FORTUNE FROM SHEEP.
Chance Showed Colorado Man the Way
to Wealth

Senator William A. Drake of Fort
Collins has Il record Of which any man
might be proud. During the past three
months he has added another small for
time to his already large bank account,
and has cleared 100000 handling sheep.
brakes financial career may thus be
1890: Fed 2000 sheep: sold 10000
sleep; owned a log hut; in debt $1,000.
1905: Fed 1900 sheep: sold 10000
sheep; wealthiest man III Larimer couu-
ty: dictates stock and agricultural legis-
lGtion.
Lamb feeding and farming occupy the
time aud attention of Drake when lie is
not in the Legislature debating the stock
and agricultural legislation. When to
buy and when 70 sell is the secret of the
whole thing" says Drake If we could
learn that by reading Il book everybody
would he Il farmer and sheep raiser. bat
those are things learned only by expert
ence
Lamb feeding as business was first
begun i'll this state by Drake Fifteen
years ago trainload of sheep on the
way from New Mexico to Nebraska to
be fed was Sn0Wbound on the divide.
Tile sheep were starving when they
were driven to brakes little plot of
ground near Fort Collins and fed. That
gave Drake ideas, and the next year he
first lot he fed by accident numbered
2000. The second numbered 1000. The
people of the state heard of it and awoke
to the possibility of feeding sheep at
home instead of shipping them to Ne
braska and other states. The result is
that today there are 100000 sheep fed
annually for market in the state \
little less than half that number. 49,
600. are fed in Larimer county, where
the work of feeding them in this state
first began.
I'VE get about 50 head season for
feeding them" said Drake. Some years
we don't make anything, some years -
cents head"
Twenty years ago Drake came 10 Cole
RADIO and lived in a one-room log hut
near Fort Collins. For years he strug-
gled along. trying to secure land and
getting deeper i'll debt Suddenly the
light dawned when the snowbound sheep
led him down a pathway that had been
hidden to him.-Denver (Colo.) Post.

Silkworm Culture in Ceylon.

From recent experiments conclusive
proof has been obtained that silk of ex-
cellent quality can be raised in. Ceylon
and samples of cocoOns raised at Pera-
deniya from European seed have been
classed by Il European expert as second
only 10 the best Italian silk. Hitherto
all experiments have been on small
scale, limited partly by the comparative
scarcity of mulberry trees. The time
seems now to have arrived when more
extensive operations might be under
taken with advantage. and it is proposed
to create an experimental silkworm rear

Not many of those You meet have The

Nearly every one who rolls an am

The proper way is 10 take hold of the

THE FISHER OF NIPPON.

Where now the brownie fisher-lad?
His hundred thousand fishng-boats
Rock idly in the reedy moats:
His baby wife no more is glad.
But yesterday, with all Nippon,
Beneath his pink white cherry trees,
In chorus with his brown, sweet bees,
He careless sang, and sang right on.
Take care. for he has ceased to sing;
His startled bees have taken wing,
His cherry blossoms drop like blood;
His bees begin to storm and sting;
His seas flash lightning. and flood
of crimson stains their wide, white ring
His battlpships helch hell. and all
Nippon Is but one Spartan wall.
Ave he. the boy of yesterday,
Now holds the bearded Russ at bay;
While bloss0md sleeps above, the clouds
Wait idly. still. as waiting shrouds.

joaquin Miller in the Century.

Interesting Features Of Dissolution of
Body at Budapest,

BUDAPEST, January 3.-The Hungarian
parliament died hard. Its expiring strug-
giles today were continued for nearly three
hours, with two intermissions, and came to
an end amid scenes of disorder and jeers
from the opposition. The president opened
the session by reading letter from Premier
Tisza, announcing that the emperor-king
would receive the deputies at the Hofburg
at noon tomorrow and read the speech from
the throne. Gala dress was prescribed for
the occasion. officers to wear their car
fridge pouches, an announcement which
called out great laughter.
Francis Kossuth leader of the independ-
ent party, then arose and made a d1gmhed
protest against the dissolution of parlia-
ment Premier Tisza sat opposite him, i'm
passive, and appeared to be bored by the
whole proceedings. Once the premier
smiled, provoking remark from kossuth
that he would not smile when the elections
were over.
After Kossuth had ended Premier TisZa
rose to reply amid storm of Interruptions
from the opposition. The premier spoke
very briefly. declaring the government was
quite ready to take the responsibility for Its
actions. He referred slightingly to the
"antics of the Opereta revolutionaries.
Count Albert Apponyi followed with long
arguments against the unconstitutional and
Illegal acts of the government. Ex-Premier
Banffy then rose to speak, whereupon Pre-
mier Tisza and all his followers left the
house, returning later only for few mo-
ments.
After Baron Banffy had spoken Herr
Polonyi of the Kossuth party made a mo-
ton to cite the minister of justice before
the house to give an explanation OF the
governments action in dissolving parlia-
ment.
