A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Team of Eight Fine Mules iiitched
County Road Grader, Plunge Into
PIT. One on Top of the Other.

Jno. B. Viano tells THE HERALD
man of a rather serious runaway
which occurred about three and
half miles from the city at an
early our this morning As was
mentioned in THE HERALD several
days ago the work of grading the
old military road from the city
limits to a short distance beyond
Villanueva has been in progress
several days. 1t seems that a lot
fine mules were received yesterday
for use on the work, and Mr..
Viano says he and Teofilo Crixell S
two boys were out for an early
morning drive and were just
crossing an embankment when
they heard a tremendous racket.
and looking in the direction it
came from saw eight fine mules
hitched to the county road grader
coming toward them at break seek
speed. He ordered his driver to
drive up, and barely had time to
get out of the way when the entire
team of mules plunged into a pit
five or six feet deep, full of mud.
The mules went in one on top of
the other, with the scraper and
driver on top of all. The lead
mules were buried in the mud, the
scraper tongue broken and
general mass was in the mud to-
gether. Viano says he saw that
something must he done quickly
to save the mules, so he jumped
out of his carriage and began cut
ting the harness with his pocket
knife. After hard work all but
one of the mules. was released, it
having its head SO deeply buried
in the mud that it was impossible
to get it out. The driver of the
mule team says he does not know
how he got out of the pit unless
one of the males kicked him out.
The mules are said to be fine
animals, valued at about 5000 each
and it is almost a miracle that
several of them were not killed.

His Wife's Money.

Once upon a time a man mar
ried a woman who had inherited
$500 from a grandfather. This was
all she ever received, but the man
never got credit for his efforts the
rest of his life. He built a new
store. Did it with his wife's
money, the neighbors said. The
home was made over and enlarged.
His wife's money did it., was
the only comment. The little meas
ley $500 she inherited was given
the credit for everything he did
during life and when he died and
his widow put up a monument with
his life insurance Her money paid
for that" was said again. But this
is what her money really went for:
During her engagement she bought
herself a $3.50 piano and a $50
diamond ring and in a few weeks
lost the ring. There was always
some regret that she didn't lose
the piano.-Dallas Times Herald.

Governor Hogg's Letter.

The following letter from Ex-
Governor Hogg to a small boy
testi6es broad-minded man to
adapt himself to to all classes of
people: My Dear Little TREND:
Out of the thousands of calls on
me for contributions, presents and
assistance, l find none so unique,
terse and boy-like as yours; which
simply asks me to send you a goat
l wish had one here now to ex-
press to you, but I have none.
Down on my plantation, several
hundred miles from this place, l
have some goats and l will des-
cribe them to you. There are big
goats, and little goats, white
goats, black goats, red goats, blue
goats, grey goats, yellow, speckled
goats, long horned goats, short
horned goats one horned goats
and moolv goats, Angora goats,
Spanish goats, fine goats, common
goats, all kinds, classes and colors
of goats, and each and every one
of them is a book-eating, tree
skinning, brier-cleaning, snake
stamping, bucking goat, used for
the purpose clearing up the woods,
brambles and thickets around the
premises. Now, the first time that
you hear that I am in Houston,
want you and your brother to
call on me at the Rice Hotel, so
that you can explain to me wheth-
er or not one OF these malicious
goats which you call for would get
your father into trouble with his
neighbor. I warrant you are a
nice boy, aud I hope to make
your acquaintance. With sincere
regard, am, your friend,

steelyards hold their own. can re-
member how popular they we're with
certain farmers wives when / was n

hand at weighing a roll OF butter or a
bag OF wool. But even then the women
and children were the only persons who
seemed to take much stock In steel
yards The tradesmen who bought our
produce very fatty said that the figures
represented by steelyards not only
could but did tell lies, and they pro-
ceeded to weigh all our stuff over again

the quality of truthfulness.

have had the reputation of being unre-
