A man who has intelligence enough
to be fairly good workman in any in
dustry is intelligent enough to under
stand that every idle man in the coun-
try is a man whom workingmen help
TO support. An idler has digestive
apparatus which has to be kept busy;
he must be supplied with clothing,
shelter and warmth. and somebody
must pay for these things. The per-
sons who do pay for the wealth thus
consumed are the men who produce
wealth. namely, the working-men.
The greater the number OF idlers, the
larger must be the amount deducted
from the earnings OF those who toll.

A noted horscman OF the West one
familiar with the wild horses Of the
plains relates the following incident
of which he was witness and which,
he said, made his NERVES tingle. y
Near the forks Of the North and South
Platte he came upon about two hundred
wild horses in drove. I.
was mounted on my own mustang
He saw them and lifted his head high
into the air. at the same time paving
the earth with his fore ieet and snort
ing expectantly. Every one of those
wild horses lifted his head on hearing
that neigh of welcome from my steed,
and they all stood still.
One magnificent black stallion. which
appeared to be the leader of the troop,
after looking ut me for moment came
toward me with an easy. graceful
stride and took position in front OF HIS
followers. He was the finest specimen
Of horsehesh ] ever saw. His tail
swept the ground, and his name hung
to his shoulders. His skin shone like

My mustang became so excited that
made haste to tie him to tree.
Soon after the black stallion gave his
head tess and started on a rapid trot
across the prairie. the entire band fol-

about half a mile the band returned.

They came within one hundred yards
of me. and the leader whinnied as if
to invite my horse to join them. II
My poor Jack! / pitied him. He
stood looking at the wild rovers, his
lariat drawn taut. and as the leader
whinnied he made the most frantic
struggles for freedom. Sweat came
from every pore; he wouldn't have
been wctter II he had done thirty
mile race.
Twas afraid he would break away, so l
fired my rife into the air TO brighten
the drove. and the leader took the
hint and galloped off, followed by the
others. and Jack Gained down after a.

THE DRUG STORE EXPLOSION.
Three Terrible Reports Before Thurs.
day Nights Fire.

The cause OF the explosion and fire in Coulson
4 Co.'s drug store Thursday night Is still buried
- deeply q over in mystery.
Dr.. Farwell, who was living in the building
over the store. says there were three distinct ex
plosions Immediately preceding the combustion
in the lower story. He yesterday related his ex-
pericncc in the fire to a reporter Of the PosT-IN
TKLLIGENCER as follows:
81 came home early and Mrs. Farwell and my
self were at home all evening. We retired about
10 o'clock Shortly afterwards we heard an ex-
plosiou in the store below which ratified the
windows and the bottles on the shelves. This
was followed almost Immediately by a
most terrific report that shattered the
windows and raised the floor under
us so much that when the reaction came l
thought it was going to the ground. Another
lighter explosion followed almost Immediately.
Jumped from the bed and ran to the window
and saw that the building was on fire. / told
Mrs. Farwell to jump up and put on her clothes
our clothing hanging there aud quickly as pos
eible ran downstairs with it. / returned almost
instantly, but the flames had spread so rapidly
that 1t was difficult to get through the upper
apartments. Mrs Farwell did not have time to
dress and was compelled to go out in her night
garments Everything we had but the clothes
/ saved, was lost. / do not believe that any
thing druggist is allowed to keep in his store
would make so powerful an explosion as was
the second one"
Persons who were In adjacent houses relate
that their dwellings were Jared by the explo-
sion. The butcher across the street states that
his building shook SO that he at first supposed
that IL was in his house. A man at work in the
trunk factory across the street states that he
heard something that sounded like breaking a
window Immediately before the heavy report,
which was probably the first explosion heard by
Dr. Farwell.
