His Steady Eye.
Clarence was a medical student, and
had not learned enough to undara^awA
that what he did not know would fill
several large books.
One morning the house surgeon
asked him to examine an eye that was
in the head of a man who com plain ad >
of great pain, and to report on the
case later.
With a solemn air, Clarence adjust-
ed the opthalomoscope, and gamea
seriously and long into the patient’s ’
eye. When at last there was no ex-
cuse for gazing any longer bo stood 3
up and said:
"My dear sir—my very, dear air,
if you will allow me to say so, you 1
possess a most remarkable eye. I j
have never in the whole course of my
professional career”—he had left
school about six months previously— 9
"seen an eye like it! Has an opinion 9
ever been passed on it before?"

• Mrs. Herndon and Randell left Aus-
tin in July with the Barnharts for
a tour of Europe but got to Berlin
just st the outbreak of the war. They
remained there only a few days. until
they could get passage to Holland.
From Holland they went to England
and after remaining there several
weeks sailed to Montreal, Canada, and
from there went to Chicago, where
they met Mr. Herndon. From there
the family took a tour of Canada and
the Northwestern States.
Mrs Herndon said yesterday that
she had a very interesting trip and
recited many instances of exciting and
trying times. In Berlin the Germans
were very active and all attention was
given to preparations for war. It was
with difficulty that she got out of
Germany, having to leave on a dense-
ly crowded train.
•The people of foreign countries
are not so polite as Americans.’' said
Mrs. Herndon. "We had to ride in a
crowded rar and sit on our suitcases
from Berlin to Amsterdam."
After spending several weeks in
Engand they sailed on the Cunard
liner Aulonia, which had the same
captain who was captain of the Car-
pathia at the time he picked up the
survivors of the Titanic.
Ths people of England were not so
much excited and did not move
around so rapidly in their preparations
for the war as did the Germans In
Berlin, said Mrs. Herndon. Parks
and the streets were being utilised in
drilling soldiers In preparation to go
to the front. She said too that the
English were confident of victory over
Germany.
"‘We had some thrilling experjences
on the Aulonia on our return to Amer-
foa" said Mrs. Herndon. "The cap-
tain kept the ship’s lights darkened
at night and took every precaution to
prevent our ship being spied out by
the German war vessels. It took ten
days to go from England to Montreal
because for nearly three days we were
traveling among icebergs and had to
go vary slow.
"While in midocean three German
spies were found on the vessel and

David Scott, aged about 35, whs
was brought from Elgin Saturday to
Seton Infirmary for treatment, died at
the infirmary last night at 12 o’clock.
The direct cause of his death was
blood poisoning. The body is being
held by Patterson Undertaking Com-
pany pending funeral arrangementa.
John H. Hill and G. A. Stovall of
San Anionio were stopping at the
Driskill yesterday.
"Well—er, no, not exactly. But the
man who shoved it in said it was a
jolly fine bit of glass.”
BLOD POISON KILLS ELGINrrE.
H. M. Williams of Hyde Park is
confined to his home because of ill-
ness. It is thought an operation for
appendicitis will be necessary.
Major Wilson and E. B. Gore, mem-
bers of the State Board of Water En-
gineers, have returned from Beau-
placed in arms. One of them wua
found in the wireless telegraph rooms,
where he was evidently trying to send
messages to German vessels. Another
was found In the bottom of the ship
and was thought to be planning to
blow up the ship.”
PARIS, Oct. 26.—A Swedish diplo-
mat who arrived here today after a
tour of Germany says the Germans
have mined the prinipal buildings of
Brussels. including the King’s palace
and the city hall, as well as the cen-
tral Boulevard Anspach, with the ob-
ject of dynamiting the city if forced
to evacuate it
and the defense, the trial of Sanchez
was transferred to Travis County.
Meanwhile all State witnesses have
disappeared. Vigil is said to be at
the peace conference of Mexico, now
being held, while the Huerta man
seems to have been swallowed up by
the earth. The motion for continu-
ance submitted yesterday was for the
purpose of securing some of the State
witnesses.
The Sheriff is being defended here
by Attorneys Marshall Hicks and Wal-
lace of San Antonio.

Odd Baby Tender.
The "baby tender” invention and
used to this day in the Island of Mar-
ken in the Zuyder Zee is the substitute
for the cradle which resists the ad-
vance of baby carriages and modern
high chairs. In Marken, babies of
both sexes are dressed exactly alike,
the accepted fashion having been un-
changed for three centuries. At so
early an age is the infant incased in
the stays of this costume that there
is no use for a cradle for babies in
Marken. The child is supported and
kept out from under foot in a wooden
contrivance serving both as a chair
and cradle, which is mounted on small
wheels so that it may be readily
moved about. A shelf in front serves
as a rest or receptacle for food or
playthings.
Secretary George A. Toolan of the
Ran Benito Gommerelal Club has ad-
vised the Texas Industrial Congress
that a new approach to the proposi-
tion of growing hogs on the farm as
a "cash crop” has been made under
the leadership of R. O. Barron, a pro-
gressive farmer of San Benito.
Without waiting for the banks to
furnish the credit Mr. Barron pur-
chased a carload of thoroughbred Du-
roc Jersey sows from the stockyards
at Fort Worth and had them shipped
to San Benito. Then he carefull se-
lected a number of worthy farmers
and leased them one or more sows
each, as the circumstances appeared
to justify. By the terms of the lease
the leasee agreed to care properly for
the %ws. which had all been bred be-
fore shipments, and at the end of
three months to return the sows and
one-half the pigs to Mr. Barron, keep-
ing the other half of the pigs for him-
self. •
Ran Benito can grow a plentiful feed
crop and has mild winters, and Mr.
Toolan states that there are tousands
of hogs on the San Benito tract now
where a year ago there were but hun-
dreds. He also says that hogs can
be and have been raised there at a
production cost of 2% cents per
pound. While Mr. Barron acted upon
his own initiative, he received valu-
able help from the San Benito Com-
mercial Club in carrying out his plan.
The banks of Texas have been and
are leaders In the better farming
movement, and will no doubt render
substantial aid in their own commu-
nities along these lines, but Mr. Bar-
ron's accomplishment shows that any
publie-spirited citizen can intiate this
plan if necessary.
The introduction of hog raising on
a larger scale around San Benito has
not only furnished every grower with
meat, but has also provided a cash
crop that war time conditions will
only render more remunerative. Grain
and sweet sorghums, cowpeas, pea-
nuts and other feed can be grown
cheaply in almost every section of the
State, and a carload of fat hogs mar-
keted twice a year will make a man
a better living than many farmers
have ever made from cotton.

