rom an Eastern Paper,

From an Eastern Paper.
A female suffragist, writing letter
extolling the purifying influence of
women voting in Wyoming, relates
this incident as happening at the late
election in Cheyenne:
1t is a popular belief that a woman
will vote just as her husband, father,
or brothers do; but this is emphati-
cally mistake. If the ticket of hus-
band suits the wife she will vote it; if
not, she will vote against him. This
does not, as might be inferred, cause
quarrelingin the family. Ifahusband
cannot convince his wife that she is
wrong, or wife cannot bring her hus-
band to her way of thinking, they
march Or ride to the polls together
and vote directly opposite tickets.
In this connection will give an anus
ing incident which occurred at the
Carbon county election. A foreman
OF the building department of the
Union Pacific road had been laboring
for week to convert his wife to his
political faith, but she remained proof
to all his argumentatived darts. Final
ly, election day, he told her that one
of their votes would simply kill the
other, and said he W ould refrain from
voting if she would. To this she as
sented, and kissing her good-by he said
he would go to the shops. He had
been gone but few moments when
she donned her hat and cloak, and
placing ticket which she had procur-
ed the previous day in her pocket
went to the polls in roundabout
way, avoiding the shops where her
husband worked. She reached the
voting place, and when the crowd sep
arated to allow her to pass through
she hurried up and met her husband
face to face at the window, each with
a ticket in hand. They laughed heart
lily at each others treachery and bad
faith, upbraided each other, land, lock-
ing arms, went home"

London Standard.
A singular story comes from the
province of Limburg, on the Dutch
frontier. The owner of q large man.
ufactory, who had married young and
was left a widower, had an only daugh-
ter, to whom all the most desirable
young men in the neighborhood were
paying attention. Her father noticed
that she treated them all with indlf-
ference and showed marked prefer
ence for a young clerk of his, an or
phan, with no means but his salary.
As he had always given the greatest
satisfaction in the performance of his
duties and was exceedingly we'll con-
Quoted, the father, persuaded that he
would never venture to raise his eyes
to his daughter, who evidently was
sincerely attached to him made up his
mind to broach the matter to him.
What was his surprise when the young
clerk, after much hesitation, told him
he would be only too happy to regard
the young lady as a sister, but he
could not marry her, because he was
net a man but g. young woman in
disguise-a disguise she had adopted
when left an orphan in order to get q
more lucrative situation. The con-
clusion to this story is that. instead
of marrying the daughter, she is now
the wife of the father.

Men Dressed as Women.

Detective Desmond in St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Women's clothes make the most
foolish disguise in the world for man
to assume when he wants to make a
success of concealing his indentity,
for there is not any man living capa-
BILE OF counterfeiting q woman's walk
sufficiently well to deceive an ordinary
student OF human nature. There Is q
swing and peculiar step to even the
most masculine of women that the
wearer of pantaloons can not dupli-
cate. Just look at the female imper-
senators on the stage; their walk gives
them away at once, despite their high
heeled shoes and a certain atroclous
wiggle that they acquire in learning
their art. 1t was his walk that be-
trayed Express-robber Page recently,
when he was passing from the cars to
a meal station dinning-room. | can
not exactly explain the difference be-
tweena woman's walk and mans,
but you will be able to appreciate it
when you hear this story. A French
detective was after All important
criminal, whom he knew to be disguis
ed as a female. He followed his trail
closely until he located him in GER
tain railway car. That car was
crowded with women, and, after
studying over some scheme for finding
his man, he took an apple and tossed
it towards a party in crinoline whom
he strongly suspected OF being the
criminal. The ruse succeeded. The
party saw the apple coming and put
up his hands and brought his legs to-
gether so as to have q double chance
OF cathing the fruit. That settled
him. The detective followed the di-
rection OF the apple, and, putting his
hand on his shoulder, said: you're
my prisoner. You see, if it had
been a woman, instead of bringing the
knees together at such a time, as a
man always does, she would have
spread her knees apart so as to catch
the apple in her lap.

STOCk.RAISING.
Conveniences Whose Introduction VIII
Avoid Waste and Save Labor.

Conveniences Whose Introduction Will
Avoid Waste aud Save Labor.
Stock-raising should be done in a
systematic manner. II is well enough
to provide plenty of feed, and keep the
pasture productive. but the profits OF
stock-raising are increased in nropor-
ton rs the cost is diminished. Every
farmer will admit that the heaviest ex-
penses are for items in which labor cn-
tiers rs an important factor. To cheaper
the labor is not only TO allow of larger
profits. but also to increase the facili-
ties for keeping more stock. No farmer
should attempt TO keep stock who has
not made arrangements for shelter,
with an abundance of feed OH hand for
the purpose. 1t is in the economical use
of the feed that he secures the greatest
gain. but this economy should not con-
,ist of saving in the quantity of food.
but in securing from the food the
largest proportion of available nutri-
mcnt possible. 1t is not the mount OF
food eaten that imparts growth and
weight. but the quantity digcsted.
While the internal organs of the ami
NAL may influence the digestibility Of
the food. the habits of the animal have
some influence also. The farmer, there
fore. must provide himself with all tho
implements necessary for properly pre-
pairing the food, and each animal must
have all the convcnicnccs necessary for
enabling it to appropriate the food
easily and with the least difficulty. II
will not do, therefore, 10 crowd
them, or compel competition. 1t
may be apparently an easy method
TO turn the stock upon stack of straw
or cornstalks. and allow the stack TO
be picked over or trampled by the ami
mails. and though such process may
save labor. it will be ut the expense Of
loss of much valuable food that might
be better utilized il the farmer would
provide himself with all the necessary
facilities for saving his food and assist
ing his stock TO derive the greatest
benefit thercfrom. System and good
management means to avoid waste aud
save labor. Farm, Field and StocI-
man,
