Bill Watso.i. The sheriff of EHIsvillo sat In his office oiling the machinery of the law; which Is to say, cleaning his revolver. There was not yet any courthouse. The fdierlff was the law. Twelve new mounds on the hillside back of the Cottage Hotel showed how faithfully he had executed his duties as judge and jury since lie had taken up his office nt the beginning of the "cow boom" of Elllsvllle. His right hand bad found sdmewhat to do, and he had done it with his might. EHIsvillo was near the zenith of Its bad eminence. The entire country had gone broad-horn. Money being free, whishy was not less so. The bar of the Cottage was lined perpetually. Wild men from the range rode their horses up the steps and Into the bar room demanding to be served as they sat 'n the saddle, as gentlemen should. CilAjfe was too tempting to the six- shooters of these enthusiasts, and tho barkeeper begged the question by stowing away the fragments of his mir ror and keeping most of his bottles out of sight. More than once he was asked to hold up a bottle of whisky so that sonio cow-puncher might prove his skill by shooting the neck off from the flask-. The bartender was taci turn" and at times glum, but his face was the only one at the bar that show ed any irritation or sadness. This railroad town was a bright, new thing for the horsemen of the trail a very joyous thing. No funeral could check their hilarity; no whisky could daunt their throats, long scared with alkali. It was notorious that after the civil war human life was held very cheap all over America, It having been seen bow small a thing is a man, how little missed may bo a million men taken bodily from the population. Nowhere was life cheaper than on the frontier, and at no place on that frontier of less value than at this wicked little city. Tho sheriff of Elllsvllle looked thoughtful as he tested the machinery of the law. He had a warrant for a new bad man who had come up from "Any the Indian nations, and who had cele brated his first day in town by shoot ing two men who declined to get off the sidewalk, so that ho could ride his horse more comfortably there. Hill Watson, the sheriff of Elllsvllle, was n heavily built man, sandy haired, rcd-niustached, and solid. His logs wore bowed and his carriage awk ward. He had thick, clumsy looking Angers, whose appearance belied their deftness. Hill Watson had gone thiough the Quantrell raid In his time. It was nothing to him when he was to be killed. Such a man Is careful in his shooting, because ho is care less of being shot, having therefore a vast advantage over the desperado of two or three victims, who does not yet accept tho fact that his own days are numbered. The only trouble in regard to this new bad man from below was that his mental attitude on this point was much the same as that of Sheriff Bill Watson. There fore the sheriff tvus extremely careful about the oIHnE of the cy'inder. He finished the cleaning of his six sliooter and tossed tho oiled rag into the drawer of tho table where be kept the wan ants. He slipped the heavy weapon into the scabbard at his right leg and saw that the string hold the scabbard firmly to his trouser Jet;, so that he might draw the gun smoothly and without hindrance from Its sheath. He was a simple, unpre tentious man; not a heroic figure as he stood, his weight resting ou the sides of his feet, looking out of the window down tho long and wind-swept street of Elllsvllle. Gradually tho gazo of the sheriff focused, becoming occupied with the figure of a horseman whose steady riding seemed to have a purpose other than that of merely showing his joy in living and riding. This rider passed other riders without pausing. He came up the street at a gallop until opposite tho oince door, whore ho Jerked up his horse sharply and sprang from the saddle. "Mornln', Bill." ho said. "Mornin', Curly," said the sheriff pleasantly. "l-ookin' for a doctor! You're rtdln perty fast." "Nope," said Curly. "Reckon It's a shade too late for a doctor." The sheriff was gravely silent. After a while he said, quietly. . r8" jfTUff ri If AT THE HOUSE lMtMWhM)jWQ "Any trouble?" "Yep. Plenty." "Who?" "Why. it's Cal flreathouRe. You know Cnl. l.ast week he goes off west n ways, a-lookln' fer some winter range thnt' won't be so crowded. He goes alone. Now, to-day his horse comes back, draggln' his lariat. We Mowed we better come tell you. O' course, they ain't no horse gettln' away f'm Cnl Greathouso, not If he's alive." The sheriff fell into thought, slowly chewing at a splinter. "I'll tell you," ho said at length, slowly. "I kaln't very well git away right now. You go over an git Cap Franklin. He's a good man. Pick up somebody else you want to go along with you, an then you start out on'Cal's trail, near as