Happily, the story Of "Fatty's" ia
vorite may be told without fear OF
bringing a blush TO the cheek Of the
youngest or most foolish person.
Who Is he?" was the question peo-
pie asked In wonder. as they and he
went on the course probably with a
common purpose Ito "get a Bit as the
mission is called by those who fol-
low III; and the reply was invariably
the same. Fatty"
That was was ALL Fatty" pure and
simple; this seemed 10 satisfy public
curiosity. Further interrogation was
considered adventurous. In view of the
startling facts IL might reveal. To
look at him was enough. especially
when he was backing losers.
Truly, Fatty" was a remarkable
character. unconventional In his life
and customs. also In his ideas as to
the rights Of individuals, so far as per-
sonal property was concerned. What
he wished to have he thought he was
entitled to take. II the owners atten-
tion was diverted and no man was
cleyerer than he In divertIng owners
attention when there was anything to
be taken by doing so.
Not a person of high principle. he
could afford to purchase the Injuries
OF the season in sufficient abundance
to crafty his appetite. which was i'm
mense. To many persons OF the high
est principle such luxuries are UNI
known.
When in his best form Fatty" ac-
complished notable feats. His favorite
maneuvers were executed on the race
course. lie was quite at home there,
and moved about. both in the ring and
paddock. with immunity from assault.
A friend told me this story about
Fatty" In conhdence-hence | pass it |
on in the same spirit We were return
ing from Camptown steeplechases after
a bad day. and were bemoaning our
anaemic condition.
This Is no game" l remarked, "for
honest, well-meaning men," and |
vainly hunted for the remnants of a |
cheap cigaret which | hoped had not
been thrown away In better times.
Yes, It's poor game" said my |
companion, when one loses ones mon
ely in order to maintain ones rectitude
OF purpose. Now look at Fatty" he
added, after a pause rather inconse-
quentially; you never hear him com
plain of his bad luck 1t is those who
have been playing with him who lift
up their voices. He knows very well
that luck wouldn't keep him In grease
for his moustache and boots"
But some OF us are afraid of prison."
murmured regretfully.
We'll. just listen to a short account
OF what Fatty did the other day. and
then talk about prisons II you like. OF
course, you know that at one time he
kept small coffee shop In the east
end OF London, and now bets in thou
sands. That denotes the master mind.
He is called Fatty because of his
protuberance, not in refer
'nce to any other personal distention.

Bedding fol Horses.

1t is a common practice for livery
men to use sawdust as bedding for
horses where that is abundant and
straw is hard to get But if you raise
grain we should advise you to save
what is needed for bedding, no matter
though the sawdust be offered free.
Sawdust with manure makes it very
hard to rot, much more so than is
straw, though both, being carbon, have
scarcely any manurial value. Market
gardeners object to having sawdust in
manure piles, though they always COM
post their manure before using. 1t is
better to use either bedding as economi-
cally as possible, and without doubt
long straw bedding can he used with
less waste than can sawdust, partly
because it is less absorptive.i The ex-
crement, either liquid or solid, Il les
through the straw without doingAore
than discolor it. So by shaking out
and drying the straw can be used re-
peatedly until it has rotted and broken
up. The liquid manure is best saved,
not by absorbent bedding, but by a
layer of three or four inches of wood
loan underneath the horse or cow.
This also is much better for horses
feet than standing on hard floors,
either of wood or concrete. A little
chopped straw lying on this earth will
prevent the animal from being soiled
with it. The earth flooring should be
cleaned out once week and replaced
with new. With the excrement it has
absorbed it will then be quite rich, but
if the loan is scarce it may be dried
and used repeatedly until it has abb
sorbed all it is capable of holding

Canadian Cheese Exports.-Ous
cheese exports are increasing as a re-
suit of laws against filled cheese, which
have given renewed confidence to Eng
lish cheese consumers. But the kinds
of cheese which are sent abroad are
not such as English and French dairy
men send to this country, and sell at
high prices, such as Stillton and Ched-
dar cheeses, made in England. or the
Brie cheese, which is chiefly made in
France, and mainly from cream. The
Neufchatel Swiss cheese is also hade
from cream. These choice varietSas of
cheese are usually made very small
and enclosed with some kind of cover
ing. They are so tender because Of
the cream they contain that they would
fall to pieces if made large or if not

Cattle and Feed in Kansas.-What
Kansas needs is enough cattle to eat
the feed raised. Probably enough
feed will go to waste there this winter
to feed twice the number of cattle that
are there now, and the same may be
said of the grass of last summer. or
of the coming season. AS to the COM
petition in the beef market. and the
honest fear of some people engaged in
raising native beef in the corn-feeding
states, that the Mexican steer is a detri-
mental competitor, what are the facts
in the case? Considering the immens-
ity of the beef production, the Mexican
imports of cattle, though they rise to
ten-fold the Importance of the past
year (Which, as further shown, is a
physical impossibility), are an insig-
nificant percentage of the whole. as is
proven by the statistics.-Ex.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA special to
the Herald from Washington says: II
is said to be the present intention of
President Mckinley to incorporate the
recent Spanish correspondence in his
annual message to Congress. He does
not deem II compatible with the public
interest to publish the full text of the
notes pending further correspondence
and the carrying out OF the promises
made by the Spanish government, The
papers will be accessible 20 members
OF the committee on foreign affairs for
their guidance in dealing with various
resolutions which will com before
them. 1t Is reported that Spain asked
to have the correspondence withheld
for the present for political reasons
The new ministry fears that its on
cIllatory attitude toward the United
States as shown by its note may u
embarrassment at home and thereby
make II impossible to carry out the pro-
posed reforms. on the other hand,
there is the fear that lingo members Of
Congress, who have been expecting so
much at the hands Of Mr.. Mckinley.
may not be satisfied with all that Spain
has promised and that another out
break Of Congress will tend to aggra-
vate the situation in Spain, The Pres
dents chief desire now is to stave on
action OF any kind by Congress until 1t
can be definitely known whether
SPANS new plan Is to succeed or fail.

Spring Is Coming.

Are you ready for the warmer weather,
with its prostrating, weakening, debilitat-
ing effects?
Is your blood rich and pure?
Are your nerves strong?
Is your appetite good, your digestion per-
feet, your physical system exactly right?
Few can truthfully say yes in answer
to these questions.
During the colder season, humors have
accumulated in the blood. Close confne-
ment, diminished perspiration, the use of
hearty foods, fats and sweets, have made
the blood impure. Spring humors-erup-
tons, boils, pimples will be the result unless

fed with Hoods Sarsaparilla. A course of

other disagreeable and painful symptoms.
If scrofula poisOns the system, causing
swollen glands, running sores, discharges

troubles will be sure to manifest themselves
with increased malignitv in the spring.
Hoods Sarsaparlla eradicates the last YES
tige of scrofula and is absolutely necessary
at this season to prevent these eruptlons
Dyspepsia, indigestion, nausea, pain after

sad results.
Ninety per cent. of all the people need to
