NY NEIoHBOR.

Our dOmiciles stand side BY side
With but step between.
Ny trees their cooling shadows throw
Across her plat Of green;
And often, when she saunters forth
To view her snug domain,
watch to catch eEeye, but all
Ny scheming is in vain.
She viii not look at men; perhaps
She thinks it is sin
That should stand beneath my tree
And drink earth's beauties in;
Or, if she turns my way at all,
It's with CLASSY stare
That makes me wonder at my gall
For being anywhere.
She moves maiestically along
That is, as best she may;
For she is neither tail nor fair
And just trifie gray;
fancy she was pretty in
The dim, dim long ago,
But nOW-ah, well, what matters it;
She holds me as her toe.
Sometimes think how nice twOuId be
To dwell in concord sweet,
To nod and smile, as neighbOrs do
Where'er we chance to meet;
But, ah ! alas, know It's vain,
We never can be friends
She cultivates garden, and
[ keep a flock of hens.

he undertook to subdue the Boer; the
hardest he has undertaken since King
George III. tried his strength against
the American colonies. When num-

the burghers has been by far the more
stubborn than that of the colonists.

and that men who fill every one of the
multitudinous lung cells with fresh air
at each inspiration will move slowly
down to their graves with polls almost
as thickly covered as was the head of

If load of coal is left out of doors,
exposed to the weather. say, for q
month, it loses one-third of its heat
ing qualities. If ton of coal is placed
on the ground and left there and an
other ton is placed under a shed, the
latter loses about % per cent of its
heating force, the former about AZ per
cent. Hence it is a great saving of coal
to have it in dry place, covered over
on all sides. The softer the coal the
more heating power it loses, because
the volatile and valuable constituents
undergo a slow combustion.

TRANSFORMATION or CATIlt

tation of cattle is, like many other questions connected with the treat
 mcnt of dumb animals. essentially a
 modern question. Tn times when each country must feed it's oyn, and the only way of getting cattle or sheep of horses from one place to another was to drive them in herds, under the pro. tcction of drovcr, the problem was iu one way simple. The animals could not travel more than certain distcncc each day without definite injury, which would probably be visablc to the pros. pcctivc purchaser when they arrive al their destination. IL was Co the inter. est of the drovcr, therefore, to be very careful.
 With the advent of cattlc-trains however, il became possible to trans port all sorts of live stock round the world, if necessary, in less time than it used to take to cross d state. The railway takes the Texas steer and lhii'AN lAllti iiA NliiNhHp lll h DdNN VI time which must seem to his bewildcr. ed brain an eternity, but is really but few days. His treatment en route can not well be so cruel as to depri- cate his ultimate value in any way which the purcha ser can see; moreover, in such cases the purchaser often buys on faith, and pays without seeing. Sc long as most of the cattle get through all right, if q few die of neglect, or sellers reputation is good. The prop crty interest cannot be relied upon in this matter of proper treatment to de- pcndents. IL was estimated in the old days of slave-trading that if half the cargo got through the dreaded Middle Passage alive there was profit. The property interest was no safeguard there. ltnever protected any creature which could be ill-trcated by thought less or cruel person with no immediate punishment. Ii is one of the charac- teristics of the callous and cruel man, as d rule, to be short-sighted. He sell dom sees that in the long run, humane treatment is profitable.
 Tn this case the trader and the rail- way man do not suffer much even when their treatment of cattle is absolutely cruel. IL is the public which suffers, and il is the public which will there fore have to take the matter in hand. There is d great difference in the sys- tems of various railroads and dealers in their treatment of cattle and sheep, and some are much more humane than others. But it is not so very long since sheep were packed like sardines in close cars, without drop of water during long journeys, in the hottest of weather; and cattle were subjected to the same treatment.
 Such conditions breed filth and dis ease; and diseas sed meat is not safe for anybody to eat. It will probably nev- CT be possible to ascertain the number of deaths which have resulted from the eating of impure or diseased meat, and for every death from this cause there are many victims of disease. Some times the ailment is obscure and in- ciduous, but it is nevertheless there. Sometime ago there was scare about trichinae which resulted in many peo- pie becoming Jews or Mohammedans

THE OLD RELIABLE REMEDY SINCE 1852
DR.. THAGHER'S LIVER and BLOOD SYRUP
At your Druggist 25 and so cents
hands Of John Barnes In Upton.

