TALE OF A HORSE.

There was much talk IN Berlin when
IL became known that Emperor William
on the occasion Of his recent visit TO
Rome, had taken with him his saddler.
Now. however. a satisfactory reason has
been given. The Kaiser il appears. or
dered that only one of his horses should
be sent 10 the Eternal City" and Il
happened that the horse selected for this
purpose had short tail.
The Emperor became aware Of this fact
at the last moment. and. thinking It very
probable that ne might desire 10 wear
his hussar uniform in Rome, in which
case he could not appear in public thus
arrayed on horse with a short tail.
long tailed horses being indispensable 70
hussars. he at once ordereT his saddler
10 accompany him. and 20 bring with
him a long artificial tail which could be
fastened TO the imperial charger at such
times as il became desirable TO hide its
short caudal appendage.
1t is claimed that the throne room in the
ROYAL Palace in Amsterdam is the most

Judged by the results Of the post meet
held at Fort Myer yesterday. the new order
Of athletics in the army is distinct sue
cess. There was only one feature of the
affair that was disappointing and that was
the lack Of the necessary apparatus Tor
the proper presentation Of all the features
Of the program. Several of the events were
cut out altogether because Of the absence
Of the gymnastic appliances. But this did
not interfere with the success of the oc-
casion; 1t only prevented the carrying out
Of the program as 1t was arranged. The
success Of the meet, however, was attested
by the excellent time made in the va
rions events. Records were often broken
and new ones were established.
The meet yesterday was held under au-
thority from general order No. 10 of the
Department Of the East. The order d.
rected that post meets should be held dur
ing the last week of each of the following
months: March. April. May. June. July and
August. No person winning an event at
a post meet will be permitted to compete
in the same kind Of an event during the
remainder Of the year.
For the purpose of selecting the best
men in each Of the posts the department
was divided into districts and orders were
issued for a district meeting. The meeting
for this district, which Is officially known
as the seventh. will be held at Fort Myer
some time in September. This district in

Cattlemen W. Sheep Raisers.

From Leslie's Monthly.
The only way to stop the bitter conten-
ton which prevails Is to lesalixe the rights
Of both sheep and cattle owners. The pub
lie lands now used for cattle and sheep
throughout the disputed territory must be
divided between fockmasters and cattle
men on permanent and legal lines. Con-
gress must legislate as to the disposal Of
the arid lands in the territories so that
each owner shall have the exclusive legal
right to his range. Through the national
association stocimen have been before
Congress for years proposing plains for
settlement of the difficulty. They desire
the right either to lease or to buy such
lands AZ cannot possibly be SUBJECT to irri-
CATION, There Is a sentiment In the east
against granting this legislation lest the
rights Of the smaller settler should be en-
dangered. but 1t must be remembered that
very little OF the range under dispute IL
available for farming on account OF lack
OF water. It has also been proposed that
the railroads. which now have alternate
sections along their tracks, be given In
stead alternate townships 30 that they
may lease them to the catt1emen. This
surely would help to unravel the tangie
OF conflicting rights which at present have
no substantial legal basis. Until some
action Is taken by Congress the live stock
industry, which has more Invested capital
than any other business In thu country,
must remain In precartous condition

BUY A HOME

In this issue will be found full
page advertisement of farm and ranch
bargains offered for sale by Weber C
Farris. The rise in the value Of land
in the state of Iowa has averaged
nearly 81 per acre per year for more
than forty years. In other words,
that which was worth almost nothing
forty years ago is now worth from
SIS to 500 per acre. Land in Iowa
that was worth $40 to $40 per acre
forty years ago is now worth from $50
to 500.
The average rise in value of land in
eastern Nebraska has been practically
the same as in Iowa. The average rise
in value since early settlement 35
years ago has been about s. per acre
per year. Land worth almost moth
ing then is now worth $50 to $50 per
ecre. The same thing will be true of
good lands in central and western Ne
braska. If you do not already own a
| home it should be your first intention
to buy as soon as you can. The good
and productive land is rapidly being
taken. la few years the price will
be beyond the reach of the man of
