A solomon Come to Judgment.

A famous Chicago lawyer once had 4
singular case to settle. A physician came
to him in great distress. Two sisters,
living in the same house, had babies OF
equal age, who so resembled each other
that their own mothers were unable to
distinguish them when they were to-
gether. Now it happened that by the
carelessness of the nurses the children
had become mixed, aud how were the
mothers 70 make sure that they received
back their own inrantsl 'But perhaps,
said the lawyer, "the children weren't
changed at all" son, but there's nc
doubt that they were changed, " said the
physician. "Are you sure Of itt' "Per
fectly." "Well, If that's the case, why
don't you change them back againl

A Canine Hero,

A correspondent of an English paper
writes: "I recently witnessed the fol-
lowing little incident on the Thames,
near Twickenham, when the river was
full of land water, and therefore, very
swift and dangerous. Two dogs, one a
large animal, the other little terrier,
were enjoying a swim near the bank, but
soon the little one was carried out some
distance and was unable to get to shore.
BY this time the big dog had regained
the shore, and, seeing what was happen
ing to his companion, began running
backward and forward in the most eX-
citing manner, at the same time whim
pering and barking, and evidently not
knowing for the moment what to do.
The terrier was fast losing strength, and,
although swimming hard, was being
rapidly carried down stream. The big
dog could contain himself no longer.
Running some yards ahead Of his strug
Cling friend, he plunged into the water
and swan vigorously straight out until
he got in a line with the little head Just
appearing behind hIm. Then he al
lowed himself to be carried down, tail
first, until he got next TO the terrier,
this being accomplished in the cleverest
manner, and began to swim hard, gradu-
ally pushing the little one nearer and
nearer to the shore, which was gained
after most exciting time. The fact OF
this canine hero going so far ahead to
allow for the strong current, and the
judgment shown in getting alongside,
and then the pushing, certainly seemed
to me to betoken instinct of very high
order"

One of the phenomenal business de.
velopments in this country in the las,
few years, says the National Stoczman,
has been in growth of the dressed beef
industry. There has not been year in
its history in which there has not been a
substantial increase. Last year total OF
3,730, 900 cattle were slaughtered in the
West, against 3, $50, 900 in the preceding
year, an increase of twenty-five per cent
This fairly represents the rate of growth
OF this total by far the greater part is
for consumption in this country, probably
one-seventh of it going abroad, inasmuch
as the aggregate weight of beef, exclu'
sive of tallow, exported last year was
$50, PIG, 561 pounds. OF course American
producers will be glad to see beef expor,
tation increase, even while recognizing
that the growth of the dressed beef trade,
as far as it contributes to supplying the
American market, is inimical to the in.
terests Of cattle generally. The industry,
such as it is, with all its possibilities, is
here to stay. To such a degree, though,
has it interfered with beef raising and
beef selling in the older States that it is
desirable that legislation be provided.
if such thing be possible, to hold it in
check. At all events, it is certain to be
a great feature in the American cattle
industry in time to come.

WISE WORDS

Be there a will, and wisdom finds a
way.
None of us is infallible-not even the
youngest.
Whoever teaches false moral princi-
pies is an aggressor on the welfare Of
society.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character; you must hammer and forge
yourself out.
The effort Of to-day should be to rec
onciIe the faith Of yesterday with the
truth Of tomorrow.
The very art of life, as far as have
been able to observe, consists in forti-
tude and perseverance.
Language is a solemn thing. It grows
out of,life-out OF its agonies and costa
sizes, its wants and its weariness.
People are generally what they ar o
made by education and company be-
tween the ages of fifteen and twenty
five.
Memory is the basis OF conscious con-
tinued personal identity. Without It
each man would start afresh every mo-
ment.
The boy who resolves to do one thing
honorably and thoroughly and sets
about it at once, will attain usefulness
and eminence.
He who is taught to live upon little,
owes more to his fathers wisdom than
he that has great deal left him does to
his fathers care.
BE cautious and brave. 1t requires a
great deal Of will and a great deal OF
caution to make a great fortune, and
when you have got it it requires ten
times as much to keep 1T.

OLD THINGS ARE BEST.

Old things are best. We wander
So strangely and so lonely
From here TO that world yonder,
Why not grow fond and fonderf
In tried affections only?
Old friends are best. Their faces
Each year seem dearer, dearer,
And glow with new-found graces;
Then, an! These vacant places
But bring the living nearer.
Old homes are best. The laughter
That tells of childhood's pleasures
Beneath the ancient rafter,
Surpasses all that's after
And all Of mauhood's treasures
Old love is BEST Its sweetness
Makes pleasant sorrows chalice,
And spite of Times dread fleetness
1t gains in calm compleness
And laughs at Ages malice.
Old faith is best the teaching
or heart enshrined mothers.
What profits subtle preaching,
Or blind and eager reaching
For doubt that mocks aud smothers,
Old ways are the best; the gladuess
OF simpler lives aud litter.
Ere wealth had come with madness,
Or folly left its sadness.
And sin its lessons bitter
Old things are best. The glimmer
or age forbids new choices.
Oh, as mine eyes grow DINNER,
Family across the simmer
Watt me the old, sweet vocesi

R. $. Hunton, one of the leading mine

r. s. Hunton, one of the leading mine
owners of Colorado, says that electricity
opens up new era in tho production of
silver. The reason of this statement is
that many of the high mountain mines
have been almost valueless because of the
expense of transporting fuel to them.
Now through the utilization of water
power with the electric motor these
mines can be operated chcaply, and a
notable increase of output may be looked
for. SO evident is this fact that there
has already sprung up a demand for
electrical mining machinery in Mexico,
and our American electrical manufacture
ing companies are now sending large
quantities of apparatus thither.

Interesting History of a Yacht.

