that their home was barricaded and
that two cannon guarded their front
door.
There were times when the cannon
were the only agencies of law and
order left in the country to help the
captain and his wife protect them
selves against the raids of organized
bands of desperadoes.
Fought Outlaws and Indians.
In the frequent clashes with out
laws one band of terrors in particu-
lar seemed determined that the
Kings were in their way and that
their property was too valuable to
leave in their possession. This band
was led by a noted outlaw chief nam
/ ed Cortinas. Several times Cortinas
proclaimed that he intended to con-
quer the owner of the King ranch
and drive him and his family from
the plains. Several times he made
the attempt, but each time the cOur-
age of the ranchman and his wife
behind the grim cannon caused his
bands to withdraw in disorder.
Christi angered at one of the re-
pulses Cortinas, proud of his power
and influence, announced that he
would seek revenge by attacking the
town of Corpus Christi, forty miles
away. and driving its residents from
their homes.
Many of the families of Corpus
Christi left their homes and sought
safety on the day of the proposed
raid. Only the men and the boys
were left to make determined stand
against the outlaws. The defenders
met the band of desperadoes near the
city at a place called THE Motifs, y
and a battle ensued. The outlaws
were routed after three of their num-
Der and a citizen had been killed.
Such were the events in the early
days of Texas, when the King ranch
was established. In spite of the diff
fculties and unsettled conditions
Captain King slowly added to his
ranch. The original tract was in
creased until the whole ranch in Neu
ces and Cameron counties comprised
100000 acres. All of it was stock
ed with Texas cattle. At the time of
his death Capt. King was reputed to
be the largest cattle owner in the
state.
Used UpAto-Date Methods.
Not content with owning the most
elaborate ranch house in the world
and revolutionizing the methods of
cattle raising in Texas Mrs. King has
increased her overseers again to
change the ranch business methods
by raising ensilage on the ranch with
which to fatten the CATTLE. so the
ranchers will get the profits which
hitherto have gone to NOrtherners
who fattened the cattle and prepared
them for the markets. Her son-in-
law, Robert J. Kleberg, is now in
charge of the business and will carry
out the plans outlined by his wealthy
mother-in-law, who gained her ex-
tensive knowledge by actual expert
ence.
The stock of the ranch now is of
an improved breed. Mrs. King owns,
it is said, the finest herd of short
horn cattle in the world.

Thomas displayed a heap of
good boxing ability. But last night
he. was just twice as good as he
was against the Fighting Carpen-
ter He was faster, hit straighter
and his blows carried more snap.
At range he boxed with the clever

he displayed all the famous quail
ties that made Joe Walcott buga-
boo to champions.
O'Keefe has two lightning fast
hands. but fast as he would jab

Thomas nine times out of ten beat
him to the punch. Joe didn't have
to block Tommy's leads. Instead
he simply got his own blows home
first, the best kind of guard II II
may be called such.
Thomas has as good pair or
legs as he has hands. He stepped
around O'Keefe as though he was
a bantam, and lefts and rights, some
straight and others hooked, kept
battering off O'Keefe's head and

How to Prevent tuberculosis.

In order to keep from getting tuber-
culosis, the first and most important
rule is to keep as strong and healthy as
possible. When the tubercle bacilli
get into the body or lungs of healthy
person they do not multiply but are
soon killed, while in the lung Of weak
or sickly person they increase in mum.
bers and produce tuberculosis. OF great
assistance in keeping well and strong
are quantities of fresh, pure air both in
the DAYTIME and at night, in the home,
in the school room, and in the work
room, together with proper food, clean
illness and temperance.
One can get fresh, pure air by keep.
ing out of doors as much as possible, by
keeping the living rooms during the
daytime well ventilated, and by keep
ing the windows of the bedrooms wide
open all night. Dust may be largely
avoided by cleaning with damp cloths
and brooms never use dry broom or
duster.)
Children should be taught not to put
anything in their mouths except food.
Putting pennies, coins, or playthings
in the mouth, or candy or chewing
gun which other children have had
in their mouths are dirty, dangerous
habits, and should be avoided.
Over indulgence in whiskey or other
forms of alcohol predisposes one to tu-
and the use of intoxicants of
any kind in tuberculosis is distinctly
injurious. Alcohol weakens the dody
80 that it cannot resist the disease
germs. Every person should take a
warm bath with soap at least once a
week, and if possible should have cold
bath every morning.
