come up at once and give the
amount and injure the securing
of the road.—Wise County (De

"We live in a land of high moun-
tains and high taxes; low valleys
and low wages; big crooked rivers
and big crooked statesmen; big
lakes; big strikes; big drinks; big
Eumpkins, big men with pump-
in neads, silver streams that
gambol in the mountains and pi-
oub politicians that gamble in the
night; fast young men and faster
girls; sharp financiers and sharp-
toed shoes; fertile plains that lie
like a sheet of water and thous-
ands of newspapers that lie like
thunder."

Wants a Pale-faced Husband
Seeing it publiHhed in the pa-
pers that lwuanah's beautiful and
accomplished daughter wants to
marry a white man, and that the
man who can please her and her
father can get her and $10,000,
recalls to the mind of this writer
the circumstance of the capture
of this young lady's grandmother,
Cynthiann Parker, from the Co-
manches by ("apt. Sul Ross, in
tho fall of '59, on the Bosque, in
Western Texas. Cynthiann had
been taken prisoner at Parker's
Fort, in what is now Johnson
county, I believe, by the Coman-
ches when she was uine years old,
so the writer was told by her
grandfather, Isaac Parker.
The writer saw Cynthiann a
few days after her recapture at
Austin, and shook bands with
her. She is a woman of stout
build, of medium height, with a
broad, rough hand and a grip
like the hand of a blacksmith.
She was as wild as any savage—
afraid of people of her race and
seemed to have forgotton every-
thing of early life, excepting bet
name, and pretended she could
not talk with her mother tongue.
Years afterwards I met and con-
versed with her son Quanah and
be told me she could talk our
language but wouldn't. Quanah
was a little boy captured at the
time his mother was recaptured
by Ross. Attacked, routed and
his men were pursuing and firing
on them. Cynthiann was a war-
rior armed, and in the fight.
When pressed by the whites she
threw off her robe, exposing her
white skin, which saved her life.
The Comanche chief was her hus-
band, who after beinj? mortally
wounded, backed himself up
againMt a tree and fought with his
tomahawk—scorning to surren-
der—until shot to death.
The government took Quanah
in charge, raised and educated
him, then made him cnief of his
tribe, and he is to thitt day. It is
noteworthy too, that he has suc-
ceeded admirably in their civili-
zation—has taught them industry
and they now have good homes
and like white people in their
country and are at peace. In
fact X nave no knowledge of any
•erioua trouble with this tribe
MUM Quanah has been their
• i
Mil!
chief. The government lia« jjivon
Quanah such opportunities as
have made him rich. His daugh-
ter is said to be highly educated
and very beautiful, is a good bus-
inees woman, has been teller in a
bank. Her grandmother, Cyn-
thiann, has been dead a number
of years. Whenever became re-
conciled to live with her people,
pined away and died a few years
after her capture.—T. J. Crooks
in Denison Gazetteer.
