WHWE G@ ZH
a Missouri farmer, whose hog had
been killed by a train and who imag-
ined himself to be something Of q poet,
wrote these lines to the company's
claim agent for a settlement:
MY razorback strolled down your track
Al week ago today;
Your 30 came down the line
And snuffed his light away.
You can't blame me-the hog, You see,
Slipped through a cattle gate;
So kindly pen a check for ten,
The debt to liquidate.
He was rather surprised a few days
Later to receive the following:
Old 90 came down the line
And killed your hog, we know;
But r~azorbacks on railroad tracks
Quite often meet with woe.
Therefore, my friend, we cannot send
The check for which you pine.
Just plant the dead; place Ger his head:
.'Here lies a foolish swine.''
The above is all right,
But now for me, / cannot see
How an engine on the track,
Could 60 down the line on schedule time
And catch a razorback .-Ex.

An Important Lesson to Cattle
Breeders.

Breeders.
One of the most forcible illustrations
of what may be accomplished d in the cat
tie breeding business in a practical way,
is found in the comparatively brief
experience Of an old resident Of Illinois,
whose dispersion sale was held at his
breeding farm near Randolph, recently
We refer to Mr.. James Bishop, of that
place. Seven years ago he made his
first investment in Short Horn cattle.
He was at that time scventy-six years Of
age. He purchased eve cows, five Of
of the Caroline tribe and two Gems, at
moderate prices. Since that time he
he has not bought another female, but
has taken pains TO use good bulls. Dur
ing the seven years in which he o
Quoted the business he sold bulls to the
amount of $3.50. The entire herd Of
sixty-five head was sold recently at pub
lie auction, making an average of $l60,
% per head. the aggregate being $l0,45i
which, added to the amount sold at
private treaty, is in round numbers
$4,000. The original sever cows were
sent through the sale ring, each one safe
in calf, aud brought 800 more than he
paid for them. AS stated he had used
good bulls, ani one for which he paid
$500 sold in the sale for $500. Mr..
Bishop was careful and painstaking
manager. He saw to it that his cattle
were provided with sufficient feed, that
they were properly looked after in every
particular, in short he made that his
business and they appeared in the sale
ring in excellent form and were taken at
highly profitable but very moderate
prices. This is a striking illustration,
especially as the cattle were all Of the
so-called plain breeding. He did not
speculate ne simply looked after the
cattle for the seven years In which he
was engaged In the business, and as a
result, he has q small fortune of $i5, 900,
which he made with the Short Horns
directly. IL il a striking instance, mas
much as Mr.. Bishop was advanced in
age when he made his investment. To
the man who is incliued 70 take only
half r. Of his cattle, as well as to the
man who prefers to speculate, this illus
kration affords its most forcible lesson.
If the average breeder were to follow
the methods pursued by Mr.. Bishop
ahere is little doubt that the cattle bust
mess would be more profitable to all con.
cerned.

There is no shortage Of kerosene, in
fact "we'' are expecting great tanks OF
il. But the other day MI. Rockefeller
got together and put up the price, a cent
a gallon because he needed the money.
That is, he put up the price in the
United States. The export price
remains unchanged. This u~nspeakable
outrage, for it is an outrage when fuel
is as scarce as it is at present, indicates
that the genial and kindly oil magnate
is going to make the poor people of
America give the Chicago university
another bunch of buildings or a high
priced professor who gratis live sea
urchins and butterflies to see if they
will grow together and so assuage the
misery and suffering of the world.

Hon. G. H. Worthington, president OF
the Cleveland Stone company, the
largest stone company in the United
States, and w. @. Nichols, superintend-
ent, have just completed the inspection
of the Edgemont stone quarry which
Mr.. Worthington has recently pur.
chased. NJ. Nichols came out as an
expert to pass upon the quality Of the
stone, and after examining samples OF
the rock, he expressed the opinion that
the stone was capable of making the
finest grindstones in the United States.
Active work in the quarry viii probably
be commenced in March or April.

