fastened to a similar pin in the left
corner post. The right horn is cut.
the brand applied and the job is done.
The bar ID is removed. the stanchion
opened and the pressure on the sides
released. The animal now comes out
the front end of the chute right
through the stanchion and usually into
another corral. or course he may be
let back the way he came in, but most
men prefer to have the dehorned cat
tie separate from the rest.
To use device OF this kind con-
veniently there must be long mar
row lane or chute leading up to the
back entrance of the dehorning chute
from the main corral. The front end
OF the chute should open into another
corral. Cattle are very much opposed
to entering an arrangement OF this
kind unless the corrals are such that
they cannot help 1t.
The dimensions given are for the
average run Of mixed stun. II many
heavy steers are to be dehorned the
chute should be heavier and higher.
II is often found with thin stun that
the movable sides press on the hip
bones instead OF on the fleskier parts
OF the body. This may knock the
skin of the hips and cause consider
able pain besides not holding the ami.
NAL securely. This defect. however.
may be easily remedied by mailing
horizontally along each side a piece
2x10 inches or 2xS inches just below
the level Of the animals hips. This
puts the pressure on the sides In
stead Of on the hip bones. These
| pieces may Just as well be put on al
the very first. as they are pretty sure
| to be needed.

Attorneys shrewdness Won.

Lawyers and court attaches heard
to-day a new story about the late
Judge Gary. says the Chicago Journal.
A prominent criminal lawyer had an
important case before the venerable
jurist which he wanted to win, ran
the tale. Judge Gary's thrusts at
counsel and his droll jokes, however.
diverted the attention of the jrEors
from the lawyer to the court. The at
torney was desperate. He decided to
bring his talent" into play.
Judge Gary soon observed what
was going on and, halting the trial,
addressed the lawyer:
"Sir. are you chewing tobacco in
the courtroom and shooting at that
cuspidor? That, sir, is filthy habit
which no gentleman would indulge
in"
But your honor also is susceptible
to the habit replied the attorney,
land your honor is gentleman. Fur
thermore. l can bring 500 witnesses
to testify that / am gentleman"
"Well." slowly replied the venerable
jurist in his characteristic nasal
twang, that would be only a matter
of opinion. Proceed with the exami
nation"

Hints for the SIeepIess.

For those who are subject to insom
mia, that troublesome of all complaints:
try deep breathing and rid the mind
of all thought as far as possible.
Remove all clothing worn through
the day and sleep on a hard bed. Re
lax all the muscles even of the jaw.
Have plenty of fresh air coming into
the sleeping room all the time with
sufficient covering to keep warm. A
small pillow or none at all is best a.
the more nearly horizontal the body
is the less effort is needed by the
heart to send the blood to the ex
tremities.
Do not sleep in a room with gas OF
lamp burning, or where 1t has beer
using up the oxygen Cor some hours.
Another point to be remembered 1,
the food of person subject to in
somnla. Nothing should be eaten foi
the evening meal which is at all dis
turbing to the digestion.
Associate with restful people,; dc
not study and burden the mind during
the evening. A glass Of warm mill
slipped slowly just before retiring has
been helpful to many, while Others
find a dry cracker good to allay the
"all gone" feeling some people have
during the night.
In extreme cases an Ice bag at ths
back Of the head and neck and a no,
water bag at the feet have proven very
successful in inducing sleep.
Think pleasant thoughts, no matter
what the day has been; cheerfulness 1,
great aid in all troubles of mind ol
body. Most physicians recommend
sleeping on the right side. while others
recommend the left.
There is an old custom OF having the
bed with the head toward the nortf
and foot toward the south, said to b,
good to keep people In health be
cause Of the electric currents which
pass from pole to pole. However tha
may be, see that the bed stands wher,
its occupants may have plenty of fresl
air. which is the important thing II
keeping In good health.

Cost Of Living.

