BY McCLUHB, PHIttlPS V COMPANY Tbe early morning bad been the most desolate time to Miss Mattle. As-tbe day wanned up the feeling of loneli ness vanished, perhaps to return at evening, but not then with the same absoluteness as when she walked about the kitchen to the echo of her own footsteps In the morning. - Now the slamming and the banging which accompanied Red's energetic ac tions rang in her ears most cheerily, She even found a relish in the smoth ered oath that heralded tbe thrust of a splinter In his finger. It was very wicked, but it was also very much alive. ' . Bed arose and dusted off his knees. "Now we're off!" he said as the fire began to roar, "that's next?" "If you'd grind the coffee, Wllir she suggested. "Sure! Where's the hand organ?" He put the mil! between his knees and converted the beans to Dowder to the tune of "Old Dog Tray"1 through his nose, which Miss Mattle found very amusing. She measured out the coffee, one spoonful' for each cup and one for the pot Bed watched her patiently, and When she had finished be threw In the rest of the contents of the mill drawer. "I like It fairly strong," said he in explanation. "Now, Will!" protested Miss Mattie. "Look at you!- That will be as bitter di boneset!" "Thin her up with milk and she'll be all right," replied Red. "well, such wasteful -ways I never did see. Nobod.v'd think you were a day over fifteen.", "I'm not," said Red stoutly, "and," i,iirMtir tior phfn In hla tinnri And fnrn- ing her face up toward him, "nobody'd put your score mucn nigner man mm neither if they trusted to their eyes this morning." The compliment bit so tender a place that Miss Mattle lacked the resolution to tear it out; besides, it was so hon est that it sounded much, less like a compliment than a plain statement of fact. She bent hastily over the fire. "I'm glad I look young, Will." she said oftly. "So'm I!" he assented heartily. "What's the sense In being old, any how? I'm as limber and good for myself as ever I was in spite of my forty years." "-. "You're not forty years old!" ex claimed Miss Mattle. "You're Joking." ."Nary joke forty round trips from flying snow to roses since I bit land. Mattle wny, you were only a imie irlrl when I left here don't you re member?

It Jnst happened that Old Sot ty rergoeon's eabtn was watonmA bint. Jim took most of the roof off wttb him as be went-In. -He sat awhile to figure ont what was tramp, hiring eome ISO feet too fast to do mnch ttmktug. Then, Hello r be yells.

'Make faelf f kome,' and WlU that be roU. over. - "Jim couldn't wait for morning, and, 'though his leg was pretty badly sprained, he made tbe trip all the way round the trail and woke ns up to tell us how he'd gone through Ferguson's roof and tha old man asked him to make himself at home. Next morning there was Scotty out in front of his cabin, his thumbs in his vest boles, looking up. ' " 'What's the matter, Scotty says L " Well, I wishr you'd tell me what In the name of God went through that roof T sajs he. - "I swallered a laugh crossways and - put on a serious face. 'Must have been a rock,' says I. " 'Bock nothln'f says he.- If it had been a rock 'twould have stayed in tbe cabin, wouldn't it? Well, there ain't the first blasted thing of any shape nor description in there but the hole. You can go In and look for yourself.' "It cost Scotty one case of rye to make us forget those circumstances." "i should have thought the man would be killed, striking on the roof that way," said Miss Mattle. - "Ob, not Roof was made of quaking asp saplings, just about strong enough to break." his fall. Scotty was the sleeper, though! It wasn't hardly nat ural the way that man could pound his ear through thick and. thin. He had quite a surprising time of It once. He'd been prospecting round tbe Ruby re fractory ore district and he came out at Hank Cutter's sawmill Just at .on down. Hank's place was full of gold rushers, so Qld Scotty thought he'd sleep outdoors in peace and quiet He discovered some big boxes that Hank was making for. ore bins for the new mill, and as the ground wai kind of damp from a thunder shower they had that day be spreads his blanket inside the box and goes to sleep. Ore bins have to be smooth and dust tlgtit, so it wasn't a bad shanty. "Well, there came a jar and waked him up. The box was rolling d little and - going along, going along forty mile an hour. Scotty lit a match and found he was in a kind of big tunnel, but the wall was flying by so fast be couldn't make out just what kind of a tunnel it was.- Now, he'd gone to sleep in-peace and tftiiet on a side hilh and to wake np and find himself boat riding in a tunnel was enough to sur prise anybody. First be pinched him self to see If it was Hank's pie or a cold fact; found It was a fact; then ho lit another match and leaned over and looked at the black water underneath, but this made the box tip so it scart him, and he settled down in the bot tom again. He didn't try to think. What was the use? No man living could have figured things out with tbe few facta Scotty had before him. All of a sudden the box made a rush and knot out into tbe air, and Scotty felt they were falling. 'God eakesr he says to himself. 'What's next, I won-1 derf Then they hit the water below with a kerflap that nearly telescoped Scotty and sent tbe spray flying. Aft-1 er that they, went along smooth again. .Well.' says Scotty, 'I don't know1 where I am, nor who I am, nor-wbat's happened, nor who's it, nor nothing about this game. So far I ain t been hurt, though, and I might Just as well Ue down and get a little more reef ' -it was broad daylight when be woke up again, and a man was look ing into the box, 'Hello, partner! be says. 'I hope you've had a pleasant Journey. Do you always travel this wayf "Scotty raised op and found his craft was aground, high and dry no water within a hundred feet or it On one side was quite a little town. " Bay,' says be, 'could I trouble 700 to tell me where I am, frlendr -You're at Placerrille,' answers tbe other. ' . . - TlacervUler yelle Scotty. 'And X went to sleep at Cutter's mill, sixty five miles from beret What are yon giving ne, manT i'm putting it to yon straight,' says tbe stranger. Take a look around you.' "Scotty looked, and there was an kinds of wreckage, from a dead beef critter to a wheelbarrow, z " what in nation's all thisf says be. "Washout,' says the man.

