"Well, how is it about mos
quitos?n
Amt any," was his laconic
answer.
cali right" thought l, "you will
experience them before long," and
we retired promising ourselves
good nights sleep, without
mosquitoes, cayote howl or rattle
snake. True, in the beginning
these vermine left US unmolested,
but another condition initiated
against our going to sleep. Our
beds, namely, were not very soft
and this entire region is quite
stoney, and we children of the
city, accustomed to soft beds and
mosquito bars, had to first get
used to this couch. Then too, che
wagon seat propped up by stones
and our boots, served as our pill
low.
The gray clouds Of the skies
were soon dissipated, and there
followed, what is characteristic of
Texas weather, an exceedingly
beautiful moonlight night. We
could to our hearts content breath
in the fresh prairie breeze--but
sleep was out OF the question.
Besides the Internal rocks on which
we lay there came another pest
the frogs and wood crickets. First
there sounded in some obscure
corner long drawn out "crook,
crook" and there followed other
voices in like tempo, until finally
a whole band of such water beasts
broke out into inharmonious con-
cert Of pandemonidm. And in
the midst Of this there sounded
the endless chirp of the cricket
and grasshopper; a pair OF owls
gave vent to their unearthly boot;
the mosquitoes began to sing and
sting; the red bug got in their
work of torture; the cattle trotted
through the quite woods to
quench their thirst, while now
and then could be heard the cayote
howl or barking dogs at the Next
can iarm-indeed it was sufficient
to put the most patient man all
out OF sorts. This mixed concert
Of crooking frogs and chirping
crickets kept up all night long.
NV companion muttered some
thing to himself and suddenly
leaving the couch, bundled him.
self into the wagon and closed his
ears. For me sleep had disap-
peared entirely and l fell into a
half doing sort OF reverie, think
ing of past days in Germany
the grand old student time with
its duels, fencing class and drink
ing bouts the romantic excursions
during vacation, the France Prus-
sin war, etc.
Yes, those were days-and now
we have the prairie under a Texas
oak, surrounded by frogs and mos
quitos. Finally l did sleep, but
it was of short duration(--it may
have been , 2: m,-)t0r the curious
cattle came close by and shifted
at the wagon and the doctors feet.
At last / again dropped into a
sort Of half sleep and time began
to dream and apostrophtse in
verse! / had gone through the
gamut OF student songs, especial
~ those Of "Glycerimns Bonben-
meyer" and soon had conjured up
a verse Of my own.
cat this juncture the author
jumps astride his bucking pegas-
sus and soon disappeared behind
a cloud OF dust in a region far be-
yond the poetic reach of the trans
lator.)
Yes, wanted to sing of the
prairies, rattlesnakes, red bugs

sleep that-thank God-lasted un-
til the sun began to shine in our
faces and our little "resting up
