SHOWING VALUE OF FRONT"
ImpecunIous Author Wise in Expendi- ture That Less Far-Sighted
 Friend Objected To.

There Is a young author who has ar rived, and therefore has only, when he wishes new suit or large steak or a set of automobile tires, to sit down at his typewriter and dash off a few care less lines, and eager editors do the rest. Once upon a time, however, and, unlike the fairy stories, that doesn't mean long, long ago-this worthy young mans assets were so near the vanishing point that his nu- merous creditors became uneasy and threatened a total discontinuance of supplies. Something had to be done, and that quickly. The author did something-he took famous 1nancier with whom he happened to be ac- quainted to lunch at the most ex- pensive and conspicuous restaurant in town. When 1t was over he walked home for lack of another nickel.
 You are not as bright as you might be, my boy" he patiently explained to a protesting friend as he cheerfully borrowed a quarter. Several of my largest creditors always lunch at that place, and knew they would recog- nize the man I was with. Why, that lunch is good for at least 60 days ex. tension on my accounts"

STAND BY PRESENT T B. PLAN
Live Stock Associations Decide to Take No Steps to Lower Stand
 ard Now in Vogue.

After two years of practical opera ton of the tuberculosis-free accredited herd plan, a joint committee repre- senting the pure-bred cattle asSocla- tions and the United States Live Stock Sanitary association has unanimously decided that no steps should be taken to lower the high standsrd of the present plan.
 It was decided that no herd should be accredited if it contains q tuber- cular animal, male or female. It was agreed by the joint committee. to show that owners are exerting an ef- fort to exterminate the disease, that a supplementary list be made to the accredited herd list to contain the names of the owners of pure-bred herds that are-free from tuberculosis on two annual tests but, in which the herd bull reacts. Such herd will not receive an accredited herd cer- tificate. The reacting bull may be used under certain conditions.
 The accredited herd plan is admins tered by the bureau of animal indus try, United States department of az riculture, in cooperation with the states.

showina RattIesnake,s Aae.

Another ancient belief is shattered by science. The number of rattles rat tlesnake has is determined not by his age but by the number of times he sheds his skin, is the decision given out by the curator in charge of the reptiles in the New York zoo. A baby rattler is born with only button, but soon afterwa- he sheds his skin and has rattle. Every time he sheds his skin he gains another. and he usual ly does this three times a year, al- though seasonal or food conditions may vary this
 '.The rattle :s rather a delicate or gan," writes the curator. "The snake wears out the older rings dragging them. around over rough, rocky ground. A rattle seldom attains length of more than 10 or Il rings, as wien that number has been acquired the vibration at the tip, when the or gan is used. is so pronounced that ad- ditional segments are soon worn, bro len, or lost"

ul SHOCK l1sN IN
SHIP CATTLE FROM MONTANA
Estimated That Between 500 900 and Sooooo Head Have Been shIppsd
 Out of State.

'rrepared by the United States Dsparr-
 ment of Agriculture)
 An unusually large movement Of cat tie out of Montana has taken plaee in l91e, according to the bureau Of anil nal industry. Normally, the move ment of cattle from this state Is be- tween 100000 and 300, 900 head an- nually. It Is estimated that between oOO,OOO and 100000 have been shipped out for all purposes. Figures are not available for a similar comparison in regard to sheep, but reports from rep resentadYes of the department in the neld indicate that between 4O0OOO and oUV'OOO sheep of all classes of rkSSe stock were moved out of the North west for feeding and grazing In sec tlons east and west of the drought area.
 These animals went first into the available nearby pasture lands in the Dakotas and Nebraska. Later they were moved into the middle cornbeIt states, Into Minnesota, Wisconsin. and the upper peninsula of Michigan, and still later into Texas and New Mex leo. The movement into the two lat ter states continued on Into November. The heavy snowfall that occurred early in the season overlook some ranchmen who were taking chances on the weather and they found 1t neces- sary to move their herds quickly. It IS thought that enough railroad cars were made available to i'll all orders. Stock cars moving west were given preference over dead freight
 Information that has reached the department indicates that the move ment of cattle into New Mexico and Texas has been satisfactory, and with certain exceptions, the same holds true with respect to Minnesota, Wis consin, and Michigan. Reports indi- cate that considerable movement of

EXECUTED" HIS DEAD BODY Stern Decree of Justice Carried Out on Corpse of Ancient DaImatian
 Archbishop.

Dalmatia has made rapid strides in science and literature, the story of her culture, however, being one of per sonal achievement rather than public advancement. Zara, its largest city, for example, had no printing press un til 1796 while Venetian Dalmatia had only one public school in the eighteenth century.
 Roger Joseph Boscovitch, one fa- nous son of Dalmatia, was esteemed by scientists for his work setting forth new atomic theory, but more popu- larly known because of the adoption of his plan for assuring the upright ness of the dome of St. Peters at Rome when crack was discovered in it. He wrote verse voluminously, but not as successfully as he wrote his numerous scientific treatises.
 Marco Antonio de Dominis, another Dalmatian of public note, mingled the Ology and natural philosophy with serious consequences to himself. He set forth the first correct explanation of the rainbow, but his theological career was less fruitful. AS archbishop of Spalato he attacked his superiors in his writings, fled to England, re- turned to Rome, then did penance by writing a book refuting his heretical works. He was tried, but died before the trial ended. The trial went on and he was sentenced to be dragged through the streets of Rome and burned publicly. His body was re- moved from his coffin and the sentence executed.

AGE AND THE POINT OF VIEW
How the Impression of the Youth of Twenty-one Is Properly Resented
 by His Elders.

That reporting is a young mans business is illustrated in some news paper every day by some news item telling about something, usually un- fortunate, that happened to an old man or an aged woman, the Ohio State Journal observes. Often the aged person, 1t develops somewhere in the story, is fifty-three, we will say, or somewhere between fifty and six ty. As every editor has reason to know, this youthful point of view of the reporters not infreQuently is re- sented by the aged person referred to. To be run over by the motorcar was bad enough, but to be called aged is adding insult to injury. Nobody un- der seventy seems old to himself, and many between seventy-fve and eighty would rather not be considered aged.
 We talk hopefully of a mans being only as old as he feels, but no matter how he feels a man of fifty impresses the youth of twenty-one as verging upon the sere and yellow, if not al- ready there. Our memory goes back to the time when a woman of thirty five looked almost hopelessly aged to us. and now we know vivaeious girls of forty. And Daisy Ashford opened her immortal work by remarking: "Mr. Salteena was an elderly man of forty-two." We don't know at what age elderliness begins for Daisy now, but if she lives long enough she will reach the point where her way of classifying Mir. Salteena would be to say that he was young man of forty two.

Mnemonic for Grams

Scientific papers are getting to use the metric system of weights and measures more and more, and 1t has become almost necessary for every one to be able to convert such terms as grams into ounces at once. It is not however, easy to remember that there are 2S.85 grams in an ounce. How ever, if one remembers the sentence, Sit converts one ounce," the figures will instantly recur to the mind. For the number of letters in each word gives 2-S-3-5.
 Mnemonics for other terms of the metric. system are needed.

PROVIDE SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Exposure to Wind and Storms Is Cause of Much Loss-Protection
 Is Not Costly.

Great sheep losses come through ex- Eosure to wind and storm In all parts of the country farms that have sheep on them will do well to provide shelter from bad weather. These do not cost SO much as to have the sheep die in he cold and wet. If we had all the money that Is lost in sheep in any one year through exposure to storm we would be far richer than we are.
