The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
hrows around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
>e its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
amilies, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
amily shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
turchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve-
ments 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
cousent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescrilKnl 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; j and all pretended sales o
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in
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 consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
the value of any improvements
thereon. * * *

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 most
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 wages
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 16 of the con-
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment.''
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
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 nse 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.

OOOKE COUNTY.
Cooke is one of the northern tiei
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory 011

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.

The county site, is located on the
Elm fork of the Trinity, six miles
