Using Oxen in ST. Louis LumberYard

SStup oAeu III ot. LOUIS hummer u
st. Louis Republic: 1t may surprise
many persons to learn that the day OF
the OK is not yet passed, so far as st.
Louis is concerned; that there is n
place i'm this city where ken are en-
ployed in large numbers in prefer
ence to horses or mules in work
which goes ON daily, within n few
yards Of Broadway.
This place. is in the c. l.. Liebker
lumber yards, North st. Louis. The
| yards are generally filed with large
hard wood logs, which require shift
ing from place to place in the process
of treatment. 1t is for this shifting
that the oxen are employed, and it is
not unusual to see several yoke of
oxen attached to a long chain, drag
ging n log behind them.
This faculty of hitching any number
of oxen together is perhaps the
strongest why they are used in the
lumber yards.
About a dozen are employed in the
yards, all told. They are all about
the same size and are hitched up, or
yoked up, with wooden Jokes. The
method of guidance Is the time hon
ored "gee" and "haw' and a long rod
like a fish pole takes the place of
reins. The goad has been superseded,
however, by the more modern black
snake whip, and this is the ouly mod
ern feature about the teams. Ac.
cording to the superintendent of the
yards, the company will continue ia
use oxen so long as they are pur'
chasable.

MEET HIM WITH A SMILE.
A Rulc That E,icits "a Protest From
Married Women,

II do wish some one would write Il
few rules for men," said a young mar
ried woman recently. I'm awfully
tired of reading in magazines and
newspapers that / must meet my hus-
band when he comes home from his
office pleasantly and cheerfully,' that
the house must be like II new pin, l
must be prettily gowned, the dinner
must be daintily cooked and served
and hat he mustn't be worried with
a recital of the troubles of the day, no
matter Of delirium supervenes for me.
These precepts are all right theo-
retically and under ordinary circum-
stances are practical. Every woman
follows them instinctively who wishes
to retain her husbands admiration,
but aren't there a few laws of this
sort laid down for men to follow?
why isn't there some one to tell
them to look cheerful when they,
come and to forbear 10 grumble if
dinner is q trife late for any good
reason, to be o little sympathetic and
affectionate and remember that theirs
are not the only troubles in the
house?
According to the ordinary writer
a woman's whole married life should
be spent in practicing expedients to
keep her husbands love from growing
cold, while he apparently may pursue
any course he pleases, civil of UNI
civil, tryannical or g~entlemanly, and
be sure of retaining hers.
This may not be the masculine idea
of the case at all; the ~sterner sex may
not really expect to get the whole
globe and give nothing in return, but
it Is not the writer's fault if they
don't. ! sedulously keep all such arti-
cles away from John, for he's a very
good husband, and I'm afraid such
literature would put ideas into his
head and spoil him.
Now, poor unenlightcned soul, he
has an icea that my side of the part
nership has its own worries, and he
tries to help me straighten them out,
but who knows how he would change
IL he ever discovered that he is really
made of china and has to be handled
with care to keep from being broken?

CHAPTER VII

- M
There seemed to be something radi-
cally wrong about the prescriptions of
How to Win n Fortune in Wall
Street." Chester Sewall, who tried his
best to follow them faithfully, found
their operation far from satisfactory
and was forced to the conclusion that
there was an indefiniteness about the
glittering maxim, "Buy stocks only
when they are at their lowest point
and sell when they are highest" which
made it rather difficult of specific APP
plication. Having mastered the little
book and perused several financial ar
ticles in the morning papers, he went
on the street and proceeded to "oper-
ate" in n tentative way, with two sac
tive" stocks, in the selection of which
he believed himself demonstrating in
spirational astuteness. From one Of
the specious but suspiciously seedy
'curbstone brokers" on New street he
bought a put on one stock and
'call" on the other. Hardly had he
done so when those particular stocks
reversed their previous tendencies.
The one on which he had the 'put'
went up, and the other upon which he
held the call" went down. Then he
picked out another stock and tried a
~"straddle" on it, w%hercupon that Sc
curlty-which previously had been
lively enough for any reasonable per-
son-suddenly seemed to beparalyzed,
or anchored fast, moving neither way.
After that his margin" was wiped
out on a straight purchase of stock.
All this, it will be understood, was
not n matter of two or three days ex-
~perience, but of as many weeks.
"They lure but to betray," he re-
pcated sadly TO himself, hinging his
little book into the fire as n marker"
on the point of his fortunes when he
realized that half Of his financial
fleece had been shorn away and he
was still simply a lamb" He had not
even had beginners luck" And yet
he could not give up v~enturing far
Their in the vain hope that he might
have n turn of fortune, and at least
win back what he had lost. He could
see nothing else for him to do, moth
ing else in which to employ the rem
nant of his patrimony that was left.
So he went on Operating" and losing
more, not very rapidly now, for he
was timid, but none the less surely.
And, as the climax of his unwisdom
in that unlucky time, he took Trina
into his confidence. He could not mar
rate to her the ups and downs" Of his
speculative career, for 1t had been all
downs" and m ups" and the story
seemed monotonous to her, though
she was too kind to say so plainly,
Perhaps she would have had more
sympathy for him if she had realized
how vital his struggle had become and
could have appreciated the cruel in
tensity of feeling suffered by inexper.
fenced players at that desperate game
of chance in which he was engaged
But he could not bear to tell her that
his first essay in the battle of life had

