Those Vermonters that are afflicted
with the western fever especially
that type of unrest which leads them
to regard the Northwest as the most
desirable Mecca at the present time
on the footstool-might be benefited,
if not entirely cured, by reading the
reports from the two Poultney men
who are in Montana. They have just
taken a drive of 500 miles in Montana
and Wyoming and report that that
entire section of the country is practi-
cally parched and that cattle are dy-

and grass. These reports and others
like them rather Justify the News In

SOME SHORT STORIES BY YOUNG JUNIOR WRITER'S

were when the voice whispered;
shadows, darkness, winter and rain;
Death, the grave, and then life again.
The rags were then gathered and put
in a bundle for the rag man. who came
by with many more rags in an old
handcart He gave the lady few
cents and laid the little wornout gar
ments on his cart and took them to
the paper mill. At the paper mill they
were made into clean sheets of smooth,
white paper, as white as the cotton
flakes had been. From here they were
taken to the printing office and on
these sheets were printed the Oldest
and most beautiful story that has ever
been told, and the most beautiful
thought of the story is that it is true.
Then the sheets were taken to
place where they were bound together
in soft leather covers. / have not told
you the name of the book, for | think
you all know. The leaves knew, and
they rustled for very joy, for on one of
them was written in shining letters,

came. the balls burst and and the
plants were covered with fakes OF
snowy whiteness, and passers by said;
What beautiful cotton" Then did the
plants rejoice when they beheld their
beauty. But in the midst of their re-
joicing they murmured, This is surely
the end" And again the voice whis-
pered: Fear not, did ] not say to
thee that greater glory was thine to
be?' and they were again happy. Then
the nights grew long and cold and
white frost lay upon the cotton and its
dry branches rustled in the wind.
One day the farmer came with
basket and as he gathered the white
flakes he said, This is the finest cot
ton / ever raised" The next day he
loaded the cotton on his wagon and
drove with it to large city, where
there was large cotton gin. Here
the seeds were taken from the flakes.
Then was the cotton taken to a great
mill where it was woven into fine cloth
Then said the cotton, which was now
cotton cloth, Surely the end draws
nigh" But the faithful voice answered
as before: a,The seeds, the flowers, and
the cotton white, after the darkness
the morning light" And comfort came
once more.
From the mill the cloth was taken to
a dry goods store and placed upon
shelf with many other pieces OF cloth.
one day a beautiful lady came and
asked to look at the best muslin. The
clerk laid the finest piece in the store
on the counter, and the lady, after
looking at it for while, said: Il will
take it ALL" She took it home and
made it into little garments for sweet
children to wear. They were worn for
a long while; they were many times
: washed and ironed, and the lady said:
"These clothes are made of the strong
est the finest and the best goods I
ever bought" But no muslin can last
forever, and knally this was worn to
shreds.
Then the old worn out rags said to
one another: Surely, the voice can not
comfort us now, for this is the last
of earth" But oh! how glad they

Cotton
ny RUBY MULANAx, AGE "A

ONG ago there lay in a paper en-
velope on dusty shelf few small
brown seeds. One day a farmer
came and bought these seeds, carried
them home and planted them in a nice
straight row near his house. and as he
planted them he called them cotton.
Mother Earth was very kind to them
She nourished them tenderly. The soft
rains fell upon them, and the sun
warmed and cheered them. In a few
weeks they grew to be sturdy plants.
and tender buds appeared on their
branches. The buds grew till finally
they burst into beautiful blossoms of
creamy whiteness.
When in full bloom they looked at
each other in amazement and wondered
how they, the little brown seeds, could
have grown to be so beautiful. The
soft breezes famed them, the little
birds hoped beneath their branches,
and in the glory of the early morning
the dewdrops shone on their leaves like
jewels. They were very happy now,
and yet they sometimes felt sad; they
said to one another, by and by our
white blossoms will wither and be
blown away like other flowers" Then
a still voice out of somewhere seemed
to whisper, Fear not, fear not but
listen to me. Greater glory shall come
to thee" And then were the plants
comforted.
In a short time it was as they had
thought--their beautiful blossoms
withered and were blown away, but in
their place came small green bolls,
which grew and ripened to a golden
brown in the August sunshine. BY and
by when the cool days of September

Smallboy is a Californian and In his
four years Of life he had never ex-
perienced a summer storm until he
went east In August and was aston
ished at the spectacle OF lightning dart

followed by a sharp rattle and crack
like musketry and the distant booming
Of thunder. and Smallboy danced with
excitement.
Presently he sat down and tried to
reason out what it all might mean, this
noisy demonstration in heaven where
the angels live. His puzzled face sud

II important part in reducing the
high cost of beef. According to gov
eminent experts who have made an
investigation of the cost and methods
of raising venison, declare that the
game laws of the various states are
preventing deer and elk farming and
denying the country one Of its chief
sources of cheap and good meat Deer
and elk can be raised readily in near
ly every state in the Union. They are
easily controlled and cheaply fed.
The increase of elk under domestica.
ton is fully equal to that of cattle.
They are harder and more able to
stand exposure and the elk hide is
more valuable than that of the steer.
The Virginia or Whitehall deer, COM
mon in most parts of the United
States, Is not so hardy as the elk, but
with proper care can be raised with
profit.
The state and the government,
through it's Yellowstone park officials,
have co-operated with individual
ranchmen in caring for the vast herds
of elk in the Jackson's Hole region in
Wyoming. 1t is estimated that there
are 10000 elk in the Yellowstone park
region, constituting the only great
herd left. For two or three winters
these elk have been fed, and have now
