Riding to School nn Rrnncns

AT Manor, Texas, in that sparsely
settled country along the line of the
Houston and Texas Central Railway. ]
came to large wood -colored buildinp
surrounded by a caravan of horses. ]
counted upward of fifty, all saddled and
each hitched TO tree. Everything
about the house was as still as death.
''It must be funeral" / said. Sud
denly the scene changed. The doors of
the building burst open and out broke
fifty school children. Schools out -
they shouted, and a caravan of children
scrambled for the horses. In moment
the youngsters had mounted and were
riding helter-skelter over the prairie
The Texas mustangs seemed TO scent the
frolic and kicked up their heels as they
galloped home with the school children,
With their dinner-psils jingling on the
pommels of the saddles, and their
dresses aud jackets waving in the wind.
they looked like mad caravan OF
Bcdouins.
''How far did you Gomez" / asked n
little tot who sat behind his sister on a
speckled mustang.
81 tum dood way--I tum"-
'Why, he's come six miles, inter
rupted his sister. "Jimmy is only five
years old. He doesn't know how far he
does come"
''But live eight miles" said lift1e
Lord Fauntleroy on dancing bronco,
"but can ride it in an hour and have
done it in thirty minutes" Then he
spurred his horse till he lcaped away
over the prairie
il is very common to see school chill
dren wearing spurs in Texas Texas has
the richest school fund of any State in
the Union, but she lacks the children.
Some counties have rs much as $50, 600
laid up for school purposes. They are
just waiting for the children TO grow.

or blood ON n white vest IL was a
curious mark, such as | had never seen
before, and when quietly investigated
further l discovered that the murdered
man had been struck on the back OF the
hesd and fallen forward on his face. He
had very thick hair, aud, while the blow
had crushed the skull, he had bled but
little. The blood would not spurt from
such a blow. The body had not been
iiited, ard so how did Graham get that
blood stainf Accident gave me the
knowledge. | was looking the ground
over at lossing's for the fourth or fifth

leaped upon me in caressing way. Los

only would have stored it in the stall.
Who was insidel A white man and two
colored assistants. Within an hour I
had ascertsined that the white man,
whose name was Foster, was absent
for an hour on the evening Of
the murder. and that since he
had acted very queerly. arrested him.
charged him with the crime, aud he did
not hold out fifteen MINUTES. His mo-
tive was robbery. He did not intend TO
kill his victim, but only to stun him.
he had just struck him when the dogs
barked greeting TO Graham, and, over
come by sudden fright, Foster dashed
away and dared not return. He thought
he had only to keep still to render him
self safe, and. but for my being present
when the saddle was found, he might
never have been suspected. Graham
was cleared aud Foster was hanged.
The change had been brought about by
the fondling of dog.

Inherited Blood Poison.

How many people there are who Sc
distress from sores, aches, pains and
eruptive tendencies are due to inh erited
blood poison. Bad blood passes from
parent TO child, and it therefore is the
duty of husband and wife to keep their
blood pure. This is easily accomplished
by timely use of B. B. B. botanic
Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co.,
Atlanta, for book of most convincing
proof.
James Hill, Atlanta, Ga, writes: My
two sons were afflicted with blood
poison, which doctors said was neredi-
tary. They both broke out in sores and
eruptions which B. B. B. promptly con-
trolled and finally cured completely. "
Mrs. S. III. Williams, Sanday, Texas,
writes: my three poor afflicted chill
dren, who inherited blood poison, have
improved rapidly after use of B. B. B.
It is Godsend."
J. r. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station N.
c., Feb. IS, 1885, writef: bone and
blood poison forced me to have my leg
amputated. and on the stump there
came a large ulcer, which grew worse
every day until doctors gave me up to
die. / only weighed 100 pounds when
I began to lake B. B. b., and IL bottles
increased my weight to $50 pounds and
! made me sound and well. [ meyer

consideration at the hands Of this
public and many living in remote
sections of our State and country.
