The Amenities of Journalism Al.
vey A. Lowery, editor and owner of
the Deming Headlight, was in town
yesterday. He dared us to say any-
thing mean about him on threats of
personal violence and a general drub-
bling through the columns of his
weekly almanac. If he wasn't cross
eyed and bandy-legged and didn't
have to leave his feet out of town to

curriculum of great university.
Much was said touching elective
studies-about discipline, and what
should be required ofyouths on ell
tering college, and whether certain
studies should be required to Justify
the granting of a degree. But after
all what is the object of education.
Is 1t not TO fit the young man or
woman for their work in life. hence
they should be trained with view
to give them a sound mind in a sound
body. Their mental powers should
be exercised and disciplined, and
they should have such special school
ing as would enable them to make
a livelihood. An industrial training
should be given to every boy and girl,
while the university should fit stu
dents TO become scientists, artists.

Simply a Way 7 Have.

A Louisville girl who was visiting
here ii short time ago scored a signal
triumph over u fresh young society
man of this city. They were sitting
upon sofa together and as the con-
versation progressed he allowed his
arm to gradually fall down until he
had it around her waist.
She arose very indignant and he
made the following explanation and
apology: hope you will not think
anything of this. 1t is just way L
have. All the Memphis boys act the
same way and you will have to get
used TO it. hope you will not take
any otlense at il as it's just my
way"
She left the room but came back
in few minutes with Il married
friend and sat down on the sofa again.
Soon she began to yawn and give
every ostensible proof of being thor
oughly bored. Finally she said:
II am dreadfully sleepy and l hope
you will go home. You must not
lake any otlense at this. All the
Louisville girls act the same way.
You are exceedingly tiresome and
you had better go al once. DO not
be offended at this it is simply a way

Scnatc-Pagcs VS.. Reporters.

While we were employed to wait upon

attend to these matters, if thoy wore

OF 4 request. There were several news-
paper reporters i'll the gallery over the
Flrc-PrcSidcntS chair, to which l have
referred, who frequently ignored our
rights. a reporter would wish to ask
question OF Il senator, and, not caring
particularly to como down tho stairs
ana send i'll his card, would drop note
from the gallery, expecting ono Of us
to pick it y and hand it to tho senator
to whom it was addressed. This was
rather oilicious request sometimes, as
we were tired and worn out from OK
ccSslvc running, and would hardly feel
Ike going up to where the reporter
was, IN the roundabout way in which
we should have had TO 90, to deliver
INN the information called for, and
then come all the way back. But,
whether we were tired or full of activ-
ltN, we did not like the mattcr-of-coursC
manner in which some Of the reporters
had demanded our services, and we
would often let the note rcmain where
II had fallen on the carpet. Sometimes,
out OF puGnacity, we would surround
the paper and walk around it, gazing
at it apparently with great curiosity,
but cvincing no inclination to touch it.
Finally, when the reporter would lean
over the edge of the gallery, and, in a
very obScquiOuS manner, would bow
his head and smile and go through o

Disguised as q Dude.

One day there appeared on the streets
OF Texas town dude of the dudicst
type, and, of course, he was tho OBJ
served of all observers. He was quiet
in everything but his dress, and until
about o'clock in the afternoon he got
along very well, and at that hour he
went out for walk, and as ho passed
n saloon on the opposite side of the
street he was saluted by chorus of
yells from lot of cowboys assembled
in front.
''Put thimblc over it," "Tie blue
ribbon to it," ''Do it up in pink cot
tom "Grease it and slip it into knot
hole" "Give it to q tailor" and such
explanations rang out, and the dude
walked very slowly and took it all in.
Finally, Bolus Hankus, the terror,
shouted:
"Hold on, boys; sit still minnit and
watch tho fur fly. Stick your peppers
on to that tubular bilcr hat and see me
shoot hole cFar through it,"
Bolus pulled the gun, and tho other
boys stood back to enjoy the sport,
while tho dudJ walked slower than
ever.
Pop went the gun and the hat flew,
but tho dude, quicker than flash, whirl-
cd around, and a long, pearl-handlcd
revolver shone in the sunlight for an
instant and then cracked. Bolus' hat
jumped six feet off his head, and before
any of tho boys could think, five moro
hats jumped up after five little puffs of
smoke rose from tho other side, and
then the crowd, with q yell, broke
around the corner as if n cyclone had
been after them.
The dude smiled, and scratched his
chin rcflectivcly.
"Wcll," he said to himself, "clothes
does make some diff in u mans looks;
an I'm thinkin' if the boys he'd
knowed wuz Jim Bcardsley they'd O
let me had my little sport, and not got

Selecting n Guide.

