700 HEN the chairman of the Pro-
WNW gram Committee of our club
invited me to write a paper
for one of the literary afternoons it
was a very easy matter to say yes"
The subject-"The Rise and Fall Of
rstition"-interested me. and 1t
was a pleasure to treat it from my
own point of view. But when l re-
ceived the club book for the new year
and saw the subject for the 18th Of
November with my own name In fat
black letters as the essayist, when
realized that was to read the produc-
ton not only before the members of
the club, but I'm the. presence of visit
ors from various parts of the world,
my very soul began to quake with fear
and bitterly did l repent me of my
easy yielding to persuasion. had ap-
peared before the public many times
in print, but never in person where
was the chief attraction, excepting
upon two occasions, one of them when
l read q sentimental commencement
address In quavering voice and the
other when l walked up the aisle TO
the tune of a certain march from Lob
engrin.
So far l had made but one acquaint-
ance in the fashionable apartment
building which was our home at the
time of which 1 write. But Mrs. Her

thought, with disgust, as l hung up
the receiver.
The afternoon mail brought letter
from my husband, which made me
wonder If were going mad. you
know it by this time of course" he
wrote, land l know that you have a
choice rod in pickle for me. You see,
l left in such a hurry. Usually, you
know, l am not bad fellow at re-
membering things, but 1 laid your es-
say on the hall table and never
thought Of it again until five minutes
ago"
His letter dropped from my hand as
l rushed to the hall. There on the
table lay my manuscript, where he
had left it. Then it had not been read
at the club, which was the cause of
all this joking. But the daily papers
declared that it had been read, and
more than one of them had given a
synopsis of it. What was the expla-
nation of this mysteryf Could it be
that my otherself, the fetch and ghost
of me, had read the paper and, judg-
ing from the commendatory remarks
of my friends, had acquitted itself
better than my corporal self could
have done? An examination of the
gown. however showed a tiny rent

If you will look carefully at the pic
lures drawn by the hosts Of artists
who initiate both Gibson and Christy
YOU will be vastly surprised at the
thin line of demarcation between the
" ork of the successful social cartoon
list upon whom the world showers fame
the while pouring riches into his lap
and the work OF the illustrator, who.
striving Just as hard. succeeds only IN
obtaining a fair income.
Indeed, Il would be quite Impossible
to describe the difference so that the
lay mind could understand IL, and
there is many lay eye that cannot
possibly see It. In some instances. no
doubt. the artistic advantage IS on the
side of the artist of lesser financial
success, and this is freely agreed TO
by Mr.. Christy at least. He has been
known to admit that the best art and
his pictures sometimes quarrel But
he also admits, he is drawing them Tor
the money they will bring and ts not
likely to change his style Of picture so

what was the trouble between him

forgotten, if it ever knew, but what
ever it was it broke the cartoonist's

| STOCK NEWS y
Decreased slieep Shipments.

DR.. W. NJ. Mcclellan, U. S..
stock Inspector, left for Fort
Worth Friday. DR.. Mcclellan
has been in San Angelo for the
last three months. Before leav-
lug Friday he obligingly gave the
Press some figures as TO the ship
ments Of sheep from this station.
They are as follows: 1862 cars of
sheep, aggregating 43,GG3 head
were shipped from this district
over the Santa Fee during 1904.
1i3 cars, 370lG head, were
shipped from San Angelo alone.
This shows a decrease in Santa
Fe shlpments of about $4,000
head, a very large per centage.
DR.. Mcclellan attributes this de-
crease to the fact that the lower
range country has suffered from
drought and many sheepmen
have shipped their stuff over the
Southern Pacific.
He also says that he has found
no scab on sheep Inspected. lie
believes that the sheepmen have
finally eradicatod the disease If
this be true, it should be very
gratifying TO the sheep people, as
1t very forcibly demonstrates
their ability TO cope with any
difficulty.
DR.. Mcclellan also says that on
account of poor range conditions
IN the early spring many stock
men found their muttons too
poor for spring shipment and an
ticipates a steady sheep shipping
business during the summer with
o good fall business in this line.
DR.. Mcclellan will spend a greater
portion of the summer in Ft.
Worth and will go to St, Louis u
bit later probably visiting his old
home in Long Island, N. Y, be-
fore returning to Texas.
