. Drawing a Splinter.

Removing a splinter from a suffering hand may not be a nice and pleasant subject, but home surgery may some times give some one feeling of heart felt joy. The sufferer who illustrates the matter on this occasion was @ car penter. He was working at his trade St an institution over which the sisters of the Roman Catholic church presided. One day he broke off an ugly splinter in his hand and could not get it out. He went home at the close of his days work feeling no annoyance from the wound, but by the next morning the hand was in serious condition and so painful that working was as impossibil ity. On his way to the doctors the car penter stopped to tell the sisters why he must delay his work.
 "Let me see what I can do with your hand before you go to the doctor" said one of the sisters. The man demurred "Yes," said the sister, with gentle in- sistence, cit will do no harm anyway" She quickly filled within an inch or so of the top rather wide mouthed bottle with steaming hot water, and as she held it another%sister pressed the in famed part of the injured hand gently down over the opening. Such peculiar sensationl It seemed to the man that his whole hand was being drawn with great force into the bottle. He would nave taken it away, but the sister was holding it gently, but firmly. Then there was feeling of relief. It seemed as if the inside of that hand had become liquid and was pouring its unpleasant contents into the bottle. That was all most exactly what was happening, and with the liquid went the offending splin- ter. The hand was bathed and bandaged, and the carpenter continued his work without further inconvenience New York Times.

THE CATTLE KINGS.
ONCE A GREAT POWER IN THE WEST,
 THEY ARE NOW DISPLACED.

omau Stock haisers nave Dr1Ven Out tne
 Larger Ones-Big Ranges and Water
 Holes Fenced In - How the Bonanza
 Cattle Outfits Made Enormous Profits.
 The great cattle ranges of western North Dakota and Montana, where for nearly 20 years, the bonanza caIT1e opt fits have held complete sway, and where cattle have roamed the vast prairies as will, like the buffalo quarter of Q cen tury ago, are passing out of existence.
 The deathknell of the large cattle companies has been sounded by the in numerable settlers who have taken up vacant government land in the great grazing region, built ''shanties" in the vicinity of every natural spring and water hole. fenced in thousands of acres of grazing land and driven the immense herds of the bonanza cattlemen from place to place, until there is no place left for them to go. All the years that the vast prairies of the west have re- mained unsettled have been worth mil lions to the cattle princes. Hundreds of thousands of cattle have been imported, placed upon the ranges at a cost not to exceed $I6 a head for the 2-year- old steers, allowed to roam at will for two years, at an average animal cost not to exceed $3. and then sold in the marEH- at Chicago for an average price of $4s to $50. The free ranges offered by the millions of acres of unsurveyed and un- occupied government land have been turned into millions of dollars in cold cash by the cattle kings, but the tide of immigration to the west has sealed their fate and they are ready to go.
 For 90 years nearly a vast region ly- ing along the western part of North Da- kota and the eastern strip of Montana measuring 100 miles in width and 150 miles in length has been entirely given up to the interests of the cattle kings. Thousands of head of cattle have been grazed year after year, countless train loads of beeves have been shipped to market and millions of dollars have gone into the pockets of the cattlemen. Pierre Wiebaux, the Montana stock man. said to be the largest single owner of cattle in the United States, has num- lered his total possessions of cattle at 50, 900 head. The Berry -Boice Cattle company has owned and grazed each year not fewer than 30, 900 head, and there are numerous companies that have sssayed to keep on the ranges an annual total of from 10000 to 35,OOO head The vastness of the business of these

 The mint is connected with the cen ral telephone station, and should there ,e trouble the captain of the guard ,ould communicate with police head quarters in brief space of time.
 eff you come across anybody who thinks he can get rich quickly by help ing himself to our coin, remarked the superintendent in parting, tjust advise aim to think it over carefully first"
 In compliance with the superintend- snt's suggestion the advice is hereby given.
 And it is pretty good advice to follow po.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

The more closely we subject the mat

There are two wnys OF neutralizlng It's
normal rcaults and or rcpudlatlng It's
anlnatlng principlea ono OF these In
TO employ the methods which wc have
rucccedcd Ia dcstroylngi the other is
to drop the whole enterprise In IT, state

the United States has thus Far acted.
That principle has been expressed M

To abandon In n critical moment the
populations omanclpated from the SOW
crcignty or Spain, may seem more rc-
Hrvctnhlc than to exploit them. but
neither N. one nor tho other IN In hnr-
mony with the conception ~ national
duty which Inspired the prosecution Of
the war There are only three possible
positions 10 be taken unon the question

right 20 exploit them. and. since we
have defeated her. that we have sue.
oecded TO that right; 49, that spain was
WRONG IN her treatment of her colonies.
but that we had no right to Interfere;
and go that Spain was wrong to an
extent that Qualified our Interference

Those who accept the last position must
admit that our duty has not been fully
performed until we have substituted a
better order than we found-ln truth.
