Preacher Has Close Call.

Rev. j. B. Boen returned last
night from visit to his mother in
Kentucky. He says the Blue Grass
state has been visited by excessive
rains this spring and crop prospects
there are not very encouraging.
Mr.. Boen will occupy his pulpit at
at the Main Street Christian church
both morning and evening tomorrow,
but he is hardly physically able to
preach. On his way home to visit his
mother he was overcome by heat in
Memphis and has not fully recover
ed. He was stricken on the street
and was unconscious for some time.
When he regained consciousness he
was being cared for in the shade of
church near where he had fallen.
The man who rendered him assis-
lance proved to be prominent judge
from Nashville who was there at
tending the reunion.

GREAT GOBS OF SWEETNESS
Honey crop Of Texas VIII Exceed
5000. 900 Pounds.

San Antonio, Texas. June 19.-Of
the 100000 pounds honey crop of
Texas, at least $500 600 pounds viii
come from the vicinity of San An
tonic. Uvalde county will furnish
nearly 100000 pounds of this del
icacy and Kinney county no less
than 600 900 pounds. Uvalde county
has long been famous for the quality
of its honey. 1t is claimed that there
is none better in the country. The
same can be said of Kinney county.
The fine flavor of the honey of
these parts is due to the presence
OF the juahila and catclaw flowers.
These grow in large quantities here
and are noted for the amount and eX-
cellence of nectar they contain. The
honey industry in Southwest Texas
owes its prominence to the efforts of
T. j. Martin of Spofford who was the
first to undertake bee culture on a
large scale. From his apiaries most
of the stock of Uvalde and Kinney
has sprung.

Wild DOGS In Africa.

The wild dogs in Africa are more
feared by the natives than any other
beasts, for, while they are not to be
dignitied by the term of game, they
run in packs and seem to know that
the native is afraid Of them. Native
burden bearers will often take their
chances in passing around buffalo
herd and will hardly notice lion, but
when they hear the howl Of the wild
dogs they drop whatever they may be
balancing on their heads and take to
the trees. There they are frequently
held captive until their cries summon
assistance. Crossing the trail Of large
game. these dogs often interfere with
the pursuit. At a distance the hunter
is likely to mistake them for leopards
or some of the smaller game. Intense
disgust follows the wounding OF n wild
dog, for then, according to the ethics
of the chase, the true sportsman must
pursue and kill the beast. These dogs
are not degenerates, but are natural
mongrels. They have low bodies GOV
cred with hair OF coach dog growth
bushy tails and powerful paws.-Mc-

their principal line of feed. They
have already procured an abundant

late forage crops and quite a variety
of this will be planted should the
rains be sufficient to get the ground
