lj[ THE OLD STONE FORT
T * *4*

The Daughters of the Republic
making special efforts to preserve the
historic landmarks of Texas, among
which is jpnmbered the ruins of the
old stone house at Nacogdoches. This
\ld building was torn down ten years
ago to make way for the building of
a two story brick building, and the
/rock of which the /Id house was built
were piled indiscriminately on a va-
cant lot In the city.
There they lie today and with the
combined work of sunshine, wind and
rain wH) soon crumble into a mass of
waste. Numerous efforts have been
organised to rebuild the old fort but
so far all have been futile.
According to the most authentic his-
tory the old stone fort was built in
1778 by a Spaniard. Capt. Oil y Bar-
bo, and was used by him as a store
house, residence and place of refuge
and defense. The old fort passed
through many changes and vicissi-
tudes and witnessed many remarkable
historical incidences and events, in
Its career. ,
Its building In the first Instance
was due In a large measure to the de-
termination on the part of Spain to
resist French aggression and intru-
sion on the east, by establishing
chain of missions from the Rio
Grande river on the west to the Sa-
bine river on the east.
b> fact one or two missions were
actually built east of the Sablnekriver,
It might be well said that theVralld-
lag of the old tort at Nacogdocbea
was the last link la the historfd mis-
sion chain that stretched across Texas.
Id 1778 when the fort was built, Tex
as belonged to Spain and all the ter
ritory afterwards known as the Louisi-
ana Purchase, belonged to France.
From watching the French in 1778
In Louisiana, the Spaniards now turn
ed to watching the Americans, who in
the long run proved more troublesome
and dangerous.
In 1820-24 Spain lost ber claim and
titjc to Teum And was succeeded by
Mexico, a former province that had
revolted and set up a government on
Its own hook.
During this-period many remarkable
things took place at Nacogdoches and
In the country of which It was the
csp.tor.jl£'^Sg|..........
All of Nolan's friends were brought
there and imprisoned in the old tort
for a time, among them being the
afterwards celebrated Bills P. Bean.
In 1806 General Hererra' the famous
Spanish diplomat passed through
Nacogdoches on his way to meet Gen.
Wilkinson of the United States army,
on the Sabine. During his stay at
Nacogdoches Herrerra stopped in the
old tort. ' ,
A tow days latter he met Gen. Wil-
kinson and Joined him la the famous
treaty of the neutral ground.
In 1112 Magee's, republican army of
the north, organised in the neutral
ground marched to Nacogdoches and
Its headquarters for a time In
old stone tort. It Is said that the
printing proas ever used In Texas
written higher than the position It now
occupies In the pioneer and truly he-
roic period of this country. Edwards
was a direct descendant of Jonathan
Elwards. and related by blood to
Aaron Burr with whom he was per-
sonally acquainted It Is thought by
many people and especially, students
of history that Edwards' Ide* In es
tabllshlng the Ft^donia Republic was
the attempt to carry out the great
Southwestern Republic scheme of
Aaron Burr. Both plans were built
upon a magnificent scale and f either
could have been realized It woald have
changed the entire history of this
country and especially of the great
Southwest. Ixwking at the negative
side of history and comparing the
same with the condition apd environ-
ments of that day and time, what
would have been the result if Burr
bad established his Southwestern Con-
federacy?
We should have had no state of
Texas, nor any state west of the
Rocky Mountains. Our western bound-
ary would have been identical with
the present limits of the Louisiana
Purchase.
But we digress: Haden Edwards
entered Into a contract with the Mexi-
can government to establish a num-
ber of colonists in Eartern Texas. He
was called an empressario, and was
to receive a certain amount of land for
his services.
He got into some kind of trouble
at Nacogdoches with the Mexican au-
thorities and they abrogated his con-
tract In s spirit of revenge Ed-
wards proceeded to organise the Fre-
donian Republic.
■tTsie plan provided that Texas should
be cut In twain—by a line running due
west from a point near Nacogdoches
to the Rio Grande river, thence up
said river to Its source In the Rocky
mountains, thence with said moun-
tains thence to the Louisiana. Pur-
elutse, and then south with the line of
said Purchase tooths mouth of Sul-
phur Fork, and thence in a straight
line to the place of beginning near
Nacogdoches.
This magnificent domain was to be
cut half and half, the Indians to occupy
the northern half and the Americans
the southern. No mention is made of
slavery, in spite of the fact that one
or two Texas historians state that
Edwards specifically contends that
slavery should be permitted.
Edwards and his friends took posses-
ion of the old stone fort snd drew up
the Fredonian Declaration of Inde-
pendence, the first instrument of its
kind ever penned west of the origi-
nal thirteen colmrigg,
Jefferson the author of the Ameri-
can Declaration of Independence was
Porn and raised in Virgins—so was
Haden Edwards.
as Houston, Husk, Austin, Henderson,
Zavalla and numberless others whe
names are perishable. The old stone
fort knew thd sheltered them all
fromlime to time.
In 1845 ddwn came the Lone Star,
and In its place was put the Stars and
Stripes. In 1861 the Stars and Stripes
were taken down and the Stars and
Bars of the Confederate States of
America raised, only to be replaced
four years later by the Bonny Blue
flag again.
Thfbugh each and all of these event-
ful periods the stone fort stood an ob-
ject of veneration and interest, and
though It is now a shapeless mass of
rubbish it will ever live In the historic
annals of a past rich in romance, poet-
ry, tragedy and %?ng.
KAPLAN’S COOKING CLUB. ■»
Young Gentlemen Are Studying the
Art of Preparing Viands
The young ladies of Crowley have a
rival for'honors In the culinary art. At
Kaplan the young men are Interest-
ing themselves in the work , of prepar-
ing tempting viands. At the first lun-
cheon the following menu was served.
Boiled Salt Shoulder.
Boiled Eggs Uneeda Biscuit
Beer in Can
More Shoulder and Eggs
Pepper Sauce Condensed Milk
Home Run Cigarettes
The instructor of the class gives the
following receipt for boiling shoulder:
TO BOIL SALT SHOULDER.
All Rights Reserved.
To boll salt shoulder, first catch
your bird. Some persons use a seine
for this purpose, but if you have any
sporting blood in you, use a hook and
line. After removing ail scales, feath
ors, etc., immerse in a kettle of cold
waterand let it boil so gently that
the water will be about the same tem-
perature as the weather during dog
days. By so doing the ham can float,
swim and dive in the kettle, and come
to the table along with the other
guests In a not over-heated condition.
It is at times very embarrassing to
be forced to excuse yourself to re-
move the perspiration from the brow
of an overheated ham It will require
sixty-six minutes to boll a shoulder
of salt meat that weighs six pounds,
and of course twice as long for one
weighing twice as much. Serve with
other vegetables and drinkables.—

