NO IS
THE TRAMP's GRIEF

I've had fortune. friends and health
I've grdel the and squandered my wealth
I've been "hail fellow we'll metz as they say
I've wined aud I've dined put up the pay
Pve bsen kind to the needy, said 0no"
When asked for assistance ld always bestow
But now am homeless through the street
Ragged and hungry, each that 1 inset
Shuns me, not een pity is seen in the face
For poor wretched fallen into disgrace
Yes said disgrace though a crime
Have yet committed, although nv last dime
Was spent and temptation, sIudder to say
Often whispered its urings day after day.
Tve knocked at the door and asked for some bread
At the very sion (all my pride fed
Where once was welcomed The answer mo,
Be cf-ook for work you idle tramr--go!"
1 know I'm tramp but it happened this way;
had saved something for a "wet deyn
My best friend in trouble, he begged Gods name
To relieve him, he gambled and brought shame
He was sentenced for prison and asked bail
had little left but to keep him from Jail
gave it, he absconded and hat was the end
Of my cash and my trusting and my quondam friend
have learned WISDOM but oh too late,
There talking nor holding debate
Over my folly must suffer, and do;
So let me little advice give to you
If you have as had rends fortune and health
Don't your friends keep tight hold of your wealth
The tear of passion let il moist your eye
But keep fr your fhwners aloof ''high dry''
For after they've used you their best trump
They'll laugh at ard soof you call you "a chump'
And then if you're needy i'll or old
Ard ask for a pitance, yOuT be left In the cold
Well now my pallet il is in a shed,
I've pillow of stone put under my head
An old worn carpet to shelter from air,
That whistles and blows through the crevces there
I'll sleep soundly and dream perhaps of the past
And forget + ia vagrant and oucast,
Without hope or comfort ray of light
To guide the old tramp but no matter-Good night!

LIVE STOCK
ON RANGES
Absolutely Confidential
Treatment of the An
swers to Census
Enumerators.

Inc Onlteu states census Bureau
is making extraordinary prepara-
tiuns to ascertain the approximately
exact number and value of live
stock on the ranges in the United
States on April Is ne xt, the date of
the live stock inventory, as required
by the act of Congress providing tor
the Thirteenth Decennial Census.
Fearful that for one reason or an
other the live. stock raisers may be
deferred from freely stating the mum
Der and value of their holdings, the
Census Bureau is exerting unusual
efforts to assure the ranchmen and
farmers, especially of the western
range states, that their interests,
whether p, rsonal or corporate, can
not possibly be affected in any way
by their frank and full disclosure of
their live stock possessions. The in
formation gathered by the Census
Office is held strictly confidential not
only in respect to the fact that under
no circumstances is it ever impaired
TO any one not connected with the
Census Office, but in respect to its
ever being to any other branch Of the
Government.
ASSURANCE OF SECRECY.
I'm behalf Of the Census Bureau, 4"
said Assistant Director William F.
Willoughby, 81 can give as positive
assurance of the confidential treat
ment of information called for by the
line stock questions in the general ag
ricultural schedule as l could if a
confidence were TO be imposed upon
me personally and privately. The
Census Bureau is concerned only in
the collection aud publication Of sta.
tistical facts. The spirit of every act
of Congress providing for the various
deceuniai censuses have been, and is,
that the information as to individuals
firms, and corporations is to be given
inviolable secrecy 1t is as much
privileged Information" as that i'm
parted by client to lawyer, by
pltient to doctor, by dying man
to a minister. 1t can not even be
impaired to another branch of the
Federal Government, no matter
how much the information may be
desired. No court ever has or ever
will ignore this immunity from per
sonal or business involvement be-
slowed in return for information re-
quired by United States Census in
quiries. To do Otherwise would i'm.
pair, if not wholly destroy, the scien-
tific efficiency Of the census work. So
far as the livestock census is con-
cernced, the bureau, following fair
impartial, and unbiased methods,
quickly separates the person, firm, or
corporation from the facts furnished,
and private or corporate identity in
connection with any census data re-
mains forever sealed and sacred in
the great safes of the Census GfIice."

