It Is Dead
The Juncral of little James Roun-
tree son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Spauld-
tng was laid in the silent grave this
afternoon whither his little body was
followed by a vast concourse of sor
rowing friends. Little James was
born Nov. 15 1894 and dted yester-
day of membranous croup after an
illness of only a few days. He was a
bright pretty child and the vacancy in
the hearts and hotre he has left pro-
duces a pain and a sadness that only
the great healer can soothe and relieve.
The sj mpathy of a host of friends goes
oct to the bereaved' family in this
trying Miction.
At Denison the other night two ne
groes hetd up and robbed' Bruce Ruff
and in doing so shot him in the leg
they legged him instead of winging

TEACHING THEM ENGLISH.
Young Foreigners Taught Our Lan-
guage by Object Lessons.
The s'mple and effective method of
teaching English to the children cf
Italians Portuguese Polish and Ger-
man Jews used profitably in the
North and schools of Boston might
profitably be adopted by other cities
which are obliged to face the fact that
within their borders are thousands of
fore'gn children who know nothing of
the customs institutions or language
of this country. A writer in the Boston
Transcript thus describes the method:
The children within a few days after
their arrival are sent to the public
schools as a rule without compulsion
and here they are first of all taught
the English language. It'is done by a
system of object lessons. "The teach-
ers in the elementary rooms are young
women as men would not be patient
enough to accomplish the best results.
The teacher may point to her eye
and say: "This is my eye" repeat-
ing it several times and requiring the
pupils to repeat it in unison. Other
portions of the body are pointed out
in a similar manner and-then familiar
objerts in the room are in the same
way brought to the attention of the
children.
Later when they have made suffi-
cient progress in the language it be-
comes desirable to teach the different
tenses. To accomplish this a bpy or
gill is directed to run slowly around
the room when the teachers and child-
reasay inunuon:
'The boy is running' repeating the
sentence several tiroes. The boy is
then told to halt and the teacher and
pupils say in unison: "That boy did
run " Again: "That boy is standing
still" That boy can run;' "That boy
is walking." "That boy walks fast'
I can walk" "I can run" "I did
walk" etc -
These and other sentences as they
are spoken are written on the black-
board by the teacher and the pupils
write them on their slates. Thus they
are taught the language and taught to
spell read and write almost simulta-
neouily. Scorchers" are taken very seriously
in Philadelphia Magistrate Jermon of
that dty-having recently stated in the
case of two such offenders brought in
before him: "It is perhaps unfortu-
nate that no person was injured or
property destroyed as a result of their
careless riding or they would have
been subject t6 the act of March 31
t86o against furious racing or driving
the penalty for which is a fine not ex-
ceeding $500 and imprisonment not
exceeding five years." The men were
held in $800 ball for trial.
So Mrs. Bilker has got a divorcel"
'Yes; the discovered that Mr. Bilker
bad been hiding his small change every
nigh! under a flower pot in the back
yard."
XHK WIHXXlt OUTLOOK.
Some fears have been exptcsted
that the excess of tarn that has fatten
throughout this sccb'oii has done the
grass great injury and that the out-
look for the winter range was not t to-
gether as roseate as it was but a uhoit
time ago.
The Stockman has taken occasion
to ..interview some of our leading
stockmen on the subject and the opin-
ion generally expressed is that while
the rains have been excessive as yet
no real injury has been done the
range. Whether or not the grass will
be killed must of course depend on
future developments and it is not
thought (hat much damage has or will
be done.
F. M. Burns of Burns & Bell the
leading ranch supply house of West-
ern Texas and a man who has been
here a long time and who takes a
conservative view of matters generally
says the outlook for the winter is as
good as any man could desire. Cattle
are fat and wilt meet the cold weather
with tallow enough under their hides
to carry them through in good shape
even if grass should be nipped by the
cold.
Anothtr idea advanced by Mr.
Burns is that so rruch rain has already
fallen that early spriog grass is a sure
thing. Weeds are now growing that
usually come in winter and even if the
fall grass should be cut off there will
be plenty to carry ths cattle through
to spring.
