Stephen Townsend, though IS years
old, retains much of the vigor Of his
youth. He makes trip down street
three times a day and claims to be
something of sprinter despite his age.
While in Justice Campbell's office, the
other day, Mr.. Townsend grew remi--
niscent and told the following story:
Sixty years ago, while boy in Eng
land, he knew Sam Johnson, the Lon
don poet johnson had Scotch son-in-
law named Boswell, who visited him
frequently, walking the entire distance
from Scotland to London on these oc-
casions. One summer the poet decided
to return these visits and took the
stage coach for the Highlapds. On the
border of Scotland, he was met by
Boswell, who, after providing his guest
with a horse, and directing him to an
inn, where he had ordered dinner,
started of across the mountains for
the same place.
Mr. BoswelFs way being more direct,
and he, having something of a record
as a speedy pedestrian, arrived long
before Mr.. johnson, and also some lit
tie time before the delicacies he was
providing for the delectation Of his
guest were ready for the table. In fact,
Mr.. Boswell had the pleasure Of watch
ing the shoulder Of mutton in the
course of preparation, as small boy
stood before the spit on which it hung,
basting it with a large spoon from
dripping pan set beneath.
AS Boswell watched, the boy scratch
ed his head with one hand while hold
ing the basting spoon in the other.
He changed the spoon to the other hand
and repeated the operation. The expec-
tant diner imagined that he saw some
thng drop from the boys head into the
dripping pan and being of fastidious
nature, Immediately lost his appetite.
He saw no reason, however, for spoil
ing his friends dinner so he said moth
ing to him about the incident
Mr.. Johnson noticed that the Scotch
man ate no meat, during the dinner,
and insisted on an explanation. Bos-
we'll contented himself with saying
that the pudding would do very well

"TSlked About.v

The neighbors talked about her nearly
everywhere they met:
They talked about her till she died; they
talk about her yet,
The high ard low all spoke of her. as
did the old and young,
And every gossip tossed her name upon
her hsmble tongue.
Twas she who kissed the baby first and
blest its happy birth;
Twas she who helped TO guide its feet
through all the paths of earth;
Twas she who watched beside the bed
whercon the dying lay.
Twas she who soothed the stricken
friends when one was called away.
The neignbors talked about her nearly
everywhere they met:
They talked about her TIL she died. they
talk about her yet
They talked about her wondrous hands.
her heart so full OF love.
And now the angels talk OF her who

Immense cattle Ranch.

A dispatch from Austin. Tex. says
w. C. Greene OF New York and three
other Americans have purchased a
solid tract of land, situated in the
state of Sonora, in northern Mexico.
embracing 100000 acres. This land
is now being inclosed with four
strand wire fence, and is to be the
largest cattle ranch in the world.
The tract is 125 miles long and 100
miles wide. More than 1000 miles OF
barbed wire will be required to fence
it. 1t is estimated that this vast ranch
property will afford pasturage for
about 10000 head of cattle in its pres
ent raw condition.
The usual western ranch will fur
nish grass for about thirty-six head of
cattle to section. This number is to
be greatly increased on this Mexican
ranch by means of forage crops. It is
proposed to establish an immense ir-
rigatlon system on this land and to
give much attention to farming.
