THE TEXAS SMALL BOY

Sax Airrosio, T kx. , Feb. 38.—Sometlin**'
I sympathise with that much-tried father
ef a fain'ly of {rowing beys, who, when els
wife said to him that she really believed
that a boy ought to be kept in a hogshead
and fed through the bung till he was 12
years old, growled out: “Yes, and then they
ought to stop up the bung hole."
There are near Baa Antonie two big irri
gated farms lying sida by side, one belongs
to a Mr. Hopkins, and tbe other to a Mr,
Powers. The son and heir of the Hopkins
household, Samuel Houston for long and
Sam for short, is a great chum of the Absa
lom of the Powers family, Frank by name.
Their ages are respectively 15 and 17, and
their doings it was that led to my opening
remark.
How pretematurally keen Is the usually
wandering and oareless eye of the growing
youth for signs of tbe tender piusloa in his
pastors and masters. Hoe keenly he seizes
On the first indications, and with what de
risive snorts be details the tud to hit callow
associates.
Haui Hopkins made such a disoivery in
regard to his father’s sheep hoes, when no
one vise iu the family suspected It, He
carried his hit of delectable information to
his crony, Frank l’owera. The object of
the sheep b sem’ sighs was Miss Van
Ostend, the daughter of a German tenant
on '.he Powers place, and the boys immedi
ately concocted a scheme whiok they
thought promised unlimited amusement.
Bam went to the sheep best, and, leading
up as diplemat.cally to tbs subject as be
could, informed him tiat old Van Ostend
wouldn’t let Mina have any beaux—which
chaoc-d to be an actual fact—but that he
thought it was a shame, and if anybody
wanted to send a note to her, he was tbe
felltfw to take it. aad it ba dida’t get to
give ft to her, Frank Powers would.
Tbe sheep bras snapped up this bait In tbe
oatOaby manner of people in hie state of
mind, and intrusted Sam with a tender
epistle, which made very interesting read
ing for the conspirators. They together
evolved au answer, Which seemed to do the
sheep boss just as werll as if it had come
from headquarters; and. In point of faot,
was probably moro satisfactory, since the
boys were not trpu’led with any maiden
modesty, and made the epistle strong and
swift t.
With the sheep boss on one hand to pro
pose, and two stihh choice spirits to reply,
ltlsn-ttobe Wondered that the wooing
was as beatific as 'Tot and hasty.” Befoie
the third letter liad phased, ad elopement
had teen proposed arid agreed to.
This was somewhat more than the youths
had bargained for, hut they were nothing
daunted. Frank, being the smallest, was to
surreytfUouely borrow a dress and a sun
bonnet from Mlrta, and on one of the ponies
ride to the place of meeting; the sheep boss
had his license and they were bound for the
ro6ldeuce of a pompous, god-humored old
justice of Ihe peace about six miles away,
who, It was thought, would raise uo objec
tions to tying the knot.
The elepemeirt was to take place late in
tire evening, atid the boys trusted te the
suuboar.et ar.d the dusk as ample disguise.
As soou at Sam saw them off he luteuded to
ruih.ofT after old Van Us end, aud. telling
him Mina was eloping, send him after the
bdgut Mine aud the aheap boss, without
giving him time to gw to tbe bou*o, where
the real Mina wes serenely baking pretzels,
cal nly unaware of the deeds done iu her
name.
Frank made a protty fair looking girl;
tbey got to tbe reartvzvous without Inter
ruption ; Bam prevented the aheap boss from
•agagiag her lu conversation, by saying
she *as scared to death, ahd they thought
the old naan was after then.
After seeing them off down the road, on
the keen so ot, quirting their ponies at
every step he rode. ehucklUr baok on bis
err.od of mercy to warn old man Vau-
Ostend.
Frank, however, hardly felt so jubilant.
Be began to realise toat he had the hot end
of the poker, and that be wee la a plaoe it

and whipping ftp his pony declined conver

phalanx and tor* out of the back door,

had tied kit ponies, explained matters to
the Justice and they were coming in when
the girls mot them with the information
that the bride "as scared to death and had

“Her father la after us,” said the sheep
boss anxiously.

