FOR THE PEOPLE.
Mrs. IlifT’s Stock Range.
Among the passengers on the steam
ship City of Berlin, which sails to-day
foy London, is Mrs. Elizabeth lliff,
widow of the late IT W. Uiff, who
owned the largest cattle range in the
United States, Irnown as the IlifT
Range, in Colorado. Mr. lliff died
three years ago, and his estate was
valued at $1,000,000. lie was born
in Zanesville, Ohio, and was one of the
pioneers in cattle raising in Colorado,
lie began about seventeen years ago,
on small capital, and, by constant ac
cessions of land, finally owned a tract
one hundred miles wide, extending
from Greeley, Col., to Julesburg, on
the Union Pacific Railroad. A branch
of the Union Pacific is built through
the range, specially for its accommoda
tion.
The range is divided into thirteen
ranches, the chief of which are River
side, Pawnee, Crow Creek, Little Crow,
lliff, Chalk Bluff, Julesburg, Paterson,
and Wild Cat. At each ranch are
quarters for a portion of the forty-six
men who take care of the entire range,
and corraU where the stock is gathered
to be branded, and where the horses
are kept in winter. The Union Pa
cific road takes out SIB,OOO worth of
supplies ever)'- year, and brings away
from 12.000 to 14,000 head of cattle
every season, valued at S2O per head.
At the time of the death of Mr. lliff
he had 40,000 head of cattle on the
range. The average number of calves
was 4,500 a year. The herds require
no care, but graze their own food the
year round. When the weather is in
clement they seek shelter in Chalk
Bluffs, or some of the woody retreats.
Generally the grass is sufficient the
year round, and it is the best for food
when dried. Water is plentifully
supplied by Platte River, the Crow and
Little Crow. In severe winters, like
the last, many cattle die, but the
average loss is less than 7J per cent.
Mr.-lliff took pains to improve the
breed of his stock, and his brand, which
consisted of a monogram of his initials,
was well known in Europe, whence a
great deal of his stock, consisting of
Ilerefords, Utahs, and short horns,
was shipped. During the seventeen
years of his ownership of this range,
Mr. lliff shipped over 200,000 head of
cattle to the East. Some of these were
sent to New York and Philadelphia
as an experiment, but the market
finally settled in Chicago, 700 miles
distant.
In the month of May what is called
“ rounding up’’ begins. The cattle
having been allowed to roam at will
throughout the countr}' are herded and
sorted according to their brands.
Sometimes as many as 300 men are
engaged in a round up. They sur
round a certain traGt and drive the
cattle to the centre until the sorting
is complete, and the calves are brand
ed with the names of the owners of the
mothers. Disputes seldom occur
among the cattle men as to ownership.
If by chance a dealer finds a strange
brand in his herd he keeps an account
of it and makes return of the proceeds
to the owner. Sometimes, indeed
often, the first intimation the owner
would have of the sale of his stock
would be the reception of the proceeds.
The Union Pacific Railroad supplies
special cars for the shipment of cattle.
The trip of 700 miles to Chicago
occupies four days, during which the
cattle are corralled, fed, and watered
twice, so as to get them to market in
good condition. The skipping begins
in September and ends only when
stopped by cold weather. On this vast
range there is not enough vegetable
food raised for the men and horses
employed. A few potatoes are culti
vated, but most of the grain and other
food come from elsewhere.
At first Mr. IliflT was somewhat
troubled by Indians of the Ute.
Cheyenne, and Pawnee tribes, who
occasionally ran off his stock. Lat
terly, however, there has been little
trouble from this cause. Much of the
land in the vicinity has been taken up
for agricultural purposes and the Iliff
range, which originally cost only alxut
$2.50 per acre, is worth much more
afler making its owner a millionaire.
Some idea of the immense profits of
the business may be gathered from the
fact that it costs only alx>ut cents
per head to care for the cattle a year.
Mr. Iliff was the first to experiment
with sending beef to the East in
refrigerator cars. He lost a good deal
of mouey in the effort and finally gave
it up. lie was a man of strong will,
a keen observer, and good judge of
meu, and much respected in Colorado.
He thought it a poor year when lie did
not ship 12,000 or 14,000 hcadofcattle.
