willy BLACk-TA1LED DEER.
Lie Close, With Ears Back, Like a
Fawn or a Rabbit.

Bv far the most interesting and
sought for creature in the oregon
mountain ranges, the Columbian
black tailed deer is found at his besf
in the ranges between the summit
of the Cascades and the Pacific.
And he is a true mountalneer. NO
animal knows better how to take ad-
vantage of the hundreds OF contrast
ing but harmonious woodland tints.
Only when the frs, pines and hem-
locks cast long shadows into the gull
ches where he lies concealed and the
sun nears the horizon does he slip
out. and after cautiously peerlng
about and testing the wind begin
picking up his dinner.
The deer has an individuality all
his own which is in keeping with
his forest surroundings. The more
one hunts him the greater becomes
ones respect for him. His natural
shyness is so great that he skulks
outra geously, and the covers OF
mosswrapped brush and fallen tree

In Highlands of Scotland the Arch

The west highlands of Scotland
may truly be called the home of the

On a wild autumn day, with the
west or southwest wind blowing the

Enormous Value That May BE TAX

The production by Texas of almost
siyes some notion % wha this state

there are 34.0O0.000 acres of tilla-
BILE land in the state. OF this sum g.
T97.967 acres or aboG; eleven per
cent is cultivated. ia addition to tn
cotton grown the corn crop of 1910
was a close second in the matter OF
wealth to the farmer. If instead OF

30 900 600 of the entire arabic area
of the state was under cultivation,
and the same percentage devoted 10
cotton the output of this staple
alone from Texas would approximate
80 600 600 bales or more than three
times the entire product of the cot
ton belt of the country in 1910.
From these figures two interest
ing calculations can be made as tol-
lows: First, the vast population the
state will maintain, and secondly,
the enormous value which may De
taken from the soil in the form OF
one STAPLE alone. In addition to cot
ton the vegetable production of the
state is rapidly becoming a great
factor in the wealth produced and tG
this may be added the fruit produc-

it is recalled that Germany contains

THE STORK Is BUSY.
Fifty-Seven Sets of Twins Reported
for December.

During the month of December
according to the Texas State Board
of Health, 81 sets of twins and two
sets of triplets were born in this
state The actual increase in popula-
ton in excess of deaths as the re-
suits of births for the month was
242S Those into whose homes the
triplets and twins came may have
assumed that the duty devolved upon
them to put Texas in the fou tn
place in 1920 in the matter of popu-
lation But whether this be true or
not, the report shows that there is
no indication of race suicide in the
Lone Star State. Today Texas has
IN round numbers 900 600 inhabi-
tants. Taking the December increase
by births alone as an average, 1000
per month will raise the population
to G. 400 900 ten years hence so 1t
is quite evident that by natural pro-
cesses alone Texas will be in at the
count when the next census is taken.

A Cowboy at College

Late one afternoon on the list
day of SEPTEMBER, few years ago,
there came into the office of the
Secretary of the University young
man in cowboy dress, flannel shirt,
trousers stuffed in high boots, wide
brimmed Stetson hat, and a colored
handkerchief knotted about his
throat He presented credentials
which admitted him to the Univers-
ity of Texas, and in the converse
ton that ensued it developed that
the young man had ridden horseback
all the way from the Panhandle of
Texas-more than 500 miles-and
his horse was at that time tied to
one of the trees in front of the
main building.
when did you start on the trip?"
asked the secretary,
ION the first" the would-be stu
dent laconically replied.
Did you ride horseback all the
way?"
90 yes" was the answer. Come
out and look at my pony. We got
along fine till we struck Austin and
the street cars had pretty hard
time getting him past them. He had
never seen one Of those animals be-
fore"
The two went down to the front
steps together, where, tied to one OF
the ornamental trees in front of the
University was a tough little Span
ish pony, loaded with blankets,
slicker, tin cup, frying pan and 9th
er accessories of the camp. The
Young man bantered the secretary tC
buy his horse, proving that he was
good pony by the well known test
Of the COW man. He had spent
twenty-one days on the journey over
land to the University, camping out
over night, cooking his meals in the
open. and sleeping with his face to
the stars.
He became successful student
in the University and has, since that
time, graduated from college, and is
now a prominent and successful cit
izen in the state of Washington.

CLEAN UP DAY IN TEXAS.
March 18th Has Been Set Aside fof
This Purpose.

March 11tL has been set aside as
official clean up day and every
city and town of any size in Texas
will, metaphorically speaking, get
out with a scrubbng brush and
broom A great many cities in this
state are preparing to go at this
clean up" work in a most SYSTEM
attic manner Many mayors have
named committees to take the lead
in a section of their town and thus
insure that every part will be look
ed after carefully. But while the peo-
pie of the state are preparing to put
| a real spring polish on everything il
must be admitted that this move
ment is not the result of the activi
ty of the men. For some time thu
| women's clubs all over the stat
| have been clamoring for cleaner cit
les and towns and the general state
wide movement is due in large
measure to their efforts. In this
town cleaning, just as in the home,
when a woman equips herself with

goes forth with a dust pan and
broom cleanliness is the result. II Is

MEETING OF PROHIBITiONISTS.
County Rally to Be Held In WaNaha-
chic February 25th.

To the Voters and Friends of Prohi-
bition in Ellis County:
We desire to call your attention to
Saturday. February 25th, which has
been designated as rally day for pro-
hibitionists in every county through
out the state.
The legislature has finally sub
mitted the constitutional amend
ment 70 the vote of the people on
July 22nd. Can we do not say with
the poet
t This is the day we long have sought
And mourn because we have it not.
The day, when the friends of
good government, temperance ana
pure manhood shall measure
strength with the liquor traffic anu
it's defenders.
This battle of ballots will be de-
cisive contest in the history OF our
state. Upon its issue will hang our
destiny in all the years to come. On
that day Texas expects every man
to do his duty.
The enemy are already in the
field armed with poll tax receipts,
organized from the Red River to the
Gulf, and drilled to do their masters
| bidding
| But let us not be idle. We have
the votes, and if we will but bring
the thought of personal responsible
| ty home to our people they will do
| the rest.
Ellis county rolled up the biggest
majority for county prohibition ever
given by any county of the state up
to that time. Let us lead in the ma
| jority for state prohibition. We can
| do it, but it will take organization
and concert OF action. Let the issue
be clean cut, unmixed with other IS
sues or personalities, and let us, as
fellow citizens, act with the prompt
! ings of our better impulses for the
good of our homes, and we shall
| gain an overwhelming majority.
The state committee, headed by
| Hon. T. H. Ball, requests that pro-
hibitionists in every county meet at
their respective county seats on the
25th of February to organize and
take counsel for an effective cam
| paign. We take this occasion to urge
| Ellis county prohibitionists to meet
at the court house in Waxahachie at
230 p. m. on that day for the pur-
pose of organizing and taking such
other action as may be proper. Won
you come? The cause needs you. Re-
! member much depends on good
start. Don't forget the date, Feb. 25,
| 1911.