"And now," said Red, pushing back his chair, "it's time I got to work and left you to do tbe housework undis turbed." "What are you going to do, Will?" "First place, there's fences and things to be tinkered up, I see. suppose a millionaire like me ought to hire those things done, but I'd bare measles of tbe mind if I sat around doing nothing." "I have been wanting to get the place in good order for some time,' aald Miss Mattle, "but what with the money I bad to spend for this and that, and not being able to get Mr. Joyce to come in for a day's work when I wanted him, It's gone on until there is a good deal of wrack to it" "We'll wrack it t'other way round in no time. - Got any tools here?" "Out in tbe barn is what's left of father's tools. People have borrowed 'em and forgot to return 'em, and they've rusted or been lost until I'm afraid there ain't many.of 'em left" "Well, I'll get along today somehow, and later on we'll stock up. Want any help around the house?" "Thank you, no, Will." "Then I'm off." It waa almost with a feeling of ter ror that Miss Mattie beheld blm root up the fence. Her Idea of repairing was to put in a picket here and there where it was most needed. Bed's waa to knock It all flat first and set it up In Al condition afterward. So in two hours' time he straightened up and snapped tbe sweat from bis brow, be holding the slain pickets prone on tbe grass with thorough satisfaction. Tet he felt tired, for tbe day waa already hot with a moist and aoaklng seacoaat beat, to which the plainsman was n accustomed. A three-auarter grown boy paased by, lounging on the seat of a farm wagon. "Hey!" hailed Red. The boy stopped and turned slowly around. "Yes, air," he answered courteously enough. "Want a Job?" aald Bed. -Well, I dunno," replied tbe boy. He was much astonished at the ap pearance of his Interrogator, and be was a cautious New England boy to boot "You don't know?" retorted Bed. "Well," with some sarcasm, "d'ye sup pose I could find out at tbe postofflcer Tbe boy looked at Bed, with a twin kle in bla eye and a comical drawing of bis long mouth. "I calcMate If yea cud fin' ont any w'eres 'twould be there," aald be. Bed laughed. He bad noticed tbe busy postmistress rushing out of her store to waylay any one likely to nave information on any subject, a stream of questions proceeding from her through the door "Say, you aotiSSythlng particular to dor "No, sir; leastways th'aln't no hurry about It" "Can I buy stuff to make a fence with around barer "Yea, sir; Mr. Pettlgrew's got ell kinds of buUdkV material at bis store two mile over yonder," pointing with tbe whip. "Yon drive over there for me and get some-Just like this bere-plckets sad posts and whatever yon eaU them long pieces, and ri make tt right with yon." - ! . "Tea, sir. ' How much will I getr "Oh; tell him to All the wagon up with It, and m send back wbat I don't want Hustle, now, like a good boy; I want to get shot of this Job; I liked It better before I began." When hat Mercury had speeded on tbe Jonmey at a faster gait than Bed would bare given him credit for tbe architect strode down to tbe black smith's shop. There was a larger crowd than neoal around the forge, ss tbe advent of the etranger had got Into the wind, and tbe village Volcaa was a nerson who ot only looked tbe whole world hi tbe face, bat no one , af the maiden ladles of ralrfleld eonld . hare esecUed aJa Interest la looking tbe whole world as mnch la tbe IneVe pocket aa possible. The blacksmith was emphatically n man of goastn, as woQ u s aard working, God fearing Say. tbere.be comes now. Mr. Tat tler cried one of tbe loangars, andi nndgad tbe smith to look.

