"Thcre are some mighty green men
in this world" said the passenger
from the West, "and l struck one of
'em a week or two AGO. If | hadn't
l wouldn't be here now. Last spring
| went out into Western Nebraska
and homesteaded a quarter section.
I hadn't seen the land, but took it
supposin' it was all right, But when
| got there | found it already inhab-
tied. About $50 acres of the 100
were covered with q prairie-dog town.
Well, l concluded to settle down and
see what | could do, and I'm mighty
glad now that I did. About two
weeks ago l was up to the railroad
station trying to get trusted for some
bacon and flour and terbacker, an
feelin' right smart discouraged. |
was out of money and grub, and the
winter was comm on fast, an ]
couldn't see any way out of it but to
eat prairie dogs, an they're mighty
hard to catch. But that day was the
turning point in my luck. While ]
was at the station an Englishman got
off the cars, an said as how he was
out West lookin' fer a place to make
an investment. Said he'd heard O
the fur business, an wanted to know
if he was out in the fur country yet.
stFurs' says I, there hain't no f.
an just then an idea struck me, an ]
changed my tune. 'Furs,' says l
there hain't no better fur countr,
than this on 'arth. Just come out tx
my place till l show you my furfagm.
"And he Went out with me, an
showed him the prairie-dog town, an,
as luck would have it, it was a bright
sunny day, an the dogs was Oh
sceotln' around by the hundreds.
"Talkin' about furs, says l, swha
dye think of that? I've been 81:
years CROWN those mink, an hahn
sold 4 hide. It's all natural increase
Guess they'se bout seven thousand 0
'em now, an they double every year
How many will there be in ten years?
"You oughter see that English
mans eyes open as he took out hi
pencil and figured it up. He made
7,l6s,O0O mink.
"sWell,' says I, call it 100000
to be on the safe side. 1t won't COS
me 81 to keep 'em, either, an if the
are worth a cent they are worth $
apiece. There's a million in IT,"
"Then We got right down 20 bus
ness, an in less than an hour l ha
sold out for $1,000 cash, al
the next day I paid 1920 for til
homestead at the land Office, g,
my patent, transferred it to him an
took the first train for the Eas:. Ste

We had a call the other day from
a young man who is old enough to
have a girl but not old enough to
show signs of feathers or his upper
lip, and while setting forth in glow
ing terms the many good qualities Of
his girl, was trying to light a cigar.
He was so absorbed in his subject
that he placed the lighted match in
his mouth and held the cigar up to
the blaze and pulled away for dear
life and not until his nose had re-
ceived a good coat of red did he come
to the conclusion that his girl was
not so id good after all.

A Fatat Worm in a Woman's Lung.

During the year 1857 or185s, n of my
neighbors had a negro woman taken sick.
AS haas a man who read, observed and
thought, he rarely ever called in a physi-
clan to treat an ordinary disease in his
family. But this case bafled his skill
and I was called in to advise with him.
The woman had been sick about a week,
all the time suffering the most %excruciat-
ing pain and referring to her hip JOINT,
and for several days her cries had been
almost incessant. Blisters had been ap-
piled and the usual constitutional treat
ment for acute diseases of the hip joint,
but to no purpose. I will never forget
the unspeakable agony expressed In her
c%ountenance. Her breathing was hurried.
Her cries feeble, yet heart rending. An
examination revealed no soreness or swell
ing about the hip, and it was evident
that she had mislecated the pain. Aus
cultation and percussion showed that
there was an occlusion of the air cells
throughout the right lung. She died
that night. An autopsy revealed next
day no trace of disease in the hip, but
exhibited a worm one and three-quartel
inches long in her lung. 1t was white,
fiat, with q black head, resembling close.
" the common wood sawyer. Such
worms | have seen in the mud of springs
and branches. I suppose she swallowed
it while drinking. I traced the track
of the intruder through the coats OF he
stomach into her liver, thence bacl
through her diaphragm into her lung
What will appear most strange to tn
physician, she neither coughed or es pee
torated. 1 refer the incredulous to Col
onel w. II. Mattox, his father, and Uncl
John w. Mattox, who witnessed tn
autopsy. saw the worm and his path Q
destruction.

EnfEMY,t9s0 RepgOOf.

There is perhaps no better test of
mans character than the way in which
he bears himself under just reproof.
Every man makes mistakes; every man
commits faults; but not every man has
the honesty and meekness to acknowl
edge his errors, and to welcome the criti-
cisms which point them out to him. Il
is rarely difficult for us to find an excuse
we are looking for. It is, in fact, al.
ways easier to spring to an angry defense
of ourselves, than to calmly acknowledge
the justice Of another's righteous condem.
nation Of some wrong action of ours; but
10 refuse to adopt this latter course,
when we know we are wrong is to revea
TO u better consciousness of others, an
essential defect in our character.
That man is strong who dares to con-
fess that he is weak; he is always totter-
ing to a fall who needs TO bolster up the
weakness of his personality by all sorts OF
Transparent shams. It is not In vain that
Scripture says: GReprove one that has
understanding, and he will understand
knowledge;;n for m Of the estevidencea
Of the possession of that discreet self
government which stands at the basis Of
moral strength, and n Of the best means
Of gaining it when it is lacking, is just
this willingness to accept merited reproof,
and to profit BY it when accepted.-Dasg

Have You ever met the sarcastic young
womana MOI You will find her every

L a cross between a tartar and a taran-
tula. She is a pest. The giddy girl, the
laekadaisical miss are not ornaments
whose loss would cause the world grief,

many hate her. Her stock in trade may
originally have been satire, but has long

With the degeneration has slipped away
