THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, MONDAY. DECEMBER R. 18!)1
THE DRAGON.
Warerly U«g«ilno.
The combination of circumstances that
served to bring Miss Damon to L money-
less, but determined, was known to nobody.
All that any one know o( her was imparted
9y a brief Btatemont made by the editor of
iho Dispatoh to tho offoct that on a cortain
blustering afternoon in January sho hail
walked into the office and askod for employ-
ment.
He had declined hor sorvices with thanks,
but she earao again and again, until one day
sho found a vacant desk, sat down at it, and
had been there over since.
She wrote two or throe caustic articles,
struck at one or two local atrocities, and in a
little whilo made an onviable reputation for
bitterness and cynicism. Her name got out,
and after that everything that appeared in the
paper was unhesitatingly set down to ber
Credit.
She was not known outside of tho ollice, but
(he impressions that provailed concerning her
rere not flattering.
It was generally agreed that she knew too
much to be young, was too cynical to be
agreeable, and there was a theory current
among the paper's readers that sho had been
crossed in love and disappointed in her liter-
ary aspirations.
She did hor work in the day time, and was
little more than a myth to the men who spent
their nights in journalistic harness. They were
frequently questioned ahout her, and they
generally answered all questions by the broad
but meaning statement that she did not "run
with the gang." -i
Soon aftor she began hor mark in her new
sphere a book 6f verses appeared, writton by a
gentleman of L , Ueorge Lawrence. Copies
were sent to all the papers, and one of these
fell into the hands of Miss Damon.
She prefaced her criticism with the remark
that the verses were not uniformly bad, but
ranged from bad to very bad; and then mer-
cilessly impaled the author to the extent of
three-quarters of a column.
Lawrence had never forgiven her. He re-
ferred to her ever afterward as "tho dragon"
and "imperial dragon." The criticised versi-
fier experienced some satisfaction at having
thus baptized her with indignation, but he by
no means considered himself avonged, and at
the mere mention of her name his musoles
grow rigid and every artery throbbed with a
wild desire for vengeance.
Being otever with a pencil, he made a sketch
of her, which embodied the popular impres-
sion that she was a shrewish person of uncer-
tain age, and it was u source of endless amuse-
ment to himself and friend#.
Lawronce was a good deal depressed, but he
did not intend to be Bnu£fed out in this sum-
mary fashion, however, and though for a time
he attempted nothing in a literary way, he
was casting about for a fresh motive, resolved
at no distant date to make another effort.
"The dragon" bad recommended prose j he
would try prose.
In the meantime summer had come, and
Lawrence was to spend several months with
some friends in California. When he returned
he would go to work in earnest.
Lawrence, on his way to California, had
stopped to spend a day at Manitou. He had
reached the springs the evening before, and
was finishing his breakfast thiB bright morn-
ing in the great Sahara of a dining room when
the waiter came in to announce the carriage
he had ordered for the day.
For the last half hour the gallery in front
of the hotel had been thronged with tourists,
ready to begin the day's sight-seeing, and the
double line of vehicles drawn up outside were
being loaded with all possible dispatch.
As Lawrence emerged from the dining
room the last wagon drove up to the door and
a lady was on the point of getting in, when
the driver said:
"Beg your pardon, ma'am, but this carriage
is for the gentleman."
"But I ordered a carriage for this morn-
ing."
''Your order was too late. They were all
engaged. This waB the last one in the sta-
bles. I can give you one to-morrow."
"1 shall not be here to-morrow."
"Maybe the gontleman's going to stay over
a day or two and would just as soon drive to-
morrow," suggested the driver.
By this time Lawrence had come up.
"If you can give me a horse and saddle it
will answer my purpose just as well," he said.
"I haven't got a horse."
"As I leave to-inorrow on tho early train,"
said Lawrence, "I can not conveniently post-
pone my drive. But we are probably going in
tho same direction, and I should be delighted
to accommodate you with a Beat in the vehi-
cle."
There was nothing else to be done. She ac-
cepted with thanks.
Lawrence handed her into tho carriage and
thought, as their eyes met, that she was not
an unpromising companion. He was a gre-
garious animal. He hated being alone, es-
pecially in a crowd, and a ohance acquaint-
ance was not to be despised.
He handed her his card. She looked at the
name, raised her brows slightly, dropped the
card into her handbag, and then, lookixur
squarely at him,said: ^
"My name is Vincent."