There are probably many causes for
the higher prices in living besides the
tariff and the trusts. We need to be
reminded that we are not living In the
days when the housewife took her
market basket on her arm and went
to the grocers' and butchers to get
her supplies.
The meat was divided among neigh
bors in those days when a calf or hog
was killed. the neighbors had their
share and paid II back when 1t came
their turn, so that fresh meat was not
very expensive.
To-day, after meat has passed
through so many hands. by the time
II has reached the consumer II Is not
surprising that "the COW has jumped
over the moon"
When we take thought of the tele.
phone In the grocers' store, the clerk
to answer 1t. the conveyances for de.
livering goods (even an yeast cake) to
our doors, the reason for high prices
need not be hard to find The merchant
must have his profit and we pay for
the telephone and the delivery service
1t costs to put food up In attractive
boxes with the advertising matter on
them. 1t costs to advertise In the pa.
pers; somebody must pay. The old
proverb that three women and a
goose make a Market" would not hold
good to-day.
The travelling expenses of much OF
our food is equal to or moro than its
first cost Fruits must be transported
In especially fitted cars ane this trans
portation II expensive. We must pay
for 1t in the higher prices.
Meat producers say that thsre Is
plenty of meat: but everybody wants
choice cuts; there are not enough tc
60 around. for the size of the animal
the choice meat is In small proportion
The high price of meat may be ol
great benefit, II We open our eyes tc
the fact that we need less and sub
stitute for meat many of those good
foods rich in proteid.

Money and expense are not essential 70
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform crude, inAr.
tistic room into graceful. dainty apart
ment.
Really IL Is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is expensive--it costs money
to buy it, to hang it and again to re.
move it. With the use Of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost OF the
material-any one can brush IL on--and y
is not necessary to wash it Of the wall
when fresh coat is required.
II is very easy to mix, very simple -
apply, but the results are simply beauti.
fll. A whole house can be done ct just
little more than the cost of single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this il true, that now that we have
so much better materials for use. in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper
common kalsomine and paint are now -
much out of date as the old time white
wash, tallow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an e.
sential in good housefurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and laborsaving ma.
chimes are most welcome to us all-and
every thoughtful woman, every woman
who cares for her home, is quick to utilize
them

The Shepherd and His Sheep.

In England many shepherds shear
sheep and lambs before putting them
on fall feed. but the practice is dying
out
When sheep-shearing machines first
came into use there was much preju.
dice against them because they made
many wounds.
A little practice with a machine
quickly demonstrated that the work
can be done better with 1t than by
hand
A nice fat sheep. well shorn with q
machine. looks somewhat fatter than
1t really is. doubtless because the
work is so evenly done.
II you did not look carefully to the
sailing Of your sheep when first put
on pasture this spring. you doubtless
lost some from bloat.

Saddles Last Resort.

Sadie, aged three, who had been
put to bed for an afternoon nap. felt
more inclined for play than sleep; but
her nurse. coaxed back twice on some
pretext. had refused to return again.
Resentfully she thought Of baby
brother in the next room. At the
slightest sound from him some one
always hurried to the nursery. The
next instant she slipped out of bed
and opened the door of the adjoining
room.
A minute later both mother and
nurse. aroused by piercing walls.
rushed upstairs to see what was the
matter. The baby. his little face
screwed into knot, lay in his crib,
exercising his lungs to their utmost
capacity. Beside him stood his small
sister.
II thought you'd come" she de-
clared. a wicked gleGm of satisfaction
in her eyes.

"what have you been doing to Rob
ert?"
II pinched him!" was the surprising
answer.-Lippincott's

spanish poIIteness.

