a tired and abused soil Our fight against
the deStroyers has failed. We have been out

fighting the green worm and the weevil that
played havoc with our cotton crops for time,
a harder stronger and a more destructive

fear of the new enemy the growing Of cotton

Der, and all succeeded in gaining it except one
cow which Mr.. Pitt disabled with well aimed
shot from his derringer; before she could make
her retreat TO the timber Uncle Seth rode up
and finished her.
One by one the balance of us returned from
our unsuccessful pursuit of the others, and we
all gathered round the carcass OF the COW Mr..
Pitt and Uncle Seth had killed. After awhile
Guido made his appearance on the field, but
before he got within thirty yards of u.s. his
horse caught sight of the buffalo lying on the
ground, and wheeling suddenly, ousted him
from the saddle. Fortunately his head struck
first and of course he was not hurt; he soon

his horse and looked with longing eyes at the
huge mass of fat buffalo meat lying upon the
ground, cts a pity to leave so much good beef

Continuing our route up the valley, which
became more wild and picturesque the farther
we went. we travelled on until about noon, when
we halted in a grove on the banks Of the Sab
inal, to rest our horses and let them pick
little grass. Just opposite to where we stopped,
the beavers had built dam across the creek.
and upon examination we found that their work
had been done strictly according to scientific
principles, so as most effectually to resist the
pressure of the water and force of the current
at any rate, so said Mr.. Pitt, who had been
a practical engineer himself. Inside OF the
dam the houses in which the beavers lived were
built. the tops only being visible above the sur
poles, and plaStered with what appeared to be
a mixture of mud and grass. We noticed that
nearly every sapling (and some trees of con-
siderable size) about the pond, had been cut
down for "house logs

over our crops Of wheat oats, corn and cotton,

of young men and women who go out every

great school of life. You may speak OF the
many wonderful transformations but there IS
no transformation worthy to that worked out
by the patient teachers and the school rooms

epoch of their lives | have thought much OF

These young women and men are truly the

WORMS As a rule its the little things of
life that give US most trouble. AT
this writing the two houses of the Legislature
are in session at Austin. The lawmakers are
in the Capital City against their wills. People
who have been to Austin know how hot It is
there in the summer time. And then the law
makers have farms, businesses and political
fences at home they would gladly be giving
their attention And why are the lawmakers
at Austin? Worms. A fuzzy, hard-hearted,
insignificant worm has called the representa-
tives Of the people to their Capital City and
placed before them a problem that challenges
their best thought and most serious consider
alton. Old worm is an enemy that gives man
kind a fight all the way through life. Perhaps
the first enemy humanity meets is the worm.
Humanity cries for time, turns pale and yell
low but finally, with the help of vermifuge and
other weapons of unpleasant taste and memory,
wins a temporary victory. But like the Philis-

very much to cast our lines into it, but just
then we were on the lookout for more exciting
sport.
The Buffalo Hunt
About mile beyond this pool, where the
valley was wider perhaps than at any other
point. Uncle Seth who was riding ahead, sud
denly came TO a halt and pointed out to us half
a dozen buffalo that were grazing IN the VI
cinity of the largest body of timber we had
seen in the canon.
'Now," said he, II think it's time we had
a taste of bufferlo hump and ribs, and eff we
manage right I'm purity sure we kin git one OF

and by keeping yon little mot bertwiXt them

The buffalo were perhaps half mile from
us. and moving along cautiously. Riding in the
direction of the mot mentioned by Uncle
Seth. which hid US from view, we turned di-
rectly towards them, and advanced at a brisk
gallon The buffalo did not notice US until we
had passed the mot and were within three
or four hundred yards Of them. Then the race
began in earnest, the buffalo heading for the
timber and we following them "helter SHELTER
as fast as we could urge our horses on with
whip and spur.
"The bufferlo is nifty deceivin' animule to
git over the ground" as Uncle Seth would say.
To look at them from a distance when running,
you would suppose they were making but little
Roadway, but when in pursuit of them, not
withstanding their awkward, numbering gait,
you would soon find that it takes a good horse
to come up with them. especially when going
down hill or over rough and broken ground.
In this chase, however, as we were all well
mounted, and as the buffalo had not much the
start of us, we soon closed on them and gave
them fuSiage from our guns and pistols,

 In the semi-finals Fleming and De- Grut defeated Williamson and Leigh ton Bledsoe. and BToughton and Bey- CT won from Pelton and Nouman in a close fight in which every point was hotly contested.
 Purchas and Elsing were defeated in the morning by Pelton and Notman after playing very pretty game, one Of the sets going 12-10 in favor of the latter
 Boyd and Sutter had chance al the winners in the morning but, the Judge wasn't up to his usual form and often swurg at the ball that >wasn't where it should have been.
 Thomas Cowan and Robert Burns extended every effort, without avail, ito defeat L. Bledsoe and John Will iiamson. To an onlooker it appeared >that Cowan and Burns carried too much avordupois. Cowan used up much energy talking to the ball.
 A large audience witnessed the games which were interesting from the time the games stared until fin Ished.
