 When you come to get grown up and in business for yourself, employ ing many people and hiring other peo- pie to look after them, bear this in mind when it comes to hiring bosses.

EXPERT COWBOYS or SPAIN
Mounted Herdsmen of the AndaIusian Plains are Fine Looking Fellows
 and SkilIfuI Horsemen.

The perfection of Spanish horse vaqueros, ganaderos or garrochistas, by which various names the mounted herdsmen of the Andalusian plains are known-in brief, what we should call \ a cowboy. Every farm seems to maintain larg number of these, for each herd, flock or drove has it's own herdsman, goatheard, or swineherd, as the case may be. The vaqueros are a fine-looking lot of men Tall, thin, light and loosely made, they look ideal horsemen-as, in point of fact, they are, though their mounts are poor.
 The vaquero rides very high on a huge saddle, with long stirrup and straight leg, using single rein and very heavy curb; but he has such beautiful hands that, although using this barbarous bit, he never cuts his horses mouth about. It is different with the animals sides, however, for he uses his spurs without mercy, and the white horses-of which there are a large number-all have ominous red stains behind the girths
 All the herdsmen who look after cattle carry long lance, called gar rocha, of thick and heavy wood. which, except when standing still. they always carry "in rest" and not lat the carry" presumably on account of it's great length and possibly it's weight. With this weapon, in the use of which he acquires amazing dex- terity, the garrochista is able to con trol the most unruly brutes in his herd, not excepting the savage fight ing bull.-Wide World.

Payino Taxes In Kind,

The natives of the Congo pay their taxes in kind, as might be expected in a territory just beginning to be civilized. The value of domestic ani- mals in that country is such that one wishes it were nearer London, in view of the high price of meat here. A bullock is valued at about 19s Sd, a COW G2 2s, horse E3 15s, sheep Is Sd. The camel commands the highest price, viz s4.
 The custom of payment in kind is not so remote as most persons would think. The Reverend the late Profes- sor Flint of Edinburgh, we know, has stated that during the time he was professor of moral philosophy in St Andrews he was accustomed to re ceive part of the emoluments of his chair in kind from the farms belong ing to the university. This would be prior to 1876. in which year he was translated to Edinburgh.-Londor Globe.

ATWOOD FINED FOR SPEEDING. Costs the Aviator $5 to Drive 2S Miles
 an Hour in Fifth Avenue.

New York, Sept. Hilary N. At wood was driving an automobile north in Fifth avenue. near Fifty first St last night, when Patrolman Saber stopped him and handed him a sum- mons to appear in the YorkvilIe Po- lice court this morning to answer a charge of speeding at the rate of twen- ty-eight miles an hour between Forty eighth and Fiftieth Street.
 ''Oh shucks!" exclaimed Atwood "why don't you arrest me and take me to Night Court? I've got to go to Mineola to take part in an aviation meet tomorrow"
 "All right" answered the policeman, 'I'll oblige you. Come along"
 Atwood was arraigned before Magis- trate O'Connor, who asked if he had been speeding.
 T don't know Judge" responded At wood. "I haven't any speedometer on my car.''
 twill you deny that you were going as fast as the officer says, who timed you?''
 'No, won't'' declared Atwood
 Five dollars then" said the Maeis- trate.
 Atwood paid the fine. When leaving the court he said he had not made up his mind yet whether or not to com pete for the s50,0OO Hearst prize for a flight from coast to coast.

Robert Fowler the athletic, college bred aviator who is attempting the longest and most hazardous air cruise on record, has three of the staunchest and most helpful allies man ever had in the conquest of the air.
 If he succeeds in flying from San Francisco to New York in thirty days. it will be due to their support as well as to his own daring, skill and endur- ance
 A $500 mile flight such as Fowler is making in the quest of the $50,000 earSt pri1e,> neceSSitates tremendous preparations in the studyin of the country, picking a route, investigat- ing winds and elevations, and in plan ming fuel and oil stations, etc.
 The expenses for the trip will ap- proxinate $500 a day. This covers the cost of a special train, nechan- icians, trainers, doctor, nurses, and wflat goes to make up a surprisingly large entOurage.
 The success of tine trip, and Fowler s very life, depend upon the mechanical perfection of his aeroplane and the motor that propels it. Boundless ex- perierlce~ and labor have been put into the preparations for this phase of the expedition. Fowler, and his three friends and allies, have worked tire lessly for many weeks to forward the success and safety of the trip.

