It would not surprise the engineer and hla
assistants If the Missouri deserted Its
present bed and left the Florence pumping
station on an arm or lake adjacent to the

A small start has already been made
that has attracted some attention from
the authorities. It is cutting Into the bank

STEER BLEEDS TO DEATH

Jim Rourke's prise steer bled to death
through Its tail.
Mr. Rourke, brother of Pa Rourke, and
part owner of the Omaha base ball team,
has a large corn canning factory at Orand
Island, where he feeds cattle during the
winter. The cattle selected for feeders this
winter had especially long tails. When
the snow and rains came the feed
lota were knee deep in mud. A mud ball
began to form on the end of the tall of
each steer and day by day these ball
increased in size until It became apparent
that something must be done. Nearly
every steer had mud balls on his tall
larae as a football. It was decided that
the ends of the tails must be cut off. Th
was done.
In so doing It was noticed that the end
of the tall of the biggest steer was in
Jured and bleeding a little. Little was
thought about it and nothing done until
the next morning, when the men in charge
of the cattle went to the feed lot and
found the prise steer dead, having ble

"A great life insurance company is not the product of acci-
'dent or violence. It does not arise from a social catastrophe,
'as a mountain may suddenly arise in the landscape from a con-
' vulsion of nature. It is the product of peace, of labor, of thought,
'of energy, of fidelity, of faith, of good will amongst men.
"When a storm has swept over an estate and has done its
'cruel and possibly necessary work, the owner may send for men
'and direct them to cut away broken and twisted branches, to
'prune away unnecessary and unheal thful growths and clear the
'ground. Having done this, the men would hardly be entitled to
'claim credit, on that account, for the fact that certain trees were
'still symmetrical, beautiful, vast in girth and vigorous to the
'outermost twig. Any such claini would be presumptions and
'the men making it would become ridiculous.
"The New York Life grew like the oak and it tells the same
' story of storm and tempest survived.
"Lastly the hurricane came and did its cruel perhaps neces
'sary work. We were called in by the owners of the estate, the
'policy-holders, and toldo correct errors, to change the methods,
'to discontinue certain practices. We have done the work; but
'we are not now possessed of the idea1 that this necessary and
'useful work, as such, reflects discredit on our predecessors or
"especial glory on us.
"Having earned out the wishes of the policy-holders, we now
"assure them in facts annexed, of the vitality, the soundness, the
"large capacity for social usefulness of the New York Life. But
"we are obliged to tell the mat the same time that sound and virile
"as the Company is, its future usefulness is limited.
"The owners of an estate, after the passing of a storm, never
"orders the men who remove broken branches and cut away unde
sirable growths, to excise the living, growing body of a tree to
"cut for the deliberate purpose of ending a tree's further develop
"ment. Such a direction would be contrary to nature; it would
"indicate that the owner of the estate either had no knowledge of
