More towns die for the want of con-
fdence on the part of some men and
lack of public spirit than from the RI
valry of nelghboring towns or adverse
surroundings. When a man, in search
of a home or business location, goes to
a town and Ands everyone brim full
of hope and enthusiasm over the pros
poets of the place and earnestly al
work to build up the town, he soon
becomes innbued with the same spirit

Character of the Cowhox

There is no eight hour law in cowboy land d. during round up time we often count our selves lucky if we get off with much less than sixteen hours; but the work is done in the saddle, and the men are spurred On all the time by the desire to outdo one another in feats of daring and skillful horsemanship. There is very little quarreling or fighting; and though the fun often takes the form of rather rough horse play, yet the practice of carrying dangerous weapons makes cowboys show far more rough courtesy to each other and far less rudeness to strangers than is the case among, for instance, eastern miners, or even lumbermen. When quarrel may very probably result fatally, man thinks twice before going into it: warike people or classes always treat one another with a certain amount of consideration and politeness.
 The moral tone of a COW camp, indeed, is rather high than Otherwise Meanness. cowardice and dishonesty are not tolerated. There is high regard for truthfulness and keeping ones word, intense contempt for any kind of hypocrisy, and a hearty dislike for a man who shirks his work. Many of the men gamble and drink, but many do neither; and the conversation is not worse than in most bodies composed of male human beings. A cowboy will not sub- init tamely to an insult, and is very ready to avenge his own wrongs; nor has he an over wrought fear of shedding blood. He pos sesses, in fact, few of the emasculated, milk and water moralities admired by the pseudo philanthropists; but he does possess to a very high degree, the stern, manly qualities that are so valuable to a nation.-Theodore Roosevelt in The Century.

A Plea for College Athletics.

Professor Richards makes new plea for col lege athletics. He argues that two essentially new forces are at work in these days, des- tined to sap the physical strength out of young men, and thus emasculating charac- ter. These influences are concentration of population in cities and the increased de- mands made by knowledge on brains and nerves To show how population is concen- trating he gives the following figures: In Yale in 1857, of every 100 students, 21 1-5 came from cities of 30,O0O inhabitants or over. In 1871, of every 100 students, A came from such cities. In 1887, 55 out of every 1O0 This is remarkable showing.
 But the proportion in Sheffield Scientific school has risen still more rapidly. He main tains that the system of athletics in colleges and elsewhere helps to oounteract the disin- tegrating forces of city life, to strengthen the young men against ill health, against the forces of low living, and keep them out of crimes against self and society. It is we'll known that base habits are associated with local physical disorders, and course of physical culture invariably is responded to by moral gain. It is the one most important lesson in morals our age has to learn.-Globe- Democrat.

At the Rattle of GuiIford's Court House.
 There are many incidents connected with the battle which are mostly embalmed only in tradition and deserve most lasting place in history. With Col. Washington's cavalry was volunteer trooper from Virginia, Peter Francisco, giant in size, and with the courage and strength of Richard the Lion Hearted. In a short encounter in that bloody corner of the field, when Washington joined the First Maryland in it's attack upon Col. Webster's guards, he slew, with his own hand, eleven men, His sword was oyer four feet in length, and so heavy that not another man in the army could wield it. One of the guards, dapite Francisco's parrying, ran his bayencs into the latters thigh, piercing him to his horse. Francisco forbore to strike, but assisted .hin to extricate his bayoEet.

Black dark brown) are asign of passionate ardor in love.
 Dark blue, or violet, denote great affection and purity, but not much intellectually.
 Clear, light blue, with calm, steadfast glance, denote cheerfulness, good temper, constancy.
 Pale blue, or steel colored, with shifting motion of eyelids and pupils, denote deceit fulness and selfshness.
 Russet brown without yellow denote an affectionate disposition, sweet and gentle. The darker the brown, the more ardent the passion.
 Blue, with greenish tints, are not so strongly indicative of theeo traits, but a slight propensity to greenish tints in eyes Of any color is sign of wisdom and courage.
 Gray. or greenish gray, with orange and blue shades and ever varying tints, are the most intellectual, and are indicative of the impulsive, impressionable temperament-the mixture of the sanguine and bilious, which produces poetic and artistic natures.
 Light brown or yellow denote inconsistency; green, deceit or coquetry. Eyes of no par ticular color (only some feeble shades of blue or gray, dull, expressionless, dead looking), belong to the lymphatic temperament, and denote istless, feeble disposition, and a cold, selfish nature.
