Il came to tell you this morning that
you might as well stop them proceed

Obadiah strolied away to Leadyille two
years a-o, ard kind of give me and the
kids the grand shake. Since then I've
been rustling in my gentle, unobtrusive
manner to make stake. I've wrote to
him occasionally whenever / had leisure.
and kind of rounded him up for not
chipping i'll with his assessment, but he
never represented. That kind of irri-
tated me, and 1 asked you last week to
get me divorce. If paid all the as
sessments myself thought 'twould be
no more than square to get all the divi-
den's- But this morning 1 got news
from Leadville tina. has changed my no.
ton little about the divorce"
''Sent You some money, did he?"
''No, not that. He didn't even write
to me, but | got paper with big blue
mark around a piece in it, which con-
veys the intelligence that Obadiah was
hung there on the 10th by request. 1t
seems that he got to jumping lots and
stealing horses between meals, and Eco
pie got down on him. Then he salted
a claim over on Buckskin, and sold it for
$40, 900 TO a tenderfoot from away do VI
East. He made several fowery breaks
like that, and the popular feeling SEEM
ed more or less turned againrt him.
Seve raj weeks ago Obadiah stole pair
OF mules from a man who belonged in
KOkomo. and next night went back to
get neckyoke and monkey wrench that
belonged to the wagon, and happened to
run right into a passle of vigilantes
lOokin' for a job. They took Obadiah
over to tall, timber tree, and let him
stand on bronco pony plug under the
lowest limb while they tied clothes line
around his windpipe. Obadiah told
them that he was not much of a bare
back rider, and he didn't know whether
he could DO the trek or not. They slid
the clothes line over the limb and hit
the bronco lick with quirt. The
bronco was high-life plug, and had
been raised in luxury, so he got mad
when they hit him and he Lit our some.
That left Obadiah in good deal of
suspense. He wiggled around little
AID got embarrassed, and didn't seem
to know what to do with his hands for
while. Then he became more calm
and composed in his manner, and the
crowd made present of him to the
coroner. wrote the authorities to
send me his check book and a state
ment of Obadiah's bank account, and
whatever you're out on this divorce
hooraw will be all right, understand.
I'd rather let the vigilantees FIX up my
.sw business than to die of old age wait.

GOODNIGHT.

There's face in the mirror OF loneliness rare.
Encircled by round, d!mp.ed arms. sweetly bare,
White fingers, piuk-tipped, hide and seek in her
hair,
A-taSing il OF for the night
There's a pair Of brown eyes, rather sleepy, it's
true
Red cheeks tha. outrival the peaches in hue,
A mouth made of rose-buds and holding a few
Bent hair pins tween teeth pearly white
There's nutter, of white angel wings, suppose
4 dropping Of shoes and a showing of hose;
A paffer of little bare feet and ten toes.
A-running across on the roor.
Then darSness-a ghost eneeling down by the bed;
The riniest prayer that ever was said,
pulling of blankets all over the head,
And sweet little musical snore.

In the private room of ahotel sat Mrs.
WiImot, painfully regretting the past and
rejecting en- the future, wnen Mr.. WIlmot
entered the room, and addressed her with ::

''You are very Obliging. You have done
nothing but ask me fer money since mar

ticn of lending you no more

serves all thst he gets. Better have a wife

my sentiment: but how are the happy pair

Good taste rejects excessive nicely; it
treats little thing as little things, and is
not hurt by theni.-FenetOn.
Humility is to make right estimate of
ones self. 1t is n, humility for a man to
think less of himself than he ought.
A social order that makes place for rev.

One advantage in pasturing sheep, and
one which greatly promotes fertility is that
these animals naturally select the highest
points in the field for reclining at night.
As these spots are usually less fertile, the
feed consumed on the low lands helps 10
bring up what needs fertiliziug most, and
thus an equilibrium of fertility is preserv-
ed.
Most of our insect-eating birds will de-
your the rose bug. These bugs are also
eaten greedily by domesticated fowls.
When these insect pests become exhausted
and fall to the ground, or when they are
about to lay their eggs, they are destroyed
by moles, insects and vlrious animals
which lie in wait to seize them. DIR. Green
asserts that species Of dragon fly or dew
lis needle devours them.
II is probable that the question whether
large or medium horses are best will resolve
itself into a question Of locality. The
Percheron and Clydesdsle breeding estab-
lishments are mainly in the West In New
England and the East. where farms are
smaller. a lighter horse will generally be
preferred for farm work, while large, heavy
animals will always be required in the
heavy teaming Of cities and large towns.

The Bad and worthless

are never initiated or counterfeited. This is
especially true of family medicine, and 1t is
positive proof tn at the remedy initiated is of the
highest value. As soon as 1t had been tested and
proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was
the purest, best and most valuable family medi-
cine Oh earth, many limitations sprung up and
began to steal the notices in which the press and
people Of the country had expressed the merits
Of II. b., and in every way trying to induce suf-
ferlng invalids to use their stuff instead expect
ing to make money on the credit and good name
Of II. B. Many others started nostrums put up in
similar style to II. B., with variousiy devised
names in,which the word "Hop" or "Hops" were
used in a way to induce people to believe they
were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pre-
tended remedies or cures, no matter what their
style or name is, and especially those with the
word "Hop" or Shops" In their name or In any
way connected with them or their name, are imi-
tations OF counterfeits. Beware OF them. Touch
none of them. use nothing but genuine Hop
Btters, with bunch or cluster OF green Hops on
the white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists
and dealers are warned against dealing In imita-
tons or counterfeits

We heard of an empty train that came

Notes.

In new combs the thickness of the sides
of the cells containing honey is but the
180th part of an inch.
Every warm day in September before
the frost comes is worth many million dol
lars in the corn crop of this country.
At the large slaughter houses the slim
bones of cattle, after the extraction of their
oil, and the hoofs are exported to Eng
land for making buttons.
1t is stated that single firm in Philadel-
pha last year manufactured and sold over
100 tens of Paris green for the destruction
of the potato beetle aid cotton worm.
So soon as the young clover begins to
show heads, it may be lightly pastured
without much injury. Bossoming is an
exhaustive process and stock prefer the
blossoms.
The value of agricultural implements
yearly produced in the United States has
increased tenfold since 1854. In that year
the census showed it to be SO, $40, 900.
Now it Is more than sos, 600, 900.

Three little words, but full Of tenderest meaning
Three little words, the heart can scarcely hold
Three little words. but on their import dwelling,
What wealth OF love these syllab!es unfold
"For my sake" cheer the suffering, help the
needy
On earth this was my work, give II thee;
II thou wouldst follow In thy Masters footsteps,
Take up My cross, and come and learn OF Me.
"For my sake let the little ones be tended,
All that gave unto thee, safely Keep
/ took them In my arms, received ana blessed
them,
Do now the same for me, "Feed now my sheep
"For my sake" let the harsh word die nnuttered,
That tremDes on the swift, impetuous tongue
''For my sake" check the quick, rebelous Keeling
That rises when thy brother does thee wrong.
'.For my sake" ever press with patience onward
Although the race he hard, the battle long;
Within my Fathers house are many mansions,
There thou shalt rest and JOIN the vlctor's song
And If in coming days the world revile thee,
If "f0r my sake" thou suffer pain and loss,
Bear on, faint heart, thy Master went befor'
thee
They only wear his crown who share his cross
0 Thou, dear Lord, who walked on earth ncarnate
Fan would we follow, but we fear 10 tall
Lo! at thy feet we bend, thy aid imploring,
Our only plea That "fo: thy sake" we call.
