At Manor, Tex.', in that sparsely settled country along the line of the Houston and Texas Central railway, I came to a large wood colored building surrounded by a caravan of bones. I counted upward of 60, all saddled and each hitched to a tree. Everything about the bouse was as still as death. “It must be a funeral,’* I said. Suddenly tbe scene changed. Tbe doors of the building burst open, and out broke 50 school children. “School’s out!" they shouted, and a caravan of children scram bled for tbe horses. In a moment the youngsters bad mounted and wen riding belter shelter over tbe prairie. The Texas mustangs teemed toecenl the frolic and kicked up their heels as they galloped borne with tbe school children. With tbeir dinner palls jingling on pommels of tbe saddles, and their dresses and jackets wav ing in the wind, they looked like a mad caravan of Bedouins. “How far did you come!’’ I asked a lit tle tot who sat behind his sister on a spec kled mustang. • “I loom dood way—l turn”— “Why, he’s come six miles,” interrupt ed his sister. “Jimmy is only 5 yean old. He doesn't know bow far be does come.” “But I live eight miles,” said a little Lord Fauntleroy on a dancing broncho, “but I can ride it in an hour and have done it in 80 giinutea ’’ Then ho spurred Ms horse till he leaped away over the prairie. It is very common to see school children wearing spun in Texas. Texas has the richest school fund of any state in the Union, but sbe lacks tbe children.
