No Place for a Tenderfoot.

From the chicago Herald

house here in town. They do say that there
is no shooting going on out there, but I know
that ran across few pretty tough characters

man, and we took a seat in a coach which had
Just been attached to the train. At first We
thought we had the car all to ourselves, but
then we saw that up near the front end,
sprawled out over two seats was a rough, cow
boy-looking party, who wore a flannel shirt, top
boots and big sombrero. As the train pulled
out from the station he turned laZily around
and noticed us for the first time. Standing his
whole feet up in the aisle, he walked back to
where we sat. Drawing flask from his pocket
he offered il to me, and said: Have a drink,
pardner.' / thanked him, and told him never
drank anything. He made the same offer and
remark to my friend, who answered him in the
same way. Then he looked down upon us for
a moment, pulled a wicked-looking six-shooter
from his pocket, leveled il full at me, and said:
Il guess you'd better drink with me-and drink
whisky, toor Well, L sort of guessed 80, too,
and, much il went against the grain, I
downed swig of awful coffin varnish. Ny

Emphasis i'm Life.

From the St Louis Republic
Some people find fault because a few have so
much influence in politics, in business, in So
ciety, and even in church. They seem to for
get that it is inevitable and applies even in
childhood and youth. In every school and on
every playground few dictate the policy, and
lead in fun and hard work, in thought and 40
ton. because of the emphasis they place upon
what they say and do. 1t is still in emphasis
that usually determines success. If il is known
how any one emphasizes life il is easy TO esti-
mate the probabilities of success. Emphasis
in life is much like emphasis in reading
The first principle in each is TO em-
phasiZe ideas not words. There is a radi-
cal difference between the two. Superin-
tendent George Rowland, OF Chicago, read
"Eyaneeline" TO one of the grammar schools
of that city on Friday afternoon a year ago,
and CHANGED to be present when the pupils
read their compositions on the reading. A
bright little foreign boy wrote: II thought SO
great a man would read very loud, but he didn't.
i thought he would emphasize it lots, but he
never emphasized a word; but oh, my didn't
he picture the story. though! i shall see il as
long as live" This is a vivid illustration OF
emphasis upon ideas rather than words. This
principle holds in life. Success depends upon
magnifying essentials. Some people tire us in
their talk because they dwell upon minor de-
tails about which we care nothing, while
others fascinate us by giving the pith Of story
so that we do not wish word omitted. This
is land and age of progress mans life
must show on the face of il that every word
and act tells, and that he has not done the best
he uil avar do

A Mans Varying Signatures.

From the Chicago lnter-Ocean.
A prominent business man in this city, called
upon to sign a hundred letters every day, will
tell you that his signature never varies from
the standard fixed by himself in the morning,
and yet know that that man will write for an
hour with the enjoyment of writing master;
interrupted by some person who irritates him
he will write for an hour with the heavy-pok-
ing stick movement of a newspaper man; in
terrupted again by man who brings him good
news, aud his pen will slip over the paper with
light. unshaded line. Sometimes the whole
signature is signed without raising the pen,
again the same is written with great care at
each initial. Taking the hundred letters, no
man could swear that they were signed by the
same man.

Turkish Extravagance,

The Turkish government. as every one knows,
is over head and ears in debt, and yet the idi-
otto sultan is about to expend large sum in
building, decorating and furnishing palace
within the grounds of Yildiz, as a residence for
the emperor William when he visits Constantine
pie in October. This crazy extravaganza is the
more reprehensible inasmuch as the shores of
the Bosphorus are almost lined by the magnifi-
cent palaces which were built by the last two
sultans most of which are marvels of oriental
luxury and splendor. Several palace officials
are to be sent to Paris to select furniture for
this new residence

Queen Victoria's Rings.

From the Detroit Free Pree.
1t is said that the three rings which Queen
Victoria prizes the most highly are: First of
all, her wedding ring, which she has never
taken off; then a small emerald ring with
tiny diamond in the center, which the Prince
Consort gave her at the age of 1o; and an en-
erald serpent which he gave her as an engage
ment ring. For many years after the Prince
Consort's death her majesty slept with these
rings on her fingers, only taking them off to
wash her hands. as the water would, of course,
spoil the enamel
