It \waa now the Reason of mists and mellow frnitfulnoss, and for seven days the hunter's horn had sounded thro'the charred heart of the \ coal- ill's,\ aud merry music is made for the campers. It was the week of the an- nual hunt, and already soven deer had fallen our victims. Three out of that number were victories of my comrade, Lon Darden, the crack shot of the par- ty, who waa reckoned a hero in the \ooalin's.\ He had been with us upon every hunt for half a dozen seasons, and was admired for his generosity and the reckless disregard for danger he evinc- ed at all times during our wild, rol- licking life. He had no regard for to-morrow and no fear for to-day. If he should lone his life ho hoped his friends would re- member him if he had been worth their notioe. His coolness and courage were often put to the test, but, as we expressed it, he \ never flickered.\ On oue oc- casion I saw him covered by a gun in the hands of a rough, burly fellow, who panted for his blood. I watched his face, but it did not betray the leant shade of emotion; there was not a twitch in any feature, and this reck- less composure must have awed the scoundrel, for he lowered his gun, muttering: \I believe it would be too much of an accommodation, d you, to shoot you!\ When matters were amicably settled I said: \Lou you will be one man who will face death fearlessly, aye, glorious- ly!\ But our good opinion never seemed to flatter him, for he took it as a mat- ter of course aud went along in his Usual indifferent way. His was a mel- ancholy nature, but his reserve was not moroseness; it did not depress those with whom he associated. He had occasional moods of gayety and surprised ua into excessive merri- ment. The night that he made the record of killing three fine stags in one day wo wore all grouped around the camp- fire, and the wit and jest and demi- john went round. Stories of other days and hero foats of the hunt were told and compared with the events of the day. \ Old sledge \ and \ freeze- out\ were the favorite games that night, and \while theroostersat home were crowing for the change of day,\ Lon raised the tune to \Good Night and Joy Be with You All.\ We rolled into our beds of down—down on the floor—and took a good rest, to be ready for the grand finale. The next day was to be the last hunt. The best dogs of the pack bad been saved to run for this day, and long be- fore light we were mounted and riding toward where our drive was stationed, But our season of good luok was ended by a hard rain that wolled the streams to a turbulent tide. We took shelter under an old mill that had not for years thrilled in token of business awaken- ings. Under its leaky roof we waited for the rain to \hold up.\ We rodo into camp crestfallen and on\ of humor. About uightfalljit grew colder and the wind took on a sharper edge. The rain clouds had disappear- ed and left a large, low moon. We had been drenohed to the skin, and our clothes were stretched on a line to dry. No tales were told, uo fire was lighted. Each man rolled into his own blanket, cuddled down in his heap of straw, feeling like a whipped cur. The next morning there was a gen- eral h^ir of breaking up for our home- going. Home time was wasted in pro- Longed laughter upou seeing our shruuken garments that had under- gone such alarming alterations. While we were in this gleeful atato of hilari- ty 1 notiood Lon sitting in a thought- ful attitude, with his hands covering his face. \ What's got you, Lon?\ I asked so- licitiously. \Nothing except a, oqn,foundedcold and I dpq't believe I can ride forty miles on horseback until I am better,\ he answered. \ Then we will h^ve the boys leave the rations and we can go later. What do you say?\ \You are a dear boy, Frank,\ he told me. \ I shall have to accept your favor \ So the other deer hunters weuthome and left us. As I stood in the door and -watched them ride away, followed by the dogs and wagons, I thought that nothing could ever keep me from enjoying that kind of an outing. There was a wild inspiration in the echo of their horns, in the rattling and rumbling of the wagons, aud I did not leave the door until they wero out of sight and hear- ing. We. fe.H a, sense of loneliness. AU day ijon drooped about and co,i\ld pot conceal the fact that the wetting woe a, seriqus matter to him. Since my ear- liest association with him I had a vague fancy that there was some mys- tery or misfortune in his life and that he would be better for revealing it. This was a good time to learn, so I asked him many questions of his life, but they wore answered in the most monosyllable way. After that my mind rested easier. I could have been mistaken, or might have misinterpreted his manner. At any rate, I gave it up, for, in spite of the news gently—\ how can you fill a prescription with an empty jug?