Gray gun-horses in the landau
And the Sergeant is married to a"
-Kipling.
Her name was Ethel Genevieve
Wynne but her friends had shortened
it to ."Vieve." 1t seemed to suit her.
She was of an exquisite sweet figure.
full without fatness, slender without
scragginess, and her hand and fore
arm and her foot and the ankle above
it might have served as models to
any man used to putting his dreams
into marble Golden hair crowned
her small, shapely head, blue eyes
looked from under level brows, and
her cheeks were the hue of the sun
kissed side of the peach Leroy Hen
tlryx saw her and his heart and soul
went out to her and were not in his
keeping.
He was a poet, young, ardent, hon
est, gifted and poor. He looked at
the world with fresh eyes and
thought himself rich because his
wants were few; he could not con-
ceive of a gentleman, or gentlewoman
who cared for money. His birth
gave him entry to what are called our
upper circles, though why upper,
since they do not contain more wit or
Inanliness or kindliness or suavity
t. an our other circles, no man can
say.
His life story began on the upper
Hudson. There is a summering place
there small enough and exclusive
enough to warrant high prices and
poor accommodations. Not more than
a dozen guests were in the hotel when
he reached it. In that kind of hos
tclry the fact that you have register
ed at all is warrant OF your social
standing, and everybody knows every
body else as a matter of course. That
night Hendryx dreamed of Vieve's
eyes; next morning he sailed with her
over a still reach of the river.
She found it pleasant enough
watching the light of worship in his
dark eyes. He talked with a poets
tenderness and passion; she did not
understand all that he said; she did
not appreciate much of it; she was of
the world and her mother was
schemer; they were not rich, and the
girl was in the market as much as
if she had stood naked upon a block
in Stamboul to be knocked down to
tie highest bidding Pasha; this had
been drilled into her from her four
teenth year; she accepted her destiny
complacently; that destiny was to
make a good match She was vir-
tuous. or thought she was, and shall
low. No one had ever told her that
when she married a man for his
money she would sell herself. so she
had not considered this view of it.
She had plenty OF clothes and was
happy in a light way. She was only
twenty and had time enough in which
to marry well; meanwhile she wished
to enjoy herself, and Hendryx was
about the only eligible in Ravens
Nest hotel. The mother looked
askance at the intimacy, but said
nothing; she had learned in two sea-
sons to trust her daughter.
1t is an old and common story and
hardly worth the telling. 1t happened
yesterday; it happens to-day, it will
happen to-morrow-the man, earnest
and loyal, believing in himself and

Dressed in moonlight dreams and dew,

Long ago, long ago,
When the wind was on the river.
Where the lights and shadows shiver.
And the streets were all aglow-
In the gaudy, gas-lit street
We two parted, sweet, my sweet.
And the crowds went to and fro,
And your veil was wet with tears
For the inevitable years
Long ago, my last sweetheart
Long ago!

An Education in Live Stock Affairs.
1t is plainly evident in the prepara-
tions for the third International Live
Stock Exposition, to be held in Chica-
go Nov. %, to Dec 6, inclusive, that
the coming event will not only be the
largest, but unquestionably the most
complete and instructive exhibit of
live stock ever brought together in the
world. Actual results of this great
educational movement will be practi-
cally and conclusively shown, and the
educational influence and value is
readily determined in the magnificent
display in every class and department,
with the competitive events bringing
forth the best efforts of the breeder
and the modern live stock grower
From the Bonn, Rhein agricultural
college of Germany, body of students
VIII come, accompanied by members OF
the faculty. All the leading agricul-
tural colleges and other American In
stitutions of learning have made exten-
sive preparation for large representa-
tion, and this feature of the exposition
has become firmly established. In each
class, embracing every recognized kind
and breed, there will be at least a one
third increase over last year. This
brings the highest types and every dis
tinctive feature in the carefully bred
animal and represents the prize win
ners of the expositions during the
year in all parts of the country and
the best product of the farm and the
range. The hog and sheep exhibits

distinct and free from possibility OF
contagion, and accessible direct from
the cars, obviating the cumbersome re-
quirement of a wagon haul. In addi-
ton to the regular daily program or
ring judging and prize awarding and
important ceremonies in the evening,
there will be a special entertainment
arranged for each evening, and extern
sive preparations are being made Tor
the comfort and entertainment OF all
visitors to the greatest live stock ex-
hibition ever known.

Change in Breed Requirements

A Change in Breed REQUIREMENTS
w. S. Van Natta: Like every other,
the cattle industry in the past forty
years has undergone a great cnange,
not only in the method of handling ana
distributing the product, but in the
type, and method of treatment on the
farms Years ago, when cattle roamed
at will over unfenced public lands.
living largely on grass and cheap
forage, when land and all feed stuns.
as well as the cattle, were much cheap
er than now, producers kept ciesssss o.
cattle that were long-legged, coarse
boned, and f1at-ribbed, maturing at
from three and half to five years old.
No one thought of putting cattle in the
fattening lot until they were over three
years old; but as the public land be-
came fenced, and the value of all feed
stuff as we'll as land increased, and
producers were confined to their own
farms, it was found that If class of
cattle could be produced that would
mature and go to market year young
er, thus clipping off a years keep, it
would be a great saving of expense. 1t
was also ascertained that a more COM
pact, lighter class of cattle fatted on
much less grain and required less time
to fatten; that they had more flesh and
less tallow; that in addition to the in
creased quantity of grain required to
mature the leggy, coarse cattle, owing
to their formation, instead of increas-
ing in flesh they put on only fat, and
a large portion of that internally; that
the longer time they were fed the
smaller the per cent of gain; and that
it was highly important to the pro-
ducer, as well as to the consumer, to
get class of cattle more compact, that
would fatten at an earlier age on less
feed, would put on more flesh and less
taIlow, and that were uniform in con-
formation and early-fattening quail
ties. In response to such a demand,
Hereford cattle became popular
