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 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
her, part so well that no one thought
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 NemmeTs
ranch on DEVILS river, west of San
Angelo, for a 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
neighbor 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 a 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 air his
dealings got a 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

Rollins was unhappy. He had plans
ior selling out and going away to the
land from which he came. Not long
ago he went to Del Rio. Passing along
the street Johnnie saw a well-dressed
stranger, who seemed to be dying slow
ly of consumption. The invalid was
leaning on the arm of a woman. John
ME followed them to the hotel and
then went to his own room, to which
several trunks, which had arrived from
the north, had been sent. No one
knows how the Transformation came
about, but at dinner beautiful wom-
an entered the dining-room, glanced
toward where the invalid and wife
were seated, and the next moment
there was a commotion. The invalid
had turned to see who the newcomer
was, and then, arising hastily, his pal
lid face becoming ashy, fell to the floor
in faint His wife screamed. the
other guests focked about to assist in
restoring the sick man, and during the
commotion the handsome woman re-
tired to her room. When the sick man
revived and was asked what had
caused his sudden faintness he in
quired if the handsome woman he had
seen was not Johnnie Rollins. He was
told that Johnnie Rollins was a rich
man and the goat king Of Mexico, but
Johnnie Rollins was not a woman.
Johnnie Rollins was the girl l was
once engaged to marry" said the sick
man. THAT was Johnnie Rollins
saw enter the dining-room. Johnnie
was the name she was always known
by" That evening the handsomely
dressed young woman who had caused
the excitement called few friends to
her room and told the story of her life.
The man who was dying in another
part of the hotel, she said, was the
man who more than seven years be-
/ fore had Tilted her Miss Rollins said
/ that her sole ambition had been to be-
come rich and return to the north and
shame the man who had Tilted her be-
cause she was poor and because a girl
with money was willing to accept him.
When asked about her plans for the
/ future Miss Rollins said: AFTER l get

AS a result of the changeable eli
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal dis
eases known to man. Nearly one
third of the people of the United
States are afflicted with catarrh in
some of its many phases and stages.
Add to this the TACT that catarrh rap
idly tends to become fixed or chronic,
also the further fact that it is ca
pable of producing a great many
other diseases, and we begin to real
ize the true nature of this dread dis
ease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any
size numerous doctors are to be
found who make the treatment of ca :
tarrh a speciality OF course a great
deal of good is accomplished in this
way, but as yet a comparatively
small number of the people can avail
themselves of this treatment be-
cause of the great expense necessa-
rily attached to it.

From Russia come the details of one
OF the queerest cases of installing life
for death. Serious as the consequences
OF the error promised to be the story
is not without its humorous side. An
elderly Jew of drunken habits, living
in Taganrog, fell i'll and to all appear
ances died. After he had been placed
on specially prepared boards to be
washed in accordance with the Gus
toms OF the Jewish religion he sud
denly moved and sat up. Consterna-
ton seized the watchers and the old
man himself nearly died with fright at
finding himself stripped Of his cloth
ing and surrounded by lighted candles.
But he soon gathered his scattered wits
and began to shrek at the persons
who were making preparations for his
finish. "CouIun't you see that l was
drunk" he shouted. IF you are going
TO bury all the drunkards there VIII
be few people left on the face of the
earth" And having thus relieved his
feelings he got up and began to dress

Flow Nations
Agree

All of Uncle Sans bargains with
foreign governments are put into writ
ing by both parties to the agreement,
our state department writing out a
document to be sent abroad, while the
car, the shah or the other party to
the transaction writes his version and
sends it to Washington. These docu-
ments take a good deal of character
from the nation issuing them, and the
state department library holds many
a curious manuscript.
For his part Uncle Sam is content to
be plain and democratic in such mat
tiers. According to a writer in the Phil
adelphia Times. no attempt is made to
elaborate copies of the treaties which
he sends to other countries. There are
one or two clerks in the department
who do very neat penwork, and they
copy the treaties on to a very heavy
quality of white paper known as Urea
ty paper" Sometimes they make an
artistic initial or a decorative title,
but usually they keep to clean, read
able lettering. The document is writ
ten on both sides of the paper, and
around each page is drawn a double
border of plain black and red lines. A
cover is made of the same paper, and
the whole is bound at the side with
silk ribbon. The great seal of state is
not stamped in silver, as are some of
the foreign seals, nor even in wax, but
is impressed on the last leaf of the
treaty itself. The entire affair is not
nearly so elaborate as one of the laws
passed by congress, engrossed on
parchment and sent to the president
for his signature.
Some of the treaties received in ex-
change for these simple documents,
however, are both curious and valu-

able. Sweden's copy of the extradition
treaty of 1899 is printed on parch-
ment and bound in purple velvet and
watered silk. The seal of state, which
covers two cords of gold and silver; red
and blue, is inelosed in a silver case,
upon which the Swedish coat of arms
is worked in gold relief A box of pol
ished white birch with brass clasps is
the outer covering of the whole. 1t is
said that the copy which Uncle Sam
sent in return was worth not more
than rs cents. His treaties are writ
ten in English. while those that come
to him are usually in two languages
sometimes in three. French is becom-
ing less used as the language of dipIo-
macy.
A Chinese treaty which is in the IL
brary was the most ornate Of its treas
ures before the Swedish treaty arrived.
1t is printed in Chinese characters
upon thin yellow paper mounted on a
background of linen. The singular
sheet upon which these characters are
printed is six feet long and rolls up
into a scroll. 1t has a border of dra-
CONS beautifully drawn in ink, and is
inclosed in a cylinder of yellow silk,
lined with silk of rich old gold color.
This last is embroidered in many col
ored designs, the dragon being most
prominent China has furnished Uncle
Sam with some very artistic treaties.
The celebrated Burlingame treaty Of
1908 was a book contained in a rare
lacquered box literally sprinkled with
spots of gold. The leaves of this docu-
ment were also embellished with gold
by a process unknown to American
craftsmen. While American gold can
be rubbed off the paper with the finger,
the Chinese writing is permanent.
