being a reply to one he sent yester-
day asking about the range condi-
tions. Mr.. Pierce has ABOUT fifteen
hundred head of cattle on his ranch
in Lubbock county. He stated to-
day that while the grass was cover
ed with snow there was plenty OF
feed on his ranch to keep the cattle
in good condition during the cold
weather.

POWER BOATS.

Very often the comment is heard,
apropos motor boats built for racing:
What good are they? None; they're
freaks"
This sweeping statement regarding
the uses Of the fast motor boat now
appears to be open to amendment, even
at the hands of the person who does
not indorse the speed boat, as it is
amply shown that the high speed boat
has proved of the greatest value eco
nomfca1ly, on account of its demonstra-
ton of the capacities and possibilities
of the combustion motor.
Nearly all motor boats, built to attain
extreme speed, are owned by wealthy
amateurs or manufacturers anxious to
prove the merits of their motors.
The amateurs are enthusiasts, and as
rule they can afford to be. Mankind
blessed with less of the worlds goods
than they is getting the benefit of their
labors. The wise man accepts all that
is proved by the amateur and lets it
cost himself nothing. Therefore, we
may say, long live the amateur with
money to burn in the form of gasoline.

No Gymnasium Necessary.
Contrary to an impression prevailing
in many quarters, 1t is not necessary to
attend a physical culture school or
gymnasium in order to obtain the
amount of exercise requisite for the
preservation of health and the develop
ment of muscle fiber. Every man, wo-
man and child has within easy reach
adequate means for becoming a per-
feet specimen of the human race. In
tricate and expensive apparatus is not
needed. The performing of certain

It seems almost Incredible, but 1t is
nevertheless true, that nine out of
every ten American mothers fail to
teach their boys and girls how to walk
They attain maturity oftentimes with
concave chests, crowding the lungs;
with bent shoulders, one frequently
higher than the other, and curved
spines. This abnormal potse is hard to
correct and usually requires severe
surgical treatment.
The normal carriage OF the body
places the spine on a straight line with
the head and neck. The chest is held
high, and the shoulder blades rest fiat
against the back. This poise is natural
among children under two and half
years old. but is often lost between
that age and f1ve.~

An Important Point.

One great evil attendant on school
games which parents everywhere
should strive to overcome is the habit
many boys have of entering into pas
times with friends considerably older
and harder than themselves. Boys
should restrain their ambitions and
keep within their own class. Many a
bright little fellow has had his back
and shoulders injured for life by "giv-
ing a back during a game of leapfrog
to a playmate twenty or thirty pounds
too heavy for him to bear.
Boys and girls alike are very proud
to be seen playing in company with
the older ones, but when the habit goes
unchecked they seldom fail to return
home in the evening in thoroughly
exhausted and half fainting state.
Children more than six years old
should rise not later than 1880 o'clock
in the morning and should go to bed at
hours may, of course. be varied ac-
cording to circumstances. When the
boy or girl has had an exceptionally
trying day o'clock is about the proper
time for retiring. The early rising GUS
tom is one of the best things magma

persevered in the habit will cling to
them through life, and a cheerful, at
tractive, energetic personality will be
the result. People who leave their
beds early seldom have need for ar
tifcial stimulation. School children
should get at least ten hours sleep

BASEBALL CAPTAINS. 4.

At one of the recent annual meetings
of the National league a resolution
was introduced which prohibited ap-

manager or field captain of team.
The resolution was voted down be-
cause some of the magnates were al
ready provided with managers who
played in the garden. But the resolu-
ton has not died. On the contrary,
it has set the leaders of the older
league thinking, and it is predicted in

run upstairs is particularly to be frown-
ed on, for the practice is sure to have
a weakening effect on the heart. To
ascend properly, go from step to step
on the balls of the feet. Do not allow
the heels to come in contact with the
step and rise on the toes of the lower
foot just before bringing it forward and
upward. This will place a slight strain
on the muscles of the calf, aiding ma
terially in their development. Do not
make use of the baluster unless cir
cumstances render it necessary. When
going downstairs touch on the balls of
the feet as in ascending, bending the
knees directly to the front. Turning
them to either side gives person an
awkward appearance.

When ncr;ffn Was an Amateur.

Clark Griffith tells an amusing story
of an experience in California more
than a decade ago.
1T was in 1898, think says "Griff, -
that a series of games for the anna
teur championship of California was
arranged between the teams of two
rival towns.
1.-The manager of one team sent to
me and said that he wanted to ring
ire in, together with. two other pro-
fessionals. I agreed to play and decided
to bet a Few dollars on the game.
"Just before the game was called I
thought it would be good idea to look
over the members Of the opposing
