to Abilene, on the west, and the other
to Chetopa and Baxter Springs, on
the east. We reached the Kansas line
about the first of December, when the
quarantine against Texas cattle was
raised, and thus we were permitted
by quarantine officers to go straight
ahead without delay.
"On the trail at that time one big
herd went right after another, keeping
a mile to a mile and a half apart, so
as to prevent the cattle from mixing.
Each outfit always sent men ahead
to ascertain when they could cross
tho rivers, and where to secure graz-
ing ground. The native grasses were
so luxuriant that, notwithstanding the
vast herds moving, cattle fattened as
they went. Longhorns had many very
strange traits, one of which was to
stampede without any ascertainable
cause. Often when they were peace-
fully lying down chewing their cud,
and all nature seemed to be in repose
they would of one accord leap to their
feet and away, as if beset by swarms
of hornets and run for ten or twelve
hours together. When the cattle start-
ed, it was up to the men and horses
to keep out of the way. Trained
horses knew what to do. It was their
business to keep the cattle milling,
that is, constantly changing their di-
rection, running ahead of them and
turning them. I was fortunafe in hav-
ing a horse that had been captured
from the Indians. All I had to do was
to stay in the saddle. He did the
rest, and seemed to glory in it.
“The Hoovers were among the first
if not, indeed, the first, to make an
attempt to grade up the native cattle.
They came to Texas from Ohio in the
fifties, I think, and brought with them
some good cattle. But the work that
they and a few others had begun was
interrupted by the war, and it was
not until along in the eighties that
cattle began to show any improve-
ment. After that, the native cattle
began to draw in their horns.

Florida Lady Was ia a Miserabk

Cardni Helpful, and
Got WdL
Altha, Fla.—In explaining how she
found Cardui so helpful during change of
life, Mrs. Ella M. Bailey, of Route 2, this
place, said:
"I became so weakened it was an effort
for me to get around. I knew what was
the matter, but I felt like I couldn't give
up.
"1 just dragged, and I certainly was
nervous. I was so restless I could ml
sit down long—yet so weak I coukhrt
get about, it is a most miserable and
such a helpless feeling.
"1 would get depressed and out of
heart.
"I began to feel, after awhile, there was
no use to toy to get well. This is si
wrong, for it makes a person worse.
"I had heard olCardui. and thought M
might strengthen me. A neighbor hat
used it with good results.
"I took one bottle (of Cardui), thea 1
saw 1 wasn’t so nervous, so kept it ap>
“Gradually the nervousness left me.
I began to eat and sleep better. Was
soon well, and aU right. Cardui dit
wonders for me, and I certainly tt
recommend it.”
Thousands of other women have •■I-

ed by taking Cardui, and to rcconuneai
