HAlR-RAISlNC WEEKS HUNT IN TEXAS FOR
FIERCE Remnants OF FAMOUS old lONcH0RNS

"Where the longhorns feed on the
suncured grass. In the blaze
of q cloudless sky:
Where the cactus crawls and the
sage brush spreads plain of

Where the gray wolf prowis and
makes his feast on the range

Where the coward coyote yelps by
night and sinks from the face

Where the chill of death from the

sting and blow.
There rides a man of the wild,
wide west, blest Of the sun
and air,
A simple man. with face OF tan,
and heart to do and dare.
"From rope and 'quirt' and rip
ping 'gaff' and strangling
'hackamore,"
The untamed broncho learned his
will and a master burden bore
Over the sloughs and the gofered
ground, and in time of his
greatest need
When he rides in the peril of hoof
and horn, at the head OF the
might stampede"
ENCINAL, Tex, July 13.-Loud
laughter greeted Ched Reder's
proposal at the Hall ranch house
on the Rio Grande that they should
60 hunting for longhorns.
"Look-a-here, kid" said Mesabe
Tom, who. after many years of
ranch riding, had settled down to
be stable boss for the ranch. Are
you getting loco? Don't you know
that the famous Texas steers is
all gone-plumb vanished from
the face of the earth and Texas?
UNLESS you mean them two

or three times?" he added.
"Them's the animiles," said Re-
der, calmly. I'm going after EN-.

along"
This is an account of a CONVEX
sation at the Hall ranch on the
Rio. Grande a few days ago. 1t
ended in a weeks hunt-the hard
est in years. Ched Reder and sew
en- men came back with their tro-
phies all right, but with height
ened respect for the Texas steer,
and for the cow punchers who used
to herd them quarter century
ago.
Reder and Bill Hoxie and six
other men first struck the back
trail along the Rio Grande near
the Lorenzo river. 1t was already
late in the afternoon.
Suddenly there was swishing
sound in the brush as though a
great wind was rushing through
the mesquite. Then 100 feet dis
tant from the riders burst the
two Texas steers, heads down, on
the charge.
So sudden was the movement
that the cowboys didn't have time
to get out of the way. 1t didn't oc-
cur to anybody to try to rope them.
, The great bulls, eye cleaning,
nostrils afoam, horne cleaning
like two great projectiles.
They went through the horse

caught fairly in the flank and
thrown heavily to one side. Reder

/ William E. Connelley, historian who
probably knows more about the "bor-
der rufian' days of early Kansas his
tory than any other Kansan, with a
few taps on his faithful typewriter
skaters the patriotic story of Barbara
Frietchie, made famous by Whittier
and his poem. Not only does Mr.. Con-
nelley deny the right of this woman
to be given credit for one of the most
I thrilling incidents of the war, but he
says he has proofs to show that she was
incapable of performing the deed or
J saying the things Whittier credits her
! with, and that Barbara Frietchie was
not a patriotic northern woman and
was a real southern sympathizer.
/ According to Mr.. Connelley it was
not Barbara Frietchie who
Cleaned far out of the window sill
| And shook it with royal viii. -
! 1t was Mrs. Archibald Quantrell and
her daughter Virginia who waved the
United States flag defantly in the faces
of the southern troops as they marched
down the streets of Frederick, Nd. Mrs.
Quantrell was an aunt of William G.
Quantrell, a guerrilla leader who laid
waste Lawrence and led many border
ruftian band into Kansas on expeditions
of pillage and rapine.
! Barbara Frietchie, according to Mr..
Connelley, lived in a house at least two
blocks from the street down which the
soldiers, marched on that September
T. - ia
distance barrier to her exploit she was
confined to her bed with a severe i'll
ness, with which she had been stricken
several weeks before the southern
troops reached Frederick and which
caused her death three months later.
Mrs. Quantrell, it is declared, was as
loyal to the Union cause as her nephew
was to the Confederate cause Mr.. Con-
nelley feels that there was involuntary
and unintentional injustice done to Mrs
Quantrell and credit given to one who
was incapable of performing the deed.
"'As Stonewal Jackson passed
through Frederick says Mr. Connel-
ley, &" Mrs. Quantrell and her daughter,
Virginia. afterward Mrs. Percy Brown,
were standing at their gate waving a
number of fags-the Stars and Stripes.
The soldiers angrily ordered them to
throw down the flags, and a lieutenant,
with his sword. cut flag from the
hands of Virginia QuantrelI. But she
continued to wave Old Glory, and 1t
was again struck from her hands by
the lieutenant s sword.
Mrs. QuantreH then took up
large flag which she waved aloft until
the army had passed through the town.
Many of the Confederate officers and
some of the soldiers applauded her, an
officer saying, with salute and mark
ed courtesy ITO you, madam, not to
your flag.
Mr.. Connelley has just completed
book on the history of William c.
Quantreu and events in Kansas and
Missouri during the Kansas Territorial
days and through the war. He has
gathered much original material from
members of and friends Of the Guam

