Oregon Man Makes Another Dance a
Jig to the Tune of "a SharpshOOter.
A weird story of the Jesse James
stripe comes from the Starkey prairie
country. far southeast of Portland,
Ore. in little agricultural valley in
the Blue Mountains. 1t tells of a Star
key prairie resident compelled to dance
a clog in the darkness at the point Of
the cleaning barrel of a neighbOr's re.
volver while stimulated constantly to
to greater effort by the whistle of bull
lets past his ears and about his feet.
There has been ill-feeing for several
weeks on Starkey prairie over n series
of dog-killngs. Neighbors suspected
each other of the poisOnings and a lot
of bad blood was engendered. Little
meannesses began to be practiced. the
latest of which was to tie bulldog OF
pronounced vicious tendencies on q
Starkey prairie bridge after dark. This
was designed to scare young team Of
horses.
1t was a settler named X. Wilkinson
who fell into the trap. Wilkinson
bulldog began to operate, with the re-
suit that he nearly had serious trouble
with his colts. Wilkinson settled in his
mind the author of the trick Immediate
ly and drove straight to the house OF
Henry Bean. Bean. he thought. was
the transgressor.
Calling Bean to the door. Wilkinson
had him cnvnro6 hnfnvn hn "A
cape. and clog dance was ordered.
The eloquence of the sixshooer in
duced compliance and the suspected
bulldog operator began awkwardly to
shuttle. Faster" ordered Wilkinson,
and as bullet sang startlingly near
the feet commonly more familiar with
the road behind the pillow than the
dance hall floor. they responded crude

with the admOnton to keep his bull
dog at home.
Then he compelled him. at the pistols
point. to come clear to Wilkinsons
home. The method OF transportation
was not stated, but 1t is said Bean had
to continue dancing at intervals clear
across the prairie. At Wilkinson's place
he was forced TO sign a note making
over $75 to Wilkinson in this deal.
Then Bean was released altogether.

treatment. He is not such pistol artist

Consumption Can BE Cured.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as a benefit to persons at
fected with any chest complaint.
The recommendation is made because
in all cases of lung trouble it is impor-
tant for the sufferer to indulge in eXer-
else by which the chest is in part filled
by and emptied Of air. for the exercise
is strengthening to the throat, lungs
and muscles of the chest. Reading
aloud can be practiced by all, and can
be pleasure and profit to both reader
and hearers. In this treatment it is
recommended that the reading be delib-
crate. without being allowed to drag,
that the enunciation be clear. the body
be held in an easy. unstrained. upright
position, so that the chest shall have
free play, and that the breathing be rs
deep as possible, without undue effort.

CATTuE-RANCHiNG TO-DAY.
Outlook Brighter than 1t Has Been in
Ten Years.


Ten Years.
No phase of agricultural life any
where. except perhaps in Australia, has
ever possessed the romantic and adven-
turous charm of American cattle ranch
ing. When out beyond the Platte and
down toward the Rio Grande and west
ward into New Mexico and Arizona,
the great plains We're open and the
grass of Uncle Sam as free as air. men
with ginger in them could lay the
foundations of fortunes with no other
capital than a pony, COW saddle. a
rope and IA branding iron. They re-
quired no land. and seldom cared for
more than Il few acres for the ranch
house and a place to keep the ''chuck
wagon" and other inanimate parts Of
the outfit" If they chose, they could
range an area as wide as France The
Americans took the business from the
MeXicans and extended it northward
to Wyoming. There was nothing to
prevent. In that day the cowboy told
the visiting Englshman:
This is Gods country. and there
ain t no fences.
Those times are going. or have al
ready gone. Barbed wire and the settler
have changed it all. The few acres that
suficed for the clubhouse and saddle
room are not enough where free graz
ing is passing away. The cattle king
must own his grazing ground and the
! cowboy has been tanned into member
! of the fences he once despiScd. The
packing industry has gone out toward
the source of supply to Omaha and
| Kansas City and other far Western
! towns. Railroads have done away with
! the long drives to shipping points.
fences have spoiled the roundup. and
branding pens are helping ON the obso-
! lescence of the lariat. In large sections
OF the cattle country every small town
/ has its stockyard and spur track.
This doesn't mean that the cattle
business is on the wane. Far from it.
Its outlook now is brighter than it has
been for ten years. Prices are better at
| home and the demand abroad is strong.
| European shipments of cattle on the
hoof increased uniformly down to 1897.
and though they have diminished
slightly since then. the financial returns
have been relatively better. In the last
| five years the average value of meat
products exported principally to Great
Britain and Germany has been over
| Sal 100000 and of live animals over
| $41.OOO.OOO. But the range cattle busi-
ness no longer offers opportunities for
| the accumulation of such colossal for
tunes as it once did, says Frank NJ.
| Todd in Ainslee's, where so much more
money capital is required than former
ly. does it offer opportunity to so many
| men with only their hands and brains
to aid them.
