helping Mrs. Ordway with her wraps,
conversed short time with Mrs.
Mcdonald, and gave her the roll of
bills.
She refused at first to take them:
but assured her l had not earned
them in any sense, and would really
feel happy in the thought that she
could use the money in any way she
chose as her own.
OF course, I need not tell you that
that is the end of my story. I had
not done much that day to increase my
income; but don't know that l ever
felt happier in winning any case than
l did when I sat down to supper that
night with Nellie and the baby over

Two good neighbors restored to their

COWBOY ROPlNG MATCH.

A Contest in Which the Rider and His
Bronco Show to Advantage.
During the recent meeting of the
Territorial Stock Growers on the
reservation opposite this city, says
Miles City (Mont.) special, there were
some roping matches of more than
ordinary interest (,
Of all cowboy sports, roping con-
tests are the most exciting and call
forth more skill and agility than the
man who has never visited the far
West can easily appreciate.
When a contest of this kind is ar
ranged a piece of ground is selected,
care being taken that it is level, and
free from any dog holes, rocks or
brush that might bring down a horse
while running at full speed and iniure
both it and it's rider.
A bunch of thirty or forty lively
young steers, full of grit, are then
driven up by three cowboys, two of
whom hold the bunch while the third
'cuts OUT the animals one by QUE for
Time-keepers are appointed, and the
first competitor comes forward on his
pony. He takes his stand forty or fifty
feet from the bunch, and fine picture
he generally makes, with his big white
hat, his spurs and his lasso. Then a
steer is cut out from the bunch and
started on q run.
At given signal the cutter-out pulls
up his bronco in the proverbial four
feet of space, and the competitor
dashes after the steer.
A sharp race follows, and the second
the cowboy gets YEAR enough he swings
the rope above his head, takes careful
aim and circles it around the steers
horns In an instant the bronco stops,
suddenly bringing the steer to halt.
Then the horse runs round the steer,
which is promptly thrown. The rider
fastens the rope to the horn of the
saddle and dismounts, leaving the
horse to hold down the steer which it
invariably does by sitting down on it's
launches and bracing itself with it's
forelegs.
The cowboy proceeds to tie the
steers hind legs, and the moment he
has it done his task is completed and
the time is taken. Each competitor
follows in turn, and the one making
the quickest time is proclaimed the
winaor.

The Best Work to Do.

The best work for any man to do is
the work that is just before him, by
the ordering of Gods providence. If
he neglects that work, in the hope of
finding something better suited to his
abilities, there are two things in
which he is practically a failure-the
work to which God has set him, and
the work which he has picked out for
himself. Doing what he has to do is
better for any man than doing what
he wants to do. If, indeed, what a
man has to do happens to be what he
wants to do, these 81 no objection to

PITH AND POINT.

The angler who catches the small

Stills are no better in conversation
than in oot-race.-Century.
There are men whose friends are
more to be pitied than their enemies.
He who is most SLOW in making a
promise is the most faithful in the per-
Torrance of it.
TO the prosperous, the whole of
life is short; but, to the unfortunate,
one night is an endless time.
There is no use trying to strike an
average on honesty. The article must
be simon pure or it is spurious.
Other peoples tongues will make
you miserable, sut it will not mend
matters for your tongue to make them
miserable.
1t is said that man is judged by
the company he keeps, but more fire.
quently he is judged by the company
he does not keep.-Boston Transcript.
If men would say all that they,
think and leave unsaid we would dis
cover philosophers in fools and vice

"A good story is told OF the Indians,
who replied when a missionary asked
them if they were willing to abstain
from work on Sunday: Eyes, and not
only on Sunday, but on all other days

Loose and light principles, like
your loose straw hat, will show you
which way the wind blows. You may
have to chase them yet, or go bare
headed. Perhaps you and they will
end in the mud.-Christian Standard.
If the young man who took the
medal should take the "big head" and

any thing else worth any thing. This

One of the best lessons to be learnt
is the absolute necessity of preventing
work from degenerating into worry.
It is worry that kills for the most part,
not work. To learn to put forth our

this is one of the most precious fruits

HOW A GIRL BUYS SHOES.

And knew that she could never put

And knowing, too, that he must please,
He brought her "threes' and tried,
BY gett n% down on both his knees
TO squeeze her foot inside.
Miss Minnie doubled up her toes
And pushed W tn mi 5ht and main;
Her face grew rcdder than u rose
Her struggle was in vain.

The suc man answered sweet:

He brought the "fours" and using strength
He squeezed her feet inside.
1T looks just horvid-see the length
And BREADTH" mad Minnie cried.
And then she hobbled to the door
And lmpcd along the street,
In agony because she wore
Shoes smaller than her foet.
Though Minnie wears the shoes with pride,
And shows them everywhere,
Her poor, distorted feet must hide
Whenever they are bare.
For when it's time to go to bed
And give her pedals case,
1ngrow;ng nails corns. bunions red
And tangled toes she sees.
Give us the girl who keeps her feet
AS pretty as her hands.
In shoes adapted for the street
And not for Chinese lands.

Growth of Hair After Death.

From the Newark Evening News.
remarkable case of the growth of hair
after burial came to light last week at the dis
interment of the body of Amzi Coeyman, who
died in Belleville over four years ago and was
buried in the old private cemetery of the Coey-
man family on the river road. When Mr.. Coey-
man died his beard was about two inches long,
and the hair upon his head was the usual
length worn during life. When the coffin was
taken up last week for re-burial in Mount
Pleasant cemetery it was discovered that the
beard had grown to the length of two feet, and
that the hair upon the head had also grown out
from the sides and front of the face, COM
pletely obscuring the latter from view. When
brushed back it was found that not only the
face but also the body were in a remarkable
state of preservation
