Gounod.. rlr.. Composition.

The following story is told about the
beginning of Gounod's career as a musi-
clan: Gounod's parents did not at all
fancy his taking up music. They took
counsel on the subject with the head
master of the school which their son at
tended, with the following result: Your
son become n minister Never, sir" re-
piled the master. He has q decided
aptitude for Latin and Greek" The next
day Master Charlie was called in NJ.
Poirson's study. well. sir, they tell
me you've been caught writing music. ="
'Oh, yes, l want to be n musician. +"
You a musician? Why, that's no pro-
fession at all. But here is some paper
and n pen. Write me a new air on the
words from Joseph, Scarcely merged
from infancy Then we shall see what
you can do" said the professor, de-
lighted at the cleverness of his device.
1t was the noon recess. Before the bell
ram to resume studies Gounod was back
with his page black with crochets and
quavers. "What, already" said the pro-
fessor. "Well, sing it," Gounod sat
down to the piano and sang, and the
tears soon began to gather in the head
masters eyes. BE embraced his pupil
and exclaimed; INA foil let them say
what they please, you shall study music. "

"Ha! hal hal" laughed a Coachman and
a Professor as they were merrily swing
ing in the breeze in the top of q tree.
I'VE are having a good time of it and
feel sorry for you miserable fellows who
are compelled to lie huddled together in
a hybook. An Angler fastened us on a
piece Of gut, and in trying to make a
long cast the brown hackle at the end
caught in a branch of this tree and it is
there safely imbedded. The Angler
tugged at us for a time and then the line
broke and we are enjoying ourselves.
He cannot reach us here, and our long
days of imprisonment in a hybook, sue.
ceeded by being dragged over tho water
and whirled around in the air, are
passed."
The Coachman and Professor thought
they had attained the height of happi-
ness, and they enjoyed themselves for q
number of days. Then came rain, and
this was followed by sleet and snow, and
the gut which held them rotted and the
Coachman and Professor dropped to the
ground, where they were trampled in
the mire by the cattle. They no longer
envied their brethren in the flybook, and
amid longings and regrets they ended a
miserable existence.-New York Herald.

JSo. y. CARROLL. Edito,
[ YAWP

Col. Jim" George who used to swell
around this territory like a poisoned pup
when he was special agent of the land de-
partment has had himself interviewed by
the Washington correspondent of the New
York World on the subject of the Wyo-
ming Development company claims. As
usual he asserts hat he knew more about
the whole business than any man who has
ever existed. He tramped over part Of
the ground with a chain to stake il off and
see that the bitches we're Iun all right and
was then hauled off by the department
before he could entirely complete the
work.
An effort was made TO grease the palm
of the guileless Colonel jim" but he
resisted the Establishments of the tempter
with a suavity and moral heroism which
none of his acquaintance mere ever sus-
pected he possessed. In fact the general
impression here was that Colonel jun
WAS openly in the market. But this is
the way he tells his story:
About that time and when | was max
ing my report, a gentleman came TO me
ia Cheyenne aud tired TO prevail upon me
To suppress the facts in my possession
about the dates of the ditching. He init
mated that it would be to my interest to
do so, and that the general land Office
would be none the wiser. | pointed out
To suppress the facts would be for me to
commit perjury. He did not see that, as
| had not to swear TO my reports. but |
held that my oath of office followed me in
every Official act that l did. as much as if
| went before a magistrate and swore TO
each one separately. That being my idea
of official duty. the gentleman concluded
there was no use in talking TO me, and 80
we parted.
Col. "Jim's' in%sinuatIon that the lands
are mineral in character has never been
charged heretofore and nobody now sus-
poets or believes that they are.
The only objections made to Issuing
patents by Commissioner Stockslager was
that the claims had not been taken up in
severalty. This is not denied but the
view OF Special Agent Bowers. who ex-
amined into the matter, is generally ac-
cepted here. His view was that the
company was entitled in equity to the pa
tents for the reason that the land had
been thoroughly reclaimed and it probably
could never have been brought under cui.
t~ivation by individual efforts. 1t re-
quired an association of individuals to
risk $+sS. GEO on building a tunnel through
the face Of a mountain and constructing
the great irrigation system which now
supplies the land with water.
The settlement of this yexed question
is of immense importance to the people
nj this city. No administration can go far
wrong in deciding that the company is
entitled to the possession of the lands for
which they have received final proofs.
Under the most favorable circumstances
it will take years for the COMPANY to get
back the original investment from the
sale of the lands. A settlement of the
matter would add materially to the wealth
and population of this county.
Notwithstanding Colonel "Jim's"
yawp a speedy and favorable termination
Of the cases should be brought about
by Commissioner Stone.

Tner pon,. care for chIeLen..

Awhile ago DR.. Finsch saw hens
scratching around in New Guinea vii,
lagos, and he learned that the domestic
fowl is good for nothing except feathers.
The natives could hardly conceive that
human beings could eat such a creature,
and the bare idea of lunching on eggs
was enough to make a respectable Pa
puan i'll. Chicken feathers, however,
particularly if white. heighten the charms
of the fair sex when tastefully disposed
in their abundant f~rizzes, and 30, after
all, these gentle birds were not made
wholly in vain.-"Antipodean Travels"

In these days of the prevalent abuse of
tobacco it is well to know that many
habitual tobacco users have been cured
by the following plan: Those who smoke
their first cigarette, say, at z o'clock in
h morning, begin putting it off just
ten minutes past the hour for a few
days, then make it fifteen or twenty min
utes, and SO OF until it will be noon and
the night before the first one is smoked.
1t Is a slow but sure way of tapering off
If faithfully followed, and can be applied
by h abusers of stimulants o. well as
of Observation-Disclosures.
