The Mysterious Tunnels
of the Alamo.
The mysterious tunnel which leads
In two directions from beneath the
enclent Alamo building In Ban An
tonio ba never been explored. It Is
known that one branch ot the tunnel
rum south for at least two and a halt
miles, to the old Concopclon mission,
and that another branch extends
north from the Alamo to the ruins of
the antiquated stone block house,
which stands in what Is now San
Pedro Park. It is about two miles
from this block house to the Alamo.
The early accounts of the string of
ancient missions which are situated
along the San Antonio River make
no reference to the system of tunnels
which was evidently constructed
about the time the buildings were
erected. It is evident that the exis
tence of these tunnels was not known
to the early settlers. It Is certain
that had the brave American defend
ers of the Alamo known that two
passageways led from beneath the
floor of the structure at the time they
were being besieged by the forces of
Santa Anna they might have escaped
the horrible massacre that befel them
at the bands of the Meilcan horde.
When the American garrison of the
Alamo were surrounded by the Mexi
can troops they knew of no way of
escaping the death that surely await
ed them. So well did the Franciscan
Fathers who built and inhabited these
missions keep the secret of the exis
tence of the tunnels that this knowl
edge did not even come to the early
Mexican settlers of San Antonio. It
was not until about twenty years ago
that the discovery was made that a
tunnel led from the Alamo to the
Concepcton mission and then It was
quite by accident that the under
ground passage was found.
Louis Teborah was digging a well
at his home on South Presa street
when the picks of the workmen
struck a hard substance that proved
to be adobe plaster such as the Fran
clsclan Fathers taught the Indians of
this section to make In the early days.
A few strokes of a pick made an open
ing In this concrete wall and a cavern
was exposed to view. Toborah and
the laborers who were digging the
well descendj'i Into the opening and
found that It was not a cave, as they
supposed, but was a tunnel, with a
width of about i.ve feet and a height
of seven feet. The concrete layer of
two or three Inches In thickness
formed the walls and arched roof,
while the floor or bottom of the pas
sageway was of dirt. The tunnel was
explored by Teborah and others for
distances of several hundred yards
It. both directions. Further progress
was blocked by cave-Ins which had oc
curred, filling the passages with dirt
and debris. One end of the explored
tunnel crossed under the San Antonio
River. In order to get a safe dis
tance under the bed of the stream
the tunnel was lowered several feet
at the crossing point, flights of stone
steps connecting the two levels. It
Is thought that the tunnel runs in an
almost direct line between the block
house on the north to the Concepcton
mission on the south, by way of the
Alamo, and if this theory Is correct
the river crosses above It no less than
a dozen times.
The opening Into the tunnel In the
Alamo Is situated in one of the cells
of the monks. Centuries of disuse
havo caused it tc fill with debris, and
no effort has ever been made to clean
It out and conduct an exploration so
f as known. The same condition
Is true of the entrances beneath the
block house and at Concepcton mis
sion. Since the discovery made by
Teborah the tunnel has been encoun
tered at several other points on its
course. While excavating for the out
fall sewer that leads south out of the
city tho tunnel was broken into and
considerable difficulty was experi
enced in building the brick sewer
across it. It not lnirequently happens
that the tunnel is struck while exca
vating for tho foundations for houses.
It Is curious that no systematic ex
ploration of this ancient relic of the
Franciscan Fathers has ever been at
tempted. It is believed that the tun
nel does not stop at the Concepcion
mission, but that It extends all tho
way to the San Francisco do la Eapa
da mission, situated nine miles south
