OLD WAY THE BETTER WAY.

If. as many assert, the big trusts and
combinations of manufacturers and
packing houses can not be controlled
by law, there is way by which one
class, the farmers, can, in particular,
at least make them partially inocuous.
Let every farmer raise each year
enough pork for his own use with
some to spare for his home market)
put up in first-class condition.
Hams and bacon may be easily
cured and smoked at home, and dry
salt or brine picked pork, is not hard
to make.
1t is high time for the farmers of the
southwest to quit sending their good,
hard-earned money to the packing
houses, two thousand miles away. for
bacon, hams and lard.
Western people are progressive, and
in their desire to go forward have
rapidly, of late years, drifted away
from the primitive. independent meth
DDS and have come to depend on the
big concerns for almost everything
they require. In some respects this
is advantageous, but in the matter of
food supply it is proving to be costly
departure.

From the statements of President
Baer Of the Reading railroad and Pres
ident Morgan of the Erie railroad to
President Roosevelt, at their confer
ence at Washington, opposing Presi-
dent Mitchell's offer to abide by any
decision made by commission ap-
pointed by Roosevelt to settle the
strike question, it is plainly evident
that the coal barons are hiding behind
the lawless acts of individual miners
to destroy the Miners Union.

One Brick Short.

Richard NJ Hunt, the architect, used
to relate that in his younger days,
while supervising the erection of q
brick building, recent arrival from
Cork applied for job and was en-
ployed as a hodcarrier after being in
structed that he must always carry up
fourteen bricks in his hod. One morn
ing the supply of bricks ran out, and,
do his best, the new man could find
but thirteen to put in his hod. In an
swer to loud yell from the street one
of the masons on the sixth story
shrieked down:
What do you want?'
"T'row me down wan brick" said
Pat, pointing to his hod. Ito make me

POEM BY sApPHo.
Manuscript Dates from sixth or Perhaps
the Seventh Century.

the Seventh Century.
DR.. Schubart. the assistant director
of the Psychological department of the
Royal Museum in Berlin, has made an
important discovery. In examining
fragments of old books and manu-
scripts recently acquired by the mu-
scum he found a torn and badly
crumpled piece of parchment, which
proved to be a fragment of a parch-
ment roll containing poems from the
fifth book Of Sappho. The manuscript
dates from the sixth or perhaps the
seventh century, which is not surpris-
ing, as it is known that many of Sap
pho's poems had been preserved until
that time. 1t is generally believed that
the poems were lost during the Ara
bian invasion of Europe.
The fragment, given in free transla.
ton, but preserving the meter, reads
as follows:
when she now,
Among Lydia's women appears,
IT'S like unto the full moon
Rising serenely in the evening sky.
It outshines
The most brilliant stars: it casts
Over the mirror-like sea
And meadows, in flowers clad.
Magic light.
Nature is bedecked with dew;
Sparkling are the roses,
Dainty flowers, and bushy herbs."'

Danger Of Chin.,s Aw.h..lnx.

Since the beginning Of the nine
teenth century the Russian govern
ment has been exceedingly cautious in
its relations with China, realizing
what danger would arise II the Chi
nese should adopt the western mill
tary system. That most conservative
paper, Grashdanin, published the opin-
ion Of q Russian general who has re-
turned from the latest China campaign,
which strikinglys confirms the old
traditions. 'If we would avoid the
greatest disaster In the far east" he
says, I'VE should by all means and
with all our strength and will gain the
confidence and love Of China" At the
same time reports from the Amur
province tell Of Russia's preparations
for increasing its military forces on
the Chinese frontier and the Pacific
coast.

people, and Burke took just enough
to buy an emigrant ticket west.
For the first two years he worked
as a cowboy on an exposed ranch,
rounding up cattle and chasing In
dams and being chased by them In
return, having encounters with wild
beasts and wilder men, and spending
long weeks and months out on the
open prairies with nothing but wild
nature ard his own thoughts. He
grew bronzed and bearded and his eyes
and brain became alert and discrimi-
mating from his perilous surroundings.
He lost his dif1dent manner, and life
among the unruly cattle made his
voice strong and decisive.
The third year he took the money
he mad saved and bought a few head
Of cattle, and began ranching 1t on his
own account. He vas almost continu-
ally in the saddle now, protecting and
caring for his stock and looking for
fresh grazing lands. Up under the
side of a mountain he built a small
cabin; another year he would enlarge
it, and-perhaps-send for Edith.
Then came the long, terrible winter
which devastated the whole Northwest.
Cattle were lost by the hundreds of
thousands, and Burke was among the
first to suffer. His grazing land was
regularly exposed and the first heavy
snowfall completely blockaded the lit
tie valley from the outside world. AT
first he was tdazed by the blow-two
years lost, and Edith back yonder
waiting for him!
In anticipation of the long winter
evenings he had brought paper and
ink. and now, in his despair, he turned
to them for forgetfulness. At first III
worked feverishly, but as he wrote his
brain became clearer and gradually
focused itself upon one central idea.
At the end Of a week he destroyed
what he had written. and commenced
again, writing slowly and carefully
and becoming more and interest
ed az he proceeded.
fortunately he had plenty Of pro-
visions. and now and then was able to
capture small game near the cabin.
Snow succeeded snow. and billiards
followed close in the wake OF each
other. It was April before he could
leave the valley, but by that time the
novel was finished.
He did not expect much from 1t when
he sent it of; his old experience pre-
Guided that. But he knew the novel

this number there will be disposed of
