AN INDIAN JOCKEY.
Ne Sells a Tenderfooted Maine man
Wild Horse.

Washington State Letter to Norway Advertiser
We concluded that we would buy each
pony or "broncho," as they are called and
visit the Wenatchy Valley and perhaps 90
as far as Lake Chelan. Now our first care
was to buy the ponies. These could be
bought at the stables from seventeen dollars
up, while Kiose or Ceyos. which is an In
dian pony, could be bought on the streets
for from eight dollars up to as high as a hun
dred. was fortunate or rather unfortunate
enough to buy pony from an Indian for
twelve dollars. he was only three years old,
very fat and handsome. but thougbtIhe had
rather vicious look However, as the Indian
said he was well broken and as he walked
up and down the street quietly / was per.
suaded he was all right. / asked the Indian
il ha would buck, he replied PONY no buck I"
learned afterwards that the pony was
not broken, only very tired, having only
three days previous oeen taken out of the
wild herd, and in two days been ridden over
hard trail one hundred and fifty miles.
With the help Of a few Indians and a half
dozen cowboys we got my purchase into a
stable and stalled and | went to nv hotel
congratulating myself upon my purchase.
But oh, short sighted tenderfooot that was.

OUR BOYS
The DIssolvlng spectre-A Curious
Optical Illusion.

A writer in recent number Of La Nature
describes most ingenious and beautiful
optical Illusion, which requires no apparatus
except piece Of plate-glass. and can be per-
formed by any one for winter evenings
amusement
A small stage is improvisei In doorway
between two adjoining rooms. The opening
facing the audience should be from one 10
two feet square, and all parts Of the stage
black paper or cloth. When all Is ready, the
door is opened, and in the centre Of the stage
is seen plaster or pastebOard head. Th9
exhibitor takes IL up and passes II round
among the audience and then returns IL to
its place, 1t Immediately begins to take on
lifelike expression; the eyes open, the lips
smile and in a few moments the inanimate
figure Is transformed to living human head,
which even speaks or sings. This begins
shortly TO fade away, and Is transformed In
to cabbage, which In turn Is replaced by an
empty dish which becomes filled with fruit
or flowers, which are passed round among
the audience. On restoring the dish to It's
place, 1t passes through numerous other
transformations, ending finally in the origi-
nal plaster cast.
The accompanying diagram explains the
simple means by which these puZzling efforts
are produced. The line NMAD represents
the front part Of the miniature stage, at the
back Of which is a table AMEG. Placed
dlagonally across the stage at Alb Is a piece

Is Illuminated, while the side at r is In dark

was not. only In form for he was possessed
of a thousand fiends.
On the following morning when 1 went to
spend a few moments, feeding and petting
my beautiful horse, l found everything in
confusion. My beautiful steed had broken
his halter, kicked down his stall, famed or
murdered half the horses in the stable and
left me pretty bill to. pay. On inquiring
where my beautiful broncho was 20 be
found was informed that he was in the
corral, where found him with a lot of mules
with whom he was exchanging few gentle
caresses In the way Of bites and kicks. My
first impulse was to go back to the hotel and
take the next train for the east, but on hear
ing 1t intimated that none but a tenderfoot
would buy horse that he nor anyone else
but an Indian could ride.

dience. Then, II the llgat at Z is slowly
turned down while that at Is raised, the
artificial bust will appear TO transform itself
into the living head The sheet OF glass now
acting as mirror, and rejecting the image
of the object at towards the spectators.
Meanwhile an assistant has placed the cab
bage OF other object at p; and when the
light at the side is lowered, and that at the
back raised again, the second transformation
takes place, and thus the exhibition can Do
continued indefinitely.
In order that the plaster bust may be re-
moved from the stage for inspection, the glass
must be arranged so that the assistant be-
hind the scenes may slide 1t away toward Q
at the right moment. As the glass Is not set
i'm any frame, the movement will not be
noticeable, especially II the front part OF the
stage Is rather dimly lighted Care must be
taken to have all parts OF the stage complete
ly covered with black cloth or paper, so that
the backgrounds on which the images appear
shall have the same appearance In eacn ease.
Plate glass Is much the best Tor this expert
ment but, as 1t Is rather costly, and not al
ways to be obtained, a good quality OF ordi-
nary German" window-glass may serve
good purpose. The size Is unimportanf, as
the stage opening may be made 10 ht any
available piece Of glass; and smaller objects
may be used for the dissolvlng views II the
glass Is to small to admit of the reflection OF
a living head. The minor details and pre-
cautions will suggest themselves TO any one
who attempts to produce this entertaining
optical illusion, which we especially recon-
mend to the attention of our younger read
prs.

