The Office Of Enemies.

We often get discouraged over the
criticisms and opposition Of our enemies
and fight back or run away. Nine times
out Of ten we ought to do neither. There
is usally some ground, apparent or real,
FOR criticism and our first concern should
be 10 discover it and set about at once
to remove it. II everybody had only
words Of approval, as our friends usually
have, we should soon grow lax and care
less, than which nothing is more
destructive. We need to have some one
net in our way occasionally to wake US
UP and to stimulate to renewed exertion.
Skill never comes to one who never
meets resistance. / often think that /
have been more benefited by the
criticisms OF my enemies than by the
advice Of my friends. My enemies have
had at least the virtue Of frankness, while
my friends have been slow to speak. It
too often happens, however, that when
our friends try to do us service we at
once interpret the criticism as prompted
by unfriendliness and we lose both a
friend and an opportunity also. So do
not worry IL you find an enemy on your
school board or among your patrons.
He may serve you better than your
friends, il you but use him properly.
Take every criticism in a kindly spirit
and you will grow in efficiency and in
the number Of your friends. You will
soon see great reason for blessing them
that despiteiully use you.

Andrews, who are at rooms 81 and 60,
new building. He will be glad to meet
his old customers and will attend per-
sonally to all shipments of hogs, as he
has charge Of that department.
The new firm Of Worden & Blair starts
out with excellent prospects. James
Worden was formerly a member Of the
firm Of Worden, johnson & Co. j. A.
Blair was with Emert, Eherke & Co.,
successors to ]. P. Emert & Co, for eight
years as hog salesman. Considering
their experience the firm will doubtless
be given liberal patronage.
Robert White & Co.. zone of the most
active firms on the market, have refltted
their rooms and are ready to see their
old and welcome their new customers.
They received hogs from the following
shippers last week: Donahue Bros,
Mulhall, o. T.; Robt. Irons, Nevada,
Mo-; and Constant & CollingwoOd, Pretty
Prairie, Kas, and also bunch Of cattle
from H. ]. Whitsell, Liberal, Mo.
Hale & Mcintosh received forty-one
loads Of stock January % and twenty
three loads the next day. The following
named were among the shippers who
consigned their stock to this firm: A.

Eskridge; j. M. Reed, Reno, Nevada;
G. ]. Nelson and F. A. Ramsey, Susan

On the I'D OF January the Chas.
Dixon Commission Company according
to instructions from their customers, but
contrary to their own judgment, fors
wardsd five cars 1450-pound steers to
Chicago. They were bid 1886 for them
here, and they sold up above at 1915.
Kansas City cattle forwarded to Chicago
frequently lose money, but it is rather
unusual to have them sell in Chicago
under Kansas City offer.
The Larimer- Bridgeford Live Stock
Commission Company has issued q cir
cular in which, among other things, they
say: "All kinds Of cattle from
ysarlings to 1000 pound feeders are sell

ponds entirely on the quality and not

seconds and never crack an egg. The
moisture pans are so arranged that the
heat passes to every egg the same.

Deep subsoiling.

Snbsoiling makes all rains available
by letting them down deep In the soil
and holds them there for use when
needed. In this way they make all
rains to be sessonable rains, more sea-
scnsbIe than they ever are in what we
term the most favorable year for crops,
Cor they are always on hand at the
right time. Not q day or two behind
time, but are there beforehand In the
right plaCe for all plants to help them
selves TO when they need 1t. How
could It be betterP II we have to wait
for rains to come at the right time we
are often disappointed and suffer loss.
How often we have heard farmers say:
''Lf that rain had only come q few
Days earlier 1t would have put hun
dreds Of dollars in my pocket" And
surely It would, for q few days delay
Of the hoped.fOr shower often cuts the
profits In two nesr the middle. But
deep subsOlling provides the moisture
first which insurss success. 1t causes
q feeling Of great satisfaction to the
farmer to see his crops thrive and grow
vigorously all through q long time Of
absence Of rain, when usually they
shrivel, dry up and look sick enough
to die. Deep subsOiling will accom-.
plish all this. Circumstances may de.
lay it for while, but only for a while.
The outcome is sure to be grand, he

Birds of Prey.

