TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.

DR.. Wilbur j. Murphy Of the
United States Departmental Ag-
riculture was in the city Monday,
and delivered the following adj
dress before the county court:
"Gentlemen-I appear before
your honorable body this morning
to urge on the part of Benton
County cooperation with the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, to eradicate ticks here
and as a result of that effort to re-
move the nationalquarantine line

blight that has ever sapped the Vi

tant is this animal scourge IN It's
effects that no time should be lost
in taking the necessary steps to
thoroughly obliterate the quaran-
tine line, the cattle fever that made
Ahe quarantine line q necessary
protection and the ticks, the real
cause of all the trouble.
II will occupy few moments OF
your time in showing what has
been done this year in Tennessee
in the eradication of tick infection.
Live Stock Commissioner'KittreH
in his report in the Nashville
American Of December rs, 1906,
finds as follows:
"'Six counties freed of all tick
infection and to be released this

jackson, Cumberland, Cannon and
Moore. Eight counties to be re-

facts in connection with that sub

tick infection within the coming
year. i want you to provide for
the employment Of at least two
county inspectors to aid in the
work, to work as we do and under
my supervision, The cost will be
what you pay your county repre-
sentatives.
There is but one way that this
tick infection can be destroyed and
that is by year Of quarantine
work. During this year cattle
must be kept up and kept free of
ticks, while the ticks on the out
side are starving to death, which
requires about ten months.
"Following is a brief of the plan
of operation:
"(l) Cattle, horses and mules
must be kept from the open range
during the year of quarantine.
"(2) Stray animals must be.put
up, as the law provides, to prevent
the possible distribution of infec-
tion.
"(3) Cattle must.be keptfree Of
all ticks while kept up.
"(4) mpetentinspectors, both
countyand government, must make
frequent farm inspections.
"(5) The county must be quar-
antined against the entry Of infec-
tion; no cattle to, come in without
inspection.
"And now, gentlemen, in clos
ing, | wish to make it plain that
the laws are on the statute books
Of Tennessee, under which this
county can be freed of tick infec-
tion aud the work accomplished

gun. That part Of the live stock

Burke "Moran, release those troopers"
"Wat moment said the outlaw. do

The subnspector hcstatcd.
81 PROMISE" he said at length.
Romany King looked for a moment at the
stretch of desert behind him, the rolling, linn
itless plain which called TO him like mother.
Thoughts of the freedom he was foregoing were
surgng in tide within him. He hcsitated for
a moment, and then held out his hands for the
manacles.
Il reckon it's a bargain, then" he said.
The sergeant gave malicious grin OF triumph
os he clicked the handouts on his wrist, and
from the throats of half hundred miners arose
cheer-a ringing cheer of admiration for the
honor OF an outlaw.
The same night Romany King lay in his
CELL his brain plotting and planning for some
method of escape He had fulfilled his part OF
the contract when he stepped inside the prison
door, and now he heard the call of the desert
in every breath of the rowing wind and all
his being clamored to respond.
But the walls Of the Jail were made OF thick,
stout logs of iron-bark, hard and impervious as
granite.
Suddenly it occurred to him that one Of the
wooden logs of the wall was lighter in color
than the rest. III was dark In tne CELL DuJ tnc
moonlight pierced between the chinks, and his
practiced eye told him that the log in question
was not of seasoned hardwood If it were pine
he knew there would be little doubt that il
would be eaten to the heart by white ants.
He walked over to it noiselessly, and felt it
with his hands 1t was sound and smooth
and bore no traces of decay. But the ground
around the Jail was of the light dusty soil
in which white ants abound, and he knew they
would be attracted to the pine as steel to
magnet He took out his knife and cut into the
hard white wood.
1t was an almost helpless task but if his
conjecture were right the log would be rotten
to the core. Feverishy he toiled seeming TO
make impression the almost impenetrablc
wood but he persevered with an energy that
would not be beaten. At last, after two hours
labor, he felt his knife sink into mass of de-
cayed pulp, where the white ants had done their
work of destruction.
Success was surely coming to him. and with
all the eagerness of hope he hacked away with
his knife 1t was no great matter to make a
hole in the rotten wood large enough to slip
his body through. He felt the fresh air of the
desert in his face he crawled out of the
opening.
Then, outside of tile Jail he heard the tread
of footsteps. He knew instnctivey that it was
Moran who was guarding him with untirins
watchfulness. His hands were clenched with
passion, and he crouched in the shadow of the
wall and awaited his coming.
Next morning the news that Romany King
had escaped ran around the camp. The cell was
found empty; and, gagged, bound and nailed by
his ear to the wooden door of the Jail was
Moran.
On his breast was pinned another letter to
the sub-inspector. 1t ran:
"Sir: You have dealt with brave men &C.
cording to your idea of justice. have dealt
with villain according to mine.

SszsHsJ iect of this method of procedure is
easily seen; most people find that the

neatly-written program should be given to
each guest; this gives them all an idea that the
evening is to be full of amusement. There may
be intervals for the especial purpose of permitting
the children to propose some games of which they
alb fond, and this scheme gives them a feel
ing of partnership in the entertainment
However fond children may be of the old
games, there can be question that something
fresh provided that it be simple enough to be
easily understood, is great joy to them. There
fore if some game can be devised that is novel,
SO much the better.
The following is good idea for a chdrens
party a tray, on which are displayed from
twelve to twenty articles is brought in and the
guests are tOlu TO look at III closely, because a
prize will be given to the one who can after
wards most accurately describe the things which
they see on this tray. The time allowed for ex-
amining the contents of the tray may be one
minute or two; then it is taken away and the
guests commence the competition. The answers
may be written down, or the hostess may retire
to corner and take each child separately for a
verbal description. If the articles very dis
tinctive it will aid the children. Doubtless some
of the guests will notice only half the articles,
while others may be able to enumerate all and
give fairly good description of them. There
will be keen excitement during this competition.
If the ages of the guests vary much, two trays
may be used and the children divided into sec
tions according to their years,
THE BLIND BELLRlNGER.
A game that will create uproarious amusement
is called the blind bellringer. The room is clear
ed as far as possible, and bell is hung from a
cord at one end of the apartment. An easy
way to suspend this bell is to stand two screens
wide apart and place a long rod from one to the
other; the cord is tied in the centre OF the rod
and in that way the bell can swing clear IN the
space between the screens.
Each child is blindfolded in turn and tries Ia
knock the bell with cane. The start Is made
from the other end OF the room and the candi

forward until he or she thinks that the interven
