WELLESLEY GIBL
SPURNS SOCIETY
FOR THE RANCH
Miss Hall, With Two Brothers,
Undertook’to Reclaim Run-
Down Texas Place.
SUCCESS WITH HANDICAPS
Solved Water Problem and
Made San Saba Ranch
Valuable Property.
Miss Eleanor Hall, daughter of
Nathan Hall, after whom »he Hall
building tn this city was named, not
only can ride a horse better and fur
ther than moit'women, but she can
raise a Texas mule and then find a
market for him. says the Kansas City
Star.
When the "Hall children.” Eleanor,
Roland and Nathan, took charge of
their father's ranch near Richland
Springs. Tex., three years ago. all the
neighbors made disparaging remarks.
By sticking to the helm and keeping
her weather eye on market shallows.
Miss Eleanor has kept the ranch
afloat and made it pay.
Many people with business acumen
enough for the city, and no more, say
a ranch consists of a range and a few
fences, and all you have got to do to
run one successfully is to keep out
the hustlers while the cattle or horses
multiply. The rancher's life, they say.
is a lazy one. whose only aim Is to
ride about under a Stetson hat during
the week, and shoot up a saloon or
two Saturday night.
"More people fall at ranching than
fail In the clothing business." Miss
Hall says. "There is no use trying If
you haven't a backbone, a business
sense, and a sense of humor. Take a
mule, for instance: Everybody thinks
a mule colt is as hardy as a weed and
will grow up without any attention.
Try raising them once and see for
yourself. Mules are valuable because
they are hard to raise.”
Graduate of Wellesley.
In June. 1909, Miss Hall graduated
from Wellesley college. During her
four years of student life she had
picked up several accomplishments
that would have helped her in a so
cial career. But sdie was not thinking
of that. Down in San Saba county,
Tex., her father owned a ranch which
had grown up to weeds from year* of
partial neglect. She had lived there
when she was a little girl In pinafores,
and the call of the range had never
left her ears.
When she came home after gradua
tion, therefore. Miss Hall asked her
father, a retired ranchman and
wealthy in the possession of numerous
Kansas Cty as well as Texas proper
tes. if she and her two younger broth
ers might have the ranch at Richland
Springs. Sure she might—If she would
conduct its affairs herself. Mr. Hall
had been looking for a competent
manager for the place.
The squatters and ranchmen of San
Saba county were not generous to the
"Hall children." as they were slight
ingly called when they started in the
ranching business in their midst.
Ijooked Askance at Thom.
Even the Mexicans looked askance
at the slight, flaxen-haired girl and
her two pale brothers, and in conse
quence there was some trouble at the
outset.
The ranch hands, successors of the
ancient "chap" wearing cow puncher,
thought they knew more -bout how
the place should be conducted than
their bosses, and sometimes talked
back. All the wanderng vagabonds In
Central Texas made it a point to
drop in to meals and refuse either to
work or be ousted. The banks set up a
wail of hard times and refused credit.
But Eleanor Hall forced success in
spite of all. There was a creek which
ran through the 4000 acres of the Hall
range and furnished the sole source
of water supply for the horses and
mules. It was long known in that
locality that this "branch" dried up
occasionally and was always unde
pendable. hut no one took the trouble
to make more than casual mention of
the fact, a common notion seemed to
be that the “Hall kids would wake up
some fine morning and And them
selves with 200 head of live stock, and
no water with which to wet their
whistles."
Dam Stream to Get Water.
One day, however. Miss Hall re
membered the trick of Richard Creek.
She recalled that when she was a lit
tle girl on that same ranch the stream
went dry. The vision of hundreds of
cattle standing around a pool of mud
dy water and lowing madly for a
drink came back to her after all those

years, hinting at a possible necessity
in the future.
In a day or two several wheel
scrapers arrived at the ranch and be
gan damming up the narrow valley
of the Richland Creek. It was an ex
pensive Job. but it quadrupled the
value of the range. It caught up the
waters of the lazy flowing branch into
reservoir several hundred yards wide
and half a mile long.
Ask Miss Hall today what is the
most important dam tn the new world,
and she will tell you that while the
Gatun has the reputation, the one
across Richland Creek is the real
practical water barrier ot the two
continents.

