It would be difficult to find ny kind i of business where greater results are ac complished with less show, lens noise and less friction than In the live stock commis sion business. A business where the dropping of a whip may mean the closing of a transaction Involving thousands of dollars; where a man's word is all that Is asked. It Is a buslnuss requiring quick decision and unerring Judgment and yet the laws of the Meads and the Persians were not more severely enforced than are the slightest rules governing the live stock trade. Most of the trading is closed between 8 o'clock a. m. and noon. Absolutely no trading Is done after the whistle blows at t o'clock p. m., and yet In that brief time transactlona covering over $500,000 have been consumated. Live boosters In a live business! The title seems weak. To get even a meager conception of what It all mean you must go to the yards your self, talk with the real, live hustlers they are all hustlers and they are all courteous then compare the methods they use In the transartion of their business with those of almost any other line; the number of clerks employed for a like volume of business, the office space re quired, and the utter lack of ostentation and you will begin to realize what the term "Red tape" really means and also that big business transactions between honest, reliable i without it. can be conducted The Old Farmer's Lament. I've tagged around from town to town, Belling my hogs to Jones and Brown I've worn my clothes In patches and rags. Until I happened to light on "Taggs." It happened thus, I must confess, Margaret (my wife) she- did her best To keep me patched to show no rags, But I never did till I went to "Taggs." Wa arose to the morning before break of day, To milk the cows and make the hay. To thresh our wheat we put In the bags, But we never made money till we went to "Taggs." She said "Now John, twenty years or more, We've raised hogs and cattle by the score. When you were ready to sell, prices seemed high. But- you sold to the wrong man, who wanted to buy. y There's Harry and Will and Arthur you know, The last one mentioned Is now In St. Joe, Harry and Will are the South Omaha firm.

For the first half of the 'present year they sold 1,260 cars, an In crease of 33 per cent over the first half of 1906.

Means of Gaining -Strength. Al- It is better to take pleasurable and ex hllaratirg exercise In the open air, on green playing fields, than to swelter In smoky cities and lounge at street cor ners or in crowded cafes. For games, when rightly Indulged in, constitute for those who are perfectly sound In wind and limb a most health ful recreation. At the same time one must not think that the participation In games is a means of gaining health for those who are weakly or who are suffering from some Illness, whether functional or other wise. As a matter of fact, even those who are hale, well and strong and full of lusty life, often find that certain of the consequences, both direct and Indirect, of games are not altogether favorable to good health, while for the ailing or deli cate person they are In nine cases out of ten most injurious, and certainly not to be recommended. .- - ., ' t, It must be remembered that there Is no such thing as an "all-round" game that Is to say, that: there la no gam which Impartially exercises and develops all the muscles of the body. In nearly every well known athletic pastime one part of the body will be found to be developed at the expense of the others. Certainly there la a tendency In this direction. Now, when a muscle is exercised, a cer tain amount of wasted tissue Is burnt up, and the flow of blood toward the par(s affected Is stimulated.. The tissues call, as it were, to the blood for assistance. They ask it to bring more oxygen, mora nutrition to them to replace, the matter that has been burnt up - by exercise. And the blood - responds to the aPPoal- It flows In increasing vol ume to me pans exercised, wnicn tnus withdraw some of the llfe-glvtng fluid from organs and tissues which perhaps require it more than they do. Say you are a sufferer from chronlo dyspepsia, and that your digestive organs are weakly and their functions dlsorgan lzed. You take part in some game. You bring violently into play, perhaps shortly after a meal, certain muscles. These mus cles draw blood to them. Your digestive organs, already weak, are still further enfeebled by the dlmunition in the sup ply of the blood that nourishes them. And, therefore, as a result of the exert else you have taken, your malady, Instead of being cured, as you had hoped it would be. Is actually aggravated. Anr one wh0 "ft"6" trom chMt or lung complaint should eschew vigorous athletic pastimes as he would eschew damp sheets and wet footwear. Too many are unaware of the urgent necessity of this. "My chest wants developing," they argue; ."exercise does undoubtedly de olt 1Uoglcayi mugt pIay ,ame,.. They forget that exercise can be ob- talned In other ways than by taking part in athletic contests. It la not the posses sion of the cricketer, the cyclist, the oars man, the -footballer alone. Quiet, gentle, physical movements, scientifically per formed, will do more to develop the chest than any amount of haphazard exercise taken In the course of a strenuous forty five minutes between the coach lines. For there is always danger in athletio games: The lungs msy be filled too full of blood, and If they are at all weak, then hem orrhage may ensue. Not that I wish to say, as may be seen by the opening . paragraphs of this ar ticle, one word In depreciation of athletio games when practiced In moderation, un der rightful conditions and by the right Individuals. But I wish to Impress most strongly upon my readers that haphazard exercise can never usurp tha place held by scientifically directed exercise In the curing of 111 health. The human body is such a delicately constructed organization in many ways that all care must be taken not to throw Its machinery out of order by any rash tampering with Its mechab ism. Eugene .