6aldS OF JONI oafuSS LII A1ptoA.
When the Chickasaws returned to
the region Of Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall, Barnes invited them
to shooting match, the prize to be
the skin Of very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test, and one Of them won the prize
When he saw the skin, he turned It
over and said: "Ha, ha, me kill him!
Me shoot him! Seew And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed q donkey, very useful animal,
but he was sure that they had done
It by mistake, believing it to be wild
animal.
The Indians listened attentively to
the white mans words and then con-
suited together few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to his
pony, unhitching him and leading him
to the spot where gang Of white men
stood, Barnes in the midst Of them.
Then one of the Indians spoke:
1--WE sorry we Kill donkey. we Inlnk
he belong to the woods. We find him
in cane. We think him wild. We
sorry; now we pay. We take no white
mans boss, pony, nothing Of white
man. We honest. We have ponies,
that's all. Take pay" And he mo-
toned to the long line Of ponies, held
by their owners.
Glow many?" asked Barnes.
"White man say" returned the In.
dian, "take plenty"
The honor Of the red men was not
equaled by the white men, for, be II
recorded to their shame, they took
from the Chickasaws 35 ponies to pay
for the accidental killing Of one don.

A Good Memory.

A bad memory in most cases might
be more properly described as one rust
ing from sheer want IF use. The TACT
is our brain cells are always ready to
oblice," but we do not give them suftl-
cient encouragement in their we'll
meant efforts. Naturally the individ-
ual may cultivate memory for GER
tain details more readily than for 9TH
ers, but the general basis Of all recol-
lective acts is the same, and there Is no
department Of human mental activity
in which the motto that practice
makes perfect holds more truly than
In the science OF mnemonics. The
view may be expressed, indeed, that
we never forget anything presented to
our brain cells. When we say we have
forgotten, we really mean that we can
not ind the mental Photographic mega
tive whence we can print of a positive
Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.

LIBEL IN ENGLAND.
Not Hard There to Give Cause For
Actions at Law.

Actions at Law.
England's libel law is q terror to the
defendants. \ short time ago q young
playwright sold piece to q London
manager and drew a small royalty
each week, which was paid by check.
One week when the playwright pre-
sented the check to the bank for cash
ing it was returned to him marked
mo funds" The playwright had the
check framed and hung conspicuously
in his study. He took pleasure in
pointing it out to visitors and making
biting comments until one day the
managers lawyer called and told the
young man that he was committing
a serious libel on the manager, where
upon the check was taken down at
once.
Over in England the railway COM
panies, or at least one Of them, put up
in the station placards bearing the
names Of passengers who had violated
rules Of the road, with addresses, the
nature of the ofense and fines impos-
ed. The offenders took the matter into
court, and now the placards show only
the words opposite the ofense, "a
passenger"
It frequently happens that names
given to villains and ridiculous charac-
ters in fiction will duplicate in real life.
A certain English novel had it's scene
laid on the west coast Of Africa, and
the villain Of the book was major
in the army, supposed to be stationed
there. To the noyelist's dismay there
appeared one day out Of the unknown
a real major, bearing the name Of the
villain Of the novel, who also had been
stationed on the west coast Of Africa.
In vain the unhappy author protested
in the consequent action that he had
never seen or heard Of the plaintiff.
4 verdict for the latter was given,
with substantial damages.
4 Birmingham lawyer held that one
could libel a man effectually enough
by leaving out bis name. He brought
an action against a local paper for
persistently emitting his name from
its reports Of cases in which he pro-
fessionally was engaged. Presumably
he imagined that the loss Of the ad-
yertisement he would have obtained
by his name repeatedly appearing was
damage enough. He was nonsuited,
however.
