Monaeamy Among Animals.

For ages the beasts have been crop

says Ernest Thompson Seton In the
January Century in his story of Dom
ino Reynard of Goldur Town." the his
tory of noble silver fox with a defin-
lite purpose. "All the schemes of hui
man reverts they have tried, and all
found wanting but one. The only plan
that has satisfied the highest require
ments is pure monagamy. This is the
wed-law Of all the highest kinds. The
love-time fever passes, but another
bond remains. The love-fire Of the
foxes had paled little with the wan
ing Of the .hunger-moon, but more
abiding sense had supervened, even as
the sunset red on the hills may seem
more generous fire than the soft RED
of the granite; but one is there in splen-
did moment, the other forever and
evermore. Love and friendship men
call them; and though the Pickering
red light blazed so bright at times, 1t
was the pale rock red that gave its
color to their lives. Domino and Snow
yruff were not only mates, but were
friends for life; for such is the way Of
the noblest beasts, such is the way OF
foxes"

of insurrection and civil wars began between

In 1854 law for the abolition of slavery was
enacted. Realizing the hopelessness of

GOOD BLOOD PAYS.
The Lesson That the Western Stock
Show Association is Trying to


There is an old saying in England
among stockmen that "the bull is --alf
the herd" This is as true as any old
saw ever uttered but the stockmen
of this country are still learning this
fact by experience. The main object
of the National Western Stock Show
is to educate the stockmen of the West
to the fact that there is good profit in
good blood and in order that they may
profit b. the lesson in a practical way
the association has enlisted the assist
ance of the Pure Blood Record Asso-
citation to provide few really choice
animals in the various breeds that can
be sold to western breeders at low
price. The public sales to be held at
the stock show in Denver during tho
week of January 18th, are selected
from the best herds in America and
are sold not for the purpose of making
a big profit, but to introduce the breeds
into the West. The buyers make their
own prices. The animals are selected
by committee and are not only typ-
cal of the breed they represent, but are
choice individuals.
The American Shorthorn Breeders
Association will offer in this sale about
fifty-five head of choice young bulls,
from such herds as those of F. w.
Harding of Wisconsin, N. P. Clarke, T.
j. Wornall & Sons, c. E. Leclard &
Son, D. r. Hanna, Carpenter G. Ross OF
Ohio. A. C. Shellenberger, w. A. For
sythe H. NJ. Hill, Henry Stunkel, Chas-
Wells & Son, B. N. Newly, Fremont
Watts.
These names are well known to
Shorthorn breeders through the whole
country and they represent the best
of the Shorthorn herds Of America.
The Hereford Association is arrang-
ing a sale of choice things fully equal
to the Shorthorn offerings. The very
best breeders and herds of the country
will be represented. The same may be
said Of the Galloway breed and OF the
Aberdeen Angus.
This feature of the big stock show is
the business end and the annual dis
persal of these we'll b.ed cattle through
the West means millions to the live
stock industry of this section in the
future.
The new building for the stock show
is completed. 1t represents an invest
ment OF 100000 and will comfortably
seat over 5000 people. The big arena
will be constantly occupied with
stock during the week Of January 18th
23rd and the indications are that the
show will be the greatest ever held
West Of Chicago.

Gen. Castro is a vain man. confident of his
own powers, seemingly believing himself a
child of destiny Probably he does not fully
trust anyone but himself. and he seldom takes
the public into his complete confidence. He
sits in his apartments in the Yellow house
the administrative building-looks down on the
statue OF Bolivar. which is the center of the
city's life, and easily convinces himself that
his services to Venezuela are second only to
those of the great Liberator. He believes
venezuela Is to become the leading nation of
South America, and he bitterly resents what
he considers the affronts which other nations
attempt to put upon It. 1t is the method in
which he expresses this resentment that
causes so much trouble for his disregard of
diplomatic usages is most obnoxious to other
governments.
In private life Gen. Castro does not present
an admirable figure, but his faults are such
as are often found In strong characters. His
periods of relaxation are as strenuous in their
way as are his periods Of work, and his recent
severe attacks Of illness probably are due
largely to overindulgence In pleasures When
he appears in public he is always dignlied-

habits OF his soldier days His chamber at