It was a delightful drive, and neither re-
gretted the circumstances that brought them
together. They dined at the same table and
finished up the sights in the afternoon.
He met her at tho door as Bhe was about to
enter the ballroom in the evening.
She wore a dresB of black laoe, with a
sleeveless corsage that displayed a pair of
superb arms and a smooth, white neck. He
thought, as he stood there looking past her
into the ballroom, that no carving could be
more classic than her profile.
The ballroom was full of promenaders.
They passed out on the veranda and sat talk-
ing the moonlight.
Occasionally they would return and beguile
the intervals, waltzing when the music per-
mitted, until tho crowd of dancers began to
thin and the parlor clock struck 1.
"I really must go now," said Miss Vincent
rising. "There Is 1 o'clock, and I must leave
at 8. Good night."
"Which way do you go to-morrow?" asked
Lawrence.
"East. I must be at home by the 20th."
"And where 1b home?"
She gave the name of a village about fifty
milea distant from the town where she lived.
"I'll see you in the morning," he said. "I
believe we leave this place on the same train,
so I won't say goodby. And now, just one
more dance—the last."
Down the long gallery they floated into the
shadow and out into the light, his clasp
gradually tightening as they went, her face
against his shoulder and his head bent forward
until his cheek touched her hair.
The muBio ceased suddenly, but the arm
about her waist did not relax. She gave a
furtive, upward glance, then dropped her
eyes.
With a swift movement of his left hand he
drew her arm up until it encircled his neck,
loaned forward and kiBsed her. She darted
away like a swallow, and he caught a last
glimpse of her as she turned a corner of the
stairway.
When Lawrenco came down to breakfast
next morning it was nearly 9 o'clock. The
early train had gone. So had Misa Vincent.
It was summer again. The work Lawrence
contemplated a year ago was unfinished. He
had acted on the suggestion of his critic, he
had turned Pegasus out to graze and given
his attention to proae.
The result was a novel—the story of a day-
called "En Route," which he assured his
friends was suggested by an incident of his
western trip.
The book had been published, and review-
ers, to use his own phrane, had "lot him down
easy," and he was much surprised to find him-
self gently and affably treated by the Dis-
patch.
The writer was not surprised to find so in-
different a poet capable of producing a tale so
pleasing and graceful, so full of felicitous de-
scription, so fresh and unhackneyed.
It was understood that the young man was
under a solemn promise never again to at-
tempt verse, and, in consideration of this as-
surance and the promise of suocess held out by
the latter work, It was but just that the publio
should extinguish its resontuient and take the
author to a forgiving and indulgent bosom.
There followed a criticism in which the
claims of the book were soriously treated and
by tho time Lawrence had finished the perusal
he was thinking that after all he might have
been a little too fierce iu his resontuient upon
a previous occasion.
Thero arose within him a desire to mako
amends in some way for his own derision of
this porson, who, howover hard upon him at
flrnt, was cloarly without malic# in the matter,
and had no doubt in each instance oxpressei:
an honest conviction.
He wroto a noto iu which he acknowledged
the courtesy, and asked leave to call and
thank the writer in person. Ho had a fow
copies that had been handsomely bound, in
tended as souvenirs for his friends. He would
be most happy to prosent ono as a token of
his appreciation.
The reply to his friendly overture was writ-
ten upon a card, across the upper left hand
corner of which was tho day of tlie week in
gilt lettering; op the opposite corner was a
pen and ink sketch of St. Georgo in the act of
vanquishing tho dragon. Below was written:
"Miss Damon will be at home to Mr. Law-
renco this evening at 8 o'clock, 705 West
Broadway."
This sketch, despite tho limitod space it
occupied, was spirited and indicated a knowl-
edge of hor unflattering sobriquet.
As he looked up at his own skotch on the
wall he was conscious of a strong impulso to
destroy it.
At 8 o'clock that evening Lawrence, bear-
ing his poaco offering in gilt and morocco,
rang Miss Damon's bell. Ho was ushered
into tho parlor and in a fow moments heard
the rustling of drapery behind him.
As he arose he encountered a slendor figure
in a toilet of black lace.
"Miss Vincent," he said exultmgly, "I have
boon looking for you everywhere. I have
written you innumerable letters and I have
been four times to that horrible hole of a town
where you said you lived. Why did you do-
ceive me so cruelly?"
"Why did I deceivo you? Well, I did not
think it would add anything to your pleasure
just thon to know the truth."
