Livestock Notes.

Last August range receipts at Chi
caRo were 74.l0O Thus far In the
month only about $500 have arrived
and .he trade Is not expecting mucn
over $4,000 for the whole month. sep
TENDER and October will be the seasons
biggest months for range marketing
but there is strong prospect that even
these months will bring forth at least
% per cent shortage compared with
the same period Of 1910.
Range cattle are going 10 meet good
market all this season. Judging from
present outlook, tho the medium and
main grades may have to fall re"
no,ches from current levels. With the
ia, ones. however. the situation should
be different Even tho the proportion
of fat ran gers is likely to be liberal
later on. packers bear coolers will nee
essarily need lot Of that kind.
Many stock yard wagers that 1at
cattle would sell at IS before the middle
Of September were cashed prematureiy
Monday when Armour, under stress OF
circumstances. paid that price for three
carloads Of prime bullocks. II was the
highest market since early last oc-
.ober with the exception Of the fat
stock sale in December and the price
is herald Of approaching scarcity
coupled with deficient quality and high
cost. Already the wholesale price OF
dressed beef is ascending and conf
dent prediction is made that fat cattle
made on the new crop Of corn Will
sell at 50 per cwt in Chicago. con-
vic,ion exists that the scarcity OF cattle
is Of more serious concern than
shortage OF corn. Beef makers will not
fill feed lots with high feed bill and
expensive stock cattle prohibiting profit
at the outset.

Germ Of many seemingly good people 10
not to avoid doing bit Of smuggling

sembles the one that leads folks to

A lot Of folks feel they have right
to get things into the county free OF
duty and they regard It as no moral
obliquity to beat Uncle Sam III ANY
way possible. And not only Is this feel
ing prevalent among actual violators
Of the law but plenty Of people who do
not violate the law as to customs dues
themselves are willing to wink at 1t II
their neighbor does 1t. Even the courts
find it hard apparently to get away
from this tendency. The best the treas
ury officials hope for is to gradually
bring about a stricter law enforcement
and in time to get the courts generally
TO hold to the rule Of failing the snug

most of the temptation to smus8ls or

Probably Got Off.

Apropos Of certain unfounded
charges Of drunkenness among the
naval cadets at Annapolis, Admiral
Dewey, at a dinner In Washington,
told a story about a young sailor.
THE sailor, after a long voyage"
he said, went ashore in the tropics,
and, 1t being 4 hot day, he drank, In
certain tropical bars, too much beer.
"As the sailor lurched under his
heavy load along a palm-bordered ave
nue., his captain hailed him indie-
nant1y.
look here the captain said, sup
pose you were my commander, ana
you met me In such a condition -
you're in now, what would you do to
me?
why, SIR said the sailor, 7 would.
MT condescend to take no notice Of
you at all, SIR"

University Professor Suicides.

Lancaster County.-Prof. F. j. Phil
lips, professor of forestry at the State
university, committed suicide at his
home in Lincoln by inhaling gas. Prof.
Phillips left three letters, one of
which was addressed to his wife, in
structing her how to notify the prop
er officers when the body was dis
covered. The other letters were ad-
dressed to the chief of police and cor
oner. Two weeks ago Prof. Phillips
had been offered an assistant profess
sorship in the University of Michigan.
He declined this on the advice of
Chancellor Averey. In his letters Prof.
Phillips asserted that he feared that
he would soon become a chronic in
valid and would be a constant bur-
den to his family. He was 80 years
Of age and a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Michigan. He was secretary
of the Michigan Athletic board when
a student there. The professor was
one of the most popular instructors at
the university.

Turpentine and Forests.

You do not know the %turpentine tap
pers, but if you come to Florida you
will soon find them out. 1t is a curl
Gus business that will deliberately de-
stroy all the forests of a half dozen
states for a little immediate gain; and
still more curious is the lassitude that
allows the destruction to go on. The
French have a method of tapping trees
which gives a profitable return and
leaves the trees practically uninjured.
In this way an industry is perpetuated,
but our American tapping is another
thing.
The trees are cut with a broad ak,
hewing out great slices and leaving
scars from which the resin flows into
boxes at the bottom of the cut and is
scraped once a month into casks. The
cut is repeated each year, and in six
or seven years the tree is exhausted.
So go great forests of pine that stand
80 to 100 feet high, leaving us thou
sands of acres of standing lumber
which will be cut down by portable
sawmills. The end of it all is q bag
gard waste.-E. P. Powell, in Outing.

His Head Mas Hard.

1t is a common belief that the ne
gro's head is hard, capable of with
standing almost any blow.
The following story told by a promf
nent young dentist of Danville, Ill.
would seem to indicate something Of
the kind anyhow. Two negro men
were employed on tearing down .
three-story brick building. One ne
gro vas on top of the building taking
off the bricks and sliding them down
a narrow wooden chute to the ground,
some thirty feet below, where the
other was picking them UP and piling
them.
When this latter negro was stoop-
ing over to pick up a brick the former
accidentally let one fall, striking him
directly on the head.
Instead of its killing him, he merely
locked up, without rising, and said.
What you doin' thar, niger, you
make me bite my tongue.'-The Cir
Gle. :

complete bewilderment, the captors,

disappear utterly from the face of the

In the woods to her left she thought
she heard a horse neigh; then she saw