There is no Likelihood that the adj
ministrations federal corporation
measure will receive favorable action
by either house of Congress al this
session. There has been some re
luctance ON the part of the leaders 10
admit this fact but they have finally
concluded that there is no good end
TO be served by eoncealing it. Two
factors contribute TO this situation.
First it would be impossible TO
adopt legislation of such farreaching
Importance in the face of determined
opposition OF the minority. 1t would
be talked to death in the Senate ev-
on were it possible under whip and
spur TO obtain majority for it in the
House. In the second place there is
grave question regarding the polit-
ical expediency of such legislation.
Democratic administrations regard
ed the Sherman law as dead letter
and finally it fell to Republican ad
ministration; the law came under di.
rection Of Philauder Knox the then
Attorney general and he recusitated d
1t and secured for it such Judicial in.
terPretation as gave it force Since
the decision in the Northern Securi.
ties case Republican administrations
have been seeking assiduously to en-.
force the statue. The wisdom of
seeking now, at time when the end
sought seems ebout to be attained, to
mitigate it's effects is seriously ques-
toned, especially in view of the pres
ent temper of the people. Were the
only sufferers those managers OF
great combinations who have brot
them into being there would be no
hesitation whatever about permitting
them to take the consequences OF
their own lawlessness but the anxi-
ETY. thar is felt is due to a vast num-
Der Of innocent people whom it would
be impossible to save from punish
ment intended for a few.

HORSE FEEDING
BY DR.. A. {. Daniels Gnc)
Continued from last Thursday

Continued from last Thursday
The stabling has much to do with
the quantity of feed horse requires.
II he be housed in an open, old sta
BILE, full of cracks, doors down and
otherwise exposed, he must have a
greater amount Of feed than If he be
housed in a weather-proof, wind-tight
barn.
A sudden change in diet Is not re-
commended. The horse having been
fed on corn-meal or oats, or any
other substantial grains should not
be turned out to gain his living in a
pasture This change should be
made gradually to get the best res
ults. He should have the pasture
but given a smaller proportion Of
grain daily, diminishing in quantity,
until his system has become accus-
toned to the change. Then, too, If
the horse has been at pasture taken
up and given a full corn feed, soon
begins to show the results therein,
by Indigestion and stomach troubles.
Then too, judgment must be used
In quantity of food. A horse re-
quires a much heavier feed while
working hard than he does when en-
joying leisure. Many horses are left
to feed at the hay.stack or from the
NOW. all the hay they can eat until
eating becomes a habit with them.
They take on dyspepsia and eat APP
parently as II they were starved,
soon to be afflicted with heayes.
Three meals a day OF the proper
kind OF food is better than to allow
the horse to eat all he will.
Oats make the best grain feed for
horses. They contain the required
ingredients for the general nutrition
OF the entire system. They are cas-
lily and fully digested and a larger
percentage are brought into use in
building up the entire structure. Oats
one year old plump, bright, clean and
hard, perfectly sweet, are the kind.
Musty, old dusty. dirty, sweated, fer
mented or otherwise injured oats
should never be fed II horse be
aged, crushing the oats gives the best
results. When a horse is a ravenous
eater crushing the oats and spread
ing them over a large surface. prev
ents to a large extent this tendency.
Oats cut. about a week or ten days
before ripening are considered the
best. Musty and mouldy oats, no
doubt, cause paralysis, digestive dis
orders, cold and other dread dlseas-
es. They weaken the system.

