berg Gymnasium. For some reason
the boys did not fancy Heidelberg over
much, and after ten months stay there
the family migrated, travelling for
summer through southern France, the
Tyrol and Switzerland, after which the
boys entered the Gymnasium at Alien
burg While there he was schoolfel-
low of a number of Juvenile royalties
and other youngsters of notable lineage.
and between him and the young Prince
of Saxony a genuine close friendship
sprang up. Later, as son OF the mayor
while the worlds fair was on. he made
the acquaintance of many other Of the
worlds great folk, among them the
Duke of Veragua, the Marquis of Bar
boles, Eulalia, the Spanish Infanta. and
Porfirio Diaz, the president Of Mexico.
After finishing at Altenburg he pre-
pared for college in Chicago Jesuit
school, after which he went through
Yale and later studied law and was ad-
mitted. His practice never amounted
to much, however, and when his father
was made worlds fair mayor. young
Carter H. took over the fathers real
estate business and, with his brother,
William Preston Harrison, carried 1t
on till the old man bought the Chicago
Times. Their conduct of the paper was
a terror to many in Chicago. 1t had
circulation of perhaps 10000 when they
took it. but they supported the Pull
mai, strike, cut the price to a cent, and
raised the sales to $4,000 day. They
thought they had a cinch on Chicago
Journalism then. but they must have
been wrong. for they were afterward
glad enough to sell out. and the paper
is now merged with the Chicago Herald
under the title of the Chicago Times
Herald
When they began with the Times
young Carter took the chair of manag-
ing editor and his brother was made
business manager. After a week or two
perhaps a month-each was dissatis-
fed with their job, and they changed
places. Perhaps the resulting eccen-
tricities of management both upstairs
and downstairs had something to do
with their ultimate abandonment of the
publishing business.

Mortified by the sound of a muffled de-
tonation, the crash Of glass and the

he saw that the cupola was badly
wrecked, while volumes of black smoke
were pouring from the paneless sashes.
At the same time the vilest odor ina

How Cattle were Once Acquired.

A ranchman's cattle are what he looki
to for by far the greater part of his in
come. Nearly all the work done on the
ranch is for their use and benefit, and
they have to repay him. TO increase his
herd as the capacity Of his ranch increases
is the rancbman's idea. AS long as man
has only few cattle, say perhaps 25 COWS,
be can give them the best of care and all
the feed in tho winter they can "lay to,
and the increase will reach q very high
percentage. Quite likely every COW will
bring calf for the first year or two. AS
the numbers increase, however, the per
centage drops. 1t is always much better
in new country and on fresh range.
Here is an opportunity for industry in
stock raising to show itself.
In the early days, when large herds
were the fashion, the Industry" many
men displayed in securing a large 'calt
CROP was through the medium of brand
ing iron. It used to be a common saying
on the prairies that good rustler with q
branding iron would beat any mans herd
of cows in the matter of increase. BY the
word "rustler' was meant an energetic.
unsorupulous man. One would hear OF
some big stcokman and be told that he
started ten years ago with single black
steer and branded over 300 calves the first
year-a truly phenomenal increase

dams in bargaining as 1t was in the day
when Manhattan Island was bought from
them for s23. Their long intercourse with
the white men has taught them many
things about the value of their possessions,
and they are pretty sharp in making the
ordinary trades which come up in theii
daily life. Nevertheless it is still true that
when it comes to question of large sums
of money-thousands or even hundreds OF
dollars-the average Indian is bewildereo
at the mere idea of SO much wealth. Ar
incident which happened not long ago in
New Mexico illustrates this point.
An Indian, while crossing the tracks OF
one Of tho railroads, had been killed by G
train. His squaw demanded So, 600 as an
indemnity for the loss of her husband, and
the company were willing to settle the
matter. So they sent to deal with the
squaw man who had had considerable
experience in negotiating with the Indians.
He took with him several bags of ''dobe, "
or Mexican silver dollars, which pass freely
among the Indians and settlers in that
part of the country. Sitting down grayely
with the aggrleVeQ WIDOW, ne began count
ing out the big shining dollars one by one.
When the pile had reached 100 he glanced
inquiringly at the squaw. But she shook
her head firmly. The agent went on with
his counting. At the end of another 10t
he looked up again. The squaw repeated
the negative shake of her head, but hei
eyes began to brighten at the heap of sill
YER. At 500 the agent paused little
longer. His customer still held out, though
with unmistakable signs Of weakening.
The agent counted more slowly and i'm
pressively. When he reached $34S, tbs
squaw stopped his hand.
"Heap plenty, heap plenty" she said
with decision, and gathering up the silver
she accepted in perfect contentment this
settlement of her claim for s3,o0o.-New

LEWISTONS ARE HERE TONIGHT.
Tonight's game with Lewiston will be
most important one. If Portland wins
they take the second position in the race
and Lewiston drops down another notch.
If Lewiston wins they strengthen their
grasp on tho second position and still
nave show of getting back into the frs
place. The Lewistons play fast polo nm
der every condition but tonight they will
probably be seen at their best. Portland
will strain every point to take tonight
game and as 1t will be one of the most
important and exciting of the season I'M
doubtedly big crowd will be present to
witness the contest.
The race in the Maine league is now q
very close one and from this time out
every game will tell The Rockland team
is playing hard to give Bath the cham
pionship. Bath seems to have pretty
good hold upon it but there is many a
slip, etc. Lewiston is struggling to hold
it's own but of all the teams Portland is
making the best record and SO far does
the home team outclass any of the others
that in the last six weeks theythave taken
on an average of four games out Of five.
Thsir record in the last six weeks or so
has never been equalIed by any polo team
