Advice.

Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle a hoe
or a pen, wheelbarrow or set Of
books. digging bitches or editing
paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must
work. If you look around, my son,
YOU will see the men who are the
most able to live the rest of their
days without work are the men who
work the hardest. Don't be afraid
OF killing yourself with overwork. 1t
is beyond your power to do that on
the sunny side of thirty. They die
sometimes, but it's because they quit
work at 6 p. M. and don't get home
until 2 A. NJ. It's the interval that
kills, my son The work gives You
an appetite for your meals, it lends
solidity to your slumbers, il gives
you perfect and grateful appreci-
alton of a holiday There are young
men who do not work, my son, bat
the world is not proud Of them. II
does not know their names, even
it simply speaks of them as old So
and SOS boys. Nobody cares for
them the great. busy world doesn't
know that they are there. So find
on! what you want to be and do,
my son, and take off your coat and
create dust IL the world.--BuTdete.

II is the rule for the men of the
plains, and particularly for cowboys
to speak most contemptuously OF

hat with an immensely broad brim,
and band consisting either of a
leather strap and buckle, or of a
silk twist like whip lash. These
are expensive, like fine Panama,

seventy-fye dollars. A cowboy
must also have a pair of fancy

The Story of a Shirt.

A tall. lean, lank man from Illi-
nois had his feet upon the table In
the reading room at Willard's to-
night, while he alternately looked
at the ceiling and at "two-for-five"
which persistenly refused to draw.
The fire in his cigar gradually dwin-
died out and the lean man SORROW
fully but carefully laid 1t away in
his vest pocket for future reference.
Turning around to party Of friends
who were sitting near him he said:
Boys. have you ever heard The
Tale of the Shirt?' No? Well now
that is one of the most peculiar
pIanks that politics ever played
upon Illinois. In 'S4 district con-
vention was held in Peoria to elect
delegates to the Democratic Nation
al Convention. Among the men
who tried to be sent to the Peoria
convention was S. Corning Judd.
He was defeated, as usual but he
came down nevertheless to see the
boys have their fun. Now, among
the delegates were Mike Corcoran,
and his chum and bosom friend
Bad Jim Connorton. Mike is
comic-looking fellow. He is about
twice as wide as he Is high and he
loves a good time better than any
body | know. Mike and Bad jim
roomed together. The nigtt before
the convention Bad Jim came in
full of fun and some other things
that you take out of a bottle. He
saw the peaceful Mike sleeping and
the spirit OF mischief entered him.
"On a chair was Mikes shirt. 1t
was undoubtedly the biggest shirt in
Peoria. Carefully opening the win
dow, he dropped the undergarment
to the ground, and his delight was
somewhat intensified when he saw
a passing tramp disappear with it
in the darkness. Closing the window
be put out the light and got into bed.
You can just believe that there was
a howl when Corcoran awoke in the
morning and couldn't find his shirt,
for, as true disciple of Jeffersonian
simplicity, he had only one with
him. Bad Jim and four bell |
boys secured the town after a shirt |
that would fit him, but all in vain. /
In the meanwhile the time for the |
meeting of the convention was draw
ing nigh. To make a long story
short, Corcoran gave Judd his proxy /
and Judd entered the convention as
a delegate. By one of these curious
twists of politics he was elected to
90 to the national convention. His
luck didn't desert him there, and he
was made the member of the Demo-
cratic national committee from Hi
nois. When President Cleveland /
began TO look about him for a man
to succeed Postmaster Palmer at |
Chicago he lit upon Judd. / don't |
know what Bad Jim has bagged |
out of this deal, but he ought to
have something, for if he hadn't !
thrown Corcoran s shirt out of the
window Judd would never have /
been where he is now. That, gen
tlemen, Is my tale of shirt ,"

Management of Young Lambs.

