How He Broke the News.

You say that I'm pale and fustered,
and shivering in my shoes; I'll be
hanged if you wouldn't SILVER if you had
to "break the news" L suppose you
have heard how Quimby is stretched on
q bunk down there, with pint or more
of his own blue blood mixed up with
his auburn hair? We'll, they made me
joint committee to 60 to his house and
tell his wife all about the scrimmage
and what to her man befel. went to
the house up yonder, not mashed on the
job, you bet, and my classic and blue
veined forehead was bathed in quart
of sweat. The woman was in the
kitching, a-singing plaintive song, but
she dried up when she saw me, for she
knew there was something wrong.
Then I coughed and I hemmed and
stammered, and madam" said I, "be
brave! your husband is now a-lying-"
Oh. Lord! what shrek she gave!
And she walked up and down a-moan-
ing and wringing her furrowed hands,
and her hair fell down like sea-weed
adrift by the ocean sands. ooh Heaven"
she cried, my husband! They've taken
my love from me-" and the way that
she reeled and staggered was sight for
man to see; $50 brave, so kind and so
noble! So loving, so grand and strong,
and now must wait his coming in vain
all the dark day long? And his chill
dren will wall in sorrow, and never
again in glee troop down in the misty
twilight and cluster about his knee.
And so she went on raving; her screams
for block were heard; and like
craven image stood there, without say
ing word It seemed like my tongue
was frozen or glued to my pearly teeth,
and hardly breath came upward from
the paralyzed lungs beneath. But I
braced up all of sudden. and ''mad.
am," said I again, II am sorry-I'm
deuced sorry-to have caused you this
needless pain; let up on your frenzied
screaming; you don't need to weep and
wall; yonr old man amt dead by long
shot; he's only locked up in jail" She
glared at me for n1inute-for minute
or two, and then she said: $50 the
darned old loafer is down there in Jail
again" Then she picked up tub and
smashed it all over my princely head,
and saw she was getting ready to paint
the whole landscape red. So skipped
through the gate and moseyed so fast
that I tore my shoes; and they don't
make me committee in the future to
break the news.-Lincol71 Journal.

DIR. NEA1. MITCHELL, of jacksonville.
Fla, has recently returned from Berlin.
where he was present when Prof Koch
announced to the world his discovery of
lymph. DR.. Mitchell says that since the
subsistence of the feeling against Koch
aroused by the failure of his discovery to
prove a panacea physicians have been
treating tuberculosis with the lymph in
conservative way and have found that
it does all DR.. Koch ever claimed for it.
At least it has attained Il success in cur
ing cases of the disease that no other
medicine or method has attained.

AMONG TILE LIVE STOCK.
PRIZE SHORTHORN STEER AT THE
FAT STOCK SHOW.

Fashion in the Color of Cattle-Some-
thing in the Color, but Nothing to
Justify the Crazes About It-Red and
Roam Shorthorns Respectively.
Some time since a noted Shorthorn
rearer declared emphatically that he
would have none but roam animals to
breed from if he could get them. He did
not draw the line strictly against red
~Shorthorns, but preferred the O al
ways. A few years ago, however, there
was such IL craze for. reds that the roam
would have been nowhere in Il breeders
sale.
There is much nonsense in the fashions
Of color in dairy and beef cattle. In gen
eral, if a certain colored animal has
proved its capabilities for generations in
certain directions it is fair to reason, in
q general way, that other cattle of the
ZANE color and breed would be also we'll

adapted to the same purpose. Thus far
there is foundation in common n for
color crazes, but no further. Other
points are far more important than color.
At the Chicago fat stock show the
Shorthorn steer Nonesuch took the
sweepstakes prize for the model beef
animal. His picture shows that there
was not much waste about him. None
such was bred in Kentucky in the blue
grass and is of a bright red color all over.
Nonesuch's sire was a bull of the Wood
lawn Shorthorn herd. His"points' will
be very apparent to those who know a
beef animal when they see it.
