What Smythe Did.

"Once upon time there lived a
good man who was soliciting contri-
buttons for the erection of an orphan
asylum" said the story teller He
had been to many rich people and re
ceived liberal contributions, which
were entered in a book he had for
that purpose. Among these many
names appeared Mrs. Rupert Smythe.'
The good man went to Mr. Smythe's
office, and, showing him the contri-
button entered by Mrs. Smythe,
asked if he would not give a like
sum. And what do you suppose he
did,"
We'll, | suppose he doubled it." re-
marked a listener.

Question of Dogs.

One of those troublesome and per-
petual questions is connected with
just plain dogs. While no one can
gainsay the right of every individual
to keep such pets as he chooses from
mice to gorillas, provided these ami
mails do not disturb any other indi-
vidual in either his person or prop
erty, there is a question as to how
far ones pets should be permitted to
disturb or annoy another.
This is entirely apart from such un
fortunate individuals as have no sort
of use for pets of any kind and who
would speedily annihilate anything
that could be called pet.
Should or should not dogs be al
lowed to run loose, muzzled or un-
muzzled? Danger of biting persons
or other animals to their lasting in
jury or death is too real and too we'll
understood to require discussion. But
there are other disturbances. For in
stance, a number of dogs can do as
much damage to a lawn or among
flowers and shrubbery as horses.
Have or have not property owners
any rights in this respect? 1t might
be we'll for them to know The time
of year is coming when flowers and
shrubs will be planted and lawns will
be put in condition. Should ones
neighbours dog be allowed to run un-
restricted across lawns and among
flowers?
Probably the ordinary man will
answer that question by feeling, at
least, that the neighbor should keep
his dog to himself, but the weaknesses
and failings of mankind in this CON
nection are too we'll known. Dogs
will not stay at home. Dogs will de
stroy flowers and break down shrubs.
Any modification of this condition
must come from outside the dog
family.
Perhaps execution is bit drastic,
yet ones temper after the discovery
of injury like this would, perhaps, be
sufficient for even this emphatic pro-
test against needless injury Dogs
might be kept at home, if they are
kept at all, and the neighbours prop
erty protected by ones own apprecia-
ton of what often occurs when they
run at e.-Hackensack Record

KEEPING up QUALITY
IN The DAIRY HERDS
Raise Calves From Best Cows,
Importance Of the Sire.

Dairymen differ to some extent ON
the kind Of COW which is most profita-
BILE. Some prefer u general purpose
COW, one that is mixed with the milk
producing family and the beef breed
of cattle, writes l.. G. Johnson in
Farm and Ranch. Such cows are of
large build and easily fattened when
not in milk, and should one prove un-
profitable she can be put on the mar
ket for beef at a good price. Such
cows, too, have large calves that are
profitable at the proper age for veal
or to keep owe until they are two
years old, then sell to cattle dealers.
Some prefer, myself included, cat
tie Of the distinct type especially
adapted to milk producing. This class
includes several families or breeds of
cattle, but all have the marked char
acteristics Of milk producers. The
best way to keep up the herd to its
desired number Of good cows is by
breeding and raising the calves from
the best mixers of the herd.
l do not like the idea Of buying and
bringing new cows into the herd. as 1t
is dangerous. and many a herd have
had disease brought among them by
the purchase Of a single COW and
bringing her into the herd. I always
save the fourth or fifth calf Of my
best mixers and breed them at two
years old and at the same time weed
out the cows that are Improbable.
The choice Of the bull Is of very
great Importance, and the saying thai
the bull Is half the herd should moi
be forgotten by the dairyman. as every
calf added to the herd takes half it,
blood from the bull. One COW may
prove a poor dam and fail to breed FOL
q eason and yet give a profit in milk
Such a fault is but a trivial n ant

bull proves a poor sire the increase TO-

The Art Of Longevity.

Hundreds Of Settlers Seek Locations
In Flathead Reserve.
KALIsPELL, Nov. 1.-The opening
of the Flathead Indian alton to
settlement today brought one of the
most exciting and dramatic rushes for
land that has been seer In the country
in recent years, and it promises to be
followed by complications that will
keep the land Offices in Kalispell and
Missoula busy for many weeks to
come.
AT dark last night hundreds of meu
were scattered over the reservation on
lands near to those they hoped to Sc.
cure, and when the clock struck II
they went over the line with q rush.
On foot. on horseback, and with teams,
there was q ace for the choice tracts
Some settlers were content to pitch q
tent; Others began the hasty construc.
ton Of houses; some had provided
ready.built houses, which were hauled
out to the land selected; many began
blowing or digging wells; anything to
make it plain that they have settled
on the tracts they claimed.
Many of the settlers remained or
their claims, and are said toda y to be
holding them down, but many, ate,
leaving some visible notice of theil
settlement, hurried to Poison, Dayton,
and other points on the lake, where
steamers and launches were taken te
get them cross the lake and by raj
to Kalispell before the land Office op-
ened at 9 o'clock this morning.
Long before the land Office opened
line of men had formed down the cor
ridor and stairs and out into the stree
and others arrived every minute.
Those who we're on hand at 8 O'CLOCK
were given numbers, and they wer,
called to make fling in order. Tit
land Office is disposing of the applica
lions as rapidly as possibly, but ii
will be several days before the Grove
is thinned out, and as the settlers ar
given 80 days 10 which to file, there
will be a procession from the reserva'
ton to Kalispell for several weeks L
come.
The reserva alton was originally op
ened on the registration plan, and
more than loo, 600 persons registered
for the drawing. Six thousand nance
were drawn, and of these 5000 wer'
called in May last, about l 200 appear

IN TAFT.

One OF the present day sources OF
strength in this country 10 the calm,
cool self possession of President Taft
in the midst of the turmoil which has
been stirred up by party strife and the
proclamation of new aud sens tional
doctrines aud theories.
He has so much strong common
sense and ia go deliberate in all he
says and does that every one disposed
to become hysterical is reminded of
the fact that he GEES no occasion for
excitement. He looks over the whole
field Of national activity, he sees the
different forces which are at work, and
he keeps under observa alton the men
who are trying to undermine his inlu-
ence. But he does not let anything
disturb him. He keeps q cool head
and a steady hand; and there is moth
ing q country needs more under such
circumstances than just such an atti.
tude on the part of its chief msgis-
trate, says the Denver Republican.
President Taft has acquired 90
strong q hold on the public confidence
that it is all the more fortunate tina,
he does not let himself be led into
party controversies, and also that he
avoids giving approval to the wild
theories and sentimental suggestions
Of reform which are heard from one
end of the country to the other. He
is not . "graud.stsnd player" Re
is not trying to make himself popula,
by doing sensational things. On thu
contrary, be goes along quietly, and
yet gives constant assurance that be
is on guard and that no public duty
is neglected.
To this attitude on his part more
than to anything else the returning
confidence Of the business world is due,
Business men observe him and thei,
fears of agitation and disturbance de-
cline; and the more they study him the
greater will their confidence become
He is Just the kind of q man the coun'
try has needed; and the people art
finding new occasion almost every
day to rejoics that by good fortune
they chose him for the presidency two
years ago.
