The Texas Panhandle.

The strip of land, usually denomin-
ted the "Texas Panhandle" was coded
the United States by Texas about
e time of the annexation. It does not
long, properly speaking, to the In.
ian Territory, although, not being at.
;;ched to any organized local govern
Nent, it is generally included in maps
{ this Territory. tits a comparatively
sterile country, except along the few
water courses; has an average temper
allure of about 81 deg; and an annual
rainfall of some twenty inches. It pro-
duces bunch grass, and large areas Of il
constitute good grazing grounds in the
spring and fall months. 1t is almost
uninhabited, except by herders, OF
cowboys" The government has moi
and opened it for settlement
but several cattle ranges have been To-
Gated and are claimed and used under
"squatter law" The northern bound,
Gry of the "Texas Panhandle" lies about
eiShty-six miles south of Dodge City

How Ostriches Breed.

After pairing, the ostrich begins to
axe his nest. It is the male alone
lat performs this duty. To do this it
luats upon the ground, and, balancing
self upon its sternum, it scratches up
le earth with its legs and throws the
nd behind it. When it has dug out
iough on one side to suit it, it turns
'ound and begins to dig on another
lie, and continues this operation until
has made hole large enough for it

ptical in shape, and is about O.25 me-
rs deep, 1 meter wide and II meters
ing. A few days after the nest is fin
ned the female begins to lay one egg
every alternate day for eighteen or
,enty days. She then rests for while,
hich time varies from four to ten days,
al then begins to lay more. A pair
ortriches yield forty eggs. This is
My the minimum number, which is al
avs reached. It is not unusual for a
ell-fed, well-kept pair to yield fifty
nd even sixty eggs. The eggs are
aced so as to leave no space between
lem. They are sat upon at first for
everal hours each day, and finally al
ogether. The male and the female
rood alternately. At night the male

-reater warmth than the female. When
he birds relieve each other on the nest
he newcomer turns over each egg, in
;rder that the portion which has lain
gainst the nest shall receive the
yarmth of the brooder. These birds
'erform their duties with the greatest
Kill, without any noise or breakage of
re eggs. They squat down and with
heir head and neck rake up and over
arm every one of the eggs, one after the

st. Paul and Minneapolis papers are in
duIging in free fight over the city print
Tag of st. Paul, alleging that thousands of
dollars are uselessly expended just for the
sake of supporting the GLOBE. 1t is moth
ing but snarl of disappointed envy. For
years the impecunious papers of
st. Paul have been helped along
with bits of state patronage embed
led in special laws passed by the legisla-
ture for their benefit. Some of thsse
laws provide that official notices which
concern certain towns or villages through
out the state shall be published only in
some two-penny newspaper at the pitol.
To give the GLOBE credit it has always
worked for the interests of the country
press instead of exhibiting the remorse-
less greed which characterizes some of its
contemporaries.
