GOOD ADVICE.
What Mr.. Childs' Gardener Thought Al tut
Cunning for President.

What MI. Ch1idS' Gardener InOu&nC AE NuC
Running for President.
An old gardener at Louella, who was
employed by George w. Childs to super
intend his flower beds. went forth to
meet Mr.. Childs one day in the spring
of 'sS, and opened the gate for the pro
prietor, saying to him at the same
time: MIR. Childs, I read things in the
newspapers which make me think that
you are losing your mind, and I'm wor-
ried about it. Are you well, Mr..
CHILDISH
Perfectly well, my dear man." re-
sponded Mr.. Childs. Il was never in
better health in my life, and no one
ever before suspected me of insanity.
What have you seen in the papers to
awaken such ideas?"
ssWell, Mr.. Childs, the newspapers say
that you want to leave your beautiful
gardens here and turn your back on
these rare roses. Why, there is no such
garden in Pennsylvania as this, and no
one in the world raises such varieties OF
superb roses. There is your own La
France, the finest thing in petals any
one ever saw bud and bloom. The pa
pers say that you want to leave this glo-
rious spot, and If you do, Mr.. Childs, you
are crazy"
s'But, assure you, my man, that I
never heard of such thing before.
never saw any thing in the newspapers
about my giving up this beautiful home.
do not intend to give it up or leave
it."
ssWell, Mr.. Childs. the papers do say
that you are going to run for President.
That's foolishness, for there amt . gar

this one. You'd be foolish to be Presi-

For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring In redress to all mankind
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes OF life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;

But ring the fuller minstrel In.

''The great Chicago trinity-saloon,

from the East once upon time called
the combination, and, to tell the truth,
he was not far from summing the whole
thing up correctly.
Saloons and drug stores are very
much alike wherever one may go, and
it would be waste of words to speak
about them, but description of what
Chicago offers in the way of eating
houses will throw some light on a mat
ter in which every body is interested.
First of all, then, Chicago has restau-
rants for all classes and conditions of
human beings. Restaurants for the
rich, restaurants for the poor, restau-
rants for women, restaurants for ne
groes, restaurants for Germans, restau-
rants for Frenchmen, restaurants for
rat-and-rice eating heathens, lunch
counters for busy clerks and eating
halls for tramps and other impecunious
individuals.
There are, for instance, gorgeous
dining halls for the representatives of
the four hundred who may desire to
dine outside of their clubs, where a
piece of sirloin steak costs a dollar and
q look at the head waiter adds quar-
ter to the bill, where garcons in full
dress fit hither and thither with noise
less tread, where finger-bowls are in
everyday use and where even the
fashionable mouth-bowl is not a
stranger.

ask. Why, the mouth-bowl is a Russian

While Prices Are Low, Stock
should Be Improved Says the
Western Rural.
There must always be a steady de-
mard for beef, of course, as there is
steady demand for all farm products.
So far as the demand is concerned,
therefore, the beef producer is war
ranted to go ahead in his business. But
what if prices are not remunerative?
Nell. is it not the fact that as rule the
Drice of one farm product is about as
good as the price of another farm
product is? The causes of the depres7
sion of prices for cattle have been
frequently discussed. One cause is
whatever others may be-that prices
genraelly are low. Is it fact that the
grain fed to cattle now and for the past
two years brings as good return, to say
the least. as it would bring If twas mar
keted without feeding the cattle. We
think that we all agree that such is the
case. tits pretty difficult under present
conditions to say what is best for the
farmer to do. Perhaps the best advice
| is to say to him to go right along i'll the
even tenor of his wayS-provlded
his ways are naturally good and
not to drop the breeding and
| feeding of cattle to too low scale. we
| freely admit that we have too many cat
| tie, and we certaily should advise the
farmer to keep only reasonable num7
Der of head. Certainly it is no time to
stock up heavily with cattle. Keep a
fair herd of cattle, fair herd of swine,
and perhaps enlarge the breeding of
horses. Farming in this country is not
| going to the dogs. There is future
for it. Too much depends upon sue
cessful agriculture in the United States
to permit of the thought that it will al
ways pay as poorly as 1T does now.
But none of us need be told that the
prices for beef cattle warn us to do two
things. Breed and feed the best, and
produce our beef at the least possible
cost. There never was better time tc
improve our herds. Good cattle as vel
as poor cattle are cheap. Good bulls
we're never cheaper. 1t is not difficult
therefore, to have good herds. Nor i:
it difficult in many cases to produces
beef cheeper than 1t is being produced
IT requires only additional care to do it
MANY feeders have no idea at ali wha
their beef does cost them That is al
WRONG. In these close times we canno
| afford to feed at random.

