Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
BY THOMAS P.HONTFOBT.
In the vear 18— I was employ
ed as a herder at Merrill’s ranch,
out in Western Kansas. Ours was
one of the most extensive ranches
in the State, and there was quite a
little army of men and boys in con
nection with it. One of the duties
with which we were charged was
that of keeping the range, which
was government land, free of set
tlers.
“When you see a covered wag
on,” said our manager, “keep your
eyes on it, and take care that it
don't stop on grazing lands.”
“But suppose,” mentioned one,
“the owner of a wagon should re
fuse to move on. Then what-are
we to do?”
“I guess there’s enough of us
here,’, replied the manager, “to
see that he does move.' If any man
should be foolhardy enough to
squat here after being notified not
to do so, it will be our business to
rout him out. We’ll kill his horses,
burn his wagon, and, if he’s very
obstreperous, we’ll hang him a lit
tle. Our instructions from Mr.
Merrill are to keep this range clear
of settlers, and we’ve got to do it
or else lose our jobs.”
I did not look with favor on this
arrangement, and neither did the
majority of the herders. Oar sym
pathies were with the poor home-
seekers, and we knew that both
the law and justice gave them the
right to own the land of which our
range was composed. However, we
said nothing at the time, but con
tinued about our duties.
During-the next month several
wagons drove across our range, but
none of them baited within our
limits. Then one day, late in the
afternoon, there came an old can
vas-covered wagon, dilapidated to
the last degree, drawn by a span of
poor, bony horses that could
scarcely more than creep. I saw
the poor outfit crawling along the
edge of the timber and I watched
it until I saw it halt at a point less
than a fourth of a mile from the
ranch. I saw a man come out of
the wagon, and after looking about
for a minute or so, proceed to un
hitch lira team and turn them, out
to giaze. I felt it my duty to warn
him to move on, so I rode down to
the wagon for that purpose. The
man was a tall; thin, sickly-looking
person, whose surroundings * pro
claimed him a victim of extreme
poverty. I was touched by his ap
pearance, and as gently as I could,
I informed him of the necessity of
immediately vacating the spot. As
I spoke his pale, sharp features
lighted up with the fire of indigna
tion, and in reply he said:
“I’ve made my last move, unless
I’m driven by force. I’ve been
run about from place to place by
the cattlemen till I’ve got nothing
left, and I’m tired of it. This land
is open for settlement and I haye
a right to a claim here, and I pro
pose to have it.”
“But you can’t hold it,” I reason
ed. “They’ll burn your wagon and
kill your horses.”
“Just let them try it,” he re
plied, laying his hand on a pistol
which hung at his side. “I’ve got
this left, and I’m desperate enough
to use it. Some of them wouldn’t
burn any more wagons.”
I reasoned with the man as best
I could, but he refused to move on,
and at last I turned away from him
hoping that his presence might not
be noticed that evening by any of
oar people, and that by the follow
ing morning he might see the wis
dom of moving on.
I had gone only a short distance
when I met a little boy running
across the prairie, and as he stop
ped to admire my gaudy “cowboy”
attire and trappings, I spoke to
him and asked his name.
“I’m Johnnie Merrill,” he an
swered. “Me’n my pa just came
down here to look at the cattle, an’
I’m going down here to that wag
on. My pa he owns this ranch,
you know, an’ he let me come down
here with him this time.”
I had not gone far, after leaving
the boy, when I met a man canter
ing along on horseback, and as be
was a stranger and well dressed, I
rightly judged that he was Mr.
Merrill. Just as we met he hap
pened to notice the old wagon, and
reigning in his horse, he said:
“What is that over there by the
timber?”
“A home-seeker,” I replied.
“Oh, a squatter, eh? Well, go
over and tell him to move on.”
“i've already warned him,” I
answered.
“Is hq going away, then?”
I don’t know. He is very poor, wreck of all his possessions, he
and is very sick; bat I think he’ll groaned and a dimness came to
go to-morrow.”; I his eyes.
Mr. Merrill saw at once that I “Itfsall right, my friend,” said
was attempting to screen the man,
and with a flash of anger he said:
“You go down and tell the boys
that I said that squatter mast not
be there at sundown. Do yon un
derstand me?”
“I do,” I said, es I tamed away.
I rode leisurely down in the di
rection of the herd and I found the
boys working the cattle back to
ward the ranch.
