flames being confined to the dark room
Of the Jail.
There was only one prisoner In the Jail

for him TO have set fire to it. The theory
seems to be that the fire was the work
of an incendiary.

glars. Although Mexican outrages had
decreased in numbers, and the Indians
had entirely disappeared from the
state, the rangers, from December,
1890, to November 80, 1892, made more
than 900 arrests.
Any unmarried man over Is wears of
age is eligible as a ranger, but it is an
exceedingly difficult matter to get into
the organization. Courage. physical
soundness, first-class horsemanship,
precision with firearms and steady
habits are the requisites for member
ship. The term of enlistment is one
year. The ranger furnishes his horse,
accoutrements and arms, and the State
furnishes food for the men, forage, am
munition. medicine and medical attend
ance. The pay of the captains is 500
a month, of sergeants $50 month. and
of privates $50 a month The force
is made up of young men, sober, well
ordered, and, as a rule, fairly well edu-
Gated. The rangers of to-day attend
to business in the same thorough fash
ion as their predecessors, and In small
bands of six or eight men they pursue
and capture the worst desperadoes of
the border counties.

many times to aid In quelling an In

a band of Mexican marauders. After
the war the rangers We're gradually re-

eral years there has been no regular
force in service, though the Rangers ut
times turn out TO round up some law
less band.
There Is STILL however, In the Office
of the adjutant general of Texas at
Austin list OF 1,S00 equipped and ex-
perienced men who are amenable to
calls for immediate duty as rangers by
the Governor. The list is revised every
year. ana only the most hardy may
serve. There is also n list of reserve
rangers TO the number of 6,000. The
stock men and owners of the big Texas
ranches all employ some men belong

close of the civil war the Texas Legis-
lature provided for calling out 1000

In the summer of 1917 the rangers

Born King of Spaiu.

Alfonso MIL, king of Spain, has the
distinction of being the only ruler who
was born king. His father died be-
fore Alfonso was born, and when the
baby king appeared he was introduced
to his mobiles and senators while lying
on silver tray held In the arms of
Senior Sagasta, his present prime min
lister.
Then came the trouble of naming the
infant monarch. Queen Christina
wished to name him after his father,
Alfonso NIL, but almost everybody as
serted that an Alfonso Mi. would
surely be unlucky. Finally the baby
was named Alfonso Leon Maria Isidor
Paschal Antonio Fernando Santiago.
Soon after his baptism he was invested
with all the Spanish royal orders.
When IL years old he opened Parlia-
ment in person. The king now has n
company of baby troopers" whose
ages range from 5 to II years. They
have uniforms like those OF Spanish
regulars carry bayonet rifles and each
carries Il tiny brace of pistols. 1t Is
almost worth being king If boy can
have troop of soldiers like that,

examined. Many persons seem utterly
unable to resist the temptation to scrib-
BILE message upon the back of photo
graph OF the lid Of box. A written
dedication in book or a written greet
ing, such as the conventional merry
Christmas. is allowable. but, with
these exceptions, any written word
makes package liable to letter postage
The whole fly leaf of a book may be filled
with dedicatory note, but any other
words as, for instance, "See Page A,
would cause the package to be classed
as written matter.
Another common error is to put seal
ing wax on the knot of the string around
the package. Such a package is classed
as 'sealed against inspection and
must pay letter rates. The same rule
applies to boxes that have their lids
nailed or tackled ON. The amount of
money collected for insufficient postage

Few bodies of men have had more
thlillngly interesting experiences than
that unique and picturesque organiza-
tion-the Texas Rangers. The organl-
cation Of the Rangers dates back to
1886. The hardy Texans We're then at
war with Mexico for the freedom of
the republic OF Texas from Mexican
rule. When the Alamo had fallen and
the frightful massacre there had occur
red, Gen. Sam Houston organized
among the settlers in the territory II
troop of / 900 mounted rincmen. They
were the original Texas rangers. They
did wonders in the face of the army
under Gen. Santa Ana In the battle OF
San Jacinto. When the republic of
Texas was organized in December
1887, the rangers were retained us Il
sort OF standing army for the frontier
of the unique republic. During the
seven years before Texas was admit
ted as a State in the Union the rangers
repealed horde Of murderous Mexican
marauders from beyond the Rio
Grande, fought into submission the
nerce ApacheS, ColnancheS and kioWaS
dozens Of times, and administered JUS
tice on II wholesale plan TO great
number Of the red-handed outlaws and
rufiians who fioeked into the new re-
public from all parts of the United
States.
The Texas rangers became 50 much
of an institution for the protection Of
life and property of the settlers and
lonely ranchmen Of the territory that
when Texas became State 1,200 of
the rangers were retained as mounted
police along the Mexican border and
for holding in check the almost intract-
able Indian tribes of the Southwest.
Until the civil war broke out the Texas
rangers were kept constantly in the
field. At times there were reserve
