Chicago dressed beef are daily shipped

and sold at prices paying heavy pro-
fits TO the dressed-beef magnates OF
the West, yet the trade in dressed

seems to be that almost Immediately

appearance checking its sale.

Forestry orators and theorists must adj
NIT after this season of unprecedented
rain hat the rainfall is governed by
causes beyond the range and influence of
forest trees and wood lots. Common
sense indicates that the spongy mass Of
moss and fallen leaves in every forest
u assist in holding moisture back, and
equalizing its flow; but Common folk
will still fancy that the existence of large
bodies of water and the evaporating
power of the suns rays have more to do
with creating rainfall than the planting
of forest trees or the preservation of over
ripe specimens of pine, spruce or hem
lock, which have stopped growing and
which stand in the way of the develop

MAS AND REAPERs


The master called to his reapers:
make scythe and sickle keen,
And bril- 6 me the grain from the uplnndS
And the grass from the meadows greep'
And from on Of the mist clad marshes,
Who're the salt waves fret and foam,
We shall gather the rustling sedges
To furnish the harvest home
Then the laborers cried: 80 master,
We will bring thee the golden grain
That WIVES on the windy hillside,
And the tender grass from the plain;
But that which springs on the marshes
Is dry and harsh and thin,
Unlike the sweet field grasses,
So we will not gather it in"
But the master said: 80 foolishi
For many a weary day,
Through Storm and drought yo have Iabored
For the grain and the fragrant hay.
The generous earth is fruitful,
And breezes of summer blow,
Where these, in the sun and the dews Of heaven,
Have ripened soft and slow.
But ont on the wide bleak urnrsh land
Hath never a pillow been set,
And with rlpipe and rage of hungry waves
The Ehivering soil is wet,
There flower the pale green sedges,
And the tides that ebb and flow,
And the biting breath OF the sea wind,
Are the only care they know.
''They have drunken of bitter waters,
Their food hath been sharp sea sand,
And yet they have yielded n harvest
Unto the masters hand.
SO shall we all, o reapcrs,
Honor them now the more,
And garner in gladness, with songs OF praise,
The grass from the desolate shore"

The money to Loan" sharks.

"Do you know what manner of sharks ad-
vertise under the department. of Money to
loan and 'Financiar in some New York
papersp asked n prominent business man ON
Thursday. "Noa Well, do. One of my
employees, whose wife had been sick and who
needed loan, fell into the hands of one Of
these men who loans money on personal
property, furniture and SO on. He was going
to squeeze the poor fellow out Of everything
he had, when l stepped In and stopped
1t. The majority of these bloodsuckers
are without souls or heart or con-
science. They refuse to loan over
800 to any person, no matter how
great the security offered They let you have
800 for sixty days on your signing a note
for $40, payable at the end of that period.
They evade the usury law by legally loaning
you $40 and charging you $40 discount.
Just think what skin that is, with millions
lying idle in Wall street which would be
gladly invested at 4 per cent. or even per
cent. per annum. With this note my man
gave a chattel mortgage on household furni-
ture worth $1,000 to 81 200. When his nots
came due he couldn't quite pay up. The shark
who held It refused to renew It, but offered
to take new note for $500 at thirty days In
place Of It.
"My man foolishly consented In fact, he
was given no chance to do anything else.
The money loaner was In tho house and
threatening to foreclose on the furniture.
Just before the thirty days were up was
told Of the transaction. When Mr.. Shark
found he had somebody to bump up against
that could fight him he became as abject and
servile as cornered confidence man. None
Of those fellows wants to fight, because that
means exposure, loss Of reputation and dam
age to their business settled that claim
for SIPS. And the money grabber was glad
to get that. If poor people who get hard up
falls into such hands as these don't wonder
they curse the rich, knowing no other type
than these ugly usurers. New York Tri.
