+. ii. Cowles, the well known cattle
man, has gone to Gibbon, Neb., to
look after his interests there. Mr..
Cowles was among the first to embark
in the cattle business in this section,
and has made Miles City his home.
He is firm friend of this city and
puts much faith in its future. He still
retains interests here which will call
him back before many weeks elapse.
On his farm in Nebraska he conducts
cattle feeding on an extensive scale,
but what pleases him the most is being
out on the range looking after few
thousand head of steers.

Line to the Black Hills,

A gentleman who came In from
Deadwood on the stage Wednesday
morning states that track laying on
the Deadwood branch of the Chicago
Il Northwestern road, north from Buff
falo Gap, will begin on or about May
18th, and continue without Interrupt
tion to a completion as far as entered
at the United States land office, or to
the west side of Whitewood. This en-
tension he says will kill Rapid City,
which has been built up at an unpre-
cedented rate since the Northwestern
road made 1t its terminus. The first
shovelful of dirt thrown on the grade
north of the town will cause COM
plete collapse of the town. The con-
tracts for the construction of this
branch have been let, and it
is expected that the contractor
will put a large force Of
men to work to have the line COM
pleted west to the Wyoming line so as
to capture the cattle from the Union
Pacific railway, and then turn to the
Black Hills branch, which will be ex-
tended to Whitewood, if not to Dead
wood by the lst of October. A large
number of graders are being trans-
ferred from the line between Dead
wood and the Gap by the main line,
which, it is said, will be constructed
fifty miles west of Cbadron, when all
hands will return to the Hills branch.
Deadwood may not quite get the road
this year but she will come near to 1t.

Going Into Battle.

| don't believe any man ever went into a
battle without feeling frightened. l know |
never did. I'll tell you when a man feel,
real badly. It's when he is forming into line
for n big battle. while little skirmishing fire
is kept up all the time. Every minute or so
some one, may be your best friend, standing
right next to YOU, will shrek out: ooh nv
God, !" and fall back dead, yet you cannot lie,
your men fire.for the army must be drawn w
first. There is plenty of time to think You
dare to retaliate in any wav. The next bull
let must find your heart, and your children
will be left fatherless. 1t is moment that
tries the bravest man. because he has to stand
quiet and take it all. But when the order
comes to fight and the excite ment of the bat
tie arises fear passes away. You have some
thing to do. You have a duty to perform a,
any cost. Bullets drive into the ground at
your feet, sending up little clouds of dust
They whistle past your ears and maybe cut
holes in your clothing. Shells and shrapnel
kill your comrades and leave you living, and
soon there comes feeling that some good
fortune has preserved you and will protect
you, and the desire to do as much damage tc
the enemy alone fills your mind. That was
my experience in the army, and don't be.
lieve the man lives who did not feel at the
commencement of fight that he would rath
er be somewhere else. GEO. W. STONE.

Slow Eating.

The idea of rest and recreation and DELHI
Grafton in eating no longer occupies the
thought of the American boy, much less of
the business man Yet the power of ones
life depends as much upon this as upon any
one conduct of life. The relation of the
chewing and the juices of the mouth to the
after digestion, all along the digestive track,
and to that assimilation which is to give force
and vigor to work, is such that we cannot af-
ford to forget the essential relationship The

quent limitation upon the forceful life than
any one disability. A thorough digestion
not only leaves the mind clear and placid,
but so provides the physical and mental ma
chinery with its propelling power as to make
thought as natural as if it were a physical
function. 1t is not difficult to see in the work.
as well as in the writing of some men, the
traces of bad physical condition. Emerson

Of mankind. We believe that the foupda-

TIE OLD RED SLEIGH.

II is out of fashion, odd and old,
But to me 'tis worth its weight in gold,
For my father owned it years ago
When we lived in the farmhouse, long and low;
How proud felt, the very first day
rode around in the old red sleigh!
You see tits mended, here and there
Where the paint has worn, and left 1t bare
And 1t forms a mark for many jokes
For it doesn't look like other felix's;
But let them laugh and have their say
III always keep the old red sleigh
When it twas young and knew lite's joys"
1t carried loads of girls and boys;
And one with sunny, floating curls,
Was more to me than other girls,
And many a word of love we'd say
In the low back seat Of the old red sleigh.
Nancy and would often ride
In the sleigh together, side by side; ..r,
And we promised once, when the moon shone still
To walk together lifes steep hill;
And we took our wedding ride one day,
Happy as kings, in the old red sleigh.
But the boys were growing smart and tall
And the old sleigh didn't suit at all
And Fred at last began to tell
How che wouldn't ride in that old she'll"
And SO went to town one day
And barganed there for bran-new sleigh.
1t was light and fancy anG easy too,
But we old folks couldn't make it do
For it was painted and striped SO fine
| never felt as If it was mine.
And in spite OF all the boys could say
We always rode in the old red sleigh.
Those days are gone. Bright, laughing Fred
IL sleeping the sleep of the quiet dead;
Dick has built him house on the hill,
And none of the boys are home but VIII.
He is kind to his father and mother gray
And takes good care of the old red sleigh.
All, well, the ties of the past are strong,
And some may laugh who read my song;
But when | think Of those vanished years,
l cannot stop the falling tears;
And there's nothing on the farm To-Day
SO dear to my heart as the old red sleigh.

