A LEVEL HEAD.

A LEVEL HEAD.
An autumn day was dawning fast
As up Salt Lake citys streets there passed,
A man with determined look,
Asking each one he overlook,
For Walker Bros s. Fyler Co.
The people stared. he walked so FAST
And many of them stood aghast.
They did not understand his gait
Nor why he went at such rate
To Walker Bros g. Fyler Co.
Hold on, old man, and take rest;
We keep dry goods, the very best,
A clerk called out; but he shook his head
And with cheerful smile he said
Walker Bros. & Fyler Co.
He went up Main street with great speed,
OF other stores he took no heed,
Far up the street a sign he spied,
And with sigh of relief he cried,
Walker Bros. & Fyler Co.
Once in the store be seemed at ease,
Nothing he saw that failed TO please.
He'd heard of thissgreat stores renown,
And had been sent 10 a country town
To Walker Bros. & Fyler Co.
Il read the papers," to clerk he said,
And you bet I've got Level Head;
Wife saw them bargains in your ad.
She sent me for some. yes-by Dad,
To Walker Bros and Fyler Co.
"She wants dress for little Lou,
Some shoes and hood for the baby, too,
And Willie wants some socks and pants;
Guess III get all she wants,
At Walker Bros & Fyler Co.
I'm ght as we'll buy t old woman a ticket
Cos If 1 don't she'll raise racket;
And we needs carpet for tn parlor floor,
And an overcoat for myself. What's more
From Walker Bros. s. F'yler Co..
For fully two long hours or more
The old man wandered through the store,
Selecting his family's winter
With every precaution and fatherly care,
From Walker Bros. s. Fyler Co.
''Young man, - he said, 81 guess that's all;
Some day I'll give you another call.
I'm stranger. here and IN much surprised,
To fnd you're doing as you advertised.
AT Walker Bros. & Fyler Co.
''Ill Just say this before go:
'Tain't many stores as treats one so.
You bet you've got the name our way
OF doing precisely what you say,
At Walker Bros. & F'yler Co..
| The people saw as he went back,
! That the old man hadn't got of the track.
| They scam ed each parcel once, twice, thrice,
And each one bore the same device
Walker Bros s. Fyler Co.
Here's moral for you all,
! See our great stock for winter and fall.
0 For if you would be in fashion dressed,
! You must have Dry Goods-the latest and best
II. W. B.
You can get them at Walker Bros. g. Fyler Co.

THE BLACK VEST.
A Fashionable Fancy for Light Wool

Fashionable Fancy for Light Wool
Gowns.
Another fancy considered extremely
stylish is that of putting vest of black
mousseline de sole in wool gowns of
very light colors. Thus a Newport
dress of pinkish-mauve yelling has a
round bodice, with. short Figaro front
turned back in little revers from full
gathered vest of black silk muslin; this
vest is set under a short square yoke
and collar of white Irish lace of very
open pattern, and is gathered in at the
waist line under girdle of the lace,
which is quite narrow there, but widens
gradually on the sides to form broad
corselet in the back; little coat frill of
the lace is set on just in the middle of
the back. The high collar is straight
puff of the black mousseline, with
bit of the white lace above it, fastened
in the back under a small bow
of mousseline. The skirt, with
bias seam down the back, is cut
slightly long. lovely house gown of
yellow crepon-the design woven in
bayadere stripes-has a similar vest of
black chiffon, with yoke, corselet, and
collar of white guIpure lace studded
with Jet cabochons.
The black vest is also seen in ex-
pensive gowns of mohair in light tan or
beige shades. Black surah brocaded
with blue or with pink blossoms forms
the vest, a single breadth being laid
across the front of the fitted lining, and
hooked under the left side of jacket
bodice. This bodice has longer jacket
fronts than .those just described, with
coat skirts at the back slashed below
the waist. and lined with silk like that
of the vest. A row of large jet nail
heads passes around the waist in the
back, then is slipped under the jacket
fronts. and reappears on the edge of
the vest A cream-tinted rough straw
bonnet with this dress is near
ly fiat, with the printed front
trimmed with upright loops of
Jet beads wired to keep them in place.
Black velvet ribbon is drawn back
along the sides, and raised in loops at
the back. then forms strings that are
crossed under the chin. and carried up
to meet Just below the back of the bon
net, where they are fastened with fancy
brooches.
Other mohair dresses for summer
wear at the seashore are in clear shades
of gray, with piping of black satin edg-
ing the revers front of the jacket bodice
and the pocket slips, and also set at the
top of false hem on the skirt. The
vest or shirt is of pretty Powered
foulard of light gray or cream ground,
strewn with leaves or other design in
pink. blue or brown. This is gathered
to turned-over collar of the foulard
and shirred at the waist, falling few
inches below. and belted by black satin
ribbon coming from the side seams, and
tied in bow in front Two pointed
ends of foulard are strapped in to form
a cravat bow. -Harper's Bazaar

