A tithe foot of • noble’ moun-
tain in Asia, stood • beautiful
cottage, and around it were
walks, shades and fruits, such
as were nowhere else to be found.
The sun shone upon no spot
more beautiful or luxuriant. It
was the home of Hased, the aged
and prosperous. He reared the
the cottage; he adorned the spot;
and here for more than four
score years, he had lived and
studied.
During all this time, the sun
had never forgotten to visit him
daily; the harvest had never fail*
ed, the pestilence had never des-
troyed, and the mountian stream
had never dried np. The wife
of his youth still lived to cheer
him; and bis son and daughter
were such as were not to be
found in all that province.
But who con insure earthly
fcappiness? In one short week,
Aased was striped of all his
joys. His wife looked cold, and
a quick fever followed, and Haz-
ed saw that she must die. His
son and daughter both returned
from thd burial of their mother,
fatigued and sick. The nurse
gave them, as she thought, a
simple medicine. In a few
hours it was found to be poison.
Hazed saw that they must die,
for the laws of nature are Axed,
and poison kills. lie buried
them in one wide deep grave,and
it (teemed as if in that grave he
buried his reason and religion.
He torefcisgray hair; he curs-
ed tho light of day, and wished
moon turned into blood. He
erieigned the wisdom of God in
hi$ government over this world,
'deMarlng that the laws wh ich he
hei OMUbliahsd were all wrong,
useless and worse than none.
Ho wished the world wus gov-
erfmd by ohance, or at least,
that at bis death he might go to
a world where there was no God
to ffx unalterablt laws. In the
center of Hazed’a garden stood
a beautiful palm tree, Under
this Hazed was sitting, the sec-
ond evening after he had dosed
the grave over his children.
Before him lay the beautiful
country, and about him all the
glorious heavens, and the bright
moon just pushing up her mod-
est face. But Hazed looked up
on all this, and grief swelled in
his throat ; his tongue murmured
and his heart was filled with
blasphemous thoughts of God.
As the night deepened, Hazed,
as he thought fell asleep with
a heavy heart, and when he sup-
posed he awoke it was jto find
him self in a new spot, all around
him was new, and as he stood
wondering where he was he saw
a creature approaching him
which appeared like a baboon,
but on its coming nearer he saw
that it was a creature resembling
a man but in every way ill shap-
ed and monstrous.

Fire Sweeps Creaky Ceeaty.
The big prairie fire which
swept Crosby county yesterday*
is pronounced by old timers the
most destructive fire that has
visited this country for mauy
years. From the most reliable
reports it seems that the fire
originated about three mile? east
of Estacado at the home of a Mr.
Peacock by sparks from the flue
blowing into his feed stacks,
which was completely destroyed,
A severe windstorm from the
west carried the head fire a dis-
tance of some twenty miles to the
east- The wind suddenly changed
to the north, and a head fire
twenty miles wide proceeded to
play havoc with everything be-
fore it. Much grass and feed
stuff was destroyed and many
horses and cattle suffered a se-
vere scorching.
Every man and woman that
was able made a hard fight, but
for which the town of Emma
would have been in ashes. The
following damages in and near
Emma are reported:
J. R. Ralls lost his line resi-
dence and all its contents; R. L.
Travis lost his barn,40x50 feet
with 12 foot wylls with about
2,000 bushels of Indian corn and
maize heads, 5,000 binds of sheaf
feed in the loft, some cotton
seed, some harness, a buggy,
wagon bed, a lot cf carpenter
tools, besides a small crib, three
plank corrals, 140 feet of wind
breaks, a pile of lumber, etc.,
amounting to $2,500 or more;
Rev- Richards lost his crib, feed,
meat, frnit, carpet, lots etc.; 8
J. Bennet loet his crib and hack
house, feed, heck, harness etc.;
J. C. Woody lost his barn, feed,
buggy, sheds and lots; W. N.
Bicknell lost a pile of lumber,
also some|lumber at the jail burn-
ed; George Witt and Billy Will-
iams both lost their feed stacks-
W. F. Strange lost Ins sheds
corrals’ feed sleeks, corn, e
wagon and seven head of cattle;
8. E. Stockton lost 500 bushels
of corn, one horse and hog: W.
1^ McLaugbiin lost all of his
bundled feed; Mr. Punchard lost
his barn, feed, harness, saddles
and a calf.
Of course there were other
losses as many residences caught
fire, and some business houses,
but were saved.—Crosbyton

- A Tribute to the Hea
We arc not in the habit of
thinking the ben is a very im-
portant factor in our lives; we
think of her as nice for Sunday
dinner and we are thankful to
her for her eggs, but when it
to considering her a member of
a great commecial enterprise we
fail to appreciate her. If the
hen were organized in a trust
she would be one of the world’s
greatest corporation. Listen t„
What she did in one state alone.
In Nebraska, hens laid 1,200,
000,000 eggs which were sold for
$1$,000.(H) If .liese eggs were
placed end to end they would
reach all the way around the
earth and then lap over 12,000
miles. Just think of a row of
eggs like that! If they could be
cooked an omellette it would
contain 025,000 cubic feet.
Now it is reasonable to sup-
pose that chickens were sold for
cooking purposes to at least half
the value of the eggs. This
would bring the total earnings
of the one ben in the one state
to the enormous figure of $27,000,
000 or $1,000,000 more than the
whdl wheat croD in the state.
It looks as though we would
have to take our hats off to the
lady.—Childress Post.
