have small sympathy with any woman
tho manifests a stolid indifference to her
own dress, and for the sake of being con-
sidered 'sbrainy" and eccentric" allows
herself to appear in public in a slatternly
and unbeeoming dress. It is q duty every
woman owes the Lord who made her and
the beautif world she lives in TO make
the most of herself, both physically. men
tally and OF herwise. II God had not loved
beat ~ be would have sogn it so broadcast
and layished it so bounteously upon sunset
skies, tulip beds and autumn leaves.
But there are other aims in life besiCes
the purpose to be beautiful and well dress
ed. The woman who thinks CT nothing
else is stupid and tiresome. And il one
is too poor to crafty the liking for pretty
clothes, it is infinitely more to ones credit
that one goes unbecomingly Gowned and
shabby as to footwear, etc., than if one
ran into debt to keep up appearances, or
defrauded another to make her gains.
Do not judge always by appearances,
then; it is an unsafe thing to do in a world
where every face is colored by a eircum-
stance, like the water in the jar behind the
lighted apothecary window.-4Hber N

THANK YOU

Two words Of one syllable each; but
what a deal Of good breeding they express!
The little child that accepts a gift, however
trifling, with these two words, shows
thereby that his parents are not forgetful
to observe the amenities and eourtesies of
life, and men and women who are careful
to observe the unwritten laws Of decent
society, which requires the utJerance of
those two brief words for fayors done,
evince by their mode Of utteraace their
true stage of refinement. There are those
who think it English. you know" to
drawl out ''Th-a-n-k-si' not to mention
that hideous expression, Thanks, awful
lyl" But may the day be far distant when
the plain, Anglo-Saxon, honorable Thank
you,' shall cease to be the proper form of
expressing thanks that are felt as well as
uttered.
Meanwhile, let no enc forget to sap to
those who show him favors, Thank your
for thereby he proves himself to be to that
extent a gentleman.

VALUE OF LEISURE MOMENTS.

Two men stood at the same table in a
large factory in Philadelphia, at the same
trade. Having an hour for their nooning
every day, each undertook to use it in
accomplishing a definite purpose; each
persevered for about the same number of
months, and each had success st last.
Ore of the two mechanics used his daily
leisure hour in working out the invention
of a machine for saving a block of wood
into almost any desired shape. When his
invention was complete be sold the patent
for a fortune, changed his workman's
apron for a broadcIoth suit, and moved
out of a tenement-house into a brown stone
mansion.
The other man-what did be do? Well,
he spent an hour each day during the
most of the year in the very difficult un
dertaking of teaching a little dog to stand
on his hind feet and dance a jig. AT last
accounts he VAS working ten hours a day
at the same trade and at his old wages, and
finding fault 18th the fate that made his
fellow-workman rich while leaving him
poor.
Leisure moments may bring golden grain
to the mind as well as TO the parse, if one
harvests wheat instead of ehaf.-W Vide

A Hint to the Poets.

Oh, poet of Autumn! sing me a song that Is all
replete
With the noiseo of the great cane ~grindings, and
the Juice that is dripping sweet!
Leave the Autumn leaves to the spelling ofthe
wintry vim and frost,
And sing me the sugar boiling, ere the Juice OF
the cane is lost.
Sing sweet-not OF woods emblazoned with
banners Of geld and green.
But the smoky homes where the maidens In
dimples and dough are seen;
Where the great oak logs are cracking, and
the hearth hath a rudy glow,
And the Georgia potato roasteth in ashes as
white as snowl
And sing me the candy pullings. where the
heart of the young man speaks
n glows like the rose that tingles on the
maiden's answering cheeks.
And sing me the old grandsire, whose stories
the children know
Who dozes there by the fire and dreams Of the
long ago.
Sing sweet of these things, oh, poet; and If you
have still the heart.
Go out in the lot and hitch me the mule to the
fodder cart;
And wind me a blast on the deer horn till the
smoke to the music curls,
And we'll take a Whit of the Autumn in a roll
licking ride with the girls!

The Maiden's Choice.

Two youths once lived in a country town,
And one was a giant fair,
With a Saxon vikings golden crown
And a blacksmith's muscles smooth and
brown
When he maze his right arm bare.
The other youth was of dapper size;
So slender and short was he
That he found small favor in maidens'eyes,
And the giant boosted in merry wise.
II could lay him across my knee"
These twain both courted the village belle,
But short was the race they run;
AT the giants feet the maiden fell,
And the little man, though he pleaded well,
Naught more than her pity o
They marched away to the wars one day,
In haste for the battles van;
And the people cheered when the giant gay
Strobe stoutly past for the distant fray,
And they smiled at the little man.
But the earliest ball by a foeman sped
One drop from the war-black skies
Passed safely over the pygmy's head,
And the giant, who stood behind. fell dead,
With a bullet between his eyes.
Then the little man swore, though his sight
was dim,
And he bounded ahead of them all;
And the whole great army followed him
Till he leapt like a devil 1.-the and slim
First man DER the battery wall.
And he planted the flag of his country there,
While the routed enemy ran;
And the legions roared as it foated fair
On the dusky waves Of sulphurous air,
Three cheers for the little man!'
Oh, l do not know, and I cannot say
What the giant might have done;
But I'm sure the maiden will weep Away
For her lover shot in the first Of the fray,
And dead ere his fame was won.
For war is a field of chance, you know.
Let him dodge the bullets who can;
But love is a garden where fancies blow
And the form of a giant makes larger show
Than the soul of a little man!