However, we could not get Miss Collins

the promise of something better later
on if she would return. Now we are
very much pleased with Miss Collins
work in our Office and are willing and
glad to offer her increased salary if we
can keep her, as we find it very hard to
secure one that will take the interest in
our office and perform her duties as
Miss Collins does. Allow us to con-

received her training from your school,
and wish you would do all you can to
induce her to return. We have
received several applications from diff

she can be secured.
Hoping you will do all You can in

PICKLER, OR SMITH.
One of These May Be Reeds
Opponent.

Hays, Kan, Dec. 10.-Parties have
been here and in Ellis this week quiet
ly canvassing among Republicans and
former Populfsts the question of run
ming Judge r. M. 'Pickler Smith Cen
ter, or Judge G. w. Smith of Stockton
for congress in the Sixth district the
coming year. It is said that they met
with much success.
Now that it is clear that the Demo-
cratic nominee will be r. w. Turner,
high with the old time PopuIiStS and
independent Republicans, it is claimed
that some new man must be named by
the Republicans who can poll the solid
party vote as well as capture the Pop
ulistS who will this coming year have
to take a straight choice of Republi-
canism and Democracy, and that either
Picker or Smith can do so. Both are
clean, brilliant men, fine takers, not
mixed up in political QuarreIs or fac
tions as has been shown by their i'm
mense popularity at home in their race
last year for judge.
1t. is claimed that as against Turner,
Congressman Reeder would be defeat
ed easily, if nothing else, to get clear
of him, and open the field to a new
man. His troubles in every county in
the district over appointments; his
failure to secure the craftsmanship of
the irrigation committee and the GER
tainty that the Sixth district will re-
ceive no recognition from that law,
doing away with the campaign prom
ises of 1902; his solid opposition to Pol
lock. Leland and Long will make him,
it is alleged, an easily defeated candi-
date.
In Ellis county he will next time fail
to even carry his party vote. Two
years ago the Russians and farmers
were induced to vote for him on prom
Use of an artesfan Welf on the abandon
ed FIT. Hays reservat ton but that has
not materfalized. Again he has failed
to recognize the old soldiers in his Sc
lection of postmasters at Ellis and
Hays, in both places picking young
men who could have waited some years,
in Hays the veteran, J. H. Downing,
being turned down and H. M. Penny
being selected, who has already Offend
ed Republicans by importing from
crat, and making him deputy.
Russell county has not forgotten its
last fight and Holland is ready to step
aside for Smith or Picker. Ellsworth
county has not forgotten Wellington's
defeat and he is ready to join. Trego
is all torn up over Jones senatorial
campaign, dividing the Long and Bur-
ton Republicans. Cove is the same,
while Thomas feels that Buschow is
entitled to second term as senator
and is ready for revolt. Chambers of
Rocks is opening up his batteries for a
new man, and all of that judicial dis
trict will stand by Smith. while Jewell.
Smith and even Mitchell would give
their big vote for Judge Picker, and
the man who could easily defeat Tur-
ner. while Smith county, with its BAN
ner Populism. would welcome Picker
with a rousing vote.

ALONGER SCHEDULE.
National League to Play 1914 Games
the Coming Season.

New York, Dec. 10.-The National
League of Professional Baseball Clubs
at its second days session at the Hotel
Victoria, decided to lengthen the base
ball season. This will not allow the
teams of the two major leagues who
win the pennants to play for the
championship of the world The board
decided that each club should play 154
games with each other club, instead of
40 games as was called for in last sea-
sons schedule. The schedule commit
tee will try to so arrange the schedule
that each club will have enough off
days so that postponed games will not
be played on same day with scheduled
games.
The season will open about April Is
and continue until October 10. The
uniform contract that was approved by
the national commission was adopted
by the leagues and President Pulliam
was instructed to vote at a meeting of
the national committee for a rule to
declare ineligible any player who
jumps a contract with any league a
party to the national agreement.
The league adopted a rule that clubs
of the league must waive claim to the
services of player before he could be
signed by a club for another league.
The rumor of consolidation with the
American league was denied last night
with vehemence that seemed to set
tie the question for this year at least.
