Euiogy on tho Cow.

Grand and noble brute, OF all mans
animal friends she is the greatest. To
her We owe the most; examine into oil
the different ramifcations and channels
OF our commerce into which she enters
and note the result. Should she be blot
ted out, q Sunday stiffness would per-
wade the greatest stock yards OF our
cities. Grass would grow In the streets; |;
seventy five per cent Of the great freight
trains that now plow the continent from
ocean to ocean, would side track, for
there would be nothing for them to do;
fully so per cent Of the laborers OF
America would draw no pay on Satur-
day night; our tables would be bare OF
the greatest luxuries with which they
are now covered; the great western
plains, which she has made blossom,
financially, like the rose, would revert
to tho Indian, from whom they came,
and millions Of prosperous homes would
be destroyed. None other like the COW.
There Is not thing from nose to tail
but what is utilized for use of man. We
use her horns to comb our hair; her hair
to keep the plastering on our walls; her
skin is on our feet and on our horses
backs; her feet are made into glue; her
tail makes soup; she gives our milk, our
cream, our cheese, our butter, and her
flesh is the greatest meat of all nations;
her blood is used to make our sugar
white; her bones, when ground, make
the greatest fertilizer; even her paunch,
which she herself has put through the
first chemical process, is used for the
manufacturing Of the best white board
paper.
No other animal works for man both
day and night. By day she gathers the
food, and when we are asleep at night,
she brings it back to rechew and manu-.
facture into all things of which speak.
1t was her sons that broke the sod in the
settlers clearings; it was her sons that
drew the prairie schooner for the sturdy
pioneers, as inch by inch they fought to
prove that "westward the star of empire
takes its way" and the old COW grazed
along behind. Who says that what we
are, we do not owe to mans best friend
the cow?-COl. Woods in Denver Ex.

The dairy cow with profuse flow Of
milk and low cream test is robbing US
by cutting down the profits Of the whole
herd, for she eats just az much high
priced feed and requires as much care
and attention as the COW that turns in
twice as much money. The Babcock,
or some other test equally as reliable,
detects these robbers; while q quick, sale

A Wizard From The Orient

A Chinese conjuror named Ching
Ling Foo came to New York recently
and caused quite a sensation. The
papers gave him lots of space and the
public talked about him. What he
did passed the bounds of the knowl-
edge of other magicians, and scien-
lists haven't got any theory so far
concerning how his tricks were ac-
complished.
Mildred and Rouclere went to see
him several times and got on to his
curves so cleverly that they were able
to very shortly duplicate every one
of his receptions and will present two
or three of them or any special ones
that are requested by the audience.
1t is the policy of the management
of Mildred and Rouclere to present
nothing but what is new and their
own, and aside from the Implications
of some of Ching Ling Foo's magic,
tbs policy will closely be adhered to
on their engagement here.
They will present here at the Co.
lonial Theatre Saturday their big
sensational production in three acts
The Flight of Princess Iris" with
big company of singers, dancers and
pretty girls. 1t promises to be the
one real novelty of the season.

Already number of the big col

Mr.. CLARK TO LEAVE
Head Clerk Of CarveI Hall To Resign
Position

Mr.. Clark. who for the past year has
been head clerk at Carvel Hall, has re-
signed and will vacate his position on
Thursday Sept. Is.
Mr.. Clark will be succeeded by Mr..
w. j. Seeley formerly proprietor of
the Hotel Alphin. Hot Springs. Va.
which was destroyed by fire a few
weeks ago. Mr.. Seeley brings with
him to the position of clerk at Carvel
Hall, a position he held most success
fully for several years, much experience
in the hotel business. Mr.. Seeley is
popular with large circle of friends,
and possesses that patience and for
bearance so much needed in the buis-
ness life, especially the hotel business.
Mr.. Seeley is peculiarly adapted to the
hotel business. He never forgets his
manners, as so mnay others are inclined
to do. He is always polite and cour-
teous, obliging and painstaking. 1t is
hoped by Carvel Hall patrons that Mr..
Seeley has come to Carvel Hall to stay.

HE SAW CATS GALORE
WOrshipper Al Bacchus' Shrine Is Dis.
turbed-And Shoots

A man who by day is a mechanic, and
at night worshipper at the shrine of
Bacchus, had more than been faithful
in his attention to his duties fell by the
wayside a few nights ago. 1t must be
admitted that he is a graduate in the
science of Boozology. and is now TAX
ing post graduate course. After
making the rounds of the places that
advance one in the mysteries of the
text books he felt tired and wandered
to his pallet and. soon was wrappted in
the arms of Morpheus and Morpheus
was hugging tightly. In the morning he
was awakened by the meowing of cat
and rushed to the window to see what
species of cat could produce such a
noise. Being Sunday morning the in
cident was more noticeable. He looked
out of the window. and gave one yell of
a frightened man and grabbed his gun
and fired point blank at the intruder.
He saw cats to the right of him, cats
to the left of him, and cats above and
below him? and now he is shy at the
very mention of the word cat.

Coming Next Week

Fred Raymond's famous comedy,
The Missouri Girl" will be the at
traction at the Colonial Theatre on
Monday, September 80. The fact that
this is the fifteenth season for this
play is most conclusive proof that
good, clean, wholesome theatrical
productions are always welcome and
generously patronized by the theatre
going public. The comedy is so
closely interviewer with bits of pathos
and such sensational incidents as
would actually occur in the lives of
such people as exist in The Missouri

in simplicity and interest in play

Report that He
Squeezed Shorts
Not in a Cotton Corner, but He Looks
for Higher Prices on
Wheat.

CHICAGO H., April 24-(Special Tele-
gram flames A. Patten, credited all over
the country with having cornered the cot
ton market and created a panic among
shorts in that commodity, resulting indi-
rectly in the investigation begun by At
torney General Wickersham, returned to
Chicago today after a brief visit in New
York and laughed IN the face of the cotton
corner saying:
THE story will not hold water, no mat
ter how hard they try TO make it look like
truth.
There is no cotton corner at this time
and has been none so far as I am con-
sidered. What is true is that conditions
warrant a belief in much higher cotton
than now rules, and so l am buying cot
ton. So are a good many other men who
believe as do"

big game involving himself and ]. Ogder
Armour, said:

braska wheat will have to go higher"
