How Cattle Were Once Acquired,

A ranchman's cattle arc wha5 he looks
to for by far the greater part CT his IN
come. Nearly all the work done on the
ranch is for their use and benefit, ana
they have to repay him. To increase his
herd as the capacity of his ranch increases
is the ranchmans idea. As long as man
has only few cattle, say perhaps 20 COWS,
he can give them the best of care and all
the feed in the winter they can LAY to,
and the increase will reach very high
percentage. Quite likely every COW Will
bring calf for the first year or two. AS
tho numbers increase, however, the per-
centage drops. 1t is always much better
i'm a 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 large calf
crop" was through the medium of brand
ing iron. 1t used to be common saying
on the prairies that good rustler with
branding iron would beat any mans herd
of cows in the matter of increase BY the
word "rustler" was meant an energetic,
unscrupulous man. One would hear OF
some big stockman and be told that ne
started ten years ago with single black
steer and branded over eco calves the first
year-a truly phenomenal increase

uNAPPREclATED GIFTS.
Philanthropy That Was Inexpiicable to
Those Who Profted by It.

gentleman who gave six drinking
fountains TO Boston In 1855 has had some
queer experiences In his attempts to give
like benefits TO other places. He has busi-
ness interests In western city of large
size, and, as he realized the need there of
public drinking fountains, no went some
time ago TO the mayor of that city 60 make
formal offer of a gift of nine such foun-
tains The mayor was more than sur
prised and had long interview with the
would be benefactor, during which he
tired to discover his object in making the
gift. He failed to be impressed by the sim
pie statement that, beyond filling the pub
lie need OF just such fountains, there was
no motive to prompt the offer. The mayor
was incredulous, and the generous offer
was thought to be the harmless work of
a crank. Indeed the Boston man who
made the offer of the gift afterward heard
that the mayor had spoken of his Inter.
view with a crank" to those whom hs
consulted regarding the matter 1t was
only after considerable persuasion and ex.
ercise of diplomacy that his gift of the nino
fountains was accepted. They have been
In position for some time now
In another instance the same benofactor
which he from time to time visited. He
offered to furnish free several hundred of
these, made of iron, and had difficulty in
making the gift acceptable. Even after
this was brought about 1t was a long time
before the town would stir itself to the
point of placing the signs in position. He
once gave a small library to town which
had none, feeling that it would be an ex-
cellent nucleus from which to build up a
better library. The town accepted the
books with some misgivings as to his SAN
| ity apparently, SO unusual did it seem to
the town fathers to have stranger inter
ested enough in their welfare to make SO
generous gift. The books, by the way,
were placed in room set apart for them
and then were practically let severely alone
by the people of the town, who failed to
realize the intended kindness to them

INDIANS DO NOT RECKON HIGH.
How S34S Was "Heap Plenty" In Settle
ment Of q Claim For $1,000.

ment Of Claim For $1,000.
1t Is not SO easy now to cheat the In
dams in bargaining as it was In the days
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 their
daily life. Nevertheless 1t Is still true that
when it comes to question of large sums
of money-thousands or even hundreds Of
dollars-the average Indian is bewildered
at the mere idea of so much wealth. An
incident which happened not long ago IN
New Mexico illustrates this point.
An Indian, while crossing the tracks Of
one of the railroads, had been killed by q
train. His squaw demanded 80, 600 as an
indemnity for the loss Of her husband, and
the company were willing to settle tho
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, y
| or Mexican silver dollars, which pass freely
among the Indians and settlers in that
part of the country. Sitting down gravely
with the aggrieved widow, he 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 1O(
he looked up again. The squaw repeated
the negative shake of her head, but bel
| eyes began to brighten at the heap of sill
yer. At 300 the agent paused little
longer. His customer still held out, though
with unmistakable signs of weakening
The agent counted more slowly and i'm
pressiyely When he reached S34S, TIT
squaw stopped his hand.
Heap plenty, heap plenty, she said
with decision, and gathering up the silve
she accepted In perfect contentment thi

He Was Examined.

Francois Arago, the great French scien-
tist, was q precOcious youth. He was pre-
pared for the rigid examinations of the
Ecole Polytechnique before he was II years
old. M. De Mirecourt tells a characters
tic anecdote concerning Arago's examina-
ton.
The examiner was almost brutal in his
manner toward the young candidates. A
favorite companion of Arago was badly
frightened at his severe questions and fail
ed to pass the examination. At length
Arago's turn came.
"Young man." said the examiner stern
ly, "you are probably as ignorant as your
plete your studies before you risk this ex-
animation"
"Monsieur," replied tho boy, "timidity
was all that prevented my companion
from passing. He knew much more than
he seemed to know"
"Timidity exclaimed the examiner.
"The excuse Of foolsl Perhaps you are
timid also"
"Far from it," returned Arago shortly.
"Take care. 1t would be wise to spare
yourself the disgrace of being rejected?'
"The C,sgrace for me would lie In not
being CT. mined, " said the young candi
date proudly.
Arago's solution of the problems set be
fore him was so accurate and so brilliant
that at last his examiner sprang from his
chair and, throwing his arms about thu
boys neck in delight, exclaimed:
"Bravol If you are not received int
the Ecole PolytechniQue, no one will b.
admitted.
And he then began a career which added
| greatly to the stock of human knowledge
