They were all shooters and they were re-
turning from the big shoot.
II say" said one of the experts to his
| companion, "have you noticed Charley
Reams particularly during yesterday and
| o-day?"
"Well, yes" was the reply, she doesn't
appear to be himself He's been acting
like man in trance. Has anything hap
pened to him?"
"Ha! hal hal Anything happened?
Well, rather. Nothing so very serious, but
humorous although not very humorous
to Charley"
TELL me about it."
well, you know, Reams is now Sacra-
mentab, but only recently came here from
Vacaville. He worked hard during the
State Fair, and went down to his old home
after it was over for rest. He's great
crank on shooting though, and would not
have missed the State Sportsmen's shoot
for anything. He started for Sacramento
the night before the shoot began and
boarded the Oregon Express at Elmira. He
fell asleep on the way up, and when the
train rolled into the depot here he was
snoring at great rate He continued to
snore when the train pulled out and did not
wake up until compelled to by the con-
ductor, who wanted another fare. Charley
declared that ne DdQ palQ already, anu
warm discussion ensued until the truth
was reached. The next place, of course,
was Roseville, and Charley dropped off
there. Then his troubles commenced.
There was not a house open or a soul in
sight. 1t was bitter cold, and Charley
didn't have his sealskin with him. There
would be no down train for four hours.
Well, he had to make the best of it, OF
course, and proceeded to patrol the plat
form. He had shivered and stamped about
for nearly three hours and half, and was
numb with the cold. He was just contem
plating taking brisk run up and down the
railroad track to warm up, when be heard
a savage growl behind him. Turning
around, Charley saw pair of glowing eyes
and a shadowy form advancing toward him.
Was it q bear or lion or only a dog
Charley didn't know, and he didn't wait to
inquire. He just took to his heels and ran
around that station like crazy man. The
canine-for that is what it was-gave chase,
and kept within yard or two of Charley's
heels. Round and round they went. Poor
Charley at the end OF half an hours sprint
ing was nearly dead. He was just about to
give up, when the down-train hove
into view, and the canine fled. The
poor man admits that he was scared
out of a years growth. Do you wonder
that he has been looking queer during the
last couple of days"

A well. known local job printer told this

a Weil-Known local JoD printer TOLD THIS
one:
A motherly looking, middle-aged lady
dropped into his place of business and ex-
hibited about yard of wide blue ribbon.
II want you to take this" she said to the
printer, 'and print on il, - This is Tommy
Jones, of 739 Blank street! Put in big let
tiers, please"
well, do you only want one printed"
asked the printer.
That's ALL"
The printer explained that it would be
rather an expensive job for only Que i'm
preston, but the lady didn't care, she said,
and would pay whatever was asked.
Then the gentleman's curiosity asserted
itself, and he inquired what she intended
doing With the ribbon and its inscription.
well, she said, II have little son who
has a mania for losing himself, have
had more trouble with him on that account
than anybody l ever heard of. Nearly
every week l have to appeal to the police
to help me find my boy, and it occurs so
often that am ashamed to go to the police
station any more. My plan now is to sew
this ribbon to the waist of his trousers and
then turn him loose. He can get lost as
often as he pleases then and people will see
the ribbon and bring him home"
Mothers who read this will no doubt
bless this lady. She has indeed solved the
problem of the age.

1t has long been conceded that hotel
clerks become the greatest of all experts in
human nature-the most successful stu
dents.
The car reporter was convinced of the
truthfulness of this the other day.
Lee Bell, the genial night clerk of the
Golden Eagle shared the reporter seat on an
afternoon outward bound open car, and the
conversation was drifting from baseball to
horse races, prize-6ehts and the like, when
the car was hailed by a young couple at
Tenth street.
Newly married." whispered the clerk,
nudging the reporter and Jerking his
thumb over his shoulder toward the APP
preaching couple.
True, they were both young, but there
was nothing in their appearance to indicate
that they were but recently joined in the
holy bonds of mairimony.
do you know them ?" asked the scribe
Nope"
Ever see them before?'
"Oh, yes; once. They came up from
San Francisco last night and stopped at the
hotel"
Then, they told you about it,"
mo, they didn't, either. Nobody told
me of 1t. lust simply sized them up and
knew that they were brand new"
Explain. How do you tell?"
Easiest thing In the world. They re-
gistered-or, rather, the husband registered
for both-as Mr.. and Mrs. Blank. That's
what gives it all away. When they are
new they register as Mr.. and Mrs. every
time-never known to fail. The d.timer
always registers John Jones and wife, or
whatever his name may be, you know.
Just look into the matter, and see if I'm
not right

