Cominq Our WAY

Eagle Grove Qowa) Times Gazette
A company is in process of formation in
Eagle Grove for the purpose. Of starting
a big stock, ranch in North Dakota. The
company contains as its members Messrs.
N. w. and W. P. Owens, NJ. D. Braden,
A. N. Odenheimer, Geo. Wright, James
Mulligan, VIM. Boylsou; E. D. Mineah,
w. c. Halsey, R. M. Smallpage, Of this
city; F.. A. Scott. Of Sioux Falls. S. D.,
and M. A. Mickleson of Clarion.
The company will capitalize at $4,000.
1t has already bought a railroad town
ship in Stark county, North Dakota, and
has purchased enough beside to give 1o
sections of land. The land is located
about 20 miles north of Dickinson, which
is a thriving city Of 400 people. with
electric lights and other modern APP
planes. The proposition is to use the
land. as a stock ranch. When spring
opens a large number of cattle will be
put on the land and be allowed to range
it, fatten and be shipped. The idea is to
have eventually about 1000 head. w.
P. Owens, of this CITY, will move out
there and become resident manager.
The proposition seem to be an excel.
lent n and should be a money maker.
The organization Of the company is moi
yet complete, but will be within a shor,
time.

The last execution on a permanent
gallows In London took place at Ty-
burn on Nov. Z, 1888. the malefactor
being one John Austin, condemned for
highway robbery with violence. For
centuries Tyburn had been the scene
Of executions for criminals condemned
in Middlesex, and before the erection
Of the permanent gibbet occasional
hangings had taken place, record exist
ing Of the hanging Of Judge Tressilian
and Nicholas Brembre at that place as
far back as 1883.
The gallows consisted Of three posts.
and around it were open galleries, re-

were let. On account of the disgrace

POULTRY POINTERS.

Ducks and geese need no grain when
they have plenty of grass.
Chicken fatten faster on cooked food
than on raw because it is more easily
digested.
When soft feed is given to either
young or old fowls it should never be
thrown on the ground.
When closely confined, the loose grain
fed to fowls should be scattered among
litter Of some kind, so that they can
scratch It out.
There is nothing so bad for the health
and we'll being Of poultry as combining
them In close quarters and preventing
them from taking needed exercise.
One Of the most important items to
insure success In the Matching of chick
ems in winter Is to get the eggs from a
dock Of healthy and vigorous fowls.
There is better health among rowing
fowls because they get the food that is
best for digestion and get the necessary
grit to help the sizzard do Its work.
When necessary to administer medi-
cine by placing it In the drinking wa
ter, keep the birds from drink for sew
eral hours. They are then thirsty and
more apt to get a good swallow.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE.

Cups, Brushes and sponges That Are
Left In Barber Shops.
"What becomes of all the old shaw.
ing mugsr was the question asked the
barber.
"What becomes Of the owners?" was
the response.
Neither side seemed disposed to IN
swer the query, and there vas an awk-
ward silence. The barber slapped his
razor on the strop, smeared some extra
lather on the victims mouth 50 he
wouldn't be inclined to interrupt and
said In a stage whisper:
f"Now, I'll tell you, but I don't want
It shouted from the housetops. We
use the mugs again."
He paused and sighed as he tossed
the questioner's head the other way.
EYES," he continued, I'VE use them
again. We don't like to lose custom
ers; but. IL we must lose them, why, we
don't mind If they leave their cups,
ETC., behind. It's surprising how many
do; but, then, BARRIERS do mostly a
shifting trade It's no secret that we
urge customers to have their own cup,
Most of them are satisfied II they have
a private cup, brush and sponge. We
supply them with the mans name on
the cup for $3.50. and our profit on the
transaction Is 80 cents. When a man
has a z and comb and brush be-
sides the other tools. he generally takes
the whole lot away when he's leaving.
but countless cups, brushes and
sponges are left behind in every barber
shop.
"The cups are always good. Many Of
them contain such common names as
John Smith. William Jones, ETC.. and
when some other John Smith or VIII
liam Jones orders a cup we simply sup
ply him with the asst off one. Some.
times they need a little touching up
with gliding; but, on the whole, it's
very profitable.

use them on the transients."-New

Mr.. Andrew Lang, rambling in his playful
way about the subject of General Culture
Courses" declares that it is by some unhappy
destiny that thousands Of young men and
women Of the fairly welltOdo classes are
obliged to spend part of three or four years IN
being educated, that is, in attending UNIVERSE
ties, where the ingenious victims are actually
supposed to read" Study of any kind he main
tains. is, for these thousands, nothing less than
an abomination and why" he asks, should
we blame them? Whatever the intentions OF
nature may be- he goes on, ''she certainly never
neant the enormous majority of the human race
10 care for poetry and the use of the globes Tor
history or languages or literature. III we
would but be fair. this truth could not escape
reDeral acknowledgment" The case is no
doubt overstated, but Mr.. Lang's words have
useful application for good many thousands
who fancy that their education means some
thing. We refer TO the thousands who have in
late years, encouraged by booming" market,
taken to the writing of books. Their presump-
ton constitutes phenomenon by itself. They
have acquired some education they can write
fairly good English and they have mbbed n
certain taste for literature. But from their
works it is not plain that they have any more
call" to write books than they have to over
haul the conclusions of the astronomers. Be
cause they can struggle into print they have a
notion that it is all right. Besides" they
argue, have we not as much right as anybody
else to blacken paper?' They have no right
whatever. They and their admirng relatives
and friends are laboring under fond delusion.
They think that it was intended that they
should write books because they think that
they are cultured, because they think that they
think They make tragical mistake