A horriblo presentiment seized him.
"Then—then—your name—is not Vincent?'
"Yes; Alice Vincent-Damon."
"You know me of course?" he faltered.
"Yos."
"Don't you think you have taken rather a
moan advantage of me?"
"No; I think the truth would have spoiled a
very ploasant day."
A week or two latter, as Lawrence was sit-
ting in his room, his friend HarriBon came in,
took a Beat on the opposite side of tho table,
and, after gazing at his host for some time
with a most lugubrious expression, Baid:
"Old man, iB this all truo that I hear about
you?"
"What do you hear?"
"That you have actually caught tho
dragon."
Lawrence laughed.
"What does it mean?" persisted Harrison.
"It means that at last I am about to take
my revenge. I intend to marry her."
Lawrenco made this announcement with
dramatic intensity, and Harrison, who had
arisen, dropped limply into a chair.
After a pause ho pointed to a skotch on the
wall and asked pathetically:
"I say, Lawrence, does she look like that?"
Lawrenco reversed a photograph that was
standing on tho mantelpiece with its face to
the wall, and holding it before Harrison Baid:
"She looks like that, and she iB the heroine
of my story."
How Some Old Sayings Originated.
Harpor'i Young People.
It seems strange to speak of the United
States as "Brother Jonathan," and the won-
der iB how it ever began, but, on inquiring
into the matter, v/e find that the custom
arose from an ordinary remark made by
General Washington at tho beginnmg of the
revolutionary war. On goiug to Massachu-
setts to organize the army he found it scant
of ammunition and all means of defense, and
no one could suggest any way out of the dif-
ficulty. Something must be done at once for
the public safety, and General Washington,
who had great confidence in the judgment of
Governor Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut,
said in this dilemma: "We must consult
Brother Jonathan on the subject."
"Brother Jonathan" wan equal to the occa-
sion and supplied many of the lacking neces-
sities, and afterward, during the war, it be-
camo the custom in any emergency to soy:
"We must oonsult Brother Jonathan." In
time the name became applied to the whole
country, and it it pleasant to know that the
great Washington himself was the originator
of It.
"Robbing Peter to pay Paul" was first used
when Westminster abbey was called St. Pe-
ter's cathedral. Money being needed to settle
the accounts of St. Paul's cathedral, it was
taken by those in authority from St. Peter's,
quite to tho dissatisfaction of the people, who
asked: "Why rob St. Peter to pay St. Paul?"
Over 200 years afterward the saying was again
used in regard to the same churches at tho
death of the earl of Chatham, the city of
London declaring that so groat a statesman
should be buried in St. Paul's, while parlia-
ment insisted that one so noble in every way
would be more properly placed amid the dust
of kings yi Westminster abbey, and that not
to bury him there would be for tho second
time robbing St. Peter to pay St. Paul."
The abbey vary justly carried the day.
"There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and tho
lip" is a very old Baying, and was first uttered
to the king of Samos, an island in the Grecian
archipelago. This king, Ancajus by name,
planted a vineyard, and treated tho slaves who
cultivated it so badly that one of them told
hiin he would never live to tasto the wine
made from it. When the wine was ready and
a cup of it poured out for the king ho sent
for the slave who had prophesied his death
and asked him what he thought of his
prophecy now. The slave replied: "There's
many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," and
just as ho had spoken tho words Ancams re-
ceived warning that a wild boar had broken
into his vineyard and was ruining it. Putting
down the wine untastod, ho rushed out to at
tack the boar and was killed.
About Handkerchiefs.
Harper's Young People.
At the present day the Japanese never use a
handkerchief twice. These are made of pa-
per, and every Jap who uses handkerchiefs at
all carries a large assortment of them. Until
a comparatively recent period handkerchiefs
were never used in publio in Europe, and the
name was avoided in polite conversation. It
is related that at the beginning of the present
century Mile. Duchesnoif, a famous actross,
dared to appear with a handkerchief in har
hand. Having to speak of it in the course of
the play, she could only summon courago to
refer to it as "light tissue." A translation of
one of Shakespeare's plays by Alfred deVigny
was being acted, and the subjeot, mentioned
for the first time upon the stage, provoked a
storm of indignRnt hisBes from all parts of
the house. Handkerchiefs were finally pop-
ularized in Franoe by the Empress Josephine,
who had imperfect teeth and used a little
Bquare of laco and muslin to conceal them aB
much as possible. Her example was followed
by ladies of tho French court, and conse-
quently by the rest nf Europe.