you can git at it. You better take along that d d Greaser o' yorn. that big Juan, fer he Ida run trail like a houn You stop at all the out fits you come to, fer say fifty miles. Don't do nothln' more'n ask, an then go on. If you come to a outfit that halnt seen hliu,an' then another outfit furder on that has seen him. you remember the one that hain't. If you don't git no track In fifty mile, swing around to the southeast, an' cut the main drive trail an' see it you hear of anything thatnway. If you don't git no trace by that, you better come on back in an' tell me, an' then we'll see what to do about It furder." "All right, Hill," said Curly, rising and taking a chew of tobacco, In which the sheriff joined him. "All .right. You got any papers fer us to take along?" "Papers?" said the sheriff contempt uously. "Papers? Hell!" Ike Anderson was drunk calmly, magnificently, satisfactorily drunk. It had taken time, but it was a fact ac complished. The actual state of af fairs was best known to Ike Anderson himself, and not obvious to the passer by. Ike Anderson's gn7.e might have been hard, but it was direct. His walk was perfectly decorous and straight, his brain perfectly clear, his trouble?" hand perfectly steady. Only, some where doop down in Ills mind there burned some little, still, blue flame of dnvllishnoss, which left Ike Anderson" not a human being, but a skillful, logi cal and murderous animal. "This," said Ike Anderson to him self all the time, "this is little Ike An derson, a little boy, playing. I can see the green Holds, tho pleasant meadows, the little brook that crossed them. I remember my mother gave mo bread and milk for my supper, nl ways. My sister washed my bare feet, when I was a little, little boy." He' paused and leaned one hand against a porch post, thinking. "A little, little boy," be repeated to himself. "No, It ibirt." ho thought. "It's lke Anderson, growing up. He's play ing tag. The boy tripped him and laughed at him, and Ike Anderson got out his knife." He cast a red eye about him. "No. it isn't." lie thought. "It's Ike Anderson, with tho people chasing him. And the shotgun. Ike's grow ing uj) faster, growing right along. They all want him, but they don't get him. One, two, three. Ave, nine, eight, sevenI could count them nil onco. Iko Anderson. No mother. No sweetheart. No home. Moving, mov ing. But they never scared him yet Ike Anderson. ... I never tool; any cattlo!" An impulse to walk seized him, and he did so, quietly, steadily, until he met a stranger, a man whose clothing bespoke his residence In another re gion. "Good morning, gentle sir," said Ike. "Good morning, friend," said the other, smiling. "Gentle sir," said Iko, "just lemme look at you watch a minute, won't you, please?" Laughingly the stranger complied, suspecting only that his odd accoster might have tarried too long over his cups. Ike took the watch In his hand, looked at it gravely for a mo ment, then gave It a Jerk that broke the chain, and dropped it into bis own pocket. "I like it," said he simply, and passed on. The stranger followed, about to use violence, but caught sight of a white-faced man, who through a window vehemently beckoned him l pause. Ike Anderson stepped Into n saloon nnd took a straw from a glass stand ing on the bar, exercising an exact and critical taste in its solectton. "I'm very thirsty," he remarked plaintive ly Saying which, he shot a hole In a barrel of whisky, Inserted thi straw, and drank liugerlngly. "Thank yon," he said softly, and shot the glass of straws off tho comi" tor. "Thank you. Not nfter me." The whisky ran out over the floor, out of the door, over the path and Into the road, but no one raised a voice in rebuke. The blue flame burned n trifle higher in Ike Anderson's brain. Ho was growing vory much intoxicated, and therefore very quiet and very sober looking. He did not yell and flourish his revolvers, but walked along de cently, engaged In thought. He passed by the front of tho Cottage Hotel. A negro boy, who worked about the place, was sweeping Idly at the porch door, shuffling lazily about at his em ployment. Ike pnused and looked amiably at him for some moments, "Good morning, colored scion," he said pleasantly. ".Mawnln", boss," said the negro, grinning widely. "Colored scion," said Ike, "hereafter to oblige me would you mind whoopln' it up with yore broom a lectio faster?" The negro scowled and muttered, and the next moment sprung sprawl ing forward with a scream. Ike hnd shot off the heel of his shoe, In tho process not sparing all of the foot. The negro swept as ho had never swept before. Twice a bullet cut the floor at his feet, nnd nt last tho stick of the broom was shattered in his hand. "Colored scion," said Ike An derson, as though in surprise, "yore