One winters night he was reused by
two farmers from a hamlet ten miles

they would prefer bis services. "very

"You may 60 into the goat business

west to eat goat meat" said Wiley o.

from books what my father learned
from experience" and then Mr.. Cox
gave away a trick of the trade.
"The man who goes in for Angoras
will find that it is true they will jump
anything under 100 feet high and climb
a sapling. They will get at the neigh
boris wash as sure as it goes on the
line, and there will be lingerie to pay
for. But if you would be on the safe
side and keep the billy there turn him
up and cut away the little creeper that
you will find at the bottom Of the hoof.
1t will not hurt him to lose it. but it
ruins his ambition as a mountebank.
1t will save lots of trouble to have a
chiropodist get at the Angora with a
nail trimmer"
Goat meat cannot be distinguished
from mutton ordinarily. In every car
of sheep that comes from New Mexico
there are sure to be from two to a doz-

CHANGE IN SYSTEMS.

Since the November election thu.

undergoing radical change The

giving way to that Of go operation

that corporation is about to
enter n t.usi its stock Immediately
takes sudden jump On change
and, rs in the case of the Steel
trust, it is enabled to issue $780,
coo, 900 watered stock with which
to buy up all competing industries.
The advance in stocks has been
such as to set spectators wild.
This is shown by the weekly re-.
ports of the clearing houses of
the big cities. Last week the
clearing house in New York
showed more than double the
business of one year ago nearly y
two aud one quarter billions OF
dollars. How long this boom will

Speculative gains create nd
wealth. and generally what one
man makes another looses. In
the present case it is the EN-.
ployees of the corporation who
will be the loosers. 1t is the pur-
pose of the combines to save oper-
ating expenses by doing away
with thousands of high salaried
aud low salaried employees.

inevitably follow; when that will