The manner in which vultures and
other birds of prey gather whenever
n carcass is left exposed is explained
by Sir Samuel Baker, as follows. He
writes: "When an animal is killed
and skinned, before the operation is
completed the first bird to appear is
the willy and omnipresent crow; the
next is the ordinary buzzard. Both
these birds are near the surface of the
earth, seeking their food with untir-
ing energy. But although they may
have great powers of scent, even they,
in my opinion, are mainly guided by
their acuteness of vision, as they are
always on the alert, hunting in every
direction, and in fact keeping sharp
lookout. The third arrival is the
small, rednecked vulture. The bird
descends from great height. 1t is
now most interesting to watch the
concentration from all quarters of
the compass. This is easily arranged
by lying beneath bush aud shading
the eyes while you gaze into the deep
blue sky.
1T will appear to be all alive with
the smallest flies, all moving, all
hurrying and descending. These
become rapidly larger and you are
aware that they are vultures, collect
ing from such enormous attitudes that
were a mountain top exposed it would
be capped with everlasting snow.
"While you are straining your eyes
to peer into these blue vaults you are
startled by a tremendous rush, like
the roar of rocket. This is the de-
scent, with closed wings, of some of
the large bare-necked vultures, who
have plunged like n plummet for some
thousand feet, to share i'll the feast
below. All these birds flying at
high attitudes have been soaring upon
tireless wings, never fatigued by
motion, rs they seldom flap, but only
adjust themselves to the currents of
air upon which they float; and hav-
ing, with their extraordinary powers
of sight, observed the hurry of smaller
birds to some attractive point, they
have at once directed their course to
fulfill the biblical expression: Where
the carcass is, there shall the eagle
(vultures), be gathered together. "

on all the preparations without
word or look for Bessie, pale and silent
in her seat.
Worn out as he was, Alfred Gaines
was quite able to talk, and during
their solitary ride to the Widow
Wells cottage he manifested his graf
itude toward his preserver as best he
might by certain statements to the
effect that he was engaged to cousin
of Bessie; that he had known the
latter from her childhood, aud that,
on his establishment in the house.
hold, he had entered into n playful
compact to shield her, by an apparent
devotion, from the unwelcome ntten-
tions of others, adding his own private
conviction that the girl was fonder of
Will than she would like to admit, and,
girl-like, sought to freeze him into an
unconsciousness of a feeling that fright
ened herself. To all of which the young
man listened rather silently, promis-
ing compliance, however, when his
companion entreated ns personal
favor, that he would come to the cot
tage that evening, when he himself
should be more fully recovered. The
result of which strategy was that Will
did come to find on the porch, not
Alfred Gaines, but Bessie Wells, who,
greeting him shyly, but sweetly, MUIR
INJURED:
"How kind it was, Will! How
noble to risk your life for him--when
you we're"
She stopped, blushingly. The young
man filed up the pause:
"When 1 was jealous of him? Yes,
that was, wickedly lealous-but,
Bessie, must be so, after this, Of him
or anybody? Tell me, Bessie dar-
ling" And he took her hand.
ooh, Will you are a great deal too
good for me- she said. The tears
we're in her eyes, but she did not take
away her hand, although feeling her
self drawn closer and closer. / do
not think that Will Farnsworth has
ever regretted his revenge.

Strength of Wire Rope.

Given an equal number OF strands
to make up the rope, and each Of the
same in circumfere nee, it may be
readily shown, says the Chicago
Chronicle, that wire, e,twisted into rope
form, will make rope SO strong as to
admit of no comparison even with the
best hemp rope. Twisted hempen
cords will sustain 8, 74O pounds, if the
rope be one inch thick. but one-eighth
of an inch in diameter of iron will
sustain more than one inch in circnm-
ence of hemp rope. No rope, what
ever its material. could bear COMPARE
son with an inch rope made OF piano
steel wire, such rope being able to
bear not less than 26s, 900 pounds, or
nearly 100 tons, before it could be
torn by a dead yeight.

THE bike BOUQUET. "

Two pretty new fashions have ap-
peared recently, adding much to the
brightness of our public gatherings.
One is the adoption of white cycling
habits by lady riders. They are beau
tifully cut, having the skirt a trihe
fuller than the old riding habit, and
the natty little coat finished by pale
colored tie, which matches the ribbon
on the white sailor hat. Thus attired,
pretty girl looks her very best. 1t
is now the correct thing to carry big
posy of flowers fastened to the front
of the bicycle, near the handle-bar.
One damsel will have roses, white, red, +,
pink or yellow; another cornhowers,
another pinks, aud SO on. What a

MURDER II ATS.

A correspondent of the London
Chronicle thus relieves her mind, that
paper printing the letter with the
above heading:
Sir: Mr.. Ruskin tells us that the
real meaning OF the term vulgar is
callousness, Indifference to the feel
ings of others; and Cardinal New
mans famous description of gentle
man is summed up in the sentence,
zone who never unnecessarily intlicts
pain" According to these authori-
ties, then, think the wearing of the
poor heron's plumes may justly be
described as vulgar fashion, and one
unsuited to lady. Yours faithfully,
