Success of a quality greater than,
the most sanguine had fondly hoped
for has marked the effort o trans
plant Texas-bred and raised stock

rugged Eu3tern Oregon from the
sluggish pasture haul;, of the Sout'i
The trainload of Teras stuff that wus
brought here last fall on ulterior mo
tive of replenishing tlie rapidly dl
m'nishlng source of beef throughput
the I'nitad States, was disposed of to
local buyers under what appeared to
a great many to be dubious prospects,
A half dozen argument against the
feasibility of the scheme were ad
vanced and the result was that only
about 500 head were tfius disposed of
to Union county stockmen.
Benson Brothers of Union bought
300 head and argument burled at
these men Included: that the stock
had come from a state where iee
Ing was extremely easy, where the
stock ate when hungry, and resting
when cravings were satisfied and not
forced to forage diligentyl as here?
that the balmy breezes that blow ov
er Texas had made acclimation to
the rough weather assured in Oregon
mountain pasture, almost Impossible
without great looses financially "
these and other arguments stood In
the way of the free purchase move
ments that . were contemplated, but
now comes the consequences of the
purchases that were made. Wintered
under conditions precisely equal,
feed, range and all. but with Texas
stuff handicapped with emaciation,
from long shipping, the Texas herd
haa taken on 20 per cent more fat,
and the loss from death Is nil. This,
at least, Is the status of the 300-head
herd the Benson brothers bought. The
stock Is better In" every way than
that which was native. The native
and Texas herds- were ranged and
fed together and the buyer, now
readily point to the difference In re
sults. Stockmen In general have been
anxiously awaiting the first year's
experiment with this Texas stock.

Poultry to lie Special Theme Among
Field Workers.
Portland, Ore., Feb. 1. (To the Ed
l!or.. Among the many educatlona
matters discussed by the count i
superintendents during their recen
session at Salem in the capacity o
state board of Examiners, none wa
entered Into with more Interest than
the school children's industrial con
test work. With one or two excep-
Ions each superintendent had Intro
duced the work In hi. county, an
was gratified with the results. In
almost every county where school
fairs were hold last year for the firs
time, exhibits were beyond the ex
pectations of those In charge. Th
discussion was not as to whether the
movement Is a good one, and one to
be continued. All were agreed an
enthusiastic on that) point. It was
simply a matter of discussing meth
odshow to conduct the work to get
the best results. There was a un
animous sentiment favoring a lat
er date for the state fair this year
In order to make It possible to hold
the local contests first, and then send
the best of the exhibit, to Salem.
Some expressed their Intention of
sending their whole Juvenile county
exhibit to tbe state fair, and unless
there Is a mighty aide tracking of
enthusiasm, the fair board will need
to build a roof over one corner of the
state fair grounds to take care of the
children's department.
Many of the superintendent. in
their industrial work th!. year arc

lng that It Is a good thng for every
chid to cave the care of some sort of
an'rual lire and that nothing Is more
profitable nor practical to begin with
than poultry. It Is claimed by some
of the superintendent, that It I. eas

The Ruling Passion.
A young contractor la a Missouri
town fouud himself after the war to
dire fiimucliil straits. . He owned a few
pieces of proerty, all of which were
mortKiiged. the mortgage in eucb In
stance being held by au old inau who
lived wltb his one son. Brocky, lu'a
tumbledown but ' Unit could not be
rented to any one else. In the course
of time the miner forix-kmed. taking
over all the contractor's proierty,
wblcb was valued In excess of the
amounts loaued. 'f lie coutruetor begau
to pay rent on the bouse iu wblcb be
lived. Three months nfTer the fore
closure the miser lay dying An urgent
message reuehed the contractor, and
be. supposiug that the other, knowing
his end to tie near, wanted to muke
what restitution' be could for the good
of bis soul, hurried dowu to the cabin.
He fouud the old umu In a rickety bed,
eovere'l with a tuttered quilt and an
old overcoat. The contractor bent bis
ear boHfully t" the other's lips. The
miser drew a long breath, clutched
the quilt lu a sfciuuy baud and whis

Bull Chasing In London.
. From the time of King Jobu till 1839
Nov. 13 was known as bull running
day in Stamford. A seveuteeutb cen
tury historian gives nn Interesting ac
count of the observance.
"Tbe butchers provide the bull and
place him overnight in a stable belong
ing to tbe alderman. Tbe next morn
ing proclamation Is made by the bell
man that each one shut up his shop
door tiud gate and noue under pain of
imprisonment do any violence to stran
gers; none to have any iron upon their
bull clubs or other staves, wblcb tbey
pursue the bull with. Which procla
mation being made and tbe gates all
shut up, tbe bull Is turned out of the
alderman's bouse, and then blvle sklvy,
tagrag. men. women and children of all
sorts and sizes, with all tbe dogs In tbe
town running after him."
' At tbe close of tbe chase tbe animal
was killed aud Its flesh sold at a nomi
nal rate to tbe burghers. London Spec

Way to Apply For a Job.
Having lost three Jobs for which he
bad applied, after be seemed In a fair
way to get any one of them, a certain
young man has figured out where be
made hie mistake. .
"1 referred to wages and hours be
fore tbe Interview was three minutes
old," he explained.
Ordinarily the business world recog
nizes the right of the applicant to
know how much money be la going to
make each week and how long each
day he will be expected to work and
how many day. a week. Tbl9 la col
lective, recognition.
Tbe thorough business men will not
close an Interview until be bas brought
np the subject of pay and working
hours. He wants It understood, of
course, before be employs any one, but
when tbe applicant makes tbe first
mentlon of It a bad Impression Is cre

Reasonable Objection.
Conan Doyle was once asked wby he
didn't establish a detective agency and
employ Sherlock Holmes' tactics la
conducting tbe business. "For the very
good reason." be replied, "that all the
knots Sherlock Holmes untied were of
my own tying. 1 should fall if I under
took to unravel other people's entangle
ments. I believe that on one occasion
I could have done so, though. I was In
a tailor shop when a rather unattrac
tive man was selecting a pair of trou
sers. He flatly objected to strliied
goods, and I got the. Idea that he was
an ex-convlct. To satisfy myself I vis
ited one or two prisons and, sure
enough, found the man's picture In the
rogues' gallery. He had had enough of
strliied clot lies. Detroit Free Press.