His Version.
Some country youths were visiting
London. They went into the British
museum and saw a mummy, over
which hung a card on which was
printed: "B. C. 87."
They were mystified, and one said-
"What do you make of that, Sam?”
"Well," said Sam. "I should say it
was the number of the motor car that
killed him.”
and had been taking as much money
out of Canadian banks as it possibly
could Property has greatly de-
creased in value Especially have
lumber and horses gone down The
mills have shut down in many in-
stances This of course has greatly
demoralized the prices in the lumber
markets of the United States because
of th* great C’anadian supply. In
California while I was there last week
the price* on lumber were 30 per cent
below what they were a year ago.”
Mr Herndon said that they visited
the Panama Exposition grounds and
that the buildings there are practical-
ly all completed
"The exposition will be great.”

Texas building There is only a
vacant lot which was alloted to Texas,
but the building has not been con-
structed Texas and three others are

It was declared by Mr Herndon
that the Pacific C’oast section is being
hurt lees by- the war than any other
part of the country. The cotton in-
dustry plays no part in the industrial
affair* of that country. He predicted
a great year for that section in 1915

There is a jumble of catchy and fl

The plot runs through various mix* j

norance of the divorce, and he is so 24
kept, although it takes all the wit and: I
ingenuity of nearly the whole excel* I

story ends well, with Delphine and '
Victor reconciled and Alphonse and

is most amusing, others in the cast :
who play particularly well are Mtwy

More "Oh! Oh! Delphines” should
come. Not only did the chief figures
around whom the story is built appeap
to advantage, but the chorus was good
and the music excellent.

"I had a'great time,” said Dr. Scott
last night, "and I consider the dam
a splendid work, and the lake a great
thing for Austin. I shall be delighted
to make frequent visits in the future
to this city to enjoy more splendid
boat rides on Lake Autsin."
The lake filled in a hurry yester-
day because of the big rise that was
on. Several hundred persons wit-

Imprisoned in Ship's Hold.
A remarkable story of a man going
eleven days without food or water
comes from Capetown, South Africa.
The Tiger had 5000 tons of coal on
board. While the coal was being dis-
charged, the laborers were astounded
by seeing a hand emerge from the
heap. In a few moments enough of
the coal was removed to disclose the
body of a man. After he had suf-
ficiently recovered it was gathered
that he was engaged at Delagoa bay
in loading the Tiger. He was work-
ing the bottom when the order was
given for the men to leave the hold,
but this he was unable to do, as the
spot in which he was working had
been imprisoned for eleven days, with-
out food and water, and with no space
in which to turn. Within a few hours

The details of the case of State vs.
Amador Sanchez, whose trial was be-
gun yesterday in the Fifty-third Dis-
trict Court and passed over until to-
day on a motion of continuance,
smack strongly of revolutions, in-
trigues and the general inclinations of
the citizens of the republic to the
south to take the law into their own
hands. The story of the case, as told
by a State witness at a trial in Laredo,
reads like a romance.
The State will endeavor to prove
that Amador Sanchez and Manuel
Vigil were violent partisans in the re-
cent struggle for the reins of govern-
ment in Mexico and both were citi-
zens of the United States and resided
at Laredo. They were Huertistas and
< arranzistas respectively. Sanchez
was the Sheriff of Webb County, while
Vigil was the editor’of a Mexican jour-
nal. Sanchez declared that the editor
was attacking him and his deputies
through the paper, and revenge burn-
ed hotly within him.
Then it was that a Huerta friend
came over the border and the Sheriff
and the Huertist became fast friends,
claims the State. Meanwhile the
fight between the officer and the edi-
tor became hot and many circulars
and bulletins were circulated In reply
to heated editorials, so the State will
endeavor to prove.
The Huertista was sent by Sanchez
one day to the editorial rooms of the
Carranzista, and there he struck up
an acquaintance with the publisher.
Later with others they went to a cafe
and met on the way a party com*
posed of Sanchez and his deputies
who are alleged to have made slight-
ing remarks about the editor. At the
cafe the men seated themselves at ad-
joining tables and an effort was made
by the Huertista to get Vigil to de-
precate Huerta within the hearing of
Sanchez, claims the State.
This effort failed in its purpose, but
upon another pretext a fight was
started and a shooting scrape followed
which seemed to be participated in by
all present. Then the Sheriff and his
deputy, Stoner, were served with
papers to answer charges of assault
to murder.
Stoner was tried first, upon which
occasion the story, as here outlined,
was related. Upon an agreement of
the attorneys of both the prosecution
mont, where they attended a water-
filing hearing.
