What Made 1t Wild.

From the New York Herald
All the customers of Charles Kaegebehn
who keeps q saloon at No. S2 Washington
street, Hoboken, dropped In yesterday to
see the wild cat which Charley's brother.
Ferdinand, had just brought from the
United States of Columbia for the New
Yosi- Geological society of which he is
acting assistant curator general. The cat.
which is ~zoologically known as an ocelot.
was in a little wooden crate with thin
Stats for bars, and it was the widest look
ing wild beast hat any OF the thirsty
ones had ever seen.
THAT amt 40 wild cat said Gus
Hogebohm. as he blew the rroth from a
foaming beaker, "yNhy that thing would
jump through this and out Of your hand.
Sure he's a wild cat. said Charley.
My brother said so. and he ought to
know

with scorn. ""I got a black and tan COM.

to his bartender.
Search me- said John, "but It's time to
feed him. and. producing from behind the
bar n luscious and far reaching cake of
limburger cheese, he approached the oce-
lots crate and inserted the toothsome
d~elicacy between the bars.
Half a minute later Gus and Never and
all the rest were agreed that it was the
widest wildcat they ever had met. The
fimsy crate went to pieces with a couple
OF heaves and the cat took charge OF the
bar. lie wrecked whole communities Of

THE PHILosoPHic BRAKEMAN.
He Rejoices When the Train Is Late
for Purely Personal Reasons.

The Flying Bluenose. a train which US
ually earns its title as railroad travel goes
in the quiet Canadian province it trav-
erses. had been held for an hour or more
at a little town until a new locomotive
could be procured. The regular locomotive
had laid down on the job. 1t was a case
of tired boiler tubes.
Passengers were chatting at the delay.
There was no reason for Impotence, for
the next stop was the terminus OF the line.
and a seaport; those who were going to
take the boat knew 1t would wait for the
the day but dinner, and the train would
surely arrive before s. The scheduled time
of arrival was $50.
Nevertheless the passengers were impa-
tent. Most Of them were Americans,
which explains it. They clustered around
the rear platform of the Pullman or made
daring excursions into the town. with one
ear open for the whistle of the extra To-
connective coming down the line.
Members of the train crew took matters
calmly and answered all questions, ever
the inevitable foolish kind with courtesy.
The brakeman voiced his sentiments.
This suits me-" he said. leaning against
the guard rail. Here we have been get
ting in on time or nearly so day after
supper with nothing to do. Today Well
get in about 6. just in time for supper.
II wish we'd get held up every day or
the train would be put on a slow schedule.
The appearance of being busy suits me
much better than actual loafing."
He shifted to an easier position and
sazed dreamily up the stretch OF track.
preach with a raucaus blast he seemed
to resent the intrusion and made his way
back to the switch far too leisurely TO
please the passengers.

Nevada's Wild Horses.

state. A one time there was q law in
Nevada permitting the shooting OF these
Wild horses in order to get rid OF them.
The hides were sold and the hunters made

but. as is usually the case, there were
hunters who continually made mistakes,
When out cunning. Many a domestic
morse fell a Victim to the hunters rifles.
This finally became Sc much OF a loss to
the ranchers and others that the law was
repealed. Since that time the droves have
grown and are exceedingly troublesome
The forestry men are ordered to shoot

OUR NERVES.
They May 30 Gained by Silence, Soil
tude and Sleep, Says Ono Writer.

In an article Or Nerves" published In.
the current Harper's Bazaar the story is
told Of n of our noted scientists who:
went to Dresden to consult the famous,
specialist for broken down nerves. On
hearing HIS symptoms the great physician
said indifferent1y:
"Ach so? 1t is probable that you have,
yes. all the gelehrten Learned, have.
neurasthenia naturally The remedy sug-
gested was Play golf and go to Egypt.
You can get Munich beer In Cairo, though.
1T IS disgustingiy expensive there"
Silence, solitude and sleep are the SOW,
ereign remedies suggested for tagged
nerves. Slight daily doses OF the three.
"Ss." 1t is claimed, will prevent a nervous,
~breakdown and may be obtained by even
the most busy people. But "All the,
learned have neurasthenia" is at once a..
warning and a consolation to the brain
worker. To drive the machine with
skill and care is the problem OF the sue,
cessful American.
The writer Of this article urges that we,
ought to thank Gcd that we belong to,
the most nervous. restless. all p~ervading
race the world has seen since the days of
Julius Caesar. 1t is our nerves. that,

When that I loved a maiden

And when they bent above me
I knew no deeper skies;
But when her heart forsook me,
My spirit broke it's bars
For grief beyond the sunset
And love beyond the stars.
When that I loved a maiden
She seemed the world to me;
Now is my soul the universe,

My love beyond the stars.

But when she Glove my heart. the cleft

A WAY OF HIS OWN
Alex Yant Knows How to Make
noney Handling Sheep.

The following interesting interview
with our well known sheepman appear
ed in the Kansas City Drovers Telegram
Of June ]:
ALEX Yant Of Rocky Ford. Colo. has
way Of his own Of making money hand
ling sheep that works well. For several
years Mr.. Yant has been breeding his
ewes so that the lambs come in February
and he then turns the ewes and lambs on
alfalfa pasture and feeds them shelled
corn. As soon as the lambs are old
enough they begin to eat corn. Yester-
day Mr.. Yant brought in a carload Of
these February lambs. numbering 26e
head weighing SIS pounds that brough
right at IS per head. That would make
the carload foot up at s',545. a very
nice sum for lambs but about 100 days
old. "When spring lambs sell at that
price they represent very nice profit"
said Mr.. Yant. 81 generally feed out
each winter about $500 lambs and
practice recently to have some winter
lambs come along about the middle OF
February. and then handle them pretty
well till along about this time and let
them 60. In each transaction have
been very successful. and made good
money at it. So far as the regular win
ter and spring feeding is concerned. be-
lieve that most feeders will come out
ahead. They generally sold at a profit.
and handled their sheep in eonserva-
tive way. And SO far as conditions go
now. everything looks promising. The
Colorado lamb viii be about up to the
full average, and the ranges are good.
We had enough moisture to start grass
early, and so everything is looking good
for the ranehmen. The finish Of the
market this spring on fed lambs certainly
was good. prices being high on all kinds
Of fed sheep. The market experienced
but few breaks. and they lasted but a
short time"
