An exchange, after interviewing the
business men and loafers of its city, says
all of the most successful business men
were whipped freely when they were
young. while twenty-seven of the thirty
street loafers interviewed were mammals
darlisgs whea they were little, the other
three were raised by their grandmothers.
The moral is; Thrash your boys soundly
when they are young to make good busi>
ness men of them; hut TO furnish a good
supply of street losfers the mammas
should make pets of their boys, or send
them TO their grandnas to be spoiled.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1897-12-23

An exchange morali2es as follows:
Beware how you speak of a womah's
character, Think how maRy years she
has been building it. OF the toll and
privations endured, Of the wounds re-
ceived, and let nv suspicion follow her
actioas. The purity of woman is the
salvation of The race, the hope of future
greatness anc the redemption of man
Without her purity man would sink be-
meath the weight Of despair and a star
to guide his life iRto a channel of safety.
Think, than. before you speak, and re-
member that any hog can root up the
fairest flower that ever grew, so the viiest
nan can ruin the fairest character"

The story comes floating down Salt
creek on a piece Of driftwood, says the
Minneapolis Messenger. that a farmer
and stockman near the headwaters of
that historic stream went to Kansas City
a few days ago with a bunch of ripe
cattle. 1t was his intention to market
his cattle and buy others for a later
market. Now, it is said farmers can
make money on stock, ever if they haye
to pay as high, or even n little higher,
price for feeders than they get for their
fat cattle, the profit beng made on the
increase in weight, but it takes close
work TO do 1t, This was well known TO
the farmer, and while he sold his cattle
well he had to pay half a cent more for
the stockers he bought than he sold his
ripe cattle for. The cattle were loaded
at Kansas City at night, and when they
arrived at the yards near the farmers
home, the boys were there to see the
stock unloaded. AS they went out of
the car down the gang plank into the
yard two or three of the steers attracted
the attention of n of the boys, who
seemed to see something familiar about
them. AT last, as one long-horned
brindle steer went down the plank, he
was positive tina, he was no stranger to
him, and calling to his father said
why, dad, you have brought back that
old brindle steer" The old man iayes.
tigated and found that he had bought
back at a higher price eight OF the same
cattle he had sold in Kansas City, and
paid freight both ways on them.

According to the Alaska Miner, a gems
tleman who has escaped from the Klon>
dyke region gives the following frigid
account of some things that happened
up there: "A man told me who had
wintered up there seven years that it
was so cold in January that they froze
the flames of their candles and sold them
for strawberries. lie said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze,
and then thawed them u in the morn>
ing. He said he had seen four men die
of collie from eating whlskey that was
frozen so hard that it wouldn't thaw
out inside of them The COWS all gave
ice cream till they froze 10 death. He
said he.knew a clerk in a hotel on the
Yukon who got rich selling the dia-
monds he wore, SAID diamonds being
nothing on earth but ice crystals that
of the country. He saw a man fall off
Tue roof of n barn and freeze so stiff be-
fore he lii that he broke in two when he
hit the ground lie said he had seen
smoke freeze in a chimney till the fire
wouldn't draw, and he knew of one case
where the smoke froze after it got a
hundred feet up, and fell back on the
house, knocking a hole in the roof big
enough to drive a yoke of steers through,
He said the reason nights were so
cold in that country was that the dark
got frozen so hard the daylight couldn't
thaw its way through in less than six
months"