Wickersham Decides Panama Canal
Purchasing Agent Cannot Bar Them
Washington, April 2l.-If the
trusts underbid other concerns offer
ing materials needed for the con-
struction of the Panama Canal their
goods must be purchased, according
to an opinion rendered by the Attor-
pey General Incidentally this opin-
ion has a bearing upon an impending
purchase of about $2,OOO,OOO worth
of oil.
Soon after he assumed Office last
year Secretary Dickinson directed
that no contract be entered into with
any corporation which had been ad-
judged a party to an unlawful trust
and monopoly, nor with any middle
men acting for such concerns. But
recently his attention was called to
an act of Congress Of June %, 1906,
requiring that purchases OF material
for the Panama Canal should be made
from the lowest responsible bidded.
He submitted to the attorney general
request for an opinion as to wheth-
er he could lawfully refuse, therefore
to make an award to the lowest bid
der, though that might happen to be
party to an unlawful trust.
The attorney general rendered an
opinion answering the question in
the negative so the secretary Of war
has instructed the purchasing agent
of the Isthmian Canal Commission
accordingly.

Burlington New Library.

The Burlington Railroad today is in
stalling in its Library Cars, complete
new libraries.
For some time past they have been
making an exhaustive investigation of
the question of libraries
most suitable to the travelling public.
About year ago the road added books
bearing the titles selected by DR.. Eliot,
President Emeritus of Harvard Univer-
sity, for his "five-foot SHELF" and af-
ter having kept careful record for
several months of the extent these
books were called for, it was determin-
ed the library was not particularly a.
daptcd to the desires of those who trav-
el, as the books are made up Of what is
commonly known as 'hard reading"
After an investigation extending ov-
er several months, during which we Sc
cured the opinions of literary critics,
newspaper men, and large number of
people who travel extensively, it was
decided to adopt library composed
mostly Of up-to-date short stories Of
foremost American, English and for
eign authors. Each Of the thirty short
story volumes contain stories by at least
five prominent authors. To this sclec.
ton is added standard works of fiction
and some solid reading, including twelve
volumes of Shakespeare and the Bible.
The books comprising the so-called
five foot shelf will be removed and
donated to few public libraries along
the line, where they will no doubt be
found very useful.

Worry Does Kill.

Modern science has brought to light

recent discoveries just how worry does

Therapeutics.
1t is believed by many scientists who
have followed carefully the growth OF
the science Of brain diseases that scores
OF the deaths set down to their causes
are due to worry and that alone. The
theory is simple one, so simple that
any one can readily understand II.
Briefly put. II amounts to this: Wor.
~ Injuries beyond repair certain cells OF
the brain. and the brain being the nu'
tritivc center Of the body. the other or.
gans become gradually injured. and
when some diseases Of these organs or
a combination Of them arises death a.
naily ensues.
Thus worry kills. Insidiously. like
many other diseases. Il ereeps upon the
brain In the form Of single constant

water over period OF years will wear
a groove In the stone so does worry

commanding officers Of mental power,
health and motion.

In the recent primaries in Nebraska
the democrats selected Mayor Dahlmar
of Omaha as candidate for governor.
Dahlman is pronounced anti-local

will make an issue on this question
regardless of party lines.
Sometime ago Bryan gave it out
that, Notwithstanding his defeat in
his attempt to secure a county loca
option plank in the democratic platform,
he would still work with the democratic
party in the county campaign. II

Exhibit Our Products.

"The placing on exhibition of the
products of country at big fairs where
they are viewed by large numbers of
people many of whom are looking for
investments in lands, is one of the best
and cheapest methods of advertising a
country's resources that can be en-
ployed:" Said W. G. Brandinburg,
who was here Wednesday in the interest
of the Inter State Fair to be held in
Denver Sept. 6 to 16 and the Dry Farm
ing Congress to be held in Spokane Oct.
g to 8.
eve are arranging for far greater
fair at Denver than we had last year
and we are setting aside a special list
of sweepstake prizes. Last year the
Phillips county exibit won high honors
with us in competition with irrigated
products.
Your exhibit enabled Colorado to win
first honors at the Inter National Dry
Farming Congress and We must have
a good exhibit from here again in order
to brng the meeting of this important
organization to Colorado next year.
/ am delighted to see crops looking
so well up here - certainly the best I
have seen in any of the non-irrigated
section of the state this year. Indeed
there are irrigated localities that cannot
make as good showing. You have a
great county here and it is bound to
make rapid progress.
