What Booneuborough la to Ken­
tucky, the Alamo Is to Texas, and
both are more than the most famous
forts In their respective states. They
are monuments to the memory of two
great
American
frontier
heroes—
Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett—
they are national shrines.
The Mission of San Antonio de Va­
lero, commonly called the Mission del
Alamo (Aluino being the Spanish
word for cottonwood tree) was found­
ed by the Franciscans In 1703 and a f­
ter various removals was established
in Its present location in 1722. Soon
after the outbreak of the Texan W ar
of Independence in 1833 the Alamo
was seised by the Texans.
Its commander early the next year
was Lieut. Col. William Barrett Tra­
vis, a young Carolina lawyer. Asso­
ciated with him was Col. .lames
Bowie of Georgia and of Bowie knife
fame. They had only about 140 men
but In February there came a wel­
come reinforcement In the person of
Davy Crockett, accompanied by some
of hi b neighbors from Tennessee.
On February 28, 1830, Santa Ana,
the dictator of Mexico, appeared be­
fore the fort and demanded its sur­
render. Travis answered with a shot
from his cannon and u defiant hoist­
ing of his flag. The Mexican leader
had more than 4,000 men but he did
not care to risk an assault so erected
batteries and opened fire.
For eleven days the siege was con­
tinued with heavy losses for the
Mexicans but without a rlngle casu­
alty among the defenders.
In the
meantime* Travis’ appeals for help
brought to the Alamo Col. James But­
ler Bonham, who slipped through the
lines of the besiegers, and a detach­
ment of 82 men, led by ('apt. J. WT.
Smith, which cut its way through.
Finally on March 0 Santa Ana ord­
e r «! a grand assault by u picked force
of 2.500 men. Two attacks were beat­
en back by the desperate Texans but
the garrison, weakened by the long
vigil and lack of food, could not hurl
back the third attempt. The Mexicans
swarmed over the walls and for the
next few minutes there followed one
of the most desperate hand-to-hand
encounters ever fought on the Ameri­
can continent.
When it ended only
five of the 180 defenders were left
alive and they were wounded, help­
less prisoners. By command of Santa
Ana they were killed at once.
But the sacrifice of Davy Crockett
and his fellow heroes was not In vain,
for the battle cry which swept the
field at the decisive battle of Snn
Jacinto, was “Remember the Alamo I’*
On a monument In the state capitol at
Austin commemorating their deeds Is
this line: “Thermopylae had Its mes­
senger of defeat.
The Alamo had
none.”

So sang the veterans of Gen. W. S.
Harney’s Sioux expedition who spent
the winter of 1855-30 there, and this
“bloody ranehe” which they were
execrating, was Fort Pierre, South
Dakota’s most famous fort. An array
legend nsserts that It was founded by
Peter the Hermit, survivor of the First
crusade, who selected this place near
the. Bad Lands beiuuse of Its Inde­
scribable dreariness and desolation.
In 1835 the United States bought
Fort Pierre for a military post, hut
abandoned It the next year and moved
all Its property to Fort Randall, about
130 miles down the Missouri.
Rut
even after the old post was abandoned.
Its name remained as a landmark for
everybody In that region who still
spoke of it aa though It still existed.
Sometimes a story takes on added
ralue in the re-telling of it even
though the man who repeats it gets
it twisted. This doesn't happen often,
still It does happen. I recall an in­
stance :
One night at dinner In honor of a
distinguished visiting Englishman I
was reminded of a yarn which I had
from Sam Blythe und when I was
called upon by the chairman to speak
a few words I told It. and it went
very well. It had to do with a pros­
pector In Oklahoma, who, on a Sat­
urday night, bought a quart of moon-
I shine whisky and took it to his lonely
cabin, anticipating a pleasant Sunday.
But as he crossed the threshold he
I stumbled und fell, dropping his pre-
I clous burden and smashing the bottle,
so that Its aromatic contents were
wasted upon the floor. Depressed by
his misfortune, the unfortunate man
went t bed. As he lay there bemoan­
ing his loss, a mangy, furtive, half-
grown rut with one ear and part of
a tail, emerged timorously from a hole
in the baseboard, sat up, sniffed the
laden air and then, darting swiftly to
where the liquor made a puddle in a
depression of the planking, ran out
its tiny pink tongue, took one quick
sip of the stuff and fled In sudden
panic to Its retreat.
But it didn't
stay; shortly it again appeared, and
now a student of rats would have dis­
cerned that a transition had taken
place in the spirits of this particular
rat.
Suddenly it had grown cocky,
debonair, almost reckless. It traveled
deliberately back to the liquor and
Imbibed again. Seemingly satisfied It
started for home but, changing its
I mind, it returned and partook a third
time of the refreshment. Immediate­
ly then Its fur stood on end, its eyes
burned red, like pigeon-blood rubles,
nnd straightening Itself upon Its hind
legs it waved its forepaws in a ges­
ture of defiance and shrilly cried out:
“Now, bring on that dad-blamed
cat!’’
No one seemed to enjoy my little
story more than did the guest of the
evening. After the party broke np he
made me tell It to him all over again.
I could tell from his expression that
he was trying to memorize It. In fact,
he confessed to me that he expected
to us It when he got home as a typ­
ical example of American humor.
Six months later I was In London.
I attended a dinner.
My English
friend was the toastmaster. Perhaps
my presence recalled to him the anec­
dote he had so liked.
At any rate,
he undertook to repent it.
His version of it rnn for perhaps
twenty minutes.
He entered into a
full exposition of the potency of the
illicit distillation known among the
Yankees, he said, as "shining moon.”
He went at length Into the subject
of the habits of rats, pointing out that
Inasmuch as rats customarily did not
indulge In iutoxicants a few drops of
any liquor currying high alcoholic
content would be likely, for the time
being at least, to alter the nature of
almost any rat. At length he reached
his point. It ran like this:
“And then, this little rodent, being
now completely transformed by Its
repeated potations, reared bolt up­
right and, voicing the pot-valor of ut­
ter intoxication both in tone and
manner, it cried out In a voice like
thunder:
“ ‘I say, 1 wonder if there isn’t a
rat about somewhere?”

was built as a trading poet about two

I came down from Massachusetts to

Its heartbeat, big and strong. I still
feel the thrill from the lights of Broad­

were easy— and monotonous— with the

Nick was the grizzle-headed facto­
tum of an assembly room In a certain
southern town. This story, which has
to do with him. possesses one merit If
It possesses none other— it has the
merit of being true.
According to local gossip Nick was
a sorely henpecked man. It was said
that when displeased with him Aunt
Eflle. ills mastodonlc wife, had a way
of tying his hands behind him and
then correcting him with a bed slat.
Sometimes she corrected him so thor­
oughly that he limped for a week af­
terward and sat down only on cush­
ioned chairs. If there were no cush­
ioned chairs handy he preferred to
stand.
Yet Nick bore the secret of his do­
mestic tragedy bravely. He never
swore out a warrant for Eflle; never
publicly complained of the roughness
af her disciplinary methods.
But, as the saying goes, the worm
will turn, although why It should turn,
teeing that a worm Is the same on
9 0 th sides, no one knows.
Nick didn't
exactly turn, but one time he did bars

Some ladles were decorating the as-

which was to follow the ceremony at
the bride’s home and Nick was helping
them.
“So fhey's fixin’ to have ’nothe«
marriage, is they?” said Nick, half to
himself as he unraveled an armful of
"W ell, seems lak

folks will keep on gettin’ married.”
He fetched a soft, pensive sigh under
his breath.
One of the ladies overheard him
She knew something of the life Nick

“Why. Pncle Nick," she said, "you
