Advice to Young Men.

Ny son if you read the family papers and
the Ledger stories and the good books of the
Sunday school library, YOU will read solid
column upon solid column Of advice TO young
| men from the country. warning them against
the evil allurements, the painted temptations
and the appalling wickedness Of the city.
| Telemachus look me in the eve. Don't
YOU stake your little stipend on the calm
statement that the young man from the
country doesn't bring his little modicum of
rustic wiokedness along with him just to
help the general effect. He may be a little
! innocent, | grant YOU that but innocence.
my boy. is not always or necessarily virtue.
1t is true that the young man from the coun-
try is plucked by the three card monte man
OF the city. But he wouldn't be plucked if
he didn't play monte. II is true that the
police have TO go with him to the bunko den
to get his money back. but what was he do
ing in the hunko den that he should lose his
money IL is true that beauty of the dev-
ihsh type plays it on him pitilessly with the
panel game, but also, he should not have
gone to the strange lady's room to help her
carry her valise to the train. tell YOU,
Telemachus, the young man from the coun-
try may lack the refinement of his city cous
ms wickedneSs. but he does not have to
come to the great city to learn to be bad
lie may not smoke cigars at the quiet home,
but he sucks cob-pipc and ''chaws tobac-
ker" instead of chewing fine cut He does
not sit up all night swilling beer, nor does
he love his cock tail in the morning. but af-
ter he has taken two Or three pulls at three

light that you'll mean he, has to put a

He will swear in the passenger car when his
city cousin will not in the street. Mind you,
my son, he is no worse than his city cousin,
but on the other hand, do not think he is
very much better. think he can learn
some wickedness OF his city friend, and then
| think, also he can teach him a little.
don't think he is improved morally by his
metropolitan associations. but at the same
time he doesn't learn all his badness of them.

The INDIFFERENCE of AFfLCENCE-It
was when Leadyille was first showing what
there was in her. There were several newly
made bonanza kings about Denver then,
and among them was man who had prob
ably never had $50 in his pocket at one
time previous TO his strike. To him the
possession of watch was the natural evi-
dence of the possession Of a competence,
and as he had more than a competence, he
felt that the fact should be indicated BY the
purchase of several watches These he had
deposited in the Grand Central Hotel safe
One night he came into the office very much
the worse for liquor, lurched up to the desk
and hiccoughed out to the clerk: Gimme
a watch!" A time-pece was passed to his
unsteady hands, but, in endeavoring to
thrust it into his trousers pocket, he let it
slip and fall upon the floor. Without cast
ing glance at the fallen watch he lurched
to the counter again, reached out his shak-.
ing hand, mustered all his faculties to the
task of speaking, and then blurted out ::
Gimme 'nuther,"

NEW MILITARY POSTS.

Fort AssiniboiDe TO bc Completed and a
New Post u, be Erected on the Mussell
Shell River. ..e
The st. Paul Pioneer-Press Of the LIST
inst. has the following in regard to fort
building in the e'upper Missouri country:
Congress at it's last session, ,appropri-
ated 100000 for the completion of Fort
Assinniboine, the construction of which
was commenced last year by Col. Lee,
and the same sum for the erection of a
a new military post on the Muscle Shell
river. These appropriations were made
about the last day Of the session, June
16, leaving very little time for the prose-
cution of the work. We learn, how
ever, that Gen. Terry has been instruct
ed to push the construction Of these
forts with all possible haste, and that he
is taking his measures accordingly.
Fort Assinniboine is to'receive the first
attention. The.men and materials for
it's completion will leave here not later
than the Goth of July. It is intended to
complete that post some time in Octo-
ber. Six companies Of infantry and two
OF cavalry are stationed there, and they
are greatly in need of qurrters before
the cold weather comes on. Fort ASSN
niboine is situated on the northern slope
OF Bear Paw mountains, near Beaver
creek, small tributary. OF the Milk
river, in latitude AZ degrees 35 minutes
north and longitude :109 degrees 45 min
ltes west, some seventy miles northwest
of Fort Benton and about thirty-five
from the British boundary. 1t is an
important post, since it commands the
whole region which has heretofore been
disturbed by hostile bands of Indians.
The new post on or near the Muscle
Shell will be located probably on
Macdonald's creek, small tributary OF
the Muscle Shell in the close
neighborhood Of that stream and neal
the Missouri river. Itssituation may be
astron onically defined as inor about lat.
itude AZ degrees 10 minutes north and
longitude los degrees As minutes west
There are no troops there now but the
two companies now at Fort Logan, q
short distance west of Helena, are to be
moved there and Gen. Terry has not yet
determined whether to send any more
troops there"
