FINDS DREAM CAME TRUE Detroit, Mich., Feb. 14. "For the Lord's take, where are my upper teeth," were the words uttered by a member of the Delray police force, who had just awakened from a refreshing snooze on the seat of the patrol wagon. ""Blamed funny, too, as I dreamed that I lost 'em and gosh ding it if the dream ain't true!" "Did you bring 'em with youV" said Doorman Weber in a sympathizing tone. "Gol ding it, of course. Now, where are those dratted teeth V" Here the searcher turned every pocket inside out to be sure he had not overlooked anything. "By grit, I have not been out of the station since I had use for them." "Maybe somebody took them out of your mouth," remarked Lieutenant Baxter. "Oh, quit your kidding." "Perhaps you swallowed them," said Sergeant Matteson. "You had better get a doctor to put an X-ray on you." "Wll, if this is a joke, it is a little too far fetched," said the toothless one. "A man don't like to have his store , teeth handed around like souvenirs. If any of you fellows have them you might as well take the lower set, as the upper ain't a bit of good without the lower. Everybody affirmed that he had not seen the missing chewers, and a careful search of the patrol wagon was made without result. The hay for the horse was tumbled over to see if by any mishap the teeth had found lodgment there. The loser was getting more angry every minute, as it was near meal time and the missing teeth would be greatly needed in a few minutes. Just as he was about to put on his overshoes a rattling sound led to the finding of the missing teeth. The man had gone to sleep on his side and had slept with his mouth open. In some way the teeth became loose and dropped out of his mouth into the overshoe. There has been considerable "kidding" in the station since, and the story only leaked out by accident. When "Mammy" Was Stylish. The daughter of a former famous southern general who married a wealthy New Englander and came north to live has in her home the old negro mammy who "nursed" her in her young days. Mammy is large and slow moving, as one pictures all good mammies ought to be. Her proportions are ample and comfortable, as the two little children now in this home well know. Recently the soutnern mother was making preparations to go with the two little children and mammy to visit some of the "in-laws." She decided to dress mammy up, so she bought her a "straight front" corset, laced up shoes, a fine black dress, frilly apron and cap. Mammy's misery was so complete that bending over and stooping were impossible. "Miss Leila." she moaned, "strop me up so tight and make me so stylish I couldn't do a thing. Miss Leila she had to wash and dress dem chilluns all de time we was dar. and all 1 done was jes' walk around and look proud." Catarrh Quickly Cured by a Pleasant GermKilling Antiseptic.

GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Atbert Payson Terhune

SAM HOUSTON AND ELIZA ALLEN This is a love story with a ct range ending. Many of its facts are shrouded in mystery and will never be known A hundred guesses have been roac3 lu iiyisuauuu ui us uiuucu iucidenta. But the full truth remains forever in the graves of the man and woman who enacted the unusual little drama. Sam Houston, pioneer and son of a pioneer, had been intended for a storekeeper. He had a soul for adventure and loathed mercantile life. So as a boy he ran away to the Indians, was adopted by them, and learned from the tribesmen all the wondrous art of the wilderness. When the war of 1812 broke out Houston was not yet 20. Yet he fought with a reckless courage that won him many wounds, -not a little glory, and the lifelong affection of Andrew Jackson, under whom he served. The war over, he studied law and rose rapidly in political rank, from district attorney to congressman, p.nd, within nine years, to the governorship of Tennessee. A splendid future seemed to stretch before him. He was the idol of the southwest. He . was the friend of President Jackson who never forgot a friend. He was A Man of young, handsome, Destmy. brilliant. The presidency itself seemed almost within his reach. The world was at his feet ready to do his bidding. Not a public character in America had brighter prospects than Sam Houston. He was spoken of as a Man of Destiny. Then came the love affair that changed his whole life. While he was governor of Tennessee Houston met Miss Eliza Allen, the beautiful daughter of a rich Nashville man. Miss Allen was local social queen, and was the acknowledged belle of that part of Tennessee. Houston simple, direct, honest,, was quite captivated by the girl's dazzling charm and became her devoted adorer. She had many suitors more polished and better versed in the ways of the world than was the sturdy young statesmansoldier who governed the state. Yet, to the surprise of more than one Of her friends, she listened to Houston's ardent wooing and soon became engaged to him. Whether Miss Allen really loved Houston, or merely saw how splendid a future seemed to lie before him, is not known. At any rate she married him, amid such in. posing ceremonies as the little frontier city could muster. With so lovely and ambitious a wife, people predicted that Houston's star would rise to unequaled height. Gayety ruled supreme in the governor's house and the young executive was apparently the happiest man in Tennessee. Then something happened. No one knows what. But shortly after the wedding the whole state was scandalized to learn that bride and groom had separated. Not as the result of a petty lover's quarrel that could be ! readily patched up but that they had parted forever. Neither Houston nor his wife would tell what had caused the sudden break in their supposedly happy relationship. But while the . bride returned to her father's house, Houston resigned his governorship, gave up his hard won honors and golden prospects, and left Tennessee. His friends argued, pleaded and stormed in vain. He was set on throwing away his future and would not tell even, his most intimate friends why he did so. The secret of Houston's separation from his wife remained a mystery, and remains so to this day. That the cause was terribly serious may be judged by the fact that he not only abandoned his Becomes an Indian. career, but turned his back on civilization as well. Journeying to Arkansas, he joined the Cherokee Indians, donning paint and blanket, living among the savages for years as a member of their tribe and refusing to go back to his own people or to regard himself as anything but an Indian. Yet to Houston's parting from his wife the United States owes the annexation of Texas. For in time Houston left the Indians and plunged into the warfare the American settlers were waging to wrest Texas from Mexico. He freed Texas and made a republic, being chosen as its first president. Then he arranged annexa- i tion of the new republic to the United i States, and was elected governor of j the state of Texas. Meantime he had married again, and his second wedded j life is said to have been very happy. He fough bitterly against the secession of his state when the civil war began, and, for his fierce loyalty to the union was deposed from the governorship. When the secession of Texas was announced, and his own son entered the confederate army, Houston said to his wife: "My heart is broken!" Two years later he died; his last gasping word being the name of the beloved state he had built up and so wisely governed, and which had at the last deposed him. Then He Went. "I think I must be going," remarked the young man for the tenth time. "You do not appear to me to be going!" declared the young lady, after inspecting him carefully. "You seem to be perfectly stationary." EXCHANGE. Get your home made pies, cakes, ? bread, etc.. at the East End Exchange. t Fresh every day.

DRINKS A TOAST TO HIS COMRADES

Last Survivor of a Famous Regiment Holds an Annual ''Reunion." QD VETERAN CALLS ROLL AND BEFORE HIS MISTY EYES SPRANG THE PHANTOMS OF HAPPY, RECKLESS YOUTHS OF THE GALLANT DAYS. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 11. Alone wit a the memory of, his former com rades, who had passed to another life j in response to the final call of "taps," J Sergeant Harry I,. l?riggs, sole sur- j vivor cf the famous Philadelphia! Greys, recently drank his solitary; toast to the memory of his former J comrades with whom he once bore j arms in response to the call for the! defense cf the nation. j The occasion was the annual "re-1 union" of the Philadelphia Greys, held at Thirteenth and Sansom streets, where, acting as adjutant and secretary, Sergeant Briggs was the only one in attendance. After calling the roll of his comrades long since dead he entered the minutes of the meeting in the book and then silently and mournfully drank his toast to the memory of those "lor.y since and far away." Names Next Meeting. After an hour or more of retrospection he announced that the next meeting of the corps would be held on January 22, 1911 and that if he were not living to attend it the books would ' be turned over to his son. Samuel . Briggs, of No. 1M59 North Thirty-first street, who would in turn see that the records went to the Historical society of Pennsylvania. Last year was the first time that Sergeant Briggs was obliged to go to the meeting alone. In the fall of 190S 'two of the three survivors died. They were Major Harry W. Hewes and James Palmer. Sergeant Briggs is now the only one left, and he said he intended to continue the meetings of i the society until he too is compelled to answer to the final roll call. The Philadelphia Greys were organized in !So2 by Major General George Cedwallader. At the time of the civil war they were divided into two companies, B and G of the Seventeenth trpaiment Pennsylvania volunteers. Colonel Francis E. Patterson was in command.

If Thackeray, with a brain weighing fifty-eight and one-half ounces, had the biggest head among Victorian writers who had the best features? The choice would seera to lie between Tennyson and Henry Taylor. "That man roust be a poet." remarked oue of his Cambridge contemporaries when he nrst saw Tennyson come iuto the hall at Trinity, and another friend describes him in his undergraduate days as six feet high, broad chested, strong limbed, his face Shakespearean, with deep eyelids: his forehead ample, crowned with dark wavy hair; bis head finely poised, bis band the admiration of sculptors. But time dealt none too gently with Tennyson, whereas Henry Taylor, always a distinguished looking man. seems to have grown singularly majestic with year.
