CATTLE SHIPPED HERE.
Feeding Cattle During Winter to Re
Sold as Beef I'm Spring.

"A number of winters past several Of
the farmers OF this city and county
shipped In supply Of cattle to keep
during the winter which they sold
during the early spring for beef cat
tie. The cattle were in most cases
shipped here poor and were fattened
up in good shape for slaughter before
they were shipped out.
However, as these farmers in most
cases lost heavily on their venture
few OF them thought 1t worth while
to try the experiment again This
winter Mr.. l.. ID. Jennings is the only
person in the city TO have any sue h
cattle shipped in to his place to be fed
during the winter and shipped out
again for beef He has his order in
for $50 head Of cattle. ITO Of which
have already been shipped, five car
load lots. and are now at his place in
the country a few miles west Of town.
Mr.. Jennings stated, in speaking of
the matter, that heretofore he had not
realized anything on the venture. but
that his efforts were to keep the cat
tie for the manure which was made
during the four months they were in
his charge and get this free of ex-
pense. clearing expenses otherwise in
buying, feeding and selling the cattle.
The cattle are fed on cotton seed meal
and hulls Mr.. Jennings stated that
he purchased the cattle from certain
parties TO whom he had q contract to
resell them four months later. This
year cattle were scarece and the peo-
pie from whom ~ was getting them
had been somewhat slow i'm sending
them To him.

You would make me over, but you

ture, fitting for your social position
and your prosperity.
I looked to be a much better match
for you than Mary Playter looked
when she drove that old family horse
and sat in a shabby looking buggy
filled with children. But she would
have been the safer for you I knew
that. Your friends knew ii. She knew
it. You may think you know 1t now,
but if she were back on earth. and
you had your choice again, I doubt if
it would be she.
You dispute that? But I know you
better than you know yourself. Will
you dispute that statement?
1 won you in deceit. I lost you in
honesty. You asked me to choose be-
tween yourself and Mr.. Dribbles. I was
honest for the first time since I had
known you. I said I preferred Mr..
Dribbles. And instead of approving
me for that frankness, you despised me
for it.
And you despised me because it was
a blow to your pridei
All the time I have been going with
Mr.. Dribbles I have known of his love
for one of my best friends I have en-
cOuraged him in his struggle to win
her. 1 have aided him in a correspond
ence with her, to which her parents
objected. And I will be the sole attend
ant at their wedding, which will occur
next week.
Mr.. Dribbles likes me because he
sees my faults, and knows I have few
virtues. He knows I am mercenary. It
is a Characteristic of the American
man.

good. You are a prize in the matri-
monial market. You are also as blind

you she loves you, tell her you are
penniless. If you had told that to me
our engagement wouldn't have lasted
as long
I return the will you made in my
favor Also the engagement ring. After
much deliberation I have decided that
even the glitter of gold would not
compensate me for the role of hypo-
critic would have to sustain in living
with you. Josephine.

wisdom from generation to genera
ton. as long as the foundation en-
dures He wishes the control thus ex-
ercised to represent the public opinion
Of the entire country rather than that
of any state or section, feeling that
otherwise the Philanthropic interests
of a single state might be given prece-
dence over those of the entire country.
It is pointed out that more than 30
organizations have received a federal
charter in the past quarter of a cen
fury. Six of these have had purposes
somewhat similar to those of the
Rockefeller foundation It is also
shown that the Carnegie institution
of Washington first tried to get along
with a District of Columbia charter,
but found this wholly inadequate to its
needs and had to ask for a federal
charter, which was granted One OF
the principal objections to a district
charter is that il requires that a ma
Jority of the incOrpOratOrs shall be
residents of the District Of Columbia,
provision wholly incompatible with
proper freedom to select the best men
in the United States.
1t is stated that one of the main
purposes in all of the Rockefeller ben
efactions has been to stimulate rather
than to replace self help. He has
sought 90 have his gifts serve as deu-
and the people how TO do things and
helping them to get started at doing
those things themselves. He has not
sought to flood the south with un-
earned money, but to demonstrate to
the southern farmer how to get rid OF
the hOokwOrm, how to grow better
cotton and more corn It is along these
lines, he believes, that charity and phi
lanthrOpy should be exercise d-plant-

upon the highway Of success, teaching
them how to travel it, and then watch
