Do You Walk Straight.
2m the New York TImes.

frOm the NeW I OfK Times.
 Have you ever noticed how few people walk straight?" said the man who finds fault. T am not speaking in a spiritual sense, neither do I refer to their gait which Is certainly bad enough; but to the crookedness of their path. A straight road is not at all times possible, I admit, and when the streets are most crowded q fellow is excusabie for darting around any old way but when given clear side walk I can't for the life of me see why he cannot walk straight.
 Watch any man-and women are just as bad-who starts out from home at an hour when other people in the heighbor- hood are busy on their own doorsteps and give him a clean sweep. Since there are no obstruetions in the way. there Is no reason on earth why he should not proceed in a straight line to the nearest corner, but instead of pursuing that un- deviating course he zigzags most suspi- ciously. Now he is perllously near the curb now brushing against the area rail- ing, while occasionally he evens things up by taking a few steps In the middle of the pavement The people who thus wa yer in their gait are perfectly sober. and would be surprised if anybody should show them diagram of their tracks. Naturally ali that veering and tacking appreciably increases the distance trav- eled, which Is another reason why peo- pie in hurry should learn to walk straight

of little less than seventy-five miles, and that she could accomplish such a feat. even by changing horses several times, and taking advantage of short cuts, cer- tainly argues that she must possess nerves of steel as well as tireless en- ergy.
 The majority of Miss Bonnivais em- ployes are Mexicans She Is chaperoned by an elderly, refined and educated Amer ican woman, Mrs Lundy, to whom she is tenderly attached. and to whom she pays the utmost deferenee, always ad- dressing her as Mama Grande."
 Early in Miss Bonnivars career as ranch owner she taught the lawless ele- ment of the border a needed lesson. Mescal smugglers and thieves had been in the habit of cutting her fences and crossing her pastures whenever they pleased The ranch foreman, who was often doubtless misled by the Mexicans who rode with him, could never succeed in catching them, though his vigilence merited better luck. Emboldened by re- peated escapes, the smugglers became more daring. They opened wide gaps in the fences, and cattle and horses passed out on the plains and disappeared.
 Miss Bonnivafs indignation was ipi5Nus obHptGllIh tOlip6lpH DtAWtth some Mexican vaquero on the ranch and the outlaws, shessent to San Antonia for four American cowboys, known to her as brave and trustworthy. They had worked on the ranch at various times and were familiar with the trails and crossings of the Rio Grande. They ar rived the day after several head fo fine saddle horses were missing. among them a Kentucky four-year-old, worth $1.OO0
 Mounted upon her famous white horse 'Moonshine," with a pistol slung to her saddle, Miss Bonnival joined the cow boys. They tried in vain to dissuade her from going. On the trail, they were joined by Rubio, trustworthy Mexican, and the foreman, who had been informed by an Indian lying in the brush that ten smugglers had just passed. mounted. armed, and driving packed burros. The Texans reflected that the Rio Grande four miles away was swollen with rains, and the outlaws. therefore, were proba- bly, encamped in a thicket near the pas- ture. Again they urged Miss Bonnival to return.

How to Pack a Trunk.
Washlngton Times.

From the Washington Times.
 There are but two things necessary for faultless trunk packing-time and tissue paper. It is absolutely necessary to take the time to sort out and fold clothers your trunk, then to fill every crushable sleeve or puff or fold with tissue paper. Pack your skirts, pettcoats' lingerie, ana negligees In the special trays, unless you are willing to bother with a hat box which is much better.
 Fold a skirt with the side seams folded lengthwise, leaving the front gore fiat, until 1t is just the width of the trunk; then place 1t full length of the trunk, folding the top over and fitting in roll of paper In the fold. Never fold skirt three or four times and put it haphazard in any part of the trunk, or 1t Is bound to be ruined.
 All fancy waists should be hooked to- gether stuffed with paper and the stuffed sleeves laid close to the sides. Place the waists lightly in a commodious tray, and with long pins pin tight in the tray.
 Shirt waists are not stuffed with paper but are laid fiat In the tray. If they are of light material, a little paper may be placed under the fronts to keep them from sagging Hat trimmings are puffed out with paper. the crown is stuffed full of paper, and the hat pinned in the tray. It is a great mistake to stuff out hat and waists with heavy wearing apparel It only does injury by additional crushing.
 Do not pack books and little boxes in with clothes. Fill the corners of the trunk with stockings and any small piece of lingerie and put books and boxes in a shawl-strap. and all toilet articles in a handbag.

