think nothing of, getting as far. West.
as tte cattle ranges of Kansas with his
ioorse and buggy, traylng up etock oa
the way out and'tack. .. v;
I don't know that I-have anything
against raJlroads," said he, "that would
induce ma not. to travel bv . tradn. S
ship all my etock by train. I guess
the reason I do not de on cari my
self iis tlhat I etarted out by buggy,
amd, as I am used to it, I just keep at
it.' I have my usual route . to cover,
sometimes extending 2,000 miles. I trav
el a certain distance every day. There
are a certain number of farmers or
stock dealers to see between towns. In
fact, a. man can have a time table by
buggy the eame as railroaJd trains
have. It may not be so regular, though.
A thousand-mile tfcrip can be made
without varvine .three days for the
whole route It all depends on how
business goes.
"When a -man travel over the road
by buggy for -forty years he gets to be
pretty well known, -and if he well cared
for his credit, his honesty and his good
character be has no trouble buying
stock dbeap and right, and if "he pay
spot caeih there is a small profit for
hm iafter he has paid his freight and
other exoenses East and sells out for
safe cash. When I get tired of buggy
ricLiner. I set out and walk. That ha
ken me erood heaLthtWhen I drive cuttle
east, instead of shipping by oailot3
walked muob more than in the past
few years. The old-time droving ds not
sharp. Dressed beef is shipped East
too cheap. The only way to 'get any
profit in Olive cattle is to buy spot cash
by visiting the farmers and stock deal
ers im person, and you can not get to
their farms nearly so cheaply a by
traveling by buggy. You can buy rail
road tickets with stop over privileges,
but 'then you fciave your expense m
hiring teams to get into the country,
where the farmers live. Travelng by
buggy Is also cheapest. I carry very
little cash money, as I always pay by
check. There is no1 danger on the
highways, but it is always beat to trav
el by day and rest at night. In the
(hot weather I mlake starts at 4 a. m
and get over a good deal of ground by
9 o'clock. 'A few hours in the evening
finish up the day's work in cattle buy'

"I had one honee I used every week
day for ten years. I never travel or
do business on the Sabbath day. Horse
and m'an must rest on the seventh day,
or the first day of tlhe week, whichever
way you want to take it. Thirty miles
driving every day, stopping,, buying
feeding, and shipping smart work
enough. O course I enjoy the life. Any
man would if he once gets into it. It'z
the best school 1m the world, I think,
and about the only way to see the
country. Some of ray friends call m
foolish for mot riding on railroad trains,
but that's all right. I never was mar
ried, and havimg mo family, was always
free to go iand come."

Detroit's Novel Plaii; tor a
Wonderful. Statue, on
Belle Island.
ft
Detroit in 1901 wilV celebrate Its' 200th
anniversary, and the public spirited
irlzens of the town propose to mark the
event by the erect! qn of an arch'tectural
feature which shall endure for all time.
In other words tihey are in search of
the same object the managers of the
1900 Parisi OTrrMYritton rLrc KwV-ti9 fA,
that is, a "clou," or something which
wai stand out as the one rreat, conspic-
uoud feature bf the expositfonT
All sorts of ideas haye been' pro;
The most novel one is that of David 3,
Buick, who has made the plans for a
gigantic statue of Cadillac, to be placed
on Belle Island. AnrtxAhe de fet Cadillac
was a French commander, who founded
ietroit in 1701. He was governor of
Louisiana from 1711 to 1715.
Mr. Buick's steel giant would ' realty
be. -a large building, with the appear
ance of a human figure. It would be
250 feet in 'height with a terra catta'ex-
terior. The smallest part of the figure
would be twenty-five feet In circum
ference. Its broader portion would be
across the shoulders, where dt would be
100 feet wide, including the arms. The
circumference of the throat would be
thirty-seven feet and of the body eighty-nine
feet. Thle head would be seventy-two
feet in circumference.
Mr. Buick would uefe the strucure as
&n art museum and observatory, from
which with the aid Of powterful tele
scopes, the surrounding country for
many miles distant could be viewed.
There would 'be room to each leg for
eight elevators. In thle body, between
the hipsr and shoulders, there would be
eipace for fifteen stories, each lfteen
feet from floor to ceiling. Two of these
stories could be thrown together, and
would make ai big convention hall. Ar
chitects and engineers say the plan is
feasible.
A CLEVER TRICK.
It ;e(Htainly looks like dt, but. there is
really no trdck about St. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak kid
neye, malaria or nervous troubles. W
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This, medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as
stimulant Do liver and kidneys, is a blooc
purifier and nerve tonic. It cures constl
pation, headache, fainting spells, sleep
lessnesa and melancholy. It 1s purely
vegetable, a mild laxative, amid restores
the system to ilts natural vigor. Try
Eleotnic Bi titers and be convinced, tna
they are a miracle worker. Every bot

Ben Franklin's Mother.
In Franklin's autobiography there if
only the barest mention of his mother,
Abiah. and merely as the daughter of
"ono of the first settlers of New EnglaDd."
Presumably this silence was due to tha
eighteenth century attitude toward women
more than to any want of affection, fox
the two corresponded with regularity even
after the mother was "very weak and
short of breath so that I cannot sit up to
write altho' I sleep well o' night and my
cough is better and I have a pretty good
stomach to my victuals," and she had to
beg her son to "please excuse my I bad
writing and inditina for all tell me I am
too old to write letters."
To her Franklin sent gifts of various
kinds, including "a moidore whiob .
please to accept toward chaise hire, that I
you may ride warm to meetings this win
ter." Upon her death in 1752 he wrote
his sister Jane: "I received yours with the
affecting news of our dear mother's death.

WHAT ADVERT18IIIC IS.
Advertising is business news. It tells
the tilings whicb are of great dally
importance. It Is of more account to
the frugal housewife to, know where to
get certain necessary commodities at a
less price than usual than to know of
the troubles in Slam and Alaska.
The news should be mews, it Should
not be allowed to grow gttate with re
petition la the same old way.
If you can onljK advertise in a small
Way, pick out the best paper in your
territory and spend all your advertis
ing money in that. When your busri
nless grows and you can spend more
money, buy more space in the eame pa
per, unta you are using all you profit
ably can.
Properly prosecuted, newspaper acl
vertisimg will always pay. That herje
and there is a man' who says, "Adver
tising doesn't pay; I have tried it,"
proves nothing but that hie methods
were faulty. It is the persistant, sys
tematic effort that pays in advertising
as well as in evterything else.
In taking medicine, the regularity of
the dose is almost as important as1 the
drug itself. For that reason the col
umns of a newspaper offer the best
mediums for business announcements.
For that reason programs, Wall hang
ers, and schemes of all sorts, are never
effective.
The local newspaper goes into the
household br'stling with intelligence,
brimful! of the news out of town, and
sparkling wiith the daily doings of the
community.. If its advertisers are
awake to thleir opportunities it contains
business news of .value, for it pays to
hread advertSsementel
John anamaker has said: "To dis
continue an "advertisement is Mke $ak-,
ing down your sign." '
That is just the idea. " You have a

you are doting. That is what your ad.
