about good dairy cattle, as it was at all 
times a cosmopolitan crowd. Yet no 
one tired of the varying spectacles, and 
when the owners of the hundred calves 
trooped 'into the ring and gathered 
closely around Professor W. W. Yapp 
of Urbana, Ill., to watch the placing of 
their treasures, one of the most keenly 
interested events of the week occurred. 
The antics of the calves, the quaintness 
of the young owners, some of whom 
were too little to hold their capering 
charges with ease, kept the observers 
in their seats for hours.

A Wise Old Trapper 
In the state of Ohio there lived a bunch of boys 
who had this trapping business down to a science. 
They each sent for separate price lists every year 
and then sent all their furs to the house giving the 
best quotations. After five years they decided 
they weren’t so dreadfully wise because they 
didn’t have enough profits to make their efforts 
worth while. 
One day they met Tom McMillan driving a new 
car to town. Tom said he made the price of his 
swell outfit shipping pelts. He told how he got 
wise to those funny prices and found it was better 
to deal with Chas. Porter because he always knew 
in advance just what he was sure of getting. He 
said that Porter never offered $5 for a $3 pelt but 
he always paid the $3 which he promised and some¬ 
times just a little better. Chas. Porter now has five 
wise trappers in that section instead of one.