A SPLENDID FELLOW.

DelmOnico's is where he dimes
On quail on toast, washed down with wines;
Then lights a t~ enty-cent cigar
With quite flourish at the bar.
He throws his money down, SO proud,
And "sets 'em up'' for all the crowd;
A dozen games of billiards, too,
lie gaily loses ere he's through.
Oh, he's a splendid fellow, quitel
He pays his debts with such delight,
And often boasts OF to his clan
His honor as a gentleman.
But, when this splendid fellows wife,
Who leads at home frugal life,
Begs for little change to buy
A dress, he looks at her SO wry
That she. alarmed at his distress,
Gives him kiss ana sweet caress,
And says: Don't worry SO. my dear;
I'll turn the dress l made last year"

The Engineer of a Steamer
RELATES SOME EXPERIENCES CONNECTED
WIrH HIS LIFE UNDER WATER.

fsLife under water monotonons, eh wen
guess not. At least, l don't find it so. I've
been there fourteen years OF and on, and
have always managed to find enough TO occu-
DIV nv time and attention" The speaker
was an engineer on one of the great ocean
steamers. and as he made the remark to re-
porter, while standing on the pier, before his
vessel, he readjusted his loose blouse with an
awkward Jerk, and gave his head a confident
witch.
IA fellow needn't let time lag ON him any,
where if he only had his eyes opened" he
added. Now to some it would seem almost
unbearable to watch the continuous throb OF
the machinery of a large steamer and hear
nothing but the everlasting click, click OF the
piston rods and levers, out to me they all
sound like music. I've become partly dulled
and insensible to them, but even now l often
sit still and watch and listen to their never
VARYING beats with that sort of satisfaction
which a musician feels when he runs his fiu-
gers mechanically yet skillfully over the keys
of his instrument. His satisfaction arises
from the fact that he has the instrument en-
tirely under his control, and mine comes from
a similar cause. With touch of my finger |
could propel thousands of tons at almost
any speed through the water, or send hun
dred lives into eternity. Indeed. Ieel tnat
am the sole responsible party on board for
the lives of the passengers, as it remains with
me TO keep my machinery in such perfect
condition as to withstand any ordinary sea or
rough storm.
"And again, take pride in keeping every
thing around me shining like FURNISHED gold.
If spot of grease or dirt gets on the rods OF
handles Of any part of the machinery, it can
not escape my notice long. l go over every
part of the engine room twice day, and rub
the brass and steel rods with as much pleas
ure as though owned the steamer myself |
sometimes amuse myself in keeping record
of the number Of miles we run an hour and
comparing it with the records of previous
trips | have on book in the engine room
a curious table of dates and figures, which
shows to me the exact time for every mile
made by different steamers which have en-
gneered across the ocean for the last four
teen years. If anything more than usual oc-
ours, jot it down opposite the date, and so
make sort of diary of it. 1t speaks vol
umes to me, and recalls many interesting vol
memories. ~ Y Tribune.

Ever since the purchase of Florida from
Spain in 1921 the United States Government
has taken much interest in the island of Cuba.
Its contiguity to our coasts, and its position
at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, give it
an importance that has not been overlooked
In 1925, under President John Quincy Adams
administration, some diplomatic correspon-
dence was carried on between the Spanish
authorities and Mr.. Clay, our Secretary of
State. Spain proposed that in return for GER
tain commercial concessions the United
States should guarantee to her the perpetual
possession of Cuba. This proposition was
declined, however, as contrary to the general
policy of the United States, though it was
averred that should the island ever be in dam
ger of passing into the hands of a strong
maritime power, as the British or French, our
Government would promptly step in to pro-
tect it. President Adams and Mr.. Clay cher
ished the plan of buying Cuba believing that
this measure would greatly strengthen their
administration at the South. But on making
overtures to this effect to Spain they were to-
tally refused. In lS48, the continued tyran-
MES of Spain having aroused much discomfort
on the island. the subject of purchase was
again agitated. President Polk authorized
the American Minister at Madrid to offer
100000, 900 for Cuba, but the proposition
was rejected in the most peremptOry manner.
In lS49-5l several expeditions were fitted out
on American soil against the Spanish govern
government in Cuba by General Lopez, but
in the interest of neutrality the United
States Government checked their operations
as far as it was able to do so. In 1854
Messrs. Buchanan. Mason, and Soue, United
States Ministers at London, Paris, and Mad
rid, respectively, held conference at Ostend
and drew up a statement which is popularity
known as the Ostend manifesto. In this it is
argued that that Cuba ought to belong to the
United States. and that Spain will do well to
sell it. A proposition was also urged in the
United Senate in 1859 to place $50. 900. 900
in the hands of the President with a view to
the purchase of the island, but after debate
this was withdrawn by its author, Mr.
Slidell The question has not since that time
found its way into American politics, though
the United States has more than once offered
to mediate between the Cubans and the Span
ish authorities during the frequent revou-
tiouary outbreaks Oh the island.
