To an Advertiser reporter Agnew said
as follows:
"In my opinion boxing contests Will

A prize fight is far different from "A

been limited to 25-round contests all
over the world and in some places to

THE MAN FROM THE COUNTRY.
Than He Appears to Be as This
Case Proves.

"The country visitor is no longer
the easy mark he is pictured" said a
policeman to a Chicago Inter Ocean
reporter. thine was when the farm
er-looking person or the man with
the village air was always the victim
of city confidence men and bunko
dealers. That time has passed. The
people from the country have grown
sharp and it is no unusual thing for
the bland confidence man to find him
self the victim of his own confidence.
81 remember a case of that kind
which was very amusing. A steerer
managed to get man wearing a soft
hat, ready-made clothes and boots
into a poker game where the brace
was all right, as was supposed. The
thing did not work, however, and the
countryman won in spite of the odds
Then the gang grew desperate and
attempted to take the money by
force. The granger whipped out a
big, oldfashioned gun and frightened
them so they were glad to get rid of
him.
1.-THE story got out and the police
concluded that the stranger was him
self a crook from some other city.
Investigation proved that while he
was really a farmer from the south
ern end of the state, he was well
known in the villages thereabouts as
frst-class card sharp and handy
with his gun"

HOW CATTLE MULTIPLY.
There Is No Business as Profitable as
the Systematic Raising
of Good stock.

There is money in raising cattle and
no one who has ever kept them and
cared for them in a business way has
ever made a statement to the con-
trary, says the Texas Stockman and
Farmer. A young man cannot invest
$50 in a safer or more certain business
than to buy a good cow and take care
of her progeny for a period of five or
ten years. In ten years $50 at ten per
cent. will double itself, but where can
a young man loan $50 at such rate of
interest? Anyway at the end of ten
years he will only have 500 for his in
vestment. If he will invest $50 in one
good prolific cow and take care of her
and her offspring for ten years, his
$50 will not only double but create
more than 1000 per cent. of the first
principle. AS an example of what can
be done in this line case is given by
the Hoxie Sentinel.
"Ten years ago. says the Sentinel,
"John Sims presented his two sons
Willis and Robert, with a COW each and
put them in Willis Johnson's herd to
pasture, instructing Mr.. johnson to
sell or trade the steer calves for heif-
ers and also sell enough of the increase
to pay the herd bills, which he has
done. Mr.. Sims and family returned
home from Colorado, where they had
been seven years, and the boys found
that each had nice little herd of cat
tie. One had rather bad luck, however,
and only found IL, while the other
found that he was the possessor of 2s,
making a total of As for the two cows,
