Heroes Of the Frontier.

No more heroic deed has been recorded
in this territory in years than that of the
poor cowboys who followed their en-
ployers' stock to their death in the fear
full blizzard which ragged over the great
plains of Colfax county last week. These
brave fellows were accustomed to severe
changes of the elements and fully COM
pretended the dangers of night in such
a storm: but they were intrusted with
thousands of dollars worth of property,
and, like true knights Of their profess
sion, they preferred to do their duty and
die rather than abandon the herd and
seek shelter.
Who can think of those daring riders,
following and attempting to control this
vast herd of Infatuated cattle in q blind
ing, freezing storm, as they rushed over
the plains in the shadowy night. now
and again falling over embankments,
without realizing that they were heroes
worthy nobler fate?
Did they shrink from the inevitable re-
suit of such night? No, they rode bold.
ly to death, conscious only that it was
their "duty," and the end was typical of
their race.
Only recently the whole world ap-
plauded sea captain for stopping his
craft long enough to rescue the survivors
of a wreck. 1t was plainly his duty to
do so. And yet he was wined, dined and
made hero of on both continents. To
our mind, while the judgment of these
men may be questioned, they did a far
Drawer act in discharging their duty as
they saw it.
A cowboy is usually considered des-
perado and tough, yet they all have
hearts easily touched, and few there are
among them who do not hold their lives
subject to the order of the "boss' when
in the line-of what they consider their
"duty." Frequently deserving the CEN
sure they receive, yet there is much to
admire in the typical cowboy. He may
break every law of nature and morality
himself. and yet no man has higher re-
gard for virtue, or will fight quicker for
the weak and afflicted, or give more
freely of his scanty means to the poor
and unfortunate. He is usually mis-
guided and badly misunderstood indi-
vidual.-Stock Grower.

"Jim, the Penman."

Sir. Chas. Young's sterling society dra-
ma. of Jim, the Penman," pleased the
audience at the Grand Opera house last
night, and many expressions of pleasure
were heard after the performance. The
company in the cast is hardly as strong as
in former seasons of this play. but that is
hardly fair comparison as the first COM
pany taking this play on the road could
not, nor ever will be improved upon. The
present company is above the average
and carried their roles excellently well,
while the play carries its own interest
from start to close. 1t is a pretty drama,
faithful to reality, concise in its dialogue
and deeply engrossing in plot, and the
action is so quiet yet intense that it is
with regret the curtain is seen to fall on
the last grand climax at the bridal feast.
The company appears again tonight.

NOT isolated CASES.

To show that the cures made by joys Vege-
table Sarsaparilla are not only; not exceptional
cases, but that it helps everybody, we cite few
instances where two in the same family took 1t
and were both cured.
Thomas Stephens, of 1853 Sixth St., s. F., took
it for weak stomach and dyspepsia 1t entirely
cured him. He then gave it to his wife for her
sick headaches, since which time she has had
no return. 1t cured them both.
Mrs. R. L. Wheaton, of 7o4 Post St., s. F., was
sufferer from stomach and liver troubles and
biliousness. Finding that it relieved her, she
gave it to little girl living with her whose af-
Fiction was large open sore which nothing
seemed to heal. 1t also cured the child
H. S. Winn, of Geary Court, Geary St., s. F.,
prominent in the Order OF Red Men, was very
feeble and greatly reduced. joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla restored his health and accustomed
vigor. He thereupon gave it to his wife who
was similarly afflicted and had nervous prostra-
ton. 1t had the same happy effect upon her it
had upon him. Scores of similarc cases could be
cited but we have no room for them here.