\ He added dryly: \Or a man eith- er; but I must have some, if you hav© to go to Nashville for it. Hill- man's Furnace is only nine miles from here.\ \I will go for you.\ \ Then get a move on you,\ he said, for he was very anxious to begin to test the restorative qualities of the \ mighty healer.\ I did not ohjeot to the ride, but to leave him alone was not the thing to do, for his sickness was more serious than he thought. I was trying to de- cide what was the best when a good idea suggested itself. I knew there was a cabin on the Furnace road, not far from us. I saddled the horse, took the jug, and rode that way. When I came to the cabin, nestling under the cliff like a bumblebee's nest, I hailed it, and an old woman thrust her head out of a crack in the door and hospitably invited me to \ 'light an' cumin.\ \Thank you, madam,\ I replied; \ I have not time. Where are the men about the place?\ \Th'aintno men folks'bout heah, 'cept them's I washes fur down thar whar they digs ore fur the furnace. That's purty nigh four miles from here; you might jest ez well 'light en cum in.\ 4 ' I have a very sick friend at the hunters' lodge above here,\ I told her, \ and I thought thece might \be some one here who would care for him while I go to the Furnace for medicine.\ \ Would I do?\ she asked. \ I am mighty willin' to help them that's in trouble.\ \Yes madam,\ I answered grate- fully; \I should feel very easy if he were in your charge. Can you ride behind me? I havo no other way to offer.\ \No I'd ruther walk; these old bones warn't made for them air kick- in' critters. You can go 'long; I'll get my 'intments and step np thar fur you.\ With thanks prompted by honest gratitude, I bowed and rode on toward the Furnace. When, after a rough, wearying ride, I again reached the camp, there sat the old granny keep- ing watch beside my chum. He was in a fit of sneezing, and it was a half- hour or more before he found a vacant space in which to crowd the dose for which ho longed. The nurse had left her box open, and some of the. snuff had fallen upon his pillow. She took a dip, then scrubbed the black-jack brush around a time or two, taking time to whisper; \Stranger you've got a tumble eick man. He mus' be keerful or he'll be payin' a big doctor's bill for this jant you've all bin on.\ She then turned to him and aBked aloud: \Hadn't you rnther be down to my house? I ken fetch you thar, whar I got two feather beds, and I ken nuss you till you git better.\ For Sale by C. W. BBXBD, Malone. \You are kind, indeed, but that] would be imposing on good nature,\ he said. \ Don't make no difference whut 'twould do; it ain't more'n I want to do fur you. 'Sides, you'll ketch, the pneumony heah, if you ain't already cotched it.\ So, by common consent, we pulled up stakes and moved to the house of Mrs. Hainey—that was her name. Surely two weary travelers had never fallen upon more delightful fortune in the way of plain comfort and honest welcome. Nothing in her meager store was too good for ns. We replenished her with all we had at the lodge, and that was quite enough to last us for two weeks. She prepared us some venison as only 'the grannies of the \ coalin's \can do, and our patient ate a hearty meal. Mrs. Hainoy was untiring in her at- tentions to him, though some of the remedies were ridiculous in the ex- treme. Lon submitted to them with the best of grace. She tied a lock of his hair in the crown of his head with a red yarn string, and felt sure he would be entirely free from fever. She made him lap all his left-hand fingers one over the other, • and sleep with dimes on his eyes. As assistant nurse I honored her in these strange con- ceits, and paid strict attention to her orders—that is, as long as she was in sight. The third day we were there it snowed from sun-up to sun-down. Dreary waa the sight as the snow clouds veiled the sky and over the rocky hill road the wagons went rum- bling past. All was dull as death could bo. There I was with my siok friend away down the other side of—no- where, in the \ coaliu's,\ aud a deep snow had effo^pally housed us in. I sat and watched the fine white curves of mounted drifts. All down the ra- vine branches and twigs hung ho^pcnl and dazzling^ the gentlest touch from the cardinal in the cedars made tiny snowslides here and there. Woodmen were ftbro^d, and from ev- ery side axe strokes rang cheerily on the frosty air. A faint, greenish dusk pervaded the room, touching with cool shadows the rag carpet and splint chairs, Its spectral tone gave Mrs. Hainey's visage a deathly pallor; the whole surroundings seemed to wear a gard of penance. The milk had been brought in almost frozen in the pail, and Mrs. Hainey had some snow cream for me. \ Try it,\ she said; \ I hain't tasted nuthin' so good in a coon's age.