WHY AL KETCHEL DID
 NOT FIGHT LAST NIGHT

The following letter received from the Twentieth Century Athletic club of New York explains why Al Ketchel of this city did not go on in one of the ten round bouts last night as ad- vertised. This is the letter received today by the sporting editor of The Farmer:
 Having practically assured Terry Lee, manager : of Al KetcheI, that Young Shugro of Jersey City would not appear as principal in one of the two ten round contests to be staged last night at the 20th Century A. C., MT. Lee appeored at the club house with Ketchel. YouAg Britt ap- peared, however, and agreed to go on with Billy Murphy of New Or leans, who was substituted for Shugro at the last moment, the latter having injured his ankle in ball game, &C., cording to the statement made py Tommy Lee, his manager, who pro- duced a doctors certificate alleging the fact. Ketchel challenged the winner of the Phil Cross and Al Schumacher fight and the contest will most likely be staged by the club in the near future. I take pleasure ;n making this explanation to satisfy the Bridgeport sporting public that Terry Lee acted in good faith when he an- nounced to- the papers, that Ketchel would appear last night in one of the star bouts.
 Hoping that you will give him credit for his willingness to take on the match at short notice, thanking you in advance, I remain.
 Yours truly,

Johnson Wells
 Bout May Be Off
English Don't Take Kindly to Idea of Black Man Pound
 ing White

London, Sept. 1.-The Chairman of the London County Council yesterday notified the 1icensee of the Earls Court Exhibition Hall Elat if the box ing contest between Champion Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight, takes place as scheduled on Oct. it may imperil the license now held for conducting bouts at that place. The chairman bases his warning on the general dissatis- faction which has been caused in Eng sand since the bout was first arrang- ed and the widespread feeling of dis gust which ne Jeffries- J ohnson fight in America caused in England, re- ferr1ng also to the County Council's 's prohibition of the Jeffries- Johnson fight pictures at London music halls.
 The chaia'man's attitude bids fair to be strongly supported by the English press, which has already come out so strongly in opposition to the proposed bout. One of the London papers, in commenting on this latest turn in af- fairs approves of the cfairman's q stand, and adds:
 We have no sympathy with race antipa,thies, but the sight Of a black , man pounding a white man is far from attractive. and certainly cannot be considered as a public entertain ment- The facts surrounding this particular contest accenltuates it's un- desirability, and the whole affair can be considered as nothing more than a moneymaking affair. With the cine matograph it would never be heard of. We are not in favor of Puritanic interference with amusements, but there is a. limit London is not Reno, and in sheer self-respect London can- not tolerate this bout"

How! Two Managers
 Handle Players
McGraw and Chance Differ in Method, According to
 Western Writer

In speaking of the managers of the two leading clubs in thes National League race. one writer says of the P. L. of Chicago:
 Chance is a born fighter, deter mined, able and magnetic leader of men, who can always inspire his team with extraordinary enthusiasm get the best work out of it and always hold it's good will. As a field leader it is doubtful if his superior ever lived. Added to these qualities Chance has always ranked as a high class fielder and powerful hatsman. He plays no favorites, never lets sentiment get the better of his baseball judgment in fact, he combines all the qualities of an ideal baseball general
 McGraw: =
 .'McGraw of the New Yorks, is a fiery leader. His methods differ greatly from Chances and Clarkes It is almost impossible for McGraw to control himself when things are going against his team. He will kick and tell his opinions of the umpire in the most forcible manner. He directs his players on every play simply because many of them are not the brainiest players on earth and cannot be de- pended on to carry plays through of their own volition. McGraw has been handicapped for several years in hav- ing a rather mediocre team That he is one of the best managers in the business is shown by his keeping the Giants so high in the race year by year. His weakness, and a big one, too, is that he is unable to develop pitchers He has tried for many years to develop a crack twirler but so far has been unsuccessful"
 This baseball race seems to have up- set others than the ball players, com ments New York paper.
