Puts Job In Second Place. A Humboldt rancher returned from a year's trip through the east to find that a one-time neighbor of his, a man noted for his perfect patience, had been having a siege of bad luck. Upon hearing the news he immediately immediate-ly sought out the neighbor to condole with him. "Well, John," he said, after greetings greet-ings had been exchanged. "I hear you lost all of your timber through the forest fires." The other man nodded. "And they say that the river cut off your best bottom land; that your hogs all died of cholera; that your wife and children had been sick, and that they have now foreclosed the mortgage on your other place. John nodded again. "Yes, it's all true," he said, looking about him at what had once been his prosperous farm, "all true. Why, sometimes I get almost discourged." Ladies' Home Journal.
