The why to build up a town is to
bestow your custom, whatever may
be its character, upon some resident
of the town. If you want to buy 4
dress pattern or any other article of
dry goods go to one of your own
merchants and get it. In almost
every instance you will do better
than by going away from home to
do your trading. In this way you
will keep your money at home, and
build up home interests. The same
thing holds good in all other depart
ments of the trade.-[Las Animas

THE COWBOY OF THE BIBLE.


The "cowboy" is no recent inv en-
ton. If we had read the writings, of
Moses, tine historian, correctly, the re
were "cowboys" in the land of Ca
naan long before the 'rowdy west"
was discovered. We think that
Abram and Lot had ranches
there, "and there was strife be-
tween the herdsmen of Abrams cat
tie and Lots cattle" That is why
Moses reported it for daily press in
those days, but should such thing
occur here in Wyoming to-day, the
eastern newspaper dudes would come
out With four-line plea head lines
something like this: "rerrible battle
among the cowboys!" abrams COW
punches and Lot's bull-whackers get
into racket and shoot each other
SO full of holes that their hides won't
hold straw!" "Abe and Lot arbitrsle,
and the latter gets up aud dusts for
the plains of Jordon where there is
plenty of buffalo grsssl" That il
about the way the morning
dailies would dish it mp now. Even
old Sol was ranahman, and Dog,
an Edomite from indiana was fore
man and had a regiment of cowboys
in charge. Amos was cowboy in
Syra, and Moses himself at the round
up IN Egypt. Joel the cowboy got
sad and had the jim-jams because
the grass dried up on his Zion, and
Isaac was cattle-king in Gerar. So
it will be seen that the profession Of
cowboy has been an honorable one
from way back.-[Rowd West.

Don Eugenio Yrisarri is in receipt
of y letter from his chief herder in
Lincoln county, which conveys the
worst sort of bad news and the re-
port was confirmed by Mr. Kelly, a
representative of Gross, Blackwell
and Co.. who WAS in that city yesters
day. 1t is to the effect that on the
night of June End, a cold "norther"
passed over the northern edge OF
Lincoln county, accompanied by
hail in the shape of chunks of ice
larger than mans fist, and the dam
age to the sheep herds on the range
in that vicinity is almost incalcula-
BILE. Mr.. Yrisarri was fortunate in
having his herd located at distant
point, but some twenty miles south
of Fort Sumner, his brother, Jacobo
Yrisarri had 5000 sheep killed by
the hail; Talisfero Jaramillo lost 5,
900, and H. Zuber lost 1000 out of
his graded herd of 5000 Cotswool
and Merinos. That nightthe weather
turned Suddenly cold and 500 more
died from exposure aud chill. In all
it is reported that $4,000 head of
sheep were lost, several burros and
horned cattle were also killed, and
Mr.. Kelly states it is rumored that
tho hail killed two herders. On the
whole it was one of the most remark
able and disasterous storms ever re.
corded, and the total loss is esti-
mated by Mr.. Yrisarri to be between
$40, 900 and 100000.

EKrom the Cinclnnaai Ohio pustl
Recently gentleman interested IN the
subject Of dyspepsia. had occasion TO look
up statistics. and his report thereon Is
quite interesting. He finds that this COM
plant prevails principally among peo-
pie OF moderate living. and others of pre-
JUDGED views who oppose the use OF
stimulant in any form, and that among
the more wealthy classes and those who
maintain sideboard. there are compara-
lively few cases OF dyspepsia. He claims
that in England, where there are the most
immoderate eaters and gourmnnds OF the
world, and where the most indigestible
edibles are indulged-such as plum
pudding and veal pies at night-dyspepsia
Is almost unknown. Englishmen laugh
at the feeble and debilitated stomachs OF
Americans, and any American who has
travelled In England win tell how he was
ridiculed at the mention of dyspepsia
Their exemption from diseases OF this
kind, this writer claims, il due entirely to
the stimulants they drink with their
meals-children as well as grown people,
Of all ages-and yet despite this free use
Of stimulant, there is comparatively little
drunkenness among the English. He goes
further to say. that there Is q natural, in
born craving for stimulation, and on ac-
count or the great varities and indigesti-
BILE qualities OF the food of the present
dag. stimulant is as necessary as the food
itself: lt - question, he maintains,
whether the people OF this country are
not straining their ideas and prejudices
against the use OF stimulants TO dan
gerous extent and to the destruction OF
the health OF the people. This stupid op-
position to q judicious use of the same, es-
pecIally when we have a pure article like
Duffy's pure malt whiskey, has done more
harm and been the cause OF more misery
las evidenced by the thousands of dys-
peptics and other invalids whose COM
plants are directly traceable to imperfect
digestion-than could ever arise from
even a free indulgence in the use OF
liquors. The waste and decay OF the lungs
is always closely associated with. and fol-
lows almost directly upon, weakened
stomach and impaired digestion, and In

The Unlversallsy or Inventions.

We DO not often stop to think how
little man has or enjoys that is not the
fruit Of invention. Things which man
has long had we cease to think of as in
yentions, and we arc apt to apply that
term only to modern things-to things
the origin OF which we know. Yet II
will be hard for any Of as to name any
thing which we use or enjoy which Ia
not an invention, or the subject of an
invention, in its adaptation to our use.
The air we breathe and the water we
drink are provided BY Nature. But we
drink but very little water except from
q cup or vessel of some kind, which is 4
human invention. Even il we drink
from the shell of gourd, we are using
thing which, in the shape we use it. il
human contrivance. and the contriv-
ances which man has devised for obtain-
ing water and distributing It have been
among the most wonderful and inpeni-
Gus OF any wkich have occupied the hu-
man mind. Bountifully as Nature has
provided water and placed it within the
reach of man, yet we do in fact get or
use but little Of 1t except by the aid of
inventions.
The air surrounds us at all times
and we cannot help using it if we
would; but if we want it either hotter or
colder than we find it, we must resort to
some invention to crafty our want. III
we want it to blow upon us when it is
still, we must set it in motion bv some
contrlvance, and fans among other
things have been invented for that pur-
pose. A large amount of human in
genuity has been expended upon devices
for moving air when we want it moved.
upon fans, blowers, and ventilators.
How small part of our food do we
take as animals do, in the form provided
BY Nature, and how very large share
in some form contrived by mani We
drink infusions of tea or coffee without
thinking that the compounds are human
inventions. How large place the milk
OF the cow has in the food of man, but
how little of it could we have but for
a multitude of contrivanccsl We think
Of butter as we do of milk, that it is a
production of Nature; and SO it IS. but
its separation from milk is an invention
which has been followed BY host of in
ventions to effect the separation easier
or better.
Sugar is a production of Nature, but
little known few hundred years ago.
Separated form the plants in which It is
formed, it is an invention of man. The
savage who first crushed some kernels
OF wheat between two stones, and separ-
ated the mealy interior from the outer