"BEEZY" STOLE A BASE.
Baseball Player With Big Appetite
and Uncouth Ways,

unu ohCOuiH ways.
Lewiston Journal: There was
"Beezy" McGuirk-do you remember
sweet Beezy, Ben Bolt? Sweet Beezy,
of whom they relate that he brought
down his clothes in a six-inch valise,
but his appetite came down by
freight.
On his arrival in town McCuirk APP
pcared to President Isaacson, of the
baseball association, at the latter's
store. Beezy carried a grip-a fuzzy
canvass affair about as big as a
woodsman's mitten. lie had all his
possessions there.
Say, boss said McCuirk, "canyer
give me a dead straight line on a good
~hashhouse? Me names McGuirk, and
I'm Oh de team
President Isaacson sent him to one
of the smaller hotels. And then for "A
brief time the tumult aroused by
Beezy's arrival in town subsidized.
Then n day appeared unto Mr..
Isaacson, the proprietor of the hotel.
He had woe in his face.
II like all those boys that you have
sent up there, and ! get along with
them ~first-rate," said the hotel man.
"But there is that fellow that they
call Beezy-only just that one-I
don't like him."
whats the matter with him?"
"We1l, he's too tough. He sits and
chews tobacco and splits on the mar
BILE steps. He won't spit anywhere
else. Now, / don't like that"
"Why don't you tell him SOP"
81 don't dare. He is too tough"
"We1l, tell him to go somewhere
else"
II don't dare do that either. i tell
you that fellow is awful tough"
81 don't know what i can do" said
President Isaacson. you'll have to
run your hotel yourself. But I'd get
rid of him if L didn't want him
around.
About two days afterward Beezy
again appeared at Isaacson's store
He was "all picked up" lie was NOV
ing. He carried the fuzzy little valise
that he held as gingerly as though il
contained dynamite.
"Say, boss" he commenced, "Tm w

MYSTERY OF The CLIFF JEWELLERS

Systematic Attempt Being Made at

Who are the cliff dwellers? Where
did they come from? What races are
they connected with? What were
their customs? asks a Denver dis
patch.
These are questions that remain to
be solved by scientists. The genesis
of the race whose houses are found
perched in almost inaccessible clefts
in the cliffs in Colorado and Arizoa,
New Mexico and Utah, has never been
even guessed at. For some reason
most of the investigators along scien'
tific lines have left the queer little
race alone, and it is today almost as
much shrouded in darkness as in the
days before ~anthropology was n sci
ence and its devotees had become in
terested in the study Of extinct races
In the state capitol of Colorado is t.
be commenced the first systematic at
tempt to unravel the mystery of this
people. The collection of skulls

Richmond Times: Rev. John Jasper,
who maintains that 1.-The sun do
move" was seen yesterday by me, and
asked If he had anything TO say about
the eclipse. II don't wish to discuss
it," said the old preacher, and try as
hard as he could the newspaper man
utterly failed to draw him out on that
subject.
You still believe that the sun
moves?" he was asked.
Yes, sir; / believe it as much as |
believe that / am sitting here, and no
man will ever be able to make me be-
lieve that it don't move until he can
convince me that the word of God is
wrong. The sun has been moving ever
since the Lord put him in his habita-
ton, and he has never stopped but
once. and that was when Joshua COM
mended him to stand still. When
Hezekiah was lying on his couch sick
and asked the Lord to spare his life,
the Lord turned the sun back ten de-
grees, but the sun never stopped"
but surely" i said, "a man who
has studied the movements of the sun
as you have must have given some
thought to the eclipse and its causes
and it's bearing on the harmony Of the
spheres"
~ don't care to discuss it," was the
reply. 81 have never i~nterfered my
self about il. | know that it occurs
annually, but God attends to all those
matters. Some things he has revealed
to his children and some things he
has kept secret from them. The
heavens declare the glory Of God, and
he has arranged all these things to
suit himself. The sun and the moon
and the stars obey God, but man
don't. That's the trouble. The news
papers have printed a heap about me,
but ] am not seeking popularity. l
am trying to save mems souls. The
way ] got into the newspapers was
that some reporter came out here and
printed a lot of stuff about me and
made me out n contemplate liar. /
never thought any nan was fool
enough to believe that the sun did
not move. Everybody can see with
his own eyes that the sun do move.

II certainly thought that You would
have studied the eclipse and that YOU
would have been willing to tell what
you thought about it in connection
with your theory"
81 don't care to discuss it," was the
'eply for the third time. The old man
hasthoroughly made up his mind that
the IL move and no phenomenon of
nature, eclipse or what rot, can shake
him in that belief.
Rev. John Jasper has now been
preaching the gospel for siXty-onc
years, and he says that there is no liv-
ing man in the Baptist church, white
or colored, who vas preaching when
he went into the ministry. He has
outlived all his contemporaries. He is
now almost blind. but is still a vigor-
BUS man, and as earnest a speaker al
