Bill paid him and took up the finish
ing touches of his degree. He noticed
that the nose on the sand-bag was not
quite prominent enough and with i'm.
proved artistic skill, he drew a picture
that could not fail to represent his enemy.
Other tired men went to bed, but Bill,
persistent man, fought the bag, until the
rooster shook himself and declared that
daylight had come. Thinking that he
was undoubtedly capable of vanquishing
Dan, Bill sent him a challenge. Dan re-
piled as follows:

day of strife. Nothing gives me more
pleasure than to whip a friend. have
given you several opportunities, still you
have not married my mother. Why
should you delay marriage that prom

that lover was ardent, but l must say
that your laxity, or rather your weak
ness, has astonished me. Why don't you
go away somewhere and submit yourself
to severe training. If l wanted woman
| would be willing to fight for her."
Bill snorted whom he read the note.
He rushed into his room, made the nose
on the sandbag more prominent, and
mauled the. thing in a frightful manner.
He was so successful that buoyant hope
swelled within him.
The day for the battle was appointed.
The news had spread, and people from
adjoining counties assembled. The band
had been materially improved. A drum
made of two sheep skins and a nail keg
had been added. Additional benches
were provided.
Everybody was in high state of ex-
citement. Again young women smiled
on Dan. Again he was sure of success.
Bill was dressed in fax breeches and
hunting shirt. Dan was appropriately
clad in yellow muslin shirt and hemp
overalIs. The band gave grand burst;
women clapped their hands and the com.
batants took their places. The caper-
ing was beautiful. Bill knocked Dan
down. The defender of his mothers
widowhood arose, but was again knocked
down. The people cheered Justify. Bill
muttered prayer and bucked against
his assailant. Again Dan went down.
Bill jumped on him and compelled him
to declare his willingness to the mar
riage.
The ceremony was performed with
great pomp. Young girls scattered
flowers all over the yard.

The Ranking HOstler.

Gen. Stannard's second Vermont brf
gade camp at Union Mills in the spring
of 1868 was the gayest camp possible iu
the Army of the Potomac. 1t boasted OF
such representatives as Col Hooker
chief of staff, Lieut.. Schermerhorn, Hill,
Prentiss, Perley Downer, George M,
Clark, Hank White, etc., of which Col
Hooker was the recognized leader. In
''foragng" some of the boys of the bri
gade had discovered an antediluvian
vehicle, very costly and stylish probably
in the days of its make in England. But
it had been out of use for fifty years OF
more, and was kept as an heirloom.
The discovery of the carriage came to
Hookers knowledge, and he at once
levied upon it. 1t was brought into
camp and with six mules in the hands
of the brigade teamster, the members of
General Stannard's staff started to go the
rounds of inspecting regimental head
quarters. They were gone nearly the
whole afternoon, and, of course, were
obliged to stop everywhere on theiI
rounds to "take something" The times
were not so strictly temperate then as
now. There was but little doing in
camp, and Stannard was not aware OF
their absence or their mission, until this
conveyance, with the party, drove up to
his headquarters and called him out.
1t is said that the general was very
much chagrined at the predicament they
were in and considerably angered, too,
Hooker sat with the driver on his ''seat
in the air." while Schermerhorn, Hill,
Prentiss and Downer were in the box
below. General Stannard did not intend
the "rig" should depart, so he stepped
to the mules ON the lead and took one
by the bit. Then he went for his boys
at furious rate, using more adjectives
and expletives than Miss Cleveland, il
possible, but not the same sort. One by
one they got out of tho Confederate
buggy below and made for their quar-
ters as best they could, taking plenty
of time.
Stannard had directed the most Of his
conversation to Hooker, who, in turn,
advised his comrades to 60 to theiI
quarters Finally Hooker came down.
got down and went directly to Stannaro
and quiet said: "See here, general,
feel that have been honored to-day as
never before. have been complimentd
beyond my expectations, because it is
the first time in my life that ever had
a brigadier general for an hostler. Here
is twenty-five cents; take it." The gen
eral to ok in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the

Again Bill called upon the professor.

