Not for Big CattIemen.

II has been stated that this agitation Is
that of the large cattle grower only. who
is seeking to force out the small cattlemen,
but this statement is not true and Is not
supported by the conditions and the true
large cattleman could AFFORD his range
riders and pursue the old-time roundup,
with his mess wagon and branding, outht,
the little fellows or small cattlemen, who
could not afford so expensive a method OF
looking after his stock, as the returns from
his small herd would not warrant the eN-
pense. Besides. the small cattleman must
borrow the money for his business from
his home bank, which will not make the
being gradually ruined. The statement that
this Is the move OF the large cattlemen is
not true, as II is the small stock grower
vitality interested. He knows that should
the fences be entirely removed it means
his retirement from the business.
1t is proposed by the new irrigation law
to put farmers In the valleys that are
susceptible Of irrigation in the west, and
OF the products OF their farms and rough
feed II they cannot sell II to their near
neighbor, the cattleman2 Increased farm
the business of the stock grower, as the
distance OF the farmer from the markets
OF the east Is such that unless his products
can be consumed at home the cost OF
Transportation would be qua to their
value at the market.
The eastern press is also mistaken In it's
suggestions that the, present u~noccupied
government lands OF the, west possess great
value. DR.. Peters, state veterinarian OF the
University OF Nebraska, whose knowledge
on the subject has been acquired by travel
and actual experience in the west, made
the statement at a recent cattle convention
that The natural grasses of the west must
be protected. and that the range lands
should not Craze more than one COW to
twenty-five acres of land. which usage
would make the land worth not to exceed
50 cents per acre.
The facts are that the value OF these
lands has been mistudged. and all that
that congress send a fair and unbiased
commission to inve Nigate their values, de-
termine their ~adaptability and ascertain
that they are not agricultural lands and
the people here will be satisfied with their
solution OF this question.

JE.recliag Chinese.

A typical scene i'll Manchurian &.
lase is thu; described by correspond
cnt Of the London News:
THAT afternoon we pulled up near
three shantics on woodside. and Il
gang of Chinese, all squa billing an!
making noises like dogs growing ovei
bcnes, fought with one another to ge,
on a platform where a boiler was
chained. There was q scuffle. Ono
Chinese was pushed backward and
fell. His head hit the metal and
cracked like q nut. He gave a wrigglc
and died. The Russians who saw the
accident We're affected. The Chinese
laughed. He lay for an hour in the
sun until | undid his sleeping lug and
spread it over his face. He was soon
forgotten. a Chinese threw some hot
water over a growing dog and made
it howl. At this there were shriei.s of
mirth
'The engine puffed and groaned and
jorked the wagons into progress. The
last | saw of this spot was two China
men pitching mud at thc same dog to
keep it from shifting at the body OF the
dead"

Ter,ueranent and Exercise.

Careful tests and observations made
at the Yale psychological laboratory
have demonstrated the importance of
studying individual temperament be-
fore prescribing a system Of physical
exercise. a nervous temperament, for
example, requires different treatment
from that required by a phlegmatic
temperament, without regard to the
physical condition of the subject.
The mental factors are more ncces
sary than tho muscular in the develop
mant Of strength. a nervous person
should never be required to take heavy
exercise. A phlegnatic person, on the
contrary. requires it. The phlegmatic
temperament Indicates reserve energy
in both muscles and nerve cells, whiie

serve power, but greater ability to use

London RA 1t Wus.

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates
makes the statement that the old name
of the city Of London was written
Lynden or Ilvndin. meaning "the cit;
on the lake. An old tradition gives
us to understand that London was
founded by Brute, a descendant OF
Eneas. and called New Troy or Troy
novant until the time OF Lud. who sur
rounded tie town with walls and nam
I'd it Caer l. I'd. or Lud's town. This
latter is probably the correct version of
the story. if for no other reason be-
cause it is an easy matter to detect
similarity be. ween the expression Luds
town and J ndon. 1t is claimed by
some writer's that there was a city on
the same spot l.107 years Il. G.. and it
is known that the Romans founded a
city there called Lon1nium a. d. G1.

When Silk LnS Precious.

Common as is silk nowadays. in ear
licr times it was 4 most precious ma
terial. When it was first brought into
Euro0e, silk commanded three times
it's weight in gold, and so valuable was
it decMcd that in the reign Of Tiberius
n law was passed forbidG.ng it to all
save noble ladies and prohibiting men
from wearing it Oh the ground Of its
efTcm;nacy. So unusual was it cven
200 years later cor Il man to wear SILK
that c@ery historian Of the time Of
Heliogu.alls noted the fact that that
cmpt ror had Il silk gown, For ages it
continued at an abnormally high price.

send to King OfIa Of Mercia no more

Sense In Proverbs.

There is deal of sound sense in the
proverbs Of a nation Earl Russell dc.
fined a proyerb as being the wit of one
man and the wisdom of many, and the
aptness of this is we'll shown in the
following from the Spanish, "Since we
cannot get what we like, let us like
what we get" The thought is as old
as the race Of mankind. but ages pass
ed before one man hit upon the happy
expression of It. This saying from the
Chinese is whole homily OH pride III
one sentence, "When tree is blown
down, it shows that the branches are
longer than the roots"
For a concise expression of the lofty
aspirations Of youth and the sober
achievements of ripper years take this
sentence from Henry D. Thoreau. "Thc
youth gets together his materials q
build bridge to the moon, or per'
chance palace or temple on the earth.
and at length the middle aged man con.
cludes to build woodshed with them. "

What the TruMe Is.

The ancient Romans, at whose sump-
tuous banquets trutfles played an i'm
portant role, supposed that their ex-
istence was one Of the material results
of thunder. More modern botanists
have classed it as a species Of mush-
room, but it can scarcely be termed
such. To be exact, the truffle is a tu-
berculous fungus. a sort Of morbid ex-
travasation of vegetable sugars anal
Ogous to oak balls or nutgalls and
doubtless originating, as these latter,
from the sting of an insect.

Did Not Know What Was Going On


There is fact about the French rev.
olution more wonderful in its way than
any which can be discovered in old
newspapers. 1t is The fact, gathered
from private letters of the period, that
in those stirring times, when all the
world was ringing With the events in
Paris. there We're actually people in
that city living in absolute ignorance
Of the horrors around them. There
was no reign of terror for them. They
lived ve:itah!a recluscs in their quiet
suburban houses. hearing nothing,
reading nothing of the turmoil which
startled and terrified the nations. One
wonders much what manner of people
those oysterlike folks might be. Moth
ing sounds more Incredible today. Yet
there are many things in history not
half SO we'll authenticated, though his
tory is curiously silent on SO strange a
circumstance.
