A Pair OF Red Boots.

Among the Tartars of the Ukraine
boots of red leather are generally worn.
This fact gave rise to q form of torture
practiced, rs an act Of revenge, by the
banditti who formerly infested the re-
gion. The victims skin was cut round
the upper part of his legs, and then
torn off by the feet.
Some years ago the chief ofa desper-
ate gang of robbers became so trouble
some that a large reward was offered
for his capture. A Russian soldier
managed to secure the robber and to
hand him ove to his commander.
Instead of being executed, tho rob-
Der was set at liberty. He had amassed
wealth and was able to pay the COM
mander a large sun of money to release
him.
One day, shortly after the capture,
the soldier was surprised to receive a
visit from the robber chief.
"You caught me once" said he to the
soldier, "but before you set out upon
another expedition IN search of me l
will give you a pair OF red boots for
the journey"
Having uttered this terrible threat,
the robber escaped. The soldier,
knowing il he gave a chance the threat
would be executed, and having no con
fidence in his commanders honesty, de-
termined to take the administration Of
Justice in his own hands.
He pursued the robber, and after
several days tracked him to a cave.
Entering with cooked pistols in his
hands. lie found the robber chief.
"You promised me-" said be "a pair
Of red boots; I have come to be meas
| ured for them" and then shot the chief
dead on tine spot. Youths Compan-
ion.

Waited TWenty.One Years,


One of the pleasantest men in the
territorial council is George w. Garlic
ton, whose home is in Ilillard, and who
represents Uinta county. Mr.. Garlic
ton Is n of the few members from out
of town, in either house who is accom-
panied by his wife. Both are we'll
along toward middle life, but they have
been married only a few months.
Thereby hangs a story.
MI. Carleton is one of the very Oldest
old timers. He first reached uinta
early in the sixties and was a govern
ment official and recognized gentle at
the time when it va a popular BELIEF
among the mormons that there was no
good gentiles on this side of the StyX.
He was soon singled out as an uncom-
promising foe of the polygamists. 1t
was during this time that he first met
and fell in love with Miss Snow, a
daughter of Judge Snow, a judge OF
the district court. They were engaged,
but things soon got SO exceedingly hot
that Mr.. Carleton, to maintain his eX-
istence on the face of the earth, found
it very advisable TO remove from
Utah.
He finally drifted into Uinta county,
ultimately became station agent at
billiard and is now a contractor in get
ting out railroad ties. Mr.. Carleton, 1T
appears. met opposition to his suit
from other than Mormon sources. So,
strange as it may appear, things re-
manned in statu quo for a period OF
twenty-one years, Miss Snow mean
time became her fathers clerk and
was admittd to the bar.
Last fall fate threw the old-time
lovers together again whentheir hopes
bore fruition in marriage. There is
not now in Wyoming a happier couple
or a couple more esteemed or respected
by their neighbors. Cheyenne Leoder.

Men and Women.

That women as u rule are more
cheerful than men is not due to their
escape from their tolls and anxieties.
They have them and yet are more uni
formlv serene than men, and oftener
blithe and happy. One reaso why
they are so is that they take more
pleasure in small things, little matters
Of needlework. little matters of social
chat, little shopping or other excur-
sion, mere tri1es of work or recreation.
Mar is consumed with a certain ambi-
ton that gets no good out Of the pres
emit and builds altogether on the future,
and it is sure to wear q somber hue in
the long run and not yield much TO Joy
when realized. The men who are con-
stitutionally capable of enjoying small
things and who have little hobbies
wherewith to entertain themselves, are
cheerful and light-hearted. Few
grown-up men in the United States
have such a temperament and tastes, and
the result is that the American citizen
is q sedate, somewhat ~taciturn and
nearly gloomy individual. The cure
for him is the cultivation OF simple
amusements and less rumination night
and day, and especially in the night
times He puts OF the yoke too loon
and wears il too long. He needs to he
~innocently festive. Count De Lesseps
sets him . notable example.

Musical Sea Fowls.

/ have often been entertained with
extraordinary concerts of the sea fowl
in Ailsa, the Shiani Islands and else
where, but / never heard any orchestra
30 numerous, so various and so perfect
as this one, which seemed to consist of
almost all the birds that frequent the
seas and rocks of these wild coasts.
I should perhaps do injustice to the
performers did I attempt to assign the
parts which each took in this concert,
but it was easy to distinguish the short,
shrill trebles of the pufins and auks,
the melodious and varied notes Of the
different gulls, the tenors of the divers
and guillemots and the croaking bases
of the cormorants. But the variety OF
tones was far beyond my power Of
analysis.
It may appear ludicrous to call this
music melodious or to speak OF the har-
mony formed by such ingredients; yet
musician will listen with interest and
delight, although the separate cries OF
the different individuals are seldom
thought agreeable.
Few of the notes in this concert could.
perhaps, have referred to the scale, ii
separately examined; yet the harmony
wat often as full and perfect as If it had
been the product of well-tuned instru-
ments, and the effect was infinitely su.
perior to that which is often heard in .
spring morning among the singing birds
Of the forest, while it was SO entirely
different as not to admit of any com'
parison.
In the sea birds there are few tones
and few notes, but they are decided
and steady. The body Of sound is also
far greater, and however inferior in
variety or sweetness the notes of the
individuals may be there is much more
variety in the harmonious combinations
and in that which musicians would call
the continuance and design.
Very often they remind me Of some
Of the ancient religious compositions,
which consist of q perpetual succession
of fugue and iteration on a few simple
notes, and sometimes it appeared as il
different orchestras were taking up the
same phrases Youths Companion.

stuff everything there" and Kate gave
o little short laugh, then flushed sud
denly o. she saw Bellies blue eyes
bent wonderingly upon her.
"Why," said the girl, and her fingers
stopped in their busy motion, "Id just
as soon think Of putting anything ugly
into the parlors rs into Brother Franks
room; he's 80 choice OF it."
"Oh. we'll, boys are different, STAN
mered Kate in confusion.
And Belle, feeling that she was tread
ing on forbidden ground, adroitly
turned the conversation. Yes, she
knew that Ben was different from her
brother. and oh, how thankful she felt
for that difference - thankful that
Frank was strong and manly, kept
above temptation sorry for the great
contrast in her friend.
"You must all do something to try
to keep Ben at home these evenings"
said his father one day. II don't like
the way he is spending his time"
And Kate. MS she heard the words,
wondered what she could do.
That afternoon there was . great
overhauling Of furniture upstairs, and
by supper time quite q transformation
had taken place in Ben's room. There
were pretty, bright chromos and one or
two choice engravings on the wall,
hitherto bare; dainty white mats on
the bureau, fresh muslin curtains
draped back from the window, and
everything as inviting as thoughtful
hands could make it,
"Now," she said, II wonder if he'll
notice it,"
"Have you a headache, Benz" she
asked, az she passed his door that
evening and saw him sitting with his
head bowed upon his hands.
"Oh, no" he answered; "only think
ing of going down town, but it looks so
pleasant and homelike up here I guess
I'll stay"
And he did stay; it wasn't the last
time either. BY and by he began to
invite some of "the fellows" to come
and see him at the house, and with
great satisfaction would ask them to
"step up" to his room. Was it strange
that from these little gatherings more
than one went away feeling that it was
a grand good thing to have a home,
and be worthy of it?