Miss Hall is 26 years old. and prob
ably weighs less than 100 pounds. Her
face, when the interviewer met her,
boro the tan of the prairies.
"The Texas winds did that." she
said.'"Some of the girls think 1 ought
to bring enough home to hand
around among my friends, but I tell
them I have all I eau carry."
Miss Hall tells you she lives six
teen miles from a railroad town, and
intends to stay there indefinitely, and
lets you draw your own conclusion*
as to whether or not she is naturally
inclined to the wilderness.
At the ranch she Is buss of four
ranch hands, takes care of the house,
sets the selling price of the horses
and mules and O. K.’s all business
transactions. And she has no corfi
plainta to offer.
She has now gone back to the
ranch. She does not expect to return
before next June, she say*.
Nathan Hall, her father, owns a
handsome stone residence at Eighty
filth street and Broadway, as well as
the Junction building at Ninth and
Main streets, and much valuable prop
erty, but she prefers the ranch to the
social possibilities which this wealth
and her present accomplishments hold
out to her.
MEXICAN CLUBS 10
CELEBRATE JOINTLY
Polities to Be Eliminated from Fes
tivities to Be Held at ban
Pedro Park.
By the elimination of politics from
every phase of the festivities, Manuel
A. Esteva, consul genoral-at-large,
has succeeded, with one exception, in
bringing together all the Mexican so
cieties, which comprise a total mem
bership of over 2000. for a grand cele
bration of the 101st anniversary of
Mexico's independence.
At a meeting in the Market hall last
night, attended by delegations from
all the Mexican organizations save
one. the Orden de Amigos del Pueblo,
with a membership of 1000. agreed to
join with the four societies that had
already been brought together for th*
three days' festivities to be held at
San Pedro park, beginning with Sep
tember 15. The Amigos del Pueblo
society was represented by ten dele
gates. who came for the purpose of
suggesting that all semblance of poli
tics should be eliminated from the
celebration of their country's fnde
pendence day. If such were done.
| they said, their society would join
with the others.
| A committee, consisting of Manuel
A. Esteva. I. Lovano and A. Gutierrez,
was immediately appointed to act as
a board of censorship, and ft was
agreed that nothing of a political na
ture shall be permitted to occur dur
ing the celebrations. This committee
wilt exercise great care in the super
vision of the program, nnd it will be
impossible, said Senor Esteva, for
anything of a political nature to creep
In. The societies that have been plan
ning to celebrate at San Pedro park
have frequently been charged with
being actuated by political motives,
and it was because of this that the
Amigos del Pueblo society refused to
join with the others.
The one society that has not yet
agreed to join in the celebration at
San Pedro park is the Junta Patrl
otiea. which has charge of the festivi
ties to be held on Rowen’s island.

The Danger of Imitations.
An Ohio druggist writes to “ The Practical Druggist,” a prominent New Yoik
Drug Journal, as follows: “Please furnish formula for Castoria. All the formula
I have worked with are either ineffective or disagreeable to administer.”
To this '“The Practical Druggist” replies: “We do not supply formulas for
proprietary articles. We couldn’t if we wanted to. His experience with imitativo
formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castoria is
wanted, why not supply the genuine. If you make a substitute, it is not fair or
right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for
Children, but not Castoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not
feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name.”
No mother with a spark of affection for her child will overlook the signa*

