Mr. Glean Hosmer, the young law-
Mr, who hod Juat hung out bla ahtn-
|W In o town on the Hudeon liver,
had not yet f'arted from romance. He
hod been warned by o veteran of the
bar that romance and law never
fined. He would get married tom
dor. but there must be no emotions
about It that could not be atibitan-
ttated by the compiled lawn of the
Mate of New York. The formality

neighbor.
Mr. Hoemer accepted tbe advice

Mr mouth was beyond comparison.

Ha felt the law In him being replaced
by romance. There waa not enough
In any law book In the land to *«•
press bla admiration. He didn't know

wore things to be found out.
Mlaa Blaache 1st fall the magaslne
pba eras reading. Mr. Hoamer sprang
to pick It up. A aquat man, with a
thick neck, waa Just too quick for
^lm. Mr. Hoamer fell back In hla
chair and wowed that If be ever got
Mutt squat man in the tolla of the law
be would squeeae the life out of him.
Mlaa Blanche dropped her handker-
chief, and Mr. Hoemer sprang again.
A bald-headed man waa before him.
That settled bsldhead In case be ever

M Hoamer had opened bis mouth to
answer, the porter came along and

You Can—"
labor Mr. Hoamer had him cornered
up and waa saying:
**You villain of the world, tell me
nil you ran about that angel or I'll
murder you on the apot!"
That waa the way the young law-
yer came to know name and addresa.
Porters on chair and parlor cars get
to know local travelers to a certain
point. Of course. Mr. Hoemer figured
that be muat be more or less conven-
tional. He muat have an introduction
In the regular way. He made a trip
to the town above to get It, and even
made an excuse to call at the house
to see the father, but he was not In-
troduced He simply heard a rustle
jof skirts passing the half-open library
idoor. When he got back home he
slammed Hlackatone down on the ta-
|ble and exclaimed; "Darn the law!"
For two straight weeks Mr. Hosmer
took to going Into the city dally. No
use! Hs stood In front of the Fist-
Iron block until the wind had turned
.him around seventeen times, but the
golden-haired girl did not appear. He
Sven attended Sunday services In the
town above, but Miss Blanche was not
In any of the pews. She had either
got hold of a new book or was an at-
tendant at some other church
Mr. Hoemer awoke one Monday
morning determined to hnnlsh the
girl from hla mind and take the first
assanlt and battery case that came
along- . He sat down to the law on
punching the head of your fellow mart,
but he could a or get interested. That
goldvn-halred girl's far* waa before
him. He went and stated bis rase
to tbs veteran lawyer, and although
thu former advice waa repeated, and

She had brr own bast and sbe knew
I how to handle It. The pilots of the
! day bonis whistled furiously at her.
sad mates yelled that she would be
rua down, but she calmly mtsaed col-
I Melons and went her way. She went
rowing tn a bathing suit, and aba
1 could swim, and there was little to
fear.
On thla Monday aha was out for a
spin. The first that the half-distracted
lawyer knew of her presence was
when the mate of the boat passed him
on the run and called out:
"She a over thla time, for sure, and
she'll be drowned!"
The swells of the stemaer had no
set Mias Blanche's boat. Two hun-
dred persona saw tbe accident. Mr.
Hosmer looked down on that golden
head as the first wave rolled over It.
When captain, mate and crew of s
steamboat are hired nothing la aald
of their Jumping overboard to rescue
people It's so much per m<«th and
board. When a lot of passengers start
from New York for Albany by boat,
they figure on the fare alone. Jump-
ing overboard should bring a rebate,
but It doesn't They are supposed to
keep dry white ether folks drown.
Thus It came about that when Miss
Blanche's boat went over there wad
only one man to do the Jumping set.
That was Mr. Hosmer. He couldn't
i swim a stroke, and he wore a suit
j that was bound to shrink, but he didn't
even stop to throw down hla hat.
i Down he plunked close beside the girl,
who had caught her overturned boat
with one hand and waa smiling at a
i deckhand who waa trying to throw s
1 lot of Iron pipes overboard to help
float her. and when hs came up from
' the bed of the historic river hs was
j choking and gasping and strangling.
One hand wan reached out, the fingers
clinched In hla hair, and when he had
been drawn to the boat the girl began
working It Inahore. Pooh! It waa
dead eaay! Nothing but fun! She
waa cheered again and again, but she
didn't feel that aha deserved It.
Mr. ljosmer was hauled up on s
dock s very watery man. Water had
surrounded him, and he had sur-
rounded water. They pounded him
on the back, and they rolled him on s
barrel. They called him a hero, and
they called him s fool. Hs was finally
pumped out and sent to s hotel to
recuperate, and word was left that he
should call at tbe Ackworth residence
as soon sa able to receive thanks.
Hs waa all right by the next after-
noon, except for a feeling that he had
lowered the Hudson by several Inches,
and the call was made. At last Jie
stood face to face with the girl of bis
waking hours and hla dremas.
"I want to thank you ao very, very
much," she aald after the formalities.
"But why did you Jump overboard?"
“To save you, of course," he replied.
"But you couldn't swim a stroke!
Besides, I upset the boat on purpose,
Just to scars the people a bit!"*
"But—but I saw you on the train a
few days ago?"
"Yea?"
“And 1 had—had to get an Introduc-
tion to you!"
"I don't understand why!"
"Ttecauae I fell In love with you at
first sight."
"And—and-V
"And I can't begin the practice of
law until I get through with romance."
When the recovered and dried-out
man had departed the house Mrs. Ack-
worth asked her daughter what sort
; of a person she had found him.
"Why, I think he mentis well, but
\ he rather startles one at flr|f.''
"la he to call again?"
"I'm! I suppose so! Yes. he's Just
that kind, and after a girl has saved
a young innn'a life she can't drive him
to suicide, you know. Yes, a very,

