The Man Who Leaps

rs rarely ever satisfied, while the man
lwho looks before he leaps Is satis-
fed nineteen times out of twenty. L
am satisfied that there are no other
business contracts that men enter into
where less looking is done than In the
matter of buying Life Insurance-pos-
sibly the most important transaction
Of their lives. All intelligent men know
that there are not less than twenty
five good life insurance companies IN

fortunately for said intelligent men
they have allowed themselves to be de-
luded into believing that "all are about

Investigate the Mutual Benefit. You
will find that it offers EVERYTHING

LIGHTNING sCORCHED HIS HAIR

j. A. Spencer Has Close Call While Cutting
AIiIIet With Moving Machine.
The story that Charles Rucksdashel
reported in town Saturday, concerning
the peculiar action of lightning in his
neighbOrhOOd, during a thunder shower
Friday afternoon, is the best yet and he
says it is true.
Il have more than q passing interest
in the bolt Of lightning that burned my
neighbours hair on the back of his head,
because that same shock knocked a bar
Of iron from my hands and sent its sting
clear into my shoulders and I was half
mile away" Rucksdashel said. Late IN
the afternoon an ugly looking cloud
rolled up from the northwest. It began
to rain little and my neighbOr, J. A.
Spencer, who was moving millet IN the
field had to quit. He had just pulled
of the field and, seated upon the mower,
wss driving home when a bolt Of flash
Lightning, half mile long, made the air
pop. Spencer was in line with it and
the bolt came so near him that If
LIZ -AtAAA VI VIC D1la u us AEals
Il live just half a mile from where
Spencer had been working, aud that
same fash that touched him up knocked
a big bar Of iron out Of my hands that
happened TO be working with just then
I tell you let go mighty quick and nj
arms felt as though my crazy bones
had been put out OF joint. That's Al
near as I ever want Lightning playing
around me. A number Of years ago
was put in the clear for a while and tht

we're in the same room, and ever sine
then have had no use for lightning.

FIVE CALVES BITTEN.
Big RattIesnake Set Fangs Into Their
Heads While They Nose at 1t.

Big RattIesnake Set Fangs Into Their
Heads While They Nose at 1t.
Five ont Of bunch Of 3 calves were
bitten on the head by large rattlesnake
OF the Ernest Grieger ranch, north OF
Goodland, last Thursday. The heads
Of the animals swelled to twice their
natural size but none OF them died.
Mr.. Grieger was in town that day and
the calves were being herded by Law
renee Safer. The boy noticed that there
was a commotion among the calves and
went to find what the matter was They
had formed a semi circle, and with noses
and tails straight out they would ad-
vance to the center and then jump back
in a frightened manner. This was done
several times, and when the herder came
up he saw that big RATHER with ten
rattles had been playing upon the beads
and noses of the calves and had wound
ed five.
At night when Grieger returned the
heads OF the bitten brutes looked like
the biggest part Of their body, and the
poison had practically spent all its force.
The calves had been allowed to run
with the COWS and when they would at
tempt to suck. their swollen lips prevent
ed them from extracting any nour-
ishment, and it was several days before
they could eat or drink.
It's a rather curious fact that the bite
OF rattlesnake on the head Of an ami
NAL is rarely fatal, whereas bite on the
hind leg almost always produces death.
This is the experience Of those who
know most about the effects Of snake
bites, but no definite explanation Of the
action of the poison Of the rattlesnake
injected into efficient parts Of the body
Is generally known.

Minister Slated for the Place NOW on His
way Prom pennsylvania
Matters have so shaped themselves
that it is thought the Methodist church
Of this place, which was left without a
pastor by the resignation Of Rev. Miller,
will soon be provided for.
Presiding Elder Housed passed
through Goodland last Monday, and in
a conference with E. E. Donly, said he
had his eye on a suitable man for the
place. The person in question is the
minister that followed Rev. Miller at
Narlza when the latter was first assigned
to GOOdland. he took 10 work IN this
district this year as the settlement Of an
estate in Pennsylvania called him away
but that work having been completed
he has assented to take the GOOdland
church, IN response to an inquiry from
Elder Housel and is now on his way
west.
Mr.. DOnly says she has forgotten The
name Of the person mentioned for thi.
pastorzte, but was told By the elder
that the new man has had considerable
experience in the work. He Is cOmpar
atiYely a young minister and married.

OLD AND OUT OF MONEY.
Massachusetts Man Trying to Reach Home
Of His Son at GOOdIand.

Massachusetts, Man Trying to Reach Home
Of His Son at GOOdIand-
From Salina Union.
IAN old man with long flowing white
beard attracted considerable attention
on South Eighth street Monday evening.
With slow, feeble step he was making
his way down the street about seven
o'clock when faintness compelled him to
lean against a tree on one of the beauti-
ful lawns. Fred Fitzpatrick gave the
old man his supper, got a room for him
ID the Grand Central hotel and gave
him money for his breakfast.
The old man gave his name as Ross
and claimed to live in Massachusetts, but
is on his way to GOodland to the home
of his son who is a stockman living seven
miles from that town. When asked he
said that his age was T6 years.
at appears that the old mans money
gave out after reaching Kansas and be
has been dependent upon charity volun-
tarIly bestowed upon him. Too timid
and proud to beg his prospect of reach
ing GOOdland is slim indeed unless
kindly hands are extended to him in aid
The city sent him as far as Lincoln"
The name Of the son Of this old gentle
man is R d. Ross, an Englishmsn
who formerly lived about four miles
southeast Of town, but some time age
left the county. As far as known the
aged father has not IS yet made hil
appearance here.

PAYS NOT TO MAKE BUTTER.
Much Greater PROFIT Prom sale OF Cream
and Lees Trouble.

Much Greater Profit Prom sale OF Cream
and Lees Trouble.
Butter Is higher in GoOdland than for
several years and yet the farmers refuse
to make the product and put it on the
local market for the simple reason that
they get more for their cream than is
paid for homemade butter Scarcity Of
butter at the stores has raised the price
according to the law Of supply and de-
mand, and the scarcity is bound to con-
tinus until the price raises enough to
make it profitable for the farmer to
make butter instead Of selling cream.
The case Of Andy Ritchey, who lives
southeast Of Lamborn, is here in point.
Mr.. Ritchey milks 20 COWS, separates the
cream, churns that and extracts all the
butter ne can from the product Of the
COWS and ships the butter to Colorado
Springs in a marketable condition, for a
good contract price.
After Mr.. Ritchey had gone to the ex-
pense OF buying a hand separator, churn-
ing and working the butter and market
ing the same, he found that each COW
was returning him about $50 month.
The COWS Of the farmers ali around him
who we're separating and marketing
the cream, made a return Of from $3.50
to $3.50 a month. In other words
the COWS that were used for making
butter brought their owner only about
one-half Of the amount Of the ones
MIXED and the cream sold to ereamer-
les. This illustration alone proves that
as rule it does not pay to milk COWS
and make butter when twice as much
may be made by marketing the cream.
