CATTLE "RUSTLING" IN
TEXAS ON INCREASE
STOCK REPORT SHOWS

RI Paso. Texas, July 1.-THE ro-
nance of cattle rustling--,he prac-
tice of riding into the night and
driving across the national boun-
dairy with flying herd of stolen
cattle-of which o. Henry wrote,
does not appeal to the Panhandle
and Southwestern Cattlemen's AS
sociation. Cattle rustling has been
on the increase in the last year or
so, lawlcss characters attracted to
the southwest by the disturbed con-
ditions along the border finding it
both exciting and remunerative.
The annual report of the Cattle
mems Association shows that the
rustling is looked upon with high
disfavor by the cattle owners who
are about to take steps to stop it.

/ Dor is no place for bores; they
thrive best in far more oppressive
atmospheres.
Endless variations suggest them
selves. Are YOU fond of the s. ,uc-
| tive plash of a fountain? Here you
may have one of your own delight
and it may be as intimately individ
ualistic as you please. About this
fountain you may build your little
realm of dream, with the comfort
ing murmur of the trickling water
as the keynote.
If you have thought in time, the
rear walls of your dwelling may
well be so executed and adorned as
to further the effect you intend to
achieve in the little plot of ground
in their shadow. a bit OF balcony
or gallery, not too large nor too
high, that it may not overshadow
this bit OF beauty yov propose to
redeem from the sordid, may be just
the touch YOU wish. And the pos
slbillties, practical and sentimental,
of French windows opening upon
this private fairyland of yours-isn't
1t an alluring prospect?
Private fairyland? Yes, if you
wish. Yours is the magic touch
that can work your own will most
pleasantly here. The front of your
house, surrounded by grounds or
not, is no more yours than your
neighbors'. You, perforce, conceded
to the man across the street, and
to the opinion of another next door,
m the matter of presenting an at
tlce front. They, when all is said
and done, decide. But in the back
yard-that prosaic, sordid. desolate
region, forgotten alike by the world
and your neighbor, you can work
your will and there is no public
opinion to say you nay. Here, in
deed, may you plant your own vine
and umbrella tree-and here you
may take your ease-such ease as
was never in an inn.

Training Little Children

By Mrs. John Henry Hammond.
The other day was rcciting to
my little S-year-old son the old
nursery rhyme:
Here am |, little Jumping Joan.
When nobody's with me. I'm "a
ways alone"
What does that mean" asked
the child.
why, when nobody's with you,
aren't you always alone" | ques-
toned.
NO" he replied, because God is
always with me-
How shall we measure the signifi-
cance of this early realization of our
Fathers presence everywhere? For
with the knowledge that God is
present to help at all times, our chill
dren lose the sense of fear-and
there is no greater lesson that we
can impart to them. From earliest
infancy we can begin to awaken in
our children the sense of the all
presence OF God.
Froebel, in his Mother Play"
series OF songs and games which he
devised as illustrative of how
mother should play with her chill
dren, always seeks to make her
look from the things which are seen
and temporal to the things which
are unseen and eternal; the father
is to manifest as much patience and
love toward his little ones as to make
the transition OF idea from the
earthly to the heavenly Father sim
pie and natural. The child is to be
trained to look upon himself as nee
eSsary and responsible part of
great whole, and to be taught that
the whole can only be as strong as
the weakest link. This is the basic
thought of all true community con-
sciousness. And from his earliest in
fancy he is to be taught to show
gratitude to all who aid in minister
ing to his needs.
In these days, when so much is
written about sense testimony, and
SO much is done to meet the physical
and mental needs of our children
both In the home and at school there
IS 4 tendency to forget the teach
lngs OF Froebel and to give our chill
drcn only partial education, All edu-
cation which stops short of their
spiritual needs.
A momentous question. and one
which all partnest must answer in
dividually, is do we want our chill
dren to be merely healthy little an
imals with a certain amount of su-
perticial learning, or do we wish TO
develop their deeper natures so that
one day they may be able to take
their place in the world, and through
their spiritual insight into things, be-
come powers for good in the COM
lty = For parents cannot turn over
their own responsibilities to the
teachers and expect them to lay the
foundations of character. The home
is the place where this must be done
and 1t is for us to prove to our chill
dren that it is only as we are good

