driving cattle from place to place and
allowed him to trade on his own ac-
count For his first weeks wages he
took a yearling heifer, and before he
reached the next town he had traded
it for carriage. The carriage was
hitched behind the team that followed
the cattle, and was sold before he had
gone five miles further for about four
times what the heifer cost him. This
was the beginning of his trading after
he left home, and he continued to
trade until he thought he had enough

bral junk shop found; a blend OF WOW

blank to them-but you can bet the
fathers seem delighted when the foot
ball team to which their sons belong
