The Reno Gazette looks for a material advance in the cattle of all grades all over the country the coming year. As the country becomes settled up the ranges are necessarily curtailed and there will not be range for such herds to be successfully handled by one man. The large abattoir now be- ing constructed near Port Costa, Cal, will take 800 beef of all grades daily, San Francisco and Oakland now take about 400 daily. This enterprise will make market for all the range cattle the country now produces, 80 that stockmen can keep their herds clean ed up. Every animal that could possibly be beefed has been taken to the shambles in the past five years, and is it wonder that article of food has been so low?

Trusting in the prophecy Of the
three witches, that he should not fall
by mortal hands, Macbeth went forth
to meet his foes. Desperation lent
him bravey and strength, aud he
fought with the fury of a furnishing
lion. One after another went down
before his broad claymore, anu, like
Spartacus, he raised walls of dead
around him. MacDuff, whose wife
and children he had cruelty pet TO
death, SAW him. and thirsting for re-
vense, speedily assailed him. 1t
was a meeting OF giants, and long
the result seemed doubtful. Tuick
and fast fell the fearful blows of their
pnnderous swords, and all eyes CEN
tered on the contest. Macbeth wen.
down. The steel had found vital
spot. At the hand OF Macdufr, this
| cruel murderer and base usurper
yielded up his charmed life, like
great Achilles at the In id of Paris.
There arose Il shout OF triumph that
swept like Il food Of joy over all
Scotland, rushing over the lowlands
of the South, echoing and reechoing
among the misty peaks of the nusth-

heaven. 1t ~as music TO the ears Of
men and angels. Wicked Macbeth
was no more. He had tallen-a
victim of his own selflshness and
ambition. His head was severed
from his body and borne as a trophy
OF victory to the capital of the ma
ton. The measure he had meted to
others was neted to himself.
Some writers would lay Macbeth's
sins at the door of his wife. This is
hardly fair. In him burned the fire
of inordinate ambition, and she but
famed the flame. His life teaches
u valuable political moral-that
position which can not be attain
ed by fair and honorable means
should be left alone. 1t further
shows the depths of crime and folly
into which unchecked ambition leads
its victims, to be overwhelmed and
ruined. AS T!ane of Glamis, Mac.
beth WAS an honOred man, and es.

crown he became u murderer, a de-
ceiver and traitor; wearing it he
became tyrant and tiend. He

whirlWind. That fearful harvest
