EXPRESS COMPANY PROFITS

No commission VIII ever be able TO
on. OF the carrying business III thIa
,u.ltry, but the recent handing out OF
$z4,Uuu,UO0 OF surplus pronts by the
Adams Express company reveals one
branch of it which has made many of
our multlmillionaires. Within ten
years $36,vOO,OOV have been paid to
shareholders of this company in addi-
ton to regular annual dividends,
which may represent as high as 40
or so per cent return on the capital
actually invested in the bus
Others of the big express COM
panies are paying large dividends.
In one way and another the officials is
the express companies are linked
with the railroads. 1t transp.ra1 asst
summer that Hartman was q heavy
owner of express company stock and
able to manipulate the vast surplus of
one of the transcontinental corpora
tons Aside from the question as to
the reasonableness Of the rates
charged by the express companies,
there is point TO consider IN the
iupiication of the work and cost and
a division of profits under the pres
ent system. The railroads carry the
express freight without provid ng
extra facilities. They could handle
some of the business themselves and
thereby add to their own profits,
which they claim TO be so small as
BOT to justify reduction in rates; also
some of the money going into the
$24,ccO,00O watermelon would have
gone to the postal department if we
had parcels post system. Mr.. Hill
says that the railroads are not max
ing money enough to keep their
plants up to the capacity demanded
by the country's business. Charges
are made that ra lroad demands fol
carrying the mails are excessive in
some cases. That somebody is max
ing big money out of the railroad
plants is shown by the express profits
II part Of those profits should go tc
the railroad owners the roads anG
eventually the who;e people would BE-
gamers.

make him as robust and active as our OWE
Lone Star State young men.
His duties as a "rounder" had been to
assist in rounding up" and driving into the
car chutes such cattle as were shipped there,
hence he was as familiar with the handling
of pony, lariat and cattle whip as any other
eighteen-y year-old lad of my acquaintance.
1 felt SO much interest in his welfare that
concluded to accompany him on his search,
there being no one else to do so.
After an early dinner, we mounted our
ponies and set out on swinging gallop to-
ward the main stream of the Cmarron, in
which direction the bull had gone.
The prairies were slightly rolling, and,
mounting one of the swells, we saw far to
the south the smoke of the emigrant camp
where the child was hurt, and, westward,
gathering up the stampeded cattle.
The Cimarron River is far from being a
picturesque stream. For the most part, it
flows through a fiat and uninteresting coun
and miniature canyons are found, at the
bottom of which the river makes its bed,
Near where we struck the stream the land
was stony. and rock islands stood in the mid
die of it.
"Hes along the river somewhere" said
look for our prize.
"Let's go farther up stream" was my sug-
gestion. 49,, :.
And for half an hour our ponies hoofs

"Hark!" exclaimed Paul. going back to a
New England expetive in his excitement
Hear him bellow!"
There was a deep bass sound floating on
the air-iust where it came from l could not
determine.
We rode to the river bank, and following
the stream, which was here quite crooked,
found that the banks rose to bluffs and
then to canyon sides, while the sound evident
ly was nearer and its source just ahead.
Tying our ponies to scrubby cottonwood
tree, we crept carefully forward, and, round
ing turn in the canyon, saw the object of
our search
| did not much blame Denzer for wanting
to exhibit the animal. As he stood knee
deep in the clear, smooth-howing river, he
looked like some fabulous creature dropped
from the pages of classic poem.
At intervals that roaring bass sound was
sent forth as if to call some army of which he
thought himself the leader. His eyes were
dilated to their fullest measure, and he seemed
gazing intently at sandhill owl digging its
nest or hole in the side of the bluff.
"You can never catch him." | whispered
to my companion. "Let me shoot"
"No, no. he urged, as l rised my rife.
"Give me chance"
In few words he outlined to me his plan
for the animals capture.
"There is rock island at the other end of
the canyon-I saw it from the bluff. / will
90 around the hill and station myself on the
island You scare the bull, and, as he comes
by, I'll lasso him, and then we'll tie him up
somewhere"
1t seemed feasible, and / nodded my head
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-23

