Two lieutenants were selt by Scott to Dixon, Illinois to muster the new soldiers. One of the lieutenants wa, very fascinating young mn, of easy manners, and affabie disposition; the other was equally pleasant but extremely modest. On the morning when the muster was to take place, tall, glwky. slab sided, homely young mln, dressed in d suit of blue jeans, presented hlmself to the lleu;enAnts as the captain ol the recruits, and was duly sN orn in. The homely young mn was Abraham Lincoln. The ba,hful lieutcn mt was he who af,erward fred the first gun from Fort Sumter, Major Anderson.

Ode to Buffalo Girl.

 Will the Buffalo girl come out tonight And dance by the light of the moon' On the elevator-tower it fickers bright, The lunar orb of June; And aa underfea poet can dance as light As fay in silver shoon. O Buffalo girl with the wealthy pop, And the flour mills huge a nd high, There's a wonderful charm to which poets drop,
 In your tender azure .; l could rhyme for y. with never a stop To the saceharine by-and-by. O Buffalo girl, your great big lake Is duck pond beside my heart That throbs and throbs till it's nigh to break,
 And tis you that have caused it smart, O rise and give the eternal shake To the fate that keeps us apart! O Buffalo girl, come out tonight, And elope by the light of the moon And Wagner car shall aid our flight. As we skip meath the sky of June; And your parent will probably do what's $ nght,
 Ana come down with the seads full soon.

Bob Burdette Takes On the Bediamondsd
 Hotel Clerk.

The bravest man ever saw in civil life was night clerk in Kansas City hotel. About midnight the porter came in vexed about something, and strode up to the desk. Leaning across the register he grabbed the clerk by the collar and shook him until his diamond went out. I thought then the man seemed disturbed and his language immediately confirmed my suspicion. "You miserable little snipe," he roared; w've a mind to come around there and stab ye with yer pen, ye sneakin' taletellin' little whelp! If ye wur worth killin' I'd break yer dirty neck afore I'd let go of ye spike legged son of thief. Waugh" And so saying he hurled the clerk under the counter, threw the inkwell down on him, pitched the register across the room, and savagely kicking the chair in which I sat from under me, he went out into the night, whither l somewhat regretted that l had not gone some hours before. But the clerk amazed me. He was on his feet almost before the irate porter kicked my chair. Defiance burned in his eyes, a little dimly, it is true, but I could see that the fire was started.
 "See-see-see here" he said, his voice faint and tremulous with rage. 'I-I-lookee here, m-Mister Trunk, slammer, I-I don't want you to m-make so much noise-you'll- you'll disturb the guests and I'm get into trouble.

(Porter goes out of the door). "Get out o'here you big-mouted sucker, or I'll bounce you in a minute " (Porter slams the door after him like can non). "Shut that door (forte) you white-livered coyote or I'll cut your heart out before you can squeak Git!" jumping over the counter and hastening slowly toward the door. "Git! and be lively about it ii you don't want hole kicked clear through you! Come back here!" he howled, his hand upon the door knob. "Come back here, and I'll mop up the floor with you! He's gone," he added, softly opening the door and looking cautiously down the dark, deserted street. "There he goes streaking it down the street like a scared dog. What made you let him kick you that way?" he said to me in naughty scorn. "Why didn'tyou shoot the dirty dog? I'd done it, if he'd a come within reach of me-" And with lofty scorn at my miserable coward, ice, the indignant clerk gave me a room close under the roof, with a camp bed, no chair, tin wash-basin, one towel and piece of indestructible flint soap in it. And as l followed the bell boy to my apartments the clerk looked pityingly alter me and 1 heard him say to himSelf "God, but 1 do hate coward!"-Bro)klyn Eagle.

Abuse and Misuse of Cow Ponies.

Now that the ranchmen of the en- tire country are beginning in dead earnest to put into practice every con ceivable kind of economy, they should continue the good work until it has been carried out to perfection and until their business has been so thor oughly systematized and economical features introduced in every depart ment to the extent necessary to bring their expenses down to the lowest amount possible consistent with good and effectual work. There are many ways by which ranchmen, especially cattlemen, may economize. The one, however, to which the Two Republics wishes to direct special attention at this time is the use and treatment of COW ponies. During the hurrah days of the cattle business these poor ami mals were often neglected and abused to an extent that would have justified the intervention of the most stringent measures for the prevention of cruelty to animals. With the modern inn proved methods of handling cattle on the range, much of this misuse and abuse has been dispensed with, in fact, 1t IS now only in certain locali- ties that any very great cause for com plaint can be found. The COW pony should secure the best possible treat ment and no abuse or unnecessary punishment on general principles and out of the promptings of every ones humane feelings for all living crea- lures. Leaving the humane part of the question, the Two Republics de- sires to ask at the hands of the cattle raisers better treatment of the COW ponies as a matter of economy. It is ust less expense to use one hundred ponies where fifty will do the work. A surplus or unnecessary number are dead, non productive stock. The mum. Der in use can in many instances be greatly diminished by requiring bet. ter treatment at the hands of those who ride them. The habit so fash ionable among cowboys of always go- ing on the "keen jump" should be broken up. The ponies will have plenty of running to do if only re- quired of them when actually necess- ary. They should never, under any circumstances, be beaten and thump- ed about as is now so often done. Their back should not be required to carry a saddle weighing fifty or sixty pounds when enc of half that weight would answer every purpose. When mol actually at work they should be allowed access to plenty of good grass ana Water. In these and many other ways they can be saved unnecessary Wolk and abuse, enabling them to do twice the amount of work that should bc required of them, and in this way  largely decreasing the number of puules required to do the work. If Caltlemen would have their business continue profitable they must econo- mlze in every possible way, and in no one department Can il be inaugurated tc better advantage than In stopping the abuse and misuse of the COW pon- ies.-Two Republics.
