PROSPERED AS A FARMER.
Young Welshman's Success in the
State of Nebraska.

Howell Rees, young Welshman,
reached Omaha nineteen years ago with
Just $40 in his pocket, and absolutely no
prospects or any idea of what he was to
do to earn livelihood for himself. A
few days ago he sold trainload of cattle
In the Omaha stock market for 81 per
100, and, when commenting upon his sue
cess in farming, he remarked that those
same cattle he bought in Omaha less
than a year ago for $3.50 per 100, ana
that he considered his profits very fine.
He now owns 500 acres of good farm
land near Pilger, Neb., and only two
weeks ago he was offered $65 an acre for
it, or an aggregate of $50, 300. 1t must
be admitted that this IS rather a good
showing for young man to make in
nineteen years on a farm. and that ed

on the Omaha market, and he says that
next year his sales will double that. He
says any farmer can make money, and
big money at that, raising stock if he
only shows little judgment and COM
mon sense. He first ranges his cattle
until he gets them in good condition. and
then he puts them in the feed lots Some
stock raisers feed their cattle ear corn
or shelled corn. but he had a different
system. He grinds his corn and makes
fodder combination of his own. by mix
ing in other grain and adding a certain
amount of stock food that he buys in ton
lots. Il never buy anything but good
cattle. even if they do cost me a little
more money. 1t does not pay to handle
half-starved, thin stuff of an inferior
grade. Scrub cattle have no place Von

breed the sooner they will ripen for the
market. and the more money they will
make for the owner. l always try to

SCOTCH GIRLS TRIUMPH.
Miss Leslie Undertakes Solos in
Messiah" Without Moments
Preparation.

New York, Jan. IA situation unique
in the musical world of New York and
Europe has suddenly brought to light
new operate star in the charming per-
sonality of Miss Louise Mackay Leslie.
At the recent annual performance
of Handefs Messiah" given by the Ora
torio society in Carnegie hall, Miss Les
lie achieved what has never been done
before at public performance OF the
Immortal oratorio, when she sang the
, chief soprano solos of the remarkably
difficult score, not only without a single
rehearsal. but without ten minutes no.
tice. Miss Sara Anderson and Miss Pal
| liser the soprano soloists engaged for the
occasion. sent word at the last minute
that they had colds and could not sing
Until 1t was all but time for the first so
prano solo, however, it was thought that
Miss Anderson was there. But she was
not
Walter Damroscb. who was conduct
ing, was at his wits ends as to what to
do. The audience felt the tensity of the
atmosphere. For a moment it looked as
If the performance would nave to 90 on
without soprano solos. Suddenly Mr..
Damrosch bethought himself Of Mrs
Mary A. Skinner. the well-known vocal
instructor, whose studio is in Carnegie
hall. Mrs. Skinner, when besieged for
assistance, declared she had but one pu-
pill, Miss Leslie, who had studied the
role. and that she was at that moment
in the audience. Miss Leslie was found
and rushed behind the scenes. There
was not a moment to lose.
Suddenly Mr.. Damrosch looked up and
saw slight, girlish figure in simple
street costume standing on the big stage
awaiting his signal. Mr.. DamroSch de-
clares that he almost tainted with ap-
prehensiye surprise. Nevertheless, he
began the introduction to the aria:
''There were Shepherds Abiding in the
Fields. He was rewarded by the
sound of the clear, flexible soprano voice
of marvellous range, rising full and true
above the crash or orchestration.
When Miss Leslie sang the last note
the house rose TO her. She received an
ovation the like of which was never
triumph followed another, until Il Know
that My Redeemer Liyeth," when it
seemed as if the applause would never
cease.
Miss Leslie. simple Scotch Canadian
girl, young. pretty and modest, was as
much surprised as the great audience.
She has lived in New York but few
vocal music under Mrs. SINNERS compe-
tent instruction. Mr.. Damrosch said
| after the performance:
ITO my knowledge it is the most Won
derful thing of its kind ever done. No
| one ever did such thing before. Miss
Leslie should 90 upon the operate stage
at once"
Andrew Carnegie who. with his fami-
| ly, occupied his usual box, was profuse
in his expressions of appreciative delight.
When told that she was n Scotch girl he
expressed a desire to meet his little
countrywoman.
Miss Leslie's present plans are to study
| in New York until June, when Mrs
| Skinner will take her to Paris to have
her voice tested by eminent grand opera
! critics Then she will study abroad dur
! ing the summer. and go upon the operate
stage in the fall.

PROFITS IN RAISING TREES.
Forestry Experts Point to the Tele-
graph and Crose-Tie Market.

1t has been estimated that the tele-
graph lines of the country require nearly
100000 new poles every year. The cost
of these is more than $1.000.G00
1t is also estimated that there are more
than 620.O00.OO0 cross-ties in use by the
railroads and that 100000 ties are re-
quired every year for renewals.
The telephone and light companies use
nearly as many poles as the telegraph
companies, and the street car systems
of the cities use nearly as many cross
ties as the steam railroads.

the need of raising plantations of Wood
to supply these needs Of telegraph, teie

such work is profitable.

gone up nearly 80 per cent. in the last ten
years. j. Hope Sutor of the Ohio "
Little kanawha railroad, an expert on

properly seasoning and piling, the use OF
the tie plate, suitable ballast and perfecr
drainage, and incidentally climatic condl-
tions, no serious consideration OF the fu-
