In the dead of night or the blaze Of
noon;
That once let the herd at its breath
take fright,
Nothing on earth can stop the flight;
And woe to the rider, and woe to the
steed,
Who falls in front of their mad STAN
pede
Was that thunder? | grasped the
cord
OF my swift mustang without word.
sprang to the saddle, and she chung
behind.
Away! on hot chase down the wind!
But never was fox-hunt half so hard
And never was steed so little spared
For we rode for our lives. You shall
hear how we Jared,
In Texas, down by the Rio Grande!
The mustang flew, and we urged him
on,
There was one chance left, and you
have but one
Halt, jump to ground, and shoot your
horse;
Crouch under his carcass, and take
your chance;
And If the steers in their frantic
course
Don't batter you both to pieces at
once,
You may thank your star; if not,
goodbye
TO the quickening kiss and the long
drawn sigh,
And the open air and the open sky.
In Texas, down by the Rio Grande!
The cattle gained on us, and, just as
felt
For my old six-shooter behind in my
belt,
Down came the mustang, and down
came we,
Clinging together, and-what was the
rest?
A body that spread itself on my
breast,
Two arms that shielded my dizzy
head,
Two lips that hard on my lips were
prest;
Then came thunder in my ears,
AS over us serged the sea of steers.
Blows that beat blood into my eyes,
And when could rise
Lasca was dead,
| gouged out grave few feet deep.
And there in Earth's arms I laid her
to sleep;
And there she is lying, and no one
knows,
And the summer shines and the win
ter SHOWS;
For many day the flowers have
spread
A pail of petals over her head;
Ana the little gray hawk hangs aloft
in the, air,
And the sly coyote trots here and
there,
And the black snake glides and gilt
tiers and slides
into rift in a cottonwood tree;
And the buzzard sails on,
And comes and is gone,
Stately and still like a ship at sea;
And | wonder why DO not care
For the things that are like the things
that were.
Does half my heart lie buried there
In Texas, down by the Rio Gr;,nde?

NUTRITIOUS OYSTERS

Oysters are not classed among tho most
rour,shiny of foods, but they are the most
ess,l, tligested Of ali animal foods when
eaten raw, or when properly cooked One
of our first rate authorities says: Speaking
roughly, quart Oi oysters contains on
an average about the same quantity Ot
actual nutritlve substance as quart OF
milk or three-fourths OF a pound of beef
or two pounds of fresh Goldfish, or pound
of bread. This same authority also adds
that the nutritive substance of oysters
contsins considerable proteit and energy
yielding ingredients Oysters come nearer
10 milk than most any other common food
Material a. regards both the amounts and
&he relative proportions of nutrients.
We also arc taught that the older the
oyster Is the more nutrition It furnishes.
In other words, IL we buy a quart of old
oysters we will get better value for our
money than II we buy young oysters
The only trouble is that we art not told
how to pick out the old ones. That seems
20 be the trouble with many scientific
articles on loodstuffs. The practical
spplicatlons arc forgotten.
Dresden Oysters Chop two dozen
large oysters, mix with a tablespoonful
of melted butter. an unbeatened egg,
one-thlrd Of the bulk of bread crumbs,
q tablespoonful oil choppd parsley ana
q little onion juice. Season With salt,
