First Beef Extract Factory. Something over a hundred years ngo tlio hacendndos (ranchmen) of Uruguay complained to tho government that over 450,000 head of cattle were being killed' annually for their hides alone.' Tlio carcasses were thrown to the dogs or left on the rolling pampas for" the vultures to devour. Beef In Uruguay was so plentiful that It was something of n nuisance evidently. Of course that day has pnssed, but they still havo cattle enough down there to convert some 700.000 head Into 113,000.000 pounds of Jerked beef In one year, most of which Is sold to Brazil, Cuba, Porto Hlco and other troplcnl countries. Perhaps but few people kuow thnt the first great factory for tho production of beef extract was established at Fray Bentos, a little city on tlio Uruguay river about a hundred miles above Buenos Aires, tho cosmopolitan cnpltal of Argentina, and that it is still oper ating.

ROSS "Oh. papa!" said Georgle Trevor. "Whnt do you think?" "What do 1 think? Why. I think my little boy looks very happy about something." "I saw mamma In the park!" A pained expression came over tho father's fnco. His wife, the mother of the boy. had been dead a year. The child was at the time tpo young to understand the nature of death nnd had been told that his mother had gone nway and would not come back to him. Wheir the father recovered from the shock his son had given him he said: "You were mistaken. (Jeorgle. You couldn't have seen mamma, for she Is In heaven." "Yes. 1 did. While N'nnny nnd I wore walking In the park I saw mam ma sitting on a bench by tho fountain. I ran up to her and said. 'Oh. mamma, f where have you been so long, and why don't you come home?'" "And what did mamma say?" "Why. she kissed me and snld, 'I can't como to you, but you enn come nnd see me at my homo occasionally.'. Then I asked her where that wns, and she said. 'I'll tell your nurse, and she can bring you.' " Tho father took his boy In hlsnrms. kissed hlni and. putting him down, sent for the nurse and questioned her. Sho told him thnt tho lady Georglo had referred to was the Imago of his lost wife; that sho had humored tho boy and had given her address, nt the same time telling her that sho, might bring him to see her If she found ho was longing for her. Tho next day Georglo asked to be . taken to see his "mamma," and the nurse, having referred the matter to his father and received his assent, took the child to see the lady, Miss Marian mil. who potted him and gave him candy and sent him homo loaded with favors. Many times during his visit she was nbout to explain to him that sho was not his mother, that ho had made a mistake, but that he might con sider her as such, and she would lovo him the same as 1 she were so, but tho child seemed so sure about her Identity, nnd it was evident that she would only pain him by setting him right, so she could not bring herself to correct his error. When be parted from her he snld: "Why don't you come home, mamma, and see papa? no looks so sorry be cause you went nway I" Miss mil found It more difficult to parry this part of the error than any of the others. Ilowever, she was no prude and yielded to the necessities of the case. Her heart was touched by the motherless, boy, 'and she placed his comfort above all else. "You can bring papa to sed mo If you like," she said. "And then will you como homo with us?" Tho lady kissed him and said that sho couldn't do that, and she couldn't explain to him why, but doubtless bis father would understand. So when Georglo's father camo homo that evening tho boy fold him that mamma couldn't como homo to sco him, but ho could go to seo her. Ono afternoon Mr. Trevor mndo a call on Miss Hill. Ho wns struck with her likeness to his lost wife and was not surprised that Georglo had mis taken her for hlB mother. "I would have brought Georglo with me." he said, "but thought that wo had better first arrange whnt wo should tell him to satisfy him, that our stories may not disagree." "I fear that I shall have to rely on you to tell him that I am not his moth er. I fenr I havo not tlm heart to do so." "I will think tho matter over. There is no need for haste. I am not sure that wo could make him understand his mistake even If wo tried to do so. For tho present we may permit him to remain in ignorance." Miss Dill made no reply to this. Sho know that It would be embarrassing for the child to continue in supposing that sho was his mamma, Hying in an other home than theirs. Mr. Trevor also realized this, but ho had thought of a remedy. Tho moment ho saw Miss II111 ho wus seized with u deslro that she should fill tho gap left by tho wife he had lost Indeed.-from tho time ho thought of this possibility ho became a different man. Uelng a wid ower, ho knew how to lay siege to a womnn's heart aud realized that his motherless child had opened n wny for him. When ho arose to leave after his first call ho had formed a definite pur pose that would bring him a compau ion nnd his boy a mother. Uo began by sending trifling gifts by Georglo when ho went with his nurse to see his mnmma, principally flowers and books, following up these by invitations, which at first wero such as might include Georglo. Prom this ho stepped to Invitations nnd gifts of such frequency that his ultimate in tentions wero obvious. Ono day ho made his boy danco fot Joy by telling him that "mamma" was coming home. "I know sho would como somo time!" cried tho child, clapping his hands. "When Is sho coming?" "Papa Is going to tako her for a short Journey, nnd -when wo como back sho will bo hero all tho time." Georglo nover know but that ho had found his mother, who for somo unnc countnblo reason had gone nwny, but had come back to him
