A short time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pie ture. In his hand he held a stick cut from the grave of General Andrew Jack son, which has been carried by him ever since. MT. Brock is dignified old gen. tleman, showing few signs of decrepi> tude. His family Bible is still preserved, and it shows that the date of his birth was written 115 years ago.
 Surely few words from this remarka- ble old gentleman, who has had 115 years of experience to draw from, would be interesting as well as profitable. A lengthy biographical sketch is given of this remarkable old man in the Waco Times-Herald, December 1, 1898 A still more pretentious biography of this, the oldest living man, illustrated with a double column portrait, was given the readers of the Dallas Morning News, dated December II, 1898, and also the Chicago Times-Heralde of same date

BUFFALO IN CATTLE HERD.

ilized Animals.
 An itinerant photographer made q picture about 1876 in what is now Oklahoma that should be preserved by the Okla homa Historical society. A rarer picture cannot be found in Okla homa, says the Kansas City Star. It shows d buffalo that followed a herd of cattle from it's native range in the western part of the territory to the neighborhOod of Darlington. The picture is owned by John H. Seger, of Colony, O. T.
 In 1878 Seger had d ranch where the Cheyenne Indian school now stands at Caddo Springs, sey. eral miles north of Fl Reno. Billy Frass, q cattleman still re- membered by old timers, and now living in the panhandle, brought the COW, a big one, with his herd from the west, and gave her to Seger if the latter could drive her away from the herd, which Frass was positive Seger could not do. Frass' cattle were in the valley on the south side of the North Cana. dian river, near where the Fort Reno pumphouse is located. Sc. ger adopted plan that proved successful. He would drive the COW at full speed till she began turning, when his cowboy would move up and Seger would fall back till she turned again in his di- rectiOn. She was kept running in this zig gag course till the river was reached. An almost perpen- dicular bank was no barrier to her turning back after she had been driven into the water. Seger and his cowboy started her again and all went crashing at breakneck speed through dense growth of underbrush, and over a high bank into the river where the water was churned to a foam, and horses, men and buffalo momen- tarily disappeared from sight. The ducking had q surprising ef- feet on the buffalo, which permit ted herself to be driven 10 the ranch corral without any further trouble. She became the leader of Seger's herd. When a north err began blowing in the winter, she would take the herd to some canyon for shelter, and when the storm abated they would follow her to the open country. Seger gave the cow to Ada Bent, an In dian girl, now Mrs Robert Burns. of Darlington. The COW strayed up the North Canadian and WAS killed by Indians.

RED BANANAS AGAIN.
Have Long Been Scarce---Fast Fruit

Have Long Been Scarce--Fast Fruit
 Steamers Help Trade.
 "Red bananas once more are plentiful in the New York market. and are likely to be so for some time," said a fruit commission merchant to q New York Press re. porter. 'I can remember the time when there were more red bananas than yellow ones, 15 or 20 years ago. Then they got scarce. Six years ago only a few punches came to New York for the Christ. mas trade, and they went to deal. CTS at $75 a bunch, the highest price ever paid here for such fruit.
 ''The red banana was the first to come to this country. Then it was found that the yellow fruit was more easily raised, kept longer and clung better 10 the stalk. This last factor was an i'm p0rtant one, as a great loss comes from bananas dropping from the bunch. More yellows grow on a bunch. For these reasons the red bananas practically disappeared from the markets and only few punches were brought here.
 'The fast fruit steamers have been responsible for lowering the price of bananas. When we had to get our fruit from the sailing vessels we never knew whether we would have enough to supply the market, for the vessels would be delayed by storms and might come i'll with spoiled cargoes. To. day these fruit steamers are as regular as passenger ships, and we know almost to a bunch how much the cargo will amount to-

Miss Rose Hennessy, we'll
 known as a poetess and elocu- tionist, of Lexington, Ky, tells how she was cured of uterine inflammation and ovaritis by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege. table Compound.
 DEAR Mas. PINKHAM For years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that Iwould always do so. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad, and would be suddenly chilled, but did not think of the results. 1 caught bad cold eighteen months ago while menstruating, and this caused infam- nation of the womb and congested ovaries. J suffered excruciating pains and kept getting worse. My attention was called to your Vegetable Com pound and the wonderful cures it had performed, and 1 made up my mind to tpy it for two months. and see what it would do for me. Within one month felt much better, and at the close of the second was entirely we'll.

Mr.. Eddy,s Organ Concert.

Mr.. Clarence Eddy, one of the great or
ganists gave a concert at the Sixteenth
Street Baptist Church last night. The
audience was of fair size and applauded
the player after every number. His pro-
gram was a varied one, including Bach's
Toccata in major, Saint Saen's Fantasia
In D fiat, Claimants Seventh Sonata, Ed
ward Edgars Sursum Corda, transcribed
by Lemare; Faulkes' Toccata. an inter-
mezzo by Alfred Holins, Wolstenholmes
1.-THE Answer and the march and chorus
from Wagners "Tannhauser," transcribed
by Homer N Bartlett. The Guilmant So
nata, the Elgar and the Faulke numbers
were new here, but were well received,
some of the movements Of the sonata be-
ing quite melodic and effective. Perhaps
the most applause was given to the Tam
hauser' march, but that was because 1t
was familiar and it brought out the full
power of the organ. Mr.. Eddy's playing
was a delight, his clear-cut enunciation,
his intelligent phrasing and his complete
command of the stops being admirable.
Mr.. Tom Greene, tenor. sang two songs,
Gounods Come Unto Me" and Graniers
"Hosannah," with fine effect He has
voice of pleasing quality which he handles
with good discretion. As an encore to his
first number he sang a dainty thing called
"Wings of Snow" which gave him an OPP
portunity for some delicate mezzo-voce
work. Mr.. Percy 8. Foster, under whose
auspices the concert given, played
the accomplishments for Mr.. Greene.

Like many of the older vessels in the gov

she Ia engaged in survey work, has quite an
eventful history The little schooner was
built at Key West In 1859, primarily for
wrecker, and was for O year or two en-
ployed In this line OF work 1t Is also stated
that she was employed in smuggling trips
from South American ports about that time.
Her owners at that time finding her too
large for their purposes as she required a
large crew to man her. sold her at the out
break Of the civil war to the quartermas-
ter's department of the army, and in that
service she took part n the stirring scenes
OF warfare on the Atlantic coast. She re-
NAMED In the employ OF the quartermasters

Single Tax Club Listens to Address.
The Washington Single Tax Club met
at the Hutchins building yesterday. An
interesting talk upon the single tax was
given by Mr.. Jackson H. Ralston, which
was followed by an animated discussion.
Mr.. Ralston dwelt largely upon the
functions of taxpayers under the pres
ent system of government.
Illustrations were given of the manner
in which expenditures for streets, for fire
protection and for schools always add to
site value, and not to the value of i'm
provements. From this it was argued
that the land or site value thus enhanced
ought to bear the entire burden of tax
alton.
In reply to a question from the audi
ence Mr.. Ralston gave brief account
of the movement in Hyattsville several
years ago. In which the attempt was
made to assess local taxes against land
values only, exclusive of improvements.