1t is remarkable how rapidly the peo-
pie are taking to the use OF mutton. A
few years ago, we are told, sheep meat
was seldom ever used except by the
poorer classes, but now it is to be found
upon every table, and the number mar
keted is increasing wonderfully. The
loin of a fat mutton now takes the place
largely of yenison, and is considered
about the best meat dish that can be
served. The majority OF the sheep
shipped from this country to
the Chicago and other markets.
however, are not considered the
most desirable, though they are gen
orally in as fine condition as the best
stabilized mutton. Our wool growers
seldom care to part with sheep under
four years old, while the most desirable
muttons are lambs and yearlings. Not
long ago a wool grower OF our acquaint-
ance remarked in our hearing that he
had received letter asking him to ship
East his last springs crop OF lambs.
The letter, he said, was long and argu-
mentative. The writer, gentleman
posted in the New York markets. set
forth the claim that the fat lambs
were worth from 81 to %, and
that it was more profitable to the grower
to sell at that price than keep them. Ii

SMALLER HERDS.
MANY of the Big Ranchmen Are
Cuttine Them Down.

Some of the oldest and best known
rancbmen in Texas, Montana and the
intermediate range country are cutting
down their herds by marketing tue
heifers, yearling steers and calves, says
he Drover's Journal. A few years ago
such a thing as marketing range calves
had never been heard of or thought OF.
Int it is now come to be quite feature
of the calf receipts. In the days when
fhe range business was booming, calves
and yearlings were worth more at
home than any butcher could pay.
Since then. however, it has been differ
ent. When it was plainly evident that
the ranges in all directions were over
stocked, the question of how to reduce
the herds became au important one.
The first move was to market all OF the
AGED beef cattle closer than ever before.
The ranchmen stopped buying ou!iS,
which they had been loading up with
heavily: then they began to market all
two-year-olds and spay the helfers. All
of this seemed to make but
little impression. Then ranch
men commenced to send in their
warnings, and to still further cut
down production by marketing heifers
and breeding COWS and some bulls moi
too old for service. Latterly they have

THREE GREAT GENERALS,
Whose Portraits Are to Be Pre-
scented to West Point.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The pOr-
traits of Gems. Grant, Sheridan and
Sherman, which were painted by direc-
ton of George W. Childs for the United
States military academy, will be for
mally transferred to that institution
Oct. 8. Gen. Horace Porter will repre-.
sent Mr.. Childs upon the occasion, and
will deliver an appropriate address In
presenting the portraits. Col. John M.
Wilson, superintendent of the academy,
will receive them. The corps of cadets
will be paraded and take part in the
ceremonies, which will be held in Grant
hall during the afternoon. 1t is
eypected that the secretary of war, Gen.
SchOfield. Gen. Howard, Gen. Kelton
and others prominent in military and
civil circles will be present at the pre-
| sentation ceremonies. These portraits
were to have been presented last June,
| but the presentation was postponed
upop the request of the board OF visitors
fo the academy. Gen. Lew Wallace
who was present, was asked to make
| fine presentation address, but that gen
tieman, on account of pressing engage
ments. was compelled to decline. There
mon Mr.. Childs solicited Gen. Horace

| Grant and whose personal knowledge OF
| Sherman and Sheridan make the selec
| finn very proper and fitting.