Waking Up the Evangelista,
An Kngllnh clergyman, visiting this
country, tella of a bishop in England
who. when a new church In hla dio-
cese was to be consecrated, received
many letters complaining that the ar-
chitect had disfigured the Interior with
useless decoration.
The bishop decided to mnke an In-
spection of the new building, and, ac-
cordingly summoned the architect to
meet him there.
The bishop could find nothing wrong
until, just aa he reached the chancel,
he chanced to catch sight of four
wooden Images apparently guarding
the pulpit.
"What do these figures represent?"
he was asked.
"The four evangelists."
"They appear to he asleep?"
“Do you think so?"
"I certainly do."
Whereupon the architect called out
to a man who was at work on one of
the pews:

All cattle are divided Into or toll
Into certain claaaea acordlng to the
work they do to best advantage. In
other words, the dts{>oattlon they make
of the feed they consume over and
above the amount needed for main-
tenance determines this class.
When we take Into consideration
that cattle are only machines for con-
verting hay, fodder and grains into
tome product for human food, and
they are the only machines or fac-
tories known that will convert those
materials Into beef, milk, butter and
cheese, we get a much clearer concep-
tion of the real meaning of beef cat-
tle, milk cattle or butter cattle.
By beef cattle we mean those types
of cattle which will use their surplus
feed to beat advantage In the manu-
factrue of beef. Of this type we have
three prominent breeds: Shorthorn,
Hereford and Aberdeen Angui. While
AberdeervAngus Champion.
these are the three leading beef
breeds, there are others, such aa Red
Poll and Devon. By some writers the
Red Poll and Devon are classed as
dual purpose: but for tbe present we
will consider them beef breeds.
Of the three breeds mentioned first,
we can scarcely say one Is better than
the other, for they belong on the same
plane. It la a matter of choice or
preference with each man for himself,
which he likes best, and then that be-
comes the best for him. Every' one
of us will give our best attention and
efforts to the things we like best.
Therefore the breed of cattle we like
best will give us best results and be-
comes best for us.
The two remaining breeds are good
and In some sections are very popular,
but for strictly beef purposes are
rather small and have a tendency
toward the dairy formation.
When we go Into the business of
producing beef we want the breed of
cattle that will produce that product
at the least cost and in the greatest
quantities. Then it behooves us to
select one of the best breeds. 1 say
one of the best breeds, and I mean
one. Do not make Ae mistake that so
many have done and think that yon
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than pure-bred
steers of either one. Juat remember
whenever you breed together two dis-
tinct breeds you are producing grades
of both breeds and going down hill.
Again, when you breed together two
distinct breeds you are much more
apt to confine the poor qualities ot
both breeds tn tbe offspring. As an
example, and one that ia commonly
practiced. If you breed a Holstein cow,
which produces a large quantity of
milk but poor In butter fat, to a Jer-
sey bull, a breed which produces a
small quantity of milk and rich In but-
ter tot, you are very likely and moat
apt to produce a heifer that will pro-
duce a small amount of milk, the char-
acter Inherited from the alre. and that
little poor In butter tot. the character
from the dam The reverse Is your
desire, but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things, and also be-
ing able to buy the pure-breds of any
breed we many fancy, let ua act
wisely In the matter and purchase our
foundation stock of pure breeding.
Surely, if we wanted a plow we would
not go to the store or factory and buy
a Syracuse beam, an Oliver chill mold-
board, a South Bend landslide and a
Mount Joy point, and go home on the
back porch, take a clawhammer and
a monkey-wrench to make a plow of
these parts. Well, It Is Just as ab-
surd to think we can make the differ
ent breeds of cattle fit together and
do the desired work well. —
I take tt we do not expect to raise
beef cattle, or any others for that
matter, except for the profit they give
us In consuming the products of our
own farm, converting them into beef
and establishing a new channel
through which to market these prod
ucta.
Then, if this is our desire, do as we 1
would in purchasing a piece of ma- 1
chlnery for any other purpose—buy j
the machine that was manufactured
for that particular purpose, and buy
the best. The best Is the one that will
do most satisfactorily the greatest
amount of work and at the least cost.
I am a great believer In beef cattle
when we can make them consume our
farm crops at market price and save
the trouble of hauling these away.
Unless we can figure market prices
for our crops fed at home, then the
feeding or raUing of cattle becomes a
burden and not a profitable business.
Yes. they should do more than this.
They should make us a profit above j
all cost of feed, labor and incidents !
which always enter Into any buslnes- i
proposition or venture.

