She was very romantic. Her father
was n millionaire. whose life had been de-
voted to sausage raising. He was very
practical naturally, but all the poetry of
her family was right in her. She was be-
loved by another m~illionaire's son, but she
had been reading romances and stuff, and
when he proposed to her she declared he
must do something p~oetical for her.
Dearest, what can | dor"

must come and make love to me and 1

and make n row. We will elope and get
married, and when it's all over Wen tell
him, and it will be delightful"
And so he became a poor artist and took
a poor studio and daubed on ~canvases and
pretended to paint pictures. And there
was another m~illionaire's daughter got to
coming to his studio and sitting for her
picture. In those delightful little tete-a-
tetes he forgot all about the romantic
maiden, and when the romantic maiden
came one night in peasant costume as d
sweet surprise to run AVA with him she
found he was married to the othe girl and
had gone off on his honeymoon. She

The Cossacks furnish the cavalry and
the Russians think it is the finest in the
world, although there is n decided differ
ence of opinion on this subject among
military authorities. Outside of Russia
the Cossack is regarded ms n good scout
and an active guerilla, but worthless for
regular warfare. He n a cowboy, the
gaucho of Russia, was born in n saddle,
has n contempt for agriculture (all the
food products among the Cossacks are
raised by the women), a contempt for
schools, would not learn to read or write
IL he had an opportunity, and is just
about half civilized.
But the Cossacks are n race of free men.
They have never been serfs, and have never
held them, nor ave they ever paid taxes
to any authority. They own vast tracts
Of land in eastern Russia, whore they
raise herds Of cattle, sheep and horses.
All their land Is held in common and the
people live in IN Their system
Of local government is the same as that of
the Bedouins; the same as that of the
children of Israel in the time of Moses
and Abruham.-W. Il. Curtis.

"The fact is" remarked Mr.. Richard
Cogan, one of the dealers, ''that there is
not, and probably never was an original
1904 dollar. BY original we mean, OF
course, one struck in that year. 1t is
pretty well established now that at that
time 1t was the custom to use a set of
dies at the min till they were worn out,
irrespective of the year they were dated.
1t is more than probable that all the spec
linens hat were struck from the die of
1904 were made subsequent to that date.
"Of the thirteen or fourteen that are
now known to exist" said Mr.. Cogan.
1.-TWO are in this city, four in Boston, one
III San Francisco, one in Denver,
and the others are scattered all over the
intervening country. 1 could give you
the name of every person who owns one.
Maj. Wetmore, of 10 Waverly place, has
one which he believes to be the only orig
inal' one. 1t is somewhat worn and has
evidently been in circulation. This does
not usually add to the value of a coin,
but in this case, if this could be made to
prove that it was struck in the year it
was dated, IL might make a big differ
ence."
'tHow much is n specimen worth to-
day2'' asked the reporter.
''That would be pretty hard to say"
replied Mr.. Cogan. They nave sold all
too, for the same specimens. There are so
few of them that they have no regular
market value and the price paid for them
depends entirely upon how badly the pur-
chaser wants one. Probably if one was
offered for sale today it could not be
bought for less than s 1,O0O.-New York

When the western man goes east he car
ries the consciousness Of playing n great
part in the making of an empire; his hori-
zon is large; but he finds himself sur
rounded by an atmosphere of Indifference
or non-comprehension of the prodigious-
ness OF his country, of i%ncredulity as to
the refinement and luxury Of his ~civiliza-
ton; and self-assertion is his natural de-
Tense. This longitudinal incredulity and
swagger is a curious phenomenon. Lon
don thinks New York puts on airs, New
York complains of ChicaEo's want of
modesty, Chicago a see that Kansas
City II Omaha are aggressively boast
full, and these cities acknowledge the eX-
pansive self-appreciation of Denver and
Helena. - Charles Dudley Warner in

In these days of schools for colored
people, the number of those who can't tell
their right hand from their left must have
diminished; before the wal it was very
large.
Elviry, n slave, had fallen sick, and
her master went to inquire as to her state
of health. The room where she lay was
in total darkness, and the master, while
speaking to her stood outside the door.
(Which eye is it that is swollen, Ell
vira?" he asked; and the voice of Elvira
replied through the darkness:
''Nlarster, it's dat eye over mex de
burnl''
a similar case came up in n New
Orleans court room. A colored lady hat.
charged one Of her own race with assault
and battery, having been struck on the
face with II brick. The judge, seeing no
marks of the alleged blow, asked on
which side of her head she had been
struck.

not take the time to vote. He was not so

printed summons to the electors, and on
the cafe billiard tables foI ballots of
the different parties scattered. Gendarmes
had also distributed them about in the
church pews; they were inclosed in envel-
opes, which were voted sealed. On n table
before the pulpit the ballot box-a glass
urn-wns placed, and beside it sat the
judges Of election, with lists of the regis
tered voters. But in any precinct of the