\ We ate the cream and then lighted silence; I gazed into the glowing fire until my eyes smarted with pain. Then, to rest them, I looked about the room whose chinked ribs wore poorly decorated; there were two or three highly-colored chromos and a tin-type picture in a shuck frame. It was the picture of a girl, and the \tent artist\ had given it the pinkness of a spray of sweet briar. I had often looked at it; tho curved lips had no expression be- yond a sort of babyish sweetness. She was charming, however, in her fragili- ty, her small features and pale loose hair; she had the incompleteness of early spring-time. This was the only refreshing spot for my eyes to rest up- on. I was sorry for the old woman, and asked her if she had never felt afraid or lonely. ' * No,\ she answered;\ I ain't afeard; the world can't do me no mo'harm. I didn't UHter know th'at a body could feel like I feol and go on living.\ And she made a reverent motion toward the window near which she sat. \AIT my trouble is buried out thar; I 'lowed you war apt to hear o' her, if you've bin in those parts much afore. Didn't you never bear of Dooney, my li'l gal?\ And she laid her pipe down to continue when I told her J had never heard of Dooney. \ Po' li'l lam', I'd 'a' stuck to her yit if she had 'a' stayed.\ \Where ia your daughter?\ I in- quired. \ Out thar in the ground. Didn't you see the grave?\ For the first time I saw two mounds. I should have thought they were snow- drifts. \You have lost two children?\ T spoke reverently; her sorrow demand- ed it. \I'm sorry you asked me 'bout the tother one, but I'll tell you. I believe you fool for me,\ she said with a quiv- ering voice. \That air long one war Dooney, my baby, and the tother was her'n. Some 'lowed 'twar her fault, some his'n, and others faulted it to her purty face. Dooney never let drop a tear, stranger, but I knowedsomethin' war kilhn' her. She drooped about the house so white and still, her lips drawod down like a flower overhet by the sun. For a time thar war a skeert look on her face, and for the life o' me I couldn't make it out. There did come a day when she told me all, 'cep- ten his name, and nothin' could git that outen her. I saifl, 'The cunnin' villain leaves you to b'ar it all by your- self, as if he had no aheor.' \ She didn't like fur mo to talk that er way, and told me she would never trouble him with the kuowiu'of all she had to b'ar, ez she'd ruther stand it by horse'f. She 'lowed she knowad no worl' but his wishes, and when she come to die I laid her away as best L could. I tried hard to save her, but pra'rs fell back to me like a broke wing bird, but I stuck to her through it all. It warn't but onct that my misery seemed more than I could b'ar. I war lookin' acrost the winder sill to whar the spades fell acrost tho now-made J grave, and it 'peered to me that God Homo Kchofis of Spun I all Hlslury. To Car* Constipation Forever.

It was'\not mere curi- osity, b\i\, genuine love and hope in my heart that I might help him to be hap- pier. But now tha£ I was convinced that he courted nobody'* confidence, I was content to leave, it as ^t wa,s. He. needed a prescription for his cold's relief. My knowledge in this line was limited; still, an innate thirat and intuition made me tafc,e hpjd of the brown jug on the shelf and give it a shake. To my surprise there was nothing left in it to shake. \I Bay, Lon\—by way of breaking our pipes and took a. social smoke—t old granny and I. \ How is my friend now?\ I inquir- ed. \ He haint so well as common to- night; them thar bluish dashes under his eye, look ez if indigo lay in the hol- low. Ef he dies he will go off real sudden, poor thin,g!