From "Hunting tho Rocky Mountain
Goat" by William A. Baillie-G -Grohman,
in the December Ccntury, wo quote tho
following: "Tho first was known as
the fellow 'who could stand moro rest
than any other man in the territory or
III other words, was supposed to be the
LATEST man III Montana. The second
was rcputed to be q decidedly bad
man, an old-timc Virginia City vigi-
iantc, known throughout tho country
as Judge Ncverswcat, on account of
the cQuanimity of mind exhibited by
him at n certain most critical moment
of his life, when he held at bay, with an
"ntOadC1 revolver, four doomed and
desperate men, thirsting for his life and
their liberty. Judge Ncvcrswcat cvinc-

Cotcc, anyhow, as long as the whisky
don't peter out. His Indignation when
informed that this was not likely to oc-
cur, for the good reason that on prin-
ciplc we never took whisky on our
shootinG-trips, was at first rather anus
ing, then startling, TO behold. The
mere idea of u good time without un-
limited whisky was Il dire imposition,
an insult to frontier manhood. He was
too angry to give vent to the usual un-
bridlcd flow Of bad language; his other
wise loud voice toned down to an anorv
snarl, his eyes glittcrcd, his form grew
erect, his whole being assumed an aus
tcrcly diguiicd air; in one word, Judro
NcvcrSwcat became polite. 1t was

found, included call TO tho nearest

Wasn't Impressed.

Walter and his little sister arrived
early one morning in Albany, where,
with their mother they were to spend
the day with an old friend Of hers, who
has 4 home more elegant than the chill
drcn had ever seen. After quite an
elaborate breakfast, the children were
overheard III conversation by their
mother.
"Was.:t it lovrly?" Florence was
coniI'iing to her brother $50 many
things kept coming; and there was so
much glass, all different coIorS, and
such beautiful plates, and flowers, and
such lots Of fruit---!"
"Pooh!' Interrupted Waltor who in

"a glrl that can change rs suddenly as
she has towards Tom Wheeler must be
altogether hcartlcss."
Archie Redmond overheard one or
two other similar remarks during the
day, and watching Lotto closely, he
saw that while she gave him undoubtcd
encouragement, she yet seemed anxious
to not entirely break off with Tom.
lie was panied, for he had, uncon.
sciously to himself, become interested
in tho pretty sprightly girl.
'Sho is dcceiving cithor him or my.
self, he thought, "and in either case,
is not tho right sort of Il girl for me-"
"Tom," whispered Lottic, with one
of her sweet smiles, 'as Alice is to PC
home with her mother from the picnic,
I'LL ride back with you in the buggy.
I've told Mr.. Redmond that I'm too
tired for the long walk back"
''Ihank your said Tom coldly.
''But Alice won't ride homo with her
mother. I've promised to take her
homo in my buggy"
Lottie turned and looked around for
Archie Redmond. She would have to
explain, and walk back with him,
which was no disagreeablc prospect,
despite her declaration of woarincss.
The wcarinoSs, in fact, had been as
sumed; for she saw that Tom was not
pleased, and wished to pnt him in q
good humor again.
"Whcrc is Mr.. Rcdmond?" she said
hastily to Katie, who was at the mo-
mont skipping past.
"COusin Archie? oh, he's gone home
with the Culvcrts-Miss Calvor asked
him-and I'm going to ride home with
mamma and the rest. Not half so nice
as walking, is it?'
Poor Lottic! both her bow-strings
had failed hcr-a prcdicamcnt she had
not foreSeen, or, to accept Toms YER
sion, she had come to the ground be-
tween two stools.
However, kind ncighbor gave her
ga lift in his wagon, in which situa-
ton she had tho modification of seeing
Mr.. Redmond drive past in Mrs. Cal
vert's carriage, beside pretty May
Calvert, while Tom and Alice, in the
new buggy, had left them far behind
She was very angry with Tom,
though she had to admit to herself that
it was ali her own fault; and when she
LETT the farm few days after, she and
Iom hadn't quite made it up. neither
had Archie Redmond again called upon
her.
Lottic had promised to spend Christ
mas at the farm, and she madc up her
mind that she would be satisfied with
Tom, and marry him after all.
But before Christmas came she had
heard two astounding reports. Mr..
Archie Redmond was to be married to
his cousin, Miss Marion Redmond, and
Alice Brown was engaged to-Tom
Wheeler! There were to be two big
Weddings at Christmas, and Lotto
was invited to both.
There is no doubt but that she was
bitterly disappointed, for. as sho coa-
fcsscd, she really liked Tom.
But she had also to admit that only
herself was to blame. She had tried to
sit on two stools at once, and she had
come to the ground.
