Prairie Cattle Arc Well.

The fifteenth annual convention of the
Northwest Texas Cattle Growers asso.
citation was held at Dallas recently. The
range cattle country all along the line OF
the plain from Montana to the gulf was
represented, and the report from the
whole range country, with the exception
of a few drought stricken spots, was
that the range cattle have been partic
ularly well preserved during the past
season. Very little suffering has been
occasioned by storms, and the grazing
was good all through the winter. 1t j:
predicted that if cold weather holds of
for the rest Of the season range cattle all
along the line will be fatter and in bet

A Fad in Corsets That Costs Money.

A recent bride distanced all of her
contemporaries in the value of one item
of her trousseau, and it Is said by her
friends that she thereby set fashion
that must henceforth be followed by all
brides of any pretensions in the world of
society. While it is, of course, the rule
for the expectant wife to have her bridal
corsets made far more deliberately and
extensively than has been her former
custom, often having them embroidered
most dehcately, it is declared that this
instance is the first where gold was used
in the place of steel, both for the clasps,
the eyelets and the lacing tips.
The few intimate friends of the bride
who were permitted to gaze upon the
mysterious portion of her outfit had
their attention called to this feature Of
the beautiful corsets, and they say that
examination showed the metal portions
to be composed of gold as described.
One young woman had the temerity
TO ask what the advantage of gold was,
and she was informed that it did not dis
color and was in every way preferable
TO steel. 1t was generally agreed that
the idea was an awfully clever one, but
at the same time it was regretted that
the world at large would not know
about the gold. No one dared to ask
how much the corsets cost, The price,
however, was $500 pair, and the bride
had three pairs, one in white, another IL
pale blue and the third in black.-New

II Is most remarkable that though
music is part of the education OF most
women, and with all their aptitude for
the art and ability in Interpretation, the
sex has never produced a great COM
poser, and comparatively few compost
lions that have attained any great pop
ularity. Miss French, a young Irish
woman living in Paris, is an exception.
and another is Miss Hope Temple, q
young Englishwoman. The most popu'
lar of her compositions is entitled MEM
cries." which is a song of great depth OF
feeling. 1t is a pretty glimpse that we
have of Miss Temples childhood when
we hear of her living near Dover, where
the gallant i'll starred Twenty-fourth
regiment was quartered.
She loved the soldiers, and they, one
and all, loved her and treated her as a
little daughter Of the regiment. Her
very first composition was waltz for
the band to play, and as she taught it to
them herself we may be sure that full
justice was done to the young conductor
and her melody. 1t was a great sorrow
to her that this idyllic episode was fol-
lowed by the grim realities of war, and
that the disastrous battlefield of Isandhl-
wana, in Zululand, was the grave Of
nearly all the brave men who used to ga
lutte her so gayly when she went in and
out among them. She had little musical
education, and always hated the piano
as an instrument, but success in song
writing has caused her to advance step
by step. She is at work ON an operetta.

Shot tho Horses to End tho Runaway.

Deputy Marshal Tom Smith has re
turned from the territory and tells of a
thrilling experience of his few nights
ago. He and Deputy Marshal Booker
were driving across the prairie between
midnight and day. In crossing a ditch
Booker, who was driving, pitched head
first over the dashboard on the ground.
The horses became frightened and ran.
Smith was in the buggy helpless, as the
lines had fallen outside. He had nc
knowledge of the country and did not
know what moment he would go over a
precipice or into barbed wire. He was
afraid to Jump lest he should break his
neck or limb. So he leveled his Win
chester and began firing at the horses,
and three or four shots brought them
down. The horses cost Smith $3.50 apiece,
but he got the man he started after.