\ A sickening coolness went pver me; felt the floor giyipg away u,Q,der my feet, What should I do? He was too eiok to be moved, and no medical aid was near, -\i mads up my mind that I would send home for a physician; he had no near relatives to summon. For a time there was an oppressive might 'a' sent instid for this ole'ooman who had trudged erelong 'til ahe war so weary-like and wanted rest. Why warn't it me instid o' her? But uothin' wouldn't answer mo back. The worl' war black and friends war few. Fruin down the ravine I could hear the cow- bells jinglin', and oven them war out of tune. .But as I lay thar the wind riz, and it was so full of the scent o' wild grapes that it cooled my face and helped my heart. I could aee Dooney a-comiu' through the woods with her purty face set round with them blooms ez plain ez I uster see her back yonder when she war a li'l mite o' a chile. I 8ez to myself, 'I pray that 1 may rec- ollect her juat like that.' \And sir, that one prayer at las' beat around and found its way above; for now when she 'i>ears to mo it is just lak that- her face set in grape blooms, lookin' innercent and happy too.\ I listened to her sad, simple story, and felt in my innermost heart a yearning to cheer this life. She was a sublime type of motherhood, that gray hair, those furrows with their record of infinite sorrows ao deeply written acroas tho face and so compressed, as with a futile effort to crowd in all the life story, that the whole inscription was made legible. Later in the night T sat alone by the bedside of my friend. There as I watched and hoped, I left a tear upon his hand. The remembrance of tho mother's face, forlorn and desolate, lingered with me. Whenever I dozed T dreamt of her. My friend slept but littlo. Now and ftgain, as I looked up- on hia impassive face, I wondered what he would think if I should toll him he was going to die. With his usual courage and long yearn of self- control, 1 fancied he would amile. With this thought I dropped off to sleep from sheer exhaustion, after four nights of watching. When I awoke the day-beamn were straggling thro' the small window above Dooney's grave. I looked across the bed—I was alone! At first I was stunned, for I thought I had dreamt that my good, loyal comrade had whispered to me, \O Ood! give her juatiee; T am to blame. On me lay your wrath; I havo sinned.\ \Lon! Lon!\ I called as I rushed about the room. Then I waited for an answer—tho second's silence was an infinity of suspense. He had gone. Throwing on my ov- ercoat, I made a wild leap through the door and ran to the little stable back of the hut, I was on the verge of screaming, but I feared that in might 4rowu his weak voice if he should ans- wer me. I was on the trail; his horse was not there. I looked down ^t the tracks in the. snow, then at the road that wound around the hill like a white- girth. Just beyond, at tho curve, fell a shad- ow. I ran with all my migh, audr there before me lay Lon Darden, his hand clutphing the hridle rein, His hat was off, his a.rma apart, and the heart in bis breast was still} but there was a manhood in his face that even death, at the supreme moment of his expiation, could not efface.— By Hat- tie Erminie Hives from the Metropol- itan Magazine. Some few years after Columbus dis- oovored this continent began the war- fare between the Cubans and the peo- ple of Spain. The contemporaneous history of both lands is one of constant friction in which the people of the is- land have constantly grovelled under the iron heel of Spain. Tt waa not, however, until 1823 that the United States became interested in Spain's treatment of Cuba, and in the middle of the century Cubau conspirators against Spain sot up a local habitation in New York city. From that head- quarters in 1850 General Lopez carried on an unsuccessful expedition, this being the incursion in which Colonel Crittenden gained his fame, and the sacrifice offered to the cause on that occasion was tho liven of fifty valiant men. President Polk had talked of buying Cuba, and President Pierce had vainly carried on negotiations for tho same purpose. In 1854 came the quarrel over the duties which the Black Warrior was required to pay in Havana harbor, and this was followed by the \ O.stand Manifesto,\ wherein proposal was made that Spain should sell Cuba to this country for two hund- red million dollars, otherwiae we would soizo it. Nothing, however, came of this mandatory document, and, the civil -war intervening, Cuba wan left to continue h^r Htruggle as beat she could, with the result thut in 1HHH there commenced a revolution in which Cuba won her temporary independ- ence, proclaimed u republic under Car- los Manuel de Cespedea, and fought valiantly for ten years. In 1N7H came tho episode of the American steamer Virginma. When the Spaniards cap- tured the vessel, fifty-three of those on board were instantly executerl, and one hundred and two survivors were destined for a similar fate, had not an English captain, Sir Lampton Lor- raine, managed to reach port in time to affect a rescue of the entire party. For this act of heroism the English- man was presented, when tho alnp reached New York, with a silver brisk with the inscription: \ Blood is thick- er than water.