COUPLE HAPPY IN
MOUNTAIN HOME.
Husband and Wife Contented with
Their Trees and Books for
44 Years.
Balmorhea, Texas.—His well-kept
farm wholly concealed behind the
‘mountains, and reached only b j tor
tuous, difficult road, H. H. Huelster
hasn’t been to town for seven years.
But with his good hausfrau, tower-
ing hillsides, fruit trees and books
with ‘which to commune, he has not
missed the hum and throb of a city,
though he has neither radio nor tele-
phone. 3
Huelster at seventy-five and his wife
at sixty-six have !ived on this same
mountain ranch for 44 years, and for
the last 20 years he and his sons had
been terracing the property. But his
sons, of whom there are nine, and
daughters, of whom there are two, are
new goue, leaving the aged couple
with thelr dog, cat, mountains and
quietness.
Terracing Engineering Feat.
There probably is no other farm in
Texas that will compare to that of the
Huelsters in a terracing job, for in
their case it was an engineering feat
and the rock walls and gardens pre-
sent an unusually picturesque sight,
one that amazes the visitor in this
far-off nook.
But the couple are happy. When
the writer visited there recently Mrs.
Huelster, active and vivacious, ex-
plained their philosophy thus:
“No, sir, I would not want to reside
tn a city. Why folks would know
every dress I owned and what I had
for breakfast. Then there is the noise
and crowds and no time for anything,
Here, we can read, watch our fruit
and flowers, and about twice a month
some friends visit us.”
She only came to Huelster’s broad
shoulder, but unlike him, at times will
come to Balmorhea and attend a
“movie.”
“Now you all sit down and let me
pring you some nice watermelon,” she
said. “We haven't seen any one for
a month,” and she darted Into the
house and then out, re-enforced with
a large melon.
“Who was elected governor?” she
inquired. This was some time after
the last primary, and when informed
that Dan Moody had won, she ex-
claimed: “My! My! So our woman
governor lost, and I thought she was
going to win.”
Builder of His Home.
The Huelster homestead, all ot
stone, was built by the pioneer and
his sons, and standing on a crest,
overlooks the entire farm. May 29 a
terrific freshet tore down the moun-
tain, washed out a dam that had been
built and flung about boulders weigh-
ing a ton. Huelster pointed some of
them out.
“Are you not afraid when these
heavy storms send such gigantic rocks
so ciose to your home?” he was asked.
“Why, no, of course not,” he scoffed.
1 .
“We have lived here for 44 years. It
does require some repair work,
thougn.”
He does some pretty hard work on
terracing every day, work that would
tax a man many years his junior.
Mountain folk, and pretty exclusive
at that, one would expect to find In
their well-filled library bocks concern-
ing life other than mountains, adven-
ture and the outdoors. But no, there
were scores of books by Zane Grey,
James Oliver Curwood and other writ-
ers whose stories deal with the old
West and mountains. Zane Grey wrote
a novel whose scenes are laid in the
Davis mountains, and in it he men-
tions that the Southern Pacific reached
Alpine about 1876.
“Grey is entirely wrong,” declared
Huelster. “I was here and know it
came through about seven years after
he said it did. TI ought to know, for I
saw them building the line and heard
the whistle of the first train.”
Wife Is a Scientist.
Huelster reads . English, German,
french and Spanish with equal ease,
while his wife is the scientist of the
pair. She knows the common and
scientific name of every flower, vege-
table and insect on the place.
“The names in common usage are
just slang,” she said. “See that beau-
tiful butterfly on that leaf? It's a
giant of the lepidoptera family. Now
it has alighted on that verbena, only
its real name Is lippia citriodora.”
The linguist wore overalls and the
seientist a house dress when the sur-
prise visit was made. Finally, a pho-
tograph of them was suggested. Then
the Huelsters disclosed that no one
ever had taken a photograph of them,
though back in 1893 some one took a
picture of the farm for use at the
world’s fair in Chicago.
“No, sir, I don’t want my picture
taken,” said the husband.
“1 will,” said the wife and she
nustled into the house, sallying forth
a few minutes later resplendent in a
silk dress. Huelster couldn’t stand for
this. He succumbed, went into the
house without a word and soon came
out, dressed appropriately for the oe-
casion. And they stood together, these
rugged pioneers of rugged mountains
and the picture was taken.
