followed her daughter because, as she ad-
mitted, Annette and her sister had quar-

guilty and condemned to Imprisonment

SCRUB BEEF CATTLE,

A Day of Reckoning for Breeders of De-
Perforated Stock.
There is surely a day of reckoning at
hand in this matter of beef cattle sup
plies. From all over the great breeding
grounds comes the same testimony as to
the deterioration of the ordinary farm
and ranch cattle following the general
neglect in the matter of maintaining a
sufficient number of well bred bulls in
service. The gathering of a band Of fine
stockers or feeders in all the leading
feeding states is attended with so much
difficulty as to demonstrate thoroughly
the extent of the ground lost during the
past five years in the matter of good
breeding.
The appearance of the cattle in the
pens at all leading yards supplies a sad
commentary upon the results of the long
continued depression in beef cattle val
ues from which we at last seem fairly
emerging. We had hoped to be able to
record a substantial hardening in prices
commanded by pedigreed animals of the
various beef breeds at the spring sales,
but either n of two things is evident,
the breeders of pure bred cattle who
have put their stock upon the market
have, as a rule, either offered d class of
cattle not possessing sufficient merit to
warrant the payment of good prices, or
there is to be a tagging demand for pedi-
greed cattle until the beef market is
known to have registered permanent i'm
provement.
Probably the truth of the matter will
be found to rest upon both these grounds.
Sharing in the general encouragement
of the masses, the owners of many pedi-
greed herds have been remiss in their at
tention to the quality of their stock.
The herd in such case-especially in a
season where feed has been scarce and
highs certain to lose character, and
when the public is asked to set a valua-
ton upon the animals at public cry"
there have naturally been some extreme
ly low averages recorded.
In other cases, even where the quality
of the offerings has been good, distrust
as to the future has apparently stricken
those in attendance with such a panicky
feeling that really fine cattle have been
ruthlessly slaughtered, but those who re-
tain their interest in the trade and who
have held closely to the practical in their
breeding operations are not dispirited.
Bull buyers may not be as numerous as
might be desired and may in some cases
he insisting upon what seem like %ruinous
prices, but the fault in very many in
stances is quite as much with the bulls
as with the buyers. For the pedigreed
scrub there is certainly no demand. For
this let us be duly thankful.-Breeder's

That General Purpose Horse.


The arguments already brought to
bear tend ~conclusively to prove that
what can fairly be called a general pur-
pose stallion does not exist. If that is so
then breeders must try along a different
road for the materials required to fulfill
their ideal. All experience leads to the
indication that line bred sire put to a
suitable mare will do. If the mare is a
well graded Shire or Clyde it may be too
great a stretch to put her at once to a
thoroughbred English stallion, but it is
the opinion of many very capable men
that a cross of the general purpose mare
and such a sire would produce a clever,
wiry and long lived general purpose colt.
It is a fact that the average heavy draft
horse is not nearly so long lived as
n of lighter build and warmer blood.
If a heavy draught team is driven home
from the elevator at a six mile gait, it is
very liable to collie and other sudden
forms of disorder.
Others would prefer putting the gen.
eral purpose mare to a Cleveland bay or
French coach horse. AS a rule it will be
found that a moderately heavy general
purpose FLY should be started with a
warm blooded horse not too young. The
influence of first contact with such a
sire will tell IN subsequent matings with
heavier sires and put more fire into their
ofspring.-Nor' West Farmer.

Fancy Poultry.

Fancy fOuICfy.
Why bless you'll the fancy poultry
business is just the same as the fancy
cattle "a or the dog craze; 5000 for a
bird may seem a large sum, but no more
than $4,000 for a COW or Sc, 900 for a
dog. Besides, a fancier who has an ex-
ira valuable bird on exhibition may put
on a ~prohibitory price even if he doesn't
win a premium. It is worth the price
placed or its head to the breeder.
The price on a bird is no criterion Of
its value as a show bird. A prime show
bird is frequently apt to be a poor
breeder. 1t is the aim of every fancier
to produce al ideal show bird, but in all
part-colored birds the ideal birds are
not always mated together for the best
results, and a breeding yard is quite diff
ferent from an exhibition pen.
The economic qualities Of a thorough
bred fowl, while desirable, are not CON
sidered of any SURPRISING Importance by
the genuine fancier. The latter wants
the symmetry and the plumage first, last
and all the time. This is an art that no
mechanical tuition will enable q man to
acquire, but it requires the Unborn love
and peculiar knack, or call it genius If
you like, Of the. natural fancier.
Such a. the latter will seldom part
with a bird simply for the money it may
bring. A true fancier is often q most
liberal and generous man, and it is safe
to say that some men give away more

