BOWIE AND HIS KNIFE
HE CALLED IT THE WEAPON THAT
NEVER MISSED FIRE.
It WWI Made of an Old Steel File and
Was Sharpened to a Razor Edge.
' With It U Killed Sixteen Men.;-Tlso
_Duel With Norris Wright:
James Bowie, famous by reason of the'
world renowned knife called by his name,
was born in Berke county, Gee in 1.790..
In 1802 his Milky emigrated to Loeisi-
ana. That country was then still under
French dominat on. There had been
largo tracts of land grantad , by the
_French crown in the territory named for
Louis XIV, and Pee of these,.In-the pare
ish of Catahoula,was acquired by the
elder Bowie. He was it' man of 'sub-
stance, owning nearly 100 slaves. He
soon had his estate oPened out and was
grewing superb crops of eaten and corn.
His son James he sent .first to a famous
private school at Natchez, Miss., and aft-
erward to the Jesnit college, the locat-
ed in New Orleans. • ,
James Bowie in, 1827 Was challenged to
a duel with !Norris Wright. Tlienpocket
pistols of that '-day .Were uncertain. It
was long before the percussion cap had -
been brought Into common use, and the
flintlock arm was the only firearm known.
It was liable to miss fire just when it
ought not to. BOinio determined to . rely
upon a knife he had caused to be made
for just !melt a contingency. He had
taken a 14 inch file, such as was then
used to sharpers,' crosseut saws and the
upright saws used for turning Out planks
from logs. -He had the file marks -care-
fully ground off the file and. the sin
piece of steel .skillfully teiducid_ .b the
grindstone 'until It Was about t thick-
ness and -weight -he desired Then 16
took it to -a Spaniard lignsNew Orleans
known as "Pedro, thezeirilled. cutler," a
man who had learned his art in Toledo,
where the finest sword blades in all Spain
were forged: He tempered .and finished
the knife, fitted it with a 'crosspiece and
ha ft. When it was done, James Bowie
hada weapon "fit to fight for a man's life
with," as he said to Governor Wells: It
was beautifully bateticed„ and the artist
had hollow ground it, like a razor; with
R double edge for three or four inchee
from the point.
The knife was fitted with' a wooden
scabbard, covered with leather, and was
sharp enough to shave the ,hair off the
lotek of one's hand, This was the brig-
inal bowie knife, though it was some-
what modified subsequently in shape.
Natehoz is!amh.where the fight was to
be, lone midway between the...Louisiana
nail Mississippi shores of the great Fa-
ther of \Vetere'. Therefore it was 'a fa-
vorito meeting place for gentlemen who
hod to adjust affairs that, might have a
fatal ending, ns the authorities of neither
state could interfere.
It was understood that each of the
principals should have but one friend,
and certainly not more than to, on the
grimed. But Mr. Wright had five or six
present. The fight began with pistols.
One of Bowie's missed fire, while both of
Wright's 'took effect upon his antagonist.
Thinking he had Bowie at his merey,
Norris Wright speang upon him: In a
moment Bowie had drawn his aeadly
knife, and, though two' or three of
'Wright's ertends were shooting at him,
and hitting him, too, Bowie made one
awful slash at Wright's neck. T -he keen
steel hit into the very neekbene. The
blood shot out over • Bowie, and Norris
Wright was dead before he touched the
ground.
Seriously wounded himself, It was for
some time a' very doubtful question
whether or not ,he would ever get well.
But youth, a temperate life and an ex-
cellent constitution finally brought him
around, and in a year from that time he
killed General Crain with the same knife
he had used in his first encounter. "The
knife doesn't miss • fire," he said to an en-
timatinfriend, ,Mr. Bynum of the parish
of leapides. "The pistol does."
James Bowie was engaged in the pur-
chase and contest of claims for great
tracts of land that had been grants -made
by the French crown. When Louisiana
was ceded to the United States and final-
ly became a state, there Was a good deal
of trouble on this account over some of -
the titles to land along the fled river and
Its tributaries. A man often had to flebt
for his -plantation, as frequently he would
not give it up to seniebody with an old
French or Spanish grant. It was in
these contests that James Bowie did the
most-ef his killing. He had 10 lives on
his bands from the use of that one
knife.' After much consideration he had
made a knife that has been the model
and pattern for all the real 'bowie knives
that ever had the sanction Of their ot.ig-
Natty.
In 1823 Colonel Bowie sold his Lou-
isiana property and went to Texas. The
Lone Star State was in the throes of a
bloody revolution. 'The gallant resistance
of the Texans so exasperated ,General
Santa Anna,. who Was chief in command
of tho Mexican -forces, that he swore he
weuld take no More- prisoners. When
Bowie arrived in .Texas, -he was at once
-made a colonel of riflemen in the array of.
Texas.
In January, 1830, Colonel Bowie was
ordered to !San Antonio de Bexar to as-
sist in holding that place against Santa
Anna's coming _forces. The siege ran
along until March, 'when San Antonio,
trusting in the pledged word elf honor of
Santa Anna, With a starved out garrison,
surrendered, A -general massacre took
place. Travis, Crockett and Bowie were
murdered in cold blood, a stain on Gen-
eral Santa Anna's memory that time can.

