il CQNTRASi 1J0YS1 THE BUYER OF BEEF-
TOWN AND COUNTRY LADS IN THE
STRUGGLE OF LIFE
Of the Men IVho Ilnve Achieved
Great Prominence In Public Affairs
I the Rural lioyn Are at Least Twen
I ty to One Over the City Lads
A country boys lack of opportunity
Is bis best equipment for the serious
istruggle of life This sounds paradox
ical but It is true It is just us true
as tbe opposite proposition that the
greatest hindrances a city boy has to
contend with are the opportunities
which beset him when young and pur
sue him till he begins the real business
of life a business which each individu
al must carry on for himself For the
city boy everything is made as easy as
possible Even pleasure becomes to
him an old story before he is out of his
teens Brought up in the feverish rush
of a place where great things are hap
pening day by day he sees the world
with a cynics eyes and despises the
small things which like the bricks in
a house go to the upbuilding of char
acters and careers lie believes in us
ing large markers in the game of life
for pennies and small units of value he
has little taste and scant regard
The conditions surrounding the coun
try boy are as different as possible
There Is a deal of regular work that
every country boy must do and this
regularity of employment mostly out
of doors inculcates industrious habits
while it contributes to a physical de
velopment which in after yeais is just
as valuable as any athletic training
that can be had lie cannot run as
fast perhaps as those trained by a sys
tem lie may not be able to jump so
high or so far or excel in any of the
sports upon which we bestow so much
time and from whicli we get so much
of pleasure but his development en
ables him to buckle down to the hard
work In which hours are consumed
and from which very little or no im
mediate pleasure is extracted Ilis
strength may be something like that
of the cart horse but the cart horse
is to be preferred where a long and
steady pull is required The thorough
bred race horse has a tine flight of
speed and canters with delightful
lightness and grace along the park
bridle paths but the heavy work is the
work most in demand and for that we
want the draft animals every time
Enthusiasm is the spur to endeavor
and at the same time it is the savor of
life The country boy whose ambi
tion has taken him to town comes
filled with enthusiasms Even the lit
tle things are novelties to him and as
he accomplishes this and that he feels
that he is doing something not only
interesting but valuable His simple
tastes have not been spoiled by a mul
tiplicity of gratifications and so he is
glad of everything good that comes
his way At thirty if he leads a clean
life he has more of the boy in him
than his city cousin has left at fifteen
He does what is before him because It
is his duty while the other is apt
cynically to question the value of do
ing anything and ask What is the
use
Of the men who have achieved great
prominence and high influence in our
affairs o state the country boys are at
least twenty to one over the city lads
Nowadays indeed our cynical city lads
look upon men who take an active in
terest in public affairs as rather low
fellows and quite beneath their associ
ation and notice But the country boys
are at the top in other lines of endeav
or In Gnance they are pre eminent
and the great bank presidents today in
the great cities nearly all learned to
read and to cipher in country schools
where birch and ferule had not suc
cumbed to the civilizing influences of
scientific pedagogy Our great rail
ways were in the main built by them
and today the administrators of these
great companies are in great measure
from farms and country villages from
places where work began in early in- I
fancy and a sense of duty developed
while still the lisp of childhood lin
gered
Some city boys however are of such
sturdy stuff and endowed with such
natural gifts that they succeed by rea
son of their inherent superiority Oth
ers succeed abundantly because they
have used their opportunities wisely
and in real life have pursued the same
course which enables so many country
boys to win fame and fortune The
more honor to them for having sur
vived their too great opportunities
But the country boy when be comes to
town reaches out for the high places
Though not all find seats of the
mighty nearly all of the exalted sta
tions are filled in the end by men of
country birth and country rearing for
they usually start out with the sound
theory that what Is worth having is

