Improving Mattera

A country doctor drove into a Ger
tain town to purchase a horse. The
dealer, however, failed to persuade
him to buy the animal, and as he re-
turned home the doctor said:
"Ah, Thomas, that man tried 10
take me in; but I'm not such a fool a.
I look, eh?"
mo, SIR replied the groom, that
you are not"
The doctor looked round rather sus-
piciously.
Thomas felt that he had said some
thing not quite right, and touching his

The Britisher, champion Hereford
bull, OF the 1902 International, has been
bought by Giltner Bros. for $4,000. Gilt
ner Bros. have a famous herd at Emil
nence, Kentucky.
Pete Yauch. one of the thirty Cannon
Ball ranehers, was in the city during the
past week and said his cattle were doing
we'll. The wind storm of the 9th was
trying on some thin Texas cattle shipped
in late in the fall, but the natives did not
seem to mind it.
Montana Exchange, Scab among
sheep has been entirely stamped out in
this state during the .past year, and a
resolution was passed by the state board
of sheep commissioners at the meeting
of that organization in Helena last week,
urging the representatives to aid in secur-
ing an appropriation Of $4,000 for the
purpose Of further investigation OF the
poisonous plants so injurious to sheep on
the Montana ranges.
Jim Wilson is in from the Little Mis-
souri,, 50 miles north, and reports range
conditions in fine shape.
Vim. Rieche has fed nothing to speak
of so far to his sheep. He considers this
an average winter, but does not think
the winter grazing quite as nutritious as
in other seasons, owing probably to the
unusually rank growth of grass last sum-
mer.
J. H. McGillic of Mandan lost 50 to 60
head OF cattle last week in the Missouri

in the history of Henderson was a func-
ton given within its limits in honor of
thoroughbred bovine celebrities, previous
to the event inaugurated by E. H. Brew
ster, owner of the best bunch of cattle
ever brought to this city. BY the way,
before the details of the event are given,
we wish to state that Mr.. Brewster, OF
Wibaux, Mont, owner of the famous
Beaver Valley Herefords, is fattening a
herd at Bosel's stock yard in this city tc
be sold at the breeders sale at the COM
ing Kansas City Stock show. Now fol
the function which took place recently
1t happened that among the herd, a
member registered as "Miss Lucas
brought forth a "son," sired by the
famous "John Jacob Astor," and Mr.
Brewster being delighted at the outcome
became more cordial than ever. The
article then tells how that occasion wa:
appropriately celebrated. The calf wa:

MANY TRUSTS ILLEGAL.
SAYS JUDGE GROSSCUP
Large Corporations Held to Be H.
legitimate Combinations.

BALTIMORE. Md, June 12.-Judge
Peter s. Grosscup. of Chicago, who is
here attending the Lutheran Synod. was
asked today. What Is the best and
NEST feasible solution of the trust ques-
ticn?"
He replied:
The remedy for this state of affairs
rests largely with the Federal Govern
ment. The corporations should be forced
TO organize and TO capitalize honestly.
The Federal Government then should use
one of its departments as sort of trus-
tee for the small stockholders to look
after their interests and to protect their
investments
Would not this SAVIOR of paternal-
ism?"
Yes. but the remedy lies in either
laternalism or socialism.
Let the people control the trusts. It
is unfortunately true that a majority
and large increasing class of industrial
combinations are illegitimate in their
Il spiration, in their operation, and in
their very existence The stupendous
profits derived from few conspicuous
monopolies and the great wealth amass-
ed by their owners have excited greedy
emulation in almost every line of in
GCStry and trade"

Hundreds of Answers and
All Different.
SOME LABORIOUS PROCESSES

One of the most remarkable features
In connection with the dot problem of
fered by The Times is the variety OF en-
swers which reach the office in every
mail. With notably few exceptions the
answers differ widely. yet. from the com
munications accompanying the counts. it
is plain to be seen that each person has
expended much care and time In at
tempting to solve the problem
Some of the letters are amusing. One
candidate Is, SO sure that his count Is
correct that he has notified the Judges
which prize he wants. Another declares
that If The Times gives the piano to the
one who has worked hardest at the prob
lem "he can see himself playing his
piano now" Still another has had his
mind so diligently at work counting dots
that his orthography has become decid-
edly mixed. for he states he has spent
much time and patients" on the puz-
zle
Everyone who has so far entered the
contest seems absolutely sure of a prize.
While The Times would like to accom-
modate everybody, it naturally follows
there will not be prizes for all; for the
diversity of answers makes it impossible
everyone should be right Someone sug-
gests that the number of dots Is changed
each day. That. of course, is not true.
as the same diagram is used in every

| issue OF the paper. When a man has
counted them three times 1t IS natural TO
suppose that he will conclude the num-
Der has been changed, or there is some
thing rotten in the state OF Denmark"
No one can count them more than that
and be at peace with his neighbor. Tho
dot problem has precipitated more than
enc family quarrel and forced many q
mild tempered man to aim the coal scut-
tie at his wife's pompadour. man was
arrested the other day for annoying a
woman on the street. He had followed
her for blocks, boarded the same street
car and kept so close to her that She
was compelled to appeal to a policeman
for protection It developed that he
had been counting the polka-dots in her
dress. The judge had not read The
Times. and now that man is wondering
how he is going to account to his wife
for $40 shortage this month.
The news of the dots has spread to
other cities and this morning COM
munication was received from Provi-
dence. R. l., in which the contestant
said. q know I'm little late with my
answer, but hope to get there just the
same
Many imagine because they were not
among the first to enter the contest
there is small chance OF winning prize.
This is not so. however. 1t is a plain
case OF THE first shall be last and the
last shall be first" Those whs submit
ted answers early have hurried to regis
ter others, because by making a second
count they have discovered the elusive

problem that seems to defy solution,