The steam yacht Caterina, formerly
owned by j. Pierpont Morgan, and we'll
known in this port, is now the property
of Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York
World. The history of the transaction
by which this magnificent yacht came
into the possession Of Mr.; Pulitzer is de-
cidedly interesting. The boat formerly
flew the English flag, but now she has
an Au erican register. Several months
ago she went ashore on Long Island
Sound. The underwriters, who consid-
cred her badly damaged, sold her to a
Mr.. Sullivan, who raised and repaired
the boat. The price paid by Mr.. Sulli-
van was $40, 900, and he found that her
damage could be repaired for a few
thousand more. He at once sold her to
Mr.. Pulitzer for $50, 900. This bargain
was mutually advantageous, for Mr.
Sullivan cleared over S25, 600 by the
deal, and Mr.. Pulitzer got u magnificent
yacht worth S1C0, 900 for half that sum.
Besides that the beaching in American
waters entitled her TO an American reg

A SONG FOR TWILIGHT.

Now the winds awaiting go
Through the sere, forsaken treesi
Now the day is waxing low,
And above the troubled seas
Faint stars glimmer, and the breeze
Hovers, sad with memories.
Now the time to part has come,
What Is left for US TO sayY
Shall we wander sad and dumb
Down this gardens leaf-strewn way,
Or by tossing waves and gray
Hand in hand together stray?
In this garden shall we stand,
In the days departing light
Here, where first touched your hand
On that unforgiven night
When you stood, mid roses bright,
Dream embodied TO the sight2
Where we met, Love, shall we partP
In this garden shall we twain,
Mouth TO mouth, as heart TO heart,
Loving turn, and kiss again
In this garden shall we drain
Loves last bitter-sweet, and pain?
Nay, Love, let us leave this place;
Let us go, Dear, TO the beach,
Where in happy summer days.
Sleeping Love awoke TO speech;
And his voice. tho low, could reach
To the deepest heart of each.
There the sea winds drifting sweet
From some strange land far away,
And the blown waves as they meet
One another in the bay
These together haply may
Hint some word for us to say.
Let us kiss, then, Dear, and go
Down together to the sea.
We will kiss, Dear, meeting SO,
If the days that are to be
If my heart should then be free,
In you should remember mel

FEMALE Jury.
II Sits IN n Case IN Douglas and Gives
a Decision.

A jury composed entirely Of women
was gathered together in Douglas last
Saturday. The trial was n in which all
Eho participated were women excepting
the attorney and the justice OF the peace.
Mrs. Ingersoll, who Iuns the hotel at
Douglas, was sued by two girls working
for her at the time, for their wages No
notice Of their intention to leave was
given their employer and for that reason
they had to bring suit to recover their
wages. The jury gave judgment in favor
of the girls but the case was appealed.
The trial is a unique event in the history
OF law counts as il is probaly the first time
in history hat a Jury was called composed
entirely Of women.
Great excitement was caused in Doug
las by the trial as all we're anxious to see
what the female jury would do with the
case. It was truly a case in which woman
was pitted against woman.

Stop the leaks. Let our people give
more attention TO the cultivation Of the
soil and stop the outflow of cash for hay,
oats, beef. potatoes aud such commodities
as we can easily produce. This will en-
sure our prosperity. The Sun.
This is very true. The people of Wy,
oming should cease chasing rainbows.
With all the Dragging that we have done
about our soil it may be profitable but
it is not pleasant to contrast the fact that
ninetY-ninc per cent of the ordinary farm
produce that We consume in this vicinity
is raised outside Of the state. In this sort
of trading there is nothing reciprocal.
The money sent to the Colorado or Ne
braska farmer never returns in any form.
1t goes to build up and strengthen com
munities in which we have no interest,
which do not contribute a dollar toward
tightening our load Of taxation and whose
people buy nothing from us in return.

4 -FRLENDLTRLT a ADTLCE

The vote on the unlimited free coinage
OF silver in the Trans Mississippi Com
mercial congress at Denver 90 the l9th
ult. ought to definitely establish the fact
that the West il not in favor Of that
scheme to enrich a few silver mine owners,
and Of remonetizing the silver OF the
world. IL should also put to shame a few
Wyoming newspapers which have
persistently kept up the howl that the
Wyoming delegation in congress sold out
the interests Of the West when they voted
against unlimited free coinage. There are
one or two papers even yet which assert
that there Is in Wyoming and the whole
West al overwhelmingly public sentiment
in favor OF this crazy scheme; but when
Democratic politicians and editors are
taken out the overwhelming majority will
be represented BY M aching void
Sheridan Past
In this aching VOID the sapient
editor of the Post would doubtless include
such big braIned Western Republicans as
Senators Jones aud Stewart OF Nevada,
Senators Teller and Wolcott of Colorado
and Senators henderson aud Paddock of
Nebraska,
II the editor Of the Post was gifted with
any intelligence or information on the
subject he would then understand that the
tree coinage OF Amencan silver means
practically nothing at all but an increase
IN the price Of silver to the producers Of
this country. Pretty nearly all the silver
which the country is now producing is
being purchased by the government at its
bullion value. Free coinage Of American
silver would mean its purchase by the
government at its coinage value, the DIFF
terence between the two standards Of
value being quite a good thing for the
government now As it would be for the
producers under the American coinage
law.
II Is a very true saying that fools rush
in where angels fear to tread. We there,
fore beg the hired man Of the Post to re-
strain the exuberance OF his ignorance and
carefully watch the proceedings Of the
next congress. He will then discover
with what atrfumphant majority a bill for
the free, absolute and universal coinage Of
silver will pass both houses. The emas-
culAtcd effort Of tie Denver congress will
meet the mcrited fate Of all abortious. 1t
will be buried out Of sight