"Why, I've got a fence to build," ex claimed Red, "and now I want some help want It so bad I'll produce to the i extent of three a day and call It a day from now till 0 o'clock. Any taken here? Moke your bets while tbe little ball rolls." The loungers understood tbe general drift of this and pricked up their ears, as did the blacksmith. "Guess one of the boys will help you," Said the latter. Well, who's it?" asked Red, glanc- ing K at the circle of faces. Three dol lars a day was enormous wages in that part of tbe country. Nobody knew just wbat to say. "Oh, well," cried Red," "let's every body run! I reckon I can find some thing to do for the five of you. Are you with me?" "Yes, sir," they said promptly. "Can I borrow a hammer or so off you, old man?" questioned Red of the smith. "Certainly, sir," returned the latter heartily. "Take what you want.1 "Much obliged. And the gate hlngea are out of Whack. Miss Saunders' place, you know. Come over and take a squint at 'em in the near by and by, will you? May as well fix it up all at once. Come on, boys!" It was thus that the greatest enter prise that Fairfield bad seen In many a day waa undertaken. Miss Mattle was simply astounded as the army bore down upon tbe bouse. "Whatever in tbe world Is Cousin Will doing?" said she, but resting strong in the faith that it was neces sarily all right she was content to wait for dinner and an explanation. Not ao the postmistress. Tbe agonies of unrequited curiosity tbe worthy woman . Buffered that morning until he at last summoned up her resolu tion and asked tbe smith plump outj and out wbat It all meant would have to. be experienced to be appreciated. And 4be smith kept her banging for awhile, too, saying to himself in Justi fication that it wasn't right the way that old gal had to get into every body's business. The smith was like some of the rest of us sgv could see through a beam If it waa & bis own eye. fro aa oorrnntrrp. Preparing Cattle For Market. In preparing cattle for shipping every precaution aud the greatest care should be exercised by the feeder or shipper so that tbe animals will reach tbe mar ket tot prime condition. If the steers are being finished on grass and grain, they should be taken off the pasture and put In a dry lot at least twenty-four hours or, better still, forty -eight hours before shipping and fed only half their usual allowance of grain, with all the bay they will eat In some cases It Is advisable to feed no grain, thus getting the animals to eat considerable bulky food, such as bay. Tbe whole secret. If there la such a thing, of shipping cattle successfully is to get them full of dry food Just pre vious to tbe time they are placed on the cats and market that is, the leas moisture tbe food contains in propor tion to dry material the better, be cause aa a rule a steer that is largely filled with water baa a tendency to scour and thus show up gaunt and bad on the market Some unscrupulous shippers have a custom of salting their A BCCKSTS BBAtm. Two-year-old Shorthorn atear, raleed la vnio.j cattle, eo that they drink large amounts of water and fill op on tbe same. This la something that la usually very detri mental to tbe aale of tbe cattle. It la tleee for tbe shipper to think that be can fool tbe buyer by each a practice. Br feeding a large quantity of salt one Is apt to bring on a fevered condl- n la the animal's stomacn or mgee- tlve organs. Wben tbe cattle are token off pastnre they should be put In aa dry a yard aa possible, eo that they may keep toler ably clean. Do not leave, the ordering of the car on til tbe last minute, but rather order It so that It can be prop erly bedded aad a good supply of bay oat In Its racks. Straw, or coarse, makes the beet kind of bedding one can nae. However, tbe most isssn ttal thing la that of supplying plenty of whatever is svaUable. To simply If bed a car In many cases Is like catting tbe price of tbe cattle, bocaaee they become dirty, and mnch or their flaleh and quality are apparently lost There hv nothing better than good, sweet hey for cattle before loading or In transit Some shippers advise feed lag a small quantity of grain; but, as n row. grain, especially com, ha a tendency to fever tbe animals and canes them to drink too aoerb water. Tboe, all things eonshlared, tbe lees grain that at fed jost prevloos to and daring ehlpmeat the better. When the cattle are ready for ehipmeot, they Bboold be driven erar the erake) aad tbe weights recorded. Then they ahoald be driven very carefally to the stockyards er station where they are to be shipped.