Back in the days when outlaws and
Comanches held ‘sway in this section,
'when the stage coach ran between San
Antonio and Fl Paso Huelster, then a
\young man, had a job at Balmorhea of
'changing the mules when the coach
arrived, while his wife cooked meals
{for the travelers.
It was not many years ago when
the Huelst& family supplied the en-
tire valley with its vegetables and’
fruits; Now they do no shopping and
one of their sons makes a weekly trip,
carrying staple groceries to the farm.
Mrs, Huelster recalls events by re-
membering which child was the baby.
“Let me see. Oh, yes, Fritz was the
baby when that picture was taken
back In '93,” she said.
It was gl! long since ofl was dis-
covered on the Pueister farm. The
rancher was drilling for water, the ofl
spoiled the water, so he plugged her
up in disgust. Ha doesn’t need ofl.
He has his mountains.
Famous Painting Missing
From Church in Mexico
Morelia, State of Michoacan, Mex.—
Mystery is attached to the strange
disappearance from the wall of the
parish church of Tzintzuntzan, a his-
toric village situated on the shore of
Lake Pdtzcuaro, of the celebrated
painting “The Descent From the
Cross.”
This canvas is regarded in art cir-
cles as being one of the most valuable
masterpieces on the American conti-
nent, due to the established fact that
it came. from the brush of Titian, who
was the royal patron of Philip II,
King of Spain.
For long periods the church was
closed to the eyes of visitors and
many legends sprang up concerning
the wonderful painting which main-
tained its marvelous beauty and color,
despite age and exposure. When of-
ficers of the federal government went
to the village a few days ago to make
an inventory of the church property,
they found that the painting had been
removed from the wall. It is the
popular belief here that the painting
was removed by order of the church
authorities and secreted, for the time
being, to prevent it from falling inte
the hands of the government,
Too Proud to Ask Aid,
Woman Nearly Starves
New York—Too proud to keep
boarders when they proved objection-
able, although they were her only
source of income, Mrs. Yetta Blum-
stein, sixty years old, almost starved.
When neighbors found her in her
two-room apartment, she was so weak
she was unable to move, and so I’
she could not walk.
According to neighbors, Mrs. Blum:
stein supported herself by taking
boarders and doing housework. A
man and a woman who had been
boarding in Mrs. Blumstein's home
were objectionable, so she asked them
to move. After them, a man moved
into her home, The new boarder also
was objectionable, and Mrs. Blumw
stein ordered him to move.
This left her without an income, but
she did not ask help of anyone and
none knew ‘of her serious financial cir-
cumstances. When neighbors saw her
recently she seemed to be well.
Mrs. Blumstein’s first husband is
dead, according to neighbors, and her
second husband was taken two months
ago to the Montifiore home. After
reighbors learned of her condition
they had her removed to Bellevue hos-
pital.
Find “Siamese Twins”
Shared Only One Organ
Minneapolis, Minn.--Only one or-
gan was owned in common by Lucy
and Bessie Medich, “siamese twins,”
who died within a few minutes of each
other at a local hospital. This was
the bladder, it was discovered at the
post mortem at the hospital.
Lucy died of pneumonia and Bessie,
her sister, joined to her from birth.
about five menths ago, died of shock
and blood poisoning.
With the exception of the bladder,
which served both bodies, every vital
organ of the bodies was complete In
each individual.
This possession of two almost com:
plete sets of internal organs, permit-
ted, surgeons believe, Bessie to enjoy
perfect health throughout the long
illness of Lucy from pneumonia.
The two were the children of Mr
and Mrs. N. 8S. Medich, South Bend,
Ind., and it is expected that the bodies
will be taken to that city for burial.
They were fastened together by a
rather narrow band at the hips, the
heads being at opposite ends of the
double body.
British Woman Finds
Quarrying Fascinating
dAensall, Yorkshire, England.—Mrs.
Anne Greaves is Britain’s only wom-
an quarry manager.
