For me nothing is more interesting than
to see man in the first intense strain of

and startling meanings. He looks upon
all men and oil things in . strange new
light. He judges ell men and all things
with regard to the accomplishment Of his
one, supreme design, During . certain
time the stars in their courses fight for
him; then the very universe changes las
direction. and pushes with all its weight
against his totteriug walls; another change,
and . thousand accidents are in his favor.
He does not know until years afterwards
with what concentration he labored in
those days of beginning. He smiles at
himself. and tells pleasant stories Of his
make. shifts and absorption; and now,
when he sees another and younger person
starting hrs cider mill with the old out

BILL AND THE WIDOW.

A Battle ON the Prairie.
From the Fort Scott Monitor.l

A terrible affair occurred near Dallas,
Texas, on Saturday of last week. About
twenty wagons met on the prairie en- route
for Dallas. They combined into ore train
aud camped together. In the tram was .
young widow, who in her manner was
sociable in the extreme. A man who had
joined the train from some quarter began
paying his devotion to her. which she
rather encouraged. He pushed bis suit
with vigor, and finally made certain ad-
varces which she resented, and informed
one of her admirers of the insult pu,
upon her. He Immediately took up her
cause and called upon the offending party,
who acknowledged the fact. An apology
was demanded and refused, and . fight
determined upon. The male members of
the train divided into three parties. One
favored the ladys cause, another the Of.
Tending party, while the third advocated
peaceful measures and sought to reconcile
matters. Finding this to be impossible,
the peaceful party pulled mp stakes and
left. determined 70 take no hand In the
affair. They had not proceeded far BE-
fore the sound Of pistol shots, in rapid
succession, was heard, accompanied by
shrill screams of women. The battle had
begun. Both Tho remaining parties had
taken up arms In support of their CON-
and fought to the bite: end.
The fight was furious, but after time the
pleadinGs of the women separated the
bat not until three men were
mOrtally wounded and several Others dan.
ously 60. About fifteen men were engaged1
in the affray.

Not . Joke Toward the End.
From tho Chicago Tribune

A granger from Macoupin county step
ped into local telegraphic office at Nil
wood the other day, and asked for th'
Operator. A slim. looking individual, o1
the pin back order, without looking NJ
from his instrument, informed him tha
he was the ''wire.jerker."
"Well," said the granger, s'my name''
Jerry Hogan, and you see-thc fact is
my old woman's had another gal, and
want to dispatch to Aunt Nancy in Zanes
Vile"
"very well, sir" said the operator
''The rate is 80 and 8. Just write youl
message. The look on the granger's fact
was one of bewilderment. 'Well," hi
said, '.you see my larnin' amt"
'Uh, I see. Can't write
''Not exactly that, but Aunt Nancy's
eyes are very we'll. reckon she could
read your hand write better'n mine."
''All right, sir. In that case l will send
it by our ''Duplex, at the same time
handing the granger the end Of wire
'.Now, all you have to do is to wrap this
wire around your hand. and take this in
your mouth" and he handed him the emo
of the ground wire.
The granger wrapped the wire several
times around his hand, and leaning ovel
the .able. took the ground wire IN hi.
mouth, when-bif. One hundred and
fifty cups of Calland's battery wen'
through him like hot grease through
gridiron. And in just twenty-eight sec
onds by the dial Mr.. Hogan was monarch
of oil he surveyed.
Now that granger had been . granger,
and had built hog-pens and planted corn
all his lie. And when he bought boots
he always got the worth of his money,
while the operator was IN operator BY
