Goat a Friend of Man.
The problem of clearing off cut-over
land In Northern Wisconsin has been
greatly simplified by the Introduction
of Angora goata. The Angora goata
do not pull up stumps nor cut down
standing timber, but they clear off
brush and young trees. James B. Car
roll, of Alma Center, aaya that tbey
bave enabled him to clear his land
and keep It cleared at a cost of only
five dollars an acre. eH puts them
into a five-acre lot. and leta them stay
In It till the entire piece la clean.
They will girdle and kill young trees
four and five Inchea In diameter, and
they like brush better than grass.
Their wool Is valuable, and they are
sure breeders, though they do not
multiply as fast as sheep.
For lo these many years the goat
has been a favorite butt of the comic
cartoonist, who haB shaken wftb
laughter while depicting him In the
act of chewing up a tin can or devour
ing the family wash as It hung pn tbe
line. The goat may have done, these
things when be was forced by man
to live In the environs of populous
cities. The gnat loves freedom. His
natural home is on tbe edge of the
wilderness. Evidently It pays to put
bim where he belongs.
Fisherman's Shrewd Trick,
"I bad great luck fishing In Cali

man, aa be scraped wltb his penknife

very clear where I did my fishing, and
by tbe advice of a Dutch uncle, I low
ered by a cord over the aide of tbe
boat a well corked bottle half filled
with grasshoppers, worms and wa
ter. There were a dozen boats fish
ing on all sides, but none of them bad
my luck. I landed three fish to tbelr
one. You see, those tempting Insects,
struggling In tbe transparent glass,
were visible a long way In tbe clear
water. Tbey excited tbe Ashes' hun

They are beginning to ahow thatr

Mrs. Rutledge came hurriedly down
llio broad st.ilr-;or firr; rlcMyaproln'
ed home, drew aside the heavy drap
eries and entered the library where
her son aat busily writing- -He. arm
at her entrance and with a little ges
ture of deference placed a chair for
bor.
"I cannot stay, dear," abe aald re
gretfully. "To Is Is such a busy day.
But here are two' packagea I wish
you would send for me, one by mes
senger to Wellington avenoe, a dia
mond ring for Leonora's birthday,"
and a work box which la to go by
express to Anna."
He took tbe packages from her
and laid them carefully updn ' the
desk. Aa ahe drew on her gloves he
stooped and kissed her tenderly,
"Thoughtful little mother,", he aald.
Aa the door closed behind her a
faint ahadow of annoyance crept Into
his eyes. He glanced from the pack
age to the partly written manuscript
Ith a aomewhat quizzical- anille.
'Capital and Labor," be mused, read
ing tbe heading of the article Intend
ed for the political banquet which be
to attend that evening... "Tbe
commission is not to ffty liking. Were
I the donor of these -Rifts the-Jewel
would beautify the hanq 'of the hard
working little western tachr. in Just
recognition of her honest effort at In-
depent labor, and the workboa- " he
paused and amlled aomewhat ruefully.'
The irony of the situation flashed upon
hljn. He dared not acknowledge to
himself, that, philanthropist though
be was, his heart had bridged the
great gulf wblch lay between hla life ,
and the gay, frivolous existence of
Leonora Huzeltine. She, the acknowU
edged leader of all social life, had
reused for a moment in the whirl, and
smiled. It was tbe memory of this
ir. lle, which against his better judg
ment held her place secure In his
heart. "Tbe workbox," he repeated.
should serve to remind the thought-
ess society girl that usefulness Is a
part of life's great purpose, that with
out its character forming influence no
life can hope to reach its culminating
possibilities." - .
He turned to resume his writing,
but found his pen arrested by a deep-
desire to make the best of the
great forces within himself and he
.at in deep thought for a long while.
At. length be bent again over tbe desk
and. wrote rapidly. An hour passed
tnd be wrote on, and then with a'
deep sigh of satisfaction he laid aside
bis pen, and as he did so the forgot
ten packages met his eye. He glanced
up anxiously at tbe ulock and dis
covered that he had barely time, to
meet bis appointment He addressed
tbe cards hastily and, ranging the bell,
directed Jenkins to send them at
once.
A week later Mrs. Rutledge faced
her aon with a glance of mingled re
proach and gladness She banded
him a letter and watched' hla aa ha
hastily scanned It.
Dear Auntie he began. "You
can never know the pleasure which
your most beautiful gift baa given
me. My busy life has hitherto been
so void of color. The ring be paus
ed and flashed a quick glance of start
led wonder Into bis mother's perplex
ed face. "The ring' ' he" resumed,
"seems to have opened Jt? Vhe vision
of a new world to me? 'The "world of
which I have always dreamed. It
seems, to give me hope and courage.
IU very brilliance and purity widen
ing tbe acope of my' little, narrow
existence.' I pauae sometimes In the
dull routine of my work lo book at It
and It seems to whisper a little mes
aage of encouragement. Your deeply
grateful and loving niece.
; "ANNA."
Rutledge placed the letter slowly In
Ita envelope and atared blankly Into
space. i ' " "
I am wondering how Leonora win
like her work-box," hla mother Inter
posed rather dryly. She bad seconded
his own thought Leonora's attitude
in tbe matter would mean so much to
him far more than his mother could
know. His head was Dent In deep
thought aa he moved '. toward tha
door.
"1 am going to 'her, be said stn
ply.
He could not define Just what Im
pulse it was which caused him to lay
to great a stress upon ber sulfide
n accepting this gift, which seemed
o inappropriate to her mode of living.
A'hat message would It carry to her?
Would It In lta ml Ed I reeled mission,
.ullil his own secret desire and cause
her to pause, and think?
As if in answer to his question sbs
came toward him with a trace ot
tears upon her face and ber hands
lingered in his with a little tremulous
reluctance.
"I am glad that you came," ahe said
-:oftly. "You can tnke a measage to
your mother so mucn Detter man i

