TREsPAssING CATTLE.

There is usually one man in every
gent in the matter of keeping his
cattle in proper bounds. Sometimes
a stronger word than carelessness is
used in describing this neglect. AS
a rule this particular business of cat
tie that forages on the country at
large is accompanied by the poorest
bull in the community, says the
Farmer. There are few farmers that
have not had sore experience along
this line. The chances are that some
of those farmers who happen to read
this article can look out of the window
and see some of the neighbor's cows
tramping down good stand of clover
or tearing UP the corn shocks. There
is just one way to handle this kind
Of trouble. The first step is to noti-
fly the offender that his estrays are
looked upon as nuisance. If this
notice does not bring the right kind
of treatment the next thing to do is
to put the stock up where they can
not get away and keep them there
till their owner owner calls, for them.
If even this fails to bring about the
desired result the only thing to. do
is to take advantage of the law.
When it costs man money to let
his cattle stray he is going to find
some way to keep them at home. Tres
passing cattle are a great. nuisance
and the stray bull is the pest of the
neighborhood. Look up the law and
make it a point to correct the trou-
BILE. Do not worry about spelling the
friendship of the neighbor. A neigh
Dor is not a good neighbor unless he
observes your rights.

SOMEWHERE.

gAere's a whisper in the branches OF
the heaven rearing pines,
And purple blossom smiling from
behind the clinging vines;
There's the chatter of chipmunk, as
he leaps from tree to tree,
While the daisies yonder whisper:
Come out here and play with
me-"
There's a path, a winding ribbon, just
the clover fields beyond,
That goes stealing through the mead
ows to the distant pick'rel pond;
There's the cool, dank, grateful shad-
ows; there's the lazy, droning
bee,
And fancy them sa-saying: Come
out here and play with me-"
There's an orchard where the frag-
rance of the fields come lifting
sweet,
Where the sod is velvet tenderness to
pavement weary feet;
There are songs, without restraint,
from songsters winging to the
blue,
And each feathered throat is singing
of it's song at me and you!
There's quaint, old-fashioned garden
with its peas and hollyhocks,
And it's blushing, loving roses, timid
pansies, flaming phlox;
And a sweet, old fashioned lady, with
a blossom in her hair,
Winding in and out among them,
watching every one with care.
And the dear old-fashioned lady, with
her crown of wavy snow,
Beams a smile and huns love song
as she patters to and fro.
And it's oh, so sweet-the dreaming!
They're so much of life part,
For they've somehow found dwelling
here within rugged heart.

INCREASING THE FARMERS
PROFITS,

1t is estimated that there is pos.
sible gain of ffve-fold in the earning
capacity of each farm laborer above
his present income. Practically the
whole gain is due to the following
plan-ill the soil with humus; pre-
pare a deeper and more thoroughly
pulverized seed bed; better seed;
proper fertilization; more cultivation;
the use of stronger teams, better ma.
chinery and tools; and utilize the idle
lands by grazing.-Dr. Knapp.

A THIEFS DEBT
OF HONOR.

Free once more, Juan Verdugo left
the court room. The man was GER
tainly guilty-his record was about as
bad as a record can be made In thirty
six years, and the moral and circum-
stantial evidence of his guilt was ap-
pallinsv PLAN.
But in Mexico the criminal law does
not recognize circumstantial evidence
nor moral certainty. Not without
some difficulty, and considerable
courteous insistence on this point, the
young licenciado, Valentin Rivas, con-
WINGED the court that the notorious
and ill-favored bandit was at least
technically innocent of the latest
crimes charged to him-a highway
robbery to which no witnesses could
be produced, for the beautifully sim
Pile reason that he had killed them.
His client acquitted, the young IL
cenciado Rivas gathered up his books
and papers, and sauntered out of the
door of the Palace of Justice "a down.
at-heel adobe structure on the plaza
of the little border town. and down
the sprawling, untidy street to his
house. Waiting at his gate stood
Juan Verdugo, his hat held humbly
in his hand, an ugly sheer curling his
SCARED lip.
The young lawyer paused, and
glanced at him coldly. "Well-and
what is it?"
''Senor, it is but this. have no
money. The judge-bah!-we are OF
a feather, he and The stole the
money that l took from those lech-
ones, those milksops out there on the
road I'm sorry now killed them.
But it is thus l have no money TO
pay you, and this, senior, is what
wish to say"
1T is nothing; I did not expecs
money. Your thanks will be enough"
"Senor," Juan Verdugo spoke sharp
ly, an ugly glare in his bloodshot eyes,
thanks are given by friends. Thou
art of the law, its upholder-the seat
of the Judge, the power to send men
to death will be thine. Thy friend l
am not, thy friend l will never be.
Yet will l pay thee well, for that ye
saved me from the DEATH" He turn
ed silently away into the gathering
dusk.
Weary with the days work, Valen-
tin Rivass turned from the packet of
papers before him with sigh. Three
years had added to his practice, and
other cases much more interesting
had brushed Verdugo's from his mind.
Occasionally it was recalled with Gym
ical amusement when some new out
rage, attributed to Verdugo, exasper.
ated the authorities and alarmed trav-
elers of the Canine Real. But to-
night his mind was busy with his

to send it to the express office by

errand would be to himself. He be-
lieved he had guarded the secret of
his proposed departure we'll; brave
man, he was serene in his mind.
The night was still and close, with
an intangible hint of storm to come.
Valentin Rivas, thoughtfully glancing
over some memoranda, was suddenly
startled by gentle scratching at the
doox. He held his breath, and strain