of San Antonio, connecting en route
tho San Jose end the San Juan mis
sions. All these ancient structures
are built close to the San Antonio
River, and are surrounded by little
v villages of Mexicans. These mission
buildings were erected nearly two
centuries ago and it is supposed that
the tunnel, which probably connects
nil of them, was constructed about
the same time. The block house In
San Pedro Park was built at a later
date, and It Is considered likely that
the branch tunnel which leads to It
was built some time after the pas
sageway to the missions was finished.
There Is much speculation as to
the original object of the system of
tunnels. The Franciscan Fathers had
little to fear from the Indians. They
were beloved by the members of the
tribes who inhabited this part of the
country In tho early daya. Notwith
standing the fact that the venture
somo missionaries made the Indians
perform the hard labor of construct
ing tho mission buildings, no trouble
ever urose between the devout Fran
ciscans and the redskins, .. It is prob
able that the real object of this tun
nel, connecting some, if not all, of
the missions along the San Antonio
River, was to afford the monks an
opportunity of visiting each other
without the knowledge of the Spanish
military and civil authorities who
:
made their headquarters in San An
tonio. An exploration and rehabilitation
of this ancient system of tunnels
might lead to many Interesting dis
coveries, it Is thought. In the Imag
inative minds of some persons the
treasure room of the Franciscan
monks Is situated at somo point on
the line ot the underground passage
way, and perhaps it may still contain
a store of vast wealth.
The Mexican Inhabitants of the lit
tle villages situated adjacent to the
missions have a superstitious dread
of the mysterious tunnel. None of
them could bo Induced to enter the
dark and gruesome passagewny. Old
Don Pedro, as he is called, the vet
eran Mexican who Is In charge of
Concepcion mission, Is voluble ns he
shows tho visitor through that an
cient pile of stone and mortar until
be comes to the entrance to the tun
nel. "And, pray, what Is this?" the in
quiring sightseer may nsk.
Don Jose shrugs his shoulders and
raises his hands as if in muto suppli
cation that he be spared from further
questioning. If the visitor persists in
bis efforts to learn something about
the tunnel, Don Jose protests that the
mysterious passageway could have
served no good purposo In Its time
and that Us construction was prob
ably the work of the devil.
"It be full of B-p-e-e-r-I-t-s," he
will say. "How came It there nobody
knows. Have I not heard the rumb
lings of the s-p-e-e-r-l-t-s when the
night Is dark? Do they not hold high
revelry In their dark home when the
world above them is quiet and at
rest? Perhaps they may be clamor
ing to be released from their impris
onment In tho underground tavern,
but It Is not for me to do this. They
might spread sickness and misfortune
among us; It Is best that they remain
where they are," and Don Juan turns
away from the spot and quickly leads
the way to the outside of the crumb
ling edifice, where a flood of sunlight
destroys the depressing effect of his
recital. The Buperstltleus belief of
Don Juan may be assumed for the
benefit of the tourists whom ho es
corts through the mission, but it Is
shared by many of his people In the
village.
The Franciscan Fathers who estab
lished these missions also taught the
Indians how to cultivate the soil. One
of the oldest Irrigation ditches' upon
the continent extends along the river
valley adjacent to these missions.
This "mother ditch," ns It was called,
is still In good condition, although it
has been more than a century since it
was used. Another relic of these
missionaries is a stone nqueducr.
which is situated near the Can Jose
mission. It spans the San Antonio
River, and is still In use, although it
was built two centuries ago. Search
has been made from time to time for
an opening Into the tunnel that is be
lieved to exist in the stone abutments
beneath this ancient bridge, but none
has ever been found. San Anlnnio