Hint for an Artist,

There was decoration on a luncheon
table one day last week that was not or.
dered from florist or caterer. An up-
town woman. entertaining half dozen
friends. had herself seen to the laying OF
the table early in the forenoon and
closed and darkened the dining room till
luncheon should be served. A few min
utes before that time she left the parlor
and ran down stairs for final inspection.
Bring the CLAIMS in, she said to the maid.
Il will open the room and luncheon can
be served at once, and she hurried into
the apartment. raising the shades and
opening the blinds.
And then she stopped and said "Oh =
for there at the daintily laid table, his little
high chair drawn up to its occasional
place by her cover. sat her 8 year old
boy sound asleep, his brown haired head
almost touching the cloth, and one moist,
pudgy hand resting fairly ON its immacu-
late whiteness, and clasping between the
limp fingers red rose which he had evi.
denfly admired and pulled from the cen.
ter piece, as its trailing way was clearly
marked across the table.
1t was critical moment for the
mother. "If take him up" she though,
quickly, "the traces of his presence will
be disfiguringly there, and it is too late
to relay the table. "I'll leave him jus,
as he is; they are all mothers upstairs.

they see the print of his fingers on my

A Question of Nerve.

Have you got any nerve;" asked my
friend Simpson, as we halted before
saloon in Toughville, Mont.
What il l haven't?" / answered eva5-
ively.
II asked for information. You're
'tranger here, you know, and you don't
tuck your pants in your boots, or talk
about your private graveyard. or any
thing like that. and as I've got to go in
here and interview the proprietor | won't
take you along unless your nerve will
stand it. +"
Go in, answered laconically.
We entered long, low ceiled room
with bar at one end. Several card ta-
bles were scattered about at which gen
tlenen Of rather unsavory appearance
and reckless manners were playing.
While my friend was transacting his
business with the proprietor drew chair
into corner and tried to appear per-
fectly at home.
Taking a cigar from my pocket l
calmly placed it between my lips and
lighted it, when-whiz! it was knocked
clear out Of my mouth by pistol ball.
Inever so much as winked an eye! I
did not even turn to see who had done
the firing, but. with the greatest coolness.
I drew another cigar from my pocket and
lighted it. / leaned back in my chair
and smoked with extreme nonchalance
Il don't think have ever, before or
since. been so utterly and so hopelessly
nonchalant as upon the occasion set forth.
As smoked, the ashes naturally accum-
ulated upon the end of my weed and
was just thinking OF knocking them of
when that unknown friend with his con-
venient pistol performed the service for
me.
Every one in the saloon was looking in
my direction, but I did not show the
barest tip Of white feather. I puffed
away, with head thrown back. and a
dreamy, contented expression on my face
that would have tried in vain to pro-
duce under ordinary circumstances.
Again the ashes accumulated, and
again that timely bullet removed them.
At this stage found myself wondering
how l was going to keep my nerve when
that cigar had burned down to a mere
stump and my friends craftsmanship
would be required to pick it out from be-
tween my teeth.
But was equal to the emergency, and
when my cheroot was two-thirds gone l
held it between my thumb and forefinger
while the unknown shot it out with a
skill that was remarkable. Then busted
my hands, brushed the ashes from my
clothes, and Joined my friend at the door
Before we could leave the room, how
ever, a man in blue shirt and buckskin
leggins, carrying six shooter in his
hand, approached and embraced me.

Come on here, !" said my friend Simp-
son, as he yanked me through the door
by the tail of my coat, without giving me
time to frame a reply.
But was glad he did it. A dime isn't
very thick, and then Vermillion Pete

"There's Many q Slip 'Twixt the Cup
and the Ltp.''

Anceus, king of the Leleges in Samos
ian island in the Grecian Archipelago,
planted vineyard; and so heavily did
he oppress his slaves, that one of them,
it is said, prophesied to him that he
would never live to taste the wine there
of. When the wine was made, he sent
for his slave and said: "What do you
think of your prophecy now?" The slave
made answer: There's many slip
'twixt the cup and the lip" The words
were scarcely uttered when Anceus was
informed that wild boar had broken
into his vineyard, and was laying it
waste. Ancaus, setting down the cup
untasted, hastenei to attack and drive
out the boar; but he was killed in the en-.

COUNT DE ARNAUD's CASE,
His Counsel Claim That No Crime Has Been

His Counsel Claim That No Crime Has Been

In the Criminal Court, Judge Hagner, yester-
day the trial of Count de Arnaud charged with
presenting fictitious claim for pension, was
continued. The government charges that he
put in q claim in the name of Alfred dc Arnaud
captain company F, fifth Missouri volunteers,
an entirely different person from the defend
ant. who is now living at Hot Springs.
The defendant, represented by ex-Gov.
Fletcher of Missouri and Col. Jas. Coleman.
claims that the count, military expert who
had served in the Russian service and the
Crimea, came to this country in 1861, was COM
missioned by Gen. Fremont, performed excel
lent service and by reason of wound in his
head was made insane.
After the offer of files in the case had been
made Mr.. Coleman objected that they were not
complete, and said that they had room to be-
lieve that they had been tempered with.
The government having closed its case the
defense submitted that no crime was charged,
for the section stated had been repealed and
moved the court to direct verdict of not
guilty.
The jury was respited to Monday and the
motion was argued.
