Building Up a BUsineBs.

An amusing fable. which bears evil
dence of its Western origin, although
the author lays the scene in the East,
is that which relates the cl~eyerness
of Pandy Cholic, the apothecary. One
day he transplanted AIN apple tree
from his orchard to the side of the
common road. While he was sur
veying his handiwork with Satisfac-
ton there came along the road Il learn
ed pundit.
20 what avail is it to have moved
the tree from its pleasant place in the
orchard to the sandy rOadSide?"
"Of much avail, most learned pun
dit" said the apothecary in a plying
tone, for thou must know that the
dreams of an apothecary who dwells
in a land of small boys and green ap-
pies are sweeter than those of TIE
poet slumbering in the rose garden of
S%hiraZ-the knurlier the apples, the
earlier the small boys. and in good
time myself to heal them for 4 con-
sideration. Go to, pundit! Thou art
too learned to be practical!"

Said he was sellin' a new health food,
Made scientific, and all OF that:
And warranted wholesome, pure and good,
And calculated to make men tat.
He was middlin' tall and awful thin,
And pale and peaked around the giils;
But a talker-wel, he waded in
Talked through valleys aid over hills.
Said his preparation was immense
For muscle buildin' and maxim brcin;
Put up pretty, and the price ten cents,
And inc!udin' all the best of grain.
And old ST Hankins-you all know ST.
He spoke right up and he said, says he:
"Ail them there health foods are good,

Says 81, a-stretchin' his six foot three,
And bulgin' his muscles like cords OF
wood,
teWhat is your food made OF, now tell me.
For I'm ailin' and need what's good
And that there man without a halt
just talked Of pro-teea, and things like
that;
Predigession, and sugar'n malt,
And muscle buildin' and maxim fat.
Says he, a smith his holier chest,

Then old 81 he says, says 81, says he,

''Thought I was done for, I did, by men!
But | got some health food right in here,
And took it regular a long time, then
Well, l guess I'm good for many a year"
And the ~travelin' man, says he to ST,
Admirin' his tall and rugged frame,

OLD RANGE FIGHT BREAKS OUT,
Cowboys Burn a Sheep Herders' Camp
and Kill 5000 Sheep.

Laramie, Wyo.-A clash between the
cattlemen and sheepmen took place
thirty miles south of here, in which the
cowboys succeeded in capturing fifteen
sheep herders and killing 5000 head OF
sheep. The captured herders were tied
TO trees, where they remained all night.
Their camp and equipment were
burned.
The trouble is the old one OF the
range, the passage of a large band Oh
sheep, killing the grass. and the cat'
tlemen demand that no sheep be per-
mitted to Craze on the range. Further
trouble is expected, as the sheepmen
say that they will refuse to be run out.
All parties are armed.
