His headquarters were at Mandalay, and his deserted palace is the centre of attraction to-day.
It was agreed that the balance should be paid after leaving school. In a class of ten I received a diploma from the normal department, June 17, 1886. My time during the summer was occupied in working with my father at the carpenter's trade. Texas was said to have good public-schools, and it was my plan to try the "Lone Star State."