Plans of One 12 Feet Wide and 104
Feet in Length.
A barn forty feet wide viii give two
double stalls. each eight feet wide,
which can be fitted with doors so as to
be used as box stalls: four single stalls
each five feet wide for the horse stable;
leave a passage four feet wide at one
side to pass from one stable to another.
This will give stalls for nine cows and
leave passage at the side. | would
make the hangers continuous, so one
can walk through the entire length to
clean them out, or to feed grain to
horses and cattle.
The floor of the managers ! would
make from eight inches to one foot
higher than that on which the cattle
and horses stand, but the floor must
not be raised so much as To interfere
with tall man walking through the
manger. If more stable room is needed,
the COW stable manger can be made
five feet wide instead of four. and an
other row of cattle tied up to eat from
the opposite side of it, and some box
stalls made for both horses and cows,
and provision must be made for storing
bedding. There should be two granaries
i'm the basement for feed for horses and
cows and two above for grain. In a
barn of this size there ought to be two
driveways or barn floors above, so as to
make it convenient to fill the barn,
with hay chutes located so that hay and
fodder can be dropped into the managers.

SINGING TO CATTLE.
How the Cowboys Sometimes Quiet Their
FESTIVE Herds.


FESTIVE Herds.
"There is one popularity in reference
to cattle on the range that is known to
few save cattlemen," said X. S. Carton,
of New Mexico, which helps us great
ly i'm handling a large herd on the trail.
When a lot of cattle are gathered up
there is always danger of night stam-
pede, and if this occurs it is a very seri-
Gus matter, for not only win the herd
become greatly scattered. but also
many of the steers will die More timid
animals than stampeded cattle it is diff
cult to imagine, and once thoroughly
stampeded scores of them will run until
they drop dead in their tracks.
The signs of an approaching STAN
pede are familiar to every man
who has been much on the trail.
First few cattle will begin to low,
or rather, to utter sort of roar.
All through the herd the single ami
mails will get mp and begin to move
around. The others become restless.
and if something is not done to check
them the whole herd will within a
short time be rushing headlong over the
plain.
The most soothing influence that
can be exerted is the human voice, and
when these ominous mutterings are
heard everyone on night watch begins
10 sing. 1t may well be imagined that
cowboy music would have anything but
a quieting effect on m usical ears, but il
amply satisfies the cattle. As soon as
songs are heard the nervous animals be-
come quiet, and one by one they lie
down, and soon all are at rest, fairly
sung TO sleep. A peculiar feature of
the singing is that every cowboy, no
matter how rough and lawless, knows
a variety of hymns, and it is with
church music that the stampede is pre-
vented. Louis Globe Democrat.

Turk standing erect on his prayer-rug

Substitute sheen for Hogs.

Farmers who have been giving atten-
ton almost solely to hogs. to the ex-
clusion of other branches of live stock
would generally do well to substitute
the sheep for the hogs to some extent.
The British farmer on high priced
lands finds his best profit in sheep,
notwithstanding the fact that the
whole world sends mutton free to that
country. We have cheaper lands. and
cheaper grain and grass, and if we
have the proper sheep and exercise
proper care over our tiocks we can
make cheaper mutton. In connection
with hogs, sheep can utilize the pas
lures and the rough forage of the farm
to the fullest extent-N. w. Farmer.