broom is damaged. Kneel down nnd pray for another." The negio knell and surely prayed. On all sides swept tho wide and empty streets. It was Ike Anderson's town. A red film seemed to his gazo to come over the face of things. Ho slipped his revolver back Into tho scabbard and paused again to think. A quick footstep sounded on the walk behind him, and he wheeled, still puz zled with the icd film and the mental problem. The sheriff stood quietly facing him. with his thumbs resting lightly In his belt. He had not drawn his own re volver. He was chewing a splinter. "Ike," said he. "throw up your hands." The nerves of some men act more quickly than those of others, and such men make the most dangerous pistol shots, when they have good di gestion and long practice at tho rapid drawing of the revolver, an art at that time much cultivated. Ike An derson's mind and nerves nnd mus cles were nlways llghtnlng-liko In tho Instantaneous rapidity of their action. The eye could scarce have followed th movement by which the revolver leaped to a level from his right-hand scabbard. lie had forgotten, in his moment of study, thut with his six shooter ho had fired once nt tho wills gy barrel, once nt the glass of straws, once at the negro's heel, twice at tho floor, and once nt the broomstick. The click on tho empty shell was heard clearly at tho hotel bar, distinctly ahead of the double report that fol lowed. For. such was tho sharpness of this man's mental and muscular action, he had dropped the empty re volver from ills right hand and drawn the other with his left hand in time to meet the fire of the sheriff. (To be continued.) A EULOGY ON SIN. -Woman's Declaration' That It Is All Worth Living For. Tho Paris correspondent of the Lon don Globe tells a curious story of a certain English writer . . . who had always, before he came to a most disastrous end, been famous for his want of balance." This individual ap pears to have come by his defect nat urally enough, to judge from tho por trait of his mother sketched by ono of his friends. The writer once took that friend to see the lady In question and this is tho way in which the in terview ts described: "it was a beautiful sunny day in June, the sort of day when all normal people want to bo out of doors. Wo went to a pretty house In London, and were ushered Into a drawing room. tho shutters and curtains of which wore all carefully closed, the gas be ing lighted, ami where there was a sickening smell of some vory strong pertume. Crouched in a large chair was tho most terrlblo looking old dame, with long, skinny hands and glittering black eyes. She gave mo a claw to shake and looked at me fixed ly. 'Voting man,' said she, 'I don't know why you come to see an old woman like mo, but I can give you some cxcollont advice. Remember this. There Is only one thing on earth worth living for, and that is sin." A Child's Definitions. The lute Frederic R. Coudert, law. yer and wit, had a great fondness for children. Ho collected Indofatigably tho quaint sayings of children, nnd one of the treasures ot his library was a small manuscript volume filled with definitions that children had composed. This volumo was called a "child'u dictionary," and these aro some of the definitions that Mr. Coil dorl would read from it; "Dust Mud with the juice squeezed out of it. "Snoring Lotting off sleep. "Apples The bubbles that apple trees blow. "Back biter a mosquito. "Fan A thing to brush the warm off with. "Ice Water that went to sleep In the cold." LIVE STOCK n3 d :: ""., v- sir- Rabies. The following Is from a circular sent out by the Kansas Experiment station: Rabies docs not occur most fre quently during hot weather, as is gen erally believed, tho greatest losses occurring during tho fall and spring, but It toiny occur nt any season of tho year. Tho tllscaso seems to appear periodically, somo years no outbreaks being reported, nnd other years the losses are frequent and sovoro. Rnbles Is a disease of tho nervous system thnt Is transmitted from ono nntmnl to another by direct Inocula tion through a wound, ustinlly n blto finm a rabid anlmnl. It is posslblo that food or water contaminated by an nnlmal affected with rabies may in fect animals having sores In tho mouth or dlgcstivo tract, or tho In fected saliva being deposited upon an open wound or Irrltntcd niucous mem brano may cntiso tho disease. Tho disease as observed during tho year 1902 was among cattle, except In one Instance, whero two horses died. Tho loss among the cattle varied from five to twenty-seven head. In one herd of sixteen head, eleven died from rablos. In four out ot tho seven outbreaks reported, a dog sup posed to bo rabid was known to have bitten or beon among the affected cnttle. Tho disease usually occurs in from flvo to