\ It is all a wrotched story, this adi count of Spanish history in Cuba— bloodahed, treachery, tyranny and massacres in one dizzy and confusing round. Twenty-five years ago an Italian poet in Cuba wrote: \ No hat- red in the world can bo compared to that of tho Cubans for Spain and ev- erything Spanish.\ And it is this hut- red that has led to warfare after war- faro On tho littlo island, which have served only to incarnadine its fields with the blood of her sons, and to leave smouldering rums where once stood prosperous cities and happy vil- lages. During the past century the history of Spain is ono grand circuit of adven- ture. Never has a single element of the uielo-drfinia been absent from ita pagea. Action, action, action is the dramatic prescription which, for agea, has been laid down aa the most requis- ite for success, and in Spain tho gov- ernmental regime has beeu character- ized continually by intrigue, intrigue, intrigue. When the century opened King Charles the Fourth, hia queen, her favorite, Godoy, aud Ferdinand, the heir to the throne, were all mvolv- od in intrigues and counterplots, with the greatest of plotters Napoleon Bonaparte. Charles and Ferdinand wore lured into France and tricked out of the throno by the Frenchman and in their stead ruled Joseph Bona- parte. On his brother's downfall, King Joseph fled for an asylum to Now Jersey, and Ferdinand, the sev- enth of Ilia name, cuuie to the throne All this time revolt, insurrection and political murder rioted through the land. What wonder then that cruelty, tortures aud death are never absent from tho long pages of her history? In 1833 Ferdinand died, leaving the crown to hia infant daughter, Isabella the Second, with his fourth wife, Ma- ria Christina, as queen regent. Tho queen waa aoon expelled to France, and regents, selected from the states- men and generals of the kingdom, suc- ceeded one another until Isabella was declarod of ago. Thereupon she brought her mother back, aud then followed an almost increditable tale of royal peculation from State funds. When Ferdinand the Seventh died hia young brother, Don Carlos, should have aucceeded him on tho throne, since the Spanish crown could not descend thro' the female Hue. A setting aside of this law was what led to tho Curlist wars which ao long were tho the chief items of Spanish news. Don Carlos fought rteaperately t<> recover his crown from his usurping niece, Isabella. When he gave up the fight his sou, Dou Carloa, took it up again. On his defeat, tho third Don Carlos, BOH of tho younger brother of the second Don Carlos, renewed the conflict. This third Don Carlos still livee in Venice, and it was his daugh- ter, Donna Elvira, who recently made a scandal in Europe by eloping with an Italian portrait painter. Thia Don Carlos is the head of the anciont line of Bourbons, and by legal royalists is held to bo the rightful king of both Spain and France. Ho has inherited the great wealth, which, during the lapse of time, has accumulated for the snpport of the Bourbon cause, but he has renounced his claim to the Spanish throne iu favor of hia son, Jamie Don Carlos and his followers always represented in Spanish history th< old conservatives, the absolute mon archj r aa opposed to the constitutional monarchy. When Queen Maria Chris Una naurped the throne for he daughter, Isabella, ahe did so by allying herself with the liberal partj in the kindom, and by promising con stitutional reforms, thorough enough to satisfy the most radical. The Spanish coutitutiona are a long and cpnfusing series. A change o ministers and anew constitution seem to have vied with bull-fighting as pastime with the populace, the armj and the eoolesiastios and the red Be publicans always being ready to lea a revolt, the one against the other The army has always proved a dis integrating factor, and repeatedly hai the disloyalty of a general led to th overthrow, not only of the govern- ment, but alao of the throne. Isabella tho Second ruled until 1868, when a rebellion put an end to her as- lendency. ThiB \ Revolution of Dis- TUBt,\ as it is called, drove tho entire oyal family into exile. It was led by General Prim, who never forgave his sovereign for making faces at him behind his back, as children Bay. Jeneral Prim and the provisional government handed the kingdom of Spain over to Amadeo, Duko of Aosta, second son of Victor Immanuel. Thia Amadeo of Savoy waa one of the eight candidates for tho throno. Another was Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, brother of King Charles of Rou- mania, and it was owing to his candi- dacy and defeat that the Franco-Prus- iaa war took place. Amadeo was a good king, loyal to the constitution, and faithful to his Spanish subjects, >nt they always hated him as aforeign- r, aud made things BO lively for him hat he quietly abdicated in 1873, after reign of but two years. Then tho Spanish set up a republic whioh lasted until the night of Decem- er HO, 1874, when Alfonso the Twelfth, boy of seventeen, and son of the ex- led Jflabplla,wasproclaimed king. Uu- «r him the Carlist wars were brought J a close and the Spanish factions eeme.'l to cjrow a little less unruly, >ut in 1HH.