A Clean One Evsry Eight Days.

A Clean One Every Eight Days.
An old fellow who Ia running a
sawmilL. down in the southern part of
Tennessee had considerable trouble in
getting a man who understood the
business of sawyer. Finally, when
the owner OF the mill had become
wholly discouraged, a respectable fel-
low came along and asked for a situa-
ton. He showed a paper from one oil
the leading millmen in the country,
stating that the applicant was n OF
the best of sawyers. He was engaged,
and when he had been at work
about three weeks the proprietor Of
the mill called him one morning
and said:
"Mr. Collier, you needn't go to
work to-day"
Are you going to shut DOWN."
Yes, so fur ez you are consumed
"What, o don't want me any
longer?"
"Yas, that's it,"
"Why, haven't | been giving salts
faction ?"
"Oh, vas, so fur ez your work goes"
"Then what is the matter"
Well, l have noticed that you put
on too many shirts"
al don't understand YOU"
Well, YOU change Your shirts toe
often. You have been working here
now three weeks, an | notice that you
put on a clean shirt about every eight
days"
"Well, my gracious, is there any
thing wrong in that?"
ITO some folks thar mount be
but thar is to me. A fellar came
along here once and changed his shirt
every twelve days"
"Well," said the sawyer, "whai
else did he do?"
"Run away and married my daugh
ter, that's what he done. Then, thai
came along a teller that changed his
shirt bout every ten days. He rur
away with my wife. Then anothe'
Teller that changed his shirt 'bou
nine days ran away with my pocket

SHE would HAVE A SEAT.
As Able to Hold Her as He Was
Before They We're Married

A. Able TO Held Her as He Was
Before They We're Married
Recently, as a Ridge Road car was
coming up Lake Avenue, the driver
stopped on being signaled by o
young man on q crossing not far
from Driving Park Avenue. The
young man vas accompanied by o
rather pretty young woman, who
was dressed in light, airy Summer
attire, and carried q fancy colored
parasol. The young man jumped
aboard the car first and rushed in
side, securing the only seat vacant.
leaving the young woman to follow
as best she could. OF course, every
one expected that he would give ny
his seat to his lady, but he did not
do 30, and she, standing awhile,
holding on 10 q strap, concluded to
have a seat anyway, and, without a
word of warning pumped down on
the lap OF her escort, saying, as she
did so: "I'm as tired as you are,
darling. and you will have to hold
me until / get q seat" He gave a
grunt Of the hog kind and told her,
in plain English, that "she could
stand or sit on the floor for all be
cared, but he wouldn't hold her.
At this several male occupants of
the car offered their seats to the
young woman but she declined their
offer and said: Hes as able to
hold me now as he was before We
we're married, and I will sit where ]
am" The passengers were up to
this time silently smothering their
laughter, but the last was too much
for them, and q remarked: 1.-The
car will be thrown from the track
unless we stop laughing so hard
Realizing the fact that he was max
ing O target Of himself, the young
man rose hastily, nearly throwing
his darling wife on the floor. and
made q rush for the door, saying a;
he did so: "You take my seat; III
walk home" and left the car. The
wife was not ~dismayed in the least
but sat there quietly enjoying the
fun as we'll as did the passengers.

IsM ~rARLETON.
An Arizona Man who Can shoot
n. Trne as q malr.

Although there is a great deal OF ~
ing about Southwestern marksman-
ship, there is no doubt that there are
people in our country who can come
as near putting a revolver bullet
where they want to, in a reasonable
range, as you could do it with your
fingers. One OF the deadest shots IN
Arizona is Jim Tarleton, and I'll tell
you what l saw him do on one occa-
sion. lie had had bad blood with an
Irishman named 0'Hara, a desper-
ado, and the two men had promised
faithfully to kill each other on sight.
Tarleton was standing in front oil q
| saloon when 0'IIara rode up and
| blazed way at him, cutting his left
ear. Tarleton drew and fired almost
simultaneously, putting a ball through
| O'Hara's right hand, breaking his
pistol-stock at the same time. Tarle-
| toms next bullet, fired with great de-
liberation, broke the back Of O'Hara's
horse, which fell, carrying the rider
down with it. Tarleton stepped ovei
to where his enemy lay and stood ovei
him, with his revolver pointing
straight at the PROSTATE mans fore
head for as mach as a minute, al
though it seemed to us who were look
ing on like half an hour. Then he
looked round, and seeing a hen about
twenty feet away, he drew a bead or
it, blazed away, and shot it through
the head. Without saying a word he
put his pistol away and walked int
the saloon. 0'Hara got up after
struggle and followed him into thu
barroom, where the two men SHOOK
hands. They were afterwards almos
inseparable iriends.-N. Y. World.

WOMEN IN THE WEST.
How They Manage q 20 "HOId
Down q CIaim.o


1t is very common to find a lone
and unprotected female "holding
down a claim" as the Western
phrase runs. The women of the East
would look aghast at the prospect OF
living alone in a sod house for six
months, miles from the nearest
neighbor. Yet experience proves
that the unprotected is much
safer out on the lonely prairie than
she would be in New York City. /
never heard or read of o woman on
a homestead receiving an insult at
the hands of anybody. To be sure,
they are always armed, and know
how to handle a pistol, but they
rarely have a more deadly use for it
than the killing of a jackrabbit or q
prairie-d dog. Such women complain
more of loneliness than of fear. For
whatever charms solitude may have
for the sage, it certainly has none
for the fair sex, not even for our
hardy Western representatives of it.
Here is n of their ingenious ways
of avoiding it: Two of them will
locate on adjoining quarters" aud
build their houses on the dividing
line, so that while each house is on
its occupants claim. the two struc-
lures are practically one, affording
frequent opportunities for the ladies
to call on each other and discuss
social topics. They are all provided
with ponies, and think nothing of a
horseback ride of fifteen or twenty
either for business or pleasure.

"You dropped something, sir"
said one gentleman to another on a
Pleasant Valley car, pointing to a slip
of paper lying on the floor,
"The man addressed was in the act
of putting in his pocket a tobacco
pouch from which he had just ex-
tracted enough fine cut " for a chew.
He picked up the paper, and after
glancing at it, placed it carefully in
side the tobacco pouch, which he then
returned to his pocket. The stranger
who called attention to his loss looked
inquiringly at his fellow passenger.
:" 1t isn'ta valuable document" said
the latter " still | wouldn't like to lose
it. You probably wonder why |
should carry a paper in the iecepta-
Gle for tobacco. Well, | will tell you.
You see, that bit Of paper contains a
memoranda of errands which my wife
wants me to do and things that she
wants me to buy while 1 am in the
city. By putting it in the tobacco
pouch | I'm reminded every time |
take a chew-and that is pretty often
OF the business l am expected to at
tend to. It's an idea OF my own and
it works beautifully. | used to forget

can vote for one who advocates principle that
would reduce wages one half or more from
what they are now is past our comprehension

We heard Mr.. Petty speak at Salem Tuesday
night. We hardly know what to say of it, One
correspondent puts il "infamous STUFF and
that is aboutit. He made only two points in
a IA hours talk Que was that the Govern
ment ought to give each man who had no land
l6O acres, loan him 81 900 at per cent interest
with which to buy a team, wagon, ETC., and to
live on the first year. We don't believe he
made any votes in Salem. There was not a
Union Labor man there except those who came
with him. -.
