heap Of tax money on cattle
according 10 reports. don =

the assessors or the carclessues-
Of the stockmen. but they sho

them office holders may no,
need the money. Any way this
here discrepancy between what
them collectors got an wha;
they missed showed up whcr
the L. :. government agent
went to buying up them drouth
cattle.
Seems like the governmen
buyin program has taken nearly
an the cattle listed on the tax
rolls Of Tom Green county. an
the fcllers paying the feed bills
can hardly miss 'em Seem
like they got a heap more cattl
left in the county than the taN
rolls showed an them assessors
are wondcrin' where they have
been kept an that ain't a very
brushy county either. Ranch

Der Of cattle them official i.
thought was on the ranges, and
that had been rendered for tax
alton On January | f, 1884, only
2l,OS6 head were rendered. Up
to December 26 about $4,000
head had been bought by the
government an the ranchmcn
had listed 5000 head for sale
20 the gov rnment, or over
twice as many as had been ren
dercd for taxation, which is q
plumb scandalous difference
With only 20 per cent Of the
herds estimated sold, there
should toe four-hfths, or about
$4,000 head left in the county
Now the sheep fellers didn't
do SO much better about tellin'
the county officers the whole
truth an nothin' but the truth
about the number OF them
woolies they had. The tax rolls
show 200. $50 sheep. while offer
ings 10 the government was over
800, 900 head and it was esti-
mated there was still on hand
in the county $4,000 head. not
countin' the herders.
And then comes them billy
goat folks. They acknowledged
10 the assessor that they had
only 2,960 Of them long whisk-
cred, bad smellin' rascals that
atup good saddle leather when
they get a chance. Well, them
goat herders sold only $4,000 to
Uncle Sam an it is estimated
they still got SO, 900 left on the
range.
Now, | was brought up on

better than to call one OF them
fellers a liar, whether he's a
cowman, sheepman or follcrs

sceptical about the veracity Of
some folks II Tom Green county,
an I'm smilin' while write it
too. I've knowed Texans that
could count right good, when
they couldn't read a bit, but
seems like them boys down there
just can't count any at ALL

Solution to PreUi0uS
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge Lea gE

Secretary American Bridge League
MANY players are possessed with
4VA the idea that they must not
allow their opponents to play con-
tract at one.
For example, in today's hand
South opens the bidding with one
heart and the next two players pass
l know that there are numerous
players who would keep the bidding
open with East's hand, but why
should they?
When you first pick up East's
cards, the suit you hope to hear
your partner bid is hearts, and now
the opponents have bid it. You know
that they can not be in their beS,
contract, so why interfere with the
bid? Let them play it at one heart.
Do you know that smart players
often pass a partners bid just be-
cause they know that the next hand
will keep the bidding open. and be-
fore the bidding closes the player
who kept the bidding open will
usually find himself trapped
However. the point I want 70
bring out in todays hand is, even
though you find yourself in what
you think is bad contract. do not
become discouraged. Play the hand
for all the tricks that are in it.
Naturally. any South player who
opens the bidding with heart and
buys the contract for that, will wish
that he were playing the hand at
one no trump. so that he could
count his $50 aces. When Or. Rich

whether she had any part in its
upbringing or not, when in reality
the thing that begets mother love
is the care of the child and its de-
pendence upon the mother.
The reason your plot makes
such a wide appeal is that it's fo5-
tiers the universal wish of all hu-
man beings to be the recipient of
undying love which asks nothing
in return. The mother is the
most powerful symbol Of this wish
because it was in her being that
the individual experienced an
effortless existence for the first
and only time in his life.
If, in spite of my doubts, the
story is true. in my opinion the
mother should leave her son in
peace and not subject him to the
stigma Of illegitimacy or cause
him to have a painful revulsion
OF feeling against his father. 1t is
mistake to assume that he will
love his own mother at first sight
simply because she gave. him
birth. or that he will leave the
only mother he ever knew for her
sake. The foster mother has done
a far more worthy and difficult
thing in devoting "a years to his
care than his natural mother did
in the mechanical act of giving
him birth. The foster mother has
already given him the only educa-
ton which really counts in the
early years of his life. 1t is sad but
true that the kindest thing his
real mother can do is to leave the
boy alone.
Dear Jane Jordan-I have beer
married IA years and I am the
mother of four sons. For u years
I had a true husband although he
would come home drunk and I took
it on the chin. Two years ago
found there was another woman in
his life and have forgiven him on
his promise that it would not hap
pen again, but I am not satisfied in
my home any more. Every time he
goes away I think he is with her
Do you think if I would get a
housekeeper and go TO work that it
would help ease my mind?
MRS. NJ. A. c.
AnSWer-That would deDend
upon how interesting your task
proved to be and how well you
succeeded at what you were do
ing. You are thinking in the
right direction in planning to
fill your life with other things so
that your husband does not fill
your whole existence. Then. too.
a rafting good temptation would
dc you good. You might not feel
so .huch horror for your hus-
bands behavior.

Do YOU think I should tell him
or let things stand as they are?
After struggling to get to the top 1
think I should tell the world for
once and forever that am his
mother. I would not want to hurt
him. but how can one go on day in
and day out loving some one who
thinks he is living with his real
mother? I drive past the house very
often and wonder if he would IN
derstand if I would tell him. l think
I deserve some kind of compensation
after all these years. I am not yet
40 and we could travel and make up
for the lost years. Do you think this
would work out? LONESOME.
Answer-Once in every so often
letter comes which sounds more ike
a page from a confessional mag
azine than a chapter from life. 1t
is not that I doubt that such
things happen; it is the reactions
of your characters which DO not
ring true. Many a 15-year old
Girl has had a baby whose father
was a married man. Usually a
man irresponsible enough TO
tamper with a girl so young is
not responsible enough to assume
the care Of the baby. nor would
the average wife wish 10 take the
child as her own.
Waive these objections and the
story still falls apart when We try
10 imagine so young a mother
cherishing a deep emotion for her
child over a period of years with
out any association with that
child whatsoever. 1t is a favorable
concept OF the human mind that
a mother always loves her child