Is all right and she’ll lust com# out. “I’ll
make H safe for ihe old man to come in less
than two minutes.”
But calling and eearobing foiled to evoke
bar, and dually tbe puzzled justice, who
concluded that she must indeed be in great
bodily fear ot ber pursuing parent
mounted the horse block, with an official
air, oud in a voice that could be heard in
Sau Antone, proclaimed: “Come out
madam, oon opt; nobody shali hurt you
while you are under my roof."
“Madam,” however, was not under his
roof, but was just then industriously but
vaioly trying, hampered with uuaccus
toint and draperies, to scale the high board
fence with whloh the thrifty Justice had en
closed Ms bit of Xitchea garden, and de
stroying great rows of youthful vegetables
as be fail baok, spread eagle fashion,
amongst thorn of er each rail ire.
The girls were running hither and thither
•ailing her by name, and the sheep boss was
conjuring her by all the tender epithets ne
could muster to come forth, when a diver
sion was created by the arrival of old Van
(Intend on tire scene.
He catne np fulmimating strange German
oaths, exploding sentences in broken Kn
§lish ad demanding, like Bhylock, “his
ucais and his daughter.”
He was with ekireme difficulty pe susded
that Mina was not to be found on the place,
and mads the most generous offers in regard
to wiping up the aurfaca of the earth with
any or all of the men about.
He refused to leave till he had teen the
license tors lu small bits, and when be at
last rode sullenly homeward to find his
innocent daughter piaoidly knitting, he
was ready to exclaim with Solomon.
“Great is the djplioity of woman. She
eateth, anil wlpeth her mouth, and aayetb,
‘I have taken nu moat.’ ”
Daring the excitement caused by bis in
cursion at the justice's Frank had, in the
greater security given him by tbe absorp
tion of laterest in a contrary direction so
bimsolf managed to drag up a keg and
scramble over the fence. He reached home
more dead than alive, and with his bor
pidiuage hanging in tattered strips.
J 7 k® u oIJ Van Osteod heard the story—
which, of course, was too good a one for the
two youths, who were bursting with glory
over their part in it. to keep—he was
mightily tickled. Mina, of course, was
mad. Your courting and eloping are
among the things you would prefer to
attend to foryo reeif; but the rage of tbe
sheep boa was deep end letter.
He anno icosd that he d.dn’t mean to set
tle with Frans Power# till he got aim* age
onto bins, for he didn't think it would be
fair to kill a sprontln’ boy; but Intimated
that when he considered him a fair oppon
eat he meant to scatter his fragments
around promiscuously. This armed truoe
held Mil on a bona Hat tender of hts af
feotloas t> Mina Van Ostend s-e replied
1 that she did .'t think a fellow that bad no
more eense than to take a great straddlebug
- " a boy for her would do to tie to.
At this Ms rage boiled over and he laid
for the youthfsi author of bis amorous mis
haps. and did him np iu such great shape
that be came near dving. and had several
| weeks ia bed In which to reflect on the folly
! of meddling with the love affairs of sheep
bosses.
When I visited the Powers farm tbe other
day and met tbe heroes of this o’er true tale,
the wound inflicted by the irate sheep boss
in Frank's neck, wbi h was the one that eo
nearly proved fatal, was represented by a
big scar, and he always wears a Handker
chief tied high around his neck to cover it.
But the sheep boas got. bis Mina. After
be bad so nearly killed Frank and had to
flee the country, she concluded, with true
feminine perversity, that the would take
him, anti one nlg-it she slipped out aad
eloped with him in good earnest.

New York, Feb. 38.—With the cessation

coming of Lent, tbe birds which constitute

climatic conditions as oannot be found iu
this vicinity until our se-called spring in

among piney woods, ora go groves, roses
and magnolias, the tourists ’oiler away the

Prinoa of Wales ana other members of the
royal household yearly quit London for a
brief sojourn on thj continent. This sea