The priesthood of the Russian church
is composed of two classes, the white and
black clergy. The latter are monks be-
longing to the several orders Of religious
seclusion, and from their numbers all the
bishops and higher ecclesiastical officials
are chosen. They are teachers in the
schools, also tutors in the families of the
mobiles, and many of them have been cele-
brated for their scholarship, their artistic
genius and literary gifts. Asceticism is
not practiced as it is in the Roman church,
except by certain orders in monastic life
and in the fulillment of VOWS. During
the last century the church estates were
seculariZed and contiscated by the crown;
then the emancipation Of the serfs de-
prived the religious orders of a great part
OF their wealth, some of the inconsistencies
owning 20, 900, 1000 and even $4,000
serfs. This was a severe blow to them,
and only a few, such as were possessed of
other wealth, survived it. AT present
there are about 500 monastic establish
ments throughout the empire, and most
of them are wealthy.
There is a feeling of bitter hostility ex-
listing between the white and black clergy.
The former are the city and village priests,
or popes, as they are called. They accuse
the black clergy of laziness and indiffer
ence to their vows.-Willam Eleroy Cur

Best Material for Clothing.

The primary object of clothing in cold
climate is to retain the heat of the body;
in hot climates 1t may serve the opposite
purpose of protection from the sun, while
in any place q secondary but most i'm
portant object is ornament. AS to mate
rial, wool is the best for retaining heat,
for it is a bad conductor, and, preventing
loss, feels warm" 1t is particularly de-
sirable as un~derclothing for children and
old persons, who have not much power of
resisting cold, and require warm cover
ings. In a climate with rapid changes in
temperature the great value of wooden
underclothing is recognized by its univer-
sal use to maintain an equitable warmth.
In hot weather cotton undertaking is
cooler, because 1t is a better conductor of
heat, and therefore allows Of more loss;
but then it at the same time conducts
more of the external heat to the skin, and
thus protects it less, and it involves the
risk of sudden and rapid fluctuations of
temperature. Furs, like wool, preserve
the heat, while linen and silk, like cotton,
allow it to be more quickly lost.
The color of the outer clothing makes
some difference, for black and dark shades
like DARK blue absorb the suns rays, while
light bright colors and white reflect them.
The former are, therefore, suitable for
winter, and the latter are preferred in
summer for their GOODNESS, care being
taken that the thickness, nature and ar
rangement of the garments yield the de-
sired effect. So far as fit is concerned,
loosely fitting articles, other things being
equal, are warmer than tightly fitting
ones, because the latter interfere with the
circulation, as cold hands and feet in
tight gloves and boots amply testify.-C.

TuE BOOM NEAR Al HAND.

1t will be but a short time when the
best mineral deposits of Wyoming and
Colorado, such as coal, iron, petroleum,
soda will be developed to their utmost
capacity. The recent rapid extension of
railroads through the mineral fields Is
bringing the mines within easy access of
the markets. The influx of capital and
labor is making of that region the great
rival of Pennsylvania. Nebraska is deep
" interested in the development which is
taking place on her western borders. 1t
means for Nebraska not only cheap fuels
and minerals, but an extension of her
market for agricultural produce. Omdhd
Bee.
1t is wonderful with what sunanimity
the well informed press in the neighbor-
ing states predict an era Of extraordinary
development in Wyoming beginning the
coming summer. OF course they all ex-
pect to profit largely by the growth and
development of Wyoming, and many Ne
braska men certainly should, for they are
backing their faith by generous invest
ments.
The doctrine which The LEADER de-
lights to preach, however, is that the
people of Wyoming themselves should
largely profit by the development of the
territory. We have the crude materials
in abundance and the work of refining
them and rendering them of commercial
value should, ii possible, be done on
our W soil. If all the capital
which has already been realized
from Wyoming soil in grazing alone
had been spent in improving the towns Of
the territory and developing the country
instead of being so largely sent abroad,
Wyoming would now be entitled to ad-
mission into the Union as a state.
The waschword should be: Foster home
industries.

A killing in johnson County.
Buffalo Echo.1

Information was received here the l4th
inst. TO the effect that d. V. Bayne, a
quiet aud law abiding settler, lad shot
and killed Hank German, Familiarity
known as Big Hank, " a reckless cowboy
working for the Human outfit. 1t seems
that German, while under the influence of
liquor, went to Bayne's ranch on Paint
Rock and tried to make him dance at the
point of a six shooter. Bayne ordered
him out of the house, and he mounted
his horse and returned to the saloon, say
ing as he left that lie would come back
and kill him. True to his word, German
presently returned with some companions
and called the ranchman out. Bayne
came to the door armed with a Winches-
ter, and seeing the cowboy with a cooked
revolver In his hand, fred, the ball enter
ing Hanks left side and coming out
under the right arm, from the effects Of
which the victim died that night. Bayne
gave himself up to the authorities, and
the general opinion is that the deed was
iustifiable.

thai during his college days at Yale he
took the place one night of aiecturer with
stereopticon views in one Of The New

chiefly of Arctic scenes, and he talked as
though he had lived at the North pole for
years. While he was describing a glacier
some one in the audience asked: How
fast does it move2r He hadn't the
slightest idea, but without hesitation he
replied: "a mile n minuter' "Why, Ed.
