Texas Farm and Ranch Ideal Farmer

CAdS TdtH auu NdH1H hdCdt EdAHCis
 The differance between tn leader of an orchestra and the man who plays second fiddle, is that the one loves his business and the other only his weekly stipend; one works for fame and the other for bread. The man who saws cat gut, or saws wood, and is not in love with his business never rises above the condition of common la borer Enthusiasm is necessary to success in every field of effort, No man can become an ideal farmer who does not love farming and especially his own farm. It is not necessary that a woman be both beautiful and rich to inspire love in the heart of her hus- band The same may be truthfullY said of the ties that exist between the farm and the farmer Watever it's physical features, it can be made love ly in the eye of him whom it nourishes and shelters; and it is equally true that when love does not exist there will be neglect and dissatisfac- tion, whether between man and wife or between farm and farmer. Money makes the mare go. bnt it is pride of possession. and the natural affection that should exist between man and his faithful servant, that keeps the mare fat and sleek, and enables her to con tinue gong.
 To be proprietor of piece of Gods earth large enough to feed and comfort family, and large enough to afford free air and wholesome exercise to all the living creatures it nourishes, is a thing to be proud of. If it is not adorned with natural beauty, adorn it. If the soil is not naturally fertile, gen. erously fertillze it. One of the most lovable women the writer ever knew, wore red hair and four hundred freck- les Culture and conscience had made ornaments of what in others were biemishes. A farmer who loves his farm home will make 1t beautiful, though located on plney woods hill- slde
 But love of home and farm is not sufficient to make an ideal farmer He must have enthusiasm, No man ever achieved distinction in any calling without enthusiasm. The farmer who hurries home from the country festival that he may see if his seeds are coming up. to see how much this crop or that one has grown; who loves to exhibit to admiring friends the beauty ano graceful movements of his favorite colt; who talks respectfully to and ca resses his milch COW; who arises in tn, morning before the growing of tho cock that he may work upon his plan: for improving his estate, may be de pended upon to become an ideal farm CT. He will find no time to whittle oi goods boxes, and little for the discus sion of current politics with the ware heelers of his market town. His hear is where his treasures are, and hi
 farm and family being his treasures there his interest centers and thithe
 will be taken up and fully occupie
 with work and plans for the improve
 ment of his farm and the comfort o
 himself and family, and domestic ami
 mals Love of home is one of tn
 noblest instincts of humanity. To

Some Queer Pictures of His Table
Manners in Childhood.

Manners in Childhood.
Paris Correspondence of the Pail Mall
Gazette.
A volume dealing with the private life
and mode of existence of Nicholas II has
been issued to-day in Paris. The author
is NJ. Maurice Leudet, a distinguished
member of the staff of the Figaro, who
some time back published a successful
book dealing on similar lines with the
German Emperor.
Nicholas II Intime," as the present
work is called, is a quite unpretentious
production. With the exception of the
preface, which discusses the disarmament
proposals, and one or two chapters de-
voted to the present condition and desti-
MES of Russia, its pages are occupied ex-
clusively by minor details relating to the
personality of the Gar and by well-in-
formed and entertaining gossip. The most
varied aspects of the Cars life are touch
ed upon. A chapter is devoted for in
stance, to his education. and a chapter to
his marriage, a chapter to the imperial
stables and another to the imperial table
The court fetes, the grand dukes, the royal
palaces and the Car journey to the East
area few of the many subjects dealt with.
The Car, it appears, has an excellent
memory, ana acquired the numerous IAN
guages he speaks with remarkable ease
and quickuess. M. Leudet assures us that
he talks English without an accent but 1t
is noteworthy that he does not venture TO
say as much with regard to French Mr.
Heath his English master, is credited with
a cordial dislike for Mr.. Gladstone and
pronounced fondness for boxing, but
whether he transmitted these tastes to his
pupil is not recorded. The young princes
were brought up with as little ceremony
as possible. On Sundays they entertained
al dinner the small boys and girls who
were admitted 20 the honor Of their friend
ship. These parties seem to have been ex-
ceedingly lively functions. There was
no end to the tricks the hosts and their
small guests played on one another. From

whlle he was drinking or to baptize him

picture of home life," as M. Ieudet calls
IL, Is proof at any rate that there are vari-
Gus ways of becoming fitted for the most
polte society. Still, 1t must not be sup
posed from this occasional license that the
cars education was neglected He re-
celVed a very strict religious training, and
the impression it made on him may be
gathered from a remark he made on the
occasion OF the death of Victor Hugo. He
knew that the great poet was a Free
thinker, and on reading in a newspaper
an account of his public funeral he said
he could not understand how such honors
could be paid to man who had died like
a dog"
The Car rises at 8, takes tea with the
Empress at 9, and at $3.50 retires 10 his
study to- read the principal European
newspapers. This task accomplished, he
goes out for short walk and at Il Is
ready to receive his ministers and attend
10 his correspondence. After luncheon he
drives out with the Empress, and on his
return shuts himself up in his study
where he is hard at work until s, the i'm
perial dinner hour. The importance OF
this meal is considerable at the Russian
court as may be imagined when IL is said
that over 200 persons are engaged in pre-
pairing and serving 1t. NJ. Leudet, by the
way is able TO give the recipe for Bortsch,
the famous Russian soup, as supplied to
him by the imperial cook himself. In fact
the culinary chapter contains much excel
lent matter including a method of serving
'kilkis." which may be recommended TO
the attention of gourmets

ROBBERS CORNERED.
Three of the Train Dynamiters Will
Probably Be Captured.


Omaha, June A special to the Bee
from Cheyenne, Wyo., says:
Three of the men who dynamlted and
robbed the Union Pacific mail train at
Wilcox station Friday morning have been
located and it is believed will be captured
tonight. Their trail was followed by a
posse under Officer Wheeler of the Union
Pacific detective force from the scene
of the holdup for a distance of 40 miles
across the Laramie plains to point about
% miles south of Glenrock, where it was
lost. This posse and one from Rawlns
reached Casper this morning and got
fresh horses While there a sheep herder
reported having run across the three rob-
bers, who were cooking breakfast in ra-
vine about six miles west Of Casper. One
of the robbers held him up with a Win
chester and ordered him to leave. A posse
was at once formed by the sheriff of Ma
trona and Converse counties and a pur-
suit commenced
They are not more than three hours be-
hind the outlaws whose capture Is be-
lieved to be certain The outlaws wers
evidently heading for the Hole-in-the-
Wall country, rendezvous for despera-
does, about so miles north of Casper. To
reach this refuge they will have to cross
the North Platte river, which Is 50 swoI-
len with flood waters that it can only be
crossed by bridges. All of the bridges are
guarded so that the escape of the fugi-
tives is cut off.

Columbus, Ohio June 4.-The G. A. r.
posts Of Columbus received considerable
notoriety last week on account of refus-
ing to receive a floral tribute from ex-
confederates of the South to place on
union graves. The floral committee
which rejected the emblem have pre-
pared statement explaining the mat
ter The report says:
The committee feels that it Is due
the members of the Grand Army of the
Republic of Columbus that they give
their reasons for refusing the emblem.
The person whose mind originated
that emblem placed us in a false atti-
tude so far as receiving the emblem is
concerned.
The chairman of the committee in
accepting the wreath did so hastily
The design contained the American
flag, supported by an arm clothed in
the confederate gray above an arm
clothed in blue beneath. Many mem

entered their votes against the placing
of the emblem upon the mound in Ian

gressman Payne of Auburn, who is
looked upon as one of Senator Platts S
