Riding bicycle at rs years of age
would be considered difficult by most
men. But R. T. Steele, tailor, who
lives on Matthews street, says it is
simple matter. He still rides to
and from his work every day. He
handles the wheel as easily as a boy,
he says.
Mr.. Steele came to Columbia several
years ago, from a farm In Audrain
county. After selling all his horses he
found that walking was a poor sub
stitute for horseback riding. So he
decided that the bicycle was the
thing for him. Now he believes that
many who find walking tax fol
their endurance, would do well to
learn the wheel.
"It is only case where determine
tion will win" said Mr.. Steele, yes

men of my age who have answered:
no, l could never do that. would
break my neck +"
Mr.. Steele is an expert tailor, and
believes that work is just as good
for a man of 75yearsasfor one ol
25. He works regularly at the shoI
and spends an hour or two every
day i'm his garden. Regular meals
and regular hours for sleep, is one
rule he holds fast. The average worl
ing man, he says, has too long hours
of labor. He believes that five oi
six hours day would be better.
Indeed" he argues, ''if every mar

|OWAN RAISES DEER:
SENDS MEAT TO CHICAGO

Mason City, Ia, June S.--IowG is
one OF the states that can boast of
having a farm devoted to the rails
ing Of deer. Near Gooden resides
John w. Grlggs, man who has
devoted years of his life In the
study of animals. 1t was eighteen
years ago when his fancy led him
to secure a few elk an for a
few years he aised anumberofthem.
Then he took to deer and not only
found he could get much enjoyment
out of it but 1t commenced to re-
turn a revenue. The deer are SO
hardy that the raising Of them In
great numbers is not difficult. Dur
ing the severest weather OF this
winter, especially the storm of
Jan. 20, the deer, without shelter, ex-
cept what they secured in the wood
thickets, did not suffer in the least.
Mr.. Griggs has forty acres of
timber and grass land which he has
fenced with a wire fence eight feet
high with meshes SO tight that a dog
cannot get through. In this inclos-
ure he now has a herd Of about 100
deer.
They are quite Wild and remain
most Of the time In the woods. They
like the leaves and the limbs. In cer-
tain seasons they viii cat little
corn. The mating season Is in No
vember and the fawns are dropped
in May or June. The fawns grow
rapidly, and at the age OF about
eight months there is demand for
them in the markets.
Mr.. Griggs makes no effort to sup
ply the large demands that come to
him for animals for park purposes.
He usually aims to supply only the
Chicago market.
Mr.. Griggs is careful regarding the
breeding to keep up the strength
of his herd, and they are advancing
in size. There are a number OF
breeds of deer, but Mr.. Griggs' fav
orlte is the Virginia deer of tht
central states.

PAID BY TWELVE ARTICLES OR
CLASSES OF ARTlcLEs-INTER.
EsTlNe DATE

Washington, June 2, 1909.-Three.
fourths OF the tariff duties col
lected by the United States gov.
ernment annually are paid by twelve
articles or classes or articles.
These are sugar, which In 1907
paid s60,OOO,0OO duty; cotton manu-.
faetures. which paid $1,000. 900; leaf
tobacco, 22,OOO,OOO; manufactures of
fibers, $4,000, 900; manufactures of

manufacture of earthen andchinaware
$4,000, 1000; chemicals, drugs and dyes,
S7,5O0,0O0 and fruits and nuts, ST..

The total amount paid by these 12
classes of articles in 1907 was $780,
100000. which was threefourths OF
ehS YoHS,VVV,VVV "a Natlli uuLleb COl-
lected In that year.
Further figures prepared by the
bureau of statistics show that the
share which customs duties have
borne in producing the revenues of
the country have varied with varying
conditions principally depending ON
the changes from time to time in In
ternal revenue laws.
1T must not be supposed, how
ever" says the report, that because
a dozen articles or groups ofarticles
pay three-fourths of the tariff du-
ties collected that tho making of a
tariff and the determination OF rates
of duty and the amount of revenue
likely to result therefrom is by
any means a simple matter. The
rates of duties are not APPLIED mere
ly to group articles as whole, but
apply at different rates and In diff
ferent rates and In different terms
to various grades and qualities Of
articles forming each group, and
in many cases to the various grades
of material bearing a single name.