THE LIGHT’S DAILY SHORT STORY
(By F. Fendrich.)
Mr Henry Fussing, president of
the Lenox National Bank, and John
Doecker. the famous private detective,
were sitting in the former's private
office.
"Then it is your wish. Mr. Fussing,
that the whole matter is to be kept
secret, no matter what we find out.
and that it is to be kept entirely out
of the hands of the police.”
"Exactly.” President Fussing re
plied. "You must understand that I
I do not wish it to become known that
| it Is possible for important papers to
| disappear from my private office. It
, would necessarily hurt the reputation
of the bank.”
' I pr >mise you 1 will act w ith the
i utmost discretion.'
"I feel sure of that. Mr. Doecker. or
! I should never have spoken so openly
to you. Rut do you think you will
be able to recover the papers?”
"Of course I can promise nothing
beforehand, but you may feel quite
sure 1 will do everything within my
power to get them back."
• • ♦
President Fussing was anything but
pleased. More than a week had pass
ed since he had called in the detec
tive. and still he had nothing from
him whatever.
"If I do not get some word from
him tod.r. ” he thought. "I will begin
to doubt it he Is really as smart ns ho
1 is thought.”
Just then there was a knock at the
door and a clerk entered.
"There is a man outside who says J
he must see you. but he refused to 1
give his name.”
"Send him in.”
An old man. evidently a skipper. '
judging from his beard and weather- j
beaten face, entered the president's.
office. As soon as ho was inside he ;
threw himself into a chair, placed his
feet upon another and began to fill!
the air with smoke from a peculiarly
obnoxious pipe.
"You wished to see me.” Fussing 1
said, obviously annoyed at the other's
free and easy manners.
"Yes. that's why I come. I want to I
talk to mu about some documents!
you've lost."
"About some documents?" Fussing I
repeated.
"Yes. here they are.”
The skipper unbuttoned his great I
coat and handed some papers to the J
astonished bank president, whose face [
became more and more annoyed as he
examined them.
"Thev are certainly the papers 1 ;
had lost, but 1 must say 1 am greatly ■
surprised to get them back in this
manner, when Mr. Doecker promised
not to let anybody into the secret of I
their disappearance. In spite of this,
he s .<s fit to return them by aj
stranger without even enclosing them
in an envelope."
"I think vou had better tell thati
to Mr Doecker himself, sir"
In a wink he took off the beard. I
his furrowed face smoothed and|
Doecker himself «tood revealed to the
surprised president.
"I l>. g your pardon. Mr. Do ’eker.
I real!' did not recoghize you In that
disguise.” the president laughed.
LOST DOCUMENTS
• "I thoucht you would not." Doecker
replied, "but if you should ever again
require my assistance and 1 promise
vou to act with discretion. I hope you
I will not doubt my word."
"I promise you that and beg your
1 pardon for having shown any dis
trust."
’ "Don't mention It. My disguise I
simply put <m because l thought it
! was better the clerks should not know
that you had received a detective twice
within such a short time,"
"Then I really ought to feel thank
; ful to you, and I beg you to believe
me when 1 say that I greatly appre
■ elate your tact. But now 1 should
like to know how you discovered the
papers and how they could possibly
disappear from my office. Who stole
• them?”
"They were not stoleh at all. And
who would care to steel papers that
\cro really of no value except to the
hpnk? T immediately saw that theft
, was out of the question, so I eon-
I centrated my efforts to find out who

i "Rut how the deuce did you find 1

"Am I wrong, then?”
"No, but--”

PLAN DAIRY EXHIBIT
AS FAIR FEATURE
Display of Methods in Handling Milk
and Butter Will Be of Interest
to the Public.
| Preparations for the great
tional fair that will open on November
3 have begun in earnest, says Secre
tary J. M. Vance, and with the first
days of September "things will begin
to hum." The subscriptions, he says,
are "coming just tine." and there is
। every indication that this year'* fair
. will be the most successful in both
' point of attendance and attractions
that has ever been held in the south-
I west.
J. Lynn. Thomas, with the dairy dl
1 vision of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, this morning
made arrangements with Secretary
X'anee for an elaborate dairy exhibit.
During the past two years he has been
i making experiments with milk and
butter, being located at College Sta
tion for some time. He has secured a
large floor space In the dairy build
ing for his purpose, which will be one
of educating the public in the knowl
| edge of the proper care that should
l be exercised in handling milk and but
ter— two of the most important prod
ncts of public consumption.
Before the fair opens, large bottles
of milk and cream will be filled under
I various conditions. They will be
placed on exhibit in the dairy build-
I ing so that the effects of the different
methods of bottling may be seen by
। the public.
The importance of sanitary methods
j will also bo demonstrated by Mr.
i Thomas. The milk used in the exhib
its will be obtained front the Jersey
cows that will be brought to the stock
: show.
' In connection with the dairy exhibit
Mr Themis will n--'-'' «iio for the
i iring of green feed for stock. Thia
feature Is exm- i d to create much
interest am >ng the farmers and cat-
। tiemen of the stare.
Owing t ' 'he extension of the gas
pipes along South Press street to the
Fair grounds, a great saving both in
cost oo fuel nnd insurance will be ef
fected. Nearly all of the concesaions>y
including the many lurch stand* and
restaurants that cover a large area of
the grounds ench year, require some
kind of fuel. Heretofore the rate of
insurance has been high on account of
the practice of using gasoline X«a
