THE CATTLE COUNTRY

A report from the cattle country of
northwest Nebraska says that Helen
Grey, Il representative of Golfers
Weekly, has been riding the range for
weeks in an effort to get at the true
story of the great cattle war which Is
just now being waged between the
cattle interests on the one side and
the administration on the other The
war has been waged furiously by
President Roosevelt, in chopping OFF
heads of office holders and in causing
the arrests of cattlemen, and Miss
Grey says the state will be anti -Roose.
welt next fall.
The whole trouble has come about
through the fact that the cattlemen
have been using more government
land than is ordinarily allowed to an
individual according to homestead
laws. All of sudden the administra.
ton has awakened and found that
laws are being, and had been violat,
ed, regarding fences and the use of
government land for the past fifteen
years. Never until this year have
the cattlemen been arrested for VIC,
lation of this law and they had come
to believe that it was their right tC
use the lands. Certainly it was their
right, in one point of view, and they
have been misrepresented and perse
cuted because of the fact that they
did use these lands.

Fishes Defensive Armor,

Two fairly well defended creatures now
before me serve to explain that fish are
generally seized as prey from above, be-
cause nature invariably puts the armor
where it is most needed. One of these is
the horned shark, which has two defen-
sive spears, each high up on a separate
dorsal fin; and the other is the trigger
fish.
In both cases the bayonets are ointed
for the enemy as when battalion receives
the order to prepare to receive cavalry.
But the trigger fish has sort of pocket
knife attachment for his. 1t folds down
into a groove which reaches along his
back, exactly as the blaze Of penknife
may be turned down when its use is not
required.
The trigger fish is huge head propelled
by short, broad tail with no interme-
diate body to speak of; and in this ques
