DIR. Pcppenbrook writes in Ike s.. Louis
Globe-Democrat that the general i'm
preston about wrinkles is that they are
caused by worry. but the truth is that
most of them come from laughing. To
know how TO laugh is just as important
as TO know when to do il. Ii you laugh
with the sides of your face. the skin will
work loose in time. and wrinkles will
form in exact accordance with the kind of
a laugh you have. The man who ALWAYS
wears snirk VIII have a series of semi.
circular wrinkles covering his checks.
A gambler, who is accustomed to SUD-
pressing his feelings, generally has a
deep line running from each side of his
nose TO the upper corner of his mouth,
which in course of time extends to the
chin. forming the shape Of a half-moon.
A cadaverous person is usually marked
with two wrinkles. one on the Jaw and
the other under the eye. meeting at right
angles at the cheek bones. The scholars
wrinkle forms on his brow, while
schemer's wrinkle comes around his eyes,
and looks like spoles OF wheel.

Racket StI||'c.

People are beginning to realize the
81 gnifcant meaning Of Spot Cash. The
ma uufacturer has more goods made IN
than he has sale for. He has bills to
meet, and Spot Cash has clear ring
to him. He thinks not of profit but
raising cash.
Our New York representative Is on
hand with the Almighty Dollar, and
the goods are bought at two-thlrds
their value.
Our Mr.. Rouss of New York City

eclipsing anything in the mercantile

there were not something in the Racket

To the members of the Ford County Ag

Not being able TO be present on the oc

shall submit tins letter 10 one of youl
members who is taking deep interest in
this question, James Zerbe, to be read in

to retract an opinion which l gave al
your former meeting, to the effect that
was in favor of the free range proposition
| Such was the fact at that time. but | am
now of a different position and of a diff
ferent mind as was then. after careful.
| ly weighing and laying down both sides
of the question.
thought then that it would be best
to fence in your crop so rs to save the
expense of herSiing and letting your cat
tie run for the season. that it would be
| the best and cheapest way IN the hand
linz of cattle in this country. While
| this would be the best for some it would
not be the best for many of our small
farmers, who, if compelled 10 fence their
already mortsayed farms. would then be
| compelled to leave this country, for il
would cause an overburdensome debt
from which they could not extricate
themselves in time to save their home
and farm.
Every man who is compelled to leave
here is a detriment to every man who has
Ian here, AMI to every farmer who has
hopes in the future of this country and
who IS inclined 10 stay here and give Us
helping hani in the development OF
country.
While think that the so-called free
rangers" are r ght in some points in this
argument, think that they are little
too hasty 10 ass for the free range svs-
tenn, and that We had better give the
herd law another years trial. II the

Sometimes they are too high and the pay
ment of them could be largely lessened by
increasing the productive power of an
acre of ground. For instance: A farmer
who SONS poor seed. raises scrub stock,
or buys antiquated or imperfect nipple
ments, must certainly pay proportionate-
ly high taxes. Not to mention the i'm
provement he might make by getting the
best seed and life stock, be could by a

That Wonderful I,r;dre.

The account OF the Forth bridge piyen
at the workingmen's meeting of the
British Association, is very striking. In
effect, the engineers have stretched six
horizontal Eilel towers. at a height of
$40 feet above high-watcr mark, acrcss
the estuary, and lave yet made their
structure capable CT supporting. not only
its own weight, but that oi five of our
largest irOnciads. worp they TO be ,ii,ng
from its givlcrs. The problem presented
to the builders OF the bridge was the
spanning Of 4 space a nile and half
broad. The water was too deep to allow
the sinking OF piers, and So the only
plan possible was TO utilize rocky island
in the middle OF the Forth. Two great
cantileyers. or brackets. 700 feet long.
were pushed out from each side of the
space to be spanned. and then connected
by steel girder $50 feet long. The
weight OF the metal employed is $4,000
tons, and yet the structure may be de-
pended upon to carry an additional
weight of i4,G00 tons, while three times
the fury Of the worst storm ever recorded
can break upon the bridge without the
slightest danger. The work is undoubt-
edly one of the greatest, if not the great
est feat of engineering. ever performed.
Oddly enough, the cantilcvcr princirie
of construction, though it has long been
in Use in China, was never employed in
Europe or America till the publication of
the designs for the Forth bridge. 1t is
likely. however, TO become common
enough in the future.