ten days after tho animals are bitten, and, among cattlo, thoy may continue to develop the dlscaso for from eight to ten weeks after the first case occurs. The symptoms vary considerably oven among cattle. The affected an imal becomes norvoiiB and excited, in many cases vicious, nttncklng poisons and smaller animals, particularly. In some instances they will dnsh nt a person hut suddenly stop a few feet away. There la a ppculiar wild or vacant stare. Affected cattlo will often push and maul other animals In the herd, nnd there Is a tendency to lick the genital organs of other cnttle. As the dlseaso progresses thoy become more excited and will often omit n hoarse hollow frequently or nlmost continuously. In many cases there Is often violent straining as If to pass dung, tho rectum often bolng everted. Paralysis often occurs, and Is first noticed In a wobbling, uncertain gait, and later the hind quarters give way and the anlmnl is unable to riso. In a few cases tho animals will fall in convulsions. In all cases animals will eat and drink water uutil paraly sis of the throat makes It difficult or Impossible. There is frcquont shak ing and swinging of tho head and opening of the Jaws, with dripping of a ropy or frothy saliva from tho mouth. Thero is a tondency for rabid animals to cat dirt, dung, stocks, otc. Post-mortem exnminatlon shows no signs of disease, although tho body Is unusually stiff nnd rigid and tho stom ach contains dirt nnd other foreign material. Thero is no treatment' for rabid animals, as death always occurs. Affected animals should bo Isolated, or destroyed at once to put them out of misery, and to prevent possible in fection of others. Water tanks and mangers should be emptied and thor oughly disinfected by using a strong solution ot concentrated lye, or a flvo per cent solution of carbolic acid. Food contaminated with saliva should bo burned. Suspected dogs should bo destroyed. Persons should exercise utmost caution to avoid being bitten or Infected through wounds on the hands while, caring for infected ani mals. Consumption of Water by Horses. In a number of feeding experiments carried on with horses at tho experi ment stations in the United States the amount of water consumed has been recorded. In testa at tho Now Hamp shire station, in which the ration con sisted of different grain mixtures, with timothy hay and corn fodder, it was found that the quantity of water con sumed varied from 70.94 pounds to 90.4 pounds per horse per day. It wac observed that both the ration con sumed and the amount ot work per formed influenced tho quantity of water drunk, although tho Individual ity of tho horse had tho most marked effect. Tho amount of water con sumed by horses on rations of timothy hay and alfalfa hay (with oats) wuf studied at the Utah station. It was .found that on an average larger amounts were consumed with the lat ter than with tho former, the average amounts per day being some 7S.rl and ,88.85 pounds, respectively. The great er consumption of water on tho alfalfa ration induced a greater elimination by the kidneys, but so far as could be observed this was not attended by iany bad results nor was it found In convenient,. At the Oklahoma station a pair ot mules during hot summer weather, drank 113 pounds of water per head dally, and on one day the pair drank 350 pounds. On an aver ago a pair of mules and horses, each weighing 2,130 pounds, drank 107 pounds of water per head per day whilo at moderate work. In these tests tho grain ration consisted of Kafir corn, maize, oat and bran. Bul letin 125, Department of Agriculture. The Growing Lambi. A. G, Gamley of Manitoba, in an ad dress to farmers said: By tho time the lambs are a month old the spring will have come; and if all has gone wo'.l with the shepherd and his flocV, It ought to be in good shape to com nience the summer operations. For a week or two feed them a few oat C rft sheavos boforo they go out In the morning, and tho samo In tho evening whon they como In, also hay in their racks for night, If thoy will oat It. Thoy will ont vory little hay at this time, but It holps to keep them up un til they got n lull blto of grass. From now till clipping time tho shepherd will hnvo It a llttlo oaslcr, and well he deserves It. for If his flock Is a large one, ho will hnvo beon hard nt work 24 houra a day nil through the lamb ing time. Shearing ought to be done between tho middle of May and 1st of Juno. Until tho wool has grown give them tho run ot tho pens nt night to protect thorn from tho cold, also during tho dny, to protect them from the sun. Dip ten days after clipping, nnd ton days after thnt again, to kill tho ticks that have hatched since the first dipping. Wcnnlng tlmo comes In August or Soptemhor, nccordlng to tho tlmo