The Spanish grandee is about the
most polite man in the world. for he
has no business cares. Polite.lass and
cigarettes are his only business. 1San
Antonio, Tex. is the most Iharmingly
polite town upon this continent, yet
San Antonio is cosmopolitan city.
There are almost as many foreigners
as native southern gentlemeH and IL

sees nothing but the softest. gen.lest

tions to ladies are always beyond

Is not far to seek. II was not long

feet the principle involved The plan
given is for branding on the right hip
but II may be easily modified for
branding on any spot desired, writes
Ermine L. Potter of Oregon Agricul-
tural college, In Breeders Gazette.
The four posts used for the corners
should be strong and set deeply in the
ground. about five feet apart in the
clear. The right-hand posts should ex-
tend 5h feet above the ground and
the others seven feet above ground.
For framing 2x6-inch lumber is about
right. although strong poles may DO
used just as well.
Inch stun is all right for the siding.
The left side is made stationary and
the bottom is set in about fifteen
inches. The right side is hinged by
two bolts, G and H. The sides must
not be much more than ten inches
apart at the bottom. The squeezing
power is applied by block and tackle
attached at the points A and b. Two
small double pulleys and an old lariat
rope will do very we'll
The front end is made like COM
mon stanchion. The post is station
ary while X is fastened at the bottom
with single bolt and is held in place
at the top by the lever e. which is
notched on the under side to catch on
the top of the corner post. When II Is
desired to open the stanchion this
lever is raised to disengage the notch
and X pulled back against the corner
post. The post J should be placed
pretty well toward the left corner
post, since the animal is pressed
against the left side during the opera
ton. This also allows the stanckion
to be opened very wide so that the
larger cattle may get through with
out difficulty. The right side Is shown
cut down so that the hip may be
readily reached with the iron. Any
part Of the siding may be cut down
Just as we'll. In any case the side
should be higher than is shown in the
drawing. especially In front. It is
shown low in this case so that the
construction may be better illustrated
In using the chute. the bar c is re-
moved and the stanchion opened, but
the bar ID is left in its place II this
bar Is out the animal may go right on
through the stanchion; In fact, II may
be necessary to use more than one
bar In this place. Just as soon as the
animal is in place clamp the stanchion
shut. put up the bar G and close the
squeeze gate with rope L. Now take
a pair Of bull pincers or spring nose
clamps with about three feet of rope
attached. Fasten these in the ami

This pin may be an old bolt or a

use halter in place Of nose clamp

looked suspicious and some the town
people suspected something was
wrong. Anton ChristiansOn had a key
that fitted the lock on the door of Mr..

he was all right again. In speaking
Of the experience Mr.. Lucken says

KINDRED HAS A
$4,000 FIRE

Kindred, Dec. "A $4,000 fire re-
suited Wednesday night as the result
| Of the explosion Of kerosene lamp
in the Offices of DR.. A. J. JUL. The
| flames at once spread to other build
ings and before the flames could be
subdued the Max Strehlow drug store,
the Tribune building and cont nts and
other structures were completely
wiped out.
| DR.. H. Haugen, Dr.. A. J. Juul and
! Dave Morris, who had apartments
above the burned buildings, were un.
able to save any of their property
from destruction.
The fire lasted about two hours, but
during that time had reduced the
three buildings to ashes and but for
the heroic work of the citizens of the
little town, the entire village would
have been destroyed.
The Tribune owned and operated
by John Van Arnam, was one of the
best equipped plants in this section
Of the state and the loss here will be
close to $4,000. The Slrehlow loss is
estimated at nearly $4,000. The
amount of insurance upon the prop
ery could not be learned last night,
owing to the telephone station hav
ing been in the burned drug store.

GIRL near Death
IN A FLYING BELT

Glendale, N. D., Dec. 2.-The TO-
?ear-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walger, residing 1t Monango, was seri,

revolving shaft at the Caldwell ele-
ator. She was playing near the shaft
and the wind blew her clothing against
he of the knuckles of the tumbling
rod. In moment the child avs be.
ing whirled around, striking the
ground with each revolution. Her
mother first discovered her, but de-
spite her frantic efforts was unable
to release her. Robert Hafey heard
her screams and stopped the machin-
ey. 1t was found the child had both
legs broken above the knee and had
one arm wrenched from it's socket
Nth a compound fracture at the
shoulder.
