The earliest brides of the season had

What a Brludle Cow Did.

An interesting account of The profits
in cattle raising was related 20 me by
friend of mine. who is a well-known
stockman in Western South Dakota.
He said: I'll tell you story that will
start you to thinking, A ncighbor Of
mine who lives ten miles west of Rapid
City, has herd of forty-elght COWS
which represent the family of a TWEEN
ty-year-Old brindle COW he still owns
He bought the COW fifteen years ago,
and in that time she and her offspring
have produced that herd besides $1305
worth Of steers sold during those years
from The family. The old COW appears
just as valuable a breeder as ever, and
will likely increase the family before
she dies" - Correspondence of the
Omaha Bee.

Golf Tournament Teas.

AT our golf teas, for instance, every
Saturday men are very conspicuous
feature. The teas follow the handicap
tournaments, of which one of series
is played each week-men's and wom-
ems singles and doubles, and mixed
singles and doubles tha handicaps
being changed after every series as the
players improve or 80 perhaps - play
worse. A big table Is spread under
the awning OF the clubhouse verandn,
and although matron Is responsible
for the entertainment, we girls take
turns in aiding her. On the table is a
centrepiece of flowers-usually wild
flowers-small dishes of cakes, sand
wiches-the most popular being those
filed with grapefruit marmalade,
which has so entirely cast the good old
orange marmnlade into the shade
candies, and tall pitchers of different
cool beverages. The appointments for
making hot tea are mt one end of the
table, but iced tea-lnto which we put
a little raspberry vinegar to improve
the taste-is much more popular. So
Is the mixture of ginger ale and sarsa-
parilla; lemon and orangeade, with
strawberries and pieces of pineapple
floating on it.-Anna Wentworth, in
