"The cattle business dogs not offer

well, what meant was that ranch

about 80 years ago, or perhaps less,
when the cattlemen had no fences to
their pasture grounds. They simply

they went out and rounded them up.

assistance in getting his goods and
chattels hauled to his new abode. l
lent him team and wagon, with Joe,
my right-hand farmman, to drive for
him.
well, at night Joe came back with
a strange story to tell Among the
goods to be moved, he said, was an
immense dry-goods box. 1t was so
heavily packed that two men could
not lift it into the wagon, and Joe in

should unpack the box and tighten it.

New York eats more and wastes
more food than any other city in the
world says a man who has made a
special study of disposing of the waste
material Of great cities 1t wastes
less food in February than in any
other month, probably because a small
er quantity of green vegetables is eat
en- then than in any other month Of
the year. The well-to-do buy southern
vegetables in February, but the poor
live largely on canned food, in which
there is little waste. The waste of
even the winter months, however, is
vastly greater than that of any Euro
pean city.
Food in Paris and London, especially
meats, passes from the better grade of
hotels to the poorer and to the cheap
restaurants. In some cases the pro
prietor of a fashionable Lotel will own
a third-rate house, where the waste
of the former is largely disposed Of
The same is true Of London, and pro-
badly of every great European city.
It is true in a very small degree of
New York.
The story of all this is told in the
products realized in the disposal Of
waste at Barren island. Here the pro-
portion of valuable fats recovered from
the material treated is far greater than
at any similar concern in the world,
chiefly because in the great European
cities where kitchen waste is treated
in a similar manner, the meats and
other foods yielding fat are much more
nearly used up than in New York. A
considerable portion of Europe is
washed with soap made from the waste
Of New York, for the fats thus obtained
at Barren island are in large part
exported to be made into soaps, mbri
cants, and perfumery.-New York

Gentlemen, how is this?" she asked
you give 10000 francs for a leg,

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
That Will Interest Hundreds.

A cheering announcement appears in to-day's Courier which will interest hundreds of people in this town. On Monday, October 19, the 9th subscription wholesale tailoring overcoat and suits to measure will be inaugurated at the Hirsh stores. This event will cover a period of five days and it is safe to say that during every minute of that time there will be some hustling."
 It is really unnecessary to say much about the subscription tailoring events at the Hirsh stores. Everybody knows Just what they are. And still when a new one is announced the talk spreads from one part of the city to all of the other parts, and indeed to the suburban towns. Another thing about them is the interest steadily increases and each suc- ceeding sale IS more popular than its predecessor. There is a cause for ev- cry effect. and an effect for every cause" In the first place 1t is one of the ''marvels of the age" that any one should be courageous enough and liber- al enough, to successfully carry through such an undertaking. When you come to think of it, the surprise and wonder increase. An overeoat cut to your meas ure. of materials which are bound to please even the most fastidious, made in the most approved manner and guaran- teed to be satisfactory in every particlI- lar. at the nominal cost of $12.50! And then. again: A complete suit-that is, coat. vest and trousers-all of superior fabric. latest style and perfect work nnanship. cut and fit to your meas ure for $12.50!= Is it any wonder that the subscription events at the Hirsh stores are the talk of the town?
 So Friends and fellow citizens, put your mind on Monday, october 1s, and be among the fortunate ones who will strike it rich" at this great subscrip- ton. ."

A LOCAL FIRM
Did the Furnishing of the New Union
 A League Club.

Did the Furnishing of the New Union
 N League Club.
 The entire furnishings and draperies of the new Union League club were supplied by the Edward Malley com pany from special designs furnished by the contract department of that firm;- department which makes speciality of taking all the care and bother of furnishing houses, hoetl, churches and halls off the owners.
 Every piece of furniture in the su- perb new club was made to special de- sign, and the design was furnished by The Edward Malley company. The rugs used on the two lower floors were made to special order for the purpose. The rug which covers the library floor Is one of the largest ever made, being 23x31 feet. All the draperies were de- signed in the upholstery department of the firm and made in it's own work rooms.
 The fittings of the new club are among the most tasteful and luxurious in the country and it is 8 matter for pride that a local firm was successful in securing the, business in fair eon- petition on all points of excellence and cost with the most noted furniture and carpet houses of the country.