CRIMINAL APPEALS COURT.
LIST OF DECISIONS HANDED DOWN
AT TYLER,
J.
M. Hurt, P, J, j W. L. Davidson and E. J,
Simkins, Judges; R. L, Henry, Ass't At-
torney General; E. P. Smith, Olerk,
Hii.l Green and Ma in- Ann Huooins vs.
State—Appeal from Grimes: Appellants
were jointly convicted of murder in
tho second degree for tho . murder of
Taylor Huggins. Tho prosecution re-
lied upon the statement of tho deceased
that "Bill Green shot mo," without any at-
tendant circumstances being given, while tho
evidence shows that decoasedhad inadothroats
against Mary Ann's lifo, which had boen com-
municated to her; had gone to tho housa
where she and Green were, pushod open the
door, nnd when ejected picked up a large
groen stick and returned to tho door with the
threat to kill her. Sho called on Green to
shoot him and upon his rofusal seized tlie gun
and fired tho fatal Bhot. It is shown that de-
ceased went to tho house for the purpose of
killing Mary Huggins, and viewed iu the light
of all tho tostiniony in the case it is hold that
the evidence is insufficient to support a verdict
of murdor. Judgment reversed and remand-
ed. Hurt, P. J.
Tayi,or Smith vs. State—Appeal from
Falls: Upon a trial in the justico court for
betting at a gnme of craps appollant swore
that ho had not at the time and place named
bet at the game. This is assigned aB perjury.
Appellant contends that the jury in the justice
court wus not properly sworn, hence his state-
ment if shown to be false would not bo
perjury. The correct rule seems to be that
if tho court has jurisdiction of tho subject
mattor of tho suit, and the oath is roquired by
law, irregularities in the proceedings will not
prevent perjury. Tho objection that tho file
mark on the papers from tho justice court did
not give the number of tho precinct is, wo
think, hypercritical. We find no error in tho
judgment, and it is oonfirmed. Hurt, P. J.
Will Ei.am vs. State—Appeal from Me-
dina: Appellant was convicted for an as-
sault to rapoupon a girl under 12 years of
age. The only witness to the transaction was
tho alleged injured female, who tostified on
the examining trial that defendant made an
indecent proposal to hor, but did not come
within ten feet of her. When she swore dif-
ferently on the final trial sho explained it by
Baying her parents had instructed her to do
so, and what she first testified was truo. Thoy
were both present but did not attempt to ex-
Elaia their conduct. Tho testimony, therefore,
ears upon its face a reasonable doubt as to
defendant's guilt, nnd the judgment is re-
versed and remanded. Simkins, J.
Beriiy Sampson vs. State—Appeal from
Harris: The only quostiou in this case was tlio
valuo of the stoleu property. Oofendaut
swore its value to be $28. The witness for the
defense proved it to be $12. The state's esti-
mates were too extravagant. The jury found
wrong. The judgment is reversed. Simkins, J,
Syi.vistkh Rodoers vs. State—Appeal
from Harris: Amotion for a new trial was
sought for alleged newly discovorod evidence.
It is not probable that the testimony adduced
was probably true or the witnesses even pres-
ent. One of the requisites is that it must
Bhow that on another trial Buch evidence
would probably produce a different result and
it must not simply be cumulative, corrobora
tive, or to impeach a witness. (30 App. 633.)
The court charged that in order to convict
they must believe beyond a reasonable doubt
that the shot wrb fired for the specific intent
to kill. This was sufficient. The chargo was
not oxcoptod to. Judgment affirmed. Sim-
kins, J.
Louis Eveks vs. State.—Appeal from
Bexar: No error in the failure to charge on
manslaughter; nor was thero error in refusing
to allow deceased's reputation to be put in
issue as a dangerous man, as he had certainly
committod no act toward defendant. Thero
was error in permitting the cry of a cab driver
of "Thero ho goes," referring to defendant.
He should have been placed on the stand him-
self to prove the faot.
A charge on tho statute of drunkenness to
tho effect that drunkenness must go to tho
extent of produoing temporary insanity and,
therefore, the jury must discover the mental
status of the defendant at tho time of the
homicide is manifestly insufficient, it being
tho entire chargo upon a statute about which
exists bo much uncertainty and diversity of
opinion.
