her people.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating
laws.
The. laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the mos;
liberal, equitable and just any
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shal
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
taxation
Is light, our state ad valorum tax
is now 15 cents on the #100. and
our state school tax is 12j» cents
on the $100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the $100.
land.
Improved lands are worth from
$10 to $50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
roads.
Good roads reach into every sec
tion of the county and substantia
bridges span all streams.
education.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city o
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month each
year.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay'
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve}
mentb thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall oonsist of a lot or

thereon.
THE WAGES
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 16 of the con
stdtntion reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ng personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hns
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and all current
wages for personal services
To all single persons are re-
served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books be-
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
current wages for personal ser-
vices."
Wherever the people's homes
are safe there will patriots be
found. Hence tramps and beggars
are not so common among us as in
other countries.
cooke county.
Cooke is one of the northern tier
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory o"n
the north by Red river.
It is a splendid farming section
and is also well adapted to stock-
raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water.
Red river borders the county on
the north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
It now has a population of per-
haps 30,000.
railroads.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad runs through the county
from east to west and the great
Santa Fe system runs through
frou north to south.
a road is surveyed and will soon
be built from Gainesville north-
east to the coal mines at McAles-
ter, i. t.
gainesville,
The county site, is located ou the
Elm fork of the Trinity, six miles
south of Red river. It has a popu-
lation of about 10,000, and is a
busy, hustling, growing place. It
has eleven churches, six splendid
brick school houses, two good
flouring mills, an ice factory, an
iron foundry, the shops of the
Santa Fe railroad, a cotton com-
press, a broom factory, soap fac-
tory, cotton seed oil mills,
pressed brick works turning
out splendid brick, four
newspapers, three banks with a
capital and surplus of $650,000,
and various other enterprises.
It is a live place and men with
money or muscle can do no better
than to cast their lots here.
ARTISTS AND TRADESMEN.
Ha«l a
In thi» Karly Days the Former
Struggle to Live.
Among the artists resicleDt in Glas-
gow who had acquired before 1840 fome-
wli.it of a reputation Graham Gilbert,
lb r.itio Maccalloch and Daniel Maenee
are fiio.^e most widely known to general
fame. To these men fell the prizes of
the profession sneh as they were at that
time. Prices were then on a scale that
would not please the popular landscape
and portrait painters of today.
The smaller men—not very numer-
ous, it is true, and yet some of them
most deserving—liad a tolerably hard
struggle for existence and had to eke
out their income by other work than
that of regular picture painting. Mac-
ctilloch and Macnee themselves made
money in their younger days by decorat-
ing the lids of snuffboxes. The average
painter was frequently pretty much of a
bohemiaD, living from hand to mouth
and glad to clear off a tradesman's bill
by painting the portraits of the worthy
shopkeeper and his wife.
One of our best known artists tells
how on occasion in the long years ago
when he was engaged at a sitter's house
on the portraits of a successful clergy-
man and his family the dinner hour ar-
rived. He was not considered "genteel"
enough to be asked to take a place at the
table, but the mistress of the house
kindly sent to the parlor, where he was
working, a pate of stewed rhubarb to
keep him from wearying while the fam-
ily fed.—Magazine of Art

Glad to See Him.
New members of congress feel shy and
lonesome. To be thrust suddenly in
among almost 400 members, many of
whom they have never seen, and only a
few of whom they have ever heard of,
is rather a trying experience. To make
a speech under these conditions takes
some courage. James Kerr, ex-member
of congress from Pennsylvania, recently
told of his experience in going into con-
gress for the first time. He came down
from Pennsylvania raw and green. He
sat in his seat for several days, and in
that time managed to pick up a formal
speaking acquaintance with one or two
of his neighbors. One day he was sitting
in his seat, disconsolate, listening to the
reading of some tiresome bill, wlieu the
member who sat next to 5 m, who had
served two terms, came in like a breeze
and said cheerily:
"Hello, .Tim."
Mr. Kerr wheeled in his chair and
said eagerly:
"Say that again, will you, old man?
It sounds like home."
"Well, Jim, let's go down to Murray-
ville and talk about home."
The reference to Murrayville is unin-
telligible to the outsider, but Mr. Kerr
had learned by that time that the name
referred to the house restaurant, where
oysters and the cup that cheers were to
be had, and they wended their way
down stairs.—New York Tribune.
Mnklng the Sound of Iloof Beats.
In these days of war play$ and stago
realism the sound of hoof beats is worked
into pretty nearly every melodrama.
Very few people know how the effect is
produced, ar.d very few, too, could make
the noise right even if they had the ap-
paratus. It takes quite a lot of practice
to be a good "horse," as it is called.
The necessary outfit consists of a table
on which is a long marble slab covered
with rubber graduated from an inch
thick down to the tliinnoss of a piece of
paper. The operator has strapped to
each hand half a cocoanut shell, on the
edge cf which is fastened a horseshoe.
He starts in pounding them on the thick
rubber to imitate hoof beats in the dis-
tance and gradually works along to the
thin part as they are supposed to come
nearer, and finally ends up with a clat-
ter on the bare stones as the horse is
pulled up just outside the scene.
This is considered generally to be the
most effective of all the hoof beat ma-
chines.—New York Herald.
And Then He Proponed.
There had been a brief interval of si-
lence, and he felt that he ought to say
something.
"I see that the students of sociology
have figured it out," he began, "that
education"—
He paused as if in doubt whether he
ought to proceed.
"Yes?" she said encouragingly.
—"that education is having a bad ef-
fect upon matrimony," he continued;
"especially the education of women. "
"I never did believe in too much ed-
ucation," said she softly.
She waited for him to speak, but he
said nothing.
"I'm glad I never knew my lessons,
anyway," she added.
Some men are slow to take a hint,
but they are quick to understand when
they are hit with an ax.
He saw the point.—Chicago Post.
India Rubber Tree Fruit.
The fruit of the india rubber tree is
somewhat similar to that of the Riciims
communis, the castor oil plant, though
somewhat larger. The seeds have a not
disagreeable taste and yield a purplish
oil. It is a fairly good substitute for
linseed oil, though it dries less rapidly.
Mixed with eopal blue and turpentine,
it makes a good varnish. The oil may
be also used in the manufacture of soaps
and lithographic inks. The seeds are
somewhat like tiny chestnuts, although
darker in color. The Indian girls ar®
fond of wearing bracelets and necklets
made of them.
The Egyptian reed which was used
for making the pens found in Egyptian
tombs is a hard variety, growing to
about the diameter of an ordinary goose
quill. Pens made from it are said to last
for a day or two and do excellent work.
A florist, who claims to know, says
New York uses 80,000,000 roses and 15,-
000,000 carnations every season.
Palestine is about the size of New
Jersey, bnt more books have been writ-
ten about it.