GOODBYE, I'LL MEET YOU
IN BERLIN, CAPTURED
LIEUTENANT CRIES

St. Louis, July ll.-"Goodbye
III meet you in Berlin"
According to members of the
crew of the President Lincoln this
was the parting word by Lieuten-
ant lsaacs when he was captured
by the Germans following the tor
pedoing of the steamship President
Lincoln by a German submarine.
Theodore Moorman and Elmer
kuhs, both members of the Presi-
dent Lincoln crew, recently Wis
tied their parents in St. Louis and
told graphic story of the sinking
of their boat. Their reference to
Lieutenant Isaacs was particularly
apropos because press dispatches
recently have told that lsaacS is
now a prisoner in camp at karls-
rhue.
Moorman and Kuhs both paid
tribute to the bravery OF Lieuten-
ant Commander Lind, St. Louis
man, who was the executive Off
Ger of the steamship. He did not
leave the boat. they said, until it
went down and was picked up aft
or he had floated for more than an
hour, clinging to a hatch door.
1t was quite by accident that
Lieutenant Isaacs was captured and
Captain Foote, in command of the
boat. was not taken by the Ger
mans.
"The officers took off their uni
form coats and rolled them up,
slowing them out of sight" said
Kuhs. Then they donned ordinary
seamen's blouses. Lieutenant
Isaacs was seasick and did not re-
move his coat. He was leaning
over the side of the boat when the
U-boat commander caught sight of
his insignia.
"Where's your captain" he
asked. We told him that Captain
Foote had gone down with the
boat. He then took Isaacs off"
Moorman said that the gun
crews. unable to fire at the sub
marine for fear of hitting a sister
transport, fired parting salute to
Old Glory and then took to the

THE FIRST DARK HORSE"
How the Term Now so Common in
Politics Came into American
Parlance.

Peoples Home Journal: The
dark horse" in politics is the sue
cessor OF a genuine dark horse that
won race in which he was sup
posed to have no chance for victory.
In early days in Tennessee, there
was an old man named Sam Flynn,
a very good Judge OF horseflesh,
who usually owned an animal that
could show a bit of speed. At one
time Mr.. Flynn possessed a big
black horse named Dusky Pete, a
thoroughbred and very fast. 1t was
tlynns' practice to go to a neigh
borhood where he was not known,
ride Dusky Pete into town as if
he were an ordinary mount and en-
ter him in one of the races that
were the daily sport OF the frontier
communities. Dusk Pete always
won.
Mr.. Flynn arrived at one town
just before a big race and entered
his horse as usual. There were sew
eral local favorites in the contest
and Mr.. Flynn had no trouble in
betting all his money on his own
horse at long odds. Just before the
race Judge McMinamee, a turf fol-
lower arrived and was persuaded to
act as judge of the contest. Some of
the horsemen described the various
entries and laughingly pointed out
the foolish stranger who had bet
all his money on his old nag. Judge
McMinamee at once recognized
Dusky Pete and his owner and re-
Gentlemen, there's a dark
horse in this race that will make
some OF you sick before night"
Judge McMinamee's prediction
was fulfilled and dark horse" as a
byword has found a permanent place
in the parlance of American poll
tics.

EDITED BY NOBLE FOSTER HOCGSON
PRESIDENT hOCCsoN BROTHERS BUILDERS

We live too much indoors, when
in town, we Americans who dwell
north of the Mason and Dixon line
Though i'll most cities of the Unit
ed States there are five and six and
seven months of the year when an
outdoor retreat is a thing to be de-
sired, most of us haven't the re-
treat habit at all Those of us who
do take the air at home i'll town do
so in the glare and blare of the
street rather than under our own
vine and umbrella tree, back of the
house, far from the streets heat
and dust and tumult.
Our error is that neither those Of
us who own, nor those OF us who
build for others, consider the back
yard living space, when in truth
it has possibilities of comfort and
pleasure beyond those OF the front
of the premises, even where the city
has not squeezed itself too tightly
to allof for that rapidly vanishing
The ordinary backyard is hor-
ror, but close your eyes a moment
to Danish the waking vision OF
clotheslines, blank, dingy walls,
damp walks and struggling grass.
Let creeping ivy cover those ugly
walls, and if there be outlandiSh
outbuildings let the same kindly
fingers weave garlands to cover
them. Let the old wooden fence
give way to hedge of box, and
suit your own fancy as to whether
your own particular corner of this
transformed desert shall be shelter
ed alike from human eyes and the
sun by an arbor of vines, droop-
ing willow, or spreading umbrel-
la tree.
Having gone this far you will as
suredly permit flowers of many col
ors to border and soften that scar
which you are wont to call a walk.
And over there is bit of space
which is longing for grass-not
struggling grass, but well nurtured
well watered, well cropped lawn,
if it be only a space so large as
the floor of bedchaDbcr. By all
means let theer be grass.
Simple, now, isn't it?
Let fancy lead us step further
in the Transformation. The nook
which, for you, is to be the very
heart of this garden, is covered, we
will say, by an arbor. A curtain
