RAISING THOROUGHBREDS.
Rich Men in the East Take Great In
 terest in Fine Cattle.

Wealthy men of the United States have conferred a great benefit upon the stock industry within the past 1ew years by taking up fine cattle as d hobby. That as rule they have acne this to their own profit does not alter the truth of this statement, fot 1t took wealth in the first place to get the pus- mess under way and maintain 1t until an income resulted. As it is many or them spend more in experimenting and improving than they receive from their herds A fine calf with all the qualities of a noted sire and dam be- comes a greater joy to the enthusiast than the price the calf may bring. At the same time the man who desires to improve his herd buys this calf and the direct benefit of large investment is his for a moderate sum-
 The Armours, the Havemeyers and many others could be named who find relaxation from the pressing cares of large business affairs in the raising of fine stock and every year from their magnificently appointed farms file strings of animals of royal descent to leaven the vast herd of natives which furnish the annual quota to the y. an Armour about packing houses and he will take the interest a man gives to his usual business. Talk to a Havemeyer about sugar and he is | weary. Talk to either one of them about fine cattle on the farm and the most momentous affairs will be laid aside to discuss the points of wobbly legged calf that will sell for perhaps i 1,11ci ic L@L and to every man hobby is thing apart from the usual grind of every day life.
 T gave my card to the president of a big eastern bank,'' said MT. c. S. Cross, president of the Emporia, Kan. bank and proprietor of the famous Sunny Slope farm, to a Kansas City Star reporter, "and he looked at it coldly and remarked: sAh. yes; of the Emporia bank. Good bank. Hmm Anything I can do for your
 "'Yes,' I said, pointing to the pie ture of fine Jersey bull on the wall of his office. You can tell me whose bull that is.' The president of the bank turned sharply around to ne and said: That's my bull then explain ed that I was the proprietor of Sunny [ hAOPS, III 1AdhOco. lllS WuO!6 Iduu6I changed, and he talked cattle for an hour, and would hardly let me go
 When I did go, he said, pointing to my card: Take the name of your bank off that card and put Sunny Slope on it whenever you want quick 1 hearing from an eastern man who is interested in fine cattle. There are | hundreds of banks, and only one Sun- ny Slope herd.' I followed his advice i later on when in New York and found l he was right. The name was an open 1 sesame to the inner doors of the great est magnates. This simply shows | continued MT. Cross, what an interest the raisers of fine stock take in g business they do not follow for what profit there is in it. It explains, also
 why the United States is so rapidly i improving the grade of the cattle shipped to market by the rangemar

THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
 Chanfar IT

I.
 "A thing begun is half done" The house was now to rise as monument of MT. Gant's enterprise. It was not his intention to build two-story house, but on the contrary he thought to build a one-story house, leaving the gables open for a thorough circula- tion of air. His idea was to secure the greatest coolness possible. Upon the convincing figures of Justice Mey- CTS, which showed that it would cost but little more, he decided to build it two stories, close the gables and on the inside, at the option of certain future occupants.
 This decided, everything went off smoothly, the house rapidly assumed shape, the people of the neighborhood watching it closely and making it the subject of conversation at the fireside during the long winter evenings, and the people on the ranch enjoying a continuous social during the house raising.
 On the 18th of December the house was half done. The. frame was all up and the roof and siding all on, and the building began to indicate what it
  as it assumed it's shape and size the comments and favorable expressions grew in number. It was no wonder, however, for rising to the height of two stories and extending on the ground for a distance of thirty-two feet it gave promise of magnificent structure way out on the border of civilization and untamed nature
 To nf a big Christmas tree at the Reddin school house. It was no small affair, as the presents represented great deal of money and bore the names of a great many people. The next day as the carpenters and ranchmen were about to start tc work they were sur prised by the abrupt appearance of MT. Cant joyfully fiourishing a red bandana handkerchief, and gleefully exclaiming, 'Who says that somebody hasn't got an eye on this house?'
 But the events in this story must not be anticipated too much, 50 this will not be dwelt upon for the present.
 The building of the house continued without any delay being caused by the holidays more than for Christ mas and New Years. When the proper time came door knobs, locks, catches and hinges, window pulleys and other incidentals from H. w. Ryder's large establishment were put in the house as they should be. The provisions hav- ing run low again a wagon load of groceries and dry goods was hauled out to the ranch from J. Jungerm ann s bargain store" MT. Meyers having induced Mr. Cant to build the house two stories instead of one, and MT. Cant having decided to build another room on the porch, there were sev- eral more loads of lumber taken out

PENNY POSTAGE
In EngIdnd's Colonies Is Now an As
Sured Fact.

LONDON, Dec. "a Not since the es-
Establishment of the penny post in Great
Britain q half century ago has there
occurred such an important
and progressive innovation in
the English postal SER
vice as the imperial penny postage
becomes effective tomorrow. The new
regulations affect postage on all mail
between Canada and Great Britain and
her colonies and between India and
Great Britain and all British posses
sions.
The credit of initiating the reform
belongs entirely to the Dominion gov
eminent, whose lead was followed by
India. Australia and South Africa
will doubtless fall in line before long
thus establishing the inter-c olonisl
penny post all round.
