BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
Cattlemen Cheerful Over the Outlook
For the Season.

Fort Worth, Jan. 4. -(Special.)-Th
has been quite gathering of prominent
cattlemen during the past two days.
among have been Messrs. H. II. Halsell
and b. Wagner of Decatur. A. p:
Busch of Colorado City, Sam Sherwood
If Ryanit, Count Babb of Decatur, E.
Felon of Midland, W. q. Cobb of Wichita
Falls and John Nesbitt, general livestock
agent of the Chicago and Alton railway.
They are all cheerful over the prospects
of the season. Range is reported fine in
every direction and the opinion prevails
that this year will be much better year
for stock business than the year which
has just passed. Much good gass has
gone to waste this year for want of cattle
to. feed upon it on account of the deple-
lion of the herds last year by selling off
the stock cattle,

of as many devils as there were tiles on the houses of the city where it was thought dangerous for him to go. Tn view of the precarlousness of the times we expressly disclaim any idea of likening the honorable senators of the State of Connecticut to devils or the proud city of Hartford to worms. But Brother Mason's attitude is impressive. Does he know more than he has said, and wasn't he really talking through his hat? If he cannot prove that members of the Connecticut legisla- ture are bought like cattle in the shambles" can he prove that even one member of the Connecticut legislature has been bought like one COW or one steer in a shambles? If he can he will be more of surprise than he has been.
 There will be great interest felt in Brother Mason's appearance before the Senate. "The urging element" and the element that has succumbed to the urging will be especially interested in

 would be very acceptable, We do not expect any gifts from any one. You see, each member pays $1 month

We expect to have these unions started in all the towns in the State before a great while. We propose to get things in running order here and then hold Oakland as an example to the State, showing what can be done by cooperation without colonization. We want to establish manufactures, ranches, laundries, and the like. We want the money to remain among the wealth producers. The preamble to our constitution gives a few points on that idea. It says: Corporate greed and vicious legislation have built up colos- sal fortunes for the few and a pluto cratic power which practically disfran- chises the wealth-producer and threat ents the very life of the Nation. The time has come for the wealth-produc- CTS to unite in one solid compact for their own protection and the salvation of the Republic. The subscribers unite and organize into an economic phalanx, to be known as the Altruria Co-opera- tive Union, based upon justice, equity and fraternity" The preamble, it strikes me, is right to the point.

TRAMPS.

Tramps are unusually audacious ir
 many parts of the country this summer If they don't see what they want they ask for it, and if they do see what they want they are apt to take it. It is es- timated that sixty thousand of them are roaming about and that they cost the country about $SO,OOO a day Prob ably this estimate is smaller than the facts, but 1t serves to indicate what is going on.
 It is not to be wondered at that the tramp problem is growing in size and l difficulty. Industrial conditions have been and are rapidly changing, and many who have discovered that they can live without work have made up their minds that they will Moreover, the attitude and the enforcement of the law toward tramps is not calculated to lessen the nuisance and the danger. Something sensible and effective will have to be done by and by, and any ex- pertinent that looks promising is inter- esting and important. The people of Massachusetts have suffered so from tramps that they have come to the conclusion to make a real trial for change. A new law has been passed. The State has purchased 2.0O0 acres of h,,k s,,,,, I,I uVL. at is both marshy and rocky, but it can be ditched and cleaned and made profit able for agriculture. To this farm every tramp legally convicted of vagrancy will be sent for two years. He will be employed in building roads and houses on the farm, in digging drains, in clear ing, ploughing, sowing, reaping, and in all the labor of farm that has to be created from wilderness. The work will be healthful, and not more severe than that which is undertaken volun- tarily by the thousands of brave men who yearly take up homesteads on the frontier. The tramps will be converted into laborers. and will be well fed and comfortably clothed.
 This scheme looks reasonable. It will probably improve both the land and the tramps, and will not harm Labor If it works well perhaps Connecticut will initiate it. Tramps are now so numer- ous and so bold in several places in this State that the people and the authori- ties are in peck of trouble. Wouldn't a big tramp farm be better and safer than continuance of the daring and persistent preying of tramps on hun dreds of farms?

The junkman's sense of humor was so gratified by the looks of his purchase that he put the rags on exhibition as the work of a woman who was "short of time" Prob ably she will now lay claim to the title of champion neat woman of Amer ica. Is there anyone who will dispute her right to it?

neck is the lovelier for such an unstud- | fed bit of half covering, while the girl with neck not quite perfect enough | to stand the glare of entire exposure Is made all the prettier by such relief which softens little the lines of the throat on one side. There are women wise enough to understand that when the head is turned to one side and back, the neck being bare, the stretched side of the throat should always be masked a little by an uplifted fan, a bit of a scarf or the ruff. Women with repu- tation for beauty often owe it to care fulness in little matters of this kind.
 Of course, every one knows that fan ismeant for more than flaming, but some some of the fans coquettish tricks are replaced by like ones effected with the tops of long gloves. What is prettier than the round elbow, just little pink at the dimple, slipping from the droop- ing glove Whenever does the soft hol- low of the inside of the arm look so beautiful as when 1t curves above the rim of the glove. With what an air miladi filings out her pretty hand to arms length and lets 1t boise on the wrist like a wind tipped flower, while with the other hand she smoothes up those wrinkles that will come and are so ugly. An, there are more reasons than one for having those sleeves cut to the elbow!
 Capable of calling into play both the tricks of ruff and gloves is the gown worn by the model who posed for to- days sketch. Of nile green silk, 1t is draped with lace-striped green chiffon for the skirt, and with plain chiffon on the blouse, and the latter having fitted lining and square yoke bordered with draped folds of dark green velours in addition to a lace bertha. The sleeves are made of the lace striped chiffon and terminate at the elbow.

BRorHER MAsON,S A ArrrrnDr.

Brother Mason mas been accused of biting off more than he can chew, of talking too much with his mouth, of
 talking through his hat, etc., etc. And
 that remarkable and accurate judge of human nature, Representative Cowell
 of Waterbury, has cheaply and vulgarly
 intimated that he might, if so dis
 posed, say that Brother Mason had
 been drinking something stronger than root beer Representative Cowell plain ly said that he didn't say it, but he might. So he might, and after the ex- hibition he has made of himself in this matter there would be no occasion for surprise if he should say it.
 After the senate and the house had talked too much Thursday with their mouths and had also talked through their hats the general impression was that they hadn't really bitten off more than they could chew, and that the call for Brother Mason wouldn't be responded to with very cheerful aIac- rity. Indeed, some of the friends of Brother Mason began to fix up apolo- gies for him. But it now appears that Brother Mason is not only willing but anxious to go before the State senate. Yesterday he spoke these winged words: "Yes, I will go there. I am only too anxious to go. am afraid if I say even this much, they won't summon me. That is all I have to say at pres ent." What does this mean? It isn't sneaky or even apologetic. It breathes the spirit of Luther, who was willing to follow his convictions into the company