He Xa a Man of Consequence About
the Stockyards
The buyer occupies a position of con
sequence In the stockyards community
He is an expert ueually a man of mid
dle age who has obtained his educa
tion and technical ability partly In the
packing houses and partly on the ranch
An experienced buyer is likely to re
ceive a salary of 4000 to 5000 a
year and he is worth all of that for on
his ability to tell by a moments in
spection what quality of beef will be
produced by a steer that he never be
fore laid eyes on depends primarily the
excellence of the product issued by his
house and hence the Increase of Its
business
The buyers work Is not arduous and
to all appearance his task Is a simple
one ne walks along the flat board
laid along the top of the fence glanc
ing keenly at the cattle In the different
pens Some lie passes by without a
pause others he stops to inspect more
closely and occasionally he displays
his interest in a group by asking u
question or two of the man in charge
Long experience enables him at a
glance to distinguish between a grass
fed steer and a corn fed steer to de
cide whether an animal is entitled to
be classed as fancy good or com
mon and to guess within a few pounds
of an animals exact weight by glanc
ing at him The buyer makes his pur
chases on the hoof paying the mar
ket price ruling for the day for the
grade in which it Is decided each group
of cattle belongs In a few words the
transaction is completed and the buy
ers interest in the affair is ended

An Anecdote of Bach
The Duke of Saxe Weimar once invit
ed John Sebastian Bach the Nestor of
German music to attend a dinner at
the palace Before the guests sat down
to the feast Bach was asked to give
an improvisation The composer seat
ed himself at the harpsichord and
straightway forgot all about dinner
and everything else He played so long
that at last the duke touched his shoul
der and said We are very much
obliged master but we must not let
the soup get cold
Bach sprang to his feet and followed
the duke to the dining room without
uttering a word But he was scarcely
seated when he sprang up rushed back
to the instrument like one demented
struck a few chords and returned to
the dining room evidently feeling much
better I beg pardon your highness
he said but you interrupted me in a
series of chords and arpeggios on the
dominant seventh and I could not feel
at ease until they were resolved into
the tonic It is as if you had snatched
a glass of water from the lips of a man
dying of thirst Now I have drunk the
glass out and am content
Falcons In Japan
In the olden times in Japan all the
daimios similar to the old English
lord had great sport with falcons as
they went out to the field to catch other
birds with falcons The falcons were
tamed well and used to catch large
birds mostly cranes When people now
go out hunting with falcons the men
in charge hold them upon their fin
gers As soon as one sees any bird
he lets the falcon rush at the bird as
soon as the falcon reaches the bird he
bites at the throat and throws the bird
down to the ground Meanwhile the
holder runs to the place where they are
and catches both of them
Falcons are not large birds but as
they belong to the eagle family they
are strong and brave and never afraid
to go at any bird to kill it but the men
in charge of falcons of course take
great care in feeding and taming them
Why He Laughed
Rylands who had purchased a new
horse warranted to be quiet to ride and
in harness and a good trotter to boot
had invited a friend to accompany him
for a trial drive
They had not gone very far when
the horse bolted ran against a heap of
stones lying in the road and pitched
both occupants violently into the lane
Wlien they recovered the horse had
disappeared leaving the buggy shaft
less and a heap of wreckage Rylands
began to roar
What on earth are you laughing
at dejectedly inquired the friend
Why the fellow who sold me that
horse lent me the buggy New York

Burial Alive
Though it is possible that cases of
burial of living persons may still occur
fortunately they are more rare than in
former times Even the doctors orders
against interment were not always
obeyed for the Gentlemans Magazine
of 1751 relates the case of Richard
Carson of Hay Herefordshire Eng
land who was supposed to have died
but a doctor declared that Carson still
lived and ordered that he was not to be
buried nis relatives paid no heed to
the injunction and the body was com
mitted to the grave next day A per
son passing through the churchyard
heard a noise and prevailed on the
clerk to open the grave where the
supposed corpse was found in a pro
fuse sweat and bleeding at the nose
Unfortunately the man was beyond re
covery and soon died

Address as Above
There is one lawyer in Brooklyn who
will never again make use of Latin
phrases in writing business letters A
short time ago he had to write a letter
to a client in a neighboring city regard
ing an important lawsuit that was to
come up before the court in the course
of a few days The information he so
licited was highly essential to his case
In writing this epistle he made use of
a letter head with his printed address
at the top In closing his letter he sign
ed himself thus John Langdon ad
dress ut supra
After waiting several days for the
reply which did not come he again
wrote his procrastinating client and
asked why he had not sooner answered
his first letter The next day he re
ceived a reply in which the client said
that he had answered the letter and
addressed it to John Langdon Ut