Tho exception that tho court erred in fail-
ing to define temporary insanity, and that tho
jury Bhould consider it in mitigation of the
penalty after they had determined the degree
of murder, is well taken. The statute on
drunkenness has been twice passed upon in
the Clore case and in in this one on tho habeas
corpus trial. The difficulty Beems to bo not
bo much in the terms of the statute as In the
reluctance of the trial courts to hold that ono
grossly intoxicated is any more liable for
punishment for crime than any one insane
from any other cause. Tho history of the
statute iB well known. Two purposes were
clearly Intended; First, to eliminate mere in-
toxioation as any defense in any criminal
prosecution, regardlosB of its constituent ele-
ments of crime. Seoond, td prevent tempor-
ary insanity from being a defense to any
crime, but permitting it to be introduced in
murdor cases to determine the degree, nnd
in all criminal prosecutions to miti-
gate the penalty. The object of tho statute
was to prevent parties voluntarily intoxicated
from pleading their own wronp. The under-
lying principle of the Btatute is to prevent a
man voluntarily putting himself in such a
condition as to have no control over his
will and action,from denying he must bo held
to intend the consequences resulting there-
from. At common law intoxication was no
defense to any criminal act, even though
done in a state of unconsciousness of any
wrong. The proposition that drunkeuness
ought to be admitted in evidence, not to jus-
tify but to throw light upon the mental status
of the offender and show that no crime was
committed, is an innovation on common law.
It at first was applied to murder oasos and
assaults to murder, but is now applied by
some courts to every species of crime that has
an intent. It is admitted, however, to be a
dangerous doctrino and to be received with
caution. (Whart. Crim. Law, 61.) It is a
subject upon which courts have widely dif-
fered and the ssmo courts repeatedly changed
their views, but the matter iB now settled by
tho Texas statute. An illustration of this
change of opinion is shown by the Tennessee
decisions which are referred to in the Lyle
caBe. Originally laid down in conformity
with the common law, it holds to-day that any
degree of drunkenness is admissible to shed
light on the mental status of the offender, but
it seeins to admit it only In cases of murder
and assaults with intent to murder. It is dif
ficult to understand how drunkenness is ad-
missible to ahed light on the mental status and
yot not mitigate the offense. It is no answer
to say that its purpose it to show that no
crime has been committed. If that be so, it
would seam immaterial whether defendant
was drunk or sober.
If all the facts of a oaae except drunkenness
show a crime was committed, yet the element
of drunkenness changes its nature and makes
it nothing it muBt certainly excuse crime, and
unquestionably overturns the common law
QSPRICE'S
doctrine. Punishment for crime rests upon
the theory that tho criminal has possession of
hl» will and poW«r to control it. The drunk-
ard does not loso tho power to control his will
unless unconscious, but he doos lose tiio dosiro
to do so. Such is the case with all criminals,
hence the necossity for the strong arm of the
law to supply the missing incentive for good
behavior. There is a difference between a
crime committod by a drunken man and a
solior man, but human laws arc based on con-
sideration of human policy nnd personal se-
curity. But tho statute conceding something
to modern thought permits intoxication, when
excessive ami rendering the porson unconscious
that tho act ho is doing is wrong, to plead
Ills condition. It is to bo obscrvod that this
plea is not permissible in any other character
of crime to chnnge its nature for want of con-
stituent elemonts. Tho court errod in not
charging the jury that temporary insanity was
admissible to mitigate the punishment. Upon
the question of temporary insanity tho court
holds as in tho Kelly caso decided at this torm,
that while it is tho same in condition of
mental status with any other insanity,
yet it diffors in its otigin and rosults from
settled insanity or any othor kind. The court
orred in not defining it to the jury, but lotting
them form their own ideas of what must con-
stitute insanity. For tho errors indicated tho
judgment is reversed and remanded. Sim-

WASTE AND WANT.
A waste of Hush and a want of digestion, Those
go together, People who can not assimilate the
food they swallow must of necessity loso bodily
substance. To remody this, render digestion
easy and thorough with Hostetters's Stomach
Bitters, a tonic famed the world over for its
strength and fleih yielding qualities. Appetite
nnd sloop are both impaired by imiigostion.which
begets nervous symptoms, heartburn, flatulence,
irregularity of the bowels and palpitation of the
heart—tho latter often being orroneously attrib-
uted to disonso of that organ. All those manifes-
tations disappear when tho Bitters is ro-iorted to.
Malaria, rheumatism, liver and kidney trouble

tive, which is not only effectual, but permanent,
