Just as the buzzing, busy bee
Goes forth in search of honey,
So should the busy business man
By seeking trade find money.
And as the bees that buzz the most
Find most of sweets they prize,
The cream of trade will always go
To those who advertise.

THE figures published by the Agri-
cultural Department showing the COM
paratiye value of the horses, mules,
cattle and sheep in the country on
January 1st, 1896, and on January
LIST, 1900, serve to illuminate one Of
the most remark able situations in the
industrial history of this or any other
country. According to these figures,
says The American Economist, the
total value of these animals on
January 1st, 1896, was 81, 54l 1896, 1889,
while on January LIST, 1900, the total
value was 81, 042 $40, 819; an increase
OF $5O1, 444, 474, or of more than 32% 4,
for which MCKINLEY and the Protec-
ton OF American industries are re-
sponsible. When the states of the
Union are asked what they think OF
the Administration what they think
of the industrial policy which has
brought about this wonderful increase
in the value OF farm animals, which
has virtually put half a billion dol
lars into the pockets OF the American
people in this one direction alone,
every one OF them ought to give the
answer which little Vermont, whose
share OF the increase was nearly
$4,000, 900, gave the other day. Fortu-
nately for us all, a sufficient number
of them will give that answer to in
sure the reelection OF President Nc
KINLEY and the continuance of the
American system Of Protection. But
it ought to be unanimous, for, ac-
cording to the figures, every state in
the Union has had it's share OF the
increase.

GREW EXCITED.
A Young Man EndeavOrs to See His
Girl Through the Telephone.

An amusing incident happened last
night in a certain drugstore not many
squares from THE LEDGER Office.
A young man rushed in, almost push
ing in the front of the building in his
hurry, and asked the proprietor if he
could use the phone a moment.
The man who pays the toll assented
and with vigorous twist of the crank
he grabbed the hello-back part of the
machine, threw it up against the side of
his head, and told Central to give him
the desired number.
Presently he was heard to say
"Hello!" in a very sweet voice, and
then his tones were endearing in the
extreme.
He stood making googoo eyes at the
talking machine and drinking in every
sound, all the while saying bon-bon
things and scraping one foot on the
floor.
Presently he flshed watch out OF
his pockets, scraped it on his trousers
and held it up to the receiver, looking
as though he were trying to see the fair
haired chocolate drop at the other end
of the wire.
This was too much for the crowd OF
rubbers, and he was compelled to ring
off without getting TO see through the
"phonine" machine.

KENTUCKY FLASHES.
THE CLOSING DAY.
Horse Breeders Association
Was q Successful One.

Lexington, Ky.,- Oct. 13.-Friday
was the closing of the 2sth annual
meeting of the Kentucky Trotting
Horse Breeders association, and it
was a most successful one. Ten days
of almost perfect weather, a great
track, magnificent fields of horses
and grand sport. The attendance has
been large each day and both socially
and financially the meeting has been
one Of the greatest in the history of
the world famed institution. A num-
Der of records have been beaten and
many fast miles have been trotted
and paced.
The weather was cool and pleasant
for the closing day, and fully 1000
people gathered to witness the events.
There was three races on the card
with the Blue Grass stake, $4,000, for
2:19 trotters as the leading feature,
and Joe Watts, selling at $25, to $40
for the field, was the favorite. Cor
nelia Belle was also well thought of.
five heat race and one worthy the
occasion. Watts took the first heat
in a happy style and then Cornelia
Belle captured the second and third,
then dropped the fourth to Palm
Leaf. She won the fifth and race
with hot finish with Palm Leaf.
The race in every heat was between
the three named.
The 2:22 trot for purse of $1,000
proved to be an easy thing for the
New England mare Dolly Bidwell,
who clearly outclassed her field, and
won in straight heats from Free Sill
yer and Telltale, the fight being prin-
cipally between the latter two for
place. All three showed race horse
quality and put up a great contest.
Nonamie outclassed all the others
in the 2:2O pace and won as she
pleased in straight heats, the con-
tending horse in each heat being Az
fie. The good daughter of Bourbon
Wilkes, Nonamie, is a race mare of
rare quality and it will take a good
one to beat her in her class next
year.