ly wounded three times and was In a

Ile was lying on his bed when he heard
the triumphant Mexicans coming in. It
was the first hint ho had had of the sur-
render. He' knew- his life was ended.-- He
could. however, move about a little.' The
instant the Mexican's came' into the room
they began 'shooting at him. He gresped
his knife and leaped -among them like an

A Difficult Wedding.
In an article in Ladies' Home Journal
on "$ome People I Have Married," Rev,
D. AL Steele saYst 'Iwo foreigners came
to me one evening, neither of whom could
speak ten words of English. Each was
Ignorant of the other's language, and
neither understood mine. She was a
Slav from Bohemia, and he a _German
from Bavaria. ! They had come across
two months befere, she with her parents,
and he alone. They had first become ac-
quainted traveling steerage and now were
to be married. •The witness asked me to
marry them. But how could I?
"At last an idea struck me, and I ask-
ed, 'Comprenez vans Francaise?' They
both assented eegerly, 'Wee, wee!' So I
sat down, wrote out the beSt, or, rather,
the least bad, translation that I could
and married them with that. It was a
curious mixture. She knew little *Ger-
man, and he still less Bohemian. The
onlything'cosmepolite appeared to be the
'language of the heart.' They talked be-
tween themselves some species of collo-
quial Latin, and I parried them. in
French.
"The only tbsing American about the
whole affair w4s the eagle on the single
silver dollar which they gave me for a
fee."
What Troubled Him.
He stood in trent of a department store
WindOW on Eigbth street gazing elite the
dim distance with a look of settled mel-
ancholy on his, brow. He looked dusty
and, forlorn and carried his hat in his
right-hand, as ithough inviting alms. A
kind, motherly !poking woman paused to
scan bites. Opeeing her purse, she glided
up to him and gently dropped a dime'into
the hat.
He started vielently. "Madam!" he ex-
claimed.
She colored. "It isn't very much, I
know," she said, "but some peoplp might
only have given you a penny." Then a
thought struck her. "Perhaps I made a
mistake," she said nervously. "I
'thought" --
"Madam, yoe did," he replied austere-
ly. "Permit me to assure yeti that I nm
not a beggar. I merely paused here try-
ing -to think if had forgotten any of the
things my wife told me to bring home

THE OTHER WAY.
I started on the Way of Life, -
And it was broad and fair,
And wieliedoess wee c allied on
In epered tempbe. there,
And over every eing di•or
Thai led to eien. n' a/id ,-in
Were eari ed the n anis, 'Tis free for. all
Who care to enter in."
And Grace and Virtue darkly hid
In foul, forbidding lanes,
Where doors were locked and curtains drawn
Across the gilded panes,
And they that emight to enter there
Were called upon to pay,
And preachers at the corners cried
To men to keep away.
And as I journeyed there I saw
That where the doors were wide
Few sought the wicked pleasures that
Were free to them inside,
But everywhere were skulking men
•Who went to kneel before
Sweet Grace and 'Virtue where they est
Behind the guarded door.-

