HOmely Girls.

Pittsburg Dispatch "Why are home
ly girls always the best scholars. the best
workers and make the best wives?'
This question was propounded by an
observant and intelligent gentleman,
who has twice been led to the hymenial
altar and is ready to be sacrificed again.
'Is s;.cIl really the case ~
Il have reason to know that it Is. 1t
is natural enough, isn't it? The girl who
is handsome in feature and form con-
c!l,ies very early in life that these are
her stock in trade, and with them enters
matrimonial market. Nine times out of
ten she is soon off the hooks and at the
head Of a house. He' homeIy sister has
scarcely entered her teens until she dis
covers she is made to stand aside for the
prcttv-faccd girls. All that neatness of
dress, elegance OF manners and profi-
cienc, in the arts of making ones self at
tractive she does, deliberately and for II
purpose, perhaps, or possibly for no 9TH
er reason than, Topsy like, she grew that
way
"Thc chances are she does it solely for
the purpose Of compcnsatins for her lack
OF physical beauty
"NIv observations lead directly to the
opposite conclusions" replied the intelli-
cent observer There is among the
great laws of nature known Us the laws of
compensation, and am thoroughly con-
yinccd that to 1t the homely girl is in,
,leItei for the tastes ard disposition that
prompts her to make herself useful when
she cannot be ornamental
"Than, if you the choice of two ladies,
one beautiful end the other homely, you
would take the honieIy one -
Experiences and observation both teach
me that would be the wise thing to do.
The first impulse would naturally be to
| take the prct;icr of the two. but | would
give the first impulse time to pass off,
and act upon sober second thought
| The old gentleman may be entirely
right III this matter.

A COngenial Tramp Whose Frankness
EQualled His Generosity.

Philadelphia Call: "Wiil you give me
ten cents for drink" asked tramp.
"Ynur frankness is so refreshing" re-
piled the gentleman, that l woult. be
glad to accommodate you. but unfortun-
ately, l have nothing less than a
quarter"
"H'm, that's rather embarrassing. You
wouldn't care to give me the quarter, I
suppose
Hardly. In fact, l have only a
quarter in my pocket, and shall prob
ably want drink myself before din

Il sec,' replied the tramp, the situa-
tion is decidedly complicated. Allow me
to think for moment. ALI. have it.
J':s;: give me the quarter, and we will

They Were canvassiEg the present hard
times and future prospects, and one OF
them finally said:

that has brought us to this pinch. We
produce too much and too fast"
The other agreed with him, and far
mer-looking man across the aisle spoke
up and said:
"Gents, that strikes me hard, and
believe you are right; over production is
the evil, and know it. Pm the father

Something Perhaps He Would Eat.

Heard good story on West End
minister one day last week. He is a
vegetarian of the strictest order, and in
the course of his pastoral career he was
invited out to Sunday dinner by one of
the sisters of his flock, whose name for
the nonce shall be Smith. Old man
Smith did not 60 to church that morning.
His wife told him to expect her TO bring
home company to dine. and he, with the
aid of the cook. laid the foundation for q
supurb repast. Mrs. Smith came home,
but ali the company she brought was the
minister. They were seated at the
table when this sort of conversation en-
sued:
"Mr JONES'" meaning the minister,
what part of the chicken do you like
best ?"
Really, Mr.. Smith, l don't care about
any chicken"
"WeIl, here is some extra fine roast
beef; try some of it."
Excuse me, Mr.. Smith, will forego
the beef"
Il have some tender lamb here now
will that suit?"
Il never eat iaInb.'
"Well, now, l know you can't refuse
this boiled ham,"
"Pardon me, brt ham never touch"
During all this time Smiths father, an
Old, gray-haired sinner, had been seated
near him watching operations, and stand
ing it as long as he could, squeaked out
in piping voice:
John, maybe the d fool will suck
an egg
The enjoyment Of that dinner was
spoiled.

"MayeriM."
women.

The name "Maverick" came from
Texas originally. In 1851 Joe Maverick
was the biggest cow-owner in all that
part Of the country, and was getting rich
er every day. The owners of the small
herds in his vicinity became poorer and
poorer while Mavericks cattle continu-
ally grew in numbers. 1t finally came
to be well known, through his cowboys,
that he was in the habit ofappropriating
to himself all the unbranded calves found
on the ranges near him, and placing on
their hides his own brand, and it grew
to be IL common joke among the cowboys
to say, when lot of unbranded catt.e
were seen on the range, Those are Nav
crick's." After the original circumstances
were forgotten, the apostrophe was drop
ped but the name remained, and was APP
piled to any unbranded cattle. and SO it
has come down to us.

Montana Staek Raising.

We are asked by Eincl.for Iowa
correspondent certain questions about
the livestock business in Montana. He
is "a young man with some means, and
intends to 90 into the stock business on
q small scale in the West" He thinks,
from what he has read in the Rural and
StOckman, that Montana is the place
that offers the most inducemcnt He
wishes us to give general information
concerning the stock business in that
Territory, and what part would be the
best for beginner, and whether he
could get free range for cattlo, or would
have to purchase land?
Sucli questions as these are the most
difficult that We have to answer. In the
first place we cannot advise our young
friend TO 90 to Montana or any where
else for the purpose of entering upon the
livestock business without knowing
something about him. If we knew that
the business in Montana paid five hum
like to hold out any inducement to one
who we did not know was capable of
conducting the business, for no business
runs itself and it is not often that a
business can be made to pay withont eX
perIence in its management If the
stock business is well managed in Mon
tana it is remunerative. and that is about
all we can say about 1t. We are not able
to give the measure of success which
anyone has achieved there, and il we
could, that would be somebody elsc's
success. and no assurance that our cor
respondent could achieve similar sue
cess. We recently published letter
from one of our subscribers in the Tcrri-
tory which gave the best information
that this journal has ever given. Nor
can we answer as to the best loratiuns
for person to go. That is a matter
which every one must settle for himself.
He can soon learn where he had better
90 when he strikes the Territory He
can stop at various points and look over
tho s.za,,,.a 10
Helena, or any of the other towns, and
investigate. OF course there is plenty of
free land in the Territory, but as to its
availability we are not prepared to say.
If we were going to Montana we should
buy our land. Land will never be any
cheaper there, of course, and now that
the railroads are IN the Territory the
population will increase much more
rapidly, and the land near the road will
be taken up. The future Of Montana,
even in an agricultural point Of view is,
we believe, very high one. There is
probably no spot in this country that has
been SO generally underrated in many
directions as Montana. For a long time
it was not valued as it deserved even as
stock country, and even now many
have very erroneous ideas about it, But
its fame is tnat of stock and mining
section. 1t is going to be great agrieul-
tural state, or We miss our guess. and the
man who takes up land there will not
regret it.-[From the Chicago Western
Rural.