Paper.Money

The only paper money that is ac-
cepted practically all over the globe
is not money" at all, but the notes
of the Bank of England. These notes
are simply printed in black ink on
Irish linen water-lined paper, plain
white, with ragged edges. The reason
that a badly -soiled Bank of England
note is rarely seen is that notes which
in any way find their way back to
the bank are Immediately Cancelled and
new ones are issued. The notes of the
Banque de France are made of white
water-lined paper printed in black and
white, with numerous NEUROLOGICAL
and allegorical pictures. They are in
denominations of from % francs to
100 francs, says Harper g Weekly.
Bank of England notes are Of a
somewhat unhandy size--fve by eight
inches. South American currency re
sembles the bills of the United States,
except that cinnamon brown and slate
blue are the prevailing colors. German
currency is printed in green and black,
The notes being in denominations of
from five to 1000 marks. The 100
mark bills are printed on silk fiber
paper.
It takes an expert of native TO dis
tinguish a Chinese bill from laundry

ton. or a frecracker label if for a
large amount, the print being in red
on white or yellow on red. with much
gilt and gorgeous devices Italian
notes are Of all sizes. shapes and col
ors. The smaller bills, five and ten

cow TICKS CUT
DOWN MILK YIELD
Pest Causes Shrinkage Of One
Quart a Day Per Cow, Gov
ernment Says

WASHINGTON. Dec. ia cattle tick
that has reached the engorged stage
weighs about five grains. and about 1900
such ticks weigh a pound As cattle in the
tick region often carry many thousands
of these blood sucking parasites and as
each tick during the period OF Its at
tachment to an animal draws consider
ably more than its own weight in blood,
it can be seen that these ticks consti-
tute an enormous drain on the cattle
which they infest
This accounts for the fact that under
such conditions IL is impossible to fatten
cattle even on rich pasture and with an
abundance of good feed large part OF
the nourishment that should go toward
producing beef and milk Is consumed by
the ticks In addition TO the loss Of blood
and nourishment. there is the never-ceas-
ing irritation caused by the ticks. so that
tho existence of the infested cattle is be-
set with continuous suffering. and this
of course, also tends to keep them in poor
condition.
The shrinkage in the milk production
of a COW harboring many ticks viii aver
age one quart a day and tho loss oc-
casioned thereby at three cents a quart
for the $4,000 ticky dairy cattle out OF
more than 100000 below the quarantine
line would amount to s2s,25O a day. Count
ing 800 milking days for each COW to the
year would make the loss from this cause
s1s75.ooo per annum.
Full information as to how to get rid
o. the ticks. including directions for the
preparation Of dips and sprays. the ar
rnngement Of pastures, etc. may be OBJ
tanned free upon application TO the Bureau

culture. Washington.