Within the last three-quarters of a

A little stream had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
passing stranger scooped a well,
Where weary men might turn;
He wailed it in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But Judged that all might drink.
He passed again, and lo! the well.
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching
tongues
And saved a life beside.

That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath—

It saved a soul fipm death.

The spaniel is so called because the
original breed came from Spain, and
the first arrivals in England were
called Spanish dogs.

Brlefly Told Hard Luck Story.
The teacher of a primary grade in
one of the public schools In the Eigh-

ment that goes straight to the mar-

children to dig in the dirt. What If

reading the other day the fierce com-
plaint of a Baltimore mother against
the plan of teaching the children to
dig, "said a man who takes an Interest
in the young idea,” and she was not
particularly tame in the Way she put
the complaint. Here is the way she
addressed a Baltimore paper: Can
not your excellent paper do something
to stop the rldiculouq teaching in the
public schools? Why this digging in
the sand on lots from 9 to 12 o’clock,
ruining their clothes? What a condl
tlon to enter a classroom, perspiring
and muddy! Think of the money
wasted to pay supervisors to teach
boys to dig in the dirt. Many moth-
ers send their children to school to
keep them out of the dirt I send
mine to learn to write, spell and read
and, of course, study of other things.
Teachers who can not make the
scholars learn have the liberty to let
them make chairs, tables, etc. Some-
thing must be done, and something
will be done, if only the parents will
write and !et the public know. Teach-
ers dare not open their mouths. Now,
this complaint may be all right, but
