BE PATIENT, AND PERsEvERE.

Are you walking in ways of sin, leaving often
your higher life to grovel in the mire of earth?
O be not ungratefu to that wonderful love that en-
virons you! Are you living life of careless in
and low self-seeking? You are turning your back
on heaven opening to win you Or are you, while
aspiring and striving for the better things and the
fuller life. sad at heart because God is yet far of

persevere Never was there such cause for patience

shat cross between the Angora goat
ard the common goat would be vain.
I able IN this country. The Angora is
far more promising Of profit than
either the e'common goat or cross be-
eWeen thc.tw The fleece Of the An
CORA goat 'is in demand at all times,
and brings good prices, while the
commonsgoat constitutes nothing of
che kind. :, The flesh OF the Angors
goat is more nutritious than that of
che Ecommon goat. 1t is said that
! shere is an entire absence of the
odor OF the common goats in the Ar
CORA variety.
Secretary Wilson is surprised that
ehere are not more goats for milk pur-
poses in the United States. He says
chat it's common thing in other
countries for the milk of the goat to
oe used, and that it is rich and pala-
table. The few goats which are keIt
IN the United States for milk produc.
ton are of the common breed. He
says that there is one man in New
Jersey who has had great success q
developing the common goat into
clean, hardy and healthful mich ami
NAL. This man has several goats
which give at least two or three quarts
day, and have period of lactation
OF four to six months. The quality of
the milk from the common goat is as
good as that from any other and "the
healthfulness of the goats milk is
everywhere acknowledged and recon-

Breed Goats, Says Wilson.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Secretary
wilson believes that big mistake
Ia beng made in not breeding goats in
thia country. He says that $25 600 :
ooo In goat skins are imported into
the United States each year, and he
says that this alone is evidence that
we have 2 splendid market rot oaly
for goat meat but goat skins. He
says that the only thing that might
preclude the establishment Of g paving
Industry in this country is that much
pains are required, and that these
might not be taken. Most of the goat
skins that come here are for the man
ufacture Of shoes, although large
quantities are made into clothes and q
good deal into morocco leather. The
figures show that the skins which
came in during the last year we're
worth on an average Of 20 cents per
pound, The skins come in bales Of
l0O each and are dry. They are as
sorted into grades by the tanner.
While it is generally agreed among
those who speak from experience, +"
said Secretary Wilson, "that all kind S
of breeds Of goats are dclicacy, it is
true that among the great mass Of
the people of this country there is a
prejudice against anything bearing
the name Of goat. Within the en-
vironmcnts Of all the larger cities are
found many kids, and it is evident
that only few Of them grow to ma
turity. What becomes of them?"
The Secretary strongly intimate S
that butchers and meat dealers fre.
Guently pass them over their con Mt ers
as Lamb" and says no meat dealer
has yet heard any complaints as to tn e
quality of this lamb" He goes on
to say that considerable number Of
goats are purchased by the large
packing establishments of the coun.
try and sold either in carcass or can.
ned, as mutton. Many people who
decry goat meat have unconsciously
eaten 1t many times. The meat may
not be as palatable as the best of nut.
ton, but is as good, if not better than
poor mutton.
Secretary Wilson declares that tho
flesh of mature goat is not at all
palatable to those who have taste
it, but that the meat of kid is splen.
did, and it ought to become more com.
monty used in this country. It is
safe to say that the existing preju.
dice against it would disappear if the
people were to taste it and in time
good market ought to be built up for
all that can be produced. I believe it
would pay to raise goats, especially
if there should bs demand for the
flesh Of kids as food"
Nearly any land in the United
States is suitable for goat raising, ex.
cept low, swampy land. Goats like
to browse and are fond of grass and
weeds. Therefore tracts that are
ovcrgrown with brush and briars are
especially desirable. It would be
necessary in the winter time to sup.
ply food, but even then the soft twias
remain for the goats to browse upon.
There ore millions of acres of land in
the United States suitable for goat

BIRDS AND ENGINES.
Kansas

"llow many people realize sal
an old Missouri Pacific engineer at
the Union station few nights ago,
that when they are riding across the
country in limited trains, they are
going faster than bird flies? And
how many Of them know that the
run of q fast train for trip Of 300
miles causes the death Of from one to
six birds?'
Not trip is made across Missouri
by any Of the fast trains tha, one or
more birds are not killed in it's flight.
When the fast mail trains come in
from their runs frequently one Of the
little feathcrcd tribe is found lodged
in some nook upon the engine. y
little tuft Of feathers, clinging to the
iron monster, tell where a life was
taken. Engineers say that if they
get within ten feet Of a bird before it
rises from the roadway it will DC kill

they say, bcwlder it.

we were sliding along with an easy

birds were out on the dry railroad

The confidence displayed by both
sides in the Hearst fight is really in
spring. 1t is sure indication that
the contest in the convention next
Wednesday, will be very bitter and
very close. til is as pretty a fight as
ever was seen in politics.
The gold fellows display the most
skill. They manipulate much more
easily. Their work is smoother. Du-
buque county is sample. There the
caucuses indicated that the Hearst and
silver combination was winner. The
delegates seemed to be sure to be for
Hearst in the county convention.
Hearst Was Buncoed.
But the Hearst fellows were bun
coed, to use a coarse expression. The
delegates who had been chosen to the
county convention in fact were not I'M
biased but were we'll understood to
be against Hearst instructions when
they were suggested to the Hearst fell
lows as compromise members of the
convention. That was where the
Hearst managers fell down. 1t resem-
bles some of the arbitration agree
ments that are put up by corporations
and other people.
Fooled in Lee County.
Lee county was another place where
the Silver and Hearst crowd was badly
fooled. Surprising that they had the
convention in the palm of their hands
they went to it last Thursday with con-
fidence and serenity. They came out
the little end of the horn, for the con
vention voted down Hearst instruc-
tons. Whereas the Hearst men had
counted twenty votes in that county
they cannot hope to have more than
ten. ~,
Looks Like Hearst Loses.
And so it has gone all over the state
And Thursday night Manager Maxwell
admitted that Hearst now had but nine
more than enough to nominate him
| If the Hearst managers admit that
their candidate has only a bare major
ity of the delegates, it may be put down
| for certain that he is beaten. OF course
| twenty-six conventions are to be hello
today and next week. which will in
crease the Hearst claims on the basis
of last Thursdays figures.
The belief is that the Hearst men are
beaten.