tho lnmb wns dropped. Tho cwo lambs may bo kept sepa rate for n week or ten days, and then turned in with tho flock ngain, caro having boon taken in the interval to milk tho owes, at least twice in that time, and tho heaviest milkers, as oft en as required. Tho ram lambs, If bred for tho butcher, nnd to be sold as lambs, had bettor be sold as soon as weaned, as thoy will fall rapidly if no special provision has been made for their care, such as a Hold of rapo or turnips to run In during tho dny and hay and grain nt night. Caro should bo taken not to allow them in the rapo with an empty stomach until tho frost Is off in tho morning, nnd then not too long nt a tlmo, until thoy got accUB tomed to it. At weaning tlmo, and whilo tho owes nro bolng handled, It Is u wlso plan to mark those that aro to bo disposed of to tho butcher. In this connection I would Impress on the young brooder that tho successful management of tho flock, In n great measure, depends on these things: First, the cholco ot a rum; second, eternal vigilance at lambing time; and thtid, culling closely each yeur. Don't keep nn old ewo or thoao not typical of the breed; don't be afraid to weed them out. Meat as Seen by the Butcher. At tho last meeting ot the Illinois Live- Stock Breeders' Association, held at tho Illinois Agricultural col lege, several hundred peoplo gathorod in the anlmnl judging room to witness tho meat-cutting demonstration. Mr. Samuel White, a Chicago butcher, made tho demonstration. Tho stand ard rib roast (Including soven ribs) is tho part that Is injured most by be ing too fat. Much of tho tenderloin used In hotels and restaurants is taken from "canners," as tho butcher can't afford to sell tho tenderloin from high-priced meat, as it forms the best part of tho porterhouse. In America the cholco cuts sell at a high price because thero is little demand for tho rest of tho carcass. Porter house and sirloin can bo bought cheap er in England than in tho United States because thero Is n greater de mand for the other parts of tho car cass. Chuck brings about C cents per pound In Chicago nnd 15 cents In Lon don, while porterhouse brings 25 cent3 in Chicago and from 15 to 20 jcents per pound In London. Tho American butcher has to mako his profits from a small part of tho carcass, whilo tho English butcher makes hlfi profits from all parts ot tho carcass. Porter house steak Is an American term and Is not generally known In England. Room for the Litters. A swlnd breeder says that In rais ing pigs ono should have a houso and separate lot for each bow and her lit ter. This may be demanding a llttlo too much, but it may bo thnt tho best, results can bo ohtalnod only In this way. If ono cannot give a separate lot to each sow, he can at least give a separato house. Fortunately a hog house need not cost much. Somo of our experiment stations have a bouse for each brood sow, but gvo them only ono largo lot, In which to run. Whilo tho pigs nro so young that they tako only their mother's milk It Is better to keep the litters separate, but when tho pigs have become old enough to cat slop made of milk, ship stuff and tho like, the litters may be allowed to run together. How Nature Prunes. White tho trees are pushing up most rapidly, the side branches are most quickly overshaded, and the process of natural pruning goes on with the greatest vigor. Natural prun ing is the reason why old trees In a dense forest have only a small crown high In the air, nnd why their tall trunks aro cloar of branchos to such a height from the ground. The trunks of trees grown in tho opon, whore even tho lower limbs have abundance of light nro branchod either quite to the ground or to with in a short distance of It. But In tho' forest not only aio the lower sldo branches continually dying for want of light, but the tree rids Itself of them nftor they aro dead and so frees. Its trunk from them entirely. When a branch dies, the annual layer of new wood Is no longer doposlted upon It. Consequently the dead branch, where it Is Inserted In the tree, makes a lit tle hole In the first coat of living tissue formed over the live wood after Its death. The edges of this hole mako a sort of collar about the base of the hoad branch, and as a new layer Is added each year they press It more and more tightly. So strong does this compression of the living wood become that at last what re mains of the dead tissue has so little strength that the branch Is broken off ')y a storm or oven falls of Its own weight. Then In a short time. If all goes well, the hole closes, and after awhile little or no exterior trace of it remains, Knots, such as thoso which are found In boards, are the marks left In the trunk by branches which have disappeared.OIfford Pluchot. m4Q$0&4M044449 Toinr MARK.
