 "In my youth 1 cared very little for vegetables of any kind, and on the plains we had but three articles of diet-meat, bread Gin form of 'flapjackO and coffee; of which meat was the main part, the others to make a complete ration. The amount of meat we ate seems almost in credible.
 "In September or October of 'S9 I shot large. fat cow elk. and as the weather was quite cool I kept the entire carcass and several gallons of fat. In a little over a wek three of ate up the entire animal and made soup of the bones and along with it at each meal we made flap jacks, fried in the tallow, and drank all the coffee we wanted, usually two or three cups to each person at morning and evening, and also at noon, if we had time to cook at noon.
 While meat was our main reliance, and we had no end of the choicest parts of buffalo, elk antelope, turkey, etc, it seemed a necessity to have coffee strong and in large quantities. No matter what extreme physical labor I had undergone

HONEY PRODUCES GOOD PROFIT
Illinois FarmeB are Increasing Acreage of White Clover
 for Bees.

Davis Junction, Ill.,, special
 There Is now strong movement to in- crease the beekeeping industry in north ern Illinois. At recent meeting held in Rockford, at which beekeepers from both Illinois and Wisconsin were present, 1t was demonstrated that honey is now a prolific source of revenue to many fram- CTS, and that apiaries are largely on the increase.
 The acreage of white clover has largely increased in the northern counties, and the blossoms from which the little work CTS get their stores, have become so abundant in season that pure honey is produced in paying quantities.
 At Elizabeth, in Jo Daviess County, a single Keeper has nearly fifty hives and he has but small place. Pure comb honey in that vicinity Is now being sold at 10 cents a pound.

Within the past few years wealthy and fashionable ladies and many women with natural fondness for canines have be- come greatly interested in the breeding of show dogs. Some ladies who are not millionaires. but who have a talent for taking care of dogs, rear high bred anil mals for sale and derive considerable in- come therefrom. 1t is necessary, of course, for this purpose to follow the fa- vorite breeds for the time being.

WASHINGTON. D. G., Dec. 5th.-

city in the world. Men who achieve
success in the various parts Of the
union, as a rule, seem to be drifting
toward that great financial and com
mercial metropolis. Its lines Of busl-
ness are continually being extended
to new points. The cost Of living
there is high, and the rates are bound
to go higher as the city becomes
more crowded. found many people
who were very blue over the present
condition of the money market. Stocks
have fallen SO in price that many who

condition than formerly. They have
been strengthening their resources.

will bring forth.

The contrast between his career AMI

marked. The picture Of the latter
