Improving isangs Cattle
n the Texas Live Stock Journal.

There will be no ''die-up" among the cattle this winter iI Texas. They will % into the winter in fine condition, and if is safe to calculate that at least 99 per cent will come out of it with their lives. If has got to be ap old, old and often re- heated story, but, nevertheless, very true one, that it pays to improve live stock and raise good animals. A thoroughbred bull costs comparatively little. He will serve from twenty to forty COWS, and do good service for at least five years. His offsprings at year ings are worth $2 per head more, and at two-year-olds $4 per head more, and at maturity $l0 per head more than those of the scrub bull. The arguments in favor of better stock of all kinds are too numerous and self-eyident and too well known to all to admit repeating here. It is therefore the intention of the Journal at this particular time to ask it's readers to think about it, and act as their interests unmistakably demands.
 Unusual excitement was created in Cincinnati the other day, over a discov- cry made by divers who are preparing 10 SILK d NhloHpll lOi bilN hCN iANkCs III digging, the men came across the hull of a steamboat sunk over forty years ago and sought for long time, but without success. At the time named the steamer Moselle, with 200 omigrants who had come aboard at Pittsburg for Southern ports, sank somewhere in the neighbor- hood mentioned. The stream was high and many lives were lost. In the safe on board was large sum of money, never recovered. The wreck is fourteen feet under ground. When the news of the find became known thousands aocked to the scene and old river men recalled the wreck. The divers fastened ropes and chains to the hull and to- morrow it will be pulled out. The divers say the wreck is in good preser- yation and they judge that most of the cabin is gone, but from the cabin floor down it is all right, Dead bodies and the safe will be sought for.
 A member of congress is responsible for the well-known phrase "Acknowl- edged the corn" In 1928 Alexander Stewart said in speech that Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana sent their hay stacks, cornfields and fodder to New York and Philadelphia for sale. Wick life, another memter, called him to order, declaring that those States did not send their haystacks and cornhelds to the eastern cities for sale. "Well, what do you sendP' asked Stewart. "Why. horses, mules, cattle, and hogs" "Well, what makes your horses, mules, cattle, and hogs2" queried Stewart. You feed $l0O worth of hay to horse. In doing that you just animate your haystack and get on top of it and ride off to market. How much corn does it take to iatten hog, Mir. Wickliffe ?" "Thirty-three bushels" i" replied the man from Kentucky. "1hen you just put thirty-three bushels of corn in the shape of a hog and walk him off to market" said Stewart. At this point Tn the debate Wickliffe sprang to his feet and exclaimed very huridly, "Mr. Speaker! Mir. Speaker I acknowledge the corn" The incident caused quite a laugh among the members and was never forgotten.

THE MARKETS.

NEW YORK, November 5.-The stock market today was reactionary in its nature The bears soon got to work in sugar this morning. The selling was heavy and attended by considerable excitement, the stock dropping per cent to 57 in the first half hour, Feeble rallies took place in the stock srom time to time during the day, but late in the day its prices touched a11,a loss Of6lI per nt,while at the close it only reached 55 per cent. In railroads, a sudden and pro nOunced likeness was developed in Wander bilts and the list could not withstand such in- Auence. Final changes are, with few e1eep- tons, material losses. New York Central is down 2I% per cent, Lake Shore ? per cent Mis- souri Pacific and Union Pacific, each IF per cent and others, fractional amounts.

After the toll and turmoil
And the anguish Of trust belied,
After the burden of weary cares
Baffied longings, ungranted prayers;
After the passion and fever and fret,
After the aching Of vain regret,
After the hurry and heat of strife,
The yearning and tossing that men call
''life;"
Faith that mocks, and fair hopes denied.

When the golden bowl is broken
At the sunny fountain side;
When the turf lies green end cold above
Wrong and sorrow and loss and love;
When the great dumb walls of silence stand
At the doors Of the undiscovered land;
When all we have left ia our olden place
Is an empty chair and ictured face;
Wher the prayer is ended, and the sigh Is
sighed.

Soldiers Indian Hardships.

In a land Of leeches you should think
twice before wading in water. Other
wise you may emerge with shaggy COW
ering of jet black. Something like this
has happened to two British warriors in
India, Privates Speed and Davis, who,
having left Bareilly for days sport and
lost their way, were fastened upon by
the leeches in the pools which they had
to cross barelegged. The two soldiers
wandered about hopelessly for nine days.
Bareilly is near the jungles of Nepaul,
the favorite home Of the tiger; but be-
fore the nine days were out Davis and
Speed would have given year or two Of
their lives for the sight of an honest wild
pig.
It is a marvel that the two did not die
of hardship. The heat in upper India
in July is simply terrific. Yet the two
survived it, exposed to the suns rays
during the day, sleeping in the open air
at night. Not village did they come
across, not a human being, for the whole
region was submerged by the yearly
floods. They began by catching butter
flies, and they finished off by being found
nine-tenths dead beside the metals of
railway line. The first solid food they
had in nine days was two "chupatties.
A chupatty is a wheaton cake, not un-
like Scotch hammock. There's nothing
about the restorative "pig," but doubt
less it came in time.-London News

the public what it is. Such a medicine
we found Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,

off several attacks that were threaten

have since relieved, in a few hours,
severe colds, and in the course of two or

its use, as we have several of our friends

the expedition are Lieutenant Langheid
and DR.. Stulilmann. During the first lew
days progress was difficult. The rain fell
in torrents, and the deep mud made the
march an arduous one. The bearers, each
deep in the mud, and repeatedly fell.
Emin lost many of bis people during these
marches. Some died of exhaustion and
others threw down their loads and ran on.
On May ID the excursion arrived at
Mrugoro and encamped in good place.
Emin's tent was pitched with the flag and
the gun in front. The arms were arranged
in readiness, and the ammunition. provis-
ions and the goods for barter placed In
three heaps, each protected by tarpaulins.
Every morning Lieutenant Lang
held drills the people and Or:
Stuhlmann inspect the bearers and
the loads. The non-commissioned Oh
ficers share the work between them, one
takes the loads and bearers. another looks
after the soldiers and the three horses and
several good donkeys, which form part OF
the expedition. a third supervises
the conimissariat. Every morning
and evening the officers make
their reports and orders are given.
The officers and non-commissioned officers