\> the popular young king lied, greatly lamented. Then Spaiu eemed on the verge of another change iuce the queen, Maria Christina, was npopular, as all foreigners are iu pain, and only the birth of Alfonso he Thirteenth saved the country from nother revolution. That was twelve eurs ago, and these twelve years of he king's minority are really the uietest Spain hss known during the ust century, thanks mainly »to the lrudenee and common sense of tho ueen-regeut. Such is tho outline of the history of pain during the lust ono hundred years, an outline which leaves out «v- rything of interest—the heroes, the dvontures, the myriad scandals and ntrigues, the plots, the whole mflo- lrauiatic play which makes the annuls f Spain read like u Dumas novel with nore than an ordinary amount of >loodshed and massacre.— Albauy Timm- ( r ni(m. The Caktl.- 1mllifttr.v in the Weft Tt is within two or three years that .he industry has taken the form it now ias. Briefly stated, that form is the mbodiment of the following facts: he best breechng-placps for cattle are probably Texaa, New Mexico, Ari- zona, Oklahoma, and the Indian Ter- itory, whore the climate is mild; the :>est grazing-places for cattle are Mon- tana, Wyoming, western Kansas, and western Nebraska, the home of the native grasses on which the great herds of buffalo used to graze; the best feeding or fattening places for attlo uro eastern Kansas, eastern Ne- braska, Missouri, and Iowa, where he corn that ripens them is grown; -he best killing-places for cattle are nearest the feeding-places, where the finishing process in food preparation s put on, providing freight facilities lire adequate. Iu a broad way this movement in he cattle industry is now followed. Vast herds are produced in the warm- r regions to the south of the Middle kVest. After reaching a suitable age hey aro sent to the great grazing- ?rounda in the Middle West—grounds .pparently designed by nature for this mrpose. When they reach tho age ; or killing they aro forwarded again ;o feediug-stations, moat of which are withiu 200 miles of the packing- bouses, and after a stay there to ac- iuire flavor, weight, and fat, they are ilaughtered near the stock-yards. The great traius of cattle that follow- .1 the disufte of the cattle trail urc'be- ng duplicated to-day, but in a dilfer- nt way. They are used to transport ;he cattle, to the gruzing-grounds. I met a stock-man in Kansas who hud made, in 1897, no less thau six round trips to Oregon, where he purchased native cattle, and, in special trains, had sent them into Wyoming on the ange. Hundreds of such special rains went speeding over plain and mountain in 18!)7, as they had been loing for several years, and as they will continue to do for many years to :ome. The statistics of the year show that $95,000 cattle wore brought into this 'ouutry from old Mexico in respone to uhis movement, and an estimate has been made by the cattle experts at Kansas City that iu the same year, 1K97, no less than 92/5,000 cuttle were brought into Kuuaaa to go upon the raziug-grounda or to be fed for kill- ing. A Dodge City correspondent of the New York tfveniny Post told, in an article published in the middle of December last, of the trip of a wealthy young Kanaau to Texas to buy cattle to place upon the range. He took a cowboy band to Fort Worth in a special Pullman car decorated with cattlo horna and banners. He bought 45,000 cattle. His band paraded the streets and made music typical of the return of good times. The corres- pondent added, \Ten trains brought the first in- stalment of the herd northward, and tho animals are now eating Kansas grass.\ This movement takes .place in great magnitude when the nationa quarantine ia lifted. One of tho of ficials of the Sante Fo Railroad in To peka told me that in the first seven days after the quarantine was lifted that railroad alone brought into Kan sas no less than 1)5,000 head of cattle and that the other railroads brough in about the same number. Thes< cattle were distributed in 0,11 parts o the State.— FrankUn Matthews, in Harper 1 * Weekly. Bring tho children up to sleep in the dark, as it is much better for their eyes.

