| Woman-Tamer's Experience with a
Homsly Girl.


Mr.. Tibbitts. after long experience
as a woman-tamer, determined to at
tach himself only to the homeiest and
most ill-favored waiter-grls he conld
find in the beer-halls of Holland. He
did this in Amsterdam, and was happy
in entirely monopolizing one of the
most homely in the entire Kingdom
He was very happy with her, or seemed
to be.
But his blissful experience came to
sudden end. He was discussing with
his friends the advantage of homely girls
who were entirely devoted to YOU, over
those of more personal beauty, who,
because of their beauty, put heavier
value upon themselves.
This girl" said Mr.. Tibbitts, sis en-
tirely devoted to me. deliberately Sc
lected her from this bevy of beauties
and she is so grateful for it that she
would not object to anything l might
do. might greve her. but such is her
entire absorption in me, that she would
make no sign. She would suffer in sill
ence and live on hope till the effect had
worn off"
Then, to illustrate the complete SUBJ
mission to which be had reduced the
girl, he asked her for another glass of
beer. The girl started for it with alac-
rity born of love, upon which Mr.. lib
bits winked at another girl, very
pretty one, who came to him promptly
The young woman-tamer took the
pretty girls hand in his, and was toy
ing with it when the original appeared
with the beer. The homely girl looked
1t Mr.. Tibbitts then at the pretty girl,
then observing where her hand was,
aud where Mr.. Tibbitts's hand was, ut
tered q true womanly hiss, and the
heavy mug described circle in the air
and descended upon Tibbtts's head,
the beer flowing down his shoulders and
over his coat and vest. The girl, know
ing that she had committed an unpar-
donable sin, tore off her little leathern
bag. made hasty exit from the place
and was seen no more.
And then Mr.. Tibbitts, after few
moments of apparently deep thought,
remarked that at last he had found his
mission. II shall" said he, picking
bits of glass from his hair, and wiping
beer from his coat, "compile book
from my own experience for the use of
young men who may come after me,
which shall christen "The Damfoors
Guide Through Cold and Unfeeling
World The following will be the first
two entries:
First. A lovely girl entirely devoted
to you will stand anything from you,
except fooling with another girl.
Second. Never believe that you
have full control of any woman. They
are extremely impulsive and very illog-
ical, and whenever they have in their
hands u beer glass, rolling-pin, boot
jack or other offensive weapon, be care
full TO conduct yourself with great pro-
priety when they are within hearing,
seeing, or feeling distance.
Il shall contiaue to add to this book
as time rolls on. which it will. If live
to be eighty it will be of inestimable val
ne, for if the young fellows of the next
generation avoid what | shall doubtless
pass through, they will live very smooth
and even lives. "-70iedo Blade.

Capture of Horse Thieves.

From Officer Comfy we learn Of All
important capture of horse thieves
made down the valley on Monday.
Eight head of horses were stolen from
Pease Bottom about week ago, five
of them belonging deputy sheriff
Bob Guy. AS soon as the
loss was discovered Guy with
two companions set out to pursue
them. The trail was followed up the
valley as far as Park City, where the
thieves. four in number, were GiScOv-
cred camped. with the horses near
them. Guy spoke with them and they
said the horses we're strays which
they had picked up. Guy then went
down to Billings and gota a warrant for
their arrest, and returning on Monday
night found the men in saloon, all
heavily armed. Guy told them he
had 4 warrant to read to them. Ono
of them replied that if there was a
warrant for him it would be read at
the muzzle Of Winchester. Guys
friends then took hand in the game
by covering the thieves with revolvers
and they were arrested without fur
ther trouble and taken to Billings OH
the next train. There were three
white men and one negro in the origi-
nal capture, and on Tuesday morning
4 fifth man who had been seen with
the gang, came into Billings and was
arrested before he knew Of the fateof
his pals. They were ali taken to GUS

ASTRONOMICAL PROGREsg.

Like the land of the sea, the stars Of
heaven have ever been used as effective
symbols of number, and the improve
ments In the method of our observation
have added fresh force to our original
Impressions. We now know that cur
earth is but fraction of one out of at
least 5000, 600 worlds. But this is not
all. In addition to the luminous heav-
emily bodies, we can not doubt that there
are countless others, invisible to us
from their greater distance, smaller size,
or feebler light; indeed, we know that
there are many dark bodies which now
emit no light. or comparatively little.
Thus, in the case of Procyon, the exist
ence Of an invisible body is proved by
the movement of the visible star.
Again, L may refer to the curious phe-
nomena presented by Algol, bright
star in the head of Medusa. This star
shines without change for two days and
thirteen hours then, in three hours and
half, dwindles from star of the
second to one Of the fourth magnitude !;
and then, in another three and half
hours, reassumes its original brilEarcv.
These changes seem certainly to ind =
cate the presence of an Opaque body,
which intercepts at regular intervals q
part of the light emitted by Algol.
Thus the floor of heaven is not only
"thick inlaid with patines Of bright
gold," but studded also with extinct
stars once, probably, as brilliant as Cur
own sun, but now dead and cold, as
Helmholtz tells us that our own sun Ill
be, some 100000 years hence.
The connection of astronomy with the
history of our planet has been a subject
