Young Man Proved Decidedly Equal

Harold visits on terms of intimacy
a household that boasts of three good
looking sisters-Betty, Babbie and
Ellen-and of these Harold has not
yet quite made up his mind touching
a certain important contingency
On one occasion. when he had called
early and no one was yet downstairs.
Harold was half-dozing in a Morris
chair in the library. when suddenly a
pair of soft little hands covered his
eyes and a sweet little voice COM
manded:
Guess Who'll"
Immediately Harold was up a tree.
He couldn't for the life of him de-
termine whose voice 1t was-Betty
Babies? Ellen's? A wrong guess
would mean complications too awful
to contemplate Finally, however, a
happy solution of the difficulty offered
itself, and Harold blandly announcer:
It's the dearest. sweetest little girl

HE'LL N TEXAS.

The deyil in hell were told was
chained.
And thousand years he there re-
NAMED,
He neither complained nor did he
groan,
But he determined to start a hell Of
his own,
Where he could torment the souls
of men.
without being chained in prison
pen,
So he asked the Lord if he had on hand
Anything left when ne made this
land,
The Lord said Yes, had plenty
on hand.
But, I left it down on the Rio
Grande.
The fact is. OLD boy. the stun is SO
poor
4 don't think you can use it in hell
But the devil went down to look at
the truck.
And said if he took it as gift he was
stuck,
For after examining it carefully and
well,
He concluded the place was too dry
for a hell
So in order to get it off his hand
The Lord promised the devil to water
the land,
For he had some water, or rather
some dregs,
A regular cathartic and smelled like
no
Hence the trade was closed, the deed
was given,
And the Lord went back to his home
in heaven;
The devil said to himself: :" I have
all that is needed
To make good hell" and hence he
succeeded.
He began putting horns all over the
trees.
And mixed up the sand with millions
of feas;
He scattered trantulas along the
roads,
Put horns on the cactus and horns
on the toads.
He heightened the horns on the Texas
steers;
And put an addition to the rabbits
ears,
He put a little devil in the broncho
steed,
And poisoned the feet of the cent?
pede
The rattlesnake bites you, the scor-
pion stings,
The mosquito delights you with his
buzzing wings;
The sand-burrs prevail, and so do
the ants,
And those who sit down need half
soles on their pants.
The devil then said that throughout
the land
He'd arrange to keep up the devils
own brand,
And all should be mavericks, unless
they bore
Marks of scratches, of bites and
thorns by the score,
The heat in the summer is one hum
bred and ten,
Too hot for the devil, and too hot for
men;
The wild boar roams through the
black chaparTal;
'Tis a he'll of a place that he has for
hell,

HELL In TEXAS ANSWERED
TEXAS A PARADISE.

/ heard the white-winged dove coo IN
an ebony tree
And it made me think OF this land SO
when I heard the wild coyote with
its hungry yell,
1 thought OF the man who called TINS
'.hell
During our great drouth of ninety
and ninety-one
We had no grass to feed cur cattle on,
And Cara. too, was raising hell IN
ninety-one and two
And perhaps things did look like he'll
to you.
Thousands of hills with fine cattle ga
lore,
leave now no room for the Ions horn
steer and Spanish boar;
And the many fine horses that now
here speed
Have taken the plcae of the broneho
and the fine bred cattle that now here
Quench their thirst from an artesian
And the thorny cactus and chaparral.
Are mighty fine truck for cattle to
chew.
The oxman and his old time cart
Will soon for ever from us depart,
The jackass and the barrel man
VIII be no more, down on the Rio
Grande.
By next year without doubt
Well have large factories all about,
For now We raise two crops year,
And there's no hell for US to fear.
The devil decided this land too rich
for "hell''
So he decided it back for good people
to dwell,
The farmer has come with his mule
and pillow
To till the land that caused this row.
We also have canals traversing the
land
To take the water from the Rio
Grande.
To irrigate your so-called hell
And have drowned the devil, and
drowned him well.
Next year the boats and railroads
viii give a choice of routes to you;
And when you come you'll see your
fate,
For We are strictly up-to-date.
This southern land is now versus
hell
Hope soon you'll come and hear what
/ can tell
From Rio Grande to Brownsville
town
You will find many changes all
around
The marshals, sheriffs and rangers
+ gay
Have run the outlaws all away.
Now, if you are fond of fruit and rice
! Come down and see our paradise.
Adieu to hell and tarantulas. too,
: We have no use for them nor you.

FINDS HIS OCCUPATION GONE.
Rag Mans Business Has DwindIed Il
Vanishing Point.


Rags. bones, old iron," is a cry
not nearly so familiar to the children
of to-day as to those of the sos. For
the ragman, like the chimney sweep
and the sun dial maker, is becoming
extinct. His used to be a profitable
trade. The wooden rags he bought,
turned into shoddy, brought thrice
their cost. So did the bones, which
were ground UP for fertilizer So did
the iron, which, melted, lived again.
Many millionaire manufacturing fam
lies had their beginning in a long
headed ragman. He first ground his
rags into shoddy Then he spun the
shoddy into thread Then, a full
fledged millman, he wove the thread
into cloth. But the municipalities of
to-day contract with single firms for
the disposal OF their peoples refuse,
and the old ragman is disappearing
because there is so little for him.
For-and this is the great secret
while the ragman made a grand profit
on what he bought, it was on the
refuse given him that he really throve.

MIssIna p Yearsi Returns.

Twsnty-four years ago Jacob J. Hill
homesteaded quarter section of land
in Pulaski county, but before he proved
up on it he disappeared from home.
Years elapsed and nothing was heard
from HILL His wife was permitted to
prove title to the land, and with her
five children she clung to the old hill
side farm, barely ekelng out an exist
ence. Some years ago Mrs. Hill was
forced to mortgage a portion of the
original tract. Much to her surprise
her husband put in an appearance a
few days ago, and has claimed his
farm and his wife, who had not been
divorced nor married again. rhe only
explanation Hill offered was that he
has been living In Texas all these
years. When he returned he claimed
ownership of the farm and, 1t is stated,
declared he would not pay the mort
cages put on 1t by his wife. The story
of Hills disappearance and return af.
ter so many years became known when
holders of the mortgages executed by
Mrs. Hill appeared at the government
land Office to ascertain whether or not
they can collect their claims on the
patent issued to Mrs. Hill.