The House, during the past week, was the scene of a notable demon stration when Rep. Boutell of 111 i noi8 nominated Speaker Cannon for the presidency and Democrats as well as Republicans cheered to tho echo. Just why the Democrats would haye joined in ia not quite clear and there are indications that they now feel that tbet they yielded somewhat to hysteria, for Rep. Henry hag since demanded in pub lic debate to know why, if "Uncle Joe" is such "a good fellow" ho does not permit the President's policies to become laws, aa for in stance, the employe' liability law, the anti-injunction bill, and similar measures which are in the interest of the plain people; why he baa kill -ed the Appalachian Forest Reservo bill, by referring it to the judiciary committee for a report on its con atitutionality, when there ia no gen uine question on that score and tho purpose is only to kill the bill by indirect methods, etc. Every once in a-while the members of the House demonstrate the truth of the old adage that "men are but children of a larger growth' - by permitting themselves to get hysterical and cheer and applaud things which, on sober second thought, they do not approve at all. This applies quite as much, to Republicans aa to Dem ocrats, for a recent poll oi tbe Re publicans showed the members of tbe House to be for Secretary Tan two to one. There are Indications that' tbe Aid rich financial bill will not get through tbe senate without tbe stamp of Democratic statesmanship. Senator Johnston, tbe new Senator from Alabama, has offered an amend ment effecting the bank reserves which he supported with such a clever application ol Mr. Aldrich's own logic, quoting even bis very words, that it now looks as if tbe Johnston amendment would be adopted without opposition. There seems to be no doubt that the Aid rich bill amended will pass the Sen ale sod 8peaker Cannon has promis ed to jam. it through the House, re gardless of tbe fsct that there ia great opposition to it there,. The Senate Committee on For eign Relatione held a secret meet ing one day Ibis week in which it seriously criticised the extravagant expenditures of Whi tela w Reid, Ibe American Ambassador to Great Bri tain, who is spending money so lav iebly that it will be almost impossi ble for an Americans of moderate means to follow bim in this impor taut post. One member of tbe com mittee recited tbe case of an Ameri can who was invited lo visit Mr. Raid. He spent several days with the Ambassador and when be came to leave be felt he must follow tbe English custom of tipping all the servants. When tbey lined op to re ceive hie gratuities there were one hundred and thirty-five of them and tbe poor mao was obliged to give away so mocb money that he bad to go to a friend in London and borrow tba money to pay bia way back to this, country. This was at Ambassador Raid's townhouse, but be maintains aleo a conn try boms tha rise of which may be ganged by the tact that be employs thirty-five gardeners alooe. After tbe discussion of If r. Raid's extravagant method it waa decided to report favorably tbe bill providing for tbe purchase of aabaaaioa and legations in most of lbs foreign capitals sod a provision was added compelling tbs foreign repreaenatires of thia.country to live la the booses so provided. Tbs bill doss not, however, provide an em bassy ia London.; Tbe oppooenta of war will be glad (ylafl to learn that the Senate hoa ratified l he arbitration treaty with Fiance without a dissenting vote. This means, of course, that the other six treaties which are in process of ne gotiation will also be approved as soon as they are sent in to the Sen ate. The treaty does not do much, but it shows the proper disposition on the part of this country and proves to the world, in a measure at least, that the U. S. is sincere in its advocacy of arbitration in pref erence to war in the settlement of international disputes. Probably no foreign people have doubted the sin cerity of the preseat administration, but -they may have doubted that sinceei'y of the present administra tion, but they may have doubted the disposition of the people as a whole because of the Senate's former refus al to ratify the seven arbitration treaties without to amending them thattbe President would not com plete them by exchanging ratified tion. There has been little doing in the way of Democratic politics of lale Tbe situation in the Democratic party is strikingly similar to that which existed in the Republican party four yeara ago. Then it was assured that President Roosevelt would be renominated and the only lively politics followed the conven tion and attended the effort lo defeat Judge Parker. This year the Demo crats seem certain to renominate William J. Bryan and it is tbe Repu blicans who are at sea.

ROD'S PROPHETIC UTTERANCES Mark Twain Gets Oil Sorhe Good Ones on the "In God We Trust" Motto. New Vork Dlapatob, mill. The prophetic utterances to-night of Wbitelaw Reid, American Am bassador to the Court of St. James, who sees in the future a strengthen ing of the ties thai binds his own country to the nation to wbich he is accredited, and a vanishment of the Japan war bugaboo, aroused the pilgrims of the United States t o a pitch of enthusiasm that ' found vent in a roaring demonstration that fairly shook Delmonico's ban quet ball. Juat returned from Wash ington and about to sail for England, the Ambaaador's worda took on a significance that held in clsoeet in terest the 400 diners whose guest be was. Having naicuiea tne sugges tion that war between tbe United States and Japan waa within tbe range of possibility, tbe Ambassador ;dded: "So far as tbe information and be lief ol tbe officers of the diplomatic service extends there ia absolutely nothing in it." The Embassador enlarged upon mutual intents of Great Britian and tbe United States and pointed out that there waa nothing in tbe Great Britain-Japanese treaty inconsistent with a still closer understanding be tween this and the mother country. Much of tbe fun of tbe evening was afforded by Mark Twain. Mr. Clemens said that ho waa grateful that Congress ru about lo restore to Ibe coinage the words "In God We Trust" He continue!: "I knew that we would get Into difficulty if we left tboee worda off and straightway tbe trouble camel Tbe prosperity of Ibe whole nation went down in a pile wben we ceased to trust God in that conspicuous and well-advertised way. If Pierpont Morgan hadn't stepped in just then I Now that we have resumed onr trust in God ws will discharge Mr. Morgan from his high office of honor." - FwBualMl aire.
