"SLEEPY GRASS"

A curious variety of grass known
as "sIeepy grass" has been found in
New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, and
some parts of South Dakota. Its
peculiarly consists in its power to
induce sleep in horses end cattle. 1t
begins to take effect very soon after
it is eaten. and the condition of sleep
continues from twenty four hours to
seven days, according to the
quantity eaten. No evil effects follow
the sleep, but cowboys and ranch
men very much dread its appearance
among the herds, as it is almost i'm
possible to keep the animals moving
while in this condition, and the en-.
tire herd is often delayed until the
sleep is over A horse or COW never
touches the grass the second time.
The narcotic juice is found only in
the fresh blades OF the grass. The
botanical name ofthiS curious growth
is Stipa Nividula, variety robusta,
and no other variety Of this species
is known to possess the same
properties.

THE HOUSE OF VANDERBILT.

Seventy-fIve years ago the earthly
property of the house Of Vanderbilt
consisted of sandy farm on Staten
Island and sailboat that piled up and
down New York harbor. These
modest possessions, says Munsep'S
M0nthLy, have since grown until they
now form the immense estate which,
held together as a sort of family trust
by the sons of the late William H.
Vanderbilt, runs far into the hundreds
Of millions of dollars. The entire pre-
vious history of the world cannot show
parallel to this financial romance of
10Th century America.
The gathered treasures otthe Lydian
Cre5us and the Roman CrassuS would
sink into insignificance beside the
bond laden safes of the Vanderbilts,
and Midas, whose magic touch turned
stones into gold, was, in comparison
with these latter-day rivals, a mere
ploddlng novice in the art of multiply
ing riches.
And SO vast have been the additions
to the estate left by the first millionaire
Vanderbilt that his bequests, great as
they were, have become overshadowed
by the acquisitions of his son and
grandsons.
The late William H. Vanderbilt made
twice as many millions in seven years
as did the commodore in the whole
course of his lorg career of business
and speculation. The formers sons
are adding to the family pile" at a
rate which, though less sensational, is
still rapid.
There is but one parallel to the
marvellous inheritance OF financial
ability that has distinguished the Van
derbiIt family. That one is to be
found in the house of Rothschild,
whose colossal fortune has had much
longer to grow, and has been fostered

Papa, asked the boy, looking up
from his book, "can a man grow a
real beard in one day7"

cautiously, being mindful of the fact
that within week the boy had put
to him this questioon-Why does a
woman walk OH her heels IN crossing a
muddy street, and when he answered
that he did not know, the boy had
said. To get across. But there was
no sell about the question the boy
asked, nor about the next one, which
was this:
Can man get bald in one night2
He might in an Indian country, an

silence for little time. Then the boy
impatiently SAID:

II come to me often in silence,
When the freight sputters low
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago.
Always with throb of heartache
That thrills each pulsiye vein,
Comes the old, unquiet longing,
For the peace OF home again.
I'm sick OF the roar of cities,
And of faces cold and strange;

And my yearLing iancies range
Back to the dear old homestead,
With an aching sense OF pain,
But there'lI be Joy in the coming,

When go home again There's music
That never may die away,
And it seems the hands of angels
On mystic harp at play
Have touched with Il yearning sadness
On a beautiful broken strain,
To which is my fond heart wording
When 20 home again.
Outside Of my daTkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, drifting in,
SCbbing the night wind murmurs
To the splash OF the autumn rain
But dream OF the glorious greeting

We would remind our Alliance
friends that they should never resort
to anything which smacks of abuse
when meeting the objections of those
who attempt to argue against the
measures put forward by the Alli-
ance. Appeal to their sense of jus
tice and challenge them to try our
measures by common sense, and
unlearn what they have learned
amiss. We have plenty of facts and
strong arguments 10 sustain our side.
Ask them to meet these facts and
reasoning. When ::they attempt this
they will always fail. The strongest
argument that can be made in favor
of Alliance measures is the hopeless
task to oppose them by reason.
When q disputant can give no reason
for opposing measure he is ire
trievably beaten.
