VISIONARY YOUNG MEN.
witha Gs eat Fortune Always in Sight, They
A. Are Always Poor.

Are Always Poor.
The world has in it many men like
the one mentioned below, Usually
they have great deal to say about
their "bad luckn and things going
against them" Visionary and unsta-
Bile they go through life with all their
hopes unrealized and all their plans
failures. When hardly more than a
boy he began as an apprentice with
the leading carpenter and builder in a
large city Three months later he
was found clerking in a store on a
salary of five dollars a week.
'Tarpentering is too slow way for
a fellow to get rich," he said, ''you
have to fool away two or three good
years of your life learning the BUSH
ness before you can make any thing
pay from the stayt. A fellow can
make more in a year in business life
than he can in five years as builder"
Six months later he was found in an
uninviting little room with case or
two of eggs and several tubs of butter
having gone into business for himself
on borrowed money.
"Clerking don't pay" he said "The
sooner fellow gets into business for
himself the better, and | tell you
there's clear profit of one-half on
every dollar you take in in this butter
and egg business; it pays big"
Evidently he didn't take in many
dollars, for he was soon after found in
a business college learning stenogra-
ply and type-writing.
There's big money in it," he said,
enthusiastically, land there was too
snuch competition in the butter and
egg business, | know of court ste
nographer who is making two hundred
u month right along; and it don't take
much time to learn the business"
But he did not learn the whole bust
ness He suddenly discovered that
stenography was "overdone," and he
concluded to study law.
lawyers get rich sooner than any
other class of men. Think of them
getting fee of ten thousand dollars
for a single case. Yes, sir! And the
laws so simplifed now that a fellow
can pick up all he needs of it to prac-
tiGe in less than no time"
Naturally, he gave up the study of
law in a short time. Then he spent
three months working on a patent
shoe-buttOner that amounted to moth
ing, although he said it was worth a
million dollars,
Henext went West, but instability
and lack of purpose are worth.no more
there than in the East, and he came
back pronouncing the West the great
est humbug of the age. .....,
He tried canvassing, reporting, type
writing and bookkeeping, but gave up
each occupation for something that
promised immediate and great wealth.
He has married in the meantime,
and be and his wife successfully
boarded, kept house, took their meals
out and rented lodging-house With
q great fortune always in sight, he is
always poor. Unmindful of the fixed
rules of success in life, he spends his
days IN seeking the short cut to wealth
that such men never tind.-YOuth'S

Now that the elections are over,
things are again settling down to their
normal condition. While the battle
waged fast and furious other matters
were lain aside for the time being, and
everything was lost sight of in the all
absorbing issues of the hour. The
questions have been settled. the dry
goods box politician has gone back to
find his coat where he threw it off,
three months ago, in warm political
discussion. The man who was always
on the corner with a knife in one hand
and a stick in the other, looking wise
bat saying nothing, has finally Whitfield
the stick to a stub, thrown it away,
closed his knife and is in search of a
job. The politician is gradually losing
the suave manner that oiled his VIZ be-
fore the ballots were all in. Then
there is the man who always gets famil
lar with the political leaders during the
campaign; We mean the man who walks
up and gives the gubernatorial candi-
date a punch in the ribs with all the
assurance of an old acquaintance of
twenty years standing. He is probably
the most interesting character develop
ed during the campaign. He is full of
importance until his ballot is safely
slowed in the ballot box, and he then
knows that with it disappears all his
short lived familiarity. He sadly turns
him face homeward realizing that for
his the candidate will have no smile of
welcome until the next election rolls
round.

GIVING PROPER CARE.

How to Secure the Largest Amount OF
Profit From Cows.
We may consider that there are two
important branches of work connected
with securing the largest amount of
profit in the dairy. One of these il
good cows properly cared for, and the
other is in the proper handling of the
milk, cream and butter after it is Sc
cured. 1t is not all in the cows as
with many of these 4 much better prod
uct could be secured if proper care was
given to the COWS.
In fact, in many localities it is not
through the lack of cows, but that of
proper care that we fail to realize the
profit that we should. Even with a
good COW it Is possible to make q
considerable difference in the yield,
not only with the feed, but also the
sheltering, the watering and the gen.
eral care. And when it is through the
lack of this that we fail to derive the
benefit we should. the remedy lies
within ourselves. Wien it is the fault
Of the COWS, a change may be made
necessary, but if the fault is with the
feed and care, we must change the
plan of doing this. There is really less
excuse when the fault is in the
care than with any thing else, be-
cause to considerable extent
it Is the easiest remedied; we
can give good feed and good care with
very little difficulty. and often with a
very little difference in the expense.
If we must change the feed Of the cows
or change the management of the milk
and cream, considerable extra expense
may be entailed even if the change is
made properly, but in giving good feed
and care. very light increase will be
necessary.
1t is not altogether the fault of the
COWS, or is the business IS a rule suf-
fering so much from the lack of good
cows as from the proper feed and care
to secure the best results. There is no
question but that in many cases the
failure to realize a fair profit from the
cows is directly traceable to the failure
to provide good feed and give good
care. And there is no occasion for
selling off the cows we have until by
fair trial we have ascertained whether
it is our own neglect or the fault of
the cows to give us profitable supply
of milk.
If with reasonable good feed and
care we iail to secure a profitable
amount of milk, then it is best to make
change, but until this is the case,
keep what you have got.-M j. Shop

