A New York woman who was made

| ticket.
Judge Ryan, of Topeka, assistant Sec
rotary OF the interior. says President

travels in 1904.
The British Medical Journal ventured
an estimate of the average income that
might be expected by the general prac-
titioner In England. and put it at $4,000
TO $500. The estimate was copied into
several daily papers and has produced
a large crop of correspondence, tenn
| ing with ridicule and indignation. The
general practitioners, who ought to
know, declare that only small proper
ton of their number earn so much, even
after years of arduous work. The COM
petition brought about by the over
crowded state of the profession is, they
induce men, by inflated estimates, to

]. B. Macfarlane lives near Santa Fe,
| N. NJ, where he went ten years ago to
engage in mining. Not finding this
profitable and seeing the possibilities
| of Angora goat breeding, he started
goat farm, and now has herd of five
thousand. 1.-THE Angora goat" he says,
SIS used in the mohair industry and
made into plush. 1t Is shipped to east
| ern manufacturers, and the finished
| product can not be told from the Turk
lish. Whe nyou consider that millions of
dollars worth of Turkish hair is inn
ported annually you can see the posi-
bilities of the industry in America. Ten

Stone. We're going to lear him speak
at the opera house tonight
