of the free riders of the plains Since the
cattle can not stray beyond the boundary
of the fenced-in range, there will be small
danger of stampedes; the necessity for cut

do not belong; for lassoing strays to in

branding itself will all be done away with.

FEATURE OF THE AGE.
The Tendency of Mankind Toward the
Larger and Less Selfish Life.

From the United States Investor.
If we were to ask what is the chief char
acteristic of the present age We should no
doubt receive a great variety of answers.
Our own answer would be that funda-
mentally the most marked feature of these
times is attempt to eliminate human ma
ture as the governing factor in the affairs
of mankind. OF course, do not mean
that any one believes that the race can be
made over again and constituted with an
entirely new nature; but the fact which
most deeply impresses itself upon the stu
dent of human affairs today is that there
seems to be quite unanimous belief that
some sort of moduS vivendi is capable of
being attained whereby we shall all while
retaining in our makeup the old traits with
which man was endowed when Sentient life
first made it's appearance on this planet
agree nevertheless to subordinate our nat
ural promptings and to bind ourselves to
act strictly in accordance with carefully
devised schemes of economic and social eX-
pediency. The old animal Self-seeking
man is to become a thing of the past. The
animal and self-Seeking propensties will
no doubt remain but we shall all be so inn
mensely impressed with the theory of the
whole race working in the most delicately
adjusted and harmonious relations to the
achievement of great ends looking to the
greatest good to the greatest number that

activities in every department of human
existence. The larger life" is now the
thing by which we all swear, and in which

and its tendencies as defined by the phil

A Picturesque Person.
There is no doubt that In the old days the
typical cowboy was worthy Of all that has
been written of him. Twenty years ago he
owned and ruled the empire Of the plains
from the Texas Panhandle to the Bad
Lands Of Montana. He lived out of doors
and out of sight of human habitation for
eleven-twelfths Of the year. All of his wax
Ing and some of his sleeping hours were
spent in the saddle. His only companions
were the herds he tended and his fellow

When the Glover Was In Bloom.
Written for The Evening Star by David ]. Evan


When the clover was In bloom
Oft We roamed the meadows through;
Kate and I, hand linked in hand
Gath ring flowers fresh with dew.
Birds and bees were on the wing
And the robins trilled their lays;
We were lovers fond and true
In those happy summer days.
Down the orchard path We strayed-
Meath the apple-laden boughs;
Seeking birds nests in the grass
Driving home the patient cows.

As she raked the golden wheat.

During recent years, however. conditions
have been gradually changing. Herds
multiplied until the ranges began to crowd
one another. Homesteaders fiocked In. took
up choice quarter sections and fenced them
off. The rapid increase in production
brought down the price of beef and cur
tailed profits TO the point where bad sea-
son meant ruin for a cattle owner. Five
years ago the cattle business was almost
completely demoralized. and the owners of
herds were hard up. Then some of them
began to send their cattle down into Ne
braska and Kansas where corn was plenti-
full and cheap, at the beginning of winter,
and to feed them for month or two there
before sending them to market. The price
of cOrnfed beef was much higher than
that of cattle direct from the range that
good many men have made comfortable
fortunes within the past few years by

In the first place, eat less of everything