ApIANT DETEsTED BY ANIMALS.

There is" says a h%orticulturist, y
hardly an instance in natural history of a
plant so universally detested by the ami
NAL world as the castor oil plant. No sort
of bird, beast or creeping thing will touch
a castor-oil plant. 1t seems to be a rank
poison to all the animal world. Even a
goat i'll starve to death before biting of a
leaf, aud a horse will sniff at it and turn
up his upper lip as though it had the ost
detestable odor on the face Of the earth.
Army worms and the locust will pass It
by, though they may eat every other green
thing in sight, and there is no surer way 10
drive moles away than to plant a few
castor beans here and there. Even the to-
baeco worm will refuse to he fed on its
leaves"

HYBRIDINN IN PLANTS

Watermelous are sometimes spoiled by
being grown too near pumpkins. The
blossoms ara apt to become fertilized by
the pollen from the pumpkin blossoms in
stead of their own, and the result is what
might be called a vegetable hybrid. The
melons thus formed are lacking in taste,
and have besides a pulp more resembling
that of a pumpkin. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the same effect is produced from
cucumber blossoms and other vegetables
of the same family. This bybridism also
occurs in corn, where it is noticed that In
dian corn will entirely spoil sugar corn
grow ing pear Is. II is an interesting fact
that no vegetable by bird is Of so much
value - either Of its parents, II we except
the fancy prices attached TO the various
orchids.

Give me white paper.
This which you use is black and rough with
smears
Of sweat and CRIME and fraud and blood and
tears,
Crossed with the story Of mems sins and fears,
OF battle and of famine all these years.
When all Gods children have forgot their
birth,
And drudged and fought and died like beasts
of earth.
Give me white paper.
One storm-trained seaman listened to the word.
What no man saw he saw, he heard
What no man heard.
In answer he compelled the sea
To eager man to tell
The secret she had kept so well.
Left blood and guilt and tyranny behind,
Sailing still west the hidden shore to find.
For all mankind that unstained scroll un-
furled
Where God might write anew the story of the
world.

An Prayer.

II ask thee not for fame" he said;
II would not wear that weighty crown
Nor yet for riches would l pray,
But, God in heaven, bend thee down
pray for peace" he said.
From my poor life, grief's stormy sea
Hath tossed my fairest hopes aside;
ask not for return of these
Upon some fair incoming tide
Ipray for peace he said.
He turned his head-beside him stood
A man whose face was pale, but fair;
Whose quiet eyes like starlight shone
From out his dark and misty hair;
Thy prayer is heard" he said.
But thou art Death-thy name is writ
Upon thy still and smileless face
Iprayed for peacefully art thou here?
What bringeth thee to seek this place?
Iprayed for peace" he said.
Thy prayer is heard" the angel said;
Men pray for peace, yet Death would
shun,
Not seeing with their blinded eyes
That Death and Peace are ever one.
Thy prayer is heard" he said.

Down the stream.

Grew with the growing Of flowers,
Smiled in a dreamful trance,
Reckoned not the passage Of hours;
Our passions food rose ever,
Flowing for her and me,
Till the brook became a river,
And the river became a sea.
Grief, 1t began with a word,
Grew with the winds that raved;
A prayer for pardon unheard,
Pardon in turn uncraved;
The bridge so easy to sever,
The stream 50 swift to be freel
Till the brook became a river,
And the river became a sea.
Lifel 1t began with a sigh,
Grew with leaves that are dead;
Its pleasures with wings to fly,
Its sorrows with limbs Of lead;
And rest remaineth never
For the wearier hours to be-,
Till the brook shall become a river,
And the river become a sea.

A GRIST OF SPECIALS.


Special Dispatch to the Ieader.
SARATOGA. Wyo,, June 3.-There is
great excitement here over the discovery
of a silver lead right 10 town. On Nav II
E. f. Bernard, R. S. Brown and ]. NJ.
Clifford discovered the lead twenty feet
from the west bank of the river, where
one of the many hot springs is located.
Assayer E. E( .Burlingame of Denver
gives $ll.32 sitSeF returns made yester,
day, The lead Is situated on the patented
land of W. H. Caldwell, proprietor of the
Hot Springs hotel here. The first claim
was located by W. B. Hugus, E. E.
Bernard and r. S. Brown. Other loca-
tons have been made on both sides Of
the river, one Of which includes the
ground where Cadwell's hotel stands.
The existence of this lead was known
years ago, but no assay was made until
r. S. Brown, late of Douglas, Wyo., in
sisted that it contained mineral. The
assay is a surprise and locations are being
made all around here. Excitement is at
fever heat. Men are riding over the
country surrounding the town searching
for leads, Development work will begin
at once. Should a sufficient body of ore
be found works will be put in.
The snow is disappearing rapidly from
Gold Hill, where new leads are found
daily. 1t is high time that projectors
intending to come we're here. Reports of
deep snow there are misleading. Ad-
vantage Is taken by those on the ground
to search and locate leads.
A large copper lead at the head of Lake
creek has been located by B. z. Arendall
and others. Surface indications show
the lead to be seventy-two feet wide, but
the real width can only be determined by
development.
Five hundred pounds of silver ore from
the Kurtz, Forney and Grand Encamp.
ment mines will be shipped in a day OF
two for a mill run.
1t is reported here on good authority
that Union Pacific surveyors have been
ordered to Wolcott. six miles east of Fort
Steele, to make a survey to some point
south in the Platte Valley.
