Cuando apenas contaba cinco 8 seis amos,
mi querida rnadre entretenfa
Contandome cuentos que por extrano
Tanto exaltan del nino la fantasia
Una tarde que el celo Sc abor regaba,
era su mas claro, mas transparente,
tibios fulgores que ilumnaba,
Desde el orto al ocaso, todo el ambente,
LIE pregunte: sno certo madre querida,
Que cuando nino, remonta ell vuelo,
desde que abandona humana vida,
La virgen Sc lleva consgo al cielo?
Pues 81 es asf, responde iporque la muerte,
Del hijo que perdste te afige tanto,
desde entonces madre, siempre he de verte
Cada vez que de el hablas, vertiendo llanto?
Es. es dijo perdendo toda su calma
Porque tamben la dicha enoos;
Es porque. 5por que insistes, hjo del alma
En- saber porque vierten lanto mis- oos?

Sheep and Dogs.

In some counties Of England, 1t is
said. a law exists compelling a lamb
to be produced for each acre on the
farm. The value Of sheep on the
farm is thoroughly understood and ap-
preciated by the English people. In
some Of the States in this country the
rule seems to be to produce dog for
nearly every acre. Sheep are con.
slant farm improvers, while dogs are
exactly the opposite. But for the pre-
valence Of worthless ours there are
many sections where sheep would be
raised and their keeping would turn
the tide that would soon lead to profit
able farming.

women as Chemists.

1T 10 expedient publicly to en-
courage woman to adopt chemistry as

In this concise way In expressed
the view OF those members of the
Chemical Society OF Great Britain
who disspprove Of the proposal to
allow women to become members.
Out of the thirty-four hundred
papers read on personal researches
during the last thirty-five years. on

OF many of our leading scientists to

breaks his harness and throws the
occupants, the carriage and himself
into the ditch. The horse cannot see
in front of him-cnly to the right or
left. A California man thinks the
safest plan is to let him see nothing
at all. He suggests inclosing the eyes
in the novel bride blind shown here,
which he recently patented. A pair
of blinds are attached to the bride.
Normally these blinds remain open.
When the driver sees an approaching
automobile he pulls on strap which
extends to the drivers seat and the
blinds are folded over the horses
eyes, completely obscuring his vision.
The danger of the horse becoming
frightened and running away Is thus
reduced to a minimum and the occu-
pants assured of safety.

Improving Cattle Herd.

By the use of good pure bred bulls
marked improvement can be effected
In grade and scrub herds in a very
few years. Increased profits will ac-
company the upgrading process. Prac-
tical. simple and profitable, this work
should appeal to all farmers owning
nondescript cattle. Bulls suitable for
the purpose are now within attractive
reach. They can be bought privately
or at public sale at values that are
tending upward. Gazette.

Care of Horses.

Keep the collars clean and dry.
Keep the colts feet level by rasp-
ing.
Don't allow the toes to grow too
long. Long toes will cause ringbones.
Do not use grease or blacking on
the hoofs to close the pores. and pre-
vent the entrance Of moisture.

Handle the colt Just as you would

would think of leaving the boy until
he was 21 before teaching him what II
meant to obey and perform certain
dutiesf 30 with the colt. He should
not be allowed to get his growth be-

Feedinu Sheen.

There are several points in feeding
sheep that must not be overlooked.
The feed lot must be dry, with plenty
of clean, dry bedding; the animals
must have plenty Of clean, pure water,
and the feed troughs should be kept
clean. These should be arranged so
that the sheep cannot foul them with
their feet. Another point Is to keep
them from becoming excited or fright.

new STOCK OFFER.
Firm Would Pay SO Cents for Those
Railroad Papers.

While waiting to have his curiosity
satisfied as to the amount the K. c.
& P. railroad stock sold for, County
Clerk Sam Zimmerman has investi-
gated what they might have been sold
for and has found that if he now had
the stock he could sell it for s55 a
share, or $41,250. instead of $40 a
share allowing $500 commission and
netting but $22,50O to the county as
has been done.
The clerk received letter from
ElIerbe & Brokaw, a ST. Louis firm of
lawyers and brokers, naming all the
roads whose stock they would like to
buy up. There is to be a great Mis-
souri, Pacific meeting in st. Louis to-
morrow for the purpose of assembling
all stocks of its various tributaries and
refunding them dollars for dollar.
This Kansas, Colorado & Pacific stock
is thought to be some they want At
any rate the clerk wired the firm for
their highest price on $50 shares and
within two hours received a replv wire
that they would pay $55 a share and
requested an answer last night. Thus
it is evident there is a good demand
for that stock just now
But of course Zimmerman had no
stock to sell and wired back that he
could not take $55 a share, but want
ed more.
"They will probably see that I have
no stock, but I have found good
price for them and almost exnect
higher figure today" said the clerk,
AT any rate I have learned that either
Kelly & Kelly are not the best brokers
or else that $40 share was not all

DAWSON IS BACK.
Has Investigated Railroad Law in
Nebraska

John Dawson, attorney for the rail-
road board, has just returned from Lin
com: Nebraska, where he has been in
vestigating the two cent fare fight go
ing on in that state.
Mr.. Dawson has it figured out that it
VIII take at least year for this case
to end and in the meantime Kansas
will be perfectly safe from any raise in
rates. 1t has been stated, however,
that the fate of the Kansas rates Ge-
pended upon the decision in Nebraska.
This is hardly the case. according to
Mr.. Dawson. 1t is true that both sides
will gain a good idea of the outcome
by the result of the Nebraska fight but
nothing can be depended upon definite
ly. For instance, Kansas has more
people than Nebraska and this would
be an argument in favor of the present
rates.
Mr.. Dawson has been hard at work
during the little 'junket" but he *
working overtime in his office gather
ing together the loose threads of the
delayed work.
