TEXAS CATTLE IN AFRICA.
It is gratifying to note that the
Texas cattle shipped to Atrica are
doing well in that country and
thus far they stand that climate
equally as well if not better thau
cattle native of that country.
United States Consul W. Stanley
Mollis at Lourenzo, Marquez, has
ust forwarded to the department
of commerce and labor the follow-
ing article from the Gold Fields
Sews concerning the importation
of Texas cattle:
From the coast plains of Texas
to Eelagoa Bay is a far' cry, but
applied science has in these days
obliterated distance and enables
the astute man of commerce to
draw his supplies from the ends of
the earth, the mere question of
mileage being one of the minor
conditions m the probjem ot trans-
port. Texas, as the state which
ranks first m the union is the
breeding of cattle, naturally sug-
gested itself as the source of sup-
ply, and the success of the first
two shipments has been so con-,
spiciously encouraging that the
company is following up its re-
recent arrivals, numbering 4050
head of cattle, with seven more
consignments, whioli will bring to
tbe88 shores 8,300 more. With a
view to indicating what is really
the birth of a new branch of the
trade, the writer paid a visit to
the port Matolla, where the steam-
ship Cranky, a British yessel, is
now discharging a qargn of ^,0Q0
heifers apd a few well brpd bqljs.
Owing to ap accident to her mar
chipery in the Gulf of Mexico,
the ship was delayed at Baabados,
but notwithstanding the somewhat
long voyage of forty days she ar-
rived at Lourenzo Marquez with a
record of only thirteen deaths
among the cattle, sphere \yere,
howeyer, sixteen npw arrivals to
report enroute, so that {be result
may be ^escri^l as eipinep^ly
repatriation department. All the
animals go first to Machadodorp,
where they undergo the dipping
process prepartory to being dis-
patched to other distributing cen-
ters. The importing company has
depots at Pretoria, at Yokeskey
river and elsewhere, and it isv to
these places whero other than
government stock goes before
reaching the ultimate purchaser.
It may safely be said that apart
from commercial aspect of the
case the company is doing useful
and beneficent work, and that the
importations of such useful strains
of breading stock will eyentually
tend to an all round improvement
in South African herds. The pro-
moters are to be congratulated on
their prcscieuce on selecting Dela-
goo as their port of discharge, and
the co-operation of the Lmgbam
company is a valuable factor in the
undertaking,—^The Texas Stock-
man And Farmer.

The sultan is becoming Ameri

THE HORSE AND THE
FLAG
After all it is ditiicult to meas-
ure Mr. Roosevelt by the same
1 standard we apply to public men
! whose position would ap^rcntly
| entitle their otficial and semi-off-
icial acts to seriops consideration.
Patriotic Americans pi pat feel a
fcepn spnsp of shame in that at
times they must doubt the ration
! alness ot the president of the United
States tor an extended season
the chief executive, whether as the
erratic gentleman of the White
House or the law-abiding, resident
of Qysttr Bay, has been acting the
part of thb clown.
Mr. Roosevelt has been the
most "conspicuous" prosident sin-
ce the birth of the nation. Verily
has he been Theodore the astonish-
ing. In the matter of etfectiye
ways of securing notoriety be has
set the pace for every prima donna
from San Francisco to St. Peters-
burg. He has thrown "calm,
splendid dignity" to the winds and
has intermixed in his conduct
buffoonery and blustering. His
only peaceful days are Sundays,
which the press dispatches tell us
he spends at home and at church.
However, it is not long since he
broke the restraints of this enforc-
ed good behavior and, w'hila re-
turning from church, beeamo in-
volved in a quarrel with a villager
as to the rights of the roadway.
Americans love sincerity.
There were manj' who overloo ke
the Booker T. Washington lunche-
on because the president seemed to
think he was right. And there
was a multitude of other mistakes
that were allowed to bo covered
by what appeared to be sincerity
of purpose. But when he became
a persistent mountebank charity
ceaaed to be a virtue.
Mr. Roosevelt's latest vaudeville
stunts were . enacted almost
simultaneously. One was his
threat to decline the invitatian to
the Seawanhaka-Qorinthian Yacht
club's fe^st if Sir Thomas*Lipton
were invited. The explanation
given waa that the Englishman
had been sufficiently honored!
Up in Boston a pool" little, crip,
pled girl spent boqra of pain and
toil in making a beautiful United
States flag. She devoted all of
her earnings to ber„patriotism and
was aided by her friends. The
banner cost $150 ip money and
days of labar which gave to the
banner an untold value. With a
heart full of love ape* tenderness,
little Marie Qostfeau sent her gift
to Qyster Bay.
The present was returned.
Mr. Loob, secretary to Mr.
Roosevelt, inclosed a curt note,
saying it would be impossible for
the president to accept the flag, as
he had decided not to accept any
more "valuable" presents.
It was only a few wastes ago that
certain citi?eps Wyoming sent
^r. Roosevelt a saddle horse, and
it was accepted with expressions
of gratitvido, Many other cases of
this kind are on record.
Is Theodore Roosevelt a great
man, a man the knowledge of
whose life should serve to make
our children better and nobler?
Among the nomenclature of terms
that might t^t him, the unpractic-
ing preacher would not be al-
together impertinent.—Houston
