MISSOURI MULE
 NOW HAS A RIVAL

San Antonio, April 21.-(Special.)- For a number of years the Missouri mule has occupied wide place in the transportation world and since Speaker Champ Clark promised to drive span ef the Missouri product down Penn svlvania avenue in Washington, D. C.. celebrating his call to the speaker ship, the bray of the Missouri mule has been heard almost around the world. But famous as it Is, the Mis- souri grown animal is not alone in doing things. Texas has a few mules
 in fact, more of them are running a large over the great ranches just now than could be found in Missouri. Like those in the Show Me" state. the Texas mule has been doing things. There is hardly a country in the world where the mule Is used as motor power or for travel that the. Texas product is not in harness or under the saddle. Texas mules had a large place in the spanish American war. This same ami nal kicked both the Dutch and Eng
 fish during the Boer war. Four mule teams from Texas are now hauling linn burger and that other product that goes with it in Germany. Texas mules are used in the overland trips from the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea to interior towns both for saddle and harness purposes. A missionary writing back from India declares she rode a Texas mule from the sea coast 10 town 400 miles in the interior. She not only aserts that the mule was of the Texas variety, but being Texas girl, she says she recognized the brand on the animal as that of well known Texas ranchman enga ged in mule raising. Texas mules are in South Africa, many of the great wagon trains of that country as well as the
 pack trains are equipped with mules
 which spent their early mulehood in Texas. Some of the insurrectos who are now raising Old Nick and putting
 chunk under him in Old Mexico are Using mules for transportation pur- | poses which came from Texas ranches. 1 The Texas mule is doing his share as
 burden bearer in building the Pan ana canal. In fact in the great fields
 of commerce in all parts of the world, 1 the man who has a trained ear can recognize the bray of the Texas mule
 Missouri niay have held the middle of
 the stage in the mule world some years
 ago, but today the Texas product Is di-
 9iding the honors; and when Speaker
 Clark makes his historic trip down
 tennsylvania avenue there Is suspicion
 that he may drive a team from Texas
 bearing the Missouri brand.

PONY HOMES|CK
 FOR TEXAS HOME

San Antonio, Tex, April 21.-(Special)-- Twelve years ago George Lawrence rode from Menard county. Texas, to point in Louisiana 20 miles west of New or leans The animal ridden was native Texas pony. Several times, shortly after his arrival in Louisiana, the pony got out of the enclosure where it was kep- and started back to Texas, one time GOV ering 50 miles of the way before 1t was caught At no time during the F years did the animal appear to be satisfied when in Louisiana pasture. Early lii January, this year. the pony was miss ing. and on account of circumstances st the time it was believed to have been stolen. Notwithstanding the fact that the animal is r years old, it is one of the best saddlers in that part of the coun- try, and since other animals had beea stolen from the neighborhood about that time it was very natural to conclude that this one had fallen intos-the hands of thieves, Search was made at the time, but on clew to the whereabouts of the pony could be obtained. A few days ago Lav : renee got letter from an old friend il Menard county telling him that the rOny had come back to the plains of Texas and had been recognized by the brand Lawrence immediately went by train t. Menard preparatory to taking the pony back to its old home. The animal had gone 800 miles between the Louisia i'd point and its old home in Menard coun- ty, finding it's way back to heHstate pf Us nativity after lapse of F years. Discussing the matter today. Lawrence said: "There never was time since l rode that pony out of Texas when It was turned out In the pasture that U did not go to the west fence, look wist- fully away in the distance >and wninny. am convinced it was homesick for F yearS."

PEACE ARMISTICE IS
 STILL A POSSIBILITY

Washington, April 21.-The Mexican revolutionists may yet find it unnecessary to attack Juarez and an armistice with i'll few days between the federal and insurrecto forces is still a strong prob ability. This was the inference drawn from tonights activities of Dr. Vasauez Gomez, head of the confidential agency of the Mexican revoutonists here
 Dr. Gomez sent several telegrams to- night to Mexico, but the only nforma- ton as to their contents was given in a statement which he issued
 Tt is impossible for me-" said pr. Gomez, Ito reveal the nature of negoti- ations in which l am tonight engaged All l can say is that within a few days may be able to communicate something Of great interest to the Mexican people. IL is absolutely essential, however that these negotiations he kept secret as we are dealing with some delicate points,

BUTTER INDUSTRY GROWS IN TEXAS Proves To Have Some Very Decidedly Romantic
 Qualities

San Antonio, Tex, April 2.-(Special.)- Texas butter spreads almost one-third of American bread. There was a time when the Elgin product was found on half of the city tables in the land. But the Texas COW has changed the butter map Of this country and today the highest grade butter made in the world comes from Texas creameries. The business of butter making, according to statistical re- ports, has grown more rapidly sin the Lone Star state than any other state in the union. It is estimated that there are more than 5000 herds of Jersey and Holstein COWS in Texas today. Many of these are managed by women, some of whom have grown very wealthy making butter for the market centers of the country. This business, unlike many other commercial efforts, has it's romantic side, and recently it was announced that a well known New York business man would soon become the husband of a Texas girl who had made her mark in the world commercially manufacturing but ter, and by this made an impression on one of the moving forces in Wall street to that extent that he made a trip to Texas to meet this young woman. The meeting was another illustration of the old story-love at first sight. Shortly after this meeting society in the metro- polls of the country and that of Texas was thrilled by the announcement that one of the most famous butter makers in the country would be June bride. From this incident it is evident that butter making in Texas has an attraction fer women not possible in many other states.
 Many of the large ranches which a few years ago were used for growing beef cattle are now occupied by dairy COWS and so profitable has this business be- come that others are going out of the beef producing business into the manu- fracture of butter and are stocking their lands with the best known butter cows. A short time ago a famous herd that was kept at Beaumont was sold at a most extravagant price and shipped to a large ranch in the western part of this state. It is estimated that with this start of dairy cows this ranch will have 5000 cows in five years. To be in a position to dis patch work rapidly the owner has ordered five of the famous Thistle milking ma chimes so extensively used in the dairy ing districts of Scotland

SOME TALES OF 4 GEORGIA MANSION Was Bought From John James In 1870 For
 S10,000

Atlanta, April 21.-(Special.)- pres ent executive mansion which the state is about to dispose of either by lease or sale. has had an interesting history.
 The lot which is about the only thing the purchaser or Jesse wants, and which fronts Peachtree street 40 feet and Cain street 400 feet, was bought by John H. James, long well-known banker, in 1870 for S10,O00; the legislative commit tee received a cash offer for $351, ,O0O
 In 1871 Mir James built the present governors mansion as it stands today, few changes having meen made except to freshen it up at a cost of s50,000
 Mir. James put 5000 worth of furniture into the residence and went there to live.
 When the legislature bought it for s100,o00 in bonds, Mir James simply walked out the front door carrying nothing wit him but his family and their clothing Furniture, carpets and everything else was left as MT. James had placed them.
 Then Gov. Rufus B. Bulloch, Georgia's reconstruction governor, moved in in 1872, and since then every governor of the state has resided there
 MT. James did not receive, however, anything like $37,00O profit on his deal, as the figures would indicate. It is said that some considerable sums were spent for spectacles for short-sighted members of the legislative committee which had the matter under consideration, as 1t was difficult for them to read the con- tract.
 Then, after this, MT. James took the bonds to New York and sold them to Henry Clews for ss5.O00. The bonds were afterwards paid by the state. MT. James cleared, it is said. approximately $l5,O0O on the deal.
