Clipping wool beats clipping oou

Clipping wool beats clipping cou-
pons. The interest on the invest.
ment is SO high as to make interest
on bonds look stinted by COMPARE
son. AS an example Of the profit
on sheep, Robert Noble Of Owyhee
county sold his wool clip this year
for $125,o0O. Not great many
years ago Bob was d common sheep
h.aaar. lie saved bis little wages,
bot a few sheep, and to make a
long story short, his wealth has
been gradually growing ever since,
and it Is now very near the million
mark, and be has acquired no title
lis not even a Colonel. Before ac-
quiriug wealth and fame he was
known as Bob the herder." Now
he is Robert Noble, sometimes, but
more frequently Bob Noble Once
upon a time, not very far in the re
ceding past, be came very near be
ing drawn into the whirlpool Of pol
tiles, narrowly escaping a nomina-
ton for Governor Bob was lucky
SIN not being overtaken By such a
calamity. II the nomination had
fallen to him the politicians would
have pulled the wool over his
eyes" with all the force and elo-
#queuce at their command, would
+ have lahored hard to convince him
he was the greatest man on earth,
and no doubt would have wholly OF
partially succeeded, and then they
would have proceeded to fleece"
him for campaign and other pur-
poses, and finally Bob would have
been a great deal wiser and very
much poorer-richer in wisdom but
poorer in purse But wealth in wis
dom is poor compensation for an
Iemaciated pocket book, however
much moral teachers and ripe phil
osophers may preach to the con-
trary. Bob rose from a common
herder to a millionaire in the sheep
business, aud that il glory enough
for one man without being nomin-
ated for Governor And besides,
Bob's qualifications for the govern
j orship are no greater now than they
were when he herded sheep at $25
a month and cooked his own frying
pan bread. But Bob is all right,
and will stay all right SO long as he
continues to clip his wool and doesn't
monkey with the kicking end of the

More Trust Prosperity.

IN the town OF Paramount, Ohio,
near Cincinnati, the citizens are now
experiencing taste Of the good
things which the great system Of trusts
has in store for people everywhere. At
Paramount there has been in steady
operation for twenty years barbed
wire fence factory employing some
500 men. This factory having now
fallen under tile control OF the steel
trust, now closes down. The trust ac.
quired it for that purpose. The shut
down was not occasioned by an over
supply of barbed wire fencing; it was
ordered with the intention Of creating
an under supply. OF course the 500
employees have been thrown out of
work, and some of them who voted +,
either willingly or under coercion. for
the advance agent OF prosperity" two
years and half ago, are doubtless
wondering whether closing the minis
really has any virtues in the direction
Of opening tine mills. The disemploy-
ment of these 800 men at Paramount
is chiefly notable because it happens
to be concentrated in its effects. There
is nothing else peculiar about it. In
more scattered way the same thing
is going On all over the country. IN
der the trust regime not only mechan-
les, but clerks, bookkeepers, statesmen
and small business men are being
crowded into the lists of the unem-
ployed. Yet we are told that times
are prosperous For whom?-Elko
