Somebody has made the Husbondman mad
and it lets off steam in this wise:
If you want your county to prosper, taxa
Bile property to increase, taxes to grow light,
and your county own to build up; its mer-
camille interests to multiply and wax mighty,
its hotel TO become popular and thronged
with visitors, its coach lines to become
crowded with passengers-Withhold your
patronage from your local paper, be as mean
to its editor as you know how, never sell
him anything you can sell to any a else,
abuse him as much as possible, give him to
understand that he ought to be able to run a
paper without adVeltlsilg or other support,
or not undertake ii. lake him know that
you kn y that h has no influence, throw
every ,ssAcls yalt ca il his way and try
and induce your friends to do likewise, and
we will venture that his paper will flourish
and all your desires will be accomplished.
He will compile success and accomplish
your wishes purely for spite. If you don't
believe ii, ask some unprejudiced citizen of
the thriving little village Of White Sulphur
Springs.
But, seriously speaking every man who
has the interests Of his town at heart should
know that . Wel1-supported local paper will
do more to attract outsiders and build 90 q
community than anything else.

sought diversion, and amid the beautiful
Wales and broad prairies of the great North
west he found what he came for. In other
words he sauntered from the camp one day
after game and was successful in bringing
down q fine large antelope. Elated with his
success he laid his rifle down by the dead
animal-the weapon was q magnificent one,
costing probably not less than $200-and re-
traced his steps to camp for aid in transport
ing his trophy to the cuisine department of
the party. He found camp and sta. ted back
after his bis game, but, alas! he had forgot
ten his bearing and was unable to find either
game or rifle, and after searching for two
days the hardy mariner became disguised,

pom as q monument Of his stupidity upon
The vast and undulating prairies of the west.

themselves; intolerant Of the restraints Of
civilized life; knowing not fatigue and fear
ing no danger in their seeking after earth's
hidden treasure, the life Of one such would
furnish material for half a dozen volumes in
which truth would be indeed stranger than

is these men who have led the van and
blazed the path by which the freat army Of

of the Great West, and to-day the world is

Romance ofMaggie L. II.

The name of tho mother of Iroquois brings
to the surface quite an interesting romance.
1t appears that young James Clay, a grand
son of Henry Clay, vas deeply in love with
Miss Maggie B. Beck, daughter of Senator
Beck, of Kentucky, and in the admiration
for his sweetheart he christened his favorite
racing FLY Maggie B. B. The marriage of
young Clay and Miss Beck was opposed by
their relatives, sid she afterwards married
the nephew of w. w. Corcoran, the mil
lionaire banker of Washington. Young Clay,
after losing bis sweetheart, turned all his at
tention 10 her equine namesake, and when a
resident of the blue grass country wished to
express the power of his love for anything,
he was in the habit of saying he loved like
Jim Clay loved Maggie B. B." Miss Beck
went to Washington, where she became a
society belle, but her health failed shortly
after leaving Kentucky, and she died few
months later. Maggie B. B., after winning
a number of races, was retired TO Mr..
Welch's paddock, at Erdenheim, where she
became the m1ther Of many such fleet footed
runners as uArold and Iroquois New York