BIG BUSINESS MEN EASY MARKS
Makd Losses In Bad Speculations as Often or
Oftener Than Average Citizen.
Another notion that Is prevalent
but erroneous Is that successful men
make no fool or bad Investments.
The world In general don't know
about the foolish or bad investments
made by successful business men.
The man with a little money who
dabbles in speculation and loses is
apt to go around to his friends be
wailing his hard luck, but the suc
cessful business man keeps his losses
from bad investments a profound se
cret as a general rule. This is partly
because he is ashamed to acknowl
edge that he made a mistake in bis
Judgment of an Investment nnd part
ly because It is- -aomo damage to a
business man to have it known that
he has sustained losses. When a re
port of that kind does get out it is
generally exaggerated Just as the
wealth of a rich man is generally
supposed to be a good deal more than
It actually Is.
However, If you get right next to
tho average business man you will
find that he has frequently Invested
in speculations ot one kind and an
other, and that he hat lost on those

Great Reduction In Their Number
Influence They Onro Exerted.
The visit of three Koroan court
ladles to Japan Is an Indication of the
striking changes that havo resulted
from the Japanese occupation of the
Hermit Kingdom. Two years ago
there were no fewer than 1800 ladies
at wailing, now there are only 100.
This wholesale reduction naturally
created consternation, and there was
much lamentation among those whose
services were dispensed with. Their
lot, however, do 33 not seem to have
been altogether enviable. It appears
that It has been the custom to take
girls Into tho court from tho age 'of
ten, and thenceforth throughout the
whole period of their natural Uvea
they were never allowed to leave the
precincts of tho palace, so that they
lived in absolute ignorance of the

The few who accompanied the Em
peror on his recent tour gave evi
dence of tho timidity which had re
sulted from their long confinement,
for they could hardly be persuaded
to enter the train, nnd they finally
did so with manifest trepidation.

Advertisement as a Germicide.
Advertisement Is expensive. The
first thing an advertiser needs to
make sure ot Ib that the wares he
offers are worth the cost of offering
them. Sometimes they are not, and
still the advertisement may be profit
able because ot the vast supply of
folks In the world who are ready to
be persuaded and do not know when
they are fooled. It Is a reasonable
presumption, however, that commo
dities that are advertised Impressive
ly and long are worth advertising,
because shrewd adventurers In trade
nre loath to spend good money in
recommending bad goods. This pre
sumption, unfortunately, does not ex
tend to tho persons upon whom adver.
Using Is forced. They may be super
latively worthy of attention or quite
unworthy of It. Their examples may
be directly profitable as examples to
follow, Indirectly ns examples to
avoid, or unprofitable because they
possess a garish attraction which mis
leads the foolish. It is all one to
their advertisers, whose only aim is
to find a profit in satisfying public
curiosity nnd who are as ready to do
it by exposing the folly of the foolish
ns by expounding the wisdom of tho
wise. The beat that can be said of
advertisement of this sort Is that pub
licity, like sunshine, Is a great germi
cido and that some of the most per

"Adam ami Eve's."
The papers referred recently to the
erection of a "shaft" as a memorial to
Adam, dwelling on the "fact" that it
was the first monument to the first
man. That may be so, but in Dublin,
Ireland, there havo been two edifices
raised not to Adam alone but Adam
and Eve.
in the end of the seventeenth cen
tury a saloon was opened In Cook
street, "Tho Sign ot Adam and Eve."
So popular was tho sign that when
tho Franciscan Friars opened a
church near by their prior. Father
Francis Walsh, adopted tho name
to draw the citizens to another kind
of spiritual consolation, it was an
ill-fated building, though, for in 1714
it fell, bringing death to a vast crowd
which had assembled to hear a
famous preacher, Sylvester Lloyd,
bishop of Watertord.
The church was rebuilt through tho
efforts of Bishop Lloyd, and from
time to time additions have been
made, till now it stands one of the
finest Franciscan convents in Ireland.
Some busybodios not approving of the
quaint old title had It officially
changed a few years ago Into "The
Church of St. Francis of Asslsi," but
the Irish are no lovers of new things,
so the old cognomen stuck, and to

AMERICAN PEOPLE
THE MOST UNHAPPY.
If You've Prospered You Are
Miserable, Say Prof. Small, ol
Chicago University.
According to Professor Albion W.
Small, head of the Department of So
ciology of the University of Chicago,
every one Is miserable who Is pros
perous. Ho told this to the Woman's
Club.
"We modern Americans," he said,
"are the most unhappy people that
have ever lived on the face of the
earth. Why?
"Because we are the most prosper
ous people.
"Because we are the freest people.
"Because we are the most highly
educated.
"Misery does not make people dis
satisfied as much as prosperity. It Is
not those who are the most miserable
nor those who Inck the most of social
or material wealth whose dissatisfac
tion over their condition breaks out
Into revolutions for reform.
"Take the great revolutions of
modern history tho French Revolu
tion or the Civil War, for example
and you will note that the respective
countries in which these agitations
developed were not ripe for revolu
tion until they had come to a certain
degree of prosperity, which devel
oped the idea of personal rights and
liberties.
"The main reason why, In my judg
ment, there will be no revolution In
Russia for a long time to come Is the
fact that the common people of that
country are so miserable that they
have been, and will long be, unable
to develop a dissatisfaction acute
enough to break into forcible resist
ance. "In the same manner freedom and
education make for unhapplness.
They bring serious responsibilities.
They make the individual feel and
ee the actual inequality of men.
"They flood society with problems
that tax the mind and sear the heart.
So various are the appeals which they
make to our intellects and our feel
ings that we reach for a remedy and
then, lobster like, we travel backward
to find bow near it fits the disease.
"Our American forefathers hit npon
political democracy as the remedy for
all social wrongs. We have tried It.
We have twisted It and stretched It
and revised it and have In the end

