What This Man Did Won Can Do.

Two years ago last March William
ii. Lindert, a young man. left Mime
sofa for the west with about 5000 cash
in his inside pocket. After lettering at
several points enroutc he finally reach
ed here on ST. Patrick's day, drove out
towards Leahy, picked out a homestead
hard by, filed on the same, and took an
inventory of what was left of the pile
he had when he left Jim Hills state
He found he had less than $40. Next
day he went to work for Judge T. w.
Lane on Pleasant Hill for $50 month
Worked there two months and then
rented the place, at the same time
agreeing to pay Mr.. Lane $500 for his
outfit of farming machinery, stock and
the like. He summer fallowed The
place last year and put in the crop this
year. In the meantime he rented Cor
nehl &Valentine s state land and greatly
improved his homestead. AS a result
of less than IS months work Mr.. Lind
ert has 81, 900 in cash: horses, wagons
and farm machinery worth fully S. 900
in the open market, and improvements
on his homestead worth $500, besides
plenty of hay and grain for his stock
for the next ten months. Next year he
will devote most of his attention to his
homestead. Such is life in northern
Douglas county.-Bridgeport Post.

In No Danger.

1t Is no secret that some of those who
have paid the biggest prices for pure
bred live stock i'm the west are In finan-
cial difficulties. They have "loaded
up with high priced animals and can
not sell except at n heavy sacrifice.
They have tied up their capital, and
more. too, in stock which they bought
at inflated prices. A pure bred animal
Is the same as any other investment
Its value must come at last TO the basis
of what IL can pay It's owner. On this
basis good many fancy bred animals
have sold too high in the past three
years. But there are few men who
have paid more than the animals were
worth because there are comparative
ly few live stock breeders who are rot
conservative business men. The in
dustry is In no danger from such spec.
ulators. In fact, most stockmen err
on the other side and are not willing
to pay what pure bred animal is
really worth to them.--Natlonal Stock.

Christ and the Common People.

l don't wonder that the common peo-
pie have ever felt a deep interest in Je-

command the love and respect Of every
man who has spirit to appreciate true
nobility. He possessed a moral cour-
age which was most attractive charm.
Do not think of him as all gentleness
and tenderness. with scheme of re.

courage Of his convictions How he
maze the proud Pharisees quail under

A DELIBERATE MAN.
He Ate His Full Dinner and Caught
the stage az Well.

the Stage ns Well.
Charles Stuart, one time senator from
Michigan, was travelling by stage
through his own state The weather
was bitterly cold, the snow deep, the
roads practically unbroken. The stage
was nearly one hour late at the dinner
station, everybody was more or less
cross and in hurry and the situation
uncomfortable to the last degree.
Senator Stuart sat down to his din
ner with his usual deliberation, not
withstanding the word that was pass
ed around, Fifteen minutes for re-
freshments."
When he had finished his first CUP of
coffee the passengers were leaving the
table. By the time the second cup ar
rived the stage was at the door. "Au
aboard" shouted the driver. The SEN
ator fingered and called for third cup
of coffee. The crowd laughed and
flung back chaff at the deliberate man
Mt the table.
While the household, as was the Gus
tom. assembled at the door to see the
stage drive away, the senator contin-
ued calmly drinking his coffee. Sud-
denly, just as the stage started, there
was a violent pounding on the dining
room table, and the landlord hurried
in, to find that the senator wanted q
dish of rice pudding. When it came
he called for a spoon, but there wasn't
q spoon to be found.
THAT shock headed fellow took 'em:

the landlady.

consist Of curb boxes twelve inches in

This method Of draining is regarded
as highly successful by the farmers of
the vicinity who have witnessed the
reclamation OF the land SO treated. The
individual well and drain as used in
the work described are shown in the
first figure. The method is simple. Its
efficiency consists in relieving the pres

also in L.. liz such quantity that |
the gravel stratum underlying the
tract will provide for the remainder.
Drains upon another plan have been
used by j. Hctzel and others In the vi
cinity Of Longmont, Colo. A continu-
Gus line of underdrains is laid cross
