..The Ninety and Nine.0


''The Ninety and Nine." >.
There were ninety and nine that safely
lay
In the shelter of the fold;
But one was out on the hills away,
Far off from the gates of gold,
Away on the mountains wild and bare,
Away from the tender Shepherds care.
Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and
nine;
Are they not enough for thee?"
But the Shepherd made answer: "'Tis
of mine
Has wander'd away from me;
And although the road be rough and
20 to the desert to find my sheep"
But none of the ransom'd ever knew
How deep were the waters cross'd,
Nor how dark was the night that the
Lord passed through
Ere he found his sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert he heard its cry
| Sick and helpless, and ready to die.
Lord. whence are those blood-drops all
the way,
That mark out the mountain track"
'They were shed for one who had gone
astray
Ere the Shepherd could bring him
back
Lord. whence are thy hands SO rent and
torn?'
thorn"
But all through the mountains, thunder
riven.
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose cry to the gate of heaven,
Rejoice! I have found my sheep"
And the angels echoed around the throne,
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his
own!

He DESTROYS sEcRETa

Queer Business of Man Who Reduces
Account Books to Pulp.
Il have just paid a few cents a
pound for old books and papers for
which some one in this town would
give thousands Of dollars" said a
downtown paper manufacturer a few
days ago to the New York Sun, and
he told the truth.
A large part of his business consists
Of destroying confidential papers for
business houses, banks, brokers or any
one else who can furnish enough to
bother with.
The paper man pays for this valu-
able old paper only a few cents a
pound. That is all it is worth to him
for reduction into pulp. His rates are
a bit lower, perhaps, than those of the
junkman, but with his purchase he
gives a guaranty that nothing he buys
shall ever be read or examined.
A list of his customers which he
gives for reference is pretty good proof
that he keeps his word and that the
secrets of the waste-paper bags never
leak out. The reference list shows
that the manufacturer has destroyed
books, papers, etc., for about twenty
banks, half as many insurance com.
panies, dozen bankers and brokers,
several of the big wholesale dry goods
firms and a large number Of retailers
How do you destroy this valuable
paper and make sure that nobody gets
hold of it?" the manufacturer was
asked.
ut isn't allowed to pass through
very many hands," was the answer
"and the men who do take care Of Il
are ignorant. Some of them cannot
read, but they would not have chance
to CLEAN much out Of our waste If they
could
when we get an order from a firm
to destroy its books and papers we

The bindings are ripped off the books
their pages are torn apart and they
are stuffed into bags along with let

1.-THE bags are sealed and put aboard

at our factory in Connecticut, and the
seals are not broken until the bags arr

1.-THE papers are dumped into this
which reduces them to a pulp. An
other process cleans the ink from tn,

I'm dead sure that our guarantee ha
never been broken.

A Curious Advertisement.

An old London paper contains the
following curious advertisements

thirty years Of age to be a footman
and underbutler in great family. He
must be Of the Church of England
and have had the smallpox in the nat
ural way. Also woman, middle-aged
to wait upon young lady Of great

Railway Rate Legislation.

At the biennial convention of the Or
der of Railway Conductors recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing their
sentiments as to the effect of proposed
s railway rate legislation on the 1,30O,-
600 railroad employees, whom they in
part. represented. These resolutions
endorse the attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates.
and other illegalities, and commend the
attitude of the heads of American rail-
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have joined with the president on this
question" They then respectfully
point out to congress the "inadvisa-
bility OF legislation vesting in the
hands of a commission power over rail-
way rates, now lower by far in the
United States than in any other coun-
try" because such regulation would
"result in litigation and confusion and
inevitably tend to an enforced reduc-
tion in rates, irrespective'ef the ques-
tion of the ability of the railroads to
stand the reduction, especially in view
of the increased cost of their supplies
and materials" They further pro-
tested against such power being given
to the present Interstate commission
because ''the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea of Amer
lean jurisprudence, inasmuch as 1t con-
templates that a single body shall have
the right to investigate, indict, try,
condemn and then enforce its decisions
at the cost of the carriers, pending ap-
peal, which is manifestly inequitable. -
The conductors base their demand
for only such Hesitation, if any, as
would fsecure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation "is the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de.
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been give1
to the value of intelligence among em.
pleyes in contrast to foreign methods
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claims against leg
islation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that "the freigh
rates of this country average only two
per cent of the cost of articles to thu
consumer, thus making the freight rat'
30 insignificant a factor in the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at the same price in all part
of the country

GOLDEN COW Is DEAD.

And a Whole Town Is in Mourning for
the Costly Animal.
Mrs. Rice's cow is dead and the en-
tire population of Goldfeld, New, is
in mourning, says correspondent to
the St. Paul Pioneer Press. She was
the only cow in the gold-bearing dis
trict. AS not a spear of grass nor a
herb Of any description grows in this
desert region that would furnish fod-
der to even a goat Mrs. Rice's cow
subsisted exclusively on hay that costs
500 a ton. Even the milk which
reaches the burg from Reno, two days
old, sold for 81 quart; SO this foun-
tain right sin their midst" was a
cherished institution.
When Mrs. Rice decided to risk
nearly all she possessed in the impor-
tation of this cow she realized that she
was riSking it for a big prize. The
journey of 'Bossy" was long and tedi-
GUS, partly by rail on slow freights,
part of the distance tied to the rear
end Of mule freighters, trudging over
the alkali desert. But the enterprising
widow was rewarded one day about
three months ago when her cow was
delivered safely in Goldfeld.
That was a gala day in the town
The COW was only an ordinary Jersey
long horned and red, but was an OBJ
| ject of greater curiosity than if it had
been a specimen Of some prehistoric
age The demand was SO great for 6
| sight of the gentle creature that Mrs
Rice consented to allow her treasure
| to be paraded through the main thor
oughfares shortly after its arriva.
Never did circus parade in coun
try village create more real ~enthus
iasm. Business was practically sus
pended during the hour Of the cere
mony. The miners followed in tn,
wake of the COW, cheering wildly
Merchants ran from their tented store
with ribbons and flags, until her cow
ship was decorated more gaudily thai
a May day queen.
| Following close on this incident
new tent appeared on the main stree,
in front of which was a crude sigl
| with inscription:
| Fresh ice cream and milk shake
from Mrs. Rice's cow"
It was business acumen worthy o
genius. Mrs. Rice was the envy o
every merchant in town: Her estat
lishment was thronged day and even
ing. The supply inexhaustible, yet n
one had the temerfty to question oper
ly the genuineness of the delicacie
served.
When Mrs. Rice failed to rnt in a
appearance as usual one morning IL
quiry developed that the cow had die
suddenly during the night. There wa
CONSERVATION in the camp.
No reason for its death could be al
signed.
1t was suggested that some jealou
rival among the saloon men, who's
business was affected by the cow
supply, might have poisoned the beas
but this was shouted down as too il
famous for Goldfield.
