Vain in His Death
But He Could Stand 1t
A Frenchman's Fad as to His Funer-
al and His Mausoleum.

Every American, especially ev-
cry American of the gentler sex,
who has visited Paris, knows the
great "Magasins du Louvre" the
big department store between the
Palais Royal and the Tuillercs.
Its founder, Mr.. H. A. Chau-
chard, now at the point of death,
is preparing to give Paris a new
surprise.
He is bachelor, many times Al
millionaire, and lives in a prince
ly residence. He has often aston
ished the world by the fabulous
prices he has paid for art treas
ures. He bought Millet's ".Ange-
lus" for 100000 and paid vast
sums for other pictures, notably
Meissonier's "1S15." In his de-
clining years M. Chauchard has
become rather eccentric, and his
chief occupation has been to ar
range the details of his funeral,
which he has planned upon q
royal scale, He has already had
a magnificent sarcophagus, cost
ing $4,000, built in the Pere.L La
chaise cemetery and selected a
coffin costing $4,000, made of am,
aranth wood, with chlselled
bronze ornaments.
For his funeral he has set aside
the sum of $4,000. The body is
to lie in state at his residence for
two days. The services will be
held with much pomp at the
Church of La Madeleine. There
is to be music from the opera
choruses and several speeches will
be made. The procession to the
cemetery through the grand bou-
levards is to be a splendid Louis
XIV cortege, preceded by grooms
with lances, two hundred messen-
ger boys from the store in livery
and the entire four thousand EN-
ployes. Following the hearse his
friends will ride in old fashioned
state mourning carriages with
coachmen in cockades and silver
gallons.
Mr. Chauchard intends to be-
queath his art treasures to his bus
mess associates for exhibition In
the gallery to be built adjoining
the store for the benefit of its Gus
TONERS.

A FAT THING IN raising HORSES
Special Branch Of the Horse Industry That Is at Present
Attracting Attention. Fat Horses the Fad.

Feeding horses for the market
has developed into a distinct
branch of the live stock industry
in certain sections of the country,
and has proved highly profitable
to many farmers in recent years.
The demand of the city buyers for
horses in high condition is respon
sible for this special industry,
which yields better returns, it is
said, than the feeding of cattle and
hogs. Any reputable dealer will
tell his customers that a horse in
moderate flesh is less liable to sick
ness and is capable of harder work
than one rounded out and fatten-
ed by forced stall feeding, but in
nine cases out of ten this advice
is unheeded. The men in the
trade, who must cater to the pub
lie taste or go out of business, are
forced to keep fat horses, and they
invariably advise country ship
pers to bring in their offerings
loaded with flesh if they want to
realize the highest prices for them.
This is especially true of coach
and draught horses, which must
be "hog fat" to sell well, Market
experts estimate that flesh on
horses of these types is often worth
a dollar a pound or more.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois
and Iowa are the principal states
where this branch of animal hus-
bandry is followed most extensive
ly and successfully as applied to
draught horses. The feeders often
pick up their prospects in the mar
kets where they are to be sold
when finished, selecting only such
animals as promise to round out
into fancy draughters of extra
weight, shape and quality. These
horses are used for light work on
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1909-06-17

the farms while the fattening pro-
cess is going on, and thus often
almost pay for the feed they CON
sumo, leaving to the farmer as a
profit the difference between first
cost and final selling price. This
difference is sometimes astonish-
ing when horses are selected and
finished by an expert feeder. One
man last year picked up a carload
of prospects in one of the western
markets at an average of 1915 and
after feeding them a little more
than three months sent them back
to the same market and sold them
at an average of 1922.
1t takes about four months for
the average feeder to fatten a STALL
fed draught horse for the New
York market. Corn, oats, wheat,
bran, linseed meal, molasses and
timothy and clover hay are the
principal rat'ons relied upon, and,
given a good horse in the hands
of an expert feeder, it will some
times take on flesh at the rate of
five pounds a day. One-half this
gain is, however, about the aver
age. Some horses take on flesh
very slowly, while others that fat
ten quickly put it on in the wrong
place, finishing out into animals
that lack symmetry of form
though possessing extreme weight.
At least one big concern in New
York-the Fiss, Doerr & Carroll
Horse company-makes a prac-
tice of financing the feeding and
finishing of several hundred fancy
draughters every year in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. This is done for
the two-fold purpose of obtaining
the pick of the stock on the feed
ing farms and insuring an ade-
quate supply of big horses at all
times.

