The difference between man and

pull more than it can push, but man
can push more than he can pull. This
| fact is demonstrated on the ables
every day.

purchase of 200 head of cattle, TO-,
600 head of sheep, and the railroad

This price Mr.. Diers thinks rather
high and the chances are that he will
seek a cheaper locality.

points.