“It may seem that quarrying is a
strange business for a woman, but
why shouldn’t women run quarries?”
asked Mrs. Greaves. “Of course I
have a foreman and plenty of men
workers to assist me, but I go into
the quarries myself and inspect the
seams and direct the methods to be
used In getting out the sand and
gravel,
“Stone has become 80 expensive
hat I have developed a plant which
makes artificial stone and am doing a
good business, I find quarrying is a
very fascinating occupation.”

Indians Not Vanishing from United
States.
Contrary to the popular misconcep-
tion of the vanishing and impoverish-
ed race, the North American Indian is
increasing in both numbers and afflu-
ence. Even greater gains in both par-
ticulars are expected by the Depart-
{ cation of Indians in the essentials of
sanitation and hygiene and the fur-
and timber lands.
show there are 349,595 Indians in the
United States, an increase of approxi-
mately 16,585 over ten years ago, a
percentage gain of four and a half per
cent. This is said to approximate the
same period.
Pennsylvania, once the home of sev-
eral tribes of Red Men, now contains
but 252 Indians. States containing
large Indian populations are Okla-
homa with 120,163; Arizona with 43-
950; New Mexico, 22,481; South Dako-
ta, 24,421; Minnesota, 12,300; Cali-
fornia, 18,812, and Montana with 138-
142.
About 206,500 Indians have received
land allotments totalling approximate-
ly 40,000,000 acres, valued at a half-
billion dollars. There remains for al-
lotment about 85,000,000 acres, valued
at $69,000,000. The total Indian prop-
erty of all kinds is valued at more
than a billion and a half dollars.
While many Indians are immensely
wealthy, there is a substantial number
whose condition is regarded as deplor-
able. Nearly 10,000 families still live
in tents, tepees and wickiups, and
many tribesmen are afflicted with tu-
berculosis, trachoma and other serious
diseases because of lack of knowledge
of sanitation and hygiene, the Indian
Bureau says.
Oberammergau Planning Passion Play
for 1930; Many Changes
Expected.
Franz Lang, who was the “Penitent
Thief” in the last production of the
famous Passion Play at Oberammer-
gau, is in London promoting the saies
of the beautiful carvings for which
his village is noted.
Lang says that although the next
production of the Passion Play is not
until 1930 the villagers—there are
2,000 of them—are already discussing
the prospects and speculating upon
the cast.
“But who shall play the various
characters,” he says “will only be de-
cided upon when the committee sits
to make the selection.”
Lang says that he received the
equivalent—in German marks—of
four dollars for his last five months’
work in the play.
“I had to remain,” he says, for 20
minutes on the cross as the “Penitent
Thief.” The strain was severe, and I
suffered from “pine and needles” in
my limbs. When I got down I had to
massage myself to restore circulation.

Will Pay Victims of Tuberculosis.
Compensation at the rate of $50 a
month now is available to World War
veterans with cases of tuberculosis
of service connection classified as “ar-
rested.” Regulations putting into ef-
fect the legislation providing for this
compensation were issued recently by
Frank T. Hines, director of the United
States Veterans’ bureau. Utmost care
was used in preparing the regulations
and it is understood that as finally ap-
proved they meet the demands of rep-
resentatives of the American Legion
and other service organizations who
were called upon for their opinion.
Awards of the compensation will be
made after examination by boards in
regional offices and sub-offices of the
veterans’ bureau, the regulations set
out. Payments are due from July 2,
1926, the date of the passage of the
law, or from the date of the tubercu-
losis reaches arrest, whichever be the
later date. Payments will not be re-
troactive prior to July 2.
Where the records in an individual
case show a characteristic clinical
course of formerly active tuberculosis
now arrested, a rating assigning the
award of $50 a month will be made
upon evidence in the file without call-
ing the veteran in for re-examination.
In all other types of arrested cases
the board will make re-examinations,
and when it cannot be settled whether
“arrest” is present or when the board
fails to determine the actual existence
of previous true tuberculosis, the vet-
eran will be referred to a suitably
equipped hospital to clear up these
matters.
It is probable that no attempt at a
general review of cases which might
be affected by this regulation will be
made by the veterans’ bureau, accord-
ing to Watson B. Miller, chairman of
the national rehabilitation committee
of the American Legion. It is there-
fore desirable, he states, that veterans
affected take the initiative by request-
ing the bureau to consider their cases
under the terms of the order.
