1t was in the month of May, when
the incidents connected with my story
occurred. The Bracket family were
up bright and early, for Jimmie,
the ten-year-oid pet of the house,
hold, was going to take his first trip
TO the country, and he must have a
big sendAoff.
He was 10 make the journey all
alone, too, but the distance was not
so great and the train would stop in
sight of the JenkinS' home, where he
was going to spend a week with his
cousin. Henry, who would be sure
TO meet him at the station.
The trip was made in safety ana
Jimmie soon began to take in the sur
roundings. For the first time in his
life he saw the new-mown hay that
he had read about at school; and
SAW the hens nests with eggs in
them; the cows MIXED: the hands at
work in the fields, some with plQws and
some with hoes, and other farming
implements. A new world was OPEN
ing up before him. He was falling
in love with the farm.
He and his cousin went down to
the brook near by, and caught fine
strings OF perch and catfish. So de-
lighted was Jimmie that he wished he
could stay on the farm forever, and
ever. What seemed to strike him
as most remarkable was. as he
termed 1t, "a niger plowing with
cows"
Now, don't say that town boys are
worse than country lads; but Jimmie
just made up his mind one day that

thing that could make man happy,

they were jealous of one another.
From the moment they were born
they began to quarrel, and when they

daughter, whose name was Lena, and
she had a beautiful son. When the
babe was only two weeks old, the
cruel father took his daughter and

THE BEAR HUNT

I started out with Tom and Jim on
a bear hunt. Each of us had a gun,

three dogs. Suddenly | saw a bear
in front of us. I dropped to one knee,
and, Selling my rifle, pulled the trig-

Monterey, Mex, March 1O.-This
peaceful city and the state Of Nuevo

February 9, wien Felix Diaz began the
fight in Mexico City resulting in the
downfall Of the MaderO- regime. than
at any time during the past two years.
Peace has reigned in this capital but

to TampicO and MatamOras are all
that are operating.

There have been no trains cut OF here
over the line to Reata, COah., to con-
meet with the El6gle Pass route from
TorreOn except an occasional troop
train, nor between here and Saltillo,