“There’s goin’ to be a storm,”
old Ike Sampson announced as I
rode up. “These blamed cattle air
the most restless an’ oneasy crit
ters I ever see, an’ that’s a shore
sign somethin’ is brewin’ in the
air. For a cent the whole pack of
’em ’ud go on a stampede
I informed old Ike, who was the
leader among the “boys,” of what
Merrill had said, and the whole
force gathered around to listen,
also told of my interview with the
squatter. Old Ike scratched his
head for a moment, then slowly
said:
“Wal, here’s a nice mess, shore.
I’m agin runnin’ them settles off
in any sech way, bat I reckon we’ll
haft to do it. Orders is orders, an’
we’ve got to obey or else hunt an
other job.”
“That’s a fact,” replied Jabe
Morgan. “The feller has got to
go, or else we’ve got to go. :
“Yep,” agreed Ike. “That’s the
size au’ shape of it. But, by gum,
it mayn’t be no easy matter to trot
that chap off. He ’pears sorter
game, an’ like enough he’ll pump
some of us full of lead.”
The “boys” were still discussing
the matter, when before we were
hardly aware of it the whole herd
broke into a stampede and went
crashing away, hugging close to
the timber and making the very
earth tremble beneath their feet.
Directly toward the squatter’s wag
on they went, and it waB a sight to
sicken one when he looked upon
that vast sea of cattle and realized
how irresistible was the mad rush»
and how defenseless was anyone
who stood in the way. I knew that
the old wagon and its contents
would be litterally blotted out of
existence, and I knew no means of •
escape for the poor squatter.
Merrill saw the stampede and
came riding down toward us, but
all at once he stopped as if footed
td 'the ground. He was near' me,
and I saw a deathly whiteness
come to his face while he stared
fixedly in the direction of the wag
on. f looked, too, and at a glance I
comprehended it all. Merrill’s lit
tle boy had evidently started away
from the wagon, and having, gone
a dozen yards or so, had stopped
directly in the track of the cattle.
He stood gazing at the advancing
herd, making no effort to escape,
and it seemed inevitable that he
must be trampled to death in an
other minute.
To attempt the child’s rescue
was useless, for we were near a half
mile away from him while the cat
tle were but a few yards, and long
before we could have reached him
the mad herd would have swept
by.
“My God, men,” Merrill cried,
“can’t something be done to save
my child? It’s awful, awful!”
On and on swept the herd. Less
than twenty steps lay between the
child and destruction. We held
our breath and waited in terrible
suspense. Merrill covered his eyes
and groaned in the deepest an
guish. A moment passed. Then
a murmur of applause ran through
out our circle—a murmur scarcely
more than a whisper. Another
moment of suspense, then a shout,
long, loud, and hearty. The child
was safe.
The squatter had come around
the wagon, and at the risk of his
own life had saved the child. He
rushed forward and snatched the
boy from under the feet of the cat
tle, and running back a . few steps
had taken shelter behind a tree, 1
pushing the boy up among the
boughs beyond danger.
Another mi nute and the herd
had passed, and we were on the
spot. The child was unhurt, but
•the squatter tvas less fortunate.
He was bruised aud torn by the
horns and hoofs of the cattle that
passed near him. The tree was
small and afforded him brit partial
protection, and once or twice he
was knocked down. His intones, f
Merrill, laying his hand gently on
the man’s shoulder; “you shall
lose nothing. Yon shall have a
claim here and I will make up to
you ten times over all you have
lost. You shall maxe my ranch
yonr home.”
Merrill kept his promises, and
aftor the squatter had selected a
claim he helped him to build a
house and furnish it, and besides
loaned him money to send back
east to pay passage for his wife
andchildren.
The employes of the ranch made
up a purse to present the squatter,
auij when the donations were all to
it was found we had the neat little
sum of §130. “Enough,” as old
Ike said, “to sorter bridge over to
case o’ sickness or somethin’.” Old
Ike put the money in a purse, and
labeled it with a card on which he
had scrawled with a pencil these
words:
“A present from the cowpunch-
ers of Merrill’s ranch to the man
who,* though a squatter, is a better
man than any of us.”
The purse was duly presented to
the squatter, with a presentation
speeeh from Ike which was as
unique as appropriate.
Every man on the ranch received
strict orders from Merrill not to
mqlest or interfere in any way
with any homeseeker who' happen
ed to strike our part of the conn
try, and we never did from that
day.—[Detroit Free Press.
How a Millionaire Earned $200,000.
St. Loois Star-Sayiuea.
In business matters the late W.
Li Scoot, the Pennsylvania million
aire, was quick in his conclusions,
sound in j udgment, and inexhaust
ible to resources. The public re
members yet the sale by William
H. Wander bilt of $20,000,000 worth
of stock to the New York Central
at 120. That sale was made by
William L. Scott.