HOW DOCTORS WERE INVITED TO

Gain Admiration.
(Copyright, 1991.)
Nxw You, Feb. 28.—Doctor*’ day at
tbe Ladles' Athletic club ia always a trying
time for the pretty athletes, for they feel
embarrassed past all finding out. And why
shouldn't they! Clad only in knee breeches,
skirt likewise to tbe knee and blouse waists
lownecked and sleeveless, they run, jump,
klok, swlog clubs and pose before a class ef
dignified men with whom are always asso
ciated ideas of pain, physic an 1 penance.
“Dr. A. was there," said ana of (be girls,
speaking afterward of the ocoasiou, “and,
though I just love him and fret myself
sick when be goes to Europe, I couldn't, I
ready couldn’t help putting out my tongue
just a little wey as I passed nun. You know
he ol ws ska me to snow him my tongue
aud it didu’t seem good form not to do so.”
At tbe last doctors’ day all the doctors
were enthusiastic in their praises of the
athletic work done by the girls, p elleting
beautiful physical results when the care
lessness of g.rlhood shall have deepened
into the shade* and caret of maturity.
Tne clu • swinging showed a timidity and
tbe arm movements were not altogetner
graceful. But tbe kicking wai flue. We
women are renowned for our Kicking pro
pensities.
New York women have taken leave of
their senses, their traditions and their
Americanism this winter. The French ball
began it. A few men, half in sport, half in
bravado, agreed to take tbeir tender little
better halves to see the awful doing- at this
bail. Boxes were secured for these high
bred ladies and tu them they sat enveloped
in black domtuoes, watching the fuu aU the
nlzht long.
Tr.en came tbe Carmenoita ball and all
(t ree hundred and ninety nine out of the
Four Hundred were there. Carmeuclta ar
rived at 1U:80 o'clock and danced teauti
fully, and, although be lacs petticoat- were
so dtr yas to ottend fastidious eyee ; the
dirt, the promiscuous crowd and the jam
ming and push ug of the diverse elements
were all accepted iu the beet of spirits. It
was so refreshing to ba away from the
trammel, tbe blare aud the blarney of
“sH-siety” for a whole evening I
The 400 ultra religious women of New
York who think it sinful to devoto the sain
ing hours to riotous living tx-came fired with
an ambition to become real devilish for
once in a year; so, donning men's attire thev
went to the Arion ball an masre. No one
knew them, and they enjoyed themsehes
with an abaadon hitherto unknown to their
souls. It is rumored that one of the ladies
became so enamored of a certain ballet girl’s
doSo that she sought to emulate it. After
repeated attempts and more than one
draught of champagne she succeeded.
It was Interesting to note bow I’arisian
we are becoming at these affairs. On the
other side it is considered the correct thing
for a gentleman to visit the society of
friends in their box, aud, then, after he h-B
chatted a few m intents, to call upon a
pretty little actress in the adjoining box.
To rever-e this order would be bad form.
At all three of these balls precisely this
mettiod was carried out.
"Ho do you pronounce Carmencita?" was
the agonizing query made to a young
woman whose origin traced from the laud
of Carmencita’s birth.
“It U Our-r-r-menclta," said she. “Not
Carmen theta, uor Carmensheta, but Car-r
--r-mencita with the accent on tbe third syl
lable and the r rolled ps long as your tongue
will permit.”
Otoro is pronounoed Olairo, with the ac
cent on the second syllable, ana both o’s long
mid open. Berahart is pronouuced Bairn
hardt.
Amelia Hives Chanter, who electrified us
with "The Quick or the Dead,” is still very
ill at Paris, She has uot been out of her
apartment* since October, nor out of her
bed since December. She worked desper
ately bard immediately after marriage with
Mr. Chanler, in order to fulfill contracts
previously mads. This was done at a time
when she hal not recovered from the nerv
ous prostratluu to which the critics reduced
her over her book. She is now a physical
wreck, tormented by a boundless ambition
and blooming talents ihat must be kept in
darkness becau e the plant bearing them is
too frail fur publicity. Ameiie’a name D
pronounced Aim! y—dike Mmiiy, oniy with
an A Instead of aa H
New Yorkers more every year. They
ciu’t help it. It isn’t because they don’t pay
their rent, far in that cose they would
move every month, but it is because they
become possessed of a feverish restlessness
that will not permit them to stay put. They
must get in a newer quarter of the city.
They caunot rest unless they can find a flat
electric lighted. They want a gas range
nuil bath tubs with tnermometers in them.
They want to move, and move they must.
With them moving is attended with none of
j the old time horrors, when carpets, pictures,
. bureau drawers and china closets were torn
from their moorings and chaos reigned for
;i month before and after the exodus.
Moving is not done that way nowadays.
Nut at all. When madame gets good and
ready to move she notifies the moving bu
reau that on Wednesday, April 15, she
wishes her cood/aud ohattels removed from
110 Washington avenue to 0 Central Park
place, and that the said articles are valued
at $-,000.
On the appointed day the family break
fast as usual, let the fire go out iu the fire
place and cook stove, and, putting on all
their jewelry, go out to luncheon. Then
they go the matinee. later they find their
way to the new flat at 9 Central Tank place,
to be greeted by the familiar Lares and
Penates which have been transferred ia
their entirety to the new quarters.
Of course some rearrangement is neces
sary. Tidies must be pinned on squarely
instead of corner wise, pictures must be hung
by two wires instead of one, and the prayer
rug must be placed ia front of an east win
dow instead of between the folding-doors.
But these things are trifling. And madams
and family go to bad with a rainbow is
their souls, fur all the moving has been ac
complished successfully without work,
worry or pneumonia And all this for $35.
It is difficult to believe that fair, high
born women can bring themselves to such a
frame ot mind as to be willing to pose {for
photographs which are to be put up on sale
in the photographer’s window. There is no
definite arrangement to this effect before
the picture is taken, hut in many oases
madame knows and the artist knows that It
a pretty picture can be obtained, there will
be no oDjectton made to showing it iu the
window Then, if some paseers-by, at
tracted by the gracefulness ot tho pose and
the beauty of niadame’s fair face and
shining neck, wishes to buy, it would be
cruel and discourteous to refusa Bo the
public sale of photographs is conducted
with open consent of the photographer and
the tacit consent of madame.
It is a miracle that any husband, with
just a little overy-day sense, even, will al
low tuis. Fancy being too owner of a wife
whose fair face and form greet you daily
and tri-daily from a Broadway picture
gallery! Fancy yourself stopping for a
second to admire the beauty which is to
you ever fresh aud new, and heariug such
remarks as these in the mouths of the
jeuntstt dorte : “Do you get on to this one
iu the co. nerF’ “Jove, look at those eyeal”
"Not half bad” (pronounced harf babd).
“By devil, I’d like to be introduced to her!”
“Hush h-h, that cad is her husband I”
A mss who can hear eueh remarks and
keep his coat oa, and hold his tongue aad
his tamper, must bs full of tbe oonrage sf
his conviction*. My habby would order
p.stoL and coffee for two. And bs would
kill roe off-hand just to give him an appe
tite to tackle the other fellow.
