Queen Victoria has evidently found
her mission. 1t is that Of a breeder Of
TAT cattle. Her s%horthorns are huge
huge hunks Of tallow. and take the prize
wherever they are shown. because no
judge would dare to refuse it to her
majesty. This her fellow farmers do
not like, for. they say it destroys their
chances. But all the same her majesty
takes the premium and pockets the
money like a little man. -

would put us to the torture before sum

defiance, and half an hour later every
Indian mounted his horse. The band
divided into four parties, SO as to take
US on all sides, and it now seemed as IL
the pinch had come. If they had the
grit to charge up they could pour q

rode off to the west and were soon out

nothing more of them we turned out

LOOKING BACKWARD.

The melancholy days have come,
The saddest OF the year,
When I am forced to face the fact
That summer time is dear.
Alas! I've not o dollar left,
And what have to show
For all my six months savings
That drew o month ago,
My pretty flannel trousers
Are besmirched with grassy green.
My blue and white-striped blazer
Is too dirty to be seen.
My tennis cap Is faded
To color without name,
And the iaundress has reduced my shirts
To something like the same.
Flowers and ices drives and bon -bons,
Any man is sure to find
Will make his substance vanish
Like the chah before the wind.
What with dancing and with tennis
Though improbable 1t sounds,
weighed myself to day, and found
I'd lost just twenty pounds.
And seated at my desk, ask
Ifit is worth 1t all;
In spriIg l always answer ''yes,"
I'm doubtful In the fall.
But though I've found this outing,
Like all others, short and dear,
Ny inner conscience tells me
That I'll do the same next year.

A GIRLS OWN BROTHER.
Why He Should He Treated with Courtesy
and Consideration.

Why He Should He Treated with Courtesy
and Consideration.
"But, he's my own brother"
Is that any reason why you should
take his courtesies for granted, and
never say ''thank you?"
Is that any reason why you should
not try and make an evening at home
pleasant for him, instead of forcing him
by your selfishness to seek his happi-
ness somewhere else?
Is that any reason why you should
not think his opinion of your frocks
your bonnets or your looks worth con-
sideration?
Is that any reason why you should ap-
pear before him in clumsy wrapper
and with your hair in papers?
Is that. any reason why, when you
have man visitor, he should be made
to feel that you endured your brother
when there was nobody else. but that
when there was-well, then it was diff
ferent?
Is that any reason why you should not
be glad of dance or game with him
as your partner?
Is that any reason why you should not
listen to his word of advice about other
girls or their brothers?
Is that any reason why you should
not be interested in his story of the
shooting or the hunting, whe n. you are
in the same tales from other people?
Is that any reason why you should
push him to the wall except when you
need him, and then claim his attention
as your right?
Because he is your very own brother
you ought to be ten.fold more consid-
crate of him than Of the brothers Of
other girls. Because he is your very
own brother you ought to study his
tastes and cater to them; read the books
that he likes and suggest others to him,
study the songs he fancies and be glad
to make new ones known to him. In
this way you will make your brother
your rery oscn, and to him ''sister" will
be the most delightful among girls.
Are you your brothers keeper? Yes, in
a way; but you do not keep him by
fetters formed of ill-temper. untidiness
and lack of courtesy, but by one made
of every feminine grace and frightened
by sisterly love. That is the keeper
that will give you your brothers. love
and make you worthy the heart o. some
other girls brother, too.-Lsdies' Home

ever. For the first six months, however,
he had things pretty much his own way,
rs the troops in garrison we're not strong
enough to take the field against him, and
some Of the posts were even besieged now
and then. Our lines Of Communication
had to be kept open, and this duty de-
volved upon the scouts. Sometimes we
rode in twos and threes, but generally
it was safest to make the trip alone. In
such cases we travelled by night, and de-
pended on dodging the Indians
The direct route between these posts
was over an open country, broken with

but never took that route. ] kept to

journey by fifty miles, had q show for
getting safely through. had made it
three times, when the Indians became
80 troublesome at McKavett that the
commandant at Concho was ordered to
re-enforce the garrison from his own
weak force. It was decided to send ten
men, and scout named Rogers and my
self were to pilot them. The day before
we left Concho the Indians drove in our
herders and were so defiant that we
knew they must be in force. Not
withstanding this fact, when we got
ready to 60 the Lieutenant in charge of
the party determined to take the most
direct route, which covered distance
of about sixty-five miles. He further
planned that we we're to ride all night
and finish the rest of the distance by
daylight. The name of this officer was
Walton. II remember right he had
been Major in colored regimentduring
the war, but had seen no service. After
the war he had been transferred to the
regulars as a Second Lientnant had
scarcely noticed him while in and out OF
the post, and now when I came to size
him up was greatly disappointed. He
knew nothing whatever of Indian war
fare, but was very conceited and egotis-
tical. His instructions to us were:
1--WE will head straight for McKavett
by the shortest route, and IL we meet
any Indians we will ride them down"
When Rogers and were alone he
said to me:
Diu everybody long goodbye be-
fore you start for you are going to your
death"
"You don't like him ?'
His ignorance and conceit will be

felt so, too, but it was no use to
argue the matter. Like many other
fresh officers, Walton looked upon the
Indians as towards. who attacked only
lone or defenseless settlers, and who
would be overawed by the sight of !
