Showing strong Points.

l remained and tarried around over
there in the hill country about week
on that trip, with my general head
quarters at the Garner place. And along
in durin of that time made it my bust
ness to watch that boy Jeems, which he
was then IA years old past, Is come next
grass. The first night he come up
about dusk drivin a six-mule team, the
wagon loaded with fresh cut timbers.
Him and a niger boy then unloaded
and took out and fed. After supper a
crowd of the settlement boys come to-
gether and blowed up tie dogs and went

one eye that Jeems was the mainest

mornin 1 got up and was browsin

Jeems calm up the hogs and drivin out
the COWS and tendin to the stock in gen.

out rid1n around through the fields look
in at the crops, and way down in the
swamp we run up with the boy Jeems
and a squad of bands cuttin timbers
and buildin a new weather house. That
night Jeems come up with new saddle
horse which he had snapped for late in
the evenin--which he made the trade
with a Methodist circuit rider passin
through the settlement.
When 1 got good chance l asked old
man Cas- what sort of a trade Jeems had
made.
He jest naturally snapped the Twin
socks off the preacher" says the old
man, lookin proud and tickled to death.
Il can't tell as yet whether you will

mornin that 1 left, ''but / don't make no

LIKE VAST VOLCANIC BUBBLE.
Extraordinary Freak of Nature Near the
Mexican City of Puebla.

Mexican City of Puebla.
Rev. +. S. Bortain, of Puebla, writes
as follows: ut may be of interest to
some of the readers of the Herald who
visit Puebla 10 know of one of the less
visited attractions in the vicinity of the
City of the Angels. / refer to the Cox
comate.' 1t is about 20 minutes distant
from Puebla over the street car line to
Cholula. Any street car conductor can
point it out TO the curiosity-seeker. 1t
is to the right of the car line, about 500
yards distant.
ut looks from the car window to be
q pile of white stones or a well-bleached
haystack. But upon closer inspection
it proves to be a tumulus of white cal
careous stone evidently of water for
nation, about so feet in height and 100
feet in diameter at the base. The form
is that of a truncated cone. At the
apex is an elliptical-shaped opening
about 25 feet along the minor and so
feet along the major axis. 1t is a bell
shaped cavity and lined with ferns of
various descriptions. l should judge
the depth to be at least 100 feet, and at
the bottom, so far as is visible, the open
ing must be GO feet in diameter. In
the bottom, on one side, are to be seen
some gorgeous ferns and on the other
side pool of water.
Tradition says that the ancient Az
tees were accustomed to worship here
the genius of the spot, and occasional
ly threw in a live victim to appease his
Eubterranean majesty. 1t is also said
that few victims of the inquisition
were thrown down here to reflect upon
the controverted points of doctrine. At
all events it is most singular freak of
nature, as it is in the middle of level
plain, or rather barley field. Itlooks
to have been some volcanic bubble, of
which the great Mexican upland is so
full, and is well worth visit on the
part of the curious.

Mexican friends, / have found no one

However looked at, it will be folly to

Government viii be buying that which
is its own, lies upon it's own lands, and
title to which none others possess If
it chooses to dispute it. There are
other reasons to be advanced against
the purchase proposition. some of them
obvious. some relating to matters that
take on the tinge of jobbery. Practi-
cally there is nothing to sell, nothing
to buy, since there is not foot of these
roads that would not have to be recon-
structed if improved methods of getting
into the valley are to be provided, and
