Three Brothers and the Angel of Riches Tale
A long folk story follows three brothers guarding a pear tree as an angel tests their generosity. Each brother refuses to share from their brothers' portions, gets transformed wealth by the angel, and the youngest ends with a wife of pure Christian blood. Returning to poverty, the brothers fail generosity again, while the youngest and his wife prosper after gifts of wine, sheep, a palace, and clever wit. A separate tale closes with a wise daughter guiding a poor man to wealth through cunning answers and a royal marriage.

Stock farming promised fortunes for poor men in Texas
Major William E. Sweet promotes stock farming from a $1000 stake to profits of over $163,000 in ten years. He cites grazing lands in Texas and New Mexico, low housing needs, and rapid gains from sheep, Angora goats, and cattle. The article recounts several veteran examples, including John Hutson and Terrell, Texas, as proof of substantial wealth from stock raising in the Southwest.