LITTLE All ME, AND All THERE.

Little All Me was Chinaman
With a cue as long as his arm,
Whose spirits were constantly I'M
der a ban,
Though he never did serious
harm,
But he ever inclined to the darker
side
And the sorriest kind of view,
And his life was a failure, and,
when he died,
The mourners were very few.
Little All There was another Chi
nee,
But one of different sort;
His face was a map of the Land
of Glee,
And of worries he made his
sport;
He had his gailings, but he was
gay
And failing is not a sin
lie won all neartS Wltn MS clleery
way,
And they made him a Man
DARN
And from little All Me and little
All There
The lesson sublime is learned
That it's better to keep up a sem
blance fair
Till it's time to be inurned.
It's hard for the solemn to reach
his goal,
While the merry one seldom
fails;
Strength breeds itself in a laugh
ing soul
While the one that is gloomy
quails.

The old subway-historic in the an nals of the camp-will in few days become a thing of tho past and ;n 8 few weeks over its covered bed street ears, marking epoch in the growth of the camp, will follow with unromantic regularity their prosaic schedule. Men were put to work Saturday night, and will be kept at work until completed, making the last fill on the old subway This paves the way Tor the extension of the street railway The frames have already been set for the extension of the forty foot road as far as tho War ren laundry, and by the end of the week it will probably be completed that far. The city can probably keep ahead of the company, and according to the street commissioner, if the company be- gins building their street railway ex- tension at once, the road will be built as fast as they need it.

SAN CARLOS S-wINKELMAN CON NECTToN WILL COST TWO MIL
 LION AND TAKE TWO YEARS

TUCSON, March 25.--Coloncl Epcs Randolph returned to the city Sunday morning after making the 700 mile trip from Tucson to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, to Cananea and Douglas, and later to Pas adena and Los Angeles, with Edward II. Hartman, president of the Southern Pacific railway and its associated lines, steamship and otherwise.
 Speaking of the trip to Mazatlan and MT. Hartman s impressions of the jour ney, Colonel Randolph said that Mir Hartman was greatly pleased with the road, more especially referring to the ex- tension from Guaymas to Culiacan and the seaport of Maza.'0n. MT. Hartman expressed the belle that great possl bilities were offered to capital in Sin alba and that the railroad in that state would become a profitable investment to the Southern Pacific. Mir. Hartman paid Colonel Randolph many eompli- ments, it has been learned aside from Colone, Randolph, in view of tine rapid ard excellent work accomplished on the eAtchSIoH.
 The trip to Cananea and Douglas re- vealed greater possibilities to MT. liar riman than the railroad magnate ever dreamed of. The Southern Pacific branch from Cananea to Nogales was most satisfactory Connection, as it afforded the company better facilities to connect with the lines existing in Sonora and Arizona.
 Colonel Randolph said tho connection between Winkelman ard San Carlos was hard proposition in view of the heavy work to be done in the 2S-mile stretch, most of which is through box canyon through which the Gila river passes. It has been the purpose of the Espee to do this work as early as prac- ticable and it will be pushed through at no distant day, certainly within the next two years.
 The building of the 2S miles will cost $2,000,000.

Anti-Boleto Law.

One of the measures enacted by the legislature was what was known as the snti- -boleto bill. This measure provides that whenever any mining company or o.her corporation gives to any employe any evidence of indebtedness, it must be redeemed in cash. This measure was supposed to affect the company store business in various sections of the ter ritory, but it is claimed by these store managers that the bill will not affect any system which they have had in operation. Those who favored the measure claim that under the anti-bo- lcto bill the account books given to the Mexican laborer will como under the bill and that in the future these "cateras' will be redeemable in cash instead of merchandise.