RAISING DUCKS.
Case in Point Where They Did Uettcr
Without Water.
We confess that after raising ducks
in a small way for three years wo
cannot satisfactorily say whether it Is
profitable to raise ducks without giv
ing them access to water. This year
we raised them without letting them
havo access to water, excepting for
drinking purposes. During the sum
mers of 1906 and 1907 we raised 200
Mammoth Peklns and the youngsters
took to the water within eighteen
hours after being taken from the ln
rubator or within twenty-four hours
after the old hen came off tho nest
with them.
Tho water, a small stream, was
within 300 yards of tho hatching
place and every duck, with one ac
cord, took a bee lino for It, says a
writer in Farm and Home. We had
good luck with them. This year we
kept watch of the youngsters for sev
eral weeks, keeping them away from
tho water. In a few weeks they
would range around the feed within
twenty paceB of the brook but have
never taken a swim. We have the
Pekln and the Indian Runner breeds,
and for the past sixty days or more
they have grazed in the pasture,
often going almost to the edge of the
brook.
They seem to bo perfectly healthy
nnd content and we have not lost a
cluck by disease, nor had any-sick or
ailing. After eating, they go through
all tho motions of a swim, dipping
themselves and going through tho
motions as if they were In the water.
We like ducks because they are so
healthy and so easily controlled. We
aim to market the Pekins nt ten
weeks old nnd expect such ducks to
average fully five pounds or over. To
reach these figures they must not
have too much range or too much ex
ercise. It seems to me that the
breeding ducks should have free ac
cess to water. I believe the eggs
will be more fertile and tho ducks
healthier and stronger.

Artificial Eyes of Ancient Origin.
Artificial eyes were known long be
fore spectacles were discovered. They
have been found on the faces of Egyp
tian mummies, literally on, for the
exes were pasted onto the face and
not Inserted in the eye socket. The
marble onto a piece of flesh colored
cloth. The marble was then painted
to resemble an eye, and the whole
was pasted onto the face over the f
cant eye socket. One well may lma
In e that the result 'was not untlreir
artistic, but tho mummies do not ap
pear dissatisfied with the artificial
optics. Gold eyeballs came later, and
these were In turn followed by glas
eyes. The art of making artificial
eyes has progressed so greatly that
opticians can now supply eyes which
tho wearer may move In his head In
a manner perfectly natural.
There nre two classes of artificial
eyes, those kept In stock and those
made to order. The former are made
largely in Germany and the art Is con
fined to a comparatively few families.
It Is handed down from father to son.
The made-to-order kind are found In

AN OLD TTHER
Has Had Experiences.
A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market know
from experience the wisdom of using
Postum In place of coffee if one Tal
ues health and a clear brain. She
says:
"At the time Postum was first pot
on the market I was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or coffee. Finally I decided to take
his advice and try Postum. I got a
package and had it carefully pre
pared, finding It delicious to the taste.
So I continued Its use and very toon
Its beneficial effects convinced me ot
Us value, for I got well of my nerv
ousness and dyspepsia.
"My husband had been drinking
coffee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and I persuaded
him to shift to Postum. It waa easy
to get him to make the change, for
the Postum Is so delicious. It cer
tainly worked wonders for him.
"We soon learned that Postum
does not exhilarate or depresar'and
does not stimulate, but steadily and
honestly strengthens the nerves and
the stomach.
"To make a long story short, our
entire family continued to use Pos
tum with satisfying results, as shown
in our fine condition of health, and
we have noticed a rather unexpected
Improvement in brain and nerve pow
er." Increased brain and nerve power
always follows the use of Postum In
place of coffee, sometimes In a very
marked manner. "There's a Rea
