The Endless Task.

The multimillionaire was sad.
Quoth he: "It really seems too bad.
try to give my wealth away,
And it keeps coming back each day.
I write a large and handsome check
In hope my bank account to wreck.
When friends we'll meaning will explore
My income and deposit more.
I give away my bonds and stocks,
But others come my way in flocks,
For in my multifarious toll
I've planted in fertile soil
My various thoughts, likewise my Deeds
So riches still spring up like weeds.
And, though | seek with sturdy cheer
To give the stuff away each year,
Some one comes forth and sounds the

Here's some that you forgot about! 2"

There Are Others,

No doubt it's rather bad
When one is plunged in debt.
1 see it makes you sad,
And so you fume and fret.
There isn't any doubt
You find things mighty slow,
But cheer up! Think about
The fellow that you owe!
No doubt it's hard on you,
But. tell me, what of him?
Though you are feeling blue,
He finds life yet more grim.
You've run yourself in debt,
But you have had your fun,
While he is waiting yet
To get his turn, my son.
So take brisker pace,
Instead of fretting smile,
And meantime have the grace
To guard your ways awhile.
Your facile spending hand
Keep close as on a bet,
And it in time will land
You safely out of debt!

Make a Lasting Epitaph.

Live for something. Do good. and
leave behind you monument of vir-
tue that the storm Of time can never
destroy. Write your name, in kind
ness, love and mercy, on the hearts Of
thousands you come in contact with
year by year; you will never be for
gotten. No, your name, your deeds
will be as legible on the hearts Won
leave behind as the stars on the brow
of evening. Good deeds will shine as
the stars.-Chalmers

WHERE HER THOUGHTS WERE
Woman's Ideas EmInently Practical,
Though Not Quite Following Hus-
bands Reading.

The husband was reading newspa-
per account to his wife. Now, and
then he paused and asked question.
The nature Of her replies made him
doubt that she was listening closely.
He accused her Of having thoughts
elsewhere, and she Indignantly retort-
ed that she had heard every word
He continued reading for few min
utes and then glanced at her From
the far-away look in her eyes he knew
her thoughts were not upon the item
he was reading. So, turning the sheet
as an excuse for the pause, he con-
tinued as follows:
Last night, at about two o'clock In
the afternoon, just few minutes be-
fore breakfast, hungry boy about
sixty years old, bought doughnut for
nine pins twenty feet thick. With a
cry of despair he jumped into a dry
millpond, broke his arm at the knee
Joint and was drowned. 1t was only
ten years later, on the same day anu
at the same hour that goat gave
birth to six elephants. A high wind
then came up and killed three dead
horses and a wooden cigar Indian.
What do you think of that, dear?" he
questioned suddenly.
She gave a little start, smiled and
said:

dozen, for your stock of shirts is low"

cars. Experienced shippers seem to
be agreed on the point that cattle.
which have been heavily fed for some
weeks. should be prepared for ship
ment by Withholding the usual grain
feed for a day or two previous to ship
ping. and substituting for this grain
feed roughage in the shape of good
hay. Some very good advice along
this line Is given by John Clay IN
Henry's Feeds and Feeding, as fol-
lows:
4 day or two previous to shipping
feed the cattle in a pen, and feed hay
only. The secret Of shipping all
classes of cattle is to place them ON
the cars full OF food, but with as lit
| tie moisture as possible.
A steer full Of water is apt to have
lccse bowels and show up badly In
the Yards; properly handled, cattle
should arrive In the sale pens dry be-
hind and ready for a good NIL OF
water-not very thirsty, but IN good
condition to drink freely. Many
shippers think that by sailing their
cattle or feeding them oats they can
fool the buyers. but II always goes
against them to U.S. unnatural
amounts.
AS to feed on the road, nothing
EQUALS good sweet hay. which exce's
corn or other grains. because 1t Is
easily digested and does not fever the
animal. OF water in midsummer
care must be taken to supply the ami
NAL wants, whereas in winter steer
can go for many hou:s without q
drink. Cattle shcCld arrive at tire
sale yards at from 5 to a. M. ap-
pearing on the scene as near the lat
ter hour as possible, since they al
ways look better just after they nave
been fed and watered
Funkhouser advises feeding all thu
hay the cattle will eat, and reducing
the grain feed at least one-halt two
or three days before shipping. For
steers in transit allow. $50 pounds Of
hay and one and one-half bushels OF
grain per car. Steers on pasture that
have had corn should be taken of
pasture twenty-four hours before
shipping. and allowed half feed OF
corn with plenty Of hay.