He was one of the severest losers by
the hard winters of 1870. He was a
man of culture and refiued manners,
gentle, yet firm, and it is said that lie
never drank a glassof liquor. Within
a week of his death his widow received
condolence from every county in
Colorado, and tle promise of all needed
aid to settle her affairs. Her husband's
managers, D. and J. W. Snyder, with
her brother, John Fraser of Sterling,
Col., have settled the estate. Mrs.
Iliff chose to dispose of one half of iter
j herd of 25,000 cattle to her husband’s
\ associates, but it is her intention, if
j her son adheres to his present desire
I to follow the occupation of his father.
to keep an interest in the range for
him.
Mrs. Hill has been much annoyed
by a news paragraph styling her •• the
Cattle Queen." Asa matter of fact,
she never visited the range, but lived
with her husband in Cheyenne. Mr.
Ililf did not live at the ranches, but,
with some of his many blooded horses,
often drove to them to give directions.
He was always present at the shipping
season, his knowledge of stock making
his personal superintendence valuable.
Mrs. lliff is a refined lady. She still
dresses plainly in deep mourning for
hjr husband. For the past few days
she has been staying at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel with her three children.
She visits Europe in company with
Bishop Simpson of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Mrs. Lucy E. McCormick, Coving
ton, Ivy., writes : “My constitution
was completely shattered by rheuma
tism. I suffered intensely ; stimulants
only gave me temporary relief. I
tried Brown's Iron Bitters. It has
cured mo completely, and I believe
permanently. After using two bot
ties, I felt better and stronger than
ever I did in all my life before/’

An old Woman’s Advice.
Aunt Rachel, writing to the Cincio*'
nati Enquirer, says : “ When you feef
unwell and think you must take medi
cine, for goodness' sake ‘ got the best.’
If you need a remedy that will make
you regular in your habits, give you r>
good natural appetite, mako your skiiv
clear and smooth, and remove all spots
and blemishes that indicate ill-health ;
it you wish to be free from mental
depression, fretfulncss, peevishness;
wakefulness and other disorders, use
Brown’s Iron Bitters.”
Preserving Autumn Leaves.
Last fa!!, writes a correspondent of
the Ladies FI oval Cabinet , was par
ticularly rich in bright-colored leaves.
I entered into the business of preserv
ing them with great ardor, and have
been well repaid for my trouble. All
winter my room was brilliant with
their gay colors, and they are still as
beautiful as when I broke them from
the trees.
When pressed, leaves of a solid
color do not have as striking an effect
as those witii green or yellow centres
slightly touched with crimson on the
edges. Young maple trees usually
have brighter foliage than those of
maturer growth. Oak leaves, if sought
early, are sometimes found of great
brilliancy, and these are particularly
pretty r because of their graceful form.
Handsomer decorative effects are
produced with boughs or twigs than
with detached leaves. Three or four
graceful branches forfh a very hand
some cornice for lace curtains, and
there is no richer frame for a sombre
old engraving than a few sprays of
many-colorcjd maple leaves, or a clus
ter of graceful oak leaves. The boughs
themselves form a pretty picture if
tastefully grouped and nailed against
a white or delicately tinted wall.
Quite large boughs may bo pressed
between newspapers, two thicknesses
of newspapers between each bough.
The paper mxtst bo changed every day
for about ten days, or tho leaves will
mildew and lose all their brightness.
Some people prefer coarse brown pa
per, as that need be changed only
once in two days.
After the leaves are dry, sprinkle
them with resin, and pass a hot iron
rapidly over them. Be careful not to
have the iron too hot, or the leaves
will shrivel up, Resin gives a slight
but very beautiful gloss to the leaves
and preserves them better than pre
pared varnish, linseed oil, paraflinc,
and ice water.
Almost young Again.
My-mother was afflicted a long time
with Neuralgia and a dull, heavy in
active condition of the whole system ;
headache, nervous prostration, and
was almost helpless. No physicians
or medicines did her any good; Three
months ago she began to use llop Bit
ters, with such good effect that she
seems and feels young again, although
over 70 years old. We think there is
no other medicine fit to use in the
family.” A lady in Providence, R. I.
— Journal.
Most persons who have tried, have
found it very hard to please everybody.
The story of the old man and his son
and the ass has a counterpart in that
told of Sir Roger de Covcrly. that
when a boy he asked a man tlic way
to St. Ann’s lane. For answer he
was called a Popish cur, and asked
who made Ann a saint. The next
man lie met he asked the way to Ann’s
lane, and was called a priekeared cur,
and told that she had been a saint
after he was hanged.