Vanderbilt, harassed and wor
ried in th8 management of the
property, vexed by public criti
cism, and uncertain about his
health, expressed in the presence
of Scott a wish to be rid of the
property.
“You are not in earnest,” said
Scott.
“I was never more earnest in my
life,” was the reply.
“Why not sell then!” the Penn
sylvanian asked.
“Sell it!” exclaimed Vanderbilt;
“where can I find a purchaser for
$20,000,000 of the stock?”
“I can find such a purchaser,”
said Scott, “at a fair commission.”
“Do it,” was the response, “and
I will pay you half a million dol
lars.”
In a few days Scott had organ
ized a syndicate among the bank
ers of New York to purchase the
Vanderbilt stock at 120, and with
out difficulty the transaction was
concluded.
Then came Mr. Scott’s demand
for his commission of $500,000.
Vanderbilt demurred; half a mill
ion dollars was a big sum of money
for such work Mr. Scott insisted
that it was a bargain made openly
and seriously and carried to a con
clusion. Still Vanderbilt objected
that it was too:big a commission.
“What was it worth?” asked Mr.
Scott
“Oh,” said Mr. Vanderbilt,
“$2d0,000.”
“Very well, then, let me have
the $200,000,” said the gentleman
from Pennsylvania. Had Mr.
Scott insisted there is little donbt
the half million would have been
forthcoming. As it was, the com
mission was as easily earned as
any money Mr. Scott ever made.

Savannah Xew*.
CoL Polk; president of the Na
tional Farmers’ Alliance, says that
he-is a democrat, though whenever
a favorable opportunity presents
itself he does not hesitate to tell
the alliance democrats to act inde
pendently and vote with the Peo
ple’s party if the democratic party
does not shape the .party platform
to suit them. In an interview to
Washington the other day he said
that it looked very much. aB if Mr.
Cleveland would be the Dext demo
cratic nominee for president. He
declared that if he should be nom
inated he would “deem it his sol
emn duty to take the stump.against
him in North Carolina.” Col. Polk
predicted that Mr. Cleveland, if
nominated, would not carry North
Carolina, and would iiot, in all
probability, be successful in more
than three southern states.
Col. Polk differs with Mr. Cleve
land on the silver question, and he
would rather have the democratic
. ; southern Cultivator.
The transition from “hominy” to
“hog” is easy, but the same argu
ments are not applicable. We
mean to say that cheap transporta
tion's not a sufficient excuse for
abandoning all efforts to “raise our
own bacon.” While there may be
but few farmers who ought to grow
wheat, there are but few farmers
who can be excused for not raising
hogs. They are so easily managed,
so cheaply fed, so generally ex
empt from fatal diseases, and with
al so profitable, that we would
rather—as an indivibnal—give np
producing corn than raising hogs.
What is true of hogs is still more
strictly and generally true of milk,
butter, beef and-mutton, chickens,
eggs. The trouble is our inclina
tions are too strongly in favor of
cotton. “Cotton is King” should
read “Cotton is Master,” and the
cotton planters are his slaves. It
is the slavish devotion to cotton as
the sole resort for a money income
party beaten than support a man jj a3 impoverished so many
who is opposed to the free coinage
of silver.
Senator Vest is a democrat.
There is no donbt about his dem
ocracy. Aud he is as strongly in fa
vor of the free coinage of silver as
Col. Polk. In an interview in St.
Louis one day last week, in answer
to the question, “How about the
democratic ticket?” he said: “It
will be Cleveland and Boies, or
Cleveland and Gray, but always
Cleveland. I anticipate yonr next
question and will ans wer it now.
Yon want to know how silver dem
ocrats like myself will stand as to
his candidacy. We will support
him earnestly and loyally, for we
believe him to be wrong, but hon
estly wrong, and he has as much
right to his opinion as we have to
ours. The views of any democrat
as to free coinage constitute no
test of party fealty, for our party
to national convention has never so
declared. Above all, however, and
this is with me conclusive, Mr.
Cleveland can be elected on the is
sue of tariff reform, and I regard
the defeat of the republican party
at the next election as the greatest
possible good for the country. Ev
ery democrat should be willing to
postpone the silver question, if it
be necessary, to prevent republi
can success. We can take up the
question of free coinage hereafter,
if power can be wrested from the
republicans, but if that party wins
again, the force bill will be enacted
into law, and free popular elec
tions will never again be held in
this country.”
It is a matter of no consequence
to Col. Polk, apparently, whether
the democrats are victorious in the
next national contest or not. He
knows very well that no democrat
could be elected on a free silver
coinage platform, and yet he would
oppose Mr. Cleveland because the
latter does not favor the free coin
age of silver. Clearly Col. Polk is
not a very earnest democrat, nor a
very practical sort of a man. Does
he hope to get free coinage of sil
ver through the defeat of the dem
ocratic party? Of course not, be
cause the republican party is
pledged against it.