Il Has Set the Young Men to Think
inc
Winthrop Budget.

[Winthorp Budget
We are glad to learn that the interview
with Mr.. James p. Baxter inregard to the ad-
men of Maine, copied from the Portland
PRESS, in oar issue of Jan. 4, has set some
here to thinking 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Baxter gave it as his opinion that
the average Maine young man haze little to
gain and much to lose by going West.l There
can be no doubt Of the truth of this. Con
sidered simply as an opinion, 1t is entitled to
great weight, as Mr.. Baxter Is not only a
man Of broad views and sympathies, but also
one of the most successful business men in
Maine, and has had ample opportunity to
thoroughly INTERN himself upon the ques-
ton.
The situation is this. Just as long as
Maine capital seeks investment out of the
| State the young men will follow 1t. This can
| be illustrated by the present condition Of
| things In Winthrop. What chance is there
| for young man to get ahead here? 1t is
| true that large number OF our citizens find
employment in the oilcloth shops, and II
may almost be said that that business is the
| foundation of our prosperity as a community.
The Winthrop Mills also employ many
more. But these places are all full, and in
the oilcloth shops few vacancies occur, as
when man once secures situation there
he seldom leaves it until Obliged to. The
only thing for a young man Of energy and
and ambition to do do is to emigrate and Try
his fortune elsewhere. The loss Of the
young men is much greater evil than the
loss of the capital, for the young men, wher
ever they go, will create capital.
| The development of the resources OF the
State is as yet in its infancy. 1t has been
said that the water power of Maine Is sum
cient to turn every foot of shafting In tnt
world, If it was utilized. Suppose there was
the same amount of capital invested In man
ufacturing enterprises here, in the same pro
portion that there is in the State Of Khod'
Island, what a hive the State would be frou
Kittery to Msdawaskal We would have
population Of least 1dooo,Ooc.

Aroostook Better than Nebraska.


Dr. T. II. Hoskins, editor OF the Vermont
Waterman, tells Of man who gave up hope
in Nebraska ald returned to Vermont some
two years ago, his wife dying soon after
Since then he has. by the help of friends,
been able to establish himself In Aroostook
county, this State, where bis first crop the
past year has been three hundred barrels Of
splendid potatoes" Dr. Hoskins says that
he knows the wild and woody west" pretty
well, and he knows Aroostook; and. know
ing both, he does not hesitate to prefer 100
acres of Aroostcok to a whole prairie In
Dakota or Nebraska.
By the advent Of railroads, northern
Maine is in the way Of being rapidly settled;
but there Is to-day, still unoccupled, more
rich farm land than In all Vermont-land
that can be bought cheap, too. Why people
VIII wander so far abroad, when better
homes are near, is problem hard TO solve.
1t Is likely the easily deluded will be
doomed" out Of New England for some
time yet. But this overflow Is evidently
slackening, and by wise efforts can soon be
stopped. This shows there Is need of bet
ter knowledge of our own superior advan-
tages even among our own citizens. Maine
Is the best State In the Union, all things con-
sidered.. 1t wants persistent and proper
advertising.

We have for long time considered the

papers, and in some respects the best of them

with the exception possibly of the Boston

Republican journal Of Maine, and on that
account alone entitled to the support of all

in its Republicanism. it is as little tainted
with partisan prejudice as any paper in
either party we are acquainted with. AS a

readers who want high toned, conservative
daily, we cordially commend the Press. and
