VIM. Mueller purchased on Wednes-
day the entire stock of general merchan-
disc belonging to d. l.. 5. Barker. We
announced last week that j. r. Fitzsim-
mons had purchased this stock and later
we found the announcement was prcma-
ture. This purchase on the part of Mr..
Mueller shows the enterprise of the man,
he never does anything by halves and it
is no surprise to the people of Neihart,
the step he has taken. In times like the
present when a man can find the withal
to purchase such a mammoth stock,
stamps him as one of the substantial
men of the state. Mr.. Mueller has a
record for business ability second to
none and we wish him success in his
new venture.

Without a minutes warning
And cut our GO. 'ssary 50 7

We'd dug -four Ions of gold "a week
And piled il all around us
Into a glittering yellow peak
just a. the winter downed us.
And when the summer came once more,
Although it seemed it never
Would come again, we were dead sore
Upon the Klondike river.
For not a spcck of dust had we

Because, by gravy! don't you see,

For grub was needed right along,
And stuff 10 stop a shiver,
And pound for pound" the sutlers'

Upon the Klondike river.
So when the warm had killed the cold
And winter time was over,
We'd eaten all our pile of gold
And still were not in clover,
Because we owed a board bill yet,
Which with our best endeavor
will wipe the wad this year we'll get

The Oysters Beard.

Old fashioned c%ookbooks invariably
order us to "beard the oyster" II
was quite an experienced housekeeper,"
said a we'll known cooking authority,
"beforG | knew what the beard Of an
oyster was. 1t is, | believe, the little
frill.
THE question then occurred, Why
should this portion he removed? With
our American oyster there is no occa-
sion to remove it, and we never do it.. !"
No doubt many a new housekeeper
has felt guilty of emitting to do some
thing that should be done when she
served her husband oysters with their
"beards" III. She felt doubly guilty
when he praised them and declared they
were the best oysters he had ever eaten.
Probably she kept the secret until she
consulted some old housekeeper, who
promptly told her she didn't know what
the beard of an oyster was, and that GER
tainly no one nowadays ever removes it.
This expression is generally found in
old English works of the order Of the
Complete British Housewife. II is prob
able that this portion of the oysters of
Great Britain is especially tinctured
with their coppery flavor and was for
merly removed. Certainly no n today
who eats his oysters at D%elmonico's or
at any famous restaurant finds the frill
or any portion of the mollusk, except
the shell, missing.

Adam Knew the Flood Wa Coming,

~"
An a%pocryphal book called the LESS.
er Genesis" and well known TO the
early Christian fathers tells a wonder
full incident in the life of Seth, the third
son of Adam and Eve. When the goodly
Seth was about 40 years of age, he was
"rapt" up into heaven by a trio Of an
gels and there told and shown what was
in store for mankind. Among other
things, the coming of the great deluge
vas made known to him, as was also
the coming of the Saviour. When he re-
turned to earth, Seth told his parents
what had happened and of what he had
seen and heard concerning the future
of the human race. "And Adam was
much grieved when it was made known
to him that the world would be de-
stroyed by water on account of the
wickedness of his own children, but a
great peace and calmness came over him
when Seth told how the face of the
earth would again be repeopled. **#
His joy was exceedingly great when
Seth related what was in store in the
coming ages, and he was particularly
glad to know that redemption should
finally come through Jesus, the Christ. "

Advice to Feeders.

Denver Field and Farm says: Anent
the high prices now being paid for
stockers and feeders, there is danger
ahead in the steer business. Too many
fellows are putting money in feeders.
Feeders are too high-little old runt
Texas long horns sell for three, four.
and five and sometimes as high as six
cents. They will not fill out. The
men who have theirs on their hands
are going to try to dump them on the
market next fall, and there is going
to be tumble. Do not get too many
feeders on hand. Stock UP your cow
herds; they will keep year after year,
and you can get something out of
them. 1t will pay better at the pres
ent prices to raise calves to sell rather
than to buy them to feed. Cattle are
going to slump. Too many men have
paid too much for their feeders and
they are going to dump them at any
price next fall. The market will be
overlooking. The buyers will have
their own way. Mr.. Cattleman will
get his fingers burned. There will be
an auction sale, and the devil to pay
at ten per cent, with big cattle mort
gage. You fellows think you are
mighty wise. Take fools advice and
go slow. Now Is the time to buy cows
and get three-legged stool and a,
