the Woter supply Question:.
While journeying east on q Texas and
Pacific train not long since, your COR
respondent heard the following story of
n stockman's experience with the all
absorbing water supply question. Said he
"When 1 was forced to move my stock
away from the watering holes along the
streams my trouble began. I must get
water for the herds from wells or aban-
don the cattle business. knew nothing
about pumps or wind mills, but it was .
ground hog case , [ must use some kind
of machinery, so, after 1 dug my wells,
I took the first thing in the way of q
pump that was recommended. 1t was
my misfortune to fall into the hands of g
man who knew all about It, and he ex-
tolled the virtues of a tin pump. He
talked 80 smooth and nice that l loaded
up with this class of pumps, dug my
wells, and prepared to snap my fingers
at the men who had 'gobbled' the
watered lands, but it was no go The
trouble came fast and more of 1T, and I
fell into the habit of asking and follow
ing every mans advice who took the
trouble to offer any. Soon l had a stock
of tin pumps, iron pumps, anti-freezing
pump heads, small pipe, brass rods,
wooden wind mills, iron wind mills, etc.,
stacked about my ranoh. but still my cat
tie were starving for water, and 1 began
to figure on abandoning the whole BUSH
ness, and going cunning for wind mill
and pump agents as a matter of revenge
but 1 just want to say that 1 I'm fixed now.
I heard of the U. S. Solid Wheel Wind
Mill and thought that as cattle business
was more to my liking than scalping
wind mill agents, 1 would give the matter
one more trial before I began the work
of determination. l did so, and am
happy to say 1 now have a good number
of those mills with first-olass pumps,
such as are furnished with them, and
all the water 1 want. / can water

900 Courthouse.

While the movement to have the coun-
ty commissioners increase the $3.50 900
appropriation for q new courthouse to
double that sum Is a quiet one, it is an
earnest effort, in which some of our best
citizens are interested. Several sugges-
tions nave been heard as to the best
method of approaching the country
people on the subject, but these
are expected to oppose any increase Of
the sum already appropriated, and il is
generally understood that they must be
approached cautiously. In other words,
seeking supporters for the project to in
crease the amount to $500 900 on the
farm is walking on dangerous ground.
One gentleman thinks that the
good work should be done
through the magistrates, be-
cause, as he puts it. ''if the justices of
the peace be with us, who can be against
us?" Others suggest a Ava of the
county with petitions TO which signatures
may be gotten. Half q dozen plans are
in embryo, but none has been adopted
and the matter may be left where it is at
present, unless some u takes a more
vigorous interest IN the matter thar is
being taken at present.

WaStefuI Advertising.

Discriminating merchants long ago abandoned the circular and gutterslipe methods of advertising. For the amount of hard cash 1t takes to fairly circulate 5000 hand bills you can place an attract i've ad. in reputable and well circu- lated newspaper in way to bring many times the returns that can possibly come from the older and nearly obsolete meth cd of announcement.
 People buy newspaper to read it; they do not buy or want the guttersnipe, and they don't read it. Not one person in ten ever glances at the dodger that is thrust in his hand at the street corner before he consigns 1t to the gutter. He only consents to receive it at all out of sympathy for the poor fellow who is making more or less honest effort to get rid of his armful of bills; and the one fellow in ten who does look at the dodger first sweeps the horizon with his weather eye to see that no one observes him read ing the affair. An announcement read in this way-or not at all-isn't going to startle any one by the magnitude of the returns.

Bill NefY and the Lynx Both Surprised.

Bill NeR and the Lynx Both Surprised.
 A large lynx made visit to Bill Neff's cabin on the Emerald and made a lengthy stay-in fact, MT. Lynx is there yet. The animal was attracted by some meat that was hanging out side the door of the cabin. There was no lock or bolt to secure the opening, and while it was climbing up to reach the meat the door swung open and al lowed the lynx to founder in, where he proved genuine surprise party to Bill, who was willing away the hours by reading tiger steries. It was hard to tell which was the most surprised, the lynx or the man, but the former evidently thought Bill meant business when it saw him reach for the ax, and at once made a spring.
 For several minutes they fought at close quarters, and at last Bill broke away from the beast and climbed up on the sleeping bunk, where he could get elbow room to swing his weapon. On came the lynx, but missed his footing. This was Bills time. As the animal made another spring for the bunk, the ax was swung aloft and the pole was brought down on the skull of the ami mai with the usual "dull, sickening thud" The lynx dropped in heap, and Bill came down from his perch to find that his blow had smashed the skull. The animal was stone dead. Neff's clothes were torn to tatters, and he says the lynx weighed 150 pounds. We are promised one of the paws, which covers surface larger than @ mans hand, and shall be pleased to show it to any one who doubts tho story. Miner.

1t Was the Cat.

: From Chicago comes story of a babe, months old, being killed by @ big cat, which sucked the infants breath" Although well informed per sons say that cats do not ''suck the breath," but sometimes suffocate the child by cuddling up on it's breast and throat for warmth, the gossips will have it that the Chicago case is well founded. On Monday afternoon the baby was put in the cradle, the cat be- ing placed alongside it for plaything. During the afternoon 1t was noticed that the cat kept continually near the baby's bed,' but little attention was paid to this In the evening the mother, thinking her child was sleeping more quietly than usual, went to the cradle to take it out, and was mortified to find the infant dead. 1.-The cat had sucked it's life away" Efforts were made to resuscitate the child, but with out avail The cat is one of the com mon species and particularly large. It has been household pet for several years. Philadelphia Ledger.

Athletics and College Popularity.

How far colleges popularity de bends upon it's success in athletics is still a disputed question, Many of the younger college graduates maintain that when a college has made a brill iant record in athletics the tide, turns in that direction. Older men. are not so willing to admit this, at least in whole. There have been several up sets in athletics recently. Yale un- doubtedly leads all colleges today in her athletic achievements Princeton's record last year was admirable. liar yard seems to be in an unhappy posi- hon. Perhaps if we watch the attend ance lists of entering college men we shall be able to make up our minds this year as to the influence on young mems choice which victories on the water and on the field exert" This is the opinion of college graduate who believes in all legitimate encourage ment of athletics, and who yet prefers to believe that most men go to college for the college not for it's athletic pos abilities.
