for Nothing
MODESTO. Feb. 2S.-At the Canty ranch,
near Grayson, Dan McCarty, the San Fran
cisco horseman, commonly known as
"White Hat" McCarty, has about 500
head of horses in pasturage. Some of the
stock is of fine breed. The stock was put
in pasture three months and half ago,
and with the understanding between Canty
and McCarty that the pasturage bill should
be paid monthly in advance. Since the
first payment no money has been paid by
McCarty for their feed and they are kept
in a field in which they have eaten Off all
the feed.
As Canty cannot legally levy on the
stock for the pasture bill nor turn the
stock loose without incurring liability of
damage suit. the stock remains corralled
without food. Between forty and fifty
head of stock have already died of starva-
ton, and many more are SO weak and
famished that they cannot live much
longer unless they are given food. Canty
has lot of fine pasture land, but he OBJ
jects to furnishing it free to McCarty's
horses.

Lack of Education Ruined Him

the convicts was man whose face
betokened intelligence. She called
the attention Of her friends to him,
saying: "There is man whose coun-
tensnce shows natural intelligence,
and yes am satisfied that he was
deprived of education"
"I'll wager that he is welI-edu-
Gated" said one of her friends, and
turning to the warden asked:
"What was that man convicted
OFF,"
forgery" was the response.
"See?" said the friends, turning to
the lady.
"Well, 1 don't care. do not be.
lieve he ia an educated man. want
to talk to him."
Permission was obtained, and the
following colloquy ensued:
Odd you have the advantage of
an education?"
81 did not, ma am"
81 told you So" turning to her
friend, and then speaking to the con-
vict again, she said:
"You feel within yourself, do you
not, that knowledge would have
directed you into paths OF reotltude?"

do know that if had been properly

Even people of mature years whose

girl, Sarah, and it was upon this oo-
casion that the most exciting scenes
ever Witnessed in Plymouth Church,
or in any other American church for
that matter, occurred. Mr.. Beecher
was unusually dramatic; he put fire
iato his words, SO he stood the sl.ve
girl on the platform besids him,
which fairly burned into the hearts
of his auditors. It was not long be-
fore the people became almost hys-
terieal with excitement. But Beecher
kept on until he was ready to pass
the collection baskets. Then the au-
ditors gave vent to their feelings, and
not only heaps of money was put into
baskets but men and women took off
their rings, unfaStened their watches
and threw them into the baskets and
on the platform. It was a remark.

ably will never be equalled in this
