Cowboys with lariats hanging on their
saddles are seen at every turn, riding
on the stout little broncho ponies of the
plains; rough-looking men are loafng
on the street corners; occasionally a
big Indian, " with squaw or two fol-
lowing him, stalks across the scene,
and on each side of the street are in
Vulnerable places of low resort, in
which the combined attractions of rum
and gambling are openly advertised.
These places are so numerous, indeed,
that they seem at first glance to con-
stitute the chief industry of the town.
At night they present a curious spec
tacle. Nearly all are large rooms
opening on the street. The doors are
kept wide open when the weather will
permit, and inside may be seen mot
ley crowd of men and women. On one
side of the room is long bar from
which beer and whisky are dispensed,
and about which there is always a
crowd. Scattered about the room are
three or four faro "lay-outs, with grim
and intensely-interested groups of
players standing around them. Scat

Cinnamon, for John thrives on the
frontier even as he does in the large
cities, and Il he escapes being lassooed
by mischievous cowboy, is allowed to
pursue in peace the usual vocations of
his race. At some of the tables women
act as dealers of the game, and ap-
parently they are regarded with the
utmost respect by the rough men who
are tempting fortune and wasting their
hard-earned savings. Everything is
conducted quietly and in the most or
derly manner. To be sure, there is a
revolver or two ostentatiously displayed
at the side of heap of money and
chips on the table, or sticking in
menacing way from a players broad
buckskin belt; but they are seldom
used, and seemed to be carried more in
q spirit of reckless bravado than for
offensive or defensive purposes. In
warm weather the gaming tables are
removed to the edge of the plank side
walks, and on pleasant summer even
ing the spectacle is one that does not
impress stranger with the high moral
tone of the inhabitants.

Sery little to relieve the sutferings OF

overflow Of the Rhine. To make mat
oers worse, the weather has been intense
iy cold. just ut this time. when there is
20 much suffering, the German govern
ment sees proper to increase the already
immense army. While millions are being
.auandered in all kinds Of extravagance.
and the burdens Of the people increased
IN every possible way, the destitute sub
iects of Kaiser Wilhelm are dying OF
starvation and cold.
The following bitter satire on the red
tape that encumbers what little assis-
tance is rendered the unfortunate people.
is translated from German comic paper:

could easily have stood up on the end oi

The circles grew smaller. and the rat

Let your wood be dry and honest. and
your chances for promotion in life are

''Stay on the farm" Is the beginning
of hundreds of newspaper articles. As
rule they are written by men who loft
the farm years ago and attained soIne-
thing Of success. The universal advice
of ''stay away from town" is worthy OF
but little consideration. Many OF the
most suecassf,A htIsinpss men in the
United States have came from between
the plow handles. If they had remained
on the farm as their county papers adj
vised them, they might now be the til

rough wood. and the drawers Of swamp
water. Where one man leaves the farm

fail would never make successful farm