WHAT A "PIKER" IS.
Full Directions For the Discovery of
This Sort of Irndividnal.
I read a table some time ago. It was
about a "piker." But it seems to me that
the .writer did not understand the nature
of the prehistoric but recently classified
piker. He says a piker is a man who
Us all his goods in his show window.
The statement is faulty in three respects.
A piker is on no occasion a man, he has
no goods and no window.
A. piker Is a fellow who plays a two
call five sort of a game and frequently
edges a nickel to change his luck. He is
the fellow who says, "Put up for me,"
and along in the stretch of the same
breath reminds you that you are his debt-
or in the sum of twenty odd cents.
(Adam -was the first piker. He would
not steal the apple, but he very willingly
helped poor Eve to eat it, and it's a safe
bet he split the 'fruit.)
He will regale you for hours with opin-
ions formed upon Denver on a one day
stop over ticket. He gets a severe head-
ache when he takes a lady to a "Euro-
pean plan" restaurant: It is he from
whom you first learn that "standing
room only" tickets to the opera company
are all gone. He thoroughly. enjoys a
week stand minstrel show with "ladies'
night," but honestly lacks conception of
classical music of higb histrionic art. He
can't see why he shouldn't be a two time
winner when he entered the 2:20 class
with a straw collar and chain tugs.
A piker is a fellow who's been up
against it -ma; who's seen things -with
pa; who's been around some -around
home.
The fellow who Is always waiting for
something to turn up is a piker. He's
afraid to turn over a rock looking for an
opportunity for fear that he might find
something injurious, never once consider-
ing the effectiveness of a rock under
such circumstances, nor does he figure
that he would at least be one rock ahead.
There are pikers In every line of busi-
ness and every place of pleasure. The
fellows who beat the water with a fishing
pole and want to go home because fish
won't bite; who get the hack fever on
a rainy dance night; who tell you they'll
see you through; who "stag" it; who
drop in while you are doing the good
to a number of friends at a soda fountain
and remind you of something you wanted
to forget; who tell you that they don't
need the money just now; who wonder
how Jones lives and where Higgins gets
his money; who are conservative or com-
mon, according to the financial thermom-
eter; who lose ri game of billiards and
tell you they did so purposely to lighten
your expense; who will borrow, but won't
lend in a game; who won't advertise, be-
cause every one knows they are in busi-
ness; who won't support the ball team
nor the churches -they are all pikers.
The first step which identifies this Indi-
vidual is "telling the teacher;" next he
rime's your confidences; then he knocks
on you. A knocker is a mossback, and
mossbacks are pikers.
Much. Abbreviated.
.A. customer from one of the suburbs
dropped into a city paintshop, took a slip
of paper from his pocket, looked at it,
knitted his brows, shook his head, put on
his glasses,'Inspected the paper again and
gave it up as a bad job!.
"I made a hasty memorandum," he said
to the proprietor of the shop, "of some-
thing I was to call here and buy, but I
trusted too 'much to my memory. I seem
to have jotted down nothing but the in-
itials, and I've forgotten what they
mean."
"Let me see the memorandum," said
the proprietor. "It may be that I can
help you."
"It's nothing but three letters," replied
the customer, handing it over. "Only 'O.
P. A.' "
"So I see. 'O. P. A.' Why, that's
sepia'a kind of brown paint. Wasn't
that it?"
"What a fool I am! Of course it was."
He got the sepia, threw a big red apple
on the counter in lieu of "hush money"
and went away with a sheepish look on
his face.
Throwing the Shoe.
The peasants of southern France hay
the credit of originating the familiar cus-
tom of throwing an old shoe after the
newly wedded pair. It was, moreover,
the rejected suitor who first made it pop-
ular. The peasant bride is conducted by
her friends to her new home, while the
young husband is made to halt at a cou-
ple of hundred yards from the house. If
there is a rejected suitor, he then arms
himself with an old wooden shoe and
flings it, with his best aim, at the bride-
groom as he makes a dash for the house.
When the shoe is thrown, it is understood
that the last feeling of ill will has been
flung away with it.
Misgivings.
, "That was a very lucid document you
brepared," said the friend,
"Yes," answered the statesman duble
mole-. "I made it so lucid that I am
afraid the public will fail to regard it as
able and prolound."-

ringing gayly) -How do you like my,
