Herd numbers 00 breeding cows that
weighing 1400 to 1800 pounds, a largo
number being pure bcotch, and as good
breeding as was ever brought from Scot
land. Experience has taught me that for
breeding purposes cattle shipped in aro
very little good the first year, their consti
tutions must become accustomed to our
high altitude and our grass. Hence ani
mals raised here aro preferable. I intend
to raise thorn bore. Good, first class
Nebraska breeders, the equal to anything

Most Invigorating Bath In Great Salt
Lake.
The late Charles Dudlcv Warner
author, editor and traveler while
bathing in Great Salt Lake, remarked
to a friend that in all his travols he
never before saw such a splendid com
bination of salt sea bathing, blue sunlit
skies, pure mountain air and pretty
women and children. The climate of
Salt Lake City, while temperate the
year around, is particularly delightful
sin ummor, with its sunny days and
cool nights. One, three und seven-day
tours to the mountains can be made
from Salt Lake City. Tourist rates
are now in effect via. the Denver & Kio
Grande ("The Scenic line of the
World") and the Rio Grande Western
("The Great Salt Lake Route.") For

Tho Lincoln Journal says that on
the McCook division the road has in
the passenger service a number of bal
anced compound engines. Those en
gines tide as smoothly, almost, as n
coach, nnd because of the absence of a
jar or jolt, tho enginenien seemed to
forget speed limits. Regular passenger
trains wore hurried along at a rate of
speed not regarded as safe by the offic
ials. To check against this, these en
gines have been fitted with speed regis
ters that show the rate of speed travel
ed during the entire trip and the engine
men are checked up in this way.

V.A8 EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
Minister Turns Apparent Predicament
to Hit Advantage.
Rev. F. W. Sanford, leader of a new
sect at Shiloh, Me., that threatens
to orcoed In numbers DowIo'b army,
tells n. story of a Fresh) terlan minis
ter. "This minister," says Mr. Sanford,
"was making a tour of Maine, preach
ing ench Sunday In a different church.
It happened that on one particular
Sunday he had no now discourse pro
pared. This, however, did not bother
him. Would ho not be among strange
people?
"It chanced, however, that when ho
arose In the pulpit he saw a number
of last Sunday's congregation seated
In the front row. A delegation hnd
come to hear him again, Intending, if
he pleased them, to offer him tho
incumbency of their church.
"What was he to do? Ho suspected
the cause of the delegation's visit, and
he wanted to please them mightily.
An Inspiration came to him, and,
trownlng down upon his hearers, ho
began:
"'Dear Friends: 1 have been much
pained by a report that has reached
me. I preached last Sunday, as you
know, In Shiloh church. Vell,I have
been reliably Informed that the good
people of Shiloh took umbrage at my
discourse. They auestloned its ortho
doxy. How nm I to reply to them?
How am I to defend myself? But one
way is open to me. In order to refute
this baseless charge from Shiloh I am
going to repeat, sentence by sentence,
and word Tor word, the sermon I
preached thero last Sunday. Give me,
I pray you, your attention, and see if
you can find in my sermon a single
unorthodox thought." Chicago Record-Herald.
First Aid for Injured Animals.
A West Philadelphia physician Is
writing an interesting and valuable
little book that ho Intends to cnll
"First Aid to Injured Animals." The
book deals with the treatment of
tho common accidents that happen to
dogs, cats and horses. It shows how
50 per cent of.the deaths that occur
am ig" domestic animals aro duo to
the mistaken treatment that these an
imals receive In tho interim bdtween
their falling 111 and the veterinary
surgeon's arrival. The physician said:
"Tako the case of a valuable dog, for
Instance. Dogs frequently choke. A
bono, a nail or a pleco of tin gets
In their throat and thero is great
danger of their dying before the sur
geon comes. Many of them do die,
but thero Is no reason for this. For
it is easy, without the slightest dan
ger of bolng bitten, to put the hand
n the mouth of a dog and to draw
out or push down tho obstruction that
Is killing him. A bandage a hand
kerchief or a towel will do is passed
between tho teeth and over tho upper
Jaw, and In a similar way another I
bandage Is passed botweon the teeth )
and over the under Jaw. One per- j
eon holding tho ends of two bandages 1
keeps the dog's mouth wide, open; aj
second person can then, with per- ;
feet' ease and safety, put his fingers ,
down tho animal's throat and relievo
him. Thero aro n hundred omergen-
cies like this one Just as dangerous j
and Just as easily treated. In my book
it is my purposo to describe all theso I
emergencies and thus I hope" to savo
many animals' lives."
The "Coup de Monserrat."
Tho fatal issue of a recent Fronch
duel causes discussion of what tho
Parisian fencers cnll the "Coup do
Monserrat." Tho history of this stroko
is romantic. Tho hero of the story
was a young Parisian musician en
gaged to bo married to a young lady
of Bordeaux. Quarrelling with a cousin
of his fiancee, he got his ears boxed
at tho Bordeaux Club. Ignorant of
fencing, he dared not reElmt the In
sult, and renounced his engagement.
liut he also took fencing lessons from
one Monserrat, a maltrc d'armes of
Toulouse. Monserrat taught him one
trick only, nnd he practiced it for a
year. At tho end of that time ho re
turned to tho Bordeaux Club, slapped
his man's faco, and, being called out.
Instantly ran his opponent through
tho body with his cunning lunge.
