Next fasten a chain to the off reach just ‘ forward of the rear bunk. Throw it over and fasten in precisely the same manner.

We have knOWn a number 01 co-operative enterprises to succeec through good business management and still a. larger number to fail for lack of such management, or, rather, the lack of a plan which would hold the members together until success could be assurâ€" ed. Coâ€"operation is successful only when it pays and when those who unite for the puspose of coâ€"operation can see that it does pay. Therefore ‘ some direct and forcible appeal to the Hinancigl ipterests of its members imust be the. basis of it‘s'suc'cess.‘ A_r Aan :uuau Ilv v~-v An example of successful co«-0peraâ€" tion has recently come before the public which is based on this princi- ple.

Their first atâ€" tempt Was to run a grain elevator. which they built, in competition With other elevators 0f the locality. This Was an old plan and one which has failed perhaps oftener than other coâ€" operating undertaking in the West. But these farmers adopted a new principle. They decided to pay for ‘gruin just what the Chicago quota- ‘tioxzs would justify and to pay to members of the association (nu-â€" fourth of a cent a. bushel more than to non-members.

In the event of other elevators ofl’ering more for grain than the coâ€"opi'rative elevator could afford to pay on Chicago quotations the members Were to sell at coin- peting elevators and to pay to their own association the oneâ€"forth of a cent per bushel.

In the days antedating railroads in northern Iowa, the days of saloons and circuit courts, a certain ponderous judge was for many years accompanied on his rounds by District Attorney Wood, pop- ularly known as Old Timber Wood. He had been christened Timothy, the name was curtailed to Tim and by easy evolu- tion developed intoi’l‘imbcr. - n 'Av.‘ .â€" . Old Timber “food was a unique and in- teresting character; rough but dignified, or sound intellect, gifted with a keen sense of humor and far surpassing in mental acumen his professional superior, whom, however, he usually treated be- fore the world with an almost ostenta~ tious deference. They were the warmest of friends, the feeling between them was romantically tender, notwithstanding that they had frequent and violent public fall- ings out. Duoâ€"r v .â€"-- The judge, who was entirely lacking in personal dignity, really needed the sup- port of his friend’s deferential attitude to keep him in countenance, and when it was temporarily removed, Old Timber Wood’s love of satire occasionally be- traying him into sacrilege known as “con- tempt of court,” he was stung to fury and promptly punished the offense. Many 1H) i On one occasion, very shortly after a l skirmish with the attorney, in which he lhad finally avenged his insulted dignity gin the usual way, he abruptly called l Wood to the bench and started down the = aisle. W'ood hastily slipped into his place and before he had reached the door rapped sharply on the desk and called out, “Gentlemen, before proceeding fur- ther with the case the court wishes to instruct the clerk to remit the fine lately imposed upon Attorney \Vood.” The judge halted, wheeled about with a very red face and opened his lips to protest. but the bar and the jury drownâ€" ed him out with a chorus of laughter.â€" Harper’s Magazine. .. .. fl--..u__...._.â€"-w‘. -.._-V.__ __ rm 3. fine had the attorney been subjected to for his incautious witticisms. Being in a. constant state of impecuniosity, he inva- riably applied to the judge himself for money to pay these assessments, a favor which was never refused, the fact that he must humble himself to ask it sufficiently restoring his honor’s complacency. The judge was of a thirsty habit and fre- quently left the bench, substituting Wood in his place as an old time schoolmaster substituted one of the larger boys when he wished to absent himself from the room, and stepped out to refresh himself at a neighboring saloon. Keeps Ferrets to Clear Out the Rat- ‘Vhen They Annoy Guests. “Recently I had an experience with rats that 1 will not mun forget," said D. B. Purks of Frederidgsburg, Va. “It happened in this way: I was travel- ing through Alabama and landed in a small town worn out after a day’s over- land travel in a broken down buggy and sought the only tavern the town boasted. After I had been in bed about 15 minutes I was startéed to hear strange and curiâ€" ous noises, the most unnatural in sound I had ever heard. I immediately proceeded to investigate the cause of this midnight disturbance and lit the candle, the only illuminant procurablc, and to my surprise beheld ten of the largest rats, in my opin- ion, ever seen. They ranged in size from Lu “LI‘l‘lU u.»-. V room in droves to the number of about 150. all sizes and Conditions. large and small. lean and fat. all squeaking and ap- parently frightened. I thought some- thing unusual must have transpired. when my suspicions were confirmed by the arrival of several ferrets whose eyes sparkled with glee at the slaughter they proceeded to institute. 1 _._.Ala nifnv- f‘nn pLULCLuuu \v . “As soon as I collected myself after the execution I hastened out of the room and made myself as comfortable as possible in a chair, waiting for day to break. that I could shake the town. Although I made my escape in carpet slippers, it was one of the happiest incidents of my life. The landlord evidently thought nothing of the occurrence. He said it happened very often. and he always kept a supply of ferrets to clean the rats out when they became unmanaveable and too annoying to his guests." How the Dlmculty Was Solved. “Let me pay youl fare," the first gix said. «1 AL- -A.‘ 0nd. £0 There is no telling what mlgnt nuve happened had not an old meddler who was seated opposite leaned over and said: -- “ AA I-._A Batu 0 “Hold on, young ladies.

Do you see?" “Oh, how nicef" they both exclaimed. and when the conductor came round they did what the old mmldler suggested. Both then sat pleased and maguanimous look- ing until the end of the ride.

That is an invariable rule or the road. It is as much a rule on the river as it is in driving. A man is out in a light rig and has before him .';ir as he can see a smooth, wide, unobst.x.cted dirt lslpeedVifiyi He ins a good, fresh, spirited orse a wan s to go and need to hold back. S muscle Another outfit, under precisely the same condlthDS, comes up alongside and tries to WhlSk by. The man is not living who will keep his pull on the lines and let the other outfit throw the dust in his face. He will give his horse its head, and there will be a race. Neither driver will have started out with the intention of racing. He may have made up his mind to eat du‘st sooner than race, but let the other rig whisk by and he’s after it “hotfoot,” as the saying It is the same way in steamboating. No pilot likes to take the wash and bro- ken vvuter of another boat, especiany it the other boat is slower or more heavily loaded. It is in the human blood, and no amount of danger from cvertaxed boilers, nar- rowness of channel, sand bars, shoals or snags will deter the fast boat from show- ing its heels to the slower boat. I have seen passengers in the olden time, when everybody knew a good deal about the river and its dangers, come up to the captain of the boat they had taken passage on and say to him solicitously: “Now, captain, I want you to assure me of one thing, that you are not going to race. I’ve got my wife and children on board, and I don’t want to expose them to needless danger.” "Of course we won’t race,” the captain would answer, and he would mean it when he said it. In a little while along would come a slow, heavily loaded scow of a boat and try to pass us. The captain would get 2.211537 and so would the pilot, the engineer and the firemen. And as the competing boat would shade (.()\VD to a small speck on the rear hori- mm the passenger who was so anxious to e‘ep his family out of needless danger \\ onld come up from b(10\\. wiping a pair 01‘ biuised and dirty hands and, inflating his chest pioudly, say to the captain. “She never touched us.” Tl‘im_tnpassonger had been down on the boiler deck during the race passing cord~ wood to the stokers to put under the boil- 01's.
