roubIes of a Rich Man.

According to his own admission,
Henry Willard, one of the two surviv-
ing brothers of the three who were ia
nous in Washington hotel history for
a third of a century,is in failing health
although he is active as a cat on his
feet and has every appearance of ro-
bust vitality. Henry Willard Is one Of
the wealthy men of Washington. He
retired from active business several
years ago-that is to say, he retired as
much as he could A day ago friend
met him on the street and inquired
about his health.
81 am feeling badly" was the reply.
II do not sleep we'll. toss all night
long and wake up unrefreshed. don
know what am going to do"
ranking to Jolly" him the friend
remarked: "If 1 were as comfortably
fixed as you are l think would sleep
sounuly. l certainly would not lose
sleep from worry"
am not so sure of that" rejoined
the old man, and his voice took on a
querulous tone. # am not so sure
what you would do if you were in my
place. Why, just think of it! Suppos-
in you had from $5OOOOO to $1,000, 900
lying idle in bank all the time and had
to worry about investin it. Maybe
you would not find il so blamed easy to
sleep as you think. Just think of it
all that money not earnin' dollar!"
The friend closed the incident by
remarking that he would try valiantly
to struggle against insomnia under
simnAr conditions -Chicagn Post

BATTLE WITH SHARKS.
A Desperate Encounter In which
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.

n Desperate encounter II "nseo
Two Man Eaters Were slain.
Probably the most desperate fight
which has ever been witnessed between
a couple Of sharks and a human being
took place at Havana some time ago.
Several fruit peddlers had boarded .

swarthy, bare legged young chap noted
among his comrades as q clever swim
mer. The purser Of the vessel was stand
ing by the ;angway, holding bis child
in his arms. watching couple Of sharks
that wee hanging about the ship. Ac-
cidentally the child fell out Of Its To-
theirs grasp into the water. The father
Immediately jumped overheard and
seized his child. and in q moment the
sharks were making for the pair.

edged knife. fairly disemboweled II.
The other was not nearly 50 easily
disposed Of. The shark seemed to real
ize that in the fruit seller he had q
dangerous foe and apparently spared
for an opening. Several men on board
the vessel blazed away at the monster
with revolvers. but the young fellow
begged the men TO desist being un-
nerved by the firing. Fish and man
dived alternately. and when the fish did
make for its foe the plucky boy dived
and plunged the knife in Its side.
The water was crimson with blood
when the three were hauled safe and
sound to the deck Of the vessel and q
handsome sum Of money was collected
for the victor.

AMPLE REASON FOR HIGHER PRICED
BEEF,

BEEF.
Demand ard supply are the balance
beam that requisite prices. It Ia only
occasion Ills aud for brief time that
any speculation or corner can tilt this
beam up or down from its proper level.
A few wears ago the price Of beef and
beef cattle, in conss quence Of the free
range aud the ranch industry, dropped
to discouragingly low figure. In 1892,
the population Of the country was 6o,-
600. 900 and the number OF our beef
cattle 81, 200. 900 In 1899, our popula-
ton has reached $50 900, while our
beef cattle supply has dropped TO "a ,0OO,-
600. With the increase 10 population
going steadily on and continuing as It
no doubt will, it 10 not easy TO see how II
can be possible for the country In the
next generation 70 get back or even ap-
proach the ratio between beef cattle and
population that caused the low values
Of seven or eight years ago. In fsct, 1t
IL not possible for stockmen to overcome
the falling OF In numbers during the
past year, and with 1t make annual gain
enough In the next decade to even keep
up and maintain an even balance with
the population. :.
Those farmers who put themselves 10
line with this certain demand for beef
cattle are on the right track, and 80 long
a. they breed and grow good cattle will
be sure to be we'll rewarded In their ef-
fords. This by no means indicates that
dairymen are all wrong Not at al. Our
increasing people must have milk, butter
and cheese. II the attention OF stock
men Il centred on beef cattle 1t detracta

while meeting large shrinkage 10 the
number Of beevee there was hardly 81
much butter and cheese made as the
year before. 60, whstever ID to the ad.
