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

Back From
The Dead
By EDITH V. 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
