The Texas Sheep
Tha sheep la the greatest politician
of all animals. He has entered every
campaign slnca the beginning of gov-
ernment and In a number of electlona
his fleece haa been tha paramount Is-
sue. Sheep have been mentioned In
the platform of every political party
and wool haa been listed In the tariff
schedules of every nation on the globe.
As a statesman ha haa pretty well held
his own and although occasionally
beaten at the polls and ejected from
legislative halls, his friends Invariably
resubmit the Issue, and today his
fleece Is protected by a tariff of U
centa per pound.

FORMER SHERMANITE DEAD.
Herman I’oleman Passing Away
Shreveport.
A recent issue of the Shreveport
Times has the following:
“Mr. and Mrs. Nunn, of Sherman,
Texas, have returned home from the
sad mission that brought them to
Shreveport the death of Mrs.
Nunn's brother, Mr. Herman l’cle-
man, which was the cause of pro-
found sorrow to his large circle of
friends, who admired him in his
every relation in life and who of-
fered tender sympathy to his wife
and relatives, with tributes of rarest
flowers.''
1910 VALUE PER HEAD *2.90i "
He la ths moat economical of all
animate; hie i flesh la the pureet of
foods and has always been an accept-
able sacrifice to the gods; his fleece
makea the finest of raiments and haa
clothed mankind since the creation of
the world.. He le a very prolific ani-
mal and while furnishing food and
clothing rapidly replenishes his kind.
He Is the only animal that possessea
three natural and unfailing sources of
revenue—food, clothing and reproduc-
tion—and he haa so successfully man-
aged these glgRnttc lines of Industry
since the beginning of time that to-
day he la a captain of Industry among
the animals.
The sheep Is the only animal that
has been humiliated hy being com-
pelled to compete with vegetable fibre
on the markets, but notwithstanding
the progress of his powerful rival. King
Cotton, he has held his own and to-
day he la worth more on the market
than at any time during the past
half a eentury and his fleece la ths
yard-stick for computing vslues of all
vegetable fibres, ant King Cotton must
get prices from the sheep before enter-
ing the market.
According to the federal agricul-
tural department census report on Jan
1, 1910. we had 1.000,000 head of sheep
and the latest estimate placed upon
| them Is $5.63*.000. During the peat
I decRde we have shown sn Increase In
! nugn.ber of isheep of hslf a million head
In total value of approximately $2,500.-
000
Texas Is the home of ths theep and
the mountain regions sfford oheap

adapted to sheep raising and wool
growing.

FRUIT DESSERT.
Prune Leaf an Inexpensive, Delicious
and Wholesome Food.
Eren that humble fruit the prune,
at which w* so often sneer, may be
used In maklhg delicious desserts. For
Instance, prune loaf may be made as
follows:
Whip one and a half cupfuls of
cream until firm throughout Cut
fine enough cooked prunes to fill one
cup. add one-fourth cupful of the
prune Juice and two-thirds cupful of
sugar nod 1$, simmer until the sugar
la dissolved and the mixture reduced
a little. Add the Juice of half a lemon
The deceased spent most of his
boyhood in Sherman and will be re-
membered by many of the older
residents.

and one-fourtb cupful of Juice from
the prunes Let stand until chilled,
then fold the cream Into It anti turn
the mixture Into a quart mold lined
with paper and chilled in salt and
crushed Ice. FBI the mold to over
flow, spread over a paper and press
the cover down over the paper. Pack
In equal measures of salt and crushed
Ice. I.et stand about three hours.
Repack when the Ice has partially
melted When repacking turn the
mold, as the lower side often freezes
more quickly than the upper side.
When unmolded garnish with half a
cupful of whipped cream and cooked
prunes.
Saving the Button*.
To prevent the constant annoyance
of pillowslips, etc., coming home from
laundry with broken or torn off but-
tons make two buttonholes Instead of
button and buttonhole, sew two but-
tons loosely together and use as a
ztud, removing at each visit to laun-
4ry.

Graduates and alumnae of Wellesley
who gather for the annual commence
ment will all pay special tribute to
the Alice Freeman Palmer memorial
which haa recently been given a place
of honor In Wellesley college, where
Mrs. Palmer was president from 1881
until 1887. She wg* probably the
greatest womnn educator of modern
times. It wax through her Influence
that the college assumed the leading
position It now occupies, and every
loyal Wellesley girl honor* her mem
ory. The memorial waa made possible
through the efforts of Mias Caroline
Hazzard. the present head of the col
lege, and the alumnae. Not only la
the memorial a tribute to a great wo
man. but It !* a great work of art, for
those who kno* say It Is one of the
beat things that Daniel Chester French,
the sculptor, haa ever turned out. It
la a lifelike portrait of Mrs. Palmer
with an idealized figure at her aide
It la placed In a good light In the chap
el of the collegp, and there the beauty
worshiping girls of Wellesley have sur
rounded It with flowers to greet the re
turning alumnae, many of whom knew
and loved her when she was at the
head of the institution.
Austin. Tex., May 24.—-Railroad
Commissioner Williams is displeased
with the Interstate Commerce com-
mission because of its permission to
certain interstate lines to Increase
the rates into Texas on some twenty-
five or thirty additional articles.
This was done following tre Inter-
state Commission’s decision uphold-
ing the railroads in their increase
into Texas three years ago.
According to the Texas commis-
sion, the railroads have been per-
mitted to transfer some twenty-five
or thirty articles from commodity
to class rates, thereby affecting an
increase on the rates. Mr. Wil-
liams says that no notice was given
the Texas Commissioner or the the
Texas shlp-pers, the Interstate Com-
mission allowing the Increase to be-
come effective without any notice
whatever., He criticises the Inter-
state Commission for its action.

Yesterday the two rival teams or
the Working Boys' Indoor Baseball
league met for their third sched-
uled game, each team confident of
victory. The name of “Sapheads'
and “Boneheads” were selected hy
Captains Leon Reynolds and Ru-
dolph Parker as suitable names for
their respective teams. The “Sap-*i
heads” took the lead in the very
beginning of the game and contin-
ued to pile up the scores without
any material check throughout the
entire game. The overwhelming de
feat of Capt. Parker's team can be
accounted for in the fact that his
pitcher, Clarence Stollings, was not
present, his substitute walking, one-
fourth of the men up to bat. Rey-
nold's team was In trim condition
with Cantrell in the box, Tom
Thrasher on first base and Leon
Reynolds behind the bat. Thrasher
showed a good record, having knock-
ed three two-baggers during the
game.
