The DuIlDes. Of Men.

Men are queer things. Did you ever
notice with what contempt they win
say, "Just like womanY | was in
box at a theatre the other evening. The
box was one Of those family affairs that
can accommodate several. As my in
terest only extended to two Of the seats,
the other chairs were at the disposal Of
whoever might stray along. Somewhere
during the second act two men saunt-
cred in and took possession of seats d.
rectly back of me. Satisfied with their
dinner, and particularly so with them
selves, they were oblivious of the play
or any other occupants of the box. They
discussed the dinner they had just left,
and the guests. After wholesale re-
view Of the affair they settled down to
the discussion of one particular woman
IA bright, social star noted for her pow
ers Of entertaining.
One of them said: "She is deuced1y
pretty woman, you know, and knows
how to dress. It was lucky for me
could answer all Of those questions. OF
course it gave me an opportunity to ex-
plain some matters that would have
been In poor taste to have done volun-
tarily, but, by Jove, what string of
questions. Well, it is just like awoman."
Now, isn't that just like man9 With
out any doubt that man was having a
stupid time until that bright little wom-
an gave him an opportunity to talk upon
some subject that he knew something
about. She probably knew much more
about the subject than he did, but In
stead of establishing reputation for
herself she asked adroit questions that
brought to light latent brilliancy In
the man that in his conceit he had never
discovered. And instead of approaching
her efforts as entertaining, he recognized
only that questions were "just like y

What They Do in a Branding
Roundup.
Why Cattle Arc Always Driven North
Seven Horses for Each Rider-What
q Night Storm Means to u Cow
Outfit on the Range.

The sun is beginning to lift its broad
disk above the line which marks East
ern sky and land. 1t is big, red SIN
and will become smaller and hotter as
it climbs the dome of day. 1t is sun
rise in the Cherokee strip and the first
long slanting rays light up rolling
prairie, illimitable in expanse and
stretching away until its irregular,
wavy outline is marked against the sky.
Now and then, and miles away, small
clumps of stunted cedars and jack-oaks
make dark-green polka-dot in the
lighter colors of the grass, while q
streak of thickly growing trees which
.serpentines across the scene marks the
rocky channel OF some water course.
There will be breeze to-day and the
long grass, now cool with dew, is al
ready seen to bend and move under its
influence.
Over to the north mile glances the
white canvas cover of wagon. 1t is
the ''chuck wagon" of roundup outfit,
and the thin blue smoke which rises
near it shows that breakfast is going
forward. To the left herd Of some
1000 cattle of all sorts and sizes, from
the complaining calf to the adult, is
stretching slowly to the northwest, the
members whereof are feeding as they
move. Three cowboys in big hats,
booted, spurred, with cotton handker-
chiefs knotted loosely about their sun
Drowned necks and waists adorned with
a cartridge-laden belt and its dependent
six-shooter, ride slowly about on the
sides and rear Of the herd, never urging,
but holding and pointing the animals
in the proper direction. The present
purpose of this outfit is to work to the
nearest pen and brand the unmarked
calves it has collected.
Branding is the most important fea-
ture OF ranch life. 1t is the purpose Of
a ranch owner to keep his cattle within
certain limits, which limits, however,
expand and grow with his herds. These
limits are called his range, and, being
free pasture, are occupied, not only by
his, but by the cattle Of perhaps twenty
other owners. Each owner to protect
himself has his brands, such as X, L
\, L i T, etc. Ex-senator Dorsoy's
brand is q triangle of equal sides en-
closing dot and Is known to the cattle
world as the '''triangle-dot" brand.
These brands are on the left OF right
side of the animal and owners rights |

marks. There are divers methods Of |
ear-marking we'll known to cattlemen,
and are variously called swallow-fork,
under-crop under or over-bit, under or
over-hack, crop, half-crop etc. The pur-
pose Of an ear markis greater safety to
owners, but aside from that, 1t Is

THE FARMERS NEED.

Mr.. Blaine as . Witness that the mckinley
Bill In Hostile to the Interest OF the
Farmer.
After Mr.. Blaine's recent letter to
Senator Frye, it does not seem neces-
sary to go into any very elaborate argu-
ment to show that the present tariff and
the proposed Mckinley tariff are hostile
to the interests Of the American farmer.
Mr.. Blaine is protectionist of unim-
peachable orthodoxy, and Republican
OF the straightest sect He, more than
any other one man, Is responsible for
the radical position which his party now
occupies on the tariff question, for it was
under his leadership in the campaign OF
1884 that the party came to advocate
protection for projections sake. Yet hO
says in the Frye letter:
II do not doubt that in many respects
the Tariff bill pending in the Senate Is
just measure, and that most Of its pro-
visions are in accordance with the wise
policy Of protection. But there Is not
section or line in the entire bill that
will open the market for another bushel
of wheat or another barrel Of pork"
That is very serious charge, 1t means
that Mr.. Blaine's Republican friends
have constructed tariff bill which,
however much it will help the various
trusts, is sure to have disastrous results
upon the largest and most important in
dustry in the Countrywide agricultural
industry.
If there is one thing that the farmer
needs more than another 1t is q market
He has large surplus each year which
he can not dispose Of at remunerative
prices. The supply is largely in excess
of the demand, and so prices fall to such
an extent as to threaten the farmers
with bankruptcy. That is the situation
under the present tariff. The markets
are too narrow as 1t is. One would
think that those charged with the con-
this defect. And yet after the McKin-
ley-Reed crowd has done its work,
the great Republican chieftain de-
clares that their tariff twill not open
the market for another bnshel of wheat
or another barrel Of pork" The farm
ers did not contribute to Dudley's
''blOcks OF five" fund, therefore they
are left out in the distribution Of favorA
''0ur foreign market for breadstuffs
grows narrower" says Mr.. Blaine.
What relief do the tariff builders offer?
Absolutely none. The proposed pro-
lection Is . sham, for the farmer IL sub
ject to no competition in the home mar
ket The effect Of the increased duties
will be to still further narrow his mar
ket for they stand in the way Of trade
that is their avowed object-and they
are sure to provoke retaliation on the
part OF foreign nations And when that
war Of retaliation begins-nay, Il has
already begun in France and Germany
1T is the farmers products that win
suffer.
Mr.. Blaine Is right And tits enoonF-
aging 70 know that many of tho farm
era notably thoSs IN Minnesota. have -

