The cow is not only the chief factor
in the s~ustenance of American child
hood, American manhood and American
womanhood, but is the hope of he
country for it's nal regeneration of the
greatest industry. The COW has been
neglected too long already; she has
been permitted to browse the scant
heritage of overstocked ranges; and
has been worried by dogs, harried by
cowboys with lariats n red hot
branding irons. She has been branded
and counterbranded, bored for hollow
horn, gashed for hollow tail, but at
milking time she turned up smiling,
and after being curried with a and
spike, with n eye on the gap and
kicked the pail over the back fence
and made a break for liberty. After
all this she has stocked the plains with
her progeny, garnished the butchers
blocks with their mortal remains, fed
our babies, nourished our youth,
strengthened u manhood, added
bloom to the cheek of beauty, and
wealth to the cattle kings and the
country. But we have the new COW,
the educated and accomplished COW
as proud of her pedigree as If it ex-
tended to the Mayfiower. We have
unlimited faith in the civilized COW.
Like the Apostle Paul, eve know in
whom we have believed In consid-
Grafton of the distinguished public
services of the cow, rendered to hu-
mainly, we have determined to have
her crowned queen of domestic ami
mails, and all the we'll bred beasts and
fowls of the farm have been invited
to attend the ceremonies and perform
the functions connected Herewith, and
in Texas arm and Ranch Of July 2,
the coronation will be illustrated by one
of the foremost of American artists and
described by the facile faber of a cow
raised writer.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

The last hot spell sent linen and check
skirts to the front in a hurry. Nothing
is more comfortable and certainly noth-
ing looks heater and cooler when per-
fectly fresh than a skirt of white duck
pique or cheviot. The linen skirts
aren't so attractive, but they are more
practical for everyday purposes in a
city.

The shock came close on to midday.
The air was hot and sultry. The sky
was without a cloud. A great stiffness
seemed to mover over the city, and
then, without warning, the earth
trembled. Men and women left their
houses and ran into the streets, only
to meet death in the bowels of the
earth or in the hidden recesses of the
sea.
In his ANNALS Of Jamaica" published
in 1928, Rev. George Wilson Bridges
quotes from a letter written by one
of the survivors, rector-twoo or three
days after the disaster, which is, in
part, as follows:
After I had been at church reading,
which / did every day since I was rec
tor of this place, to keep up some show
of religion, and was gone to a place
hard by the church where the mer-
chants meet, and where the president
of the council was, who came into my
company and engaged me to take a
glass Of wormwood wine as a whet be-
fore dinner, he being my very good
friend, I stayed with him, upon which
he lighted a pipe of tobacco, which
he was pretty long in taking, and not
being willing to leave him before IL
was out, this determined me from 60
ing to dinner to n Captain Roden's
whittier I was invited, whose house
upon the first conclusion, sunk into the
earth and then into the sea with his
wife and family and some that were

JOSEPH KuBLER PUBLISHER

An account old enough to vote was
settled in Tennessee a little whlle ago.
A man who is now q police justice OF
Henderson, Ky, borrowed 1925 from a
friend twenty-one years ago to pay lor
4 stock purchase in western tennessee,
there being no bank In the town wheTe
the transaction was carried on. lie
promised to return the sum on the FOL
lowing day, planning to go to the oWn
where the money was banked In the
meantime. He came back with the
money, but his friend was away, SO he
gave it to his friends partner, then
circuit clerk of the county. Eighteen
months later his friend wrote him,
asking for the money and expressing
his surprise at the apparent neglect:
The borrower wrote Immediately OF
the transaction with the partner, put
the partner denied all knowledge OF
the money. The borrower paid ms
friend. Recently he heard tlat in the
Office Of the circuit clerk an old envel-
ope with 1925 In it had been found, ana
he went to get 1t. 1t is supposed the
partner clerk put it away and alto
gether forgot it.

some close calls. While on a scout once

Before the warrior could recover from this

his side, Lee called to a friend and said,
Jack, pull this devilish thing out. The
friend gave q tug. The arrow did not

Nc Web Of Things.

'Tis sad that memory Is life,
And that, though dead, men are alive,
Removed from sorrow, care and STRIFE,
They live because their works survive.
And some find sweetness In the thought
That immortality is now;
That though their earthly parts are
brought
To re-unite with all below,
The spirit and the life yet live
In future lives OF all our kind,
And, acting still I'm them, can give
Eternal life to every mind.
The web OF things on every side
liz Joined by lines We may not see;
And, great or narrow, small or wide
What has been governs what shall be.
No change in childhood's early day, .
No storm that ragged, no thought that
ran,
But leaves n track upon the clay
Which slowly hardens into man;
And 80, amid tho race OF men,
No change IL lost, seen or unseen;
And OF earth no deniZen
Shall be as though he had not been.
