The Beef Trust.

The following is taken from

price of an article of diet of prime
necessity to -, 900, 900 people by
onc-tourth is simply brutal. 1t
means that millions of people will
have to 90 without meat II Il
trust 50 enormous in its operation
and 50 ahOvcbOard in its rohbcrlrS
cannot be- thrOttled, we had rs well
quit iabbcring about trusts and

modern monsters.
And this rise in price of meat
does no body amy good except the
trust. Farmers and stock raiScrs
are not the gamers bV one penny.

MoCkiNG BIRDS IN DANGER.
Beautiful Songsters Threatened with
Extinction by Bird Fanciers.

Beautiful Songsters Threatened with
Extinction by Bird Fanciers.
The influence of the New Orleans
bird fanciers has prevented the Loui-
siana Legislature from passing law
for the protection Of birds. One re-
suit of this is to increase the danger
Of the determination of the hooking
bird In Louisiana, Audubons State.
The hooking birds were once the
most abundant of all birds in Louisi-
ana. The Legislature even proposed to
substitute them as the State bird for
the pelican. But in the past thirty
years the bird has been slaughtered as
though the aim and purpose of the PEG
pie were to get rid Of 1t.
The slaughter began In 1865, when
the negroes first owned shotguns. The
hooking birds, because Of years OF
safety, were the tamest of birds, and
therefore the most easily killed. Thou
sands were slaughtered to make pot
pies for the negroes of the quarters.
The negro hunters have been followed
by the bird fanciers, who will probably
succeed in extinguishing all song birds
or birds of bright plumage in the State.
They want live hooking birds to sell.
1t Is said that 10000 hooking birds and
other song birds are shipped from New
Orleans each year, most of them going
to Europe, and to Germany in partic
ular.
The loss In birds Is much heavier
than this. 1t Is probable that four or
FIVE are caught for every one exported.
The mocking birds do not take to
captivity, and prove very delicate cage
birds, although strong and vigorous
when at large. Like the Central Amer
lean quetzal, the old birds pine in cap
tivity and soon die.
The mortality is heavy among the
young birds. 1t Is still a popular be-
lief in Louisiana that the parents of
young birds, preferrng to see their off.
spring dead rather than in captivity.
poison them when they find them
Gagged, and it Is fact that the older
birds do gather around the cage of the
young captive and offer it food.
SO rare has the hooking bird become
through these prosecutions that one
can travel year after year through the
woods and never hear it sing save in
captivity.

counter with ferocious bulldog, and
he seemed a veteran indeed.
But all his blemishes were forgotten
when he turned his great brown eyes
upon you. 1t gave you the impression
that there was an almost human mind
behind them.
In a very short time Jack won our
confidence and affection. At night he
was the faithful guardian of the ranch.
No wolf could come near but Jacks pc
cullar howl announced the fact.
Then one of us would take out the
lighted lantern and suspend it from a
pole near the corral gate. This always
proved an effectual safeguard.
BY day the dog was the constant
companion of the one who watched
the sheep.
Watching the sheep on those great
treeless plains, unbroken except by an
occasional deep ravine or rocky can
yon. gave an excellent opportunity for
reading or study.
We would range the sheep from the
corral In whatever direction our pleas
IRE might dictate, and then, seating
ourselves upon a stony knoll or in the
shelter Of a friendly bank, where we
could look across the prairie for
miles, we would watch the sheep as
they cropped the short crisp buffalo
grass.
At such times Jack would lie near
us and indulge in brief "cat maps" lift
Ing his head occasionally and scanning
the scene intenty, as If to say: you
see. ] never forget my flock"
When. in his Judgment, the sheep had
fed to the limit of their range, he
would get up and .trot brlskly toward
them. So well trained had the sheep
become that when they saw him ap.
proach the entire band would turn and
begin to feed toward us. Then he
would trot back. and. with a satisfied
yawn. stretch himself out for another
nap. Jack was especially fond Of the
young lambs. He was very careful and
gentle with them.
| Sometimes the lambs would become
SO tired from following the large
sheep that they would lie down quite
exhausted Then Jack would so to
them, and, thrusting his long nose un-
derneath their little woolly bodies, gen.
thy lift them to their feet and push
them forward in a most encouraging
and comical manner

Telegraph Company for all points In
the United States. A uniform rate Of
81 word will be charged for messages
from San Francisco to Manila and
China
The first section of the cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu is being
manufactured by the India Rubber
Gutta Percha Telegraph Works Com
pany, Ltd, London, England. The
length Is about 2,413 miles
Laying the Cable.
The cattleshlp Silvertown, owned by
the manufacturers, will convey this
section of the cable from London to
the Pacific coast via Cape Horn, where
she will proceed with the laying opera
lions. 1t is expected to complete the
entire cable from San Francisco TO Ma
Mia by January. 1905.
The laying of the new cable will in
yolve searching ocean depths to posi-
bly, as far as three miles. While the
government work was being carried
on In the Philippines the greatest depth
reached was one and an eighth miles
The estimate Is that depth of at
least three miles will be reached In GOV
ering the Pacific ocean.
The operation of laying so many
thousand miles Of cable will necessar-
fly involve great deal of skill. but
the difficulties which those who laid
the Atlantic cables encountered have
passed away, those having charge of
the present work being able to carry
cut all details. The delicate and par
ticular work, however, will be the land
ing Of the cable at Its objective point
at Manila. The shore end conveyed by
the Silvertown to this point Will be
lifted gently from the ship toward the
land, where 1t will be placed in Il deep
trench. through which 1t will be con
veyed to Its final land communications,
thence connecting with the cable TO
Hong Kong
The death of John w Mackay called
attention to cablelaying projects in
the Pacific. 1t Is stated that the plans
contemplated by his company will he
pushed forward with all possible dis
patch. The project has been delayed
by the failure of the government TO
furnish the company with soundings
taken in the PacGc. It Is expected that
these soundings will soon be furnished
and that the work will then be pushed
to completion. Possession of the Philip
pines has made the necessity Of a Pa
ciilc cable very apparent.

