WON'T TRAVEL BY TRAIN.
rbis Cattle Dealer Started Out with
Buggy, and TO a Buggy
He Sticks.

Elijah y. Hofses, aged 70, of Werners-
vile. Pa, is a cattle dealer who has
travelled over a large part Of the west
ern states and has never ridden on a
railroad train. He thinks nothing Of
getting as far west as the cattle ranges
of Kansas with his horse and buggy,
buying up stock on the way out ana
back.
81 don't know that have anything
against railroads" said he, that would
induce me not to travel by train. |
ship all my stock by train, | guess
the reason | do not ride on. cars my
self is that I started out by buggy, and,
as l am used to it, l keep at it. have
my usual route to cover, sometimes
extending 1000 miles. l travel a GER
tain distance every day. There are
certain number of farms or stock deal
ers to see between towns. In fact, a
man can have time table by buggy
the same as railroad trains have, |
may not be so regular, though. \ thou
sand-mile trip can be made without
varying three days for the whole route.
1t all depends Oh how business goes.
"When a man travels on the road
by buggy for 40 years, he gets to be
pretty well known, and if he has cared
for his credit. his honesty and his good
character, he has no trouble buying
stock cheap and right, and if he pays
spot cash there is a small profit for
him after he has paid his freight ard
ether expenses east and sells out for
safe cash. When I get tired of buggy
riding | get out and walk. That has
kept me in the good health | now en-
! joy. There is no exercise better thar
Wa ling. WhenI drove cattle eastin&tea1
Of shipping by carload lots, | walked
much more than in the past few
years. The old-tilne Groy,Gg is not
profitable now Competition is TOO
shrap. Dressed beef is shipped east
too cheap, The only way to get any
profit in live cattle is to buy spot cash
by visiting th@ farmers and stocl; deal.
crs in person, lard you cannot get to
their farms nearly SO cheaply as by trav-
cling by buggy. You can buy railroad
tickets with stOp-off privileges, bul
then you have your expenses in hiring
teams to get into the country where the
farmers live. Travelling by buggy ID
also cheapest. l carry very little cash
money, as always pay by check. There
IS no danger On the highways, but it
is always best to travel by day and rest
at night. In the hot weather l make
starts at four IN. and get over a good
deal of ground by nine o'clock, A few
hours in the evening finish up the days
work in cattle buying.
81 had one horse l used every week
day for ten years. / never travel or
do business on the Sabbath day Horse
and man must rest on the seventh day,
or the first day of the week, whichever
way you want to take it, Thirty miles
driving every day, stopping, buying,
fcrt'iug and shipping, is smart work
enough. Of course I enjoy the life.
Any man would if he once got into
it. It's the best school in the world,
| think, and about the only way TO see
the country, Some of my friends call
me foolish for not riding on railroad
trains, but that's all right Ineyer was
married, and having no family was al
ways free to go and come. IN. Y. Sun,

Dnrlng Deeds or Modern surgery.

In recent address before London
medical association DR., l.. 4, Weather
ly prominent physician, said that il
surgeon of 60 years ago could wake
from his everlasting sleep in this world
and find himself in one Of the modern
operating theaters of medical insiitu-
ton he would rub his eyes and stare
with utter amazement at The daring
deeds Of the modern surgeon; that t"he
would see the patient brought tl al
ready unconscious Of what was about TO
he done; he would note the scrupulous
cleanliness which antiseptic surgery
las taught us in all the surroundings
Of the room, the appliances Of the|op-
Grating surgeon and his assistant; he
would perhaps, see the abdomen opened
and It's contents handled with the most
perfect confidence, aud this or h0t
operation, never dreamed Of in his day
as being possible without instant death,
brought to u successful termination,
And wondcrment would be justlhable,'
DR., Weatherly thought the fault With
the modern young operator In surgery
was that he was a little too prone to
use his knife as q means Of diagnosis,
without giving his powers Of obsergo-
ton chnnce to arrive at right con-
cusion, The address of the distln-
gulshed physician has attracted vide
attention. Icsllc's Weekly

ONE NICHOLS.

This is from the Nam
moth Spring Democrat;
Francis Nichols, OF Mime
sofa, claims to be of divine
inspiration and has organ
lied societies in western
Illinois and Iowa. He says
that the 400 people believ-
ing in his creed viii be
saved and all others will be
lost. He has given it the
name of Brethren in Christ.
The members can have no
friends outside, even the
ties of matrlmony are not
recognized, All the means
of the members are placed
in a common fund of which
Nichols has charge. No
money is spent unless Lord
Nichols spends it; and no
jewelry or fine dress is worn
unless it is upon Nichols,
Nichols, he pays the freight,
(out of the pockets Of his
doluded congregatioa.) and
the members dance at his
music, 1t goes without cay
ing that there are 1900 peo.
pie in western Illinois and
Iowa who delight in being
humbpgged, But there are
others who would delight to
have control Of the money of
400 people, and they'd
claim divine inspiration or
anything else to get it.
We would like to secure a
contract to furnish each of
these 400 with a separate
Vet the same) preacher.
Our preacher is not expen-
sive, wears not, eats not,
neither lies, steals or cheats,
is honest and very plain
spoken, does not decrease,
and will actually save, not
only the 400, but will save
Nichols, all other hypocgites
and the entire word if they
Will only believe and do the
commandments. Our preach
er is a small. 25c bible. For
