This is the day when the ''hired man"
who is engaged to work on a farm for
the season reports for duty, provided, of
course, that there is somewhere a farm
on which such a relic of a bygone age as
the hired man is to be found this year.
What an institution he used to be in the
days when we were youngl A thorough
bred Yankee; not o drop of imported
blood in his veins; strong and 1.-the, and
active and tireless-intelligent, fairly
well educated, skilled in his business, and
as n rulo industrious beyond the belief
of this ten hour generation. From the
time he drove his ak into the woodpile
in the door yard on the LIST of April until
the close of the season, after harvesting,
he expected to work, and he did work,
not from sun TO sun, but from dawn to
darkness, and hen did the milking and
fed the pigs aftcrward. His day was
fourteen, fifteen, even sixteen hours long,
and it never occurred to him that it
should be shorter.
He was no specialist. He could do
anything. He was smart with q scythe,
handy with n hoe, cute with O cradle,
and experienced with an az He knew
how much grain and grass seed were re-
quired to the acre, when grass was fit to
cut, and when it was hayed enough to
Ego in" and he did not need to be told
when to drop turnip seed in the corn
iield or how to put corn in the shock. He
could build wall, make cider, 'shingle the
barn, make a hayrack or doctor a sick
hog. 1t was safe to leave him to work
alone. AND he got for his services $40,
IL, possibly S15 a month for eight
months, and saved three-fourths of it.
Then, when he had worked eight or ten
seasons and accumulated a few hundred
dollars, he probably married the ''hired
girl" who had been at work for a dollar
n week and saved half of that, bought a
farm, got out of debt little by little, edu-
Gated his children and sent them to the
city to preach or practice law, OF work
in the store OF shop, while he stayed on
the old Observation-Disclosures Mirror.

NOW FOR FOURTH or JULE

' VIE VI "Cb- e
Cheyenne's Decoration day celebra-
ton was in several respects the most
creditable ever Iiven in the city.
The parade, while not equal in extent to
that of the corner stone celebration, was
nevertheless surprisingly large and of a
character that every spectator was pleased
to, see. A distinctive feature of the pro-
cession was of course the 18th infantry.
1t is naturally to be expected that the
soldiers will make a fine display and this
expectation is always realized. The city
organizations turned out in gala attire and
altogether the parade was in every way
superior to anythingth public had reason
to expect.
The success of the demonstration made
yesterday emphasizes the necessity Of
making arrangements for the celebration
Of Fourth of July on an
even more extended scale. Yes
terday's parade stirred up the town in
an exceedingly pleasant way and had the
effect of attracting a good many people
here. If a few hundred dollars were judi
ciously expended III preparations for a
Fourth Of July celebration, the city would
not only be in a position to pleasantly en-
terrain its own people, but also a large
number of people who would come here
from abroad. Cheyenne has now so many
finely uniformed societies, and the com
handing officer at Fort Russell has always
shown such an obliging disposition to
conspicuously add to the features of a
display, that no difficulty could be expe-
rienced in making an exceedingly credita-
bic parade.
Other pleasant features might be added
with the result of making the day one
long to be remembered.

forests the beans sell at $40 or $12 per

The vicinity of Papantla alone exported
60, 900, 600 beans. They are used by