Taking this view of the situation it
is apparent that no real necessity exists
for apprehension a.nong the" stockmen
of this section. The country gener-
ally is in better shape than it has been
in years and the man who is howling
about the dreary outlook is the same
fellow wno has heretofore been ready
to swear that the grass had all dried
up and was ready to be blown off.
West Texas stock in t tresis are all
right West Texas Stockman.
" THS ONE-HORSE GBAUGEB.
The one horse farmer has a longing
ambition to gain a reputation for wear-
ing a dirty shirt
He will alarm the neighborhood by
getting up two hours before day and
then sit around and not go to work
until eight o'clock.
He will ride around a week on the
hunt for a $2 hog.
He will complain of hard times then
tear his pants climbing the fence where
a gate ought to be.
He will pay $3 for a new bridle and
then let the calf chew it to pieces be-
fore Sunday.
He will get all his neighbors to help
in getting a cow out of the bog and
then let her die for want of attention.
Stock will get in and destroy his
corn at a place in the fence that he
has put eff fixing for six months-
He will strain his back lifting some-
thing to show how strong he is.
He talks all day Sunday on what he
knows about farming then ride around
the neighborhood on Monday hunting
seed potatoes.
He will go in his shirt sleeves on a
cold day to show bow much he can
stand then return home at night and
occupy two-thirds of the fire place till
bed time.
He will ridicule the mechanism of a
cotton planter and then go out and
smash his thumb trying to nail a board
on the fence.
He will go to town on Saturday and
come back with 50 cents worth of
coffee a paper of pins 1 worth ol
chewing tobacco and his hide full of
whiskey. He is economical economy
is his fort; he will save ten cents worth
of axle grease and ruin the spindle of
a $70 wagon. He won't subscribe for
a newrpaper but will borrow one from
bis friend and forget to return it. Ex.

t. We Indorse th r tlnctple ol the de-
mocracy u set forth In the platform of the
National Convention which convened atChl-
wro Juy f hnd reRe tQ W11m J' Brttn
and Arthur Scwall our united and cordial sup-
port for president and vlci-prcUdent.
a. We Indorse Ih lolo the platform of our
National Convention but we specially com-
mend and approve tfic declaration for an In
cometaxf opposition to the Issue of bond In
the time of peace against the power ol hanks
to Issue money for a larllT for revenue that
will operate without discrimination J against
classes or sections and for the free and un-
limited coinage of gold and silver at ihe ratio
of 16 to I with fU legal tender quality and
without reference to the action of other gov-
ernments. 3. We approve Indorse and commend the
administration of Gov. Culbeison and hiias
f octant as being economical wise and pa
triotlc Under them the government has been
administered efficiently and faithfully the
feesof office have been reduced $188000 an-
nually the general- expenses have been de
creased $33cco per year and freight charges
to the people have been lessened over $3000
000 since the railroad commission began op-
eration. It has paid off a deficit ol $788000
in the general revenue which was caused by.
the pamentofa portion of the public debt
the necessary construction and repair of public
Institutions and a reduction of the rate ol
taxation and yet conducted the government
at a less annual cost for general purposes thas
for the years 18711872 and 1873 including
bond issues of 1SS2 1SS9 and each year since
1S91. It has paid ofT a deficit in the school
fund of $547000 caused by an extraordinary
increase in the scholastic population and gen-
eral financial depression causing the inability
of the state to continue to sell and lease its
public school lands and to coll:ct interest
upon notes for lands already sold yet opera
ted the schools 4 6-10 months the past year.
and has provided a per capita apportionment
for the next j ear of $4 which will run the
schools 51-2 months. Notwithstanding the
rate of taxation has been increased to the old
rate in order to meet these deficiencies and
cany on the government the rate for all pur-
poses including schools is lower than far any
year from 1871 to 1SS2 and only half a cent
higher than for the years 1885 1SS6 and 1887
and lower than any state in the union except
three. The public institutions and various
departments have been conducted with energy
and ability the laws have been faithfully exe-
cuted and the fair name of the state protected
and preserved.
