THE guitar of Rosa Deane hung on

THE guitar of Rosa Deane hung on
i the wall of the ranch house be-
meath a saber and gun. The ranch
house was out on the Calico trail,
where the wheat land came to an alb
rupt end and the grass land began.
That IL, if you looked east heads of
yellow grain waved and tossed before
your eyes until the scene was a blurr
of gold; if you turned west there was
the range, the numbering cattle, the
cowboy, forerunner of all farmers
from Egyptian days to now. And on
the dividing line of wheat and cattle
stood the home of Rosa Deane, and
there hung her guitar for ranger or
farmer to twang.
Jerusalem" exclaimed Whalen, Of
the Buckle herd, the first time he saw
the instrument, chat is roarer.
Let me keerlessly draw few lines
from it's inverness"
Rosa Deane snapped her black eyes
and handed him the guitar. 1t was
old-very old. The inlaid mother of
pearl, the ivory keys, the fantastic
ally carved back, spoke of day
when the guitar was the sweet-voiced

THE ONLY TROUBLE.
His Arm Wasn't Long Enough to
Make Up for Deficiency
of His Eyes.

When Mr. Snow began to realize that he
was not quite young as he had been, the
truth had disquieting effect ON him, and
made him at times very irritable He knew
his weakness and regretted it, says Youths
Companion. IF | outlive my faculties" he
said one day to his wife, I'm afraid I'll be
the techiest man in this township"
His brother, who was bald at 80, put on
strong spectacles at 30, and lost his hearing
at so through the agency of fever, had no
sensitivness on any of these points, and was
a great trial to Mr.. Snow.
One day his brother happened to see Mr.
Snow in a cool corner of the barn, holding
the weekly paper as far away as he could get
it, and working his head from side to side
with equinted eyes to decipher the news.
Soho! Your sights begun to fail We at
last" said the visitor, bluntly. well,
!ain't surprising at your age"
Mr.. Snow turned on him an indignant
glare.
My eyesight's all right" he roared
The only trouble is my pesky arm isn't
long enough"

a BENEFIT TO FARMERS.
Means the Continuation of Low
Prices to Buyers.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result To farmers from the recent in
corporation of the International Har-
vester Company, which took over the
business of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered by large portion of
the farming community.
The economical necessity of a con-
solidation of the interests of manu-
. facturers and those of their farmer
one who understands the present sit
uation.
The increased and increasing cost
of material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence of ex-
IRENE and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several sell
ing agents-has made the business
Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the in
creasing of the prices of machines
or the reduction of the cost of man
ufacture and sales. The latter could
only be accomplished by concentrate
ing the business in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
jobbing operation, but a centering of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and
tangible assets. There is no stock
offered to the public, it having all
been subscribed and paid for by the
manufacturers and their associations.
The management of the Interna-

n. Ward, Paul D. Cravath.
The international Harvester Com
pany owns five of the largest har-
vester plants in existence, The Cham
pion, Deering, Mccormick, milwaukee,
and Plano-plants that have been pro
ducing nearly or quite 80 per cent.
of the harvesting machines of the
world.
1t also owns timber and coal 1andS
blast furnaces and steel plant; it
has new factory in process of con-
struction in Canada.
It is believed that the cost of pro-
ucing grain, grass and corn har-
vesting machines will be so reduced
that the present low prices can be-
continued, and that consequently the
. results cannot be otherwise than
beneficial to the farmer. To main
tain the present prices of these ma
chimes means to continue and i1.-
crease the development of the agri-
culture of the world, for no one
cause has contributed or can con-
tribute more to this development
than the cheapness of machines for
harvesting grains.

messenger OF all young love and
troubadors were lurking at every cor
her. But when. the strings were
touched-then-then Rosa Deane's
guitar gave out it's sound. Such
sweetness, such softness, such depth
of tone and feeling came forth that
the rudcst player was moved to gen
tleness.
THAT inster'ment,'' remarked
Whalen, "is sure human. I've hearn
'em all frum the Rio to the Muddy,
an they amt in it with this one
my grandfather gave it to nv
mother in CO., said Rosa Deane, "and
she gave it my brother in rs, and
when he died it went to another
brother, and then he died, and it
came to me. My grandfather was
killed in the Sioux massacre; my old
est brother was shot on the Little
Missouri; the other one died with
Custer. The gun and the saber be-
longed to them. When my mother
died father put them up there, and
hung the guitar underneath
Miss Rosy" said Whalen, respect
fully doffing his hat, I'm plain
critter and not easy with tongue
singing, but yo'r family sure hez he'd
tr'uble. The INSTRUMENT tells all
about it,
He slipped his fingers over the
strings and played-Spanish things,
dances, marches, all the musical IA
voriteS of the men that live by the
herds-things that have not only the
lullaby of the wind in them, but it's
sting and lash, when reused to fury;
the songs of the night, of the tram
ping cattle, the call of the wolf, the
meteor's flash, the whinny of the
guarding horse.
But no matter how gay the melody
he evoked, the tones which came
from the guitar always carried
minor sadness, something that
seemed as if it had a consciousness
of it's own. Just as there is always
in the voice of a woman who has
suffered much and long a suggestion
of signs and tears. Have you ever
analysed the laugh of a woman who
has borne the cross?
Whalen put the guitar back in it's
place and passed on his way. Rosa
Deane took up her Homework again,
cumming the tunes he had left in her
memory. She had heard much of
Whalen. Her father had said he was
the widest yet best cattleman in the
country. There was a story that he
had killed so many men in the south
ern country he bad been forced to
come north, and that he lived in con-
start apprehension of pursuit by
avenging friends of his victims.
STILL" said Deane, 81 understand
he never shot until he was attacked,
and that the people he put out of the
way ought to have died long before.
He's mighty quick with a gun and
good to everybody when the liquors
out of him. He has money, too
plenty of it"
Whalen returned to the Deane home
often after his first call. He never
entered the ranch house that he did
not take down the guitar and play.
He would sit for an hour in the door
way, enc eye on the instrument, one
ON Rosa Deane. One day, after he

The Man and His Theory.

Once upon a time theorist believed that
he had a plan for making large profits in a
short time on a small investment. He took
a few friends and their money into his con-
6dence and explained his theory to them.
Their joint fortunes went into pool that
was to pay 400 per cent. profit in three
months.
One day there came a report that startled
the stockholders. Their theory of profits
had gone to smash, carrying their money
with it, and hurting them all into bank
ruptcy.
