Rather Chew than Marry.

When Ada Rehan, the well~known
actress, wa in Louisville a short time
ago, a Southern gentleman, a planter
of considerable years and fortune, al.
lowed her charms to overcome his long,
ing sustained aversion to matrimony.
and approached the fair lady with pros
posals of marriage. The following
conversation is then reported by a We
racious Louisville scribe:
''If ] consent to become your wife,
sir, ] should first desire time to under
stand your disposition: second, I should
desire your consent to two PROPOSE
tions."
Name 'em," he said.
"You must consent to my staying on

would"

from his lips there followed q pro-
longed whistle.
"Great CAD, miss! surely-why-.
WE'LL" and then he again started.
II NEAR what I say"
"Come. now," he found voice to
speak; "come, now. miss, let's compro-
mise; I'll agree to your acting a year or
two, but don't cut off my tobacco
don't. Td-it would-don't."
"You have heard the alternative"

One Honest Man.

Six men sat around a stove in a De-
troit tobacco store. There had been a
long period of silence when one of them
rubbed his leg and remarked:
THAT old wound feels as if 1t was
going to open again. l shall always
remember the battle of Rich Mount.
ain"
There ? was a slight stir around
the stove, and a second man put his
hand to his shoulder, and observed:
"And 1 shall not soon forget Brandy
Station. Feels to-day as if the lead
was gong to work out"
The interest was now considerably IN
creased, and the third man knocked the
ashes off his cigar and said:
"Yes, those were two hard fights, but
you ought TO have been with Nelson at
Franklin. Lor', but wasn't l excited
that day! When these two fingers
went with a grape-shot l never felt the
pain!"
The fourth man growled out some-
thing about Second Bull Run and a
saber-cut on the head, ard the fifth
man felt of his left side and said he
should always remember the lay of the
ground at the Yellow Tavern. The
sixth man was silent. The other five
looked at him and waited for him to
speak, but it was a long time before he
pointed to his empty sleeve and asked:
Gentlemen, do you know where 1
got that?"
Some mentioned one battle and some
another, but he shook his head sadly
and continued:
"Boys, let's be honest and own right
up. 1 lost my arm by a buzz-saw, and
now we will begin on the left and give
every one a chance to clear his con-
science. Now, then, .show your
wounds"
Thefive men leaned back in their
chairs and smoked fast and chewed
hard and looked at each other, and each
one wished he was in Texas, when a
runaway horse flew by and gave them a
chance to rush out and get clear of the
n armed man. 1t was a es-
cape than any one of them hadhad dur-
ing the war.

A Rush of Business.

Young DIR. Toothaker, the dentist
settled near London, o., and opened
his office, and was awfully mad when a
man came into town n night about
half past eleven o'clock and woke him
up to pun a couple of harrow teeth.
Then the next night a man came in
from the bottoms and wanted him TO go
ont and lance a gum log for him.
Then another wanted him to phil a
snaq from the mouth Of the creek; and
another man, north Of town, wanted
him to fill a lecayed tooth in a wooden
horserake. And, at last, when an old
woman came 10 and wanted O set OF
false teeth for q fine comb. DIR. Tootha-
ker got mp out of bed and ran away in
the night.

CATTLE EASING IN COLORADO.

We are often ssked by Ess ern parties If stock
on the plains of Colorado pays; and we can an
swer the question best by very briefly referring
them and our readers to the experience, for the
past seven years, Of L. h. Cole, Of Denver In the
spring Of II, Mr.. Cole and his brother engaged in
the cattle business in Weld County, They had
but little money, some credit and about eight
hundred head Of cattle Of all kinds After the
partnership had existed q short time, they dis
solved 1t, one devotiDg his time to farming, and
Mr.. L. Il. Cole giving his exclusive attention 10
his cattle The second SEASON after this, he went
into partnershid with Mr. A. ]. Williams, who is
now President Of the Exchange Bank Of Denver
and they purchased about 1000 more cattle
These gentlemen continued the business in COM
psny for a couple Of years, when Mr.. Cole bought
the entire herd; after that time he carried on the
business until the first of October last, when he
sold his entire herd Of cattle to John HitsOn for
100000 cash. This brief recital Of facts needs but
few explanations to show how very profitable this
business has been under the management Of Mr..
Cole; but we Can add further to this statement by
saying he had not, when he commenced the busi'
ness 1900.
In addition to the herd of cattle, he had ane
band OF horses OF over two hundred head; with
one of the best stations In the Stsie be hao pur
chased for use IN his herd one hundred and twen-
ty.five Shortrorn bulls, Of which sixty were
thoroughbreds; and he also ownedRsVeral houses
and lots IN Denver, together with numerous
