Ft. Houston. Palestine, Texas.
“After nearly sixty years In
harness, the freedom and inde-
pendence of farm life are appro*
dated in a way Almost beyond
imagination,” said Judge Rea-
gad. “Here I can feel the pleas-
ure of being absolutely my own
master,’* and the Judge indioated
with a wave of his hand a field
of nodding corn.
In the peseefulneea end quiet
of Ft. Houston, his country horns
near Palestln#, Uvss in demo-
cratic simplicity, John H. Reagan,
tbs man of the people. Since
his retirement from the stirring
eoeme of active political life he
has devoted his energies to the
management of his farm end to
his book of memoirs, the manu-
script for whioh has bean recent-
ly completed. The ohange has not
been without its reward. Though
naturally somewhat enfeebled by
the weight of his advanced age
his eye is as bright,. the tinge of
hisoheekas healthful and ruddy,
and his mind apparently as act-
ive as when his voice reverbera-
ted through the Senate chamber
a desen years ago. The rheu-
matism from which he formerly
suffered, troubles him ho longer
and the lack of restraint of his
present open sir life has seem-
ingly infused new blood into his
veins.
His horns, Ft. Houston, whioh
stands near the iite of old Fort
Houston, is a typicsA old fash-
ioned Southern residence, with
its broad balls and spacious vine-
covered (porticoes, suggestive of
peace and comfort.
Judge (Reagan’s farm includes
altogether about 800 acres, but
only about 300 acres are in culti-
vation. The crops grown are
corn, cotton, oats, peas and
sweet and Irish potatoes. For
family use there is a three-acre
orchard of peaches, pears, plums
and other fruits and also a small
vineyard, la another orchard,
planted for commercial purposes
are about 46 acres of thrifty
young peach trees, chiefly El-
bertaa.
Besides the accessary horses
and mules for farm work there is
a hard of about 60 Devons in
which Judge Reagan takes spe-
cial interest. “It is the only
Devon herd that I know of in this
section,” he remarked, “though
the breed ia a very old one. In
faot the wild cattle of early Eng-
land were Devons, and Ciesar in
his Commentaries, speaks of
Devon bull that was aent from
Britain to Rome after the inva-
sion.**
To hid hogs, cross-bred Poland
Chinas and Berkshire*, the ven-
erable statesman likewise gives
attention. “A good many years
ago,” he said, ''people who
passed the farm, noting the size
and weight of my hoge, would
frequently stop to inquire what
breed they were. My reply was
that they were of a breed that

and before the sun begins to
tfarqw its light across the hiUe he
is out giving direotiona to the
negro farm hands and seeing
that the cows and the pigs are
given proper attention. After an
early breakfast he ie ready for the
day's business, whether it be to
devote himself to the study of
political problems in bis spacious
library, to look after the work in
tbs fields or to give his time to
thejentertainment of s guest—for
the open handed hospitality of
ante-bellum days is fully exem
plifled in tbs home of Judge Res
gan to-day.
JUDGE REAGAN TALKS.
“My ideal of the highest type
of man? Well, I should say that
he is s man who reoognises his
God, loves his follow man—and
votss the Democratic ticket,”
said the Judge, a twinkle coming
into his eye as he added the last
qualification.
“For a young man to-day 1
should say that engineering in
ts various branches and railroad
work offer the greatest fields for
remunerative employment in the
South. Tho returns from tho
: arms are not sufficient to make
it very attractive from a moneta-
ry standpoint now and 1 do not
cok for great improvement until
we are able to do away with the
unlawful monopolies and trusts
and to prevent the taxing bf the
agricultural masses, by means of
he tariff laws, for the benefit of
the manufacturing classes. f
“Farm life, however, is the
most free, independent existence
n the world, as well as the moot
leslth giving. The man on the
arm is his own man—not some
other man’s'man. He is not at
1 ,he beck and call of his master as
the young man win* goes to a
city or town to take up a little,
elerkship in a store or an office,
or to work in a factory. And as
for the professions, there are
more lawyers to-day than there
is legal business to support them,
and we are turning out hundreds
of others every day. The doc
tors find themselves almost as
isdly crowded,,so medicine does
not offer very flattering Induce-
ments.