The sooner the young lambs are
docked, and the males emascalated,
the easier the operations may De per-
formed. We have been in the hab-
it OF going through the flock once a
week with pair of sharp sheep
shears. and clipping the tails and
castrating by one single clip. The
lamb is held under the left arm, and
the skin of the tail Is slipped up to-
ward the root with the fingers ofthis
hand ;.the tail Is then clipped of
with the shears. A pinch of pow
dered blue-stone (sulpaatt of cop
per-, is put on the wound. and the
wool is drawn down aud matted to-
gether with the little blood that es.
capes. Nothing more is required
and the wound heals quickly, the
lamb evincing no indications of suf-
fering. 1t Is best to cut the tail
about two inches from the root, SC
as to leave sufficient of it to escape
injury if the stump does not heal IA
vorably, and the joint next to the
en-: sloughs off this, however, rare

The New Style In Women.

The super-sentimental, bighly es-
tnetic, spare hmbed and thin chest
ed young woman has had her day
She has been laid on the shelf beside
the listless German-dancing, cane
sucking billiard-plsying youth
whose biceps are smaller than those
of a welLdeveloped 10-year-old boy,
and whose rectur femorus cannot be
discovered upon close anatomical
examination. 1t is impossible to
account for the morbid taste which
only few years ago made it so fash
ionable for a maiden 10 be lank, pale
and we believe the word interest
ing was always used iu describing
her. The human mind cannot in
vent satisfactory explanation Of
why languid, dyspeptic girl should
have been considered more interest
ing than one with strong limbs, full
chest, plump cheeks cainteda bright
red by healthful circulation. and
bright eyes but it Is a melancholy 7
fact that she was so regarded, and
girls who had the misfortune to be
well-deyeloped and in vigorous
health had to take to vinegar and
slate pencils in order to undo the
work of God to fit the latest fashion
OF man-woman rather. Happily,
this idiocy, which, we regret to say,
was purely American in its origin,
is almost cured. For a wonder, il is
now the fashion for women to he as
healthy as she can. Fresh ar Is ad-
mitted to be a good thing for the
complexion no one disputes that
girl who is not an invalid can walk
five miles a dav without dying of IA
tigue, and an hours canter on a good
horse is recommended as more help
fnl pastime than lying abed or read
ing French novels.
The new stvle in women has not
arrived q bit too soon. American
women were getting to be a worthless
lot; sprightly enough in intellect
perhaps too sprightly-but painful
ly deficient in bodily development
and health. But they were not en-
tirely to blame. Degenerate man
| seemed to like them that way-pos-
sibly because ne was in the same
fix himself. To the credit Of woman
be it said that she would rather be
round-limbed, strong of chest, fair
of cheek and bright Of eye: and it is
a notable fact that as soon as the
rising male generation took to ath-
letics and to braeing up generally
the girls promptly followed the
good example.

making mortal wound. His next
shot killed Constable Parker's horse.
This was followed by otker shots,
injuring horses and grazing some OF
the men.
Meantime the pursuers, whose
number had largely increased, kept
firing their revolvers, but the despe-
rado was out of shot range. As the
crowd began to close in on him, he
jumped from his horse and, running
into Charles Johnson barn, be
opened lively fire through the
cracks and openings, and held the
entire crowd, now numbering fully
100, at bay. They finally cautiously
surrounded the barn, and carefully
guarded themselves from the fire of
the barricaded desperate. They
continued to shoot into the barn at
frequent intervals until dark. 1t
was proposed to burn him out, but
no one would volunteer to fire the
building.
The barn and contents were val
ued at So. 500, and it was thought
advisable to wait before resorting to
fire. 1t was decided to guard the
barn carefully all night and resume
operations in the morning.
Late last night Sheriff Skinner ar
rived from Tekahama with posse
of ten men, armed with Winchester
rifles. This morning they opened
fire on the barn again, and the des-
perado responded. Heguarded every
side of the barn so closely that no
one dared approach to set fire to It.
A special train has been ordered to
carry fifty armed men from Tekaha-
ma to the scene of the siege. At
last ACCOUNT O'Clock Sunday af-
ternoon-the desperate still Aeld
the fort. 1t has been decided to set
fire to the barn at the first opportu-
nifty.
The nearest telegraph station to
the scene is Oakland, II miles dis
tant. and news has to come by cour-
ier. Nothing more is looked for to-
night.
