CATTLE BREEDING

The first company organized in Am erica to import and breed thorough
 bred cattle was formed thirty-two years ago today, Nov. 2. 1883. and in 1885 some Ayrshires were imported from England. Prior to that time. cat tie in America were ''just cattle,'' and fixed breeds, as such, were practical Iy unknown. Within>the following de- cade hundreds of head of the celebrat- ed English breeds, Including the short horn or Durham Ayrshires, Devons, Herefords, A1derneys. Ga1Ioways and Jerseys were ] imported. and cattle breeding became an established indus try on this side of the Atlantic. The first cattle importation to America was made by Columbus in 1 492. Others
 were brought by succeeding Spanish settlers, from which the wild cattle of Texas and South America originated. The Portuguese brought cattle to New found1and in 1853, and Norman cattle were introduced to Canadatabout 1 500 In 1911 Sir Thomas Gates brought to. Jamestown about 100. head of cattle from Hertfordshire and Devonshire,- and in 1884 Francis WinsIow brought three heifers and a bull to Massachu- sets. From the mixture of the vari- ous breeds brought by the early set tiers a class of native cattle origtnat5 ed, which, from want of proper feed and protection, deteriorated in size and quality.

TODAY's POEM ,
ENKINDLED.

He who hath the sacred fire Hidden in his heart of hearts
 It shall burn him clean and pure, Make him conquern make endure, He to all things may aspire, King of days and souls, and arts, Failure, fright and dumb dismay Are but wings upon his way Imagination and desire Are his slaves and implements, sE
 Faiths and foul calamitfes
 And the eternal ironies, Aye but voices in his choir Musicians of decreed events, Hungers, happiness, hates, Friendships lost, all adverse
 fates, All passions and all clements Are but golden instrunqents
 In his glorious symphonies,
 Subject to. his firm decreeS Are the heavens, are the seas;
 But in utter humbleness
 Reigns he. not to ban, but bless CIeapsed and conQuering and benign Bearer of the fire divine

PRAY SHE WILL BE TRUE
 TO HER MARRIAGE vows
Dean Miss Libbey:+

Dea1 Miss Libbey:--
 You help others, please aid me. When was 19, met a young man of q. I loved so. He returned my love. My folks did not allow him to come others. Did not give me up. He would not be hapy without me. My folks forced me to marry a man 30, I did not love. Farmers both were, with fair education. They told they would not let me marry one loved. Other I must wed. To please ethem I did. After wed, my lover waved his hand, bade me farewell. I<Wept bitterly. I never saw him since; tried in vain to forget him: I have three children. Still find no love for man wed. Home is unhappy; heart is broken. Is it best for a girl to listen to parents,
 live unhappy, or have a, mind of her own? Is it best for me to quit this man or wear my life away to please my folks? Am most anxious for your reply
 Put the old lover out of your life forever. Be true to your marriage. VOWS. Best for you is to visit your folks a while. Then you will be apt to miss your husband, as the children will You can realize deeply what his good, qRalities and devotion really are. A woman will regret, and her days be numbered if she forsakes a good man for a false deceiver. Be wise and true to your husband.

That children should love their pa rents is the first law of nature, Fnat they should obey them implicitly IS another law, equally as binding. Pa rents love, guard, toll, and often suffer every hardship for their child, to keep him Or her from undergoing all that they have passed through. Are all those years of patient watch care to bear no fruit?
 Are the relations which have been tender and loving to be under the con trol of a stranger who has stepped into the family through marriage? It is said that those joined Rt the altar must be nearer and dearer to each other than all others. But this was never intended to imply that the measure of affection for the dear old loved ones at home should be lessened: or brought to a straining point
 Marriage often brings about most peculiar situations. Two women, an Nold and young one, of widely diff ferent temperaments, who look out upon life from different viewpoints, are brought into close contact by the younger marrying the older doman's s son. From henceforth I am to be first in your affections declares the younger woman spiritedly to her bridegroom. "I have given you to another, but do not forget me, my love. and the reverence always due me-" whispers his mother earnestly.
 The young husband kisses his wife's lips and his mothers forehead, de- voutly believing he will 6o his duty by both.
 Many a time young wife is un- reasonably jealous of her husbands continued fondness for home and mother. She sets her foot down that he shall only go there when he is ac- eompanied by her. What young hus- band who idolizes his bride sees any harm in promising it shall be as she wishes? At the outset. he is quite blind as to Hg1' real motive.
 The old mother whose idol he still is and will ever be misses more than words can tell, the short time he spends with her, when he runs in for a few moments on his way to and from business. She soon learns of the compact he has made with his wife. The mother understands the motive; the young husband does not. She realizes if he Is obliged to wait for his wife to accompany him that the times when she will greet her boy, clasp him in her arms, hold his hands and stroke his hair will be few and far between.
 As the mother grows older, her pleasures decrease, while her fondness deeper, if that could be. The outside world and it's gaities charm her no more. She would rather spend an eve ming looking over the bureau drawer which contains her boys first clothes than attend the most brilliant social function. No mother really wishes to be the best pr first love. She just wishes to keep her same old place in her chiId's heart. Wives should en- courage a mans affection for mother Her reward will be greater in after years.

