Hamlin Garland contributed this prett
poem to the Youths Companion:
Like liquid gold the wheat field lies,
A marvel Il yellow and russell nnd green,
That ripples and runs. and floats and flies,
With the subtitle shadows the change, thu
sheen,
That plays in the golden hair of girl
= ripple of amber-a faro
OF light sweeping after-a curl
In the hollows like swirliny feet
OF fairy walters, the colors run
To the western sun
Through the deeps Of the ripening wheat
Broad as the fleck,ess soaring sky.
Mysterious, fair as tho moon-led sea,
The vast plain flames on the dazzied eye
Under the fierce suns alchemy.
The slow hawk stoops
To his prey in the daeps;
The sunflower droops
To the lazy wave the wind sleeps.
Then all in dazzling links and loops,
a riot OF shadow and shine,
A glory of olive and amber and wine,
To tho westering sun the colors run
Through tho deeps Of the ripeninR wheat
Oglory land My western land
Out-sprsad beneath the setting sun!
Once more amid your swells stand
And cross your sod-lunds dry and dun.
hear the jocund calls Of men
Who sweep amid the ripenod grain
With ift stern reapers, once again.
The evening splonGor floods the plain
The crckets' chime
Makes pauselcss rhyme,
And splendid colors ramp and rum
Before the winds feet
In the wheat.

III. First Practical Joke.

w. ]. Florence says the first prac-
teal joke that was ever played on him
was the means Of getting him out Of
scrape, and he has felt kindly toward
that form Of wit ever since.
II was when he was a lad, playing
minor comedy parts in q Broadway
theatre at $40 a week. He thought he
was madly in love with young actress
at work for the same stipend. During
the play one night he invited her to
take some oysters after the perform
ance. Then he rushed to his lodgings,
changed his clothes, met her and took
her 10 an oyster house. His bill there
was 81. 80, but unfortunately he found
he had left all his money in his other
clothes. The waiter and the proprie-
tor both said his story was too diaph-
anous, and made him give up his
watch and his fathers ring that he
wore. Just then a white haired, be-
nevolent looking old gentleman came
out Of one of the private dining COM
partments they used TO have in those
days, and Numbered at the proprietor;
"Give that youth back his watch
and chain and ring. Let me pay his
bill. You ought 20 be ashamed, sir.
Any one can see this is an honest
youth and his companion is perfect
lady. THE lady was in tears. / viii
pay the bill and never set foot in your
place again"
Out in the street Florence was over
come with gratitude.
give me your address, sir, said he
10 the kindly old gentleman. II viii
return you the money tomorrow"
"0h, never mind, said the philan-
thropist; that was n counterfeit go
bill | handed 10 that old fool. II was
worth nothing, and he gave me SIS. 10
change for it. That's the way i make
my living. Good night" = Buffalo

ance to cattlemen to-day. For long
time the cattlemen have thought they
were losing through q combine by
commission men and large packing 2
houses, which resulted in the sale oi
their cattle at ridiculously low prices.
The scheme Of forming an immense
company composed of stock rsisers
themselves bad been bToached month

purpose Of taking the opening steps
preparatory to such action. and to-day
the work was practically finished and
the meeting adjourned until March A,
when an election Of officers Of the new
commission company will take place.
1t was decided TO incorporate the com.
pany as the American Live Stock Com

rators will be Samuel Laza :us, Of Tex

Kansas City.
Articles OF Incorporation are TO be
filed in Springfield, ILL.,, March 2. The
Idea Of the promoters Of this move
ment is TO enable them to sell tksir
stock at the highest prices and with
the least expense possible. With
that end In view headquarters will be
established at Chicago and Kansas
City, with branches at Wichita, Kan,
Fort Worth. Tex, and possibly
Omaha, Neb., where stock will be re-
ceived and sold on the commission
plan. The new company will moi

among rangemen that . very tight
