An Anecdote. With A Moral,

fAA fAh1VAuV&CaxNV 12N "A N1Ox8us
The story is told sof a certain New
England farmer who went into the
woods TO- get fuel and got a better load
than he expected. He saw a@giant pine
stub on the edge of a. marsh, cut It
down and began to cut it into lengths.
Soon he felt his ak strike something
soft as it broke through the shell of the
tree. Thinking that there might be a
bear inside, he proceeded cautiously,
using wooden wedges to split the log
apart. When the hollow dry log fell in
halves, there lay eight fat coons snugly
housed. Further up the trunk were
two more coons, while in the stump
was the biggest and latest of the lot.
The lucky farmer thus got besides a
cord essof fueloyer two hundred pounds
of coon meat and eleven coon skins.
The sad part Of the story is that since
thatday he has quit all other work and
Wanders. about in q the woods looking
for more hollow logs with coons in
them. There are men just like that.
Having had streak Of good luck some
time byswhich they got something for
nothing they giVesup work, depending
on luck forthe rsstiof their lives, and
the result It's disaster and destruction.
The best "good luck'' that any one can
have is the quality Of patient, honest
labor.

r1ore Stallion SWindleS.

Several Of the most important cases
tried during the term Of United States
court at Sioux Falls, s. D., grow out of
the sale Of Percheron horses by Col
umbus, Ohio, firm to syndicates of
farmers in several localities in South
Dakota. The cases are practically SIM
liar and the particulars Of one apply to
all. - J.--E.@Ss -,~
Last November the Columbus horse
dealing firm shipped to Highmore what
it claimed to be the largest and best
Percheron stallion in the United States.
The agent of the firm proposed to sell
the animal to a stock. company of
twenty or more stockmen for $5,O 600.
The plan looked feasible and the price
of one share, $3.50, did not seem exor-
bitant. <* q =. .,1s-s.s ...: tss,> ss:@ T
The agent started out to secure a list
of twenty more stockmen, each one Of
whom would be acceptable to the 9TH
ers, so that the company could be
formed and the animal taken off his
hands. He approached different ones
and represented that he wanted only to
secure list of names, that the horse
was at Highmore, and that if, upon ex-
animation, they did not want to go into
the deal, they could take their names
off the list. 4 J. .=s. !. .s 'ss s' ri. :9@=.
In this manner he secured the twenty.
names. The first time some Of the
signers visited the town they examined,
the horse and conclude ed they. did not
want to inyestsso much money, and SO
notified the agent. They were greatly
surprised when the agent calmly IN
formed them that they had already
purchased an interest in the animal.
The stock ckmen did not believe il, but.
the agent pro- oduced q memo ndum

page, at thestop Of which was "a con-!

unless the full $1,000 was put up in

cash.
Thinking that they were in for it,
nine Of the twenty signed the note and
the other eleven refused. The note
was then sent to the headquarters of
the firm in Columbus, and it immedi-
ately commenced a suit in the United
States court in this city against the
eleven who had refused to attach their
signatures to the note. ~.:.:.>.,

The Ancctions of tho Arab.

An Arab-nleaning tent dweller, for in an equine sense the town dweller is no Arab-loves first and above all his horse. Next he loves his firearm; next to his gun he loves his oldest son. Last comes his wife or one of his wives. Daughters don't even count; l mean the Arab scarcely takes the trouble to count them unless in so far as they can minister to his comfort, dletetic or oth erwise. untl some neighbor comes along and proposes to marvin other words, to make Il still worse slave of one of them-she is only chattel, a soulless thing. And yet she Is said to be pretty, amiable, helpful being said to be. for no one by any hap ever chances to cast his eyes on one worth seeing. This disregard for women, be it said to their honor. does not always apply to the Bedouins of the Syrian and Arabian deserts.