ALohpE WEIRD

Although only a common soldier, Abide Verd has attained wide fame in France where his patriotic spirit af1d devotion to @'Ia patrie'' is held others< It is not because of any bxil- liant feat as soldier that "tPere' Verd is thus honored, but rather that he is the oldest volunteer in the ser vice of France who has undertaken active soldering at the front. Shortly after his seventy second birthday last April Abide Verd entered the recruiting bureau at Troyes- In spite of his great age he proved an able and willing worker, and accom- pHshed more than many younger men. A few weeks, ago it was necessary to send a number of. soldiers from the Troyes recruiting station to fill the gaps in the ranks of the Forty-sev- enth territorial regiment. Verd asked for permission to shoulder gun and go to the front with this contingent. At first he was peremptori1y rejected, but he was so persistent and insis- tent that finally his prayer was grant ed, and when the little army march ed away to the scene of battle, Abide Verd, with the weight of more than three-score-and-ten years upon his shoulders, marched along as sprightIy as his comrades, many of whom were considerably less than a third of his age. Arrived at the front, the vet eran was sent with the Seventh com pany of the regiment to the first line of defence and 1t has since ben re- ported that he has given good ac- count of himself in the trenches. Verd was born at Rompots in the depart rnent of Ardeehe, southern France, in 1843 He gained his first experience as a soldier in the army of the second empire, when fought the fathers of his present foeman in the Franco Prussian war. He was present at the huniliatfngs defeat Of Sedan, where he was taken a prisoner by the Ger mans and spent several months in 8 Silesian military prison.

Rartholdt Thinks Kaiser and
 Sultan Will Put an End to War

Richard BarthoIdt, for twenty-two years a Representative in the United States Congress from Missouri district and long a leader in the movements for universal peace, international ar bitration and general disarment was born in Germany sixty years ago to- day, Nov. g. 1855. Since his retire ment from Congress last March MT Bartholdt has taken a leading part in the propaganda of the German American societies which have opposed the export of munitions from the Un- ited States. MT. Bartho1dt has ire quently expressed his opinion that the two Kaisers with their ally, the Sul- tan of Turkey, will be victorious in the war, and that when the time comes for them to dictate terms of peace they will insist upon disarma- ment.
 'FI am of the opinion,' he wrote not long ago, that the Central Uro- pean powers, as the victors, will rise by the terms of peace which they Twill dictate that the preservation of peace, which has been the main mo- tive of their alliance, will be the prime object Of their future; but, if they should disappoint us in this, then the peace-loving people of all the nations of the world should unite III O61IlaIO11S II1IS great IS1OThI- u is the psychological moment to do it, for Europe is exhausted and America is threatened, as never before, with the same nilitarism which has cursed and bathed in blood nearly all the na- tions of the Old WorId.''
 MT, Bartholdt came to America when a boy and learned the printing trade. From 1885 until 1892, when he was first elected to congress- he was editor-in-chief of the St. Louis Fri bune. He intended to retire from Congress two years ago, but the Null hall lobby charges led him to seek vintication of the polls. In his fare well speech in the House last Febru- ary he declared that Americans of German birth or decent <'are with all other true Americans for America, first, last. and always" and added a protest against the shipment of arms to the Allies.
 MT. Bartho1dt was the author of the plan for peace treaties between the United States and, other nations, since adopted and put into effect by MT. Bryan, while Secretary of State. The idea was first advanced by MT. Bartholdt at the Inter-Par1iamentary Congress held in Brussels ten years ago. Before leaving Congress MT. Bar tholdt was charged with working un- der the direction of the German ann bassador in urging an embargo on contraband, but he vehemently de- nied the allegation.

WANTS NAMES CHANGED.

Claiming that he is subject to much injury and annoyance because of his name. Paul Rehmberg, 2. Shelton jew eler, has filed a petition in the SUI perior court. asking to be allowed to take the name of Remborg. The pe- titioner says he was born in Stock holm. Sweden. and came to this coun- try in 1880. He says he has always been a good citizen and that his pro- posed change of name will not dam age anybody. Another petition for change of name is filed by Viola E. Bateman of Stamford, who wants permission to call herself Viola. Demarest, She states that she is a single woman do- ing business under the name of De- marest. She obtained Na divorce in New York state several years ago. '.
