LETTER FROM HUSTON.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN;-A Penfeld writer
for the RgftsmdnS Journal criticises q recent
concert in this place in the following Ian
guage "The one blind lady sang well, but
the declarations of the child Myrtle were
very poor, and there are hundreds of school
girls in this county who could excel her. We
advise Fannie Hamlin to get her niece trained
by some competent person before she allows
her to appear in public
The writer seems to be yersed in elOcutiOn
and music, as well as the art of writing for
the press, but the query in my mind is this:
Did it occur to the mind of this learned
critic while dashing of this item that the
audience on the occasion referred to might
be as near an approach to the iniallible as his
own private opinion? In order, therefore, to
assist those whom it may concern in getting
at the truth of the matter | am happy TO
state that a goodly number of those present,
and among them one of the finest scholars in
Penfeld, were very much pleased with little
Myrtle's declamations, and that the concert
gave general satisfaction.
The advice rendered Miss Fannie Hamlin
merely proves that the author has never
learned that good old adage, Masked advice
be not to prompt too give OBSERVER.

THE OUTLOOK.

Never in the history of the cattle
business in Texas has the outlook
been so favorable as at the present
time. The abundant grass and wa
ter with which the country is now
supplied, the mild, open winter be-
fore us, Of which there is no reason
able doubt, and the high prices that
await our beef sellers in the spring,
the necessary consequence OF the
failure of the Northern crops, all
combine to make the coming year q
veritable bonanza to those who arc
so fortunate rs to be the owners oi
any large number of Texas beevcs
The indications are that the best
quality of Texas steers will sell next
June for 80 a head more than the
same class of cattle have ever sold
for at any time in the past, and We
are confident our raisers will realize
these prices. This is predicting
much-but we believe that when the
spring market opens it will verify
fully the predictions.-Texas Live
Stock Journal.

MAKE KNOWN YOUR BRANDS.


The following ON brand advertis-
tising is taken from the Texas Live
Stock Journal, the best stock paper
in the world, and we commend the
Journals argument to the conside-
ration of those of our readers who
are engaged in the stock business.
The TRANSPORTER, from its location
near the great Texas and Kansas
TRAIL and from its extensive circula-
ton among the stockmcn Of South
ern Kansas, the Territory and West
crn Texas, is invaluable to the stock
men of those sections ~ n means OF
making their brands known:
1t should be the desire and intent
of each individual cattle raiser in the
country to assist his neighbors and
fellow stockmcn in the recovery. Us
far as in his power lies, of their cs-
traycd and driftcd cattle. and to do
all in his power to forever put an end
to the illegal use or handling Of cat
tie by unauthorized parties. I'm no
way can this be done 50 cGcctually
and AT so little expense rs for each
stockman to place his marks and
brands in the hands of other stock
men, and thus ask them to guard
his interests and notify him Of any
unWarranted use of his cattle
If every stOckman would advcr-
tisc his brands, it would enable 9th
ers to know just to whom and where
stray stock belonged. They would
thus be enabled, should an oppor-
tunity present itself, to return stock
to its rightful owner: or, ifno such
opportunity was presented, they
could, at least, brand the increase
and prevent any one SD disposed
from illegally using such stock and
should the cattle be thus used, the
owner could he informed Of the fact,
and thus be put in the way Of recov-
ering his property and Furnishing
the offender.
The prime benefit to stockmcn
from advertising their brands is that
the publicity thus given them dctcrs
evil disposed parties from using the
stock such persons know it to be
unsafe, inasmuch as every stockman
is acquainted with the owners name,
postotlicc address, ranch location,
etc. Those who may be inclined to
this illegitimate use of stock (and
be il said to the credit Of the busi-
ness, such men are few in numbers
and becoming scarccr every year,
prefer to deal in brands more OBJ
scure. They know that it would be
next to an impossibility to get out
Of the country with stock so we'll
known as those whose brands APP

Our Texas exchanges speak in
glowing terms of the prospects of an
early spring drive. The ranges are
in fine condition, and the prospect
of an open winter, make the out
look very satisfactory. The short

vor of Texas stock men.

mense shipment about one million
of dollars. The shipments this fall
arc the largest ever made from this
point. Times.

Is HOreshOeinp Useless

A recent issue of Frazer's Magazine con-
tains an article by Sir George W. Cox, in
which he estimates that the English custom
of horseshoeing costs the nation annually as
much as $45, 900, 900, which might be saved
if the horses were allowed to go IN
shod. He quotes authorities from Keno
phon, who marched his horses unshod
from Cunaxa to Armenia Highlands to
the walls of Trebizond, down to the free
lanciers - of the present day, and contends
that it is safer, cheaper and better to let
the horse go unshod over the hardest roads,
and especially in the slippery streets in Lon
don. He estimates that over twelve million
dollars would be saved in the farriers' bill
alone; and he calculates further that the
working life of a horse would be
rebled by the change, so that a
horse now worn out at twelve years
would live to twenty-six. The figures
seem somewhat startling and have hardly
been sufficiently proved to be trustworthy,
Meanwhile, it is said that medical man in
Waterbury, Conn, has not put shoes on his
horses for two years, driving them winter,
summer, spring and Autumn bare without
any trouble. The doctors theory is that
nature has provided for the horse that a
horse can travel over all kinds of roads that
the hoof will be moist. and that the frog
coming to the ground keeps the hoof prop,
erly spread, and free from founder and all
diseases.

OLD ALPH'S RATHER,
A Snake That Contained as Many Articles
as Variety Store.
Columbus (Ga.) Times,

Columbus ia. Times,
A correspondent writing from Geneva,
Ga, under date of June %, says: The
largest rattlesnake of the season was
killed near here this week by Alph Brown,
an old freedman. 1t measured four feet and
seven inches in length, and had eleven rat
ties. Alph says he has known the snake to
be in his premises for five years,
but for two years he has been
missing until last week. He was
discovered under his dwelling by his wife
He says she was preparing dinner and had
noticed her pet eat about half way through
a burned hole in the floor, which was his
way of entering the room, and in a few mo-
ments his mewing caused her to think he
WAS in distress. She called Tommie, but
still he did not make his entrance, and the
,cond time she took him by the neck to
pull him through, and behold. the monster
had swallowed Toms tail, and she came near
pulling both through.
She Immediately left for the field to find
Alph, to help her conquer the enemy. Alph
came with his spade, butt his house being well
planked around the pillars he decided to try
his luck with hot water He scalded at him
for two hours without success. He then
went two and a-half miles and borrowed q
gun, raised a plank in his floor and gave him
charge of fifteen buckshot, which put an
end to his rafting music. After examining
him for some time, he decided to see what
| he had been feasting upon, and to his sur
| prise, he found within him pipe, a small
pair of scissors, two knife-haudles, fourteen
rats and u portion of his wife's soap gourd.
| Alph says he is satisfied he planked him III
fully two years ago. He has smelled him
often, but could not find him. This is the
seventeenth one he has killed on his place III
three years.
