mosquitodom, which means New Jer-
sey. I was born in old Passaic and am
mighty proud of it, too. That's where
all the aristocrats of my race come
from. They all have family trees, and
generally live in them when not attend
ing to their manifold social duties.
But 1 have left Passaic. I'm living
in Newark now. 1t is not bad place
in some respects, but l must confess
that the people are hardly as hospita-
BILE as they are over in Passaic. The
very day got here they tried to ar
rest me. When l resisted they tried to
hold me down and chloroform me. 1
subsequently learned that these heart
less persons meant to run a steam
roller over my person. But 1 escaped.
See this hydraulic prod of mine?
Well, that's the thing that saved my
life. 1 sent my photograph to the Jer-
sey editor and you can readily see what
a nice long bill it is. / earn my living
with 1t.
While those mean men were holding
me down one of them measured my
bill and said Ii was three-eighths of an
inch long. Then he ran the tape over
my off hind leg and found it measured
quarters of an inch in length. l
didn't give him a chance to take my
chest or girth measurement.
L Qldnt know what all the nuDDuD
was about. and having no acquaint-
ances in Newark l decided to fly up on
a church steeple and look things over
a bit.
While was rejecting over the ques-
ton OF returning to Passaic some one
fired load of buckshot at me. One of
them made a slight dent in my Krupp
armor plate. One mustn't expect too
much of these Newark people.
But I've got it in for a man by the
name of Doty-one Doctor Doty. He
says my whole race is full of malaria
germs and ptomaines and bacteria.

language suppose 1t is something about

Well, this chap Doty takes a section
of the Standard Oil Works and says
he's going to exterminate my whole
tribe. Just wait till l meet him, and
you bet there'll be something doing.

METHODIST THANK OFFERING
The Commission Endorses the Bishops REQ
ommendation to Extend tho Time Tor
Raising It Another Year.

New York, Aug. 5.-The twentieth
century thank offering commission
of the Methodist Episcopal church OF
America, which has engaged to raise
a fund of $50, 600, 900 as new century
gift of Methodism to the world, has
decided to extend the time limit for
receiving subscriptions one year.
This action was taken on the recon-
mendation of the Methodist bishops,
which met the full approval OF the
members of the commission. Twelve
million of the 100000 900 have already
been subscribed. 1t was originally
planned to complete the huge fund
by December 81. This action Of the

He Says the Billion Dollar Corporation win
BE Surprised When the Strength OF tho
Amalgamated Association Is Known
Unions Fight to Survive.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 5.-"Within q
week every union man and every
union man at heart in the employ of
the United States Steel corporation
will be asked to join in the strike now
being waged by the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION. We must settle whether
unionism is to stand or fall. There
will be no more conferences with
the United States Steel corporation
unless the meeting is asked for by the
officials of that corporation. The
Amalgamated association will not re-
quest a peace meeting" This and
several other significant statements
were made last night by President
Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
upon his return from the fruitless
conference with ]. Pierpont Morgan
and others in New York.
1t Is now a fight to finish between
the great billion dollar steel trust and
organized labor. Mr.. Shaffer says
that he Is ready to employ every
peaceable means within the power
of man to win q victory. No quarter
is to be given and none will be re-
uuested. The entire management OF
the battle has been placed in the
hands of President Shaffer. He has
absolute power to call out every man
who is connected with the organiza-
ton and he intends to do it. He is
satisfied with the progress OF the
fight to date. He finds that none OF
his battle lines have been broken.
Promise is made by Mr.. Shaffer that
the trust will find the Amalgamated
association is strong in many OF its
mills.
Mr.. Shaffer said that the stories
that Mr.. Morgan had been ugly dur
ing the conference on Saturday were
untrue. He said the gentleman had
been courteous and businesslike
throughout the entire meeting and II
he had lost his temper it was after
the adjournment of the gathering.

DAY OF THE ANGoRA GOAT.
Large Herd Soon to BE Estabhsheo
I'm the Southwest by Ranch.
men.


goat is now securing foothofd in the
west and southwest, the time is not
far distant when the goat industry
will take precedence over the business
of cattle and sheep culture. Since
1s49, when the first Angora goats were
brought to this country by DR.. James
B. Davis, of South Carolina, who re-
ceived them as q present from the
sultan of Turkey, the goat has slowly
but surely gained a standing among
the industries of the west, until there
are now many more than a million
goats in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas,
California, Idaho, Utah and Oregon,
says the New York Sun.
Stockmen are awakening to the
great possibilities in the Angora, and
this at time when the profits of rails
ing sheep and cattle are on the decline.
Almost every region of the west pos
sesses the peculiar requisites for at
tanning the best results in raising An
CORA goats, and experts declare that
the conditions in the mountainous
regions of Arizona are almost iden-
teal with those of the province OF
Angora, Turkey. The summers are
warm and dry and the winters cold
and wet, conditions which are con-
ducive to the highest development of
the goat, in flesh and fleece.
So great is the confidence in the fu-
ture of the goat industry that large
amount of capital is being put into
goats by northern sheep growers.
Several companies have been formed
for the establishment of immense
herds on the mountain ranges, and in
several Instances in which sheep have
been excluded by the department OF
the interior from the forest reserves
goats will be put into Craze.
One company, formerly one Of the
largest sheep owners in the west, has
secured the Cook range Of 100000
acres in the Mogollon mountains and
will put in $4,000 goats next winter.
AS rapidly as he can secure the pure
Angora stock he will add to the herds,
and he intends to increase the COM
pany's land holdings until it has 2oo,-
900 or more acres and herd of more
than 100000 goats, by far the largest
goat ranch in the world.
Perrin has made extensive expert
ments with the goats in the past five
years and is confident Of better re-
suits than he has ever gained from the
sheep business. The mohair, or wool,
is worth twice as much as sheep wool,
and the flesh is sweet, clearly and
healthful. The goats can browse and
secure food in the rocky hills where
sheep will not venture, and they are
more hardy than sheep or cattle, be-
ing better able to stand the extremes
of heat and cold.
The flesh of the young Angora Is in
many respects superior to lamb, and Is
in demand in Kansas City, Chicago and
New York. In Kansas City, recently,
q lot of Angoras brought rs cents .
head more than any sheep on the mar
ket at that time, and ut no time has
there been enough goat flesh TO sup
ply the demand. The Perrin company
intends to establish dairy also