A MAN IN THE OPEN
Bearing the decided stamp of origi-
nality, A Man in tha Open, by Roger
Pocock, heads tha Hat of early autumn
hooka. It la an entirely new departure
la fiction writing, bnt will be none the
leas welcome because of that. It la
bound to attract attention by reason of
Its vary oddity and unconventionaUty.
The author hsa tapped a fountain of
humor that never dwindles, his knqwl-
edge of human nature la seemingly
limitless, the supply of adventure ia
bounteous, the philosophy ia shrewd
and original and the narrative never !
tolls to hit the target One might think j
that De Morgan had reached the acme I
of formlessness; but Mr. Pocock seems
to go him one better, though his struc-
tural method Is artistic In its uneven-
ness and serves to emphasize the stal- !
wart character of Jesse Smith, the i
hero.
In the beginning the story Is related
by an ignorant mah in the first person j
from his earliest recollection. Later,
his wife, whom he marries long after ,
the beginning of the story and who is
a cultivated woman, takes up the tale
and for a few chapters carries It on,
when It is resumed by the husband.
After the middle of it Is past, and there
Is trouble between the husband and
the wife. It Is told In the form of let-
ters from the man to his dead mother. ]
This unusual style has tha advantage
of revealing, through their methods of
rehearsing their experiences, the char-
acteristics of the various figures In the
story and of Injecting Into the narra-
tive a charm of variety which keeps
the Interest at fever heat. Surprise
follows cloak on the heels of Surprise*
and there le newer an Instant when
the reader has cause for declining in.
terest.
But moat remarkable of all Is the
character of the hero. Never before*
■lnce men began writing of Imaginary
people, haa anybody thought of such a
man aa Jesse Smith. He comes to life
and all its experiences absolutely fresh
and altogether baa many hard experi-
ences he retains much of the freshness
that seems to be inherent in his nature.
All the primal passions of men are fa-
miliar to him. but the littleness, tha
meannesses engendered by human na-
ture, he does not readily comprehend,
and each of them haa to be throat on
him afresh. He is not stupid, he Is not
wilfully blind, he Is not sentimental
where human nature is concerned; but
the little training he has had aa a child
and his later life fit sea and on the
plains have made him oblivious of
small things and have absorbed him
in the vastness of nature. So, through
every thing, he remains simple, and
he approaches all situations and prob-
lems free from conventional views and
methods of treatment.

The cooperative cow testing asso-
ciations of Denmark have rapidly in-
creased to about 500 associations. A
man is employed by each association
to visit tbe farms and do the testing
every three weeks. He weighs the
milk and keps an accurate record of
the feed consumed, so the net profit
per year of each individual cow can
be ascertained.
Two Copenhagen milk companies
handle over 100.000 pounds of milk a
day. alt of which Is produced under
veterinary inspection and in accord-
ance with strict rules laid down by
the company.

There are 1,100 co-operative and 300
private creameries In Denmark. These

of butter a year, eighty per cent of
which is exported to Great Britain. In
summer the milk is delivered twice a
day and In winter once.
Stringent rules are laid down In re
yard to cooling the milk on the farm
and In not mixing morning's and
night's milk. All foods which may
Impart an objectionable flavor to the
milk are forbidden.
The creameries are compelled by
law to pasteurize ail skim milk by
heating to 180 degrees before It leaves

Fruit and vegetables juices, on ac-

great value as cleansers and in tha
elimination of waste water from the
system. It Is always best to remove
pulp of fruit before eating, aa the cel-
lular walls are Indigestible and fill the
system with waste matter. It Is al-
ways the cellular walls that cause in-
digestion and not the fruit Juice.
