Dear Sir:-As / have settled / will
Write to you to correct the mistake

about my not getting any place.
There is no trouble to get land

place of 1880 acres with the privi-
lege of cultiuating as l want.
The early corn is planted and
looks fine Much people so wtheir
oats in the fall. They are looking
well. Cotton is being planted but
they say it Is rather early. They
tell me there is danger in frost.
There has been little frost since
we have been here, but it did not
hurt anything Early cotton is not
as'apt to be attacked by weevil as
late cotton.
Rice is planted all the time from
March till June. 1t is the leading
crop of Harris County. There ere
a great many new rice plants being
put down this spring. -

Why Horses Crib.

Every one who has owned horse
which is constantly gnawing at the
manger and at any bit of wood into
which it can get its teeth, knows
how troublesome the habit is. 1t
Can be broken up, but it will re-
quire considerable time and effort.
The cause of this habit is, in the
majority of cases, due to indiges-
tion or bad teeth, so when a horse
has the habit it should be turned
over to veterinary surgeon to have
its teeth put in ordor. 1t this does
not break up the habit, then treat
the animal for indigestion.
Give the animal dose consist
ing of a mixture of two ounces OF
turpentine and one pint of raw lin
seed oil, and repeat in week. See
that the animal has plenty of exer-
else, and keep lump of rock salt
in It's manger all the time. For
"a while let the ration consist of
brand and corn meal night and
morning. with cut hay as roughage (;
at noon let the ration be of whole
oats with a small allowance Of hay.
Under this Treatment the animal
will show a marked improvement
in short time, and if it is persist
ed in the treatment eventually will
break up the habit of cribbing.

charcoal, and a large well filled
dust box. But the mash, if not
given too literally, is of great ben
eft, The great danger IN mach
feeding is that enough of it is
given so the birds will not scratch
enough to get the needed exercise.
Nothing has been said about the
freedom from lice, as it is always
thought our chicks and our houses
are free from the pests. However,
it is best to use lice exterminators
so as to be sure there are none"

the morning Cookson had forgot
ten his pistol and had no weapon
of any kind, with the exception of
a small pocket knife. Safety could
only be secured by outrunning the
beasts, and that was forlone hope,
as the genuine mountain lion is
noted for his speed and endurance.
However, it afforded the only
chance of escape and he urged the
ponies. Behind them occasional
bowls, gradually growing nearer
and nearer, could be heard, and
when they reached the crest of the
mountain and looked back they
could see the savage beasts scarcely
two hundred yards behind and
gaining upon them with fearful
rapidity.
Realizing that escape for both
was utterly impossible the young
Indian, with a courage and self de-
.votion worthy of Quintius Curtius
or Leonidas at the Pass of Thermo-
pylae, determined TO sacrifice his
life in order to preserve that of his
intended bride, and gradually slow
ing down the team when the level
top of the mountain was gained he
turned to her, who, half dead from
terror, sat motionless and with
white, unspeaking lips by his side,
Gazing sadly and tenderly into her
pallid face, he bent down and kissed
her in silence; then as the descent
on the further side of the mountain
was nearly reached he gently put
the guiding lines into her nerveless
hands, strained her closely to his
bosom for one brief moment, then,
rising to his feet, drew and opened
his pocket knife. Again turning
his eyes backward, he saw that his
pursuers were less than ten yards
behind the buggy.
For one brief moment Teecy re-
members hearing the short, sharp
swapping of fangs. the ferocious,
angry growls of the fierce animals,
and high above all the fierce war
whoop of her lover. Then a merci-
full unconsciousness stole over her
and she tainted. The ponies, re-
leased from guiding hand, took
the road down the mountain at
breakneck speed. while she lay

Porieits Life for Sweetheart.

The awful experience Of Miss
Teecy Pyle, Cherokee belle of
Cogkson, 1. T., while on the way to
the altar with her sweetheart, has
blotted the sunshine out of her life
forever.
Blackie Cookson, her intended
life's partner, was a gallant Cher
okee boy who had followed the
stars and stripes up the missile
swept slope of Guantanamo: fought
with the Rough Riders at La Guas-
ima, where the gallant Fish end
lamented Chapron fell, and was
foremost in the wild charge up the
rugged hillside of San Juan.
Again, in far off Luzon he was
iiooQf for heroic endurance and des-
perste valor, and was finally pro-
moted to sergeant. Blackie Cook
son did his duty to the utmost for
five long years and returned to the
wigwams of his people.
Since the earliest memory of
either he and Teecy had been sweet
hearts. AS children they had
danced together at green corn and
other religious festivals, and list
ened together at night in the wig
vans to tales of valor and stories
of undying love told by the wise
men of the.old tribe.
The red letter date in their lives
was near at hand. In order to have
the ceremony making them man and
wife performed they were obliged
to go to Fort Gibson, which is
thirty-five miles distant. The road
from here to that place. is very
lonely and for a stretch of fifteen
miled over the mountains not even
the wigwam of an Indian relieves
its lonesomeness.
Ashley were ascending the south
ern slope Of the mountain their ears
were startled by the long drawn
laawl ef mountain lien. These
animals are greatly feared in this
portion of the country on account
of their blood-thirsty ferocity and
the untiring pertinacity manifested
in running down their quarry.
They have no fear of man and bold
ly attack him wherever met with.
In the hurry and excitement of

MORE ON TIL CENTRAL. HIGH SCHOOL

school question, which have appeared in

comment from both sides though ~ yet
tue comment has confined Itself 10 phi.

ing among the opponents Of the city
system that the activity wonld probably
b. all On the side of the advocates Of the
system and that consequently the pro
posed change might be brought about
without the public having been properly
informed ~ to both rides Of the qne8
ton This may possibly be the case,
and, if it il, will certainly be unfortun

their case if indeed they have even had

ter what stage the disease is IN or how
long you have had it, you can now be
cured sound and well. The reports that
come from users of this new cure seem
almost incredible but they are true never
theless. One man had Rheumatism for
twenty years and this remedy cured him
in two weeks. Another was in such pain
he could hardly sleep nights. The first
dose relieved his pain and few days
further treatment completely restored
him to health.
A woman who had suffered long from
this most tenacious of all diseases was
induced by friend to try this wonder
full remedy. She, too, got well and never
tires of telling her neighbors of her great
good fortune in finding a permanent re-
lief from what was proving the very
bane of her existence.
As this discovery was only made short
time ago the remedy is entirely new and
acts on a different principle from any
thing you may have previously taken.
Write Doctor j. A. Tomas, Dept. 95t
South Bend, Ind, and describe your
case. State if you have any other dis
ease besides Rheumatism and the doc
tor will prepare what you need and
send it to you by return mail free. The
doctor insists upon knowing something
of your general condition SO he can cure
your other Affections, if you have any,
while he is curing your Rheumatism.