(Jazettc: In your issue of Feb'y 18th I notice \ Breeder \ is out with some more of his misleading arguments. Now I am sure the Trotter and Pacer must be really sorry for the breeders of your ounty and its readers must have a Teat idea of Northern New York as a horse country. Now his reference to H. D. & E. C. Thompson, closing out I think is misleading. These gentle- men uturted in \with the best to bo had and paid big prices for just such breed- ng as they wanted, but I would like to ask \ Breeder,\ did the people m their icinity give them the patronage they deserved? I think not. The county was full of croBs-road stallions, staud- ng all tho way from a bushel of pota- oes to a $10 note—aB for that matter, or anything in sight. That seems to be the horse that suits because he is heap (the kind you nee.d fixed races or). Is it any wonder men would get disgusted and want to get out of a business, when, after expending the hue and money the Thompson Bros li«l to improve the stock in general hroughout your county, when some o called breeders were hustling around vith something by anything out of .lothing and people ready to patronize hem. This, with tbe dejiiosflion in was, 1 think, the cause of their joing out of the busiuesvs; not becaxise oiuo one came into j'our circuit with , good horse once, iu a while. I think ' Breeder \ would do well if he. would dopt H. L. Mattesou's plan of staying ut until you get something. I don't hiuk ho is far behind the game ou vhat he has raced. Dick Wood was a jood winner uud Helena and Silver- vood were always in the money. ' Breeder,\ you keepyoureye on Hub And see if lie is out of it. When you ee him out it won't be iu Helena or Bombay looking for easy things, nther. Now I am glad to see that \ Breed- r \ has discovered that the game is oo hard for the stock he has been aising; it seems to have taken him a ong time to h'ud it out. \ Breeder,\ lou't ubk people to go back 20 years to tart, again. Tf they wou't do for rae- ug, perhaps they would sell to Indiana o peddle baskets with in fair weather when there is no hurry. They might tart out a little strong, but they would oiue home very careful. 1 want to tell \Breeder \ of a race I aw once, where, among the other turters, was tho premier stalliou of a tock farm in your county. This lorse drew a great deal of attention coring and when the word was given he shot out of the bunch around tho urn and up to the quarter in the lead, gaining at every stride and showing HO much speed that it brought people in he grand stand to their foot and caus- $d a great deal of speculation as to whether he would be able to make the urn or go right ou through the fence, >ut as he noarod the one-half mile polo he. gave his tail two or three spas- modic jerks skyward (I guess \Breed- er \ will know how it is done), uud otumenced to stop, aud if his grooms iad been stationed at the three- juarter pole they could have had him ubbed out aud ready to put .in the ub when he got to the wire. \ Breed- er,\ don't try to raise money makers rom this kind for their day has gone by years ago. An association would have to do ouie great planning to make a race his kind would even look well in. I ell you, \Breeder they wou't do. The sight of a track on a hot day just ends a chill down their back and they are not accountable for their actions after going to the half. It would be .oo b.i 1 in these hard times for the as- ( coitions, after making races for • Breeder's \ kind, to bo at so much lecessary expense, as the. calls would )e so great for the ice wagons that hey couldn't \ery well get along with- out them. Ft is surprising to have a man with the get-up-and-getour friend 'Breeder\ has, advocating such a .hing as closing stakes t© outsiders, hie would think it was of receut date hut they were allowed in your circuit. Liook through your year book, \Breed- er,\—ten years ago they were after the noney just the same as now. With a ew years of racing, such as \ Breed- er \ ^ants, the county would be so ov- er-run with yeller dogs that they would have to put a bounty on thorn. We have a few horses here that we will try to make pay their way thro' your circuit this season Well, \ Breeder,\ hoping we may aee you out with one this fall that carries his tall at half-mast and able to get some of the money, will close, remaining youra, as before, FAIR PL.AY.
