SOME MORE CRANKs.

The most iusipid and distastefui Of
men is the nincompoop va agrees
with everything you say. He 10 more
exasperating and disgusting than any
other bora 10 the universe. He has
nothing to gain BY his agreeableness,
except reputation for potiteness. He
is lacking in brains. backbone and de-
cision Of character. He is to be net
with everywhere. There are several
of him in every town in the country.

cence is nauseating. He is . sort of
parallel line concurring with every
thing he comes in contact with. He
knows nothing Of logic, and never ar-
gues. He is q human ecbo-a misei-
able chorus; and, like q round but
toned Chinese image, he mods and
bows whenever be is put in m, ton.
If you said that he should te hung, he
would bow, and, echoing your re-
marks, would state that be wac per

that subject.
He is string Of exasperatins inter

cranks owes us q sum CT money,

him the other day, We said: Colonel,

A really more pleasant person, by
comparison, il the man who has COM
bafiveness and self esteem so much de-
veloped in the back of his head that it
bends him over backwards. He will
argue against his own belief for sake

He doesn't quite agree with al the

And now-she was leading him over
long, rough road. and eating him.
oh! not kindly and carefully certainly.
Nelly felt very uncomfortable.
The voice spoke again: (" You know
that you are not coming this way for
nuts, but for grapes; you. tried to de-
ceIve Freddy as to your motive. but he
was not deceived, and because he saw
your real motive. and told you of it, you
became angry, and spoke GROSSLY, and
shook him: you have added sin to sin.
And all because you have forgotten
your Verse;" And just then Nelly re-
| membered.
Her verse for the day had been:
Lead US not into temptation, but de-
liver US from evil" She had promised
her mother 20 think of it during the
day. And before an hour had passed
she had quite forgotten it. !
"Oh dear" said Nelly. with sigh;
"what wicked girl am" Freddy
heard the words. and looked up quick
ly. he saw great tear roll down his
sisters cheek.

How t. Travel.

Travelling in our country is both COM
Portable and agreeab g, ii the traveller
will pay attention to few directions.
| suppose, dear little friends, that you
have seen fussy and fidgety people on
the road, who made themsel, es and
other people unhappy by their behav-
Tor. The cars Were too warm or too
cold, the locomotive was going too fast
or too slow, they feared the baby in the
next seat had the who ing-cough. or
they were sure there would be coils
ion. Ii on the water, they were in ter
ror lest the engineer was ia ing, and
the uneasineSs they telt made them
wretched
Now, my dears, listen to me. When
you 60 on journey you are pass
enger; your ticket is pad for; and as
you are neither captain, pilot, con-
ductor. nor engineer, give yourself no
trouble about the way car or boat is be-
ing managed. Never take responsible
ty that does not belong to you.
The old Romans used to call baggage
'napedimentd. They tried TO have as
little of it as thew could when on a
march. Unle you are going to stay a
long time, take no more luggage than
is necessary. A little handbag Or a
shawl-strap, with perhaps an umbrella.
is all that a young traveller should have
to care for on a journey.
When you purchase your ticket If no
older friend is with you to attend to the
checking OF your trunk, you must see
to it yourself. This is very simple.
Go with your ticket to the place to
which the expresSman has taken your
trunk, show your ticket to the ba gage.
master, and he will attach check to
your gools, and give you one pre-
cisely like it. You must put this away
in place where you can get at it con-
veniently, as you must return it TO the
steamer or railway company when you
ella m your properly.
Never tuck your ticket out of sight or
into some out Of-tbe-way pocket. Have
it read to show the conductor when
ever it is called tor.
A little girl is sometimes uncertain

does not with him to purchase her tick

him the money to pay for it.
The proper thing for Eda is to hand
her pocket-book to Mr.. Dick, and re-
quest him to take from it the amount
OF hen fare. he pleasantest wa :, If
the journey be long one. would be for
Eda's papa to give her escort sufficient
sum to pay all her ex enses.
People on a journey should not be
selfish. Nobody should take two seats
when only entitled to one. Two or
three merry BOYS and girls tray cling to-
gether should be careful not to laugh
and talk SO loudly that they annoy 9TH
ers. Ladies and gen lemen new r do
this. You can have deal of fun with
out being cons icous.
Never neglect a chance to do kind

courtesy from the young to those who
are old or in trouble. -Harper's Young

RICHES IN THE GRAZING RE.
GIONS,

There is NO country in the world that can
boast Of so many rich men, in proportion
TO its population, as the grazing districts OF
Texas. Our stockmen are growing rich
faster than any other class Of citizens, and
the time will soon come when we will boast
Of Is many millionsires as some Of the
Eastern States. Southwest Texas has more
men worth from 81, 100000 to $1,000. 900,
all made BY stock raising, than any other
part Of the grazing world. She boasts Of
her cattle kings. OConner, Stafford, King
and Kennedy could each count out more
than a million, and some of them three
times that amount. Their possessions of
land are almost as large a. some Of the New
England States, while their cattle will sg-
grega.e over 200, 900 head. They are self
made men; they have had confidence in
Texas lands and cattle.
Men worth half million can be found
In nearly every county, their large pastures
Of fine stocks paying them better interest
in other pursuits. Men OF 500, 900 and
100000 capital are common. They are
scattered all over the grazing country; they
60 simply clad. and q stranger would never
suspect their bank account would be good
for Qne-third Of what il really is. As q
class they are hsrd-working, busy re, of
men, who drive over any and all obstacles
in their way. They are independent, self
reliant men, who know their business from
the branding pen to the bank account. They
have made their money by hard work, and
know Just what il has cost them in labor to
earn their wealth. They are VIGOROUSLY lib
eral, often carrying their liberality to seem
ing recklsssne.s. No class Of men are their
superiors as traders; they are good fnan-
ciers, and you find them in all matters per-
tanning to their line Of business thoroughly
posted. They are better posted about mar
kets, supply and demand, than one-half of
the business men Of the country. They are
doing more for the material welfare OF the
State than all the farmers in Texas. The
revenues TO the State from their productions
are greater than from any other class of citi-
zens Of equal numbers. They have always
been the buiwark Of the frontier; they cap
tured the country from the savsges who once
held il; they are the pioneers of the West;
to them Texas owes her greatness. All the
troops Of the United States could not have
tier. They deserve all the money they
have earned, and the good will of the coun-
try.-Fort Worth (re1as) Live Stock Jour.

The Sterling Gazette says: Jacob Weigel
reports that cattle are dying of dry murran
in his neiehborhood. The di.ease prevails
only among cattle which are herded in corn
stalks. IL is bel eyed to result from their
eating the smuited ears. Reports from other
neighborhoods show that the disease is wide
spread, and many cattle are dying.