4. We pledge a continuance of economy
in the conduct of the government such further
reduction of expenses as may be found con-
sistent wtth efficiency and a strict enforcement
of the laws.
5. We demand a re-apportionment of the
judicial districts of the state to the end that
the labor of the judges may be equahred and
unnecessary districts abolished.
6. We demand that the legislature enfcet a
law requiring express companies to maintain
geneial offices within the limits of the state.
7. We indorse the reforms in our fee sjs-
tem recommended by Gov. Culberson and
demand that the fees of rouaty and district
offices be regulated by the enactment cf a law
similar to that which now regulates the com-
pensation of county treasurers with such tnod-
ificauons as wilt secure efficient public ten Ice
and be just alike to officer litigant and tax-
payer. S. The democratic party is the friend of
labor and the laboring man and (or the am-
ple and sufficient protection of the artisans
mechanics and laborers of our stale we de-
mand the passage of liberal law securing
them in the prompt payment of their wages
and providing tor fixing and enforcing liens
therefor
9. We demand such further amendments
to the present fellow-servant law as will attain
the purpose sought to be accomplished thereby
and as will p olcct employes of railway and
other corporaticos in their lives and against
injury.
10. The democratic party will contbue its
well established policy of disposing of ilit
public school lands of the state to those de-
siring homes so as to promote as far as prac-
ticable the settlement of the country and its
speedy development. To this end and that
the school fund nay be more speedily in-
creased from that source we favor such lega-
tion as will lacililatc the sale of such lands
rather thun the indefinate perpetuation of a
lease system.
11. We demand a reformation in bur
criminal laws. Among the reforms irapera
lively demanded 1 an amendment to the code
of criminal procedure authorizing the appel-
late court to presume that all matters of value
were proven on the trial that tte accused
pleaded to the Indictment and that the jury
was sworn unless such questions Were in issue
on the trialcourt and wcte there acted upon
before appeal; an amendment to article 725
code criminal procedure to the effect that the
appellant Court shall not be required to re-
verse a judgment unless a failure of the trial
court to observe the requirement of that ar-
ticle probably injured the defendantand de-
prived him ofn fair trial; and the correction
ol the evil professional jury service We fur-
thcruletnand thai our jury laws be revised and
that the number of exemptions from jury er.
vice be reduced and that In every criminal
case trUls shall be alike (air and Impartial as
between the state and the defendant and 10
thai end that the state have the same number
pf peremptory challenges allowed a defend-
ant. 13. We believe thatthe system of hiring
convicts to individuals or corporations is con-
trary to public policy aid should he ills-
eotilluued at the earlleit practical luouiem con

A Heal Wolf Child.
Readers of Kipling's "Jungle Bookj"
will be interested to learn that "Mot.
gli" the wolf child is no impossible
fancy but that a real wolf child like
Kipling's wolf has been discovered in
India. He antedates Kipling's well
child too for this real woll boy wis
discovered in 1867. Some natives
pursuing a stray wolf came upon a
curious looking object half humin
halt wolf which sprang into the cie
when they approached. They cap
tured it and found it to be a wolf bor
about a year old. It was named
"Sanichat" and was sent to an or.
phangc to be trained as a human be-
ing but with little success. He suH
lives and is only half human. He
eats his food from the ground with hit
teeth runs chiefly on all fours acd
will wear little or no clothing. A doc-
tor who has seen him says that hu
head is small his brow uncommonly
low and contracted while his ees are
gray restless and squinting. He hu
a small wrinkled face on which are
scars marks doubtless of severe bites
received from animals. He standi
partially covered with thick hair. He
has never been able to tell his story
so his birth and his life among the
wolves remain a mystery.
The man who is not willing for an-
other man to have a political opinion
and express it has not sense enough to
be turned cut in the roughs with a
Mexican billy goat.
