The outlook for the great cattle rails
ing industry of Wyoming, where the
"round-ups" are now going on, is report
ed more promising than il has been for
several years. From $4,000 TO 75OC0
head will be ready to ship by the eud of
October, it is thought. Prices are high
er than for two years past, and moreover
the stGokmen have learned not TO over
crowd the ranges and take abundant pre-
caution against the severity of the winter
season. Cattle-rauching is a romantic
and adventurous occupation, and appeals
very strongly to young men OF athletic

much acquainted with the ways of the

there's nothing more cowardly than a

its life out against the town hall;

general destruction. But how does it
act when it strikes great city? 1t is
like the cowboy who, having shot out
the lights of n frontier saloon and
made himself master of the place, goes
to big town and piteously begs for a
drink. 1t gathers up dust and throws
it in the eyes of the people, but it does
not demolish the chamber of com

A HUSBANDS Wall.

Dear Gcnevieve, you were so sweet
When first you gave your hand to me,
So charming. love; from head TO feet
You were a perfect symphony.
The pretty bang upon your brow,
The dainty ribbons that you wore
shut my eyes and see them now;
Thus memory doth the past restore.
To see n maiden half so fair
One weary miles would have to go;
You were so neat, and in your hair
You used to have a Jacqueminot.
1 see you tripping down the lane
With pretty slippered feet again:
You used to come in shine or rain
My wife, you were my sweetheart then.
The collar that you wore was clean
Fresh from the iron, I should guess;
You came to me with smiling mien,
A VISION rare Of loneliness.
To-day around the house you go;
Your slippers down at heel appear;
Your hair has not a JacQueminot-
/ think it needs a comb, my dear.
Your collars soiled; the ribbons gone
Which at your throat you used to wear;
You have no smile for me, my own
Your wrapper sadly needs repair.
How different. darling. you appear.
Is mine the fault? Unhappy fatei
think you've hooked your fish, my dear,
And have no further use for bait

ONE CENTURY AGO.
Tue Average Price Paid for Land at That
Time.

Time.
Life in the United States was in those
days almost altogether rural. Towns
of 5000 or more inhabitants then con-
tanned but fraction over three per
cent. of the population of the country,
where now they contain more than
twenty-five per cent. Philadelphia, in
deed, had nearly $4,000 inhabitants,
New York $4,000, Boston $4,000.
Charleston 10000, Baltimore $4,000;
but these were all. Coke was of opinion
that nine-tenths of the people of the
United States were engaged in agri-
cultural occupations.
DR.. Thomas Cooper, the famous En-
glish economist during his residence
in America, prepared an interesting
little book entitled Some Information
Respecting America"
On the subject of price, Dr.. Cooper
says: "a hundred and fifty acres of
land with tolerable house and barn
upon it, and sufficient land cleared for
person Immediately to begin as a
farmer, may be purchased in many
parts at "a currency an acre." that is,
he says, not quite fifty shillings sterling.
Rich but unimproved land, he thought,
could be had for thirty shillings cur
rency an acre. Of course, much more
depended then than now on the near
ness of a market, transportation being
very costly. We may quote from Wan
sey's Journal an example of the cheap
est, amusing from the classical names
with which the Deputy Secretary Of
State had then been sprinkling Central
New York.
"Monday l attended sale of some
military lands (by auction at the Ton
line Coffee House, situated in the north
part of New York State. Twenty-Five
acres in the Township of Cato were
sold at two shilliugs and eight pence
currency per acre, Us. Cd. sterlingD
500 in Pompey, at five shillings and one
penny, (2s. 10d. sterlingD 900 in Tully
and Hannibal, at three shillings and
eight pence, Us. 1d.0 1,400 in Hector
and Dryden, at three shillings and
eight pence, Us. 1O."
In these cases the average price was,
it will be seen. little over fifty cents
an acre. On the other hand, the Duke
de la Observation-Disclosures gives
one instance, at Marlborough, Mass,
of farming lands worth $500 an acre.
La Rochefoucauld very often gives
prices of lands he sees. 1t appears that
these averaged $25 or $50 an acre in
thickly-settled New England, less in
Pennsylvania, and from IS to $12 in
Virginia. In the latter State land
seemed to be going down in value. But
elsewhere its price was rising, and an
extraordinary amount of land specu-
lation went on, mainly occasioned by
the great sales of lands effected by the
States in order to pay their debts. Thus
the Duke tells Of land near Lancaster,
Penn, bought for 1926, for which $1OO
was refused five years later, and OF
LOCO acres near Canandaigua, N. T.,
bought three years before at shilling,
of which more than half had since been
sold off at prices ranging FROM 81 to 49,
while some had even brought S26 al
acre. N Y. Tribune.
