DR.. Harry N. Bennett of Cheyenne
tells . pretty good story on himself
that has not been published. Some
years ago he was q practicing physi-
clan at Saratoga and was engaged in
the cattle business as a side issue. The
returns were 30 fiattering that the
doctor concluded that II he could get
some eastern money at a fair rate of
interest he could make a profit out OF
It. An uncle had some surplus cash
and was visited. for pleasure and
profit. The doctor vas greeted warm
~ and his stay was made a very happy
one. At what he considered an ad.
vantageous moment he sprung the
matter Of the loan. "How do you han
die your cattle in wyoming?" inquired
the uncle. I'VE turn them loose in
the summer time. round them up in the
fall. and when found necessary, feed
them in the winter" where do they
run in the summertime" I'm the
mountains and upon the foothills
Anybody with them?" mo" "Humph,
l would a. soon lend my money on a
school of fish," And the doctor has
climbed the way to wealth alone.

LAWFUL LIMITATION NECESSARY

It is easy to denounce trusts by the
wholesale and rant about the terrible
corporations Yet all this does no
rood But when a specific evil is at
tackled and the law brought to bear
where it is applicable then something
to the advantage Of the public may be
accomplished. Trusts have done won
derful things for the Industries of the
world. The combination of smaller
railroads into transcontinental roads is
of great convenience to the public.
and many of the useful commodities
in life have been cheapened and rem
dered obtainable by the poorer classes.
The street car to w~orkingmen in large
cities with its cheap rates is a great
blessing. Many articles that were
once unknown in the house Of the ar
tisan are o 20 common as to cause
mo comment, and 1t is the great COM

Our foreign trade has been extended
and additional employment thus afford

some instances they ride rough-shod
