Kindness is one of the purest traits
that finds q place in the human
heart. It gives Us friends wherever
we may chance to wander. To show
kindness it is not necessary to give
large sums of money or TO perform
some wonderful deed that will IL :
mortalize your name. 1t is the word
OF ~ mpathy to the discouraged and
disheartened. Kindness makes sun
shine wherever it goes; it is the real
law of life; the link that connects
earth with heaven. Would you live
IN the remem hrauoe of others after
you are gone? Write your name on
the tablets OF their hearts by a&s of
kindness and love. The noblest re-
venge we can make upon our enemies
is to do them kindness.

tread upon our tender spirits. We
must endure misfortunes, trials and

these things, but we should not allow
the harsh experiences to deaden our
sensibilitiss or make US stoical or
sour. The true problem of living is
to keep our hearts sweet and gentle

a Close Call.

While the Southern Pacific has
completed it's railway line to MAJ
allan the road is not opened yet to
through traffic beyond Culiacan,
and the only way for getting over
the road is on construction trains,
which is a very tedious and incon-
venlent method of travel.
1t is related that a gentleman.
who is known we'll to many readers
Of The OASIS had-occasion recently
to make the journey. Finding the
train caboose stuffy and .uncomfort,
able he went out ahead and made
himself as comfortable as possible
on a car of.ties, when he fell asleep.
For some reason it became neces-
sary to sidetrack at a way station
the car upon which was soundly
sleeping the weary traveller, which
was done without awakening him
and without the trainmen perceiv-
ing his presence thereon. The
train had coupled up and started
with the sleeper on the carload of
sleepers in blissful ignorance of the
fact that he had been marooned at
a sidetrack twenty miles from any
where. AS the caboose passed the
car a fellow passenger discovered
the situation and emitted yell
that aroused the sleeping gentle
man, who sized the situation in
stanter, jumped off from the car
and tore down the track after the
moving caboose. fortunately the
train had not acquired any great
Roadway, and by dint OF lively
sprint the caboose was caught and
the hero of this yarn continued his
interrupted journey.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CRY, March 10, 1909
The cattle run was heavy first two
days this week, and there was an
other decline of 10 to Is cents on
steers in consequence, but receipts
were smaller Wednesday, and have
dropped down sharply yesterday
and today, total for the week only
$500 head. Statesmen have been
able to recover some of the recent
losses since Wednesday, and the
small supply today was sold at
prices 10 to 15 cents above the low
time of the week. Cows and heifers
have not changed so much as
steers. and are closing the week
about steady with close of last
week. Not as many good steers
have been included this week as
last, although there was a fair
number of sales at $3.50 to $3.50.
Several trains of Colorado Sugar
Mill steers were ordered for the
market early this week, but were
held back account of the break in
pnceS. Hay fed steers were offered
on various days this week, ship

feeders from Northern Colorado at

New York, Dec. 23.-The steel
trust, following IT, custom started

employes as Christmas present s2,-
10000 as a bonus. Announcement
to this effect was made by Judge L.
III. Gary, chairman of the board.
In his apartments at the Waldorf
Astoria Judge Gary declined to give
the details of The distribution of this
remarkably large bonus.
1T IS an Old custom of the cor
poration, he said. 1--WE have been
doing it for six or seven years. The
1.-TWO millions We are distributing this
year will go pro rata and according
to merit, length of service, to a great
host OF our employees Everybody in
our service who answers the require
ments will get his due share OF it.
We have had a year of prosperity and
we want our employees to feel that
they are entitled to a just proportion
of the benefits
The oficial announcement regard
ing the bonus was as follows:
"The United States steel corpora
ltion is distributing a bonus to the
officers and employees of the corpora
ton and subs diary corporations in
accordance with its annual practice,
based on circular letters issued at the
beginning of 1903. The amount is
determined, as usual, by the annual

fled in circular letters. Also the usual

It is said that no other industrial
concern IN the world has ever divided

OF money as a bare bonus. Through
the profit sharing scheme devised by
George W. Perkins when he was
chairman of the finance committee of
1.-THE steel trust, the employees who
have been taken into that plan are
reaping comfortable dividends. II is
understood all of them will particle
