STORIES OF A DAY.
Britons Who Had Their Wisdom
Teeth Cut in Texas.

~ few years ago, when cattle ap-
peared to be gilt-edge investment, and
any man with good-sized bunch Of
beef steers seemed sure millionaire,
a lot of Englishmen with more money
than brains invaded New Mexico for
the purpose of buying up all the
ranches obtainabe," said Mr.. d. w
Landrum, Of that territory, to a
Washington reporter.
What a soft crowd they were. those
Britons, and didn't they get done up
by the natives, One of the local cow
men got onto the game at an early
stage, and he proceeded To sell the
strangers more cattle than there were
in six states and territories. His
name was Butts, and his plan of cam
paign was very simple All Butts did
was to ride from ranch to ranCn with
his clients and show them the herds,
which always counted OUT exactly as
represented But he had i'm his cm-
ploy a gang Cf smart cowboys who
as fast as one herd was Counte l
drove them across the country in ad-
vance of his employer and the Eng
lish buyers. and combined them with
other cattle on a different range, In
this way the same steers were count
ed. not once, but twice and thrice
over, and the foreigners, in their
simple guilessness. never suspected
the SWindle.
"One poor devil, who paid cash for
what he supposed to be 10000 head,
found out subsequently that he had
really got about 4,5O0 and he straight
way wandered off on the prairie and
committed suicide. Ever since then
have beer leery of New
Mexico. and cattle ranches no longer
tempt them. 7 suppose the experience
of this lot out in our country is the
main reason that rowadavs the Lon
doners prefer breweres to beef As an
Investment I"

SHERMAN AVENUE MISSION.

The building located on Sherman ave
nue. which has been utilized by the
mission of the Plymouth Congrega-
tional Sunday school is owned by the
Deleware, Lackawanna and Western
company.
Heretofore the company has per-
mitted the mission the free use of it
and also kent it in repair. 1t is said
the company is disposed to donate the
lot and building to the church, but this
could not be verified last evening.
The donation would be very accept
able to the mission promoters and ap-
prcciated by the large membership. An
idea of the Importance of the school
may be CLEANED from the fact that four
street cars were required to convey the
children and teachers to Nay Aug park

He Didn't Get It P. D. @.

II have a young friend in Philadel-
Dhia who has what are called sporty
tastes" said Mr.. Richard Lee, the we'll
known Virginia cavalier, to "A Wash
ingtOn Post reporter.
He went to the races not long since
and as was his wont got broke early in
the game. Often an appeal to his fonG
and plutocratic father had brought re-
lief, but too frequent applications had
soured the governors temper, and it
was doubtful chance whether he'd
apply to a relief fund on this special
occasion. SO my friend thought he'd
try the light and airy dodge, and Civ
ing the pater a touch in verse, this is
the gem he wired:
The rose is red.

This is what he got in reply:
