It had lingered too long and the great blizzard which came skiiriying from the far north in the morning handled it without mercy as an intruder on its domain."

A great many years ago when our country was first settled along our eastern coast by people from England and Holland and France, people from Spain were settling Mexico. Cities and roads were built and a great many Spaniards came to the new world in the hope of getting fame and riches.

With them came monks, not to get rich, but to teach the story of the cross to the Indians. They built churches all over Mexico and so earnestly did they work that since that time all the people have been members of the Catholic church. Many of these monks came from Mexico into what is now Texas and there are many ruins of churches which they built nearly two hundred years ago. One of the first was built by several monks on the Rio Grande river, and from some cotton wood trees near it was called the Alamo. After many years the monks left it and built another church on the San Antonio river in Texas, which they also left in course of time to build another on at Bexar, which is now San Antonio.

Then the monks chose another site for their church on the other side of the river, and spent a great deal of time on the building, still using' their first name, the Alamo. It was' built of limestone and building cement. The walls were made four feet thick and the arched roof was also of mortar and stone, no wood being used in the building except for the doors and windows. There was one big room in the form of a cross for the church room and small rooms or cells for: the monks. The Alamo was thus used for nearly fifty years when it was abandoned because the roof cracked, and a few years afterward the roof did fall in.

The Alamo stood unused for forty years before it became the soene of a battle and terrible murder of more thau one hundred people. After the United States bad become free from England and had begun to grow very fast, many people from the states were encouraged to settle in Texas by the Mexican government, which had become free from Spain. When there came to be about 20,000 northern people in Texas the Mexicans became jealous of them and mistreated them. Being unable to get justice from the Mexican officers the Americans declared themselves independent and set up a government of their own. General Santa Ana came from Mexico with an army and at San Antonio he called upon the Texans to surrender, liut they would not and tboso who had not retreated east took refuge in the old Alamo.

There were above one hundred and eighty in all. An irrigating ditch gave them water, but their provisions soon ran low. The Mexicans kept up a constant fire from their cannons which was returned from the Alamo. On May 6, 183G, before daylight, the Mexicans attacked the Alamo from different sides. They had ladders to go over tho walls, but the Texans fought them off.

After a great deal of hard lighting the Mexicans entered through a hole made in the wall by cannon balls and the brave defenders were over-powered by numbers. Col. Travis, the commander, was shot early in the fight. Davy Crockett fell where the ground was covered with slain Mexican soldiers. Bowie lay in a monk's cell dying, but from his cot fought with a revolver.

As may be easily supposed the variety of costumes was large, as the gentlemen wore suits made of calico. While the lady attendants were not dressed as odd as tho gentlemen they were robed in all styles of calico made up in the latest fashions.

It was a grand social success in every particular. The music was above the average.