"Ah, my dear man," the professor re
piled, "the hardest thing in this world
to overcome is strength. Science is
wonderful-it enables man, after a
while, to come off victorious, but at first
it stands--or rather falls" he added in

"Queer" is word without a meaning,

Alfalfa and the Dressed Beef Trade

1t is well known that until recently
Dur stockmen have been simply growing
cattle for Eastern States to make beef of,
instead of making the beef here in Colo.
RADIO, even for home consumption. Hap
ply, this wasteful process is changing
The remarkable productiveness of alfalfa
and its great fattening properties are
cow thoroughly understood, and instead
Of bringing dressed beef into Colorado
from the East, we shall soon be shipping
dressed beef to the East, or if not that,
at least our cattle will be thoroughly fit.
ted for beef. Probably 20, 900 head were
fed alfalfa during the past winter in this
State, and though all feeders were not
equally successful, yet from 10000 tc
$4,000 were turned into prime beef on
alfalfa alone, against not more than q.
900 so fed in the preceding winter.
1t has been demonstrated by actual
test that steer weighing / 100 pounds,
stalled, fed, and cared for as cattle are
fattened in the East, gained in eighty
days 240 pounds in weight on
thirty pounds of alfalfa alone per day,
being an average daily growth of three
pounds, and when killed here last winter
was found to be the finest beef seen in
Denver for years. Another case is re-
ported where a farmer took a lot of thiu
steers in the fall, which cost him an
average sum of $95 per head, fed them
exclusively on alfalfa during the winter,
and sold them at an average price of $50
per head, and when slaughtered they
were equal to the best corn fed beef.
The possibilities of alfalfa raising and
it's uses in our State are incalcplable. II
has been proved to be as good feed fo,
sheep and swine as for cattle. Some o.
the finest and juciest mutton ever sold il
our market was fattened on alfalfa in Sly
weeks time. 1t can be grown in any
part of the State and three or four crops
gathered per year. That it is thoroughly
appreciated by our farmers is shown by
the fact that fourteen carloads of the
seed were brought to Denver alone las
year, and twenty to twenty-five carloadi
could be sold here this year if they coulc
be obtained. -Denoer (CoI.) Tribune,

VaccinatOrs Enter Couple of Schools
and the Scholars Stampede.
QUEBEC, Oct. 4.--One death occurred
at the Marine Hospital this morning from
small pox. The case came from Montreal.
Great excitement was caused yesterday
at st. SauVeur when a public vRccinator
entered two Of the largest French schools
there for the purpose OF vaccinatiDg the
scholars. The pupils became greatly
alarmed owing TO previous erroneous
statements about the severity OF vaccina-
tiOn and also that they would be put TO
severe test by force If they would not
submit. Entire classes rushed from
the schools and home to their
parents, who consequently became
exasperated, and proceeded to the schools
in no peaceful state Of mind. They were
met by the Mayor Of the municipality,
who expostulated with them and finally
got them TO understand the necessity Of
vaccination, when the crowd dispersed
without using any violence. To-day the
clergy in several Roman Catholic churches
spoke Of the necessity of vaccination, and
OF having patients removed to the hospi-
tai should the dread disease make its ap-
pearance in their midst.

SEATTLE's CRISIS.
a Dangerous Element in Favor OF ViO-
lence Against the Chinese.


lence Against the Chinese.
SEATTLE, WY. T., Oct. 1.-Two large
meetings were held here last night, both
for the purpose of discussing the Chinese
question. The knights Of Labor are de-
sirous Of quickly getting rid of the
Chinese without violence or bloodshed,
but there is an element here not at all
anxious to avoid violence and they are
working to increase the aglta-
ton. The latter class held a
meeting and their speeches were
loudly applauded when making any re-
ference to tine idea OF forcing the Chinese
to leave. The Knights Of Labor, in hav-
ing this element saddled upon them. will
find their work much retarded. While
meeting of the class referred TO was
being held in one hall, about 700 citizens
gathered in the opera house, signed a
pledge TO aid in enforcing the law, and
assisting the officers in quelling any riots
that may occur, and Sheriff j. II. McGraw
then appointed them deputy sheriffs, and
justice OF the peace administered
the oath OF office to each. The town was
then districted into 20 parts, and a Cap
tain for each district was appointed. The
deputies will form 20 companies, and
when properly armed will be able to fur
nish ample security against riots.
