A'Lottery Story.

Some years ago, in Berlin, poor or
phan girl dreamed three times running
OF certain number, which appeared to
her in luminous figures, while an I'M
earthly voice, repeating over and again,
"This number will win the first prize in
the Glass Lottery" resounded in her
minds ear. She impaired the vision to
her guardian, and he repaired to the
Royal Lottery Office and inquired what
had become of the ticket bearing the
number in question, receiving answer
that it had been disposed of to we'll
known lottery agent in Koenigsberg.
He forthwith wrote to this person in
closing the price of the ticket and re-
questing that it should be forwarded to
him by return of post. In reply to his
application he was informed that that
particular ticket had been sold over the
counter day or two before, to whom
the agent could not say. He, however,
inclosed in his letter another lottery
ticket, which he naively recommended
as "an excellent and highly promising
number" But the youthful dreamer s
guardian, failing to recognize anv
special merit in the ticket thus urged
upon his acceptance, sent it back with
peremptorY instructions that his money
should be returned to him without de-
lay. His vexation may be imagined
when, at the next drawing of the State
Lottery, the number winning the first
prize of $15, 900 proved to be not that Of
which his ward had thrice successfully
dreamed, but the one he had refused "a
purchase at the recommendation of the

"The Gray Mare Is the Better
Horse"

This proverbial saying, instead of be.
ing Flemish, is more likely of British
origin, and may have taken its rise from
the following circumstance; A gentle
man having married a lady of consider
able beauty and fortune, but whose
domineering temper and disregard of
marital authority on all occasions made
his home wretched, entreated her father
to take back his daughter, and her
dowry into the bargain. "Pooh, pooh!''
said the old gentleman, ''you know not
the world. All women govern their
husbands, and it is easily proved.
Harness the five horses in my stable to
cart, in which / will place a basket
containing 100 eggs; leave a horse at
every house where the husband is mas
ter, and an egg only where the wife
governs. If you should find your eggs
gone before the horses, you will think
your case is not so uncommon; but if
your horses are disposed of first I will
take my daughter home again and you
may keep her fortune" At the first
house the son-in-law came to he heard
the wife, in a shrill and angry voice, bid
her husband answer the door; here he
left an egg without any inquiry. He
visited q second and third house with
the same result. The eggs were nearly
all gone when he arrived at the seat of a
gentleman of position in the county.
Having asked for the master, who hap
pened not to be yet stirring, he was
ushered into the presence of the lady.
Humbly apologizing for the intrusion,
he put the question of obedience; and
on the lady replying she was proud to
obey her husband in all things the hus-
band entered the room and confirmed
his wife's words; upon which he was
requested to choose which horse he
liked. A black gelding struck his fancy,
but the lady desired he would choose
the gray mare, as more fit for side
saddle. Notwithstanding the substan-
tial reasons given why the black horse
would be more useful, the wife persist
ed in her claim for the gray mare.
"What!'' said she, "and will you not
take her, then? But 1 say you shall !;
for am sure the gray mare is much
the better horse.' ''Well, we'll, my
DEAR replied the husband; "just as
you please, if it must be So" "Oh, ~
quoth the gentleman-carter, "you must
now take an egg, and must take all
my horses back again and endeavor to
live happily with my wife. Nodes and

A Musical Mouse.

A performance somewhat out of the
usual line occurredat the Chestnut Street
Theater, Philadelphia, the other evening.
The first notes of the orchestra had
scarcely been heard before Mr.. Hassler
observed small mouse run out of hole
under the stage into the inclosure where
the orchestra was seated. The little ami
NAL frisked around, keeping perfect
time to the music, and Conductor Hass-
Ter found it somewhat difficult to pre-
serve his gravity and direct the orches-
ira, as his attention was so much occu-
pied by the caperings of the mouse. As
the last notes were heard it suddenly
disappeared in dark corner, and moth
ing more was thought of it. AS soon as
the curtain rose upon the next act the
musicians dived down under the stage
and proceeded 10 the music room. 1t
was noticed that the drummer seemed
rather uneasy, and frequently clutched
wildly at the leg of his pantaloons. Sud.
denly he gave loud yell, and danced
across the floor, shaking his trousers
vigorously. As he did so little mouse
dropped out and ran under the floor.
An attempt was made to secure the min.

Stock Raising on a Huge Scale.

All of which is more or less pertinent
to the fact that the revered father of
puts and calls has become the sponsor
for new company which intends to do
big thing in cattle raising on the
plains. Ga. .,..,. ...,..-t.,
The raising of cattle by private indi-
viduals on the plains is estimated to
produce an assured profit of 20 to 100
per cent. per annum, and it is claimed
that even a greater percentage OF profit
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1881-04-09

can be reached with larger capital and
larger herds, provided, of course, the
management of the. company on the
spot is in the hands of experienced men
who have asdirect personal interest in
the business and who participate directly
in the profits. FL
The new company met yesterday
afternoon at the Office of Mr.. X. Simon,
No. 1S1 Broadway, to perfect its work
ing details. 1t has purchased an i'm
mense range in Southwestern Kansas,
along the line of the Cimmaron River,
and in a country that is claimed to have
many advantages. Several creeks pass
through the range, which is forty miles
long by thirty miles wide, and includes
1,2OO square miles of all-grass land.
There is salt on the land, and the nucleus
for large business already in existence,
since Mr.. John j. Drew, the Superin-
tendent, has occupied portions of the
range for several years, and has 1890
head OF cattle now on the place. He
puts in 1885, 900 of the capital of $780,
600, which latter it is not intended,
under any circumstances, to increase.
The plot of ground lies between the
colder ground of Northern Kansas and
the dry lands of Texas, and it is claimed
that the winters losses in this district,
between the thirty-sixth and thirty
eighth parallels, will be less than in
any other section of the country this
winter.
A gentleman who has recently come
from there said yesterday: "The losses
in Southern Kansas will not average
more than two per cent. for the season
from present prospects, while 200 or 800
miles to the north they will reach ten
per cent. The losses in average winters
in our region have not been over one
per cent" Cattle men, however, claim
that straight herd can lose thirty per
cent. and still save the herder on his
gross work. .'.
During the spring it is intended to
run the amount of stock up by purchases
for breeding, principally cows with
calves by their side, to $4,000 or 10000
head. By making it a mixed stock and
selling the three-year- at the end of
the season, the company promises to pay
dividend in the fall of ten per cent,
and to add about fifteen per cent. per
annum to that by natural increase. En-
thusiastic cattle men say that the legiti-
mate profits run up to fifty per cent. per
annum at the end of ten years.
The new range is within 100 miles of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
road at Dodge City, and thence sixteen
hours from Kansas City, the market.
The ground between the breeding point
and the railroad is said to be covered
with excellent grass and well watered,
SO that by slow marches the cattle can
be got to market in excellent condition.
The present trustees have paid up in
cash 1928, half the capital stock
