of the sick mans coats. Then he goes
for n short walk, priest in the mean

coat. being carried in this way, is sup

TIME FOR THE END.

The Mexican revolution has gone
far enough. The recent decisive bat
ties were welcomed not only by Amer
leans but also by many others who
have interests in Madero's republic.
The war has been dragged out so long
with no apparent progress in favor of
either side that outside influence was
becoming more and more inevitable
Now it is said Madero delayed op-
erations to equip his men with the la
test field guns and that these are res
pOnsible for his victory. Moreover,
he is in a position to procure more
modern equipment than the rebels.
Therefore let him push forward
with all speed. A decision cannot be
postponed much longer.

If eating English sparrows, as rec

iOnable, the problem in regard to
this pest will quickly be solved; but
that in regard to dogs and cats will
not SO readily admit of solution.
Nevertheless, when it comes to the

OF man will soon solve the problem
of how to swat all these menaces.

One of the things you notice about
Mr.. MOnsees is that his right hand

ago. when he pulled loaded gun out

Il never carry around a loaded
gun when | am knocking about over

boy loaded it to shoot ducks and then
left it in the buggy where l had left

MIR. MOnsees believes in cOncentra-
ton. All his interests are on his
farm and stock. He handles a few
mules, but does not raise them, pre-
ferring to devote his attention entire
ly to his jacks. He formerly bred
saddle horses, but sold them off in
1910.
81 love a good horse. but there is
more money in jacks. They are
easier to handle and do not require
nearly so much time to train.

POOR JUDGES OF DANGER.

quently asserted that there is no
more danger to operators flying aero
planes than to those who ride in au-
tOmObiles. However, these asser-
tions are not wholly convincing to
laymen. The average man thinks
that persons habituated to dangerous
undertakings are not competent
judges in matters of degree of dan
ger.
A steeple jack who had spent
years without accident in working
hundreds of feet above the heads of
pedestrians on the streets of Chica-
60, one day while crossing a street in
that city was run down and serious
ly injured by an automobile. He
said he never felt safe on the streets
and that he preferred to be up where
people could not run over him.
1t is doubtless true that many, if
not most of the accidents, even in the
dangerous professions, are due to at
tempting unusual and unnecessary
things merely for display. But ad-
mitting this is not admitting that fly
ing is no more dangerous than riding
in automobiles, any more than admit
ting that the work of the steeple jack
is no more dangerous than walking
along the street.

THE secret of my success" he will
tell you" is in handling only the
best stock and in dealing honestly
with my customers"
But that is not the whole reason.
AS you talk with him you get the i'm
preston that he likes to raise Jacks,
that he loves each animal on his
farm, that he takes pride in having
the best herd of show jacks and
jennets in the world" His whole
souled devotion to his work no doubt
has much to do with his success.
How did | come to enter this
work." he repeats well, | guess
it was born in me- My grandfather,
who came from Germany when my
father was about II years old, raised
jacks and stations. and l always had
a liking for the work. When | was
only | years old, | traded for a lit
tie nO-cOunt jack colt. | believe l
gave 81. pistol and two pocket
knives for him. After a while
traded him for a stallion which | la
ter sold for $50. Then bought some
sheep.
All this was side issue, for he
worked for his father on a fruit farm
until he was 21. For a while he
had charge of the marketing of the
fruit. He made a success as a fruit
farmer, too: although he much pre-
ferred to raise stock.
When he became of age. he start
ed in the breeding business in ear
nest. He bought four jennets and
jack, paying $4,000 for the jack. He
mad to borrow the money to pay for
them but he wanted the best animals
he could get to start on. That is
where he laid the foundation of the
first part of his secret of success -
having the best stock possible.
1T is easy to get ahead of other
producers if you have a little better
quality of animals than they" he
says. IF | were to offer any advice
about entering this business, l should
say to buy the best-blOOded dOnkeys
you can get even if you can't get
more than one or two"
All the animals on the MOnsees
ranch are registered. The herd has
an enviable record. as it has included
such jacks as Superior Mammoth,
who took first prize at the Chicago
Worlds Fair: Limestone Mammoth,
who was unoefeated in ten years of
competition; and Orphan Boy, the
grand champion at the St. Louis
Worlds Fair. At St Louis, SO en-
tries from the herd won fifty first
prizes.
Mr.. MOnsees also has received the
record prices paid. He has sold al
jack for $1,000, and has others that
could not be bought from him. In
1881 his sales amounted to $500:
in 1910 they reached s6775O.
But the ranch itself is merely an
expression of the personality of its
owner. 1t has grown to large pro-
portions, but still he personally su-
perintends as much as possible of all
that is done there.
Mr.. MOnsees-he prOnounces it |

Showing You
Oh, You Joy Ride!

The FlOrisant News advises the
farmer to buy an automobile. "Now
that the automobile is getting with
in the reach of all in quality and
cost" it says, would it not be wise
and wholesome for our farmers and
their families to jump in one of their
own and all take a ride? They do not
kick, bite or require hitching to keep
them in one place. They are as man
ageable as a wheelbarrow and as cas-
lily understood as the kitchen coffee
grinder or any implement about the
place. The horses can rest on Sum-
day while the auto can take you all
to church or visit round. The ma
chine coach does not sweat nor tire

well. the chief reason why there
are so few raisers of jacks on a large
scale is the amount of time re-

leans are too fast. They have not
patience to wait several years for
their business to develop. Now the
jack is just the other way. He is
slow. sluggish animal, and your
farm may go ten years before it be-
gins to show profit worth while.