Another question on which we will
ask candidates for nomination to CON-
nit themselves is that Of railroad reg
ulations. The great difficulty is in dis
elimination in favor Of terminal points
against the Villages and rural districts.
We think the remedy is to be found
principally through the Interstate
Commerce law. 1t must be so amended
that the charge will be by wheelage.
That is the gist of the resolution we
passed on the subject at St. Louis. If
this does not give relief, then We are
for Government control Of railroads.
We decided to waive all minor consid-
erations and concentrate our whole
stlen. tn on these two measures. With
the first secured, we think the rest will
follow of themselves, for with cur
rency system expanded to meet the
necessity OF the harvest, the farmers
will soon be able to build all the rail-
roads we need if it should become
necessary"

prevents her from dropping filth while
milking is being done When finished
milking, the drop is raised, clamp swung
back against the wall, and stanchion
bars thrown open, when COW steps out
and another takes the place.
My milking room is arranged for two
milkmen, one operates at each end,
door in the middle, milk shelf, with a
soft brush for cleaning the udder, and
broom to sweep floor. A small boy
may turn bars and hook up the COWS in
the baln as fast as they are called for,
and the COWS soon become drilled in
systematic habit that is excelled only
by the military discipline Of the soldier,
and they march from their stalls TO

ger is barrel OF ground feed, some of
which is kept in the maDger while tie

The floor, AMI in f.ct the whole
building-which should be used ex-
clusively fer milking purposes-may be
kept as clean as parlor, aid instead
of milking being a drudgery it may be
a really attractive and interesting piece

The Bride Rides a Mule,

A marriage celebration in Algeria is
an interesting relic of ancient customs.l
The bridegroom goes to bring a bride,
and the guests assembled outside the
house will wait for his coming. Soon the
sound of pipe is heard coming from the
summit of some neighboring hill, and
the marriage procession approaches the
bridegroom's house.
The pipers always come first in the
procession, then the bride muffled up in
veil. riding mule led by her lover
Then comes a bevy of gorgeously dressed
damsels, sparkling with silver orna1
ments, after which the friends of the
bride follow.
The procession stops in front of the
bridegroom's house, and the girls friends
line both sides of the pathway. The
bridegroom lifts the girl from the mule
and holds her in his arms. The girls
friends thereupon throw earth at the
bridegroom when he hurries forward
and carries her over the threshold of his
house. Those about the door beat him
with olive branches, amid much laugh
ter.
In the evening, on some occasions, the
pipers and drummers are called in, and
the women dance, two at time, facing
each other; nor does couple desist
until, painting and exhausted, they step
aside to make room for another. The
dance has great energy of movement
though the steps are small and changes
of position slight, the dancers only cir
cling round occasionally.
But they swing their bodies about with
an astonishing energy and supplenessI
AS leaves nuttcr before the gale, SO do
they vibrate to the music; they shake;
they shiver and trembie; they extend
quivering arms, wave wells, and their
minds seem lost in the abandon and
frenzy of the dance, while the other wo-
men, looking on, encourage by their
high, piercing, thrilling cries, which add
to the noise of the pipes and drums

Wellington's Plans.

Before the battle of Waterloo, no one
was probably moro uneasy than Lord
Uxbridge, who, if Wellington should be
killed, would be called upon to succeed
him in command, and who knew nothing
whatever about the dukes plans.
81 am in a very difficult position, he
said to a friend. ''If any accident hap
pens to the duke, 1 shall find myself COM
mander-in-chief. Iwould give anything
in the world to know the dukes projects,
and yet dare not ask him what l ought
to do"
After some consultation on the subject,
they went together to Wellington and
frankly told Linn the difficulty in hand. :
The duke listened without impotence,
and at the end of Lord Uxbridge's speech,
he said, calmly: "Who will attack the
first tomorrow, or Bonaparte?"
"Donaparte." replied Lord Uxbridge.
well" continued the duke, Bona!
parte has not given me any idea of his
projects, and, as my plans will depend
upon his, how can you expect me to tell
you what mine are?"
Lord Uxbridge bowed and made no
reply The duke rose, and continued,
touching him in q friendly way on the
shoulder:
"There is one thing certain, Uxbridge
that is, that whatever happens, you
and will do our duty"
He then shook his hand warmly, and
they separated, Lord Uxbridge no wiser
than before, yet feeling that Wellington
had trusted him exactly as far as his
reticent nature would allow.
Yet the great duke did depend in a
great measure upon the application Of
common sense to the needs of the mo-
ment. When he was once asked how he
succeeded in conquering Napoleon's mar
shals, one after another, he replied:
They planned their campaigns just
as you might make splendid set of har4
ness. 1t looks very well and answers
very well until it gets broken, and then
you are done for. Now, l make my
campaign of ropes. If anything went
wrong, l tied a knot and went on
Exchange.
