A Pred1cament.

The following from . Pizen Switch bach.
elor shows the difficulties encountered in
popping the question, especially if you have
on tight pair Of pants which you have not
been used to sayiag your prayers in:
ED TlMEs,-Th,s is but world Of trouble.
Night or day, waking or sleeping, something
is always turning up, like prise-6ghter, to
knock you cut. A few evenings ago dress.
ed in my best suit of clothes-a pair Of
pants so tight that could not bend in them,
and the latest style of a see. more coat.
After had made my toilet I glanced in the
glass and came to the conclusion that l was
dude Of the first water. In this trim
started to visit my best girl, who lives with
her brether.in.law, sister and neice, not a
great distance frsm the Switch. Jennie met
me At the door and gave me enc Of her
sweetest smiles. and when she gently squeez.
ed my hand l was almost as near heaven as
ever want to be. We entered the room,
sat down, talked weather, etc., and finally
she nearly took my breath away by saying:
"Johnny. why don't you. get marrieda" l
answered that ne woman would have a
homely br"it like me, when she Immediately
replied: ooh. yes they would; and. besides
l don't think ysu are 50 very homely, either,
Johnny" This encouraged me and again
.oed the mark. DWELL, Jenaie, one more
reason is that my wages only amount to 500
a month when work, and that sum will not
support man and wife," "Oh, dear me, f"
says she, 81 should say it would support
two, provided the woman was not extrava.
giant, and BY marrying you would save more
money than ysu do now. Why, Jack, my
brother in.law, don't make that amount out
Of the RANCH" This was great deal more
than any enc woman ever said to me before,
and I made up my mind right then to ask
her to be my wife. Down before her went
on my knees, when-oh, lordy! hear a re-
port; my dude pants had busted. and there
was a rip behind about eight inches in length.
To make things more embarrassing, just at
this moment into the room steps Jack with
his little daughter. Jenny screams, I jump
to my feet and Jack holds his sides while
laughing, and his little girl comes up to me
and lisPs: "Donny. oou Dose Ger hanky."
l felt fer it, but grabbed instead 4 handful
Of shirt flap. Twas in 4 predicament, and
seeing no ether way out of it, seized my
hat and rusEed from the house, nor did
slacken my speed until reached Wabuska,
where took the FIRST train for Virginia City.
Doa't think l will return to Pizen Switch
soon. JOHNNY.

ARAcE FOR LIFE.
Thrilling Scene Enacted ON tho Plains
OF Colorado.

xuxlIkIuR 0Ceu0 Em0CIcQ on G00 fl0x00
OF Colorado.
A race for life attracted the attention Of
rauchmen near Denver Tuesday, when A. T.
Starkworth attempted to murder ranchman
named Ellis Norton. The two men had
previously had some Misunderstanding which
engendered bad feelings. They lived near
each other and met frequently, bat no trouble
Of serious nature was anticipated by the
friends Of either party.
Early in the morning Norton hitched his
team to a wagon and was driving leisurely
on to Denver, when he heard farm wagon
rapidly approaching from behind. He look
ed, and thinking the noise was caused by
some ranchmen, paid no attention until the
team, which was fast overhaulins him was
within one hundred yards.
Then it flashed through His mind that it
was the intention Of Starkworth to meet him
on the plains, and not being armed he whip
ped up his horses TO the utmost speed. His
pursuer called upon him to stop, which warn
ing was not needed.
An instant later a shot was fired and the
bullet whizzed alongside his head. This
emphatic hint spurred him to redoubled
efforts. Norton applied his whip vigorously.
Pursued and pursuer raced for nearly mile,
when Starkworth fred second shot. Grad.
ually Norton's team drew from his enemy
and dashed into town at fearful rate, rum
ing over dogs and everything that CHANGED
to be in the way.
When he sighted policeman he stopped
his horses, explained the circumstances to
him, and about twenty FIVE minutes later he
saw Starkworth driving swiftly down the
street and placed him under arrest.