Returns so far in from the doubtful
states indicates the election of Harri-
son and Morton. New York has been
carried by the republicans by plurali-
ty of about s, 900, and Indiana follows
with majority for the republicans of
about :, 200. The democrats have car
ried New Jersey and Connecticut and
possibly California Illinois has gone
republican by reduced majority.
Ohio has shown large democratic gal ms
The republicans will probobly have
control of the lower house, though it is
too early at the present time to make
estimates. Hill will again fill the ex-
ecutive chair at Albany. In Kansas
the republicans have carried the state
by an increased majority.
In New York the manufacturers
flowed in with their contributions in
platoons, regiments and divisions. See
ing their pet scheme in imminent dan
ger of overthrow, urged threatened
and entreated by the republican exec
utive committee, they at last walked up
to realization of their danger from
the steady inroads made into their
ranks and towards the close they
marched up in a solid phalanx and
poured in their gold. Though reform
has suffered defeat, the seeds that
have been sown during the past year
will continue to grow and bear fruit.
While We are forced to believe that the
country was not ready for the change
the exigencies of the situation justified
Cleveland in making the issue. 1t is
q question that requires careful study
and must take time to educate the peo-
pie up to it. The surface argument is
with the protectionists, and their fail
ing to meet the issue squarely by the
free trade cry could not be overcome in
the short time Of one year. That tar
if reform will eventually win there is
no doubt in our minds. Though Cleve-
land has met defeat, he has struck
Flows that will eventually free the
masses from the domination of the
classes. If the republicans carry out
the platform Of the party, on which the
their candidates have stood, it will pre-
sage sweeping victory for the demo-
Gratis in 1892. This carrying the pro-
lection idea to prohlbitive point will
eventually sweep the whole system
from existence.

A RIVAL OF WOOL.
Imported Garments Made Of the Hair
Russian Cows,

Imported Garments Made OF tho Hair Of
Russian Cows.
Cows hair has never been highly
valued as a textile production, but
through recent inventions that almost
valueless substance may take an i'm.
portant position among the natural
productions of this country. Shortly
it is likely to appear as rival of wool,
and cows will be cultivated for their
hair as well as for the present mani
fold reasons. A Walker street i'm
porter received consignment of hair
telling, and the question arose as to
what class of duty it should be subject
to. Running through the material
were little woody fibers, and to the I'M
professional eye and touch it seemed
as though wool formed portion of the
fibric. The collector at first thought
that the material should be admitted
only under the high wool import duty.
This the importer objected to and sent
Prof. Doremus down to the custom
house to explain to Mr.. Magone the
difference between various kinds of
wool. A microscopic examination Of
the felt disclosed the fact that certain
kind of COW hair. having more the
properties of wool than most cows
hair, had been used most successfully
to knit the hair together. The possible
tiles of the American COW seem to be
almost unlimited. But she will not
carry all the glory of furnishing this
country with heavy fabric. Among
her rivals will be thousands of horses,
and even the homeless, valueless yell
low cur will be thought something Of
by somebody outside of the ranks Of
dog-catchers. The only requisite now
remaining is to produce hair with a
certain amount Of woolish qualities.
The hair of American cows does not
possess SO much of the essential "kind-
ness" as does that of some of the
Russian breeds. but with careful train
ing and breeding that could be obtained.
II have frequently SEEM" said Prof.
Doremus, "a big ball of hair taken
from a cows stomach, after she had
been licking herself, that had been SO
closely packed by the action Of the
stomach that it was almost impossible
to tear it apart The Russian bair I'M
der the glass looks very much like the
skin Of an alligator; it is filed with
little irregularities which cause it to
fasten. Soldiers boots, non-conduct-
ing wrapping for boilers and steam
pipes and soles for slippers arc made
from the hair.-M r Tribune.

All. there, Ben!
The Union Labor ticket cut quite a
figure in the county election.

The voters of Dodge City over
whelmingly defeated the improvement
bonds, thereby showing their disap-
proval Of this extravagant and useless
expenditure of money. 1t is reported
that Mayor Tarbox became over zeal
Gus in his support of the bonds, and
even went so far as to destroy the tick
cts in the second ward that had the
word against printed on them. If
the report is true, Mayor Tarbox has
certainly taken extraordinary power
upon himself. Neither in the capacity
of private citizen nor public official has
Mr.. Tarbox the right to pursue such a
course. We shall be called upon in a
few days to vote bonds that will be OF
immeasurably more benefit to our city
than these bonds could possibly be, and
it was with this in view that the citi-
zens defeated the improvement bonds.
