EARsED WIRE IN THE WEST.
What the Introduction of Wire Fences

What the Introduction of Wire Fences
Has Meant TO Man and T.: st.
In the Century magazine Mr.. E.
Hounh. author OF THE Story OF the
Cowboy" tells of the introduction OF
that "fourfo!d abominat!oh which
marked out the path OF civilization III
the far West:
\ lew years ago = vil!ager down IN
Illinois bent bit OF iron about q
strand Of fence wire. and noticed that
lis cattle avoided il. Out Of this
idea grew a system OF fencing which
has preserved our pine forests few
decades longer, but which brought to
RI end many decades earlier the
glorious free days Of the open and un-
fenced West. The great cattle
ranges, over which roaned ore of the
most independent populations ever
seen On earth, could never have been
fenced by rails, or stone walls, or
boards OF pine. 1t was dltficuIl
enough for the spider-like genius q
advancing civilization to keep thelt
fenced with the ever-renewed web q
the fatal wire against which the wild
men CT the early days rebelIel Sc

thousands Of miles after thousands o
miles, the cheap and easily spun wei
crawled out across the West and helt
il hard and firm. You can never I'M
coil the deadly web, neither can yor
replace the victim, which it strangied.
Little more than dozen years ago
the writer was with party hunting
for buffalo calves in the upper part o.
the Panhandle Of Texas, where VIC
knew OF / little herd still remaining
of those great animals, even then con.
sidered virtually extinct. 1t was q
weary and desolate land, where be-
tween water-hole and water-hole lay
sixty or seventy miles Of absolute
desert. Not tree broke the endless
monotony OF the plains. The soil
was like firt. The sky had for
months been guiltless Of a drop o!
rain. It was region so utterly un'
suited for the habitation OF mankind
that these last lev representatives ol
passing race Of great American ani.
mails had chosen it as their final place
Of refuge, thinking that perhaps there
they woul, never again hear the
sound of ritieshot or see again the
face of man. Yet one morning, as W.
faced the sun of another wateries:
day, we came upon a line OF strong
wire fence, coming from where III

where even the wind had swept 10

mar7eled and muttered at this thing,
we saw, in the red light of the east,

from their ancient way to some un-

use them. because they are too expensive
and do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major
tells us that one of the almcnts of his cement
costs 1915 pound. and another costs S2.G5 %

cements and liquid glue upon the market
are nothing more than sixteenscent giue.

The profit on Majors ~ mont Is rs much

BIG CIRCUS
Coming to Akron-Ringling Brothers
Here This Month.

Akron is always prepared to welcome
Il new thing in the amusement line. 1t
is therefore a matter of felicitation
that this spring will serve to introduce
cal amusement loving public. Ring
ling Bros Big Combined Circus, Men
agcrie, and Hippodrome has never
exhibited here, but its reputation as a
great arcnic institution has preceded
1t, and something unique in the way of
arenic entertainment is promised. The
date of the show has been definitely
fixed for Thursday May 81, and it is
likely to prove one of the gala days
of the year. Although Ringling Bros.
Circus has yet to make its bow to an
Akron audience, it is recognized else
where as a gigantic amusement insti-
tuition, and one deserving of attention
and patronage. AS matter of fact,
the declaration is made for it that it
owns and operates more railroad cars,
has more horses, elephants, and per-
formers, and covers more ground than
any other circus in the world. The
menageric is also said to be exception
ally large and well selected, while the
big free street parade is described as
the most brilliant display of the kind
ever attempted by II circus manage
ment.
