Low Borders and Bedding.

PortulacaS are almost without rivals
for brilliancy among the low growing
plants They possess the ability to
flourish and do extremely well under
very unfavorable conditions, as even
the hottest sun, light, sandy soil and
scanty water supply will not destroy
them. AS an underground for taller
plants they are admirable, while for
beds, edgings, borders and rockWorck
they are perfectly satisfactory, as
we'll as for filling up irregular spaces
and gaps in beds of other flowers.
The portulaca covers the ground with
a mat Of handsome foliage which, in
the foreground is completely hidden
under a profusion of the gayest bios
SONS. The seed does not terminate
until hot weather, and should be sown
late. Beyond the preparation of the
soil and the sowing, portulacas re-
quire little care.

STRANGE STORY OF A DOG.


former resident of Walla Walla
told yesterday of an unusual occur
renee that had come to his notice
while on a visit over in Idaho. One
stormy night several months ago a
number of gun shots were heard fired
in quick succession. 1t was too dark
and too stormy to make any inves-
tigation at that time but as soon as
the storm abated search party went
out to see what had caused the
shots.
Nothing was discovered at that time,
but fully two weeks after the storm
narty of miners found a dog emacia-
ted and half starved lying upon the
snow in a deep gully in the direction
in which the shots had been heard.
The miners tried to coax the dog to
follow them back to town but he re-
fused to leave the spot for even short
distance.
MANY theories are afloat as to the
cause of the actions of the dog. 1t
seems probable that some prospec-
tor wandering over the mountains was
caught in the storm and lost his way.
| After straying for hours without food
or warmth, with feet frozen by the
| intense cold. he was unable to pro-
coed further through the deep snow
| AS a last resort he emptied his re-
volver into the air in last vain
| hope that some one might hear and
| come to his rescue.
| His energies were all now spent and
| he succumbed to the drowsiness SO
characteristic to a death by freez-
| ing.
An uncomprehending witness to this
tragedy, the dog stands in the snow
holding up one poor half frozen paw
land gazing in wonder at the huddled
form of his master. He is only dog
and mongrel, yellow cur at that, but
| he knows that all is not well with his
master He shifts at the figure lying
so still amid the snow, but it does not
| stir. He ticks the hands but receives
no answering caress. In distress he
raises a mournful howl, but the shriek
of the wind through the mountains
mock him.
Night wears on, the day comes, but
still the dog keeps faithful watch. The
| ever deepening snow has long ago hid
his master from sight, yet the dog
knows he is buried there and will not
desert. At times the pangs of hun
ger drive him a short distance from
his masters side, but he would moi
go out of sight. Although the snow
| is now about eight feet deep where
the body probably lies the dog viii
not leave the spot until the snow has
| gone.
| Finding themselves unable to coax
the dog to return to camp with them
the miners tried to unearth the sup
posed body. The snow was, however
too deep and the project was aband-
oned for the present. A purse has
been raised in the neighboring towns
| and food is being sent to the dog II
sufficient quantities to keep him alive
until the snow leaves the mountains
| There was so much snow last veal
that it will be along in June before the
dog can give up his lonely vigil ant
return to civilization.

TEXANS FEARED
CATTLE FEVER
IN EARLY DAYS

In the days gone by, Texas fever
was feared by the cattlemen," related
Tom Botkin the other day in talking of
early day vigilance committees. THE
ravages of that disease were frightful,
and the cowman had to take stringent
measures to shut it off. l remember
an instance when citizens of Linn
county organized themselves in COM
mittee in 1867. and killed about 100
head of Texas cattle which were
quartered at Mound City while being
driven to Kansas City by company
of cowboys. KanSans were then ter
ribly afraid of having their cattle in
fected with Texas fever from the
herds from the Lone Star state and
as the quarantine laws were frequently
violated at that time, the citizens took
the law into their own hands, killing
all Texas cattle that were driven
across the Kansas border. While the
Texas cowboy was regarded as bad
citizen in a skirmish, yet the Kansas
Jayhawkers, ex-Union soldiers and
plainsmen alho had regulations as be-
ing hard men to deal with when there
was trouble in the wind"
Botkin was only a small boy on the
night Of the killing of>that herd of cat
tie in Mound City, but he remembers
the incident distinctly. The men as .
sembled at our house, which was near
Mound City," he said, land my brother
Jerry democratic nominee for gov
ernor last year), and my father and
most Of our neighbors formed a body
selected for the adventure. The party
all carried guns and when they
mounted horseback to start for Mound
City they looked like company or
cavalry l thought that the Civil war
had broken out again and was terribly
excited The party rode to Mound
City and drove the cattle out of the
stock yards there and shot them. 1t
seemed an awful thing to do as well
as Wanton destruction of valuable
property, but such drastic action was
necessary at that time, in order to
prevent the spread of the Texas fever
among the herds of Kansas cattle.
The owners of these Texas steers
knew the chances they took when they
sent their herds heavily guarded by
cowboys. But the latter were over
awed at Mound City that night by the
numbers and determination of the
Kansans and made no resistance to
the destruction of their cattle. There
were many such cattle killings IN
Southern Kansas in the SOS, but | do
not remember a case where the cow
boys made any serious resistance to
the self-appointed committees which
waited upon them. The Kansans kept
scouts stationed along the border who
sent notice ahead when a herd was
driven into that state and messengers
rode hastily over the country round
about and summoned a hundred or so
Of the best men in two or three coun-
ties. and they would assemble at some
given rendezvous in the path of une
herd and ride up and kill every steer
| in the bunch while the cowboys sWore
until they could be heard in the skies
above but did not dare to start any
thing. While adventurous men and
soldiers composed part of these

citizens of the state also joined them

necessary law in regard TO quaran-

Master Of Dreams,


C"Behold! This dreamer cometh!"
They stripped me bare and left me
by the way,
To pine forsaken in a lonely land:
They gave me to night frosts and
burning day,
To griefs none understand.
They took my silver from me and my
gold
The changing splendors of my rich
array
Nights silver rain of dew escaped
their hold
And the fine gold of day.
On the worlds highway in vain pomp
they tread,
By paths unknown I stray, and hid
den streams;
They took all else, and left me there
for dead
They could not take my dreams
Still morning comes with marvels as
of old;
Still in soft rose descends the even
tide;
Still in the castle of my heart, grown
bold,
The sweet, swift thoughts abide
Pass by. pass by, o clamerous folk
and wild;
To this last fortress of the soul
cling
Man gave me winter weather from a
child,
But God has given me spring.
