Origin of The Maverick


from ue Lee iNOcE journal.
A few years ago, when cattle were of
little value as compared with the present,
when there were no pastures and the
stock roamed at liberty far and wide, and
upon thousand hills, the custom of
marking and branding unmarked stock
from a year old and upwards, was priv
ilege that by general use became almost
law among stockmen. The right to
brand and mark stock OF the age men
toned was undisputed until the insignia
ofsome mans stock possessions were
placed upon them. But the custom has
about been consigned to the past as one
of the practices that grew up under its
loose and unsatisfactory business system.
We have frequently seen what were
claimed to be correct statements" of
how the term maverick" as applied to
such unclaimed stock, originated, but
none of them SO far as we recollect were
correct. The term was derived from the
late Samuel A. Maverick, of this city,
and one Of the most honored citizens of
the republic, and the state afterwards.
In early times, Mr. Maverick established
a stock ranch on Matagorda bay and
placed = coupled Of fneNoes in charge Of
the cattle. They were trifiing, and paid
no attention to the cattle and hundreds
of animals grew up unmarked and un-
branded. Finally Mr.. Maverick conclud-
ed to sell out his cattle, and found pur-
chaser in the person of Major Toutont
Beauregard, brother of the distinguished
confederate general, who then resided
near what is known as the Conquista
crossing of the San Antonio river, about
fifty miles south of this city. Mr.. Beau
regard received the cattle, paid for them;
they were turned loose on the range and
wandered all over the surrounding
country. Many persons then did not
brand and mark stock, distinguishing
them as their own mainly by their colors
and forms and the ranges they frequent.
ed. Mr.. Beauregard's stock being un-
marked and unbranded, and mixing in
with other peoples stock, it was found
necessary to put his mark and brand
upon them, which he employed men to
do. When the men went to their work
people who met them ON the prairies
would ask, "What are you doing?" The
reply would be given, 1--WE are marking
and branding the Maverick stock pur-
chased by Mr., Beauregard." Therefore
whenever an animal unmarked or un-
branded was found, the finder would ex-
claim "That is Maverick" and soon all
began to follow suit, marking and brand
ing as described. This is the true origin
of the term.

The Virtue of a Good Sleep.
From the atlanta Constitution.

From the atlanta Constitution.
II do not think a person should be
walked at morning, and for this reason
when a man falls asleep he is in the shop
for repairs, as the railroad men say. His
frame and all it's intricate machinery is
is being overhauled and made ready for
the next days work. The wear of the
previous day is being repaired. Nature
is doing that herself She knows what
the tired frame needs just as she knows
how to make the heart throb and send
the blood coursing through the veins.
Then she takes that tired fame, lays it
down on bed surrounds it with the re-
freshing air of night, covers it with the
soft darkness and lets the man rest.

Sleep visits him, and as the hours wear
by his energies are renewed, his strength
comes back, and finally, when morning
breaks and the sunlight steals through
the lattice, he opens his eyes and is him
self again. Or if he is early to bed he
awakes with the cocks Growing. Now
who shall 60 to that mans side an hour
before he opens his eyes and say to ma
ture, stand aside and let him get up? He
has had enough rest. Well, nature will
say: you can take him if you will, but
will charge him with an hours loss Of
sleep and I'll collect it out of his bones
and nerves and his hairs and eyesight.

An indignant woman came to promi-
nent Austin physician and asked for a
remedy for her husbands rheumatism.
The doctor gave her prescription, and
told her:
"Get that prepared at the drugstore,
and rub it well over your husbands
back. If it does any good, come and let
me know. I've got touch of rheuma-
tism myself"
She was not an indignant woman when
she came, but was an indignant woman

An Artists Revenge.

About . week ago photographer call
edit ! private residences ~ Cssgli. and
'asked the lady 81 the house II he could
take q view of her house. "Don't want
any views. You couldn't take a view
with that old machine anyhow. Suppose
l was out in the front yard, nobody
would know me in the picture" The
man Of the camera explained how per-
feet his machine was for instantaneous
views but the woman refused to listen to
him. He accordingly went to the next
house, and there got an order for view.
When he began to arrange his instru-
ment the woman No. l came over, her
curiosity getting the better of her, and
the lady whose house was to be taken
invited her to stand in the front yard to
help from q group. Woman No. was
afraid her new silk dress wouldn't show
to good advantage that she seated herself
on the step of a ladder that stood along
side the fence. Just before everything
was ready she concluded that the foun-
ces would show better if she stood up,
and she accordingly rose to her feet.
Then the photographer lifted the cloth
from the nozzle of the camera and turned
his back to the scene just as the woman
fell off the top ofthe ladder on to fence
and caught her foot between the pickets.
She hung there all through the exposure
Of the plate and the photographer, un-
needing her cries for help, proceeded to
develop the negative. He found a
splendid picture of a woman hanging
head down from a picket fence. The
woman by this time had got loose from
the fence and demanded of the artist that
he destroy that plate. "Oh, it don't
show anything, madam. My work is 30
poor that you wouldn't be distinguished
from rose bush or straw stack. Don't
concern yourself at all, nobody in the
world would recognize you" She took a
look at the plate and almost tainted
away. That night her husband called
on the photographer, and paid him $50
cash for the picture. Yet why man
would want picture of his wife hanging
from fence is more than anybody can
tell

Worth coming half over this world to see:
To the poet theme, to the painter feast

A death chant thy waters melodiously sing
My race like thine ocean fresh waters shall

All Of such comforts would gladly forego
For one nights rest on downy bed,
with good safe roof above my head,
Out Of the camp smoke that pinch my eyes
Away from the cursed gnats and flies,
And to rest spell
At q good hotel.
It comforts me, that Comfort was here;
His notion Of comfort is somewhat queer;
Though into the canyon shall drop no tear
Nor silence keep while I've aught to soy:
The canyon is roaring every day,

anAlOusIy, ls IL opium!
"We must first save her life," replied
the doctor, evasively.
Proper remedies were administered SO
successfully that in few minutes the
victim was aroused from the state of
coma into which she had fallen, and
brought to her feet. Then began the
heroic treatment. She was beaten with
hands, pricked with sharp points and
subjected to repeated shocks from a gall
vanic battery, while her stomach was
attacked with the most powerful emetics
and all the while she was kept walking
up and down the room, despite her plead
ings to be allowed to lie down and close
her eyes. 1t took many hours before the
danger passed away. Then the doctor
sought the baronet in his library, and
said without preface: "Your daughter,
sir, is a confirmed opium eater; not only
has she used the drug in that form, but
has taken it simultaneously"
This is horrible news" moaned the
father. "Can not this frightful habit be
checked and finally stopped? 1fyou can
stop it, or ifyou think you can, relinq1ish
your career to devote yourself, to the
task, and will give you my whole for
tune; nay, even my life."
Dr.. Fielding shook his head gloomily.
"No," he said, science has not done that.
Even in paradise appetite reigned and
ruined"
That night the doctor pored over his
books and finally, as if possessed of some
new impulse, he fastened to his. labor
atory, and selecting from its shelves

of morphia. He was about to conduct an