Seeing Things as They Arc.
he New York Times

From the New York Times.
 A dull boy came to the Adelphi Art school in Brooklyn. His train of thought was so peculiar that Professor John Whitaker, who for more than quarter of century has been engaged in devei- oping Brooklynites to be artistic, gave up all hope with that boy.
 Did you ever see a mans foot with six toes7 said Professor Whitaker, irritably glancing at the drawing baord on which the young man had been trying to draw a foot.
 Don't know as I dld,' drawled the boy.
 Then why do you draw that foot with six toes?" said the professor, more irri- tatted than ever.
 ''Because your old cast of foot has six toes" said the boy An examination proved this to be fact
 That boy Is a successful artist now, said Professor Whitaker, and his sue cess in life came from drawing just what he saw. If l could get boys who would draw six toes on foot If six toes showed on the cast I would turn out more art fate

From the Washington Times.
 Just one girl but she controls the big gest cattle ranch in southern Texas; she has a clever business head on her pretty shoulders; she does mans work daily in her own charmingly feminine way, and she would rather round up herd of stampeded steers on gritty mustang than make a tour of Europe.
 Just one girl-but she has tackled a big cipher to the value of the property that her father bequeathed her four years ago, and placed herself in the millionaire rank of American heiresses; she employs more than a hundred people, who live well and happily on her estates, and she can as easily lead a raid against bunch of mescal smugglers when they cut into her seventy-five mile of fence wire as any other American girl would lead cotillon.
 If you have never heard of Caroline Bonnival, 1t is because southern Texas Is so far away that Las Floritas hacienda and it's fair mistress live In a world prac- tically apart. And pretty Miss Bonnival has not the slightest intention of quitting mountain and meadow and splendid TO- moteness to enter your artificial world of pavements and patents, even for flying visit.

 Las Floritas is located in Zapata coun- ty. along the Rio Grande. When John BonnivaI, cattle king, died it was sup posed that his motherless daughter would retire to San Antonia or some other city, live in luxury upon the rentals of the ranch, and eventually amuse herself with

 cred During a Busy Day.

Atlanta, July 1.-The convention of the. Baptist Young Peoples Union of America today adopted resolutions com mending the general lines of the work in the past year and recommending renewed efforts for the future; indo.' o.'sing all eff forts of the promotion of missionary in telligence and condemning in emphatic terms the liquor traffic. Sympathy was expressed for the Baptists of Great Brit tain .'in their great struggle to maintain the historical position regarding the re- lation of church and state. and the pres ervation of soul liberty"
 One of the most interesting features of the convention was the "salutation of the flags at the morning session, when a great number of banners were carried in procession around the auditorium by young lady delegates from almost all seo- tons of the country.
 Following this there were responses from representatives of many states, ter ritories and provinces, reeiting the pro- gress of the different branches of the so- ciety's work One of the features was the speech of Samuel D. McKenny of Alton, Ill, responding for his state. MT. Mo- Kenny spoke for union of north and south, and declared that 1t was time for northern people to stop putting Uncle Toms Cabin before the eyes of the chil- dren.
 We have had enough of Uncle Toms Cabin," declared Mir. McISenny and the people of the north should not give 1t to their children to read, engendering hard feeling and bitterness. We need to cease giving ear to the prattle against the south and to unite in praising the name of Lincoln and Lee; of Grant and Jack son.
 Other speakers at today's session were the Rev. Dr. A. Bourne of Gloversville, N Y; the Rev. Henry A. Porter of Ce- dar Rapids, Iowa; the Rev. F. Pendleton Jones of Owensboro, Ky, and the Rev. M. J. Breaker of St. Louis Mo.

GREAT WESTERN RANCH
 OWNED BY A YOUNG GIRL

society teas and kindred diversions But the spirited girl, though for a time over come by grief. surprised her friends by declaring that a life of idleness would be a reproach to her fathers memory and example. She was thoroughly famil- far with the management of the property, having been her fathers constant com panion and his bookkeeper. Las F'loritas was her birthplace. She had even given the ranch its name. Excepting three years at Hardin college in Missouri, she had known no other life than the free, untrammeled one which she dearly loved. She was proud of her father, whose wis dom and valor had won high honors in the field and at the court of Macmillan in Mexico.
 T will stay here all my life" she an- nounced quietly, but firmly. Then she settled down to hard work.
 Miss Bonnival now owns 20000 head of cattle and 2,0OO head of horses and mules. Fences have been repaired, new pasture lands inclosed, and numerous strong brightly colored gates supplied. Addi- tions have been made to the house, and it has been refurnished in a style that displays the taste of a thoughtful girl who has read a great deal, though Nher opportunities for seeing costly things and enjoying luxury have been limited.
 If there is a new line of wire fence to be constructed, she rides with the fore man over the ground. When bridges or tanks have to be made, she superintends the work. In all weather sine rides with her little army of vaqueros when there is a roundup or herds have to be moved.
 When smugglers cut fences or cattle thieves make a raid into her pastures she sings a Winchester to her saddle and leads upon the trail in pursuit of the outlaws. Though the great ranch has a river front of thirty miles, and Is from ten to twenty miles in width, she has been known to gallop with an armed body of fence riders and make tour of the whole outside line of wire fence in a single day. This necessitates a jaunt
