WHEN A BOY,

When was boy Iloved girl
Whose hair had many a clus tering curl,
Whose eyes were bright
As the stars at night
And her smile like the moons pale light
There was never another fancied so,
No other could BID me come and 60.
thought her divine,
I wished her mine,
courted her oft in the soft moon shine.
But the years have fed in their onward pace
And left of that love no lingering trace,
And am a man,
With many plan,
Trying to reach them all if | can.
She is lady Of stately air,
Lovers and ladies call her fair,
But am man
With many plan
Catch me fair lady now if you can.
Boys have hearts that are fond and true
But men with hearts are faint and few.
When was a boy
Fond love was a Joy.
But man never played with such toy.

All tenderness went
When love was spent,
And business a shade of sorrow lent.

Thoughts on the Ocean Wave.

Somehow, You never realize the great
bigness of this World until you are
stretched out on a steamer chair and look
at the vast expanse of water all about you.
1t makes you feel as you never felt before.
how little you are and how big God lis.
II makes You wonder how many times
that great monster, the deep, has taken
into its arms women who are happy and
those who are not, little children who are
loved and great, strong men who had
thought nothing could conquer them,
You wonder who was the first man that
went a-sailing and where he got his
courage. You wonder whether people
realize the difference between going across
the ocean now and crossing it twenty
five years ago, and then you wonder If
everybody ever does remember all their
mercies. London Letter.

Swimmers Are Like Poets.

Boys, as rule, should begin to learn
how to swim when seven years old. No
one is too old to learn how to swim If he
has sufficient physical force. can teach
any boy In ten lessons to swim. Boys
should never be thrown into the water
over their heads and left to struggle in
order that they may learn how to swim.
In fact, boy should never be frightened
or at all uneasy when he goes to the tank
Of the natatorium to be taught the first
movements in swimming. 1t is one Of my
rules to let boys run around and get used
to the tank and its surroundings before
begin to teach them. The water must be
shallow so as to be perfectly safe.
It is no sinecure to teach boy how to
swim, but I.enioy seeing progress, and in
ten lessons my pupils swim easily. Great
swimmers, like poets, are born and not
made Byron SWAN the Heliespont, dis
lance of some three miles, which was
thought great feat in his time Any or
binary swimmer now can cover q greater
distance and nothing would be thought of

Penalty for Aduiteration,

Severe measures have recently been
taken by the Russian government against
adulteration and the sale of injurious sub
stances as food. Persons convicted of
these offenses will be liable to fine of
800 rubles (e48) or to Imprisonment for
three months. For second offense these
penalties will be doubled, and third con
viction will entail the loss of civil and
political rights. Mr.. Bright's doctrine of
caveat emptor evidently finds no favor in
the eyes of the czar Our own stree and
enlightened" country might with advan-
tage take hint from such truly bensvo-
lent despotism.- Chicago Herald.

The Refrigerator.

Besides other cattlemen here, those
interested in the refrigerator pro-
jects have began TO collect. Yester-
day Col. r. f. Stafford, E. J. Sand

bus put in their appearance, and in con-
versation with q GAZETTE man, were
enthusiastic over the prospects of their
scheme.
1--WE have a good thing-the best for
the livestock interest of Texas that
could be offered, - said Mr.. Ehrenwith
10 THE GAZETTE man, land if the
cattlemen of the state will only go in
with US, there can be no question of the
result. Our contract with the English
syndicate is a most ~remunerative one
one that we can make good money out
Of, and one hat we can double, If We
wish to; and ii is one that we regard as
the salvation OF the cattle interests of the
Southwest
eve don't want any bonus, but all
we ask is for csttlemen of the Southwest
TO come in With u.s., aud we Will try and
help them out of the ruts.'
"What is your plan?'
"Tha we will submit TO the conven-
tion. / will say this, however, that it is
a consolidation of the three Texas re-
frigerators-one at Fort Worth, one at
Columbus and one at Victoria-an to
work in conjunction with each other,
and all under one management. BY so
doing we claim we can be of great benefit
70 the cattle interests OF Texas If we only
get the cooperation Of the cattlemen.

carried out, make a market for l50, 900

Whnr PRODIR Saw

A number of prominent cattle men are
already in the city, and a GAZETTE re-
porter has been busy among them trying
10 get their opinions on matters that per-
tain 10 the livestock interests. Among
them here is a well known gentleman,
who does not wish his name mentioned,
from St LOUIS. He is au fOit in the cat
tie business, and knows a heap about
what IS going on.
''There will be lots of people here -
he said TO the GAZETTE man land they
! lie men OF sense, and ! hope they
" i he able to do some good. / am
afraid, though, they will be handicapped
by the Big -Four, or the dressed beef men
as they are better termed, and that they
will he crippled in their efforts.
1.-The tact of the matter is: AS soon
as this meeting was Rgitated the
dressed beef men became alarmed and
they began TO lay round for some plan
20 counteract its effects. Do you know
shat they did? No? Well, they have
worked on the governmental de-
partments, and have succeeded
in having the quarantine line located
100 miles north of where it was last
year. 1t is now away up yonder in
the Panhandle country; and the regu-
lations OF the quarantine law are such
that all cattle from Texas and the In
dian Territory Will, if shipped at all,
have to 20 to the dressed beef men.
Don't you see how il is2 Why, after
cattle, under the law, are shipped from
Texas or the Territory they cannot be
driven 100 yards 10 the feeders, but the
Chicago and Kansas City packers have
them shipped right to their yards, kill
and dress them, and then send the meat
10 wherever they wish, Blu the feeder or
butcher who has no railroad running to
his place can have none of these cattle.
That s the way the new law works.
"Do you think this convention will
have any good efTect?''
81 al I say. I hope so, but l believe
the dressed beef men nave the govern
meut grabbed. -
What do you think of the newly es-
tablished quarantine line?'
al think it an outrage on Southern
cattlemen, and gives the Northern cattle
Taisers a free market. The line is en-
trely too far north, and virtually eX-
cludes Southern cattle from competing
with those Of the North. I think the
line should be, at least, as far south as
the Texas and Pacific railroad. Under
the law, as il now exists, you know,
Northern cattle car be driven ~anywhere;
Southern cattle can be driven nowhere
above the quarantine line, but they can
be shipped 10 any point in the country.
This will, of course, force them right 10
the dressed beef men, and then the jig is
up with the shipper
do you think this convention can do
anything towards having this line
~Changed?'
II do not. Noble is a man of deep
prejudices, and they are aroused.
What do you think of the order for
the cattlemeu to vacate the Strip?'
- think il is a 20. They nave to get
out 10y the Ist of October. If a herd Of
cattle is driven in there this spring the
Strip will be cleared by the government
in thirty days and that territory declared
open. This is straight goods, for / have
