BEEF.
The Profits OF Live Stock Production on the
Farm.

Tne Pronte OF Live stock production on the
Farm.
So much has been written during
the past few years about the profits of
beef production on the range and ranch
that many farmers owning from a
fourth to an entire section of land have
come to the conclusion that they can
not successfully compete with the "beef
barons" in supplying the market with
meat. They accordingly rejoice that
the President has turned these gentle
men out of the Indian Territory, and
has ordered their fences removed on
all parts Of the public domain. That
these orders will result in diminishing
the profits of the range and ranch men
and increasing those of persons who
keep cattle on their own farms seems
certain. In the future capitalists who
are able to purchase several thousand
head of cattle can not appropriate large
tracts of land belonging to the Nation
or included in Indian Reservations and
devote them to pasturing cattle on
which they pay no taxes. Persons
who keep stock on their own farms
will be nearer on an equality with the
ranch and range men in the matter of
expenses. They can not do as ex-
tensive business, but the capital they
have invested in it will pay as large
dividends and be subject to fewer
chances of loss. In all probability the
competition of the ranch and range
cattle will diminish year by year.
In many respects the man who keeps
sattle on his own farm has better
prospect for success than one who
keeps them on ranch or free range.

The druggist knew thing or two

The assistant then told him that the
German clerk had sent word that his

back before four o'clock. At four
o'clock the German returned.

Then the proprietor asked him if il

The proprietor, chief clerk and assist

in, yelling at the top of his voice, and
little girl for rhubarb said she knew
man down the street that could speak
German, but the Teuton only shook
his head; Ieh will sayhen dot mon vot

They then told him that the German
clerk would not be back before twelve
o'clock at night.
At twelve O. clock there was EIriouS

down stairs, and the head clerk kicked
over an arnica bottle on his way
through the store; both reached the
door at the same time.

Lawyers.


Lawyers are the most trusted and
distrusted of men. They are the men
who make contracts and unmakc them;
who give advice and sell counsel; who
make money ont OF trouble and make
trouble ontof money;who create estates
and distribute them legally; who livb
by loaning money and often subsist on
borrowed capital; who hear and con-
ceai marriage secrets, and latet drag
out faded love letters in bitter divorces;
who are pleased and persuaded BY the
lucky, but often go out of court branded
and dispraised BIZ the side defeated
and. with one side always the loser,
and generally both, what wonder that
the sltlrs Of character fall to the current
lot OF q lawyer!
Without the srailes of the merchants
customers. he meets the froWn OF busi-
ness men in trouble. Fortunes are to
be saved or lost He must win the
victory or bear the blame forever The
lawyer is like the builder who knows
that, be it ever so perfect, the elaborate
house lie has finished can never quite
suit the proprietor.
He carries the double burden for self
and elient;is invited to win what others
have failed in,urged to mend the broken
pieces of q foolish contract, bound to
account for confessions in letters, asked
to replevin goods already secreted, to
attach the effects of a malicious mer-
chant, to unearth fraudulent elections,
to reclaim (encumbered) estates from
yexatious tax-titles, to keep one for
years in plenty by restored possessions
and broken wills-all by lawyers art
and eloquence!
He is fated from the start to uncer-
tainty, where clients exact no less than
absolute victory and long wish it rea-
sonable, while they know it is only prob
able. BY logic and argument, on the
theory of their client, with the facts
only partially stated, and that part
deeply shaded, they are to explain away
their defeat. If it come in the end, by a
TRADE on the perjury of opponents
witnesses and the depravity of human
nature.
Happy lawyers! They are men who
live SO easily, flourish so long on the
bounty of a grateful people, make the
laws and settle the titles, defend the
weak and enjoy the rich fruits of the
worlds praises and abuses, mingled
and commingled in such rare harmony
that none can define where censure
ends and approval commences. i w.

A Squirrel and Her Babies,

Old citizens of Toledo distinctly re-
member the time when there was an
immigration of squirrels in this vicinity.
On certain day gentleman was on
the bank Of Ten-Mile Greek when the
number of squirrels moving was unus-
ually large. Among the squirrels was
one that exhibited such motherly care
and affection for her two little ones as
TO prove most interesting sight She
reached the bank Of the creek where a
crossing was to be made. The little
squirrels We're quite timid about going
near to the water, but the mother
eoaxed them until they seemed to be
satisfied TO do as she wished. She ran
along the shore, and finding a piece OF
bark about foot long and six inches
wide, dragged it to the waters edge
and pushed it into the water so that
only small part of one end of the
bark was resting on tire shore. She
then induced her little ones to get on
the bark and they at once cuddled
closely together, when the old squirrel
pushed the bark and its load into the
stream, and. taking one end of the bark
in her teeth. pushed it ahead of her
until the opposite bank was reaehedg
where the young squirrels quickly
seampered up the bank of the creek,
where the mother rested for a few min
utes. when the journey was resumed. =
