Jim Wetherby-- Inventor.

Jim Wetherby was always dream
ing of inventions; and in his con.
versation with his friends, he
invariably alluded to something
great that he had in mind and
which, when finally perfected
would cause the people of the
world to build monuments in his
honor. By his friends he was
called "Tinkering" Jim, by casual
acquaintance, he was looked up
on with awe and admiration
looked upon as a man of prodi-
gious mentality, and who would
some day take his place among
the foremost inventors of the age.
Jim often discoursed learnedIy
on substitute he had in mind for
lumber, something that would be
OF prime necessity when our for
ests disappeared. But his ideas
never materialized; at least, he
never got beyond the theoretical
stage. His theory was that fex-
ible boards could be made out of
common clay, absolutely fireproof,
and almost indestructlble and at a
price cheaper than pine is sold
for. If his dream Of clay lumber
could have been realized, he surely
would have reaped a fortune.
But, alas! Jim had too many TO-
bust ideas in his head to make a |
of any of them. They
were all failures. Perhaps in the
hands of a more energetic person,
some of them could have been de-
veloped into practical and money
making enterprises.
One Of Jim's pet schemes con-

LOT longhorns he saw together
made him hold his breath, bu,
when he came to ride herd or
about twenty-five thousand he
commenced to think he had q
finger in the pie, and was helping
to feed the people of the United
States. There we're days and days
of cutting out. He was too green
a hand to more than hold the cut.
A rider would ride into the bunch,
zigzag thru it and bring out a
Triangle Dot COW with calf at
her heels. It was promptly roped,
thrown and branded.
Each cattle company has a rep
resentative present to see that
stock belonging to them gets the
company's brand. After they are
all separated into punches, each
outfit takes its own cattle, cuts out
all the beef steers, trails them to
the nearest stockyards. and sends
them to some Eastern market.
The first time Denny branded he
found he had two hundred head of
stock. After he had cut out his
beef cattle, he had fifty COWS and
forty head of calves. With the
proceeds of his beef and years
wages, he leased tract of range
land. In five years he leased more
land than Han k had and also
had more stock.
I will tell you why. Denny did
not have any more brains than you
or l, but when opportunity came
his way, he reached right out and
grabbed him. Sometimes he walks
past in disguise, SO we are not to
blame if we don't always recognize
him. Denny did when he bought
that carload of stock. If he had
not taken the chance, he would
never have had anything. A good
many of us have had the chance,
out we lacked the courage when
opportunity went by.
In due course of time Denny
Callahan became q cattle king.
He finally went back home where

market, and begun operations as

/ This instrument was intended to
prove blessing to all literary
persons. It is we'll known that
when man retires and before he
falls asleep, his mind seems to
think clearer. more concisely. and
more original than at any other
period during the day. This was
the case with Jim. All his best
ideas were conceived and mar
shaled in good order when that
massive head lay peacefully on a
pillow; but in the morning he
could only remember fragmentary
parts; the essentials, the keystone
to his structure, could not be re-
called. So Jim sensibly arrived
at the conclusion that his success
as great inventor depended on
an instrument that would register
those precious thoughts which
persisted in coming just before he
dropped off to sleep.
l was we'll acquainted with Jim,
and as he unfolded to me his hopes
and aspirations as to his latest
idea, he became very enthusiastic.
He thought that if he could in
vent a thought-registering ma
chine, he could make the patent
clerks at Washington lean from
overwork. He confidentially told
me what he intended to do with
the wealth when the golden stream
flowed his way. Indeed, poor Jim
had counted his birds before thew
were Matched, and he had already
counted on success as an actually.
Failure! Why, he secuted the
idea as preposterous.
Jim worked and toiled for many
days. He built a small workshop.
something he never did before,
and really began actual work on
constructing a machine. He rea.
5oned that thoughts produced
vibrations, and that each word
could be differentiated, in an in
Intestinal degree. from others.
If, by placing a sensetized cap
over his head, he couldn't see why
t was not possible to register
thought. By having a wire at
ached to the cap leading to the
registering machine, he thought
he thing was simply child's play.
However, he found that he had
he hardest problem he ever han
lied. AS to the vibratory force,
le was fairly correct, but in his
experiments he found it difficult
o distinguish one vibration from
he other. One day I found him
