The Herd Law.

There has been considerable discussion
recently upon the subject of free range
At least there have been statements in its
favor, but no argument. Who is it that
wants free range? 1t is such men as
have gathered together few head of
cattle, and who expect by their natural
increase to let the cattle make living
for the owner; men who have not the
energy to look after their own property;
men who are farmers(g pillow and plant
their crops and then expect the crop to
grow and mature while they fib and
smoke in the shade of their sod shanties.
Are such the proper men to develop the
resources of this beautiful country? Are
such men to dictate as to what is the
best for us? They take advantage of
circumstances and 60 to their friends
with petition to have the herd-law re-
pealed. People do not stop to consider
what the consequences would be. One
does not stop to weigh the result. but
sign the petition for friendships sake.
If We again have free range it will drive
away four-fifths of the people living in
the country-God knows they are few
enough now-and in consequence the
stores aud other business of the towns
must be diminished in like proportion.
We have no timber here with which we
can fence our farms with nine rail fence
and but few are able to fence with a two
or three wire fence. And what If we
were: Hungry cattle running at large
would not stop for wire fence if they
saw green and succulent feed on the
other side. No one could blame the cat
tie for leaving the dry buffalo grass for
something better.
The only true solution of the problem
is mixed farming. And let us help each
other and not try to live by taking what
rightfully belongs to another. This can
be done by letting the herd-law stand.
make it more stringent II need be.
Make the owner strictly responsible for
the depredations of his stock whenever
and wherever they do any damage to
the premises of another. This would
cause no hardship to anyone, but would

The Rock Island Railroad company
built railroad bridge 742 feet at Dodge
City in sixty hours. This is build
ing bridges by steam. The con-
tractor says he brought a large force of
men who never saw Dodge City; the
bridge force arrived on the Rock Island
railroad and it was agreed between the
manager and his men that they should
not get to see the city until the bridge
was completed; to this they all agreed
and in less than sixty hours train loads
of passengers were landed in that noted
city, that is now commanding the atten-

do not believe that Cleveland ever was
elected to the presidency. The people

other dependents upon laborers in free
trade countries; and who have seen our
own working men well-clOthed, we'll

aOthing better than to again defeat

ocratic party might learn forever that it

If fried cakes are made of brown sugar
they will keep moist longer than with any
other kind.
If the cover of a fruit jar cannot be
easily removed, insert it for a minute or
two in hot water.
Keep a small, open box of unslacked
lime standing in the pantry, and it will
keep the air pure.
Scalding water should never be poured
into dishes which have held milk. until
it has been removed by cool water.
The light in sleeping rooms should
never fall directly on the eyes, nor should
the rooms be either too dark or too light.
Buckets and all wooden pals not il
use, as well as washtubs, should be turned
bottom side up, TO prevent leaking.
4 case of ommon muslin sheeting that
can be removed and washed occasionally,
will keep a mattress clean a long time.
The toughest fowl can be made eatable

ELI PERKINS TALKS About
REECHER.

'Did you know Henry Ward Beecher
personality" asked a reporter of Eli Per-
kins.
Quite well. Eve talked with him by
the hour at his home, on the railroads, and
at my own house in New York. He was
always ready to talk with every man who
had an idea or a good story. He hated
eranks, and they were always calling on
him."
What did he do with them ."
HE always turned them over to Mrs.
Beenher with the remark, Mother, you
take care of this interesting man."
"Beecher,' continued Mr.. Perkins, elk
ed to talk Of his early poverty. He al
ways treated poverty in a humorous vein.
Once, he said, I was the poorest man in
Lawrenceburg, Ind, where | supplied my
first church, away back in 1886. l was SO
poor that l couldn't buy fre-wood to keep
US warm, without going without books.
l remember one Sunday morning there
came a big flood in the Ohio. 1 was
preaching at the time, and I looked out Of
the window and saw the hood-wood 90
sailing by my house. 1t seemed wrong for
me SO see SO much good wood going by and
l not able to catch it.''
why did you do?' | asked.
why, rushed that sermon through,
hurried home, and that afternoon, with the
aid of Deacon Anderson, l got out enough
drift wood to keep Mrs. Beecher in fire
wood for three months, and all the while, y
be said. looking up and smiling OF his
wife, mother stood in the doorway and
eheered US on"
in 1888" said Mr.. Beecher, Il was so
poor that rode clear to Fort Wayne from
indianapolis on horseback and delivered a
lecture for s25. Then I vent to New York
to attend the Congregational Convention.
While in New York l went to DIR. Prime,
of the Observer, and offered to write weekly
letters from the West at a dollar apiece. .
did Prime take you up?p
"Yes-and paid me So in advance"
"And you actually wrote for a dollar a
column
No" said Mr.. Beecher, laughing, "the
next day Prime thought it over. repented
of his haste and profigacy, and wrote me
that he did not think my letters would be
worth it."
But. oh" he groaned. turning to Mrs.
Beecher. sit was a bitter disappointment
TO us-wasn't it Mothel9"
One day, speaking of puns, Mr.. Beeeher
said Mrs. Beecher received one ON ais name
that was very complete. Then Mrs.
Beecher went and got an old scrap book
and read:

To a hen, you're a beautiful creature;'

ACUKE FOR -DIPHrHERIA.

The following remedy is said to be the
best known, at least it is worta trying, for
physicians seem powerless to cope with
the disease successfully. At the first in
dication of ~diphtheria in the throat of a
child make the room close; then take a tin
cup and pour into it a quantity of tar Inc
turpentine, equal parts. Then hold the
cup over a fire SO as to fill the room with
fumes. The little patient, on inhaling the
fumes, will cough up aud spit out all the
membranons matter, aud the diphtheria
will pass off. The fumes OF tar and tur-
pentine loosen the matter in the throat.
| and thus afford the relief that has baf1ed
| the skill of physicians. -Scssnt!sc Anasrftdn

TEE Sun AND FEE VIVID.

The sun and the Wind made a bet one day
Which would take from a man his ~cl0akaway
ave only to blow right strong said the
Wind,
"And his cloak will go flying far behind"
That trick will not work at ALL" said The
sun;
II know That the bet by me Will be Won,
But do your way, you blust'ring fellow,
Then 1 will shine out so warm and yellow
I'm sure Will have the best Of the joke,
For quickly the man will drop his old cloak. :"
The mar logged along, just humming a song,
His cloak fast Duttoned to keep him warm,
When, sudden, the W ind blewloud and strong
"Whe-ugh! Hello! why, here is a Storm
Then closer around him his cloak was drawn
Still closer and closer, With head bent down
He galioped off fast for the nearest town.
Then the sun shone cut with its golden smiles
And though it's away up millions of miles
let it heard the traveller laugh and say:
GOOD horse, dom hurry the rest of the way:
Gwen take it more easy this lovely day;
But first let me put this hot cloak away
And the cloak came off! and the rest OF tbs
ride
Ithung and swung at the horses side.
And the Wind hushed down, ashamed to blow
But the sun shone on in a happy glow;
While gaily The man went on his way,
A-singing a song that seemed to say;
Gina game where it takes the two to play,
Sunshine gets the better of Wind any day.
MORAL.
SO, boys, and girls, too, when you find your
self rusty,
And fretty and fussy. and cross-grained and
gusty,
just remember the tale Of the Wind and the

The man and fhe cloak and the way it was
done Little Mea and Women.
