Learning The Lesson.

Experience is h harsh school, but it
seems to b. only on5 at which western
siocNm IN can learn. They have acquir
&c some bitter experience during the
pre- sent winter, bat while tho lessons
have been costly they will prove cheap
in the end. They haye discovered
two things says the Denver Stockman.
One is that they must provide feed and
care for their cattle during he winter
storms and the other is that to do this
successfully they must handle smaller
punches of better grade cattle. Re.
duc"d to figures it is something like
this: John Smith bought 1900 head
OF cattle last spring for which he paid
SIS per head. Counting the inter ,st
IT'S per cen:, his investment stands
'lm S64.SO). Suppose he suffers a 20
,erc.nt loss and sells his cattle next
all at SD per head, he gets blck only
Ssh 900. Instead Of 1000 head of COM
non cattle, suppose he buys 1000
mead Of common cattle at 500 per head
de f eds them ana cares for them all
Water and ~ fall sells them at $50
per bead. Fl has had no LOSSES and
his accoun would be: 1000 steers at
$50, $4,000; interest, 81 800; total. $2l,-
800; sold at S}).O)0. Allowing So Der
head for Iced an cure h. is still $5.-
100 ahead on the deal A slockman
with any kind Of d head for figures ami
a little horse sense will n IT. be long
in drawing his conclusion after this
winters experience. Fewer cattle,
better grade and better care. That
will BE- the proposition in the future On
the western rauge.

Bucked a Wyoming Storm.

Richard B~rdckenbury turned up at
his Office with frozen ears, nose, cheeks
and chin. H. showed the effect, of a
ten days combat with the elements in
his endcavcrs TO save his sheep in Car
bon county, Wyoming. He Was called
by wire u week ago Saturday, by his
herder. John Miller. When Mr.. Brack-
enbury arrived he learned that lilller
had been awakened by the storm at 3
O'Clock in the morning and found that
the sheep had drlf,ed with it. A ire
mendous binding snowstorm was on
and the 1900 head had got away from
camp. When daylight came search
was made: but no trace Of them could
be obtained. AT 5 O'Clock that evening
the herd, about forty short, were
brough into camp by two thorough
bred c%olli.s, the property of Mr..
Brackenbury The ~suppositiou is that
the dogs succeeded in turning the entire
herd and held them upwind until
camp was reached. How far from
camp tn ~ had strayed will never b,
known. The next day the herder
'ried to get away from this camp to
another, and while enrOute another
storm came up. and without knowing
it the herd got into a deep piled

"Amiable Land Of Hypocrisy

There is no country in the world
where charity is more talked about
than In that Of our good friends the
English, says a French newspaper.
They have societies for the protection
OF yellow children, dogs, aged drunk
ards, former convicts, retired thieves,
etc. Their kindness, like their covet-
BUSINESS, extends over the entire uni
verse, and their missionaries 20 all
over the world in order to save souls
and to seize their neighbors' goods.
They are pure souls, with hearts Of
gold, and II they did not possess teeth
as long as those of the famous vol.
encountered by Little Red Riding
Hood, they would be the best people
IN the world. 1t is rather unfortunate,
however, that their humanitarianism
Is not exercised a little more at home.
The good English know all this, but
they do not give themselves the trou-
BILE to find any remedy for everyday
conditions Of suffering at home, while
their humanitarianism shines with
great brilliancy in favor OF negroes
and drunkards. Amiable land of hy-s
pocrisy, where nearly every possessor
OF a red nose Is member OF a TEN.
perance society.

KNOCKED Out BY . soreeon owl

John Young Mayes tells a story OF
remarkable encounter which he had
the other night that would tax the
credulity of his friends in believing
were 1t not for his good reputation for
truth and veracity and the fact that
he bears the scars of battle In EVIL
dence. Mr.. Mayes says that few
nights ago while passing under some
trees In his yard his attention was
attracted by couple of screech owls
that would fly at him In a threatening
manner. He, however, paid little at
tention to them, thinking they could
90 him no harm, when suddenly one Of
them few at him and struck him full
In the face. The blow was so sudden
and came with SO much force that he
was knocked down and partially
stunned. The owls continued the at
tack until Mr.. Mayes made his es-
cape into the house. He now exhibits
q bruised eye and several scratches
about his eyes and nose.

people, especially in Denison, voted for
him. The inevitable defeat came and
instead of accepting it gracefully and
thanking the friends who had been 10y
al to him in spite of party, he became
more embittered.
In 1897 Mr.. Shaw was nominated.
There was a feeling of gladness and
congratulation throughout the entire
county. democrats We'd with republic
cans in expressions of satisfaction.
Nearly every prominent democrat in
Denison joined in showing their respect
but Romans was called out of town
that day. Upon his return he took in
earnest the task of returning evil for
good. By large expenditures of money,
by forcing enmity to Shaw as the test
Of democracy, by extraordinary effort.
by the employment OF men such as
Gary, by the SURFING up OF every per.
sonal grudge that could obs found
Romans succeeded in securing a large
vote against Mr.. Shaw.
Mr.. Shaw was triumphantly elected
however by one OF the very largest ma.
jOrltles ever accorded a candidate tor
Governor of Iowa. HIS administration
has been such as to meet the approval
OF the vast majority not only OF Iepub-
licans but of democrats. The honor
aud the grave responsibilities of beng
war governor were his and he did
his duty manfully. In those exciting
times he may have made mistakes but
we know that he made fewer than al.
most any other governor Ill the United
States. Few matters of a partisan ma
ture have arisen during Gov. Stiaw's
administration, it has been straight
business and it has been conducted on
the strictest business principles. The
democratic party as Whole recognize
that there are no Estate issues.'' The
democratic party as a whole is satisfied
that if there is to be republican gov
ernOr Mr.. Shaw is as good as anyone
who could be named.
The object of this article is not to
make personal attack on Romans, we
have simply stated the fact of his per-
sOnal quarrel, its causes and progress,
and we ask the people of the county,
both democrats and republicans if we
have not had about enough of it? Is it
not time to drop Romans quarrel and
to cOnhne our next election to matters
of principle? Does not this proposition
meet with the approval of your own
best Judgment? Are the democrats of
the county willing to have their party
prOstituted to the furtherance of per-
sOnal grudge?
The case before the jury is not Ro.
mans vs.. Shaw, but Democracy VS.. Re
publicanisln.
