fiercest tribes of the Southwest, as the only wife of great chief, is one of the romantic stories of the early days in Texas.
 At the beginning of the struggles of the young Republic of Texas, just after she had won recognition from the civil ized world as a separate Government, theremoved, in 1887, from the east Tex as pineries to the prairie country, into what is now Limestone country a fam fly which had already become noted for ability in the work of heWing out a livehood in that section. This family was that of Capt. George Parker and his brother Benjamin, The section to which they moved was then on the frontier, but was destined to be settled rapidly and to become the seat of one of the first institutions of higher learn ing in the young republic,
 Because of periodic depredations by the wild and bloodthirsty Comanches, who were the last tribe of the South west to make terms of peace with the whites, Capt. Parker erected a strong stockade into which the little settle ment would gather at the signal of danger.
 One night in the early autumn of 1S37 while scurring Gulf clouds ob- scured the full moon, suddenly, without warning and before the signal could be given, the Comanches swooped down upon the little settlement. It was fierce struggle, but not for long, as the

lenge and stubborn fight, be it COW, horse, mule, dog or man.
 At the end of the year these cocks, sometimes spread over a territory twenty miles in circumference, are gathered in and cooped up, prepara- tory to testing. The fancier holds little mains for his own and his friends amusement, and in this way finds out what qualities the cocks possess, A fight means death to one bird, and in consequence there is a thinning out
 Sometimes when two birds of excep- tional worth are qut together they are separated after they have demon- strated their good qualities, because they are too valuable to be sacrificed. The best birds are then shipped to va- rious parts of the country to take part in big fights.
 A main, or cockhght, is an interesting affair A couple of men, for instance, fight twenty birds for a purse of $2O0, $500 or $500, with s1O, $2O or $50 on each fight. If one man wins eleven fights, he gets the purse, plus the amount on each fight he wins, and the loser gets the money for the fights he wins. This him to pay expenses.
 Large sums of money are also put up on the result of the main, or on each separate ght, by the company assem- bled, Sometimes the fancier's friends come with him and back his birds to their last cent, but generally the money Is placed by men on birds they fancy, and which their educated Judgment tells them will win
 The preparation of bame cock for the pit, usually a ring filled with tan bark to prevent the birds from injur- ing themselves when they fall is nearly as elaborate as that of prizefghter. First, the cocks natural spurs are cut down to short stump, perhaps half an inch long, chamois strips are wound around this and about the leg, and over this the gaff, or steel spur, is fitted and tied on securely.
 Next, the wings and tail are crop ped short, the former for the purpose of making them hit harder and the latter probably because it makes the bird look fierce The hackle feathers are then cropped and the soft downy feathers of the breast are cut close to keep the bird cool
 The cocks are, held together for a minute, and then dropped on the bark and in a few minutes there is blur of feathers. The fight may last five seconds or an hour, but twenty minutes is a good average.
 When the birds get hung together,

RAISING GAME CHICKENS.
Secret Handed Down bv Generations

Secret Handed Down by Generations of
 Breeders in the South.
 The raising of game chickens for the poultry show and for the pit are two distinctly different industries. The for mer requires only 0 good knowledge of poultry breeding, while the latter in- wolves as well a number of finer points which are known only to few who have been long and closely connected with the work
 These secrets have in many cases been handed down from generation to generation, carefully guarded. Every breeder of game chickens in the South feels that the success of his birds Is largely dependent upon these secrets, and they are without doubt largely re- sponsible for the success of birds raised by Southern breeders. A few facts concerning game birds and their rais- ing for the pit, secured from a Virginia planter, will be of general interest.
 This gentleman says his ancestors brought their original stock of game chickens to this country, and their de- scendants have been raising them ever since He is confident that this parti- cular strain of birds can hold their own with the best the country affords. This is not all idle talk, for his birds have won fights in the principal cities of the country
 First of all. the birds have been raised only for fighting purposes, and then yaat, fer wear If "a refr1 hrnad ip Q and selection has developed qualities which could be secured in no other way. Birds are raised only from winners and sisters of winners.
 The chickens are kept together from the time they are matched in the spring until the young cockerels, or stags, be- gin to manifest fighting procllvities. That comes in the fall.
 They are then separated and each stag is placed on walk. That means that a farmer or negro is paid to take the cock and keep him on his farm, with not more than six hens in such a place that he will not come in contact with any other cock for year.
 One might think the bird should be fighting all that time to develop his mettle, but careful study has shown that this Is not the case. During the year the bird sees no other cocks; he is absolutely king of the realm in which he rules, and he realizes it.
 He grows in stature, dignity and cour- age. In a few months nothing can en- croach on his territory without 'chal-

SHE HAD BEEN CONVINCED.


 At the reception which followed a convention of Sons and Daughters of the Revolution on handsome young woman was especially observed. She was not only beautiful, but she bore herself with great dignity Surely she must come of unusually distinguished lineage, reflected the young man from the West. Having obtained an intro- duction to her, he could not resist the temptation to ask some questions.
 ''Your Revolutionary family record" :" he said, tentatively, is a remarkable one, I suppose?"
 'Yes, 1t is" she replied promptly. My great at-great-great-gran a Massachusetts farmer sent his six sons to Bunker Hill, all private soldiersl"
 While the young man was looking at her, somewhat surprised, she glanced cautiously around, as if fearful of be- ing overheard.

 In many eases the training of birds is elaborate. The birds are dieted and exercised to tougher them for the con- test. Two birds are often put togeth- CT, riged out with muffs or miniature boxing gloves for this purpose. They are exercised by tossing them up and down on a padded table.
