stations which he was taking to

were both fine looking animals
and o. T. is to be congratulated
on securing them.
Brice Dabney, who has been
looking after some stock interests
at Kaw City, Okla, for the past
several months, arrived here yes
terday and will remain during the
winter. His many friends well
come his return.
Some of the friends of candi-
dates have spoke for passage to
the Salt river boat, conditionally
of course. Better speak up for
the wagon will be loaded. NoLe
but Schleicher county men need
apply. It's going to be an exclu-
sive set,

The Concho Country.

Texas Stockman.JOurnal.
Joe Funk, a we'll known ranch
man who operates in Irion coun-
ty, is In the city enroute home
from st. Louis, where he attended
the Worlds Fair, with Mrs.
Funk. He says the fair is big
thing, but thinks it not much of
an improvement over the one
held at Chicago. Mr.. Funk says
the range conditions down in the
Concho county are unusually
good at this time, plenty of grass
and water and cattle generally III
very satisfactory shape for the
approaching winter. He says cat.
tie are very short i'll that section,
as compared with former years,
and there is scarcely any aged
steers in the country. The calf
crop is generally short this year,
and there has been excessive
marketing on the part of nearly
all the ranchmen In the matter
of prices, Mr.. Funk expresses the
opinion that next year will wit
ness the return of very general
prosperity to the cattle business,
and thinks there will be some i'm
provement this winter. He says
the hope is quite general in his
section of the country that the
next State Legislature will enact
some land legislation that will
result in eradicating some of the
evils of the present system of dis
posing of the land. He says
there is no sense in the State sell
ing their lands lying right along
side of it and at better prices.
He thinks the present land policy
of the State operates TO encour-
age the bonus hunter, when it
should be to stimulate the settle
ment of the country by the bona
fide homeseeker. He says that
many of the purchasers of school
land down in his section of the
country are denuding the land
they have acquired of the little
supply of wood it contains, which
is the only method of making a
livelihood, and when the wood is
all sold they will have to let the
purchase revert to the State
When asked how the cattlemen OF
the Concho country were getting
on with the idea of combining
cattle and sheep raising, Mr..
Funk laughed and said the news
paper reports of the large num-
Der who were engaging in the new
combination was mostly hot air
The cattlemen of the country dc
not take very kindly to the idea
as they are all more or less preju'
diced against sheep, and the idea
that such n combination was
very profitable had been pretty
well exploded.

Don't "chaw the Rag"

Denver Post.
In the battle of life
When your cares as Il knife
Cut deep and are frightened with pain;
When your skies are all black
And before you the track
Is washed by adversity's rain,
Never weaken your grip,
Keep a stiff upper lip
And permit not your courage to nag,
Just keep bullying ahead
Through the gullies instead
OF sitting round chawin' the rag.
Though the lightning may flash
And the thunders may crash
And the tempest in anger may roar,
Every cloud will be rent
When its fury is spent
And the skies be as blue as before.
There Is never a woe
You cannot overthrow,
But you never must loiter or lag,
For you never can hope
70 successfully cope
With your troubles by chawin the rag.
IT'S the will Of the King
That each mortal must swing
The energy sword in the fight
We must struggle and toll
In the midst of turmoil
Till the day breaks the shadows OF
night.
And we surely will miss
The bright goal Of success
OF achievements We will never brag,
Never bask in the sun
OF sweet victories won
II we sit around chawin' the rag.
There is never u height
In the range of the sight
But the feet of ambition can scale,
There is never Il prize
Set to magnet the eyes
But is ours if we hang to the trail.
We can climb every steep,
Every chasm we can leap,
Can surmOunt every hindering crag,
But we never can take
Even a crumb of the cake
With our teeth tangled up in the rag