which they have been humbuggsl n

Mcktnley'S farmers tariff u turthog
derided by Butterworth:
What use TO him 1.-THE farmer) 10 atarlff on
wheat? We doa't import any. OF what avail
10 duty on corn7 We can't bring peck
from abroad. hut We have suooeeded In
shutting ourselves out Of the Canadian mar
ket, where We sold over Sal. 900 worth OF
farm products each year. "But." says the
adversary, I'VE shut the Canadian out Of our
market" Yes, We burned the farmers can
die nc both ends. We euchered him by shut
ting MIN out Of the market where he sold
large part Of his surplus and kept our peo-
pic from buying Of the Canadian what NO
don't produce In kind and quality &C home.
And what are the protected manu-
facturers doing TO deserve the high pro-
lection that we are giving them at the
expense Of the farmers? Butterworth
answers:
In the meantime Il 10 claimed with q show
OF justice that the favored ones are charging
your homo folks more for the output ofthelT
plants than they charge foreigners for many
lines Of goods. And there are those who
deem It possible that the people will APP
prove OF that course Of conduct, relying on
q Republican Senate TO disregard the pro-
tests Of those who suffer.
And what fine attack Is this on the
present rage for high and higher duties:
1repeat again-and the approving echoes
are coming back from all points OF the COM
pass-that every Increase In the rate OF pro-
tective duty beyond what Is essential 20 So
cure to our manufacturers an equal oppor.
tunlty with their foreign rivals in the COM
petitive field Is q gross wrong to the tax
payers. the consumers, and 10 anti Repub-
lican. It IL blunder that 10 akin to O crime.
And we are confronted with the charge
that we are still laundering and voting it In
the interest Of few thousands and at the
expense OF the milllons The injury comes
In various forms. It's most humlllating as
pect is in the fact that IL makes our pros
perity partial and makes the mass OF tho
people the servants of the few, and does lt
In the name and under the gu.se Of protect
Ing labor and cherishlng our infant indus
tries.
As the remedy, finally, to all this un-
reasonable high tariff policy Of exclu-
sion Butterworth says we must remove
all the barriers that hamper our COM
merce and rule US out of the markets Of
the Western Hemisphere. We must not
yield to "the clamor Of few along the
border who would ignorantly or selfish
ly sacrifice the broad interests Of ma
ton Of sixty-five millions of people to
the special, peculiar and wholly partial
advantage III 1t could. in fact, prove an
advantage, which I utterly deny,) Of q
very few" for ''this is Nation, not q
and our legislation must
be fashioned to promote the good Of all"
Now let Butterworth vote as he
thinks, and all friends of Q low and
reasonable tariff will believe in his sim j.
certify, and claim him as co-worker for
the best interests Of the country.

THE KING.BIRD'S PREY.
It Carries TUT of Feathers with Which
IL Charms Honey Bees.

It Charms Honey Bees.
Benjamin Franklin Huntington. in
old Franklin town, a few miles north OF
Norwich, keeps great many bees, and
he often wondered what it was that
thinned out his swarm. Finally he shot
king-bird, one of flock Of the birds
that continually lowered about his gar
den near the bee hives. He dissected
it and found thirteen honey bees in its
crop The king-bird was killed early
in the forenoon, so had barely COM
pleted his breakfast at that time. 1t is
the opinion Of Mr.. Huntington that q
flock of king-birds, If they are not in
terrupted, will clean out hive Of bees
in one season. Mrs. Huntington's little
grandson, Huntington Phelps Mech,
who is studying natural history, says
the king-bird uses the little tuft OF red
feathers on its head with which to charm
the honey bees. The bird alights on
the swaying top Of mullen stalk or in
bush or tree, he says, then turns its
head on one side, so it will resemble
flower, then ruffles the rosy tuft of
feathers for q charm. The bee comes
humming along the flower-like tuft and
Just as it is about to settle down into
the turf the king bird snaps up the bee
and bolts it Then he sets the trap or
charm again and in moment gets an
other honey bee. The king-bird. also, is
the bravest of feathered champions He
defends weaker birds and their nests
against all marauders, doing itseeming-
ly for very love of fighting. Crows, which
steal and suck song birds eggs, are his
game always He viii chase q crow a
mile and in that time peck all the feath-
ers and skin from the black robbers
head. To escape his little tormentor q
crow often has to plunge into thick
tree or . th!cket. where the little fight
or can't get at him As q reward for
such services he catches honey bees
