WYOMING JOURNALISM.
The Trials and Fluctuations of an Editor
 in the Far West.


 in the Far West.
 'You may talk about the hard times experienced by the spring poet and the continuous hustling of the reporter who writes specials for a metropolitan newspaper, but all these are nothing compared to the trials and perplexities of an editor in the Far West"
 This, from T. B. Waters, editor and owner of paper at Silver Cliffs, Wyo., ought to be accurate, says the Chicago Tribune.
 'Out in Wyoming" he continued, ''we sometimes have to get assistance from those who know nothing of the newspaper business, and the mistakes these novices make are disastrous. About month ago we had at Silver Cliffs a big political meeting, roller skating tournament, and wedding the same night. I could not attend all three events, so got our town clerk to write up the wedding for me. He came in late and turned his copy in without looking at it. Then I went home and let my brother get out the paper. When read tho account of that wedding next morning I was fit subject for an in- sane asylum. After stating that Bill Lane and Mary Sabin were married, the account proceeded to describe the cos tunes like this:
 "'Sarah Baker, red frock, white sack, and hair punched; Emma Hill, green dress, high-hecled slippers; Mabel Bull, some kindyOf thin stuff, white, and tied up with red tape, and hair frizzled; Ellen Graves, red hair, red dress, feet in front and stuck out mile behind; Emma English, dressed to kill, gcnu- inc velvet dress and seven rows of teeth on her gloves, her hair a dead yellow; Frankie Bean, hair tied up like 8 Vienna roll and had lot of vegetables in it, her dress hoisted up the side with a pretty rope; Winnie Churchill, hair frescoed, last summers dress with few new trimmings
 That's the way the account read. While it was not noticed much at home it gave my rivals down the Elkhorn Valley chance to poke little fun at

THE DOCTORS SKELETON. How He Obtained the Corpse Which
 Furnished It.

Every family is supposed to have a skeleton in it's closet" remarked Dr. Wheeler of Wichita, Kan, to party of friends who met him at the Union de- pot last night, says the Kansas City Times. ''l had ono in my closet until this week, when I shipped it to the Michigan State University. I don't want to see 1t again.
 ''It happened like this: Many years ago whcn 1 commenced the practice of medicine in small Missouri town, the Jesse James boys paid us visit. They raided the bank and got away with six thousand dollars, but firing was pretty general on both sides. l had revolver, and during the general excite ment shot one of the robbers. He was dead when wo picked him up. A finer specimen of physical manhood I have never seen. The natives in tho little Mis- souri village made no objection when I claimed the youths skeleton as my prize.
 Last week, one rainy night about eleven o'clock, a genuine old-fashioned frontiersman came to my oft1ce. He
  a skeleton in my closet. His face was bearded and sunburnt, but there was something about him that made me think of the young man l had killed many years before. was alone in the office, and didn't like tho color of the visitors eye. However, I answered his question in the affirmative
 ''Let me see the skeletonT' said my queer visitor.
 ''It would scarcely do to refuse. I walked to the rear of the office, where there was small table out of sight of my visitor. I drow out from the desk a revolver, tho same one that had ended the career of the youthful bandit years before. Holding it in my hand, I stepped to the closet, threw open the door, and remarked with as much cool ness as I could command by forced of will:
 There is the sl1eletonp
 Put up your revolver remarked the stranger. I won't hurt you. If I had wanted to shoot you I would have killed you when I came into tho office. l have just been down in Oklahoma, and l am on my way back to Tennessee. heard the story of your killing one of the gang, and as near as I can make out it was my boy that was killed. He ran away from home when only twelve years old, and I never saw him after that. don't hold any grudge against you. You did what was right, 1 suppose. But I thought would take this chance to sec what is left of the poor boy
 ''I then showed tho stranger the skel- eton, which was handsomely mounted, and described the rad as briefly and gently as possible. The old pioneers only remark as he gazed upon all that was left of his hoy was: Well, he was a big fellow. waGn't he?'r

PROFITABLE VOICES.
What Choir Singers Are Paid in the
 Large Cities of the Country.

Large CIIieS or EEe Country.
 1 A soprano, in an average city, will be paid, as a beginner, anywhere from S2OO to $500 per annum, writes E. Aline Os- good in the Ladies' Home Journal As she becomes better known, and is in moro thorough command of her voice, she will average from $500 to $500. Bos- ton pays about S2O0 per annum better to choir singers than any other city in my knowledge. Several sopranos thcro re- ceive yearly salaries of $l, ,OOO and S1, 200, and few $500.
 l A woman with good contralto voice will begin at an annual salary of S20O which, if she is successful, may rise to an average of $500. There are two churches in Philadelphia, I believe, which pay their contraltos S4O0; but this, in cities outside of Boston, which, as with sopranos, average about S20O higher, is unusual, And even a genu- inc alto-that rarest of things in these days-will command but from S300 to S400 per annum. Tho Hub. of course, does better than this, by add ing S20O; but even with this addition. none of these sa.aries appear precisely eXtravagant, or to admit of much luxury in living, and salaries are rarely in creased. Should rival church make an offer for voice, if the first church is desirous of retaining it, the rivals price is outbid, and the voice retained.
 But this is the only reason, of which l have knowledge, for increasing sal aries. However, it must be remembered that this salary is paid for singing only at two services, and for attendance at one or two rehearsals week All the rest of the singers time is her own to dispose of as she pleases. Prove she an apt pupil to her new master, he will send to her, for instructions, scholars whom he has not the time to teach. Or she may secure engagements to sing at different church concerts, or, laying aside her music, may take to sewing, painting, decorating, or any of the many ways in which girls are able to make Q living. No work must be undertaken which will in any way conflict with the choir singing, for this, remember, is the reason of her existence. She is first and before all else a singer; that is her profession. Let this never be forgotten.

Telecra phic Postal Cards.

One of the Improvements in tho postal service of our largo cities which might be considered is the adoption of tho tel egraphic postal card, which is such 8 great convenience in Paris. Open cards of this kind are delivered anywhere in Paris within an hour after they have been mailed for six cents; closed ones, giving as much room as an ordinary letter, ten cents. The cards are blown by pneumatic dispatch from central stations to the postal bureaux nearest their addresses, and are then delivered by messenger boys.

He sat down with IN air OF impudent in
dependence, and looked round the room.
A little cabinet, containing liquors., stood
open on the sideboard. Mr. Vimpany got
up again. May | take friendly liber-
typ he said-and helped himself. without
waiting for permission.
Hugh bore with this, mindful of the
mistake that he had committed in con-

same time, he was sufficiently irritated to
take a friendly liberty. on his side He
crossed the room to the sideboard, and
locked up the liquors. Mr. Vimpany's
brazen face flushed deeply (not with
shame); he opened his lips to say some
thing worthy of himself. controlled the
impulse, and burst into a boisterous
laugh. He evidently had some favor still
to ask.
"Devilish goodr' he broke out cheerful

He was too deeply touched to be able to
speak to her-and she saw it. "What a
wretch ann she said to herself; ''I have
made his heart ache"
He heard those words. Still feeling for
her-never, never for himself-he tried to
soothe her In the passion of her self-re-
proach she refused to hear him. Pacing
the room from end to end she famed the
fiery emotion that was consuming her.
Now she reviled herself in language that
broke through the restraints by which
good breeding sets its seal on a woman's
social rank. And now, again. she lost her.
