WILD HORSES DYING OUT.
Fencing Big Texas Pastures Has
Reduced The Herds.

The wild horses that used to roam
the Texas prsries are about about all
gone, says the Galveston News. L ask
ed an old resident what had become II
them and he told me that only very
few remained, that they were in
being xii ed as often as shot
could be had at them. I asked
him the reason for this destruction,
and he said that they were worthless,
in the first place, and in the second
they stole other horses which were
good and carried them off with them.
He informed me also that of all the
wild animals q horse or mule which
had formerly been under the dominion
of man was the widest when once 1t
became part of the wild herd. The
stations of the wild herd were always
am bilious to keep their "bunch" filled,
and would steal mare or horse, or
even q mule, from the settlements or
COW ranches when the occasion pre-
sented itself. When once q tame horse
or mule got with wild herd, he
! became the widest and most cunnln G
| of them all. AS the wire fences went
up the territory of the wild horse con-
| tracted. Finally all that rem aimed were
| in the large pastures.
| Twas told that before the pastures
| came it was the custom to "walk down
the wild herds and reduce them to SER
vitude. One man L met here told me
how this walking down" was done
He said that the wild herd which
one was determine to capture
always had certain range. This
range was known from men who
secuted the prairies. Fol-
instance, one man may have seen the
"bunch," for that is what the herd il
called, up near some particular pOlul
| in the northwest of the Pandhsn dle
| Another ranger may have seen the
same "bunch" fifty miles southeast o
where the first man saw it. Others
may have seen it along the route be
| tween the two points.
Thus it would be concluded that the
range was between the two point
mentioned. Four or five men would
enter the expedition to walk down tht
:'bunch." A man would be stationed
every twenty or thirty miles along tn.
range route, and then the ''bunct
would be started. For the first day tht
wild horses would scamper off, throw
ing their names and tails to the breeze
making a sight that would whet tht
desire of those pursuing them to cap
! ture them, for there is nothing prettiel
in the world than troop of wild horse
at distance. They look perfection
| when they throw up their hesds ant
| sniff the wind and then scamper away
I have seen one or two punches myself

VlNTON BRICK COMPANY
Has Just Been Organized In FL Paso
Bv Well Known Citizens.

The Vinton Brick and Tile company
of Vinton, Texas, has just been organ
lied with capital stockEof 1925, 900
and will apply for a charter within the
next few days The office of the COM
pany will be located in this city and
the manufacturing plant at Vinton.
81. S. Cloudman, John Kneale, P. @.
Faddis, W. S. McCutcheon, and w.
F. Payne, all of Ell Paso, and J. 81.
Osborn of Socorro are the stock holders
and constitute the board of directors,
with w. S. McCutcheon as president
and W. F. Payne, secretary, treasurer
and general manager.
J II. Osborn will be the superintend-
ent at the yards Of the concern. He is
a thorough brick man, so far as manu-
featuring brick and handling brick
machinery is concerned.
Messrs. Kneale, Faddis, and Cloud
man are three of the best known con.
tractors and property owners in Ell
Paso, while McCutcheon and Payne
stand high in business circles
1t is safe therefore to venture that the
brick manufacturing enterprise will
prove big success.
The new company has bought out
the old company at Vinton, which was
composed of Stewart & Crawford, J. ]

designate it the "poor mans club
which satisfies his ''recreative in
stinct." These expressions brought
forth q strong protest from the lips OF
Father Doyle, q we'll known champion
of temperance, who, taking upon him :
self the position of spokesman for the
toiler, denounced the bishops asser-
tion in no measured terms.
1t certainly seems to US that Father
Doyle's language was justified. The
argument that liquor saloons are q
''social necessity" TO the poor man. or
indeed, to anyone, is too precious to
hold water. At any rate, in this coun-
try there is but little of the ''poor
mans club pertaining to them. OF
tended to convey by his words was that
the workingman when he needed re-
creation had no resort answering in pur-
pose to the rich mans club. But 1t must
be confessed that in declaring the liquor
saloon to be to the poor man what his
club is to the rich man. he displays 9
deplorable lack of knowledge of the
manner in which the vendors of intoxi-
cants manage their business. At its
best the liquor saloon is but a sorry
makeshift when recreation is the OBJ
ject, and the instruction a workingman
is likely to gain in it Is scarcely cal
culated to elevate or improve his mind.
So long as he has money and will spend
it with alacrity his company is well
come, but when his pockets are empty
his society ia no longer
regarded with favor by
the proprietor. AS the New York Sun
aptly puts the case, the saloonkeeper is
not man of sentiment, but keeps his
eve on the main chance. This being
80, the question must be faced as it
really is and not judged from an optim-
istic point of view. The truth is that
the liquor saloon in America is not a
''poor mans club, " place in which he
can give his "recreative instincts'' fair
play, but simply and solely house for
the sale of strong drinks at a large
profit to the proprietor
If the liquor saloon does satisfy the
workingman's- ''recreative INSTINCT"
all we can say is that if he does not
possess the bibulous instinct we are
8 ,rry for the intelligence of the work.

usually great, very few animals have

that alcohol does no good to healthy

should be judged on its merits, and
that the ignorant and careless should

been tried, but that these have been

countries binding measures strictly to
control the sale of intoxicants are
wholly at variance with the sentiments
of the Inhabitants. These laws are
there regarded as an encrOachmeut

view that habitual drunkenness is
disease and should be treated as such is
the one most generally held in these
days. Dr.: Norman Kerr, the best
ter, says: IDEAL with the inebri-

with the maniac. Frown
not on him as q hardened criminal.
Remember he has fallen by the power
of q physical agency which has crush

most gifted. Treat him as patient
labo-ing under battling and inveter-
ate disease and amid many discourage
ments. Such q measure of success will
follow your true curative treatment
as will gladden. your hearts as men,
while it will attest your skill as ply

Following in these lines an in
ebriates act was passed by the British
parliament, and came into force on
January OF this year. Criminal habit

grave offense, are placed in state in

ards whoo commit some petty ofeuse

the case of the former class, treated as
felons, but merely undergo curative
treatment. Both the state inebriate
refOrmatories and the Ger
tilted inebriate reformatories will be
maintained at the expense of the state
or the local authorities. This expert

Medical Opinion on Liquor Saloons
And Their Influence on Society.

At the present time. says the Medic
al Record, owing to a discussion be-
tween several prominent divines with
regard to the desirability of liquor sa-
looms from the workingmen' outlook,
the question may be said to be dec1d-
eddy on the flow. The wordy tilt at
arms originated from some
anparentlv incautious phrases
used by Bishop Potter in describing
the said saloons when speaking at the
Waldorf-Astoria few days ago. The
bishop proclaimed as his opinion that
to the workingmsn the liquor saloon is
q "social" necessity, and went on to
