CHANCE IN THE BUSINESS.
There is great deal Of chance In the
business OF cattle-ralsing, The last two
years have been OF great fluctuations
in prices. The market Is In more dis
ordered condition at present than In
long time. Governor Tyler and other
cattle.growers have told me that they
we're never more uncertain as to the
future of the market. and this makes
buytng specially difficult. A half cent
too much paid for the two-year-olds
now may mean their sale next year at
loss
Governor Tyler took two Of the young
ladies' Of the household and myself last

all its phases. but there was more

STEALING BA It'll EFIELD.

Hoosick Falls, N. Y, Aug. l5.-The
Hoosick Historical society is today
holding celebration in commemora-
ton of the battle of Bennington,
which the society contends was fought
at Walloomsack, just over the New
York line from Bennington. The cele-
bration is being held on what is
claimed to be the battle-ground.
The difference of opinion regarding
the location of the battle has been
threshed out occasionally in past years
by historians of greater or less degree,
and has now assumed the proportions
of vast controversy which is embit-
tered by the fact that the people of
New York and Vermont stand opposed
on questions of the location of the his
toric battle Vermont has in a meas
ure long lead on New York State,
for the Green Mountain State has a
notable battle monument, costing into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
for erection. The queer feature of
this memorial, according to the Hoos-
lex Falls historians, is that it stands
on prominent point in Bennington,
about eight miles from the battlefield,
which is noted by markers, near Wal
loomsack Ridge, this side of the YER
mont line.

FARM CHILDREN.

Our educational system has been
made by city people, and the country
school finds it second hand, ill-fitting
and unattractive. TO this fact more
than to any other, perhaps, is due the
backwardness of education in agricul-
tural States. The school has not taken
hold on farm life. Plants, soils, ami
mails, insects, flowers, the weather, the
forests and the sky-from all these
things it has stood apart. while it has
babbled of subjects unfamiliar and I'M
interesting to the country bred child
All rural education has been hacked
and hewed to fit the Procrustean bed
of the city model
This is a severe Indictment of our
present methods. but it is not'a whit
too severe. To find proof you have
only to examine the text books in use
in our rural schools. Apparently they
have been written soley for city
children, sons and daughters of clerks,
merchants, bankers and traders They
do not even suggest to the farmers
child the possibilities of science and
training in agricultural work On the
contrary, the natural and logical in
ference from our general scheme of
rural instruction is that education is
not indispensable to the farmer, but
is intended chiefly for the commercial
and professional classes. - Worlds

"WILD MIN OF BORNEO."

Joaquin Miller, the California poet
and naturalist WAS an intimate friend
of r. T. Barnum. They met abroad
many years ago, and kept in touch I'M
til the great Snowman died. Many are
the stories which the old poet likes
to tell of his friend, "the great Ameri-
can humbug'' and one of them is the
true story of the greatest "humbug"
which Barnum ever perpetuated-the
Wild Man of Borneo
1t came about through MI. Barnum s
love of temperance and his great kind
ness of heart said the poet in telling
the story recently to some friends. An
old sailor who had been everywhere
came to Barnum one afternoon in
Bridgeport, Conn, and asked him to
buy some things which he had carved
from wood on his last voyage across
the Pacific. He was ragged, hairy,
hunrgy, and altogether terrible
specimen.
Where have you been? asked the
show man.
Been to Borneo, answered the old
sailor.
Well, you look it Come in and sit
down. We are just going to have sup
per.
The sailor did come in and after
the meal begged Barnum to lock him
up in a cage, "A cage with iron bars,
that he might refrain from drinking.
Thus it was that the "Wild Man from
Borneo" was conceived, and everyone
who attended the Barnum show re-
members what an object of interest he
was to small boys.

that three boys were fishing outside
Havana harbor when the boat broke

ashore. Two of the boys swan ashore
but the other was unable to swim and
dritted with the boat, which was over
