would be impossible to closely
estimate the value of all pro-
perty devoted to dairying, but
it can be safely said that in
gross investment it is ex-
ceeded by few other branches
of industry. There are about
1900, 900 COWS in this coun-
try, or one to every four inha-
bitants; one cow, however,
furnishes the milk, butter and
cheese for more than four per-
sons as large quantities OF
dairy products are exported.
Although this is the greatest
dairy country III the WOFIu'
it does not lead in the per
capita consumption of dairy
products; one of the principal
reasons for this is the failure of
Americans to appreciate the
food value of milk and its pro-
ducts. In someof the older
European countries two or
three times as mnch milk and
cheese is consumed, per capita
as in the United States.

GOING TO CUBA
Gainesville, Texas, Jan. y

Last night about II:3o
o'clock a man giving his name
as Frank Lester was in the
city and attracted quite a
crowd in a restaurant on Cali
fornia street, by the way he
handled a Winchester rifle, as
he had only one arm. He
stated to the Post reporter that
he in company with four other
men, was en- route to Cuba.
They had each a Winchester
rife and about 1900 rounds
Of ammunition, and said they
expected to get more.
They go from here to Deni-
son, where they get transpor-
tation to Galveston, and ex-
pect to sail from there. Lest
er's history, as he gave it,
would lay the foundation for
a remarkable story. He was
actively engaged in the guer-
rilla warfare in Missouri with
the Andersons and the James
boys. When he went to war
he was IS years old and was
engaged TO be married to a
girl II years of age. He lost
his arm in a skirmish at Viii
son creek, but served until the
close of the war. He then
went home and married the
girl of his choice, and remain
ed in Missouri. On a trip to
New York he found a poor
boy on the streets and took
him home to live with him.
The boy remained at his house
until he was 20 years of age,
and one day Lester went away
from home, to be gone three
days, and on his return, he
found that his wife had eloped
with the boy and gone to Mex
leo.
He wandered about for a
year or so. and landed in the
Chickasaw Nation, where he
married a native and took a
claim.
Two years ago his Indian
wife died and he went to
Dougherty, l. T., where a new
railroad was in the course of
construction. He took a con-
tract and when completed he
was unable to get his money,
and lost all he put into the rail
road with the exception of 500
with which he expects to pay
his way to Cuba.
He says that he has no one
to look after and no one look
after him, and if he was killed
it would be all right but if he
came through he would get a
good thing" when Cuba was
tree, which he thinks there is
no doubt of.

RUINED CITIES OF YUCAfAN
An Interesting Lecture by DR..
William H. Holmes.
Talk About a Race Of People Wfl'lss
Pr,rrcss in CiviIiza tion Was In
terTupted ny the SpaniardS-

DR.. william II. Holmes, the leader Of
the Hemmenwa expedition, entertained
and instructed a large asSemblage last
night at the First Congregational Churen'
his subject being THE Ruined Cities OF
Yucatan." The lecture was superbly
illustrated by stereopticon views AMI
was given under the auspices of the
National raphic Society.
The people OF Yucatan were shown to be
a race allied with the Aztecs. The civil
lization of the former had reached a stage
on a level with that of the Egyptians
OF about 5000 years ago. The peo9le
of Yucatan, the lecturer contended, would
nave been at par with Eastern peoples If
even eras had they had the advantage of
the use Of tile domestic animals. The
Civilization such as it was, was inter
rupted by the Spanish conquest, at whicn
point the progress of the race probably
stopped, because their art was largely
religious. and their religion was lie
stroyed.
The views given were of the curious
temples OF the people. 4 singular feature

The carvings of three interiors were also

Of the people. The colors of the works
were we'll preserved. Dr. Holmes said that
it " as doubtful If the hieroglyphics OF the
race would ever be read. He exhibited
a page from one of these books, the char
acters being glyphs and phonetics, also a
high relief from the walls OF a temple
representing an allegory which was su-
perior in design and treatment to any.
thing Oriental of equal date. A ra her
curious detail of some of the carved human
figures was that they had long boards, thus
di ifferentiating the originals from the
aboriginal races of this continent.