NEW YORK. Sept. 28. Miss Julia H. Schnelllng of Oneida county, N. Y., believes herself to be the only florist In the country I who uses chloroform and ether In forcing i plants for sale. The discovery of the benefit done plants by drugging them was made by I Dr. Johannsen of Copenhagen In the early '90s, but according to Miss Schnelllng she is the only person who has taken advantage of It commercially. "My experiment began two winters ago with half a dosen lilac bushes." Miss Schnelllng said to a 8un reporter the igther day. "Knowing that some persons take ether better than chloroform, I fancied there' might be the same difference in plants. "Three of the lilacs I put under the In fluence of chloroform and three I etherised. All were a success, but those treated with ether gave the quickest and best results. I made more experiments with other lilacs, then with azaleas and with several kinds of bulbs. . "The greatest difference was In lilies of the valley. Under chloroform the results were wonderful, while ether seemed to have almost no effect. "As my 'experiments were successful I set to work to use the discovery another season In my business. I had several- air tight boxes built and when the time came I proceeded as with an assured fact, not as In an experiment. Because I did go Into It so fearlessly and made such a success I feel that I have earned the right to talk and tell others how It can be done. "In the first place the box must be large enough to hold the plants without bruising their roots or twigs. Then It must be abso lutely airtight. At the bottom Is a bed of dry sand on which the plants are laid, and let me say that they should be as dry as possible. The temperature of the box should be about 62 degrees. "After the anaesthetic has been Intro duced the box must be left untouched for at least forty-eight hours. After this the plants should be taken out, planted In a cool greenhouse and receive the usual garden treatment. "They will begin at once to put forth buds, and do It so rapidly that they may almost be seen to grow. Last season I had lilacs and azaleaa in full bloom eighteen days eryr I had put them into the anaes thetic box as dry shrubs. I was almost as successful with deutzias, spiraeas, vibur nums and -several kinds of bulbs. As to the expense of the anaesthetics it Is paid tor a dozen times over by the added beauty and luxuriance of the plants, to say nothing of the saving of time and room in the greenhouse. It may be, as several florists who saw my plants last year suggested, that If such treatment Is persisted in several successive years the plant will deteriorate from exhaustion. That point I have not had experience enough to decide, and besides, why should consider It at all? I mean from a busi ness standpoint. Few persona buy house plants with the thought of keeping them beyond that season, any way. As I have said, some plants, like some persons, prefer '.chloroform, while others show a preference for ether. For that rea son I use both drugs. 1 "To both drugs there are drawbacks. abcut which an amateur ahould be warned. While ether Is much the cheaper it la so inflammable as to require great caution In handling. Chloroform Is more expensive, but a less quantity Is reuutred. "Again, some plants require a stronger solution than others. For Instance, tulips. hyacinths and lilies need stronger doses than lilacs or azaleas. It may be a, ques tion of temperament. That is the reason given by doctors for the same peculiarity in animals, and we know so little about plants that I for one would never Insist on a different reason. "In spite of the many experiments that are always going on, very little 'Is really known about plant life. Unlike animal doctors, plant doctors are seldom learned men. It is unusual to find a florist wh knows or' cares anything beyond produc ing salable plants. Why, when my first drugged plan proved a success I made It my business t go to several other florists and Invite the" to come to see the plants. They though they were handsome plants, that muc' they had to admit, but there wasn't a on In the lot who cared to think out a reason Some of them figured on the cost and sale they might try it themselves, but the ma jorlty of them, I am sure, looked upon 1' as an accident or some new variety of fertilizer that I was using." PRIVATE MINTS PAID WELL California's Money Factories . Proved Proa table Iadaatrles 1b the Early Days. A few day ago a gentleman of San Francisco showed a rare relic In the form of an oblong "slug" such aa passed cur rent In tha. very early days of California for 150, but which really contained but It':- worth of gold. That recalls the first effort made In San Francisco to provide a cir culating medium to take the place of gold dust, which was In general use at the rate of 116 an ounce. Every man In buslneox had a pair of gold scales on his counter and .It required much computation often to measure out small payments.

In coin of the land was a five or sis months' transaction, with danger of loss in transportation. David C. Broderlck, who afterward be came United States senator, and his old time New York friend. Colonel Jonathan D. Stevenson, formed the acquaintance of Frederick P. Kohler. a Jewelr, who sub sequently became the first chief of the volunteer fire department, and these three discussed the feasibility of minting gold coin that should fill the long-felt want of Uncle Sam's coins. They called Into con sultation two Englishmen, who were In the country with considerable capital, and were versed In assaying. Colonel Steven son suggested Kohler as a suitable man to make the money. He was examined as to h' knowledge of assaying and It was found that hla knowledge was thorough. Broder lck did not have any money to speak of, but from his friend, the colonel, he ob tained a loan of $3,500. With some addl- tlonal capital advanced by the cautious Englishmen the money factory was started and In a short time It was turning out $10 and $6 pieces bearing a semblance to those Issued by the government and having em bossed bn them "5 dol. California gold," or "10 dol. California gold." . It rroved a profitable venture, for the coins so Issued were worth Intrinsically a little less than $4 or $S. Besides, while gold dust was worth commercially $16 an ounce, the coin makers paid only $14 an ounce and this added to the profit. The business was so successful that many others opened private mints for supplying the residents with ready-made money, not only In San Francisco, but In other parts of the state, among them being Dubosq, Dunbar. Aug,. Humber, Kellogg, Mnffatt, and Baldwin. The latter bought out Kohler and his partners, and was first to Issue private minted $20 gold pieces. The making of coin by private firms and Individuals was kept up even after 1854, when the branch mint was opened In Commercial street above Montgomery. The private mints were discontinued In 1855.
