All along the Rio Grande the boys
are talking about how the goat king OF
Mexico turned out to be an American
girl. That she managed to conceal her
sex all the years she has been on the
frontier is a marvel Some of the boys
say they suspected her all the while,
but the truth is that for seven years
Johnnie Rollins played his, or rather
she was other than she seemed, relates
the St. Louis Republic. The first ap-
pearance of Johnnie in the southwest
was in 1893, when a slender, under
sized tenderfoot applied at Nemmer's
ranch on DEVILS river, west OF San
Angelo. for job. The boy rode well
and was willing, but was so small and
looked so unequal to the hardships of
a cowcamp that the boss was about to
tell him he had no use for more help
just then, when, seeing the look Of dis
appointment in the youngsters face,
lie asked If he could cook. Yes" said
the boy, but I'd rather ride after the
cattle" Johnnie left the Nemmere
ranch and got job herding goats.
For this he got $40 month. He was
SO faithful that at the end OF the year
his wages were raised. He lived alone
In a cabin out in the mountains, as
wild a region as there is in all the
Devils river district. His nearest
nei8hbor was 10 miles away, but with
his dogs, his goats. and good Winches-
ter he bore his lonely life stolidly and
uncomplainingly. Of all the herders
il. the DEVILS river valley Johnnie was
the most faithful. After a time he got
reputation for courage and honesty
that led one Of the richest stockmen
in west Texas to turn over sew
eral thousand goats to him to
care for and manage on shares. This
was the turning point toward fortune.
Johnnie secured big tract OF grazing
land across the Rio Grande in Mexico,
bought all the goats he could get with
the money at his command. and by ex-
ercising the strictest honesty in all his
dealings got credit with the frontier
banks that was enjoyed by no other
person in similar circumstances along
the Rio Grande. The herd grew and
before Johnnie realized it he had
earned the sobriquet of the Goat King
of Mexico" But all this time Johnnie

Confederate Reunion.

The reunion Of Confederate veterans
which meets in Memphis in the closing
days Of May promises to be the most
successful gathering in the history Of
the Confederate organization. The
railroads entering Memphis are alive
to the situation and have promised to
do everything possible looking toward
the comfort and pleasure Of the old
soldiers and their friends. Every
courtesy will be extended the local
committees in meeting incoming trains
80 that the thousands Of strangers
may be taken In hand and assigned to
their quarters. A special rate of one
cent a mile has been recommended by
the general passenger agents of all
lines interested and it is certain that
the joint passenger association will
authorize the rate.
Fifty thousand dollars will be raised
by the citizens of Memphis so that all
visitors may be assured OF good time.
All of the subscriptions SO far have
been voluntary and one Of the most
notable was that of Robert R. Church,
representative negro citizen, who
contributed a check for 81 900. Church
was born slave in Mississippi, and
after the war removed to Memphis.
where he has since lived He is good
business man and citizen and numbers

sentative business men and financisrs

The effect of strong and continual
sunshine on the features is, 1t seems,

attributes to the fierce Queensland sun
light, which causes one to contract the

to avoid the glare The rest OF the face
