HoIding wheat for a DoiIar.

YORK, Neb.. May 1b.-(special.) --YorlN
county farmers claim credit for the farm
ers' organization for part of the raise in
the price of wheat. 1t lie not generally
known, but It is fact. that large per
cent of the farmers of Nebraska and other
wheat growing states have an organization
and they are holding their wheat for 81
per bushel. Although wheat has advanced
considerably here In price In the local
market, elevator men report nothing doing.
Farmers claim that they are not going to
let go of their wheat unless they get 81 a
bushel. York county farmers are fortunate
in having thousands Of bushels in their
granaries, and owing to the general pros
perity here, none Of them are obliged to
sell until such time as the price is
right.

Not only Is much care exercised In

carcass Is cut up 1t is divided in such
a way as to insure that In each piece
given to the animals there is a bone.
Otherwise the lions. tigers and other
big carnlvora would swallow the piece
whole, which would be bad even for
their iron dlgestions. The presence Of
the bone compels them to take bites at
the flesh, which they pick from the
bone with their claws aud teeth. lick

Richard Mansfield, when mere bog,
was playing the leading role IN q
tragedy, In the last scene OF which he
was strangied. Sometimes. however.
the actor who was to simulate stran-
CLING him became too realistic. Several
times he nearly incapacitated the prin-
cipal player for finishing his great
scene. II came 10 such a pass that
drastic measures had TO be taken. One
evening. In the greenroom, Mansfield
sidled up to the muscular player who
was to strangle him. The latter noted
a strange addition to Mansheld's cos
tune. Instead of the collaret OF lace
II was his wont to wear. bound about
his neck was a leather band thickIy
studded with prongs.
"And what Ii that for7" he asked.
ooh, thatT replied Mansfield. with
the rising infection and a smile in his
voice; that il merely a tribe. a mere
tribe to defer the collection OF my life
insurance. Most inconvenlently the
healthy condition OF my neck and
throat is necessary for the pursuance
OF my profession and the earning Of
my daily bread"
The other actor saw the point and
apologIzed. Mansfield took on the col
lar and never after suffered at his
companion players hands in the big
scene
