A few days ago couple Of Red
Clouds festive sons concluded they
would 90 yer to Riverton and while
away tho happy hours discoursing
about love and matrimony to the
handsonest girls IN tia, quiet moral
town. They hired q 6rst-class rig At
the livery stable. and put on their best
toggery and started at IN ear ly hour
for the scene Of cosaict, boldly de-
termined to conquer OF die. As they
left Red Cloud one Of them exclaimed
"vietory today o. disgrace tomorrow;
. faint heart never won = fair lady,
and . coward never vas worth 81
groat. Ny motto is = gold Chain or
. wooden leg" His comrade smil-
ed, and added, "Chum, I'll tell You
what it is, somebody will be in arms
before night, won't ,hey?" "Yes''
said Chun. - pair Of them" Now
the young ladies whom these festive
svains hoped to espt,vate, were we'll
acquainted with some young men in
Red Cloud but only partially acquain-
ted With our svains. The dashing
heroes, however, expected to cut out
the favored young men whom they
left behind IN Red Cloud. This gave
an additional sest to their design and
one Of them merrily c ,uckled:
"Whsn 10 an away.
The nice can play"
But here is Riverton. Nestled
among her veI dant hills, she looks
the very picture Of . ace and plenty.
Surely iaugbts.s must be fair -
the morn But bark! there is agreat
commotia in ~the::staid towr. Merry
laughing maidens and gay young
men fit to and fro like butterflies in
. flower garden. Yonder come two
young ladies' in srhess joy,
radient in peerless beauty. One i, .
charming blonde, the other = lovely
brunette. Our lotus-eaters could not
remain quiet any longer. Spriugiug
from tho buggy they accosted the
young ladies With their blandest
smiles and sweetest words. TIE
young ladies seemed pleased at the
attention bestowed BY our aristocrat-
ic Red Clouds; accepted the company
Of the gay gsllsnts and whirled away
the hours in sweet conversation. At
times their paths diverged so ss to
give each . chance to speak about
those miner matters that always serve
to show . mans taste and standing.
During one Of these d,gressions, enc
OF the young men informed his Dulci.
10 that his cheapest hat cost him
500, aud that he had . pair Of pants
at home which cost $50. She opened
her eyes Chose orbs Of beauty and
gased at him in mute establishment.
A nan Who could pay fifty dollars for
. pair Of psots would certainly be
to buy bis wife . 900 suit.
But during this pleasant interview,
Time slept on flowers and lent his glass
10 Hope. Alas! however, brief Wa
Tho season Of enjoyment. Another
arrived from Red Cloud, bear
ing two youths Of noble mien. They
out and advance toward our
and Riverton's f~airest
With . warm shake Of the
hand they greet the young ladies, and
hen with an air Of gallant sclf-sssur-
lnce invite them to walk around.
The young ladies assent by smiles
md sctions. and under their escort
presmbulate tho s,lvan shades totally
Of our heroes Of the morning.
The lotus-esters grew infuriated; they
cannot stand around and witness the
happiness Of their rivals. They has
;en to their buggy and return to Red
Cloud having found BY sad experience
hat:
There's many = slip.
'rwixt the cup and the lip"
But the end is not yet. They sat
lovn and wrote those Riverton girls
stter, full Of upbrsiding and bitter
They cast glsnces Of def
nee at their successful competitors,
Until 1t last var wss declared. Al
irst it wss . var Of words, but City
pants growing too personal,
10 adversary charged upon him and
ut him 70 isglorious fight. Wei
nust drop the curtain for the present.
When you get through listening to
he blowing ab.us selling you goods
