ssWestern" Beef ON the Markets.
"Western steers are ready sellers on
the MARKET" says a recent Washing
ton bulletin. which opens with the
terse statement. Western beef is COM
ing into its own" The passing season
has seen large numbers Of the range
bred steers, most Of which come from
ranges within the national forest area,
topping the feeder markets at all
points where feeder steers are solo,
The demand for cattle Of this kind IS
greater than the supply, a condition
which, of course, results in IN increase
Of price.
The settlement Of the cattle grazing
belt is rapidly reducing the area Of
accessible feeding ground and forcing
the stock to go higher and higher into
the hills for grass. This increases the
necessity Of freely utilizing the ranges
within the national forests. and the
forest service is opening hitherto mac
cessible ranges by the constructionSof
trails and bridges and the develop
ment Of water supply for arid ranges.
Given plenty Of fresh water and sufa.
cient feed, the Western steer [,

years on the range. y

Schooling Grownups.

Schooling Grownups.
The national forest service has been
experimenting with a school for ran
gers, and good results are reported. It
might be supposed that forestry could
be learned only in the woods, ak or
spade in hand, cutting out or planting.
The sessions Of the first forestry
school held in this country took place
in September and October. The train
ing consisted Of lectures in the morn
ing and field work in the afternoon.
Rangers from four different forest sys-
TENS attended.
The idea Of practical training for
adults who might be supposed to be
proficient in their calling is growing in
this country. Even commercial drum
mers modestly take points from past
masters on the "road," although their
gatherings are called conventions. Ac-
tivities so overlap at present that it
becomes more and more difficult for
Mr.. Know-it-all to make good. The
school for grownups is often only an
organized effort to do what has been
done at random all along. But there is
inspiration in a crowd filed with the
same idea, and the most r~esourceful
man never admits that he sis too old
to learn"

GUILTY OF LONG
SERIES OF GRIMES
Asylum Attendant Accused Of
killing Many Inmates,

Paris, Dec. 29.-Whenever Leon
Thabuis, keeper of the feeble minded
ward in an insane asylum, wanted a
drink of %absinthe, his favorite tipple,
he killed one Of the inmates entrust-
ed to his charge, according to the po-
lice theory, and with the 20-cent bonus
allowed him for the extra work in
volved in the death of a. inmate kept
himself supplied with the drink.
Thabius is facing trial for what Is
believed to be the most gruesome
series of crimes ever committed in
France. An Investigation into his rec-
ord as keeper of the ward in which
idiots and feeble minded persons were
confined followed the death of an old
inmate. It was found that the man
had been strangled. Thabius said he
killed the man in self-defense after
being attacked by him. Thabius' rec
ords showed a death every other day
for the preceding fortnight.
When the bodies of the inmates
were exhumed it was found that every
one had been strangled. Other ex-
humations showed dozens Of similar
cases. Everything pointed unmis-
takably to the attendants guilt.
The officers now say Thabius took
the franc bonus and spent it for alb
sinthe, an over indulgence In which
is believed to have made him a Grim