times but wordB seem so inadequate

unsteadily. "I have .been such a use

It seemed ttkhiiu tat it would Lt

of Joy be had reached for her band

and If they failed to marry, the money
waa to go to certain charities.
Gilbert was now fulfilling bla fa
ther's promise. - Ever since he had
come to visit his promised fiancee he
had been balked In every way by ber.

Myrtle had not appeared at break
fast and he had gone for a walk by
himself to try and make up his mind
whether to give In now or wait a little
longer. She, too, was off riding by
herself trying to make plans. Either
he must go away or she would. She
had. -dreamed of him all night Why
was he so good lookin? anyway? Why
ouldn't Bhe get him out of ber mind?
The more she snubbed hint the more
pleasantly he smiled. Oh, how she
hated him for lt! Ju3t that morning
she- bad found some beautiful orchids
on her de?k becatwo at dinner the
night befnre she hod F.tld she "vas
fond of them. Her fr.'t thought then
had been to crush the.n, but they
were too beautirul.
She was so engrorrsd in ber
thoughts that she (lid not see Gilbert

dlu't you ask me?"
"Simply because I wented to bs
alone."
"Very well," he said and touched hi
bat.
Myrtle bit ber lip and ur.ronsclous-
ly touched the horse with her spur.
He reared and striking out wildly
caught Gilbert on the shoulder, knock
ing him down. Myrtle thought he had
been struck on the head. The blood
rushed to her brain, her heart leaped
as If It would leave her body. She
slid from her saddle and was beside
him In a moment
"Gilbert, are you hurt? Tell me, oh
speak to mt!"
Her whole frame was trembling
her eyes were wet He sprang to hi
feet and caught her by the- arm..--.
"I'm noi hurt Myrtle)",. ,., , -.:
They were looking into each other's
eyes; - hla breath was coming' fast
painfully; her heart had seemed to
stop beating.
'Myrtle," be said again. . "You
cared I You cared If I were hurt! We
are not not friends, yet you cared!
Myrtle, look at me; I love you."
She drew away from him with S
feeling akin to tear, but that fear was
mingled with a strange Joy. She had
shrunk from his grasp, yet she loosed
for him to take her again.
"Do you hear?" he said. "I lovt
you. My little girl, can t you lovi
me?"
He caught her and drew her towarf
him. Her pride fought hard, but he
heart waa the victor. Hla arms closed
more tighly around her, he bent blx
head and kissed her. But for that
klsa she might have resisted, but It
seemed to take all her strength and
half unconsciously she .whispered "I
lovs you." He crushed ber to him
again. There waa a pause. No sound
reached them but tbe twittering of the
birds overhead.
"You love me," he said, with a catch
In bla voice. "It Is too great to be
lieve," ' '
"It seems so strange, so Impossl
ble," she murmured from bis shoul
der. "Why only last evening we quar
reled. In fact I bave quarreled will:
you ever since you came. 1 don't, set
how you ever could love me after thr
way I have treated you. I thought I
hated you, but it was Just my pride
I had to love you and I know why
You are ao strong, so self-willed, so
much of a man and 1 love a man."
So they sat in the silence of their
great happiness, until he whispered
to ber: "Dtrling what clever n.ei:
