Sometimes a cowboy tries to skin a
steer before the animal is entirely dead,
and when the former gets back to the
place from which he was kicked he finds
that he has fine new set of whiskers
with which to surprise his friends.
The Pacific roads have greatly i'm
proved in recent years, and though they
do not dazzle one with their speed they
are much more comfortable to pass a
few weeks on than they We're when the
eating houses, or many of them, were in
the hands of people who could not cook
very well, but who made good deal of
money. Now YOU can eat from a good
buffet car at your leisure or n first class
dining car. or you can stop off and get a
good meal, or you can carry few hens
and eat hard boiled eggs all over your
neighbors.
] do not think people on the cars ought
to keep hens. 1t disturbs the other pas
sengers and is anything but agreeable to
the hens. Close confinement ia never

cluded to retain it. Some men, with no
special ability in other directions, have
the greatest genius for doing such things,
whilst others, with greater genius in
other ways, do not make money in this
way.
A report got around some time ago that
/ had made misguess on some property.
This is partly true, only it was my wife
who speculated. She had never specu-
lated much before, though she had tried
other open air amusements. So she swap
ped cottage and lots in Hudson, Wis,
for city lots in Minneapolis. employing a
man named Flinton Parsley to do the
trading, look into the title and do the
square thing for her. He was a real good
man, with heavenly aspirations and
real sorrow in his heart for the prevalence
of sin. Still this sorrow did not break in
on his business. Well, the business was
done by correspondence and Mr.. Parsley
only charged a reasonable amount, she
giving him her new carriage to remuner-
ate him for his brain flag. What the
other man paid him for disposing Of the
lots do not know. / was away at the
time, and having no insect powder with
which to take his life, spared him to his
Bible class.
did send man over the lots, how
ever, when / returned. They were not
really in the city of Minneapolis; that is,
they were not near enough to worry any
body by the tumult of town. In fact
they were in saother county. You may
think / am .ying about this, but the lots
are there, e you have any curiosity to
see them. Trey were not where they
were represented 30 be, and the machine
shops and gas works and court house
were quite long distance away.
You could cut some hay on these lots,
but not enough to pay the interest on
the mortgage. Frogs build their nests
there in the spring and rear their young,
but people never go there. Two years
ago Senator Washburn killed bear on
one of these lots, but that is all they
have ever produced, except slight
GOODNESS on our part toward Mr.. Pans
ley. He says he likes the carriage real
well, and anything he can do for us in
the future in dickering for city property
will be done with an alacrity that would
almost make ones head swim. / must
add that have the permission to use this
information, as the victim seems to think
there was something kind of amusing
about it. Some people think a thing
funny which others can hardly get any
amusement out of. What | wonder at
is that he did not ask for the team when
he got the carriage.
Possibly he did not like the team.
/ just learned recently that Parsley and
the Benders used to be very thick in an
early day, but after a while the Blenders
said they guessed they would have to be
excused. Even the Benders had to draw
the line somewhere.
But now | am buying in Salt Lake.

Last week I visited Wyoming a good

whom shook me warmly by the hand as
soon as they saw me. / visited the CAPT.

hour out of respect 10 my memory. |
will never say anything mean of a men,
Der of the legislature again. A speech
Of welcome was made by the gentleman
from Crook county, Mr.. kellogg, the
Demosthenes of the coming state. He
made statements about me that day
which in the paper read almost as good
and truthful as an epitaph.
Going over the hill, at Crow creek,
whose perfumed waters kiss the livery
stables and abattoirs at Camp Carlin,
three slender Sarah Bernhardt coyotes
at me as who should say: "Why, part
ner, how you have fleshed up" Answer
ing them from the platform of the car, I
said: go east, young men, and flesh up
with the country" Honestly and seri-
ously, l do think that if the coyote would
change off and try the soft shell crab for
awhile, he would pick right up.

come was so warm that it almost wiped
out the memory of my shabby welcome
in New York harbor last summer on my
return from Europe, when even my band
went back on me and got drunk al Coney
Island on the very money I had given
them to use in welegning me home
again.
Winter has been little severe along
the cattle ranges, and deceased cattle
may be seen extending their swollen alb
domens into the bright, crisp air as the
train rapidly whirls one along at the rate
of seven to eight miles per hour. The
skinning of a frozen steer is something
to which l alluded awhile ago Col.
| Buffalo Bill, who served under Washing
ton and killed buffalo and 1aby elephants
at Valley Forge, according to an Italian
paper, should have put this feature into
his show. Maybe he will when he reads
this. The cow gentleman first selects a
quick yet steady going mule, then he
looks for dead steer. He does not have
to look very far. He now attaches one
end of the deceased to some permanent
object. This is harder TO find than the
steer, however. He then attaches his
rope to the hide of the remains, having
cut it with his knife first. He next starts
the mule off, and a mile or so away he
discovers that the hide is entirely free
from the cold and pulseless remains.

WRITTEN AT SALT LAKE, IN THE TERRIToRYl
OF UTAH, AND on, WHENEVER
An OPPORTUNITY OCCURRED.
The past week has been one of great
personal interest, although it has had
little effect on public affairs. | have
been visiting my old haunts in Colorado
and Wyoming, after about seven years
of absence. ] have also been in Utah,
where spring has come in the rich valley
of the Jordan and the glossy blackbird,
with wing of flame, scoots gayly from
bough to bough, deftly declaring his af-
fections right and left and acquiring
more wives than he can support, then
clearing his record by claiming to have
had a revelation which made itall right.
One cannot shut his eyes to the fact
that there is great real estate activity
this spring in the west. 1t has taken the
place Of mining and stock, l judge, and
everywhere you hear and see men with
their heads together plotting against the
poor rich man. Yesterday in Salt Lake
saw the sign, Drugs and Real Estate"
l presume it meant medicine and a
small residence lot in the cemetery.
In early days in Denver Henry c.
Brown, then in the full flush and vigor
of manhood, had some talk with the
agent of the Atchison stage line for a
ticket back TO Atchison, as he was heart
broken and homesick. He had quarter
section of land, with a heavy growth of
prairie dogs on it, and he had almost
persuaded the agent to swap him a stage
ticket for this sage brush conservatory,
when he gently backed out Of the trade.
Mr.. Brown then sat him down ON the
sidewalk and cried bitterly.
just tell this to show how easily some
men weep. Atchison is at present so
dead that good cowboy, with an able
mule, could tie to its tail and, putting
