AJHusg tlie seven short stories in I
Everybody's for March is a touch
ing delicately written Japanese
fairy tal«, which tells how a very
human little mortal falls in love
with aiui marries the West Wind.
The decorative illustrations are
most happily in accord with the text.
Mrs. Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman's
"The Shadows on the Wall," is
another one of thosi- mysterious,
uncanny, New England ghost
stories, the first of which appeared
in Everybody's Magazine and cre
ated quite a literary sensation.
There is also the first of a two-part
Canadian story, by Ella W. 1'eatie,
called "The Place of Dragons."
Thk resolution adopted by the
Farmers' Institutue while in ses
sion here last week condemning the
bill recently introduced in the leg
islature by Mr. Bryan, from Abi
^tene, in which he attempts to do
away with tne quarantine line was
a righteous act by that body. Cat
tle driven or shipped from the South
Texas couutry to North Texas in
the summer months do well them
selves, but they invariably cause
fever to break out among the native
cattle of this section, and it is a fact
that before tiiis quarantine liue was
established by Texas and the United
States government thousands of
cattle died every year from coming
in contact with southern cattle.
This quarantine line works a hard
ship on the cattlemen right close to
the line and hence the Abilene coun
try, which is principally a cattle
couutry, wants that line abolished,
ami [\epr»'»fiuttu»r τ» «» su
structed to wipe it out if he could.
Messrs. H. A. Pierce and B. W.
Fearis, both of whom live iu Wax
ahachie, are very much opposed to
tiie line being abolished, and it was
through the effort» of Mr. Pierce,
who called the attention of the in
stitute to tnis matter, that this res
olution wan passed. Mr. Pierce
says that be could buy cattle here
in Ellis and adjoining counties arid
ship them north at all seasone
of the year and make money on
them, but he knows from expe
rience that these cattle would dis
ease and kill the native cattle up
there. As this quarantine law now
stands cattle from South Texas are
only allowed to be shipped or
driven north of the line ·η Decem
ber and January.
