on the head waters or the Beaver, a
man who still made business of

The origin of this singular por-
tion Of the face Of the earth came
about as follows: The United States
gave Texas 10 million dollars TO
quiet her title to the land west of
what is now the Panhandle. running
nearly as far south as I'll Paso. Then
the government began To create New
Mcvico. Colorado and 1NaHSaS. by en-
tending certain lines or latitude and
longitude. When Texas came into
the Union in 1915, her lines extended
tmrty-four and one-half miles north
of latitude 36 degrees and 80 min
utcS. This latter was the dead line
between the North and South on the
slavery question, under the Missouri
Compromise. Texas could not run
that far north and be wholly slave
state, so she was amputatcd at the
dead line. This left piece Of land
81 - by 1G7 l-2 miles in extent,
which literally was owned by nobody
and wanted by nobody. Eventually it
was held to be part Of the public
lomaim Of the United States, and so
subject to entry, it has towns now,
and laws. In 1886 it tried to be adj
! mttcd to the Union us the "Cimar-
roN tcrritory,' but its feeble re-
quest seems long ago to have been
lost and forgotten, although in Nov
cmbcr, 1887, it set up a provisional
government, held constitutional
convention, chose great seal, and

what was contested as a Fraudulent
election. II was all very Western,

What the Bell Meant.

Rex Beach in Evcrybody's.
AT the end Of the ballroom floor in
Riley's Tonopah saloon was stage,
upon which the orchestra sat. On
one side were tiers of curtaincd box
es and along the other ran a raised
gallery with drinking tables and
chairs. A railing held the crowd back
from the dancers, but there we're no
hurdles between the onlookcrs and
the bar. In fact, from the way they
gravitated thithcr I judged the floor
to be on a slant. The place was
thronged and very noisy. In the
midst Of swinging two-step one of
the musicians picked up a cow bell
from between his feet and tangled it
loudly.
"What does that mcan?' I asked.
"A fight 2"
"Oh, no. said a man at my side,
"thc orchestra wants a drink.' and

scnd'lin% toward the stage to take

walls the wild clamor of this bovine
neck charm broke out and it never
failed to gain attention.

The editor of The Herald and News
I'D the pleasure last week of spend
the night in Saluda county. He

jssaad Mr.. j. B. O'Neall Holloway, of
The purpose of the trip
the institution of a lodge Of
Of Pythias at Mt. Enon, or
livery near the old Mt. Enon. The
& party left Newberry early in the day
I on Friday and travelled by way Of
2 the steel bridge and through the
Coleman community to the home of
Mr. Henry Ellis, arriving at o'clock
and enjoying with Mr.. and Mrs. Ell
lis, most excellent dinner, in fact,
a real country dinner, which only
those who know what that means can
have any idea of the repast which
was spread before the visitors.
This section Of the county is one
Of the best rural communities in the
state THE lands arc fertile, the
farmers prosperous, and everything
has the appearance Of comfort and
good living.
Mr.. Pink Boulnight, who at one
time lived in Ncwberry county, lives
near by and three or four of his sons
have settled in calling distance of
his home, and Mr.. w. E.. Clary, who
has two sons in Newberry, lives also
in the community. In conversation
with Mr.. Clary, the qquestion, Of
course, of the weather came up, and
he remarked that his recollection of
the cold spell in April, 1S49, was
very distinct. He says that the snow
which fell in that year and in that
month was on Sunday. the 18th day
of April, and that on Monday it was
still very cold, and he remembers
that he was pupil at that time at
the Mt Enon Academy, and that
seventy pupils answered that morn
ing to roll call and durin" the fifty
eight years since that April morning
ffty-ei"ht Of those seventy have
died. and twelve are still living Mr.
Clarv has furnished The Herald and
News with thc names OF the seventy
and they arc published in this con-
nection.
The new lodge is located within
one-half mile Of where the old Mt.
Enon Academy stood, and the lodge
room is upstairs over new school
building, which has just been. erected
in this district. In those days Mt.
Enon was a famous school, and pu-
pills attended not only from the COM
munity, but from miles away and
among the pupils were number of
Newbcrry boys and girls.

furnished by Mr.. Clary:

SIX NEW CARDINALS.
American Church is Not Included in
the List.

ROME, March 25.-The pope has decided
to hold consistory April Is and create
six cardinaIs-namely, Monsignor Cavallari,
the patriarch Of Venice; Monsignor Rinal-
dini the papal nuncio to Spain; Monsignor
Lorenzelli the ex-papal nuncio at Paris:
Monsignor Lualdi, archbishop of Palermo;
Monsignor MERCER, archbishop of Malines,
and Monslgnor Maff1. archbishop of risa.
The last named will be transferred to
Rome as cardinal of the Curia
James E. Quigley archbishop Of Chicago:
Rochester: Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls
and Archbishop Seton were Informed OF the
approaching consistory.
Without voicing the opinion of any Ameri-
can prelate, it can be said that the list Of
six new cardinals Is a disappointment as
the United States considers itself entitled
to larger representation in the sacred col
lege than 1t now has-namely. one cardinal
1t Is related that the United States. in num-
bers, is the fourth Catholic power in the
world but from the standpoint Of an en-
lightened prosperous and progressive coun-
try its position in the Catholic world Is
even higher.
With one cardinal the United States is
on the same level Of representation as Por-
tugal and Belgium.
Various reasons are given in Vatican cir
cles for the appointment of these six new
cardinals, and 1t Is explained further that
cardinals are not created to satisfy national
desires, but as result of the inspiration of
the pontiff, who is guided by individual
merit
1t is believed here that Canada and Eng
land will also be disappointed with the
foregoing selection, England having been
without a cardinal since the death of Car
dinal Vaughan.
Shortly after Easter the American arch
bishops here will meet and discuss, among
other things. the best way to augment the
Peters pence contributions. 1t is proposed
to raise these contributions from 100000 to
81 900, 900, making good to this extent the
losses the Vatican has sustained in France
After Monsignor Rinaldni, the papal
nuncio at Madrid, is elevated to the car
dinalate ii is considered to be almost sure
that Monsignor Della Chiesa, the present
substitute papal secretary of state, will re-
place him nuncio.

REDDING. Conn, March 25.-Workmen
are preparing to begin on the new country
home of Mark Twain. Some time ago Mr..
Clemens purchased the Noah Sherwood
farm of ninety acres and later bought ITO
acres adjoining.
The land lies in what is known locally as
the Glen" which for picturesqueness sur
passes anything In the Connecticut hills.
Mr.. Clemens intends to have park rum
ming down to the Saugatuck river. with a
private path from the river to his back
door through the park.
The house itself will stand on knoll.
Mr.. Clemens first intended that his home
should be Of Connecticut red sandstone, but
after consultation with his old friend Will
liam Dean Howells and getting the advice
of the latter's son, John D. Howells, an
architect, Mr.. Clemens decided that a con-
crete structure was the correct thing. The
house will be two stories. 40X9313 feet. The
framework will be of steel with concrete
covering. The exterior will be succeed.
