base alloys; the silver is
pewter; the silk Is filled with pow-
dered clay.
Silk goods, according to Consul An-
derson at Hongkong, are being adul-
terated to an extent and in a way
never allowed before, and Japanese
and Chinese goods supposed to be
made from native-worked Japanese or
Chinese silks are partly of American
cotton. Silk hosiery is sold which is
not only not all silk, but Is undersized
and otherwise unwearable. Ivories are
of bone or other imitation. Embroid-
ered screens are made of the flimsiest
materials glued to last but a day.