If lamb were unable to walk when
thus assisted, Jack would gravely
stand over 1t; nor would he leave the
little creature until the herdey had
taken it into his arms.
One of his favorite diversions vas a
frolic with the lambs. Placing himself
In front of a number of them. he
stretched full length on the ground,
with his nose between his paMs, look
Ing as wise as fox. The lambs. seem
ing to accept the challenge, ran toward
him in single file, each one lexping high
in the air and bounding gracefully over
him. Lying perfectly motienless. with
his eyes half closed, until perhaps a
score had gone over, he suddenly rose
to his feet and sent them all scamper-
ing away, apparently mush frightened;
but probably the very hext day the
game would be repeated
1t was a constant wonIer to us how
the lambs could be on such intimate
terms with the dog, ind how they
knew his meaning chen he invited
them to play.
Although he was very gentle with
the flock when they obeyed him, woe
to the unfortunate sheep that disputed
his authority,
When necessary to use force he
showed them with his nose or head. |
never saw him bite the sheep but
once
One evening when Jack WAS driving
the dock into the corral two of the
sheep, unobSeryed by him, waited be-
hind the Others lust as he was driv-
ing the last of the flock these two
suddenly became conscious that they
were likely TO be left out and started
pell-mell for the gate.
Jack, busily engaged with the 9th
ers, did not notice them, nor did they,
in their sudden fright, observe him un-
ill the foremost ran against him.
Over and over rolled the dog and the
sheep To add to their confusion, the
last sheep tumbled over them both.
This was too much for Jack. His
dignity had been insulted He pounced
upon the now terrified sheep and gave
each savage shake that sent them
scurrying into the corral, while the
dog, as If ashamed of his display of
temper, with dropping tail and hang
ing head, skunk into the house.
Our time was passing pleasantly,
when an event occurred which broke
in rudely upon our quiet life and
threatened to wreck our fortunes.
For some time it had been rumored
that an outbreak Of the Indians on
the reservation was likely TO occur,
and we had been advised by many to
seek safety in the neighboring town.
For several days the wagons of the
settlers passed our ranch, bearing their
families to place of safety.
We hesitated to follow their exam
pie. 1t seemed probable that the In

IN A DRESS SUIT CASE.
Some Carpenters Now Carry Kits OF
Tools About in Style.

TOOLS ADOut IN style.
Without being In the least bit
ashamed of his trade, whatever it may
be- the modern mechanic, when he has
occasion to go about the city to and
from job carrying kit of tools, Is
very likely to carry 1t In manner less
conspicuous than formerly. His garb,
also, unless he is engaged in some
trade that leaves Its mark on ones
clothes. is just like that of the major
ity of the men he meets.
So there was met the other day, CO.
ing back to the shop, apparently
from some job that he had been at
work on somewhere, carpenter. who
might have been thought to be some
body going travelling, IL it had not been
for the end of saw sticking out of
one end of his dress suit case
A million years ago, more or less
when a carpenter went anywhere in
the city. he carried his tools In an
open box, having handle at the top
Of lengthwise middle partition In it,
this box being much like an exaggerat-
ed knife tray. One end of the long rip
saw that is an inevitable part of the
carpenters kit projected beyond the
end of the box. resting in a slit cut
there to receive It,
But this up-to-date carpenter had ey-
erything placed in a narrow and more
convenient compass. In dress suit
case; and not only out of the way. but
out of sight, all but about a foot of the
rip saw, which projected from one end
of the case, through slit made for 1t.
1t did seem at first glance a little
odd, no doubt to see man carrying a
suit case with saw sticking out Of
one end; but there Is no manner of
doubt all the same that this is the very
latest and most strictly up-to-date
method of carrying kit of carpenters
tools.-New York Sun.

OUR AMERICAN QUEEN.

She seeks her garden in the morn.
And plans and leyes with care;
A bingham bonnet crowns her head
And hides her golden hair.
She's not afraid to soil her hands;
She's busy as a bee
The spade she handles with much skllli
The queen of spades is she.
And later on the links she's found,
With skirt to match her hose
Just note the color of her cheeks,
And watch her graceful pose
The caddy hands her out her club,
And then he makes the tee
She drives. and you conclude at once
The queen OF clubs is she.
The afternoon will find her out
To see a game of ball;
She knows the fine plays wheh 1ne9 re
made
And does applaud them all.
She's pleased of course when her boys
win,
And claps her hands with glee;
You cannot lose her on the feld-
A diamond queen is She
At night you see her at the dnnee'
Bewidering and sweet,
A score of men about her would
DO homage at her feet;
She smiles, and all the world Smiles too.
SO II appears to me,
With one accord we do proclaim,
The queen Of hearts is she.
