What Woman Can Do.

She can come to a conclusion
without the slightest trouble OF
reasoning on it, and no sane man
can do that.
Six of them can talk at once and
get along first rate, and no two men
can do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in
her dress while he is getting one
under his thumb nail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in
half dozen tight dresses and skirts,
while man will sweat and fume
and growl in one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches
and cream to the woman she hates,
while two men would be punching
each others beads before they had
exchanged ten words.
She can throw q stone with a
curve that would be fortune to a
baseball pitcher.
She can say mo" in such low
voice that it means "yes."
She can sharpen lