Here is rather a good story, which
has also the merit of being true. A
large firm in Aberdeen recently engaged
as office boy raw country youth. 1t
was part of his duties to attend to the
telephone in his masters absence.
When first called upon to answer the
bell, in reply to the usual query, care
you there?' he odded assent. Again
the question came and still again. and
each time the boy gave an answering
nod. When the question came for the
fourth time. however, the boy, losing his
temper. roared through the telephone:

Down here they saw the horns off the
wild or Texas cattle before they ship
them east. The animals pack better,
take up less room in the cars, are not
SO likely to injure one another and look
better to the buyer. A Texas steer may
carry just as much beef and tallow as a
muley COW. but his long horns make
him look leaner. Texas cattle have a
bad reputation, too, and when their
horns are sawed off they look as inno-
cent and harmless as barnyard heifer.
