Governor Alexander Stephens-dying
a few years ago-persisted in having all
business matters brought to his bedside.
There was on the table a petition for the
pardon of n distinguished criminal; the
petition was signed by distinguished
men There was also on that table a
letter from a poor woman in the peni-
tertiary, written and signed by herself
alone. Dying" said the great governor.
You think that because l have been ill
so many times and got well that / shall
get well now, but you are mistaken; l
will not o Where is that letter
by that woman in the penitentiary? /
think she has suffered enough. AS near
as | can tell she has no friends. Bring
me that paper that / may sign her par

A gentleman standing by, thinking
this too great a responsibility for the
sick man, said, Governor, you are very
sick now, perhaps you had better wait
till tomorrow; you may feel stronger
and You may feel better" Then the eve
Of the old governor flashed, and he said,
II know what l am about" Putting his
signature to that pardon he wrote the
last word he ever wrote, for then the
pen fell from his pale and rheumatic
and dying hand forever. How beauti-
full that the closing hours of life should
be spent in helping one who had no
helperl-Dr. Talmage in Ladies' Home

francs, (SllO, 6OOJ and brought to New

Here is a brief description Of the picture.
1t represents a young man and maiden
pausinR from their work IN the fields to
listen to the tollinR Of "Angelus," them
selves joining in evening prayer. The
sun has already sunk below the horizon.
The sky is still luminous with the warm
golden light which gives a peculiar glow
ing color to the surrounding fields. The
young couple have been busy harvesting
the potato crop. They stand quietly in
the foreground, their figures clearly cut
against the vivid background. Their at
titudes express the devout religious senti-
ments of rustic piety. Both send in ST.
lence a feeling prayer to their Maker,
while the bells are ringing the "Angelus'
THE evening prayer in the belfry Of the
quaint little village church. which is seen
far away on the horizon, clearly defined
against the golden sky.

IT depends a good deal on whose OK is
Rored, When the shipments Of cattle
from the South were unloaded at Wcnd-
over and the herds ravaged the ranges
thereabouts there was never a word of
protest went up from the Sun, Now
that they are being unloaded at Grin
Junction and trailed over the Carey
ranges and those of the Ogalalla company
it seems to be entirely different and dark
hints Of Texas fever are being thrown
out. 1t is certainly not a very desirable
thing to have thousands of cattle trailed
over ones range, particularly when the
cattle are destined for another state, but
TO be consistent the howl should have
gone up when Wendover was the ter
minsl point aud the surrounding country
was being eaten up BY the migratory
herds.

A physician who has noted the dreari-
ness Of the typical waiting room for pa
tients and its evil effects on people al
ready in an unhappy frame of mind from
bodily ills has devoted some time to
making his reception rooms as cheerful
and lively as good taste will permit. In
place OF bare, white walls, with an odd
print or two upon them, a bookcase con-
tanning dry medical works and a stand
filled with stiff looking bric-a-brac, he
has an abundance of well executed
paintings or prints, the subjects of
which are of an interesting and cheerful
nature. The center table is covered
with copies of the latest novels, illus
trRted magazines and files of the humor-
GUS weekly papers. The furniture i'm
cludes several large easy chairs, so rest
full that when once settled in one Of
them a person is reluctant to get up
again.
at costs something to do all this"
said he, but it is certainly n good in
vestment. Waiting in u dull, cherries
room is very trying to the nerves, and
most visitors to doctors office are nerv-
Gus and irritable. Like all reforms,
however, it is carried to excess by some
physicians. | know several who have
the walls of their reception rooms com
pletely covered with oil paintings, so
that the room looks like a badly crowded
picture gallery. But the idea is a good
n and is rapidly gaining ground" ~

THE WET MONTH OF MAY

According to the monthly summary OF

10 that year the rainfall footed up 4.s3
inches, while in the present year it
amounted to 4.72 inches. In Nav of last
year it amounted to only O.Sl inches,
There was only six cloudless ami fifteen
partly cloudy days during the month-ap
extraordinary record for Wyoming. The
lowest recorded rainfall for any month Of
May during the past twenty years was 0. 81
inches in 1886. The mean temperature
OF the month averages fairly well with the
record. 1t was 81, a degree lower than
last year. The lowest record is Is in 1858

AsUccEssFuL ENTERTAINMENT
Mrs MARY Calhoun Dixon Delights a
Large Audience at the CongTe-
gatIonaI Church.

