and important subjects to consider, but the
young officer forced the departments hand.
II there were too few officers for duty to
let one Of them have a short leave he could
increase the dearth by resignng, and re-
sign he did. Then the department, face to
face with this aggravated condition, yielded
gracefully and on the officers acceptance
of the shortest possible leave promised to
let him go to get married So he withdrew
his resignation. The wedding has not taken
place yet, but when it does occur It will
be naval AFFAIR and no civilian.

He wants it made on the Concho
tree, to be ready by Xmas. am
sure that he will like it tor he

it. Very truly yours,
CLAY MoGoNAGILL.
Joe Gardner, Bert Weir and
Jimmie Barron also recommend
the Concho Saddle as the best for
stockmen.
Clay McGonagill holds the
worlds championship for roping.
Ellison Carroll won the $1,000
purse at the San Antonio Fair in
the roping contest and the three
other gentlemen mentioned are
among the best professional rope
twirlers. All are experienced
riders and thoroughly familiar
with the good points of a fine
saddle. A recommendation from
them is worth reading.
This famous Concho Saddle is
made by Henry Hagelstein and is
winning reputation not only in
Texas, but also in all the West.

gives a man more than he needs. If he
elects to live lazy life she lets his
muscles get fiabby and his brain go
sleepy. She never permits him to long

enough to know how to work. A man
must also know how to rest. The man

way. No man can do his best work un-
less he alternates it with n little play

ANCIENT COFFEE.

The Way the beverage WIS breWeu
In the seventeenth Century.
There are in existence in Great
Britain a few copies of an ancient
cookbook, published in 1862, that gives
what Is perhaps the first English recipe
for coffee. The recipe reads:
ITO make the drink that is now much
used, called coffee.
"The coffee berries are to be bought
at any Druggist. about seven shillings
the pound Take what quantity you
please, and over a charcoal fire, in an
old frying pan, keep them always stir
ring until they be quite black, and
when you crack one with your teeth
that 1t is black within as 1t Is without,
yet If you exceed, then do you waste
the Oyl, and if less, then will 1t not de-,
liver its OyI; and If you should con.
tinue fire till 1t be white, it will then
make no coffee, but only give you its
salt. Beat and force through lawn
sieve
Take clear water, and boil one third
of 1t away, and it is fit for use. Take.
one quart of this prepared water, put
In it one ounce of your prepared coffee,
and boil 1t gently one hour, and 1t Is tit
for your use; drink one-quarter OF
pint as hot ms you can sip II. 1t doth

Acrimony, which is the gender of the
Diseases called Cronical."
