The Texas indians have always had a
thorough contempt for tine bluecoats. In
1879 the railroad boom began. The
builders ran their lines with an army of
men in advance to drive back the savages.
The railroads have done more to subdue
the Indians in Texas than any other in
fiuencr. Lo can't stand steam. The
State in 1874 began to prepare for the
immigration influx which followed. De-
spairing of protection against the Indians
from Uncle Sam, the Legislature equip
ped the Frontier Battalion Of State Ran
gers. This handful Of scouts attacked the
marauders wherever found, and did in
six years what the United States troops
had attempted for twenty years-drove
out the Indians Recently one of these
gallant scouts was asked: "Whst do you
rangers do out here r I'VE protect the
frontier" answered the ranger. But,
expostulated the inqairer, Il thought
the United States ,ro ,ps were sent cut
for frontier protection. $50 theY were,
and the rangers came gu. to protect the
troops.

Stamp Collecting.

The hobby Of stamp-collecting has
more riders than most people have any
idea of. In fact 1t provides profitable
industry for numerous specialists VINO
foster the practice. There are about D.
500 different stamps known, and certain
of them are worth more than many man
gets for salary in year. A New York
banker has an album Of collected stamps
that is valued at not less than S3O,0 900, a
lady one that is valued at go, 600. and
a number Of Others are owned III that
city which are said to be worth from So
600 down to 5000. There are stamp
hunters Just as therearehunters Tor curious
books, rare manuscripts, and all sorts OF
curio. Others gather them for merchan-
disc. and often hold them for length OF
time, knowing that every year will add to
their value. In 1876 a collection was sold
in London for 5000, and another was
purchased in Paris last year tor 4o,ooo
francs. Certain individual stamps sell
for 500, local stamp issued by the
pos.office at Brattleboro, VT, in 1876
commanding that price. There are many
others of ike fictitious value. The mama

scheme was promptly broken up, the pro
