I Scarcely another state in’the union
has as remarkable and interesting a
history as Texas. In one respect at
- t occupies a unique position in
the history of American states. Since
i its discovery six different governments
! U(m , nt (im - evcut times ciatiueU its nl
i leginuce. and as many different flags
j have waved over Independent it, those of Texas, franco, the
j Spain. Mexico. Confederate
United States and the
states.
The foundations of Texas statehood
were not laid as a British colony, nor
under the grant or control of the Brit¬
ish crown, as were those of the original
thirteen states, Its first settlement
dates back more than 200 years, and its
first American colonists went there
under terms and conditions Imposed
by a foreign state, to whose language,
laws and institutions tliey were total
strangers. There never was, there
never could he. any sympathy between
these first American colonists and the
Mexican government under the old
regime. Bepa rated by vast Wilder
Pesscs from the people of the United
1 Stines, and unaided save by ihc III

Heroin these colonists declared
their independence, established it with
the sword, ntid for nine years main
tnitu d n stable republic.
Texas was neither purchased nor
conquered for tin* union. Annexation
lo the United States was accomplished
through a treaty made b,v Texas irpre
sentntives - and ratified hy the free
suffrage of the citizens, No other
state in tin. Union has had stu b varied
experience or sailed through such
stormy seas into the haven of peace
and prosperity.—St. Louis titobe-Demo¬

While n student nt Harvard uni ver
sity Phillips Brooks was walking in
the yard one day with a profes.-or. who
asktnl Idm wliat lie intended making
of himself.
‘‘I am thinking of the ministry,” an¬
swered the youth.
"Then Imnish such thoughts.” said
the professor earnestly. "Your man¬
ner of speech would forever liar you
from (wing successful in that calling."
Many years later, when Phillips
Brooks was one of the world's great
pulpit orators, the most expert stenog
raplier in England took down one of
Ills sermons and said:
‘‘Any stenographer who thinks lie
has conquered first talkers should try

if I have any. I have them today. My
