The State of Texas, born some sixty years too late to assist in the revolu- tionary events of '76, has its own In- dependence day in addition to the na- tional Fourth of July, which it shares, however, with it! gter states. This patriotic state celo®ation occurred on April 21, the seventieth anniversary of the fight at the San Jacinto, where 800 Texans gave double their number of Mexicans one of the completest drub- bings in military history. Every schoolboy knows the story of San Jacinto as told in the books, But there is in the Southwest a fire-side tale about it which deserves to be bet- ter known, It is that the night before the battle, the Mexican general, Santa Ana, sent a flag of truce to the Texan camp with a summons to surrender and an offer of pardon. Grim old Sam Houston, the “father” of Texas, heard the message and said to one of his aids: Little Italy ‘has two mysteries » cleared up, and breathes more freely. |! One is why Angelino Pascalini worked guage everybody knew aAngelino could not read. Angelino is now married— and the two mysteries deal with this marriage. In order that it may be known who Angelino is, let it be stated that he hailed_from Genoa, in Big Italy—from and the sky is tinted blue and red; where men work slowly and live easily, | t the money is very scarce. In the course of the eighteen years which had rolled over Angelino’s head before a far-seeing padrone packed him into the steerage of a very uncertain ship and. sent him sailing over the hiuy |p water to America, it may be woubted | if Angelino had seen altogether of his own as much money as the equivalent of five dollars.

The defenders of the Alamo, though bound by no law like those of Ther- mopylae, disdained to surrender. They knew too well, from the fate of Nolan and his hunters a generation before ate.

For twelve days they held their post against thirty times their number and then they died, still fighting. How they died—how Travis fell a- cross the cannon—how Davie Croc- kett lay in the courtyard in a ring of foes—how the intrepid Bowie, the in- ventor of the terrible bowie knife, fought to the end on the bed from which he could not rise—how not one man, by the testimony of their enemies, even tried to escape—how the half dozen that were overpowered and dis- armed were then cut down—is a tale with which the world still rings and will ring so long as dauntless courage is admired. It was a deed from which no man among its Texan doers came to tell the tale. It is a tale whose truth is as- sured by the fact that it could be told only by the victors whose shame it was, and not by the vanquished whose glory it was. It ranks above Ther- mopylae in the annals of manly forti- tude. As has been well said: ‘“‘Ther- mopylae had its messenger of defeat: the Alamo had none!” Texas is indeed fortunate that her history, as all the world knows it and as it lives in the hearts of her own and all the American people, began with the Alamo. As a battle, the Alamo was a defeat... As an inspiration to brave deed and patriotic achievement for generations of Americans yet un- born, it is the splendor and the glory of Texas. id WIFE LEADS BLIND 9 ® Boautifu 'otticoat is made tholates of the best quality spun Taffeta, with aly ¢, afull 10-inch flo ,andextraruflies Form sgarmensis the lateststyle Fitting extra full, with tight fitting Corset, iis poiticnt fre, toe with fancy © corsey descr 24 of our handsom trimmed es at 10¢ each, top, friends will buy medium to help you earn these beautiful walst and prosents.
