News from Manden and Dick.
erson, North Dakota, state that
it is generally believed that 7s
per cent of the range animals
have already succumbed to the
winter, the chinook on the 10th
coming too late to save them.
Bad lands ranges which have
been over-crowded the past few
years, will have but few cattle
this season. 1t is stated Pierre
Wibaux puts his loss at a mill
ion dollars, as 25, 5,000young Utah
cattle he put on the range last
fall are dead. 1t is impossible to
travel over the range and no ex-
act figures can be had.
We are told that Yale has been
disgraced by thirteen of her
undergraduates sending a flag
and a letter of good cheer to
Corbett. We doubt such action
on the part of the Yale students
has disgraced that institution.
Since their disylay of rowdyism
last fall, while Bryan was speak
ing on the campus grounds at
New Haven, we have doubted
whether the students could do
anything that would reflect upon
their standing as young men. 1t
is fitting and proper thing that
a college noted for its football
players blatant cyclists should
have its colors placed in James
j. Corbett's corner the day of
the great battle between the
noted bruisers.
Mr.. Bryan will give half the
royalties received from the sale
of his book, 1.-The First Battle. =
to the cause of bimetallism, and
has appointed a committee whose
duty it will be to properly expend
the funds reserved for that pur-
pose. The committee is Senator
James K. Jones, Senator Henry
M. Teller, Senator VIM. V. Allen
and Hon. A. j. Warner. In ans
wer to a communication from his
publishers, stating that $40, 900
was due him as royalty on the
first months sales, Mr.. Bryan at
once instructed them to forward
S4, 500 to Mr.. Jones; 81, 500 to
Mr.. Warner; 81, 500 to Mr.. Allen
and $500 to Mr.. Teller. Mr..
Bryfn based his division on the
vote he received from the four
parties represented by the gent
lemen named.
Some sound advice to young
men Remember, son, that the
world is older than you are by
several years; that for thousands
of years it has been so full of
smarter, better and younger mel
than yourself, that their feet
stuck out of the dormer windows1
but when they died, the old globe
went jogging along, and not one
person in ten million went to the
funeral or even heard of their
death. Be as smart as you can,
of course. Know as much as you
can without blowing the packing
out of your cylinder heads. Shed
the light of your wisdom abroad,
but don't dazzle people with it.
And don't imagine a thing is so,
simply because you say it is so.
Don't be too sorry for your faith
er because he knows so much
less than you do. The world
has great need of young men,
but no greater need than the
young men have of it. Your
clothes fit you better than your
fathers fit him-they cost more
money, they are more stylish;
your moustache is neater, the
cut of your hair is better and you
are prettier, oh, far prettier than
pa" But stop a moment, young
man, and reflect. The old gent
leman gets the biggest salary,
and his homely, scrambling sig
nature on the business end of a
check will drain more money out
of the bank in five minutes than
perhaps you handsome auto
graph can do during the balance
of your mortal life. Young men
are useful and they are also
ornamental, and we all like them
but they are no novelties, son,
oh, no, nothing of the kind, they
have been here before. Don't
be SO modest as to shut yourself
clean out, but don't be so fresh
that you will have to be put away
in a cooler to keen from SDoilino
