Big Cattle Stealing On Old Frontier

Gin the old days" said Jim Crockett,
an old cow puncher, 'things were done
on big scale, even to cattle thieving.
When men stole cattle then they stole
enough to make it worth while. There
was one theft that lasted over a period
of several years and lost to the company
thousands of head that puzzles me yet
although have been told how it was
done. and in fact was working for the
outfit when the thing was discovered
It was the KIT This outfit drove up
great herds of young steers from Texas
to Montana for fattening on the good
graIna grass. ....-..-
well, as I said, 1 might be called @
brand expert if branding and reading
brands go for anything in that line, but
the stealing of those KIT steers is even
yet beyond me and have worked over
it for years. The thieves took the KIT
brand and made it into five pointed
star with the stars running clear
through. There were no blotches or
any other marks on the animal except
that there was a small cross in the
center Of the star. Now, see if you can
work it out" Denver Field and Farm.

LIvInq Pictures.

Universal 1aziness, nihilism Of

without trouble, in lands that the&sods
never traversed, have provoked living
pictures. Eclectic gentlemen have OBJ

exercise of the dance has measurably

new, evolution OF the drama. Tn the
noise Of q vague music which will
eventually be suppressed, spectators
seated before a curtain and immov-

troller Eggers and tried to place the
faults Of the local officers of Churchill
county upon him.
The whole matter is that the bonds
men of Sheriff Shirley had to come
through with an amount Of money to
the state and this was forced by State
Controller Eggers and State Auditor
Ligon and consequently the editor of
the Standard is sore over the matter.
His soreness is caused, we are inform
ed by local men who claim to know
the why's and wherefores, by the simple
fact that the Standard is owned by one
Williams and this Williams was also
one of the bondsmen Of Shirley and of
course had to come up with !ihis quota,
hence the soreness. The friendsiof Egg

Chinese Laws

In lemon colored silk a Chinese dip
lomat talked about Chinese laws -
Some of our laws, you know, are
very stimulating" he said For ex,
ample. Chi owed money to Il money
lender Chi would not pay, and the
money lender hanged himself ON Chi's
door post. Chi was condemned to death.
You see, he was really responsible for
the money lenders death.
"a son able to support his parents
is imprisoned for life if he won't do
so. A son unable to support them is
imprisoned for three years, as'we hold
and quite rightly that there must
be something wrong with a young man
who can't support his parents.
"Our police are excellent, thanks to
the stimulus of our law. When a
crime is committed sleuth is put
upon the case and given, say, thirty
days to land the criminal If the sleuth
fails he himself pays the penalty of
the crime, less two degrees. That, too,
is just and stimulating law, for.if the
police can neither prevent nor punish
crime then they should be themselves
punished for their rank incapacity -

The Conjurer Confesses.

That the hand is quicker than the
eye is one OF those accepted sayings
invented by someone who knew moth
Ing OF conjuring-or, as is more likely.
by some cunning conjurer who aimed
still further to hoodwink a gullible
public. The fact is that the best con.
1urer seldom makes rapid motion,
for that attracts attention, even
though 1t be not understood. The
true artist In this line is deliberate IN
every movement, and It is mainly by
his actions that he leads his audience
to look not where they ought, but in
an entirely different direction. Mr..
David DeVant, who for a number OF
consecutive years has entertained
London with his ingenious tricks, has
said: The conjurer must be an actor.
BY the expression Of his face by his
gestures, by the tone of his voice. in
short, by his acting, he must produce
his effects."--St. Nicholas.

is PERFECT FENCING MATERIAL
Species Of cacti Form Hedges Prac.
ticaily ImpenetrabIe.

The hedges which we ordinarily see
bordering country estates are planted
for their ornamental and identifying
effect, and not as substitute for fenc-
ing material, but in the extreme south
western part of the United States
there are many hedges which serve
primarily this latter purpose. Various
species of cacti, such as the prickly
pear, are used by ranchmen to -inclose
cattle ranges in those arid regions,
and these hedges are practically i'm
penetrable. Wild animals are thus
effectually proven; ed from attacking
the herds and fiocks, and supply of
fodder may always be obtained by
burning off the spines from the tender
young shoots of the cactus. .-.
Remains Of hedges Is feet in height
are to be seen near the locations of
the old missions in southern Califor-
mia, where they once served as forti-
ncations to protect the little settle
:ments. Instead of fences the Mexicans
use what Is known as the, organ cac-
Ftus. When stakes Of this plant are set
In the earth they readily take root,
and soon present formidable barrier
OF thorns!--Harper's. Weekly.

WASTE AND THE DEFICIT

The accounts of the treasury strong
ly back up the saying by Chairman
Tawney, of the House Committee on
Appropriations. that economy and re.
trenchment must be guiding princip-
les in the coming session of Congress.
Even if the revenues come up to the
estimates there will be deficiency of
some $7O.0O). 900 for the current fiscal
year. This will not be due to lack of
money coming into the Treasury, but
to the excessive and rwasteful appro.
priatiOns made by the last Congress,
the largest ever voted for single year
in time of peace.
But nobody knows yet what the eff
feet of the new tariff is going to be up
on the revenues. The wooden and cot
ton schedules which ordinarily ought
to he good revenue producers, have
been made practically prohibitive,
while few of the other schedules have
been changed in the direction of tariff
for revenue.
But the crucial test of the new tariff
will not come until April, when the
maximum of per cent advalorem is
to, be added to the rates written in the
Payne-Aldrich law. Though the
president is authorized to remit this
maximum in the case of imports from
countries whose laws are as favorable
to our commerce as they are to that Of
any nation, it is confidently expected
that the maximum will be enforced
against every important nation except
Great Britain
No treasury expert is needed to tell
us that this additional charge will
make a number of the schedules pro-
hibitive. Imports will De shut out
and receipts of the customhouse will
fall off. The estimated deficit for the
year will be enhanced
In this situation sharp retench-
lneht in the appropriations to be made
this winter will be imperative if the
Government is to go through the next
fiscal year without bond issues
Fortunately there is plenty of room
for retrenchment. A large part of the
great annual expenditures since the
Spanish war is wholly unnecessary.
The public service is crowded with in
competent and superfuous employees,
who consume not less than fifty mil
lions of dollars every year. The sys-
tenn of conducting the public business
isloose, and in every branch of it there
is waste ALI these leaks must be STOP
ped. The Governments expenditures
snust be limited by its income.-Re-
public.

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1909-06-17
Boil WeeviIs Found. .

Saturday Mr.. Harold Titche sent
"a bottle of boil weevils and pun
.ctured squares to the Reveille Of
fee. These were found on his
place just across the bayou fron
Port Gibson, and Mr.. Titche says
every cotton field on the place is
infested. He states that in one
place he found fifteen weevil in a
small area.
While this news is not very en-
couraging, at the same time DR..
Knapp's letter, published in last
weeks Reveille, stated that the
first weevils are those that got
through the winter. After punctu-
ring squares and laying eggs, these
disappear.
It is also stated by the govern
ment men that it takes about 2S
days for the weevil to hatch and
begin depreciation. This being
the case, with continued dry
weather, and plenty of work, there
is every reason to believe the weev-
il will not materially damage the
crop.