Perhaps Col. Polk thinks the
People’s party will have a presi
dential ticket in the fileld next
year, and he is getting ready to
give it his support He ought to
study the election returns in Ohio
and Kansas. Iu those states the
People’s party is disintegrating,
and from present indications will
not be heard of in the presidential
contest. Col. Polk should change
his opinion with respect to Mr.
Cleveland if he wants to be recog
nized as a sound democrat.
southern farmers, and bound them
to debtors’ chains. Think for a
moment of the cheap and fertile
soil, the mild and equitable cli
mate, the great variety of the for
age and fattening crops of the
south—cowpeas, sweet potatoes,
chufas, peanuts—not one of which
can be produced in the north and
northwest—to say nothing of Ber
muda grass, crab grass, corn, oats,
rye, clover,_ collards, sorghum, etc.,
which we can produce just as well
as they can be produced anywhere.
Why talk about limiting the area
devoted to cotton by co-operative
effort, or resolutions, or what not?
What do the farmers do with the
most of the money they get for
their cotton, after paying for the
labor that produces it? Why,they
buy bacon, lard, canned beef,
canned milk (they do without but
ter), a good deal of corn or corn
meal, tons of hay, seed oats and
rye, syrup, flour, mules and horses,
etc., nearly all of which they may
and ought to produce at home.
What if every farmer would pro
duce all these things at home, and
then add fruits and vegetables, all
in quantities sufficient to supply
the country, including the towns?
He would find that he could make
cotton at eight cents a pound, if
necessary. But it would not be
necessary; for this back revolution
of methods would so reduce .the
area in cotton, and the total pro
duction would be so much dimin
ished, that the price would go at
once to ten or twelve cents.
But we were talking of hogs,
and, generally, what is true about
bacon is true of all the home prod
ucts. We have gone astray from
the good old paths. In some things
we have done well, to others we
have acted unwisely, and in none
more unwisely than in giving np
the breeding of hogs, horses and
mules, cows, sheep and poultry.
Let us resolve to seek again these
old paths—to get back into the
prudent ways of-our fathers and
grandfathers—avoiding their mis
takes, bat re-affirming and re
adopting their wisdom.
OCCUPATIONS.
W. J. Xorthen in Southern Cultivator.
If a man would eat, he must
work. Not many men o£ active
thought and good habite prefer
idleness to enterprise, Every good
citizen, removed'beyond the neces
sity for personal effort, still de
sires the public good in the use of
his endeavors for general advance
ment and enterprise. In thia free
America there is such a.ibing as
the dignity of labor.
In a state founded upon the
monarchial idea, there is necessa
rily an aristocracy of class that
degrades labor of any and all
kinds. -At the pinnacle in snch
society stand those who are not on
ly exempt from labor, but who de
spise it Such people who not on
ly do not lend a helping Tmnr? to
labor, but such as oppress it
With these the labor of a physi
cian, a lawyer, a teacher, a me
chanic or a tradesman, puts the
man outside the pale of recogni
tion. Under the American idea,
labor is not only respectable, but
honorable, and the man who bears
censure with us is not the man of
work, but the man without work.
While this is true, there is with
us a degree of caste that makes
undue and unpleasant distinctions
in occupations. Every man, what
ever his social status, grossly in
sults labor every time he declines
to recognize it A simple differ
ence in occupation does not mnl-n
necessary a difference in men. The
physician labors for his advance
ment and the maintenance of his
family. So does the artisan and
the mechanic. The one occupa**
tion is just as honorable as the
other. The lawyer expends his
efforts by day and by night to
serve the ends of his engagements.
So does the farmer and the peda
gogue-all engaged in useful, hon
orable employment for personal
maintenance and the public good.
The labor to one instance is just
as honorable as that in the other,
and the laborer in each is entitled
to exactly the same respect and
recognition.
"Whilst this is the theory of onr
society, it is not practically true.
Men are unfortunately not so much
known by themselves as by the oc
cupations they follow. Into onr
free institutions there has crept
that foreign idea that makes man a
gentleman because of his money
and his place, and not because of
his personal worth and his enter
prise.
The choice of occupation is of
tentimes made, therefore, more
from public opinion than from fit
ness or talent The boy who would
make a good mechanic or artisan
looks more to the respectability, as
he understands it, of the profes
sions, than his fitness for work,and
he spoils a good mechanic, and
makes a third-rate lawyer.
