Santaintee Ranch is located
about thirty miles from Raymond
vile, and is equally distant from
McAllen station, on the Fordyce
branch, which is due south says,
The Texas Sun. It comprises
about IS 900 acres of fine grazing
land, and is one of the finest
ranches in this section Of Texas,
| 1t is well-watered, and the cattle on
| it are always we'll nourished. This
ranch is the property of Mr.. J.
J. Young, one of the old-time
pioneers, who is now resting from
the labors of his youth. It is in
teresting 10 listen to his tales of
the time when he trailed herds of
cattle through the wilds of Texas
to Kansas and to other northern
points.
The population of the ranch is
composed of Mexicans. who have
lived there for many years and
they retain all the characteristics
of their race, unchanging in any
respect. save in their wonderment
at the many new things that are
coming into their part of the world.
American money for them has no
attractions and they demand their
wages in Mexican Money, which
to them is the only means of bart
er.
| It is interesting to observe their
Hives, and, while their mode Of
living is much different from that
lof their northern neighbors yet
are like them in their fears of the
mysterious. This fear was illus.
trated in an amusing way, several
days ago and it was the result Of
their ignorance of the progress Of
things. 1t was the night of a
very warm day, and all the men,
with their women aud children
were sitting in the open, enjoying
the cool breezes, the men smoking
their shuck cigarettes, while the
womed softly gossipped over the
events of the days. Suddenly
from the direction of the graveyard,
there came a strange buzzing
noise, that was like nothing that
they had over before heard. In
stant1y everyone was on their feet.
The cattle stopped their drinking
and trembIed with fear. Out Of
the darkness there appeared two
fiery eyes cleaning viciously at
them, and with a roar, approached

and men, women and children
fed, and the cattle stampeded for
the ends of the earth. With a
howl and a roar, it rushed upon
them, until they were almost dead
with terror; when it stopped with
a buzz of friendly introduction,
ard the familiar voice of Mr.. D.

customed "Buenas noches. - It
was the Mexicanse first sight of an
automobile.

an ancient fishmonger named Billing,
whose descendants settled at Billing

FRANKS OF WILD ELEPHANTS.

Wild elephants terrorize whole dis

woman and her two children were
sleeping in their hut. One of the
children heard noise at the granary
and woke the mother. The sound OF
the human voices from the house en-

was working at a ford. An elephant
walked out OF the forest and wished
to cross the stream at the ford. AS
the woman was in his way he picked
her up, winding his trunk around her
body, the end of it coming over her
face and nose. Then he placed the
woman gently, or as gently as he
could, at one side of the path. He
did not mean to hurt her, but never

Supposing that the other had drank

VIRTUES OF OLIVE OIL.
One Of the Most Valuable Of All Toilet
Adjuncts.

The uses and virtues of olive oil ara
many-not only from culinary point
of view, but as medicine and an adj
junct to the toilet.
For internal use olive oil is extreme
~ valuable, in many cases being a.
good If not better than cod liver oil,
and far more palatable, while az q
beauty specific it is of more value
than manh high-priced cosmetics and
skin foods, both of which last virtues
1t unites in itself.
With respect to skin food and cos
metics no animal fat, or any cream
having such as base, should ever be
used for the face, as it has tendency
to encourage that most fatal foe to
woman's neutrality-suspicious. hairs.
Olive oil, however, being vegetable
product, has no such injurious effect
and can be used with safety by almost
anyone, except, perhaps, those with
greasy skins.
But particularly those who have ar
rived-or are arriving-at the much
taAkeu-of and dreaded uncertain age"
should not neglect the regular use of
olive oil; it helps In wonderful way
to preserve the soft nothings Of chin
and throat.
Some people advocate pure glycerin,
but this sticky stun is absolutely ru-
nous to the skin and should never be
used alone; olive OIL, on the other
hand, is most beneficial.
AS to the method Of its employment,
simply wash the face well and then
gently rub the oil in with finger tips,
using an upward motion for the
cheeks, till the skin has absorbed as
much as 1T can, then wipe OF with
clean wadding. lint or a piece Of old
Naon.
