MUCH LIVE STOCK DESTROYED
Food Animals Valued at Upwards Of
$4,000, 900 Killed on Tracks
Through Negligence.

Through the negligence Of live stock
owners food animals valued at $4,000
were killed on the tracks of the Cen
trail of Georgia railway during the first
nine months of this year. says a re-
port by the department Of commerce.
According to n statement Of the vice
president and general manager Of that
road, 1852 head of stock were need
lessly wasted in this manner. the nv
erage value of which was approximate
ly $40 to S11 per head. Fine dairy
cows and beef cattle were included, as
well as hogs. sheep. geese. etc.
During those nine months one animal
was killed for every mile of track on
the Central Of Georgia. and If that fig
ure can be accepted as basis for es-
timating the loss for the entire cOun-
try, the destruction of food animals
on the railway tracks of the United
States during the first nine months of
the year can be put Mt S2.76O,OOO, or
$36S0,OOO for the whole year.

The whole stock Of dried salmon had

to her husband, while Malemute Kid
cut up the warm body Of one of the
dogs, the skull Of which had been
crushed by the ak. Every portion was
carefully put away, save the hide and
offal, which were cast to his fellows
of the moment before.

Malemute Kid went about his work
listening to Mason, who was back
in Tennessee. delivering tangled dis
courses and wild 'exhortatiOns to his
brethren Of other days.
Taking advantage of neighboring
pines, he worked rapidly, and Ruth
watched him make a cache similar to
those sometimes used by hunters to
preserve their meat from the wolver-
ines and dogs. One after the other he
bent the tops Of two small pines to-
ward each other and nearly to the
ground, making them fast with thongs
of mOOsehide.
Ruth had received her husbands last
wishes and made no struggle. Poor
girl. She had learned the lesson Of
obedience well. From a child she had
bowed and seen all women bow to the
lords Of creation. and it did not seem
in the nature of things for woman to
resist. The Kid permitted her one out
burst of grief as she kissed her hus-
band-her own people had no such GUS

and helped her into her snOwshoes.

No more jams or preserves VIII be

Jams and preserves now on hand VIII