The Congregational church was crowded
last evening with ar audience delighted
with the entertainment given by Mary
Calhoun Dixon, the eIocutiouist, assisted
by local talent for sthe musical portion Of
the programme.
Mrs DiIon's selections are pathetic,
humorous, dramatic and emotional and it
Is not over praise to say tnRt in eacL. she
is a master OF the r~ecitAtionist's art. The
Trial Scene, from the Merchant Of Ven.
ice is perhaps the most difficult selection,
six characters being p~ersonated. and all.
from the clear, feminine tones of ''Portia"
to the raspiGg u~tterances OF old Shy.
lock, being vivid conceptions Of the diff.
ierent characters.
The entire program was as follows:
Piano
800 Misses Ada and Maud Johnston
The Trials Of a Wife" and Trial
Scene, Merchant of Venice.
......-....... .....-......-....Mrs Dixon
Vocal Solo .......M Miss Nellie Dryer
An Interview with the Boss Mason"
and The Old Actors Story"

Miss johnson, accompanist
The Old Man in the Model Church"
and a Kansas City Sketch" an
original composition Mrs Dixon
In response to a request Mrs. Dixon re-.
cited Josiah Aliens Wife's Visit to A.
T. Stewards"
Mrs. Dixon's voice is remarkable in its
compass and training. She is free from
extravagant gestures and in gestures and
expression is natural and easy. Her
humor is infectious and in The Interview
with the Boss Mason" and "How Ruby
Played the audience followed her with a
continual ripple of laughter.
The musical members we're in keeping
with the literary part of the programme
and were thoroughly ENJOYED. Mus
DIVERS vocal solo won her an enthusias.
tic recall, aud Prof. Hutchinson was also
encored after a violin solo. The piano
duets Of Misses Maud and Ada Johnston
and Miss Lena Inghan and Prof. Inman
were highly appreciated. Prof Passmore
and Miss Johnston were accompanies.
An effort will be made to have Mrs.
Dixon give another reading here before
long.

Yesterday. For his age he is perhaps tie
largest boy in cheyenne. His birthday
was celebrated by a very enjoyable dinner
party given by Mr.. and Mrs. Bohnsted TO
a number OF friends and ~neiehbors.
Among those who were present we're Mr..

Inns, Master Harry Lawrence, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ferguson and Mr.. O'Donnell. A
very substantial and elaborate dinner was
enjoyed by all present and Master Fred

Fine social intercourse is really the
hnest OF the fine arts; and II painting
and sculpture and architecture are worth
c~herishing, so is that higher standard of
n without which these things are
merely a misplaced fringe for barbarism.
1t Is true that manners Joined with
nothing better are disappointing. 1t is
true that u hungry man would rather
dine with a boor on vension than with
Duke Humphrey on his proverbial dianer
that is, ON nothing. But If the boor-
ishness destroys ones appetite, where il
the good Of vension2 and "a dinner Of
herbs where love is"-or even where re-
finement is-turns out the better bill Of
fare. The true charm OF fine manner
is best seen in poverty, when sttainabls
there; but wealth is doubtless the better
school for them ~ first, and this is one
reason why men are tempted by wealth.
The English word "means," or the
phrase "a man of means, " is very instruc-
tive, for it views property but as a means
toward something more important. And
though many men go no further than
the means, yet it is something that we
have this great truth recognized in Ian
guage. So all the love for fashionable
novels is really an expression Of a long
ing after the refinements of life. And
though the society columns" are often
made up largely of the doings of the so
cially obscure, and though the socially
prominent usually try to keep out Of
them, yet they are nc doubt a humble
school for good manne to those readers
who distrust themselves. The young
girl who with vague admiration reads Of
Mrs. AS and Mrs. BIS entertainments
perhaps acquires the wish that when
she also il annexed to some matrimonial
letter of the alphabet, she also may have
an attractive home.-T. w. Higginson
in Harper's Bazaar.