in acceptance of the proposition.
In a twinkling Paul was off, and~1 was left
watching the white bull alone.
The animal stood for awhile in the water,
lashing his sides occasionally with tail, the
siken hairs of which made a magnificent
brush. AS he waded out, and began feeding
on the bank l noticed that they swept the
ground for twelve inches or more.
Whether his nostrils told him of my pres
ence, or whether the unwonted excitement of
the day had made him suspicious, for Some
reason the bull raised his head at short inter
walls and took look around with his wild,
piercing eyes.
The same action was repeated with more
intensity when sharp whistle, that l knew
to be Pauls signal, pierced the air.
In answer | stepped out from my cover,
and in moment occupied a position almost
exactly in the middle of the canyon, the river
having its bed at one side, near the opposite
bluff.
Imperiousy the animal fixed his eyes upon
me and paved the turf with one white-hoofed
foot, like startled sheep or deer.
| advanced toward him, not exactly sure
whether he would retreat or come at me.
Finally he did the former, though with many
had gone perhaps forty rods before l saw
Paul
The bull was well in advance of me and
saw his other foe at the same instant
Paul was standing upon a jagged table
rock, about six by eight feet, lariat in hand
and blouse and cowboy hat fluttering in the
Texas breeze.
The bull hesitated for a moment, not GER
tain which was his safer course-to charge
on me, who was on land, or to attempt to
pass Paul, who was separated from him by
water.
The latter was chosen, and with another
impatient stamp of the forefoot, he pranced
rather than trotted forward.
As he neared point opposite Paul's sta
tion saw the cleaning coils of the rawhide
lariat swing in three quickening circles about
the boys head, and then the long loop sail
away over the water toward the bank.
The bull was there at the same time, and
so well had the throw been calculated that
the rope settled down directly over those
spreading horns and frightened with snap
that / heard distinctly, though many rods
away.
Paul had prepared for the tightening of
the lariat and fastened the other end to a
large stone.
He supposed the bull would, animal like,
stand still and tug at his bonds never dream
ing of loosening them by going forward
1t was unsuccessful theory.
No sooner did the maddened creature real
ize that he was held by a rope from the rock
island than he rushed into the stream and
splashed vigorously toward it.
Paul was too much astounded by this ac-
tion to decamp, and, indeed, as the water
was very deep on the other side, there was
little for him to do but hold his ground.
In moment, and before |, who was yet
some distance away, could realize what had
taken place, the bull was upon the island
and preparing to impale his adversary.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-23

| 1t was not a promising situation. Paul
had no weapons, and the furious eyes of the
savage beast were not reassuring.
| With a roar the bull bounded forward, his
| feet slipping little upon the wet rocks.
! This uncertain footing gave Paul some ad-
vantage, and nerving himself for the ordeal he
waited until the animal was almost upon him,
when he seized, with all the force his mus
cles could exert, the shining, tapering horns,
which were his antagonists chief weapons
of attack.
The bull pressed forward, and Paul slipping,
fell upon the rock, the two horns forming an
arch over his body, as he held their points
to the ground.
Believing with anger, the bull jerked back
and Paul was on his feet. Again charge,
and again the long-spreading horns struck
from injuring the lighter and more agile form.
Retreat the bull could not without tum-
bling into the water; to advance was equally
out OF the question on that slippery rock;
durance, the youth was master of the situa-
ton.
1 had reached the opposite bank and raised
my rifle to shoot, when l remembered that
ing the bull instantly, and if he was wounded,
his wrath and strength would be doubled
and Paul would certainly be killed. With a
splash 1 was through the shallow stream and
stood beside the duelists, if SO they might
be called.
Like flash then came to my mind an old
trick that we boys used to practice with un-
ruly cattle, when it was necessary to brand
them or saw off their horns.
had not thought of it since the days when,
upon an Ohio farm, | "did chores" and
helped my father with the work.
Loosening the lariat from the stone to
which it had been tied, / whirled it around
the bulls hind legs and drew upon the end.
His head, which was pinning poor Paul to
the earth, was switched sidewise, and the
feet being at the same time pulled from be-
meath him, the animal fell upon his side
Paul leaped to his feet, and still holding
the horns, bore them to the surface of the
rock, when we had our prize at our mercy
1t took but a moment to so hobble the ami
NAL, by means of the lariat, that he could
walk and yet not be able to do any damage
nor have an opportunity of escaping.
Tied behind my pony, with Paul bringing
up the rear of the procession. we took our
way homeward, arriving after nightfall.
We placed our capture in the railway COM
panys cattle yards, and in the morning turned
him over to Denzer.
He was as good as his word, and handed
Paul two ffty-dollar bills. More than that,
he offered him a position as manager of the
bull on his way to the Chicago Live Stock
Show, to take him there and see that he was
placed properly on exhibition.
The start thus obtained was improved, until
while not among the wealthiest or most nota-
BILE dealers of the Lake City, he became one
of the most successful and prosperous, and he
has often related how the whole current of
his life was changed by his encounter with
wild Texas bull %

So occupied were we that we were the last
to hear the latest news regarding the coming

that the cattle were scattered, nobody knew
where. But that was not all. In the STAN

the owner of the herd intended to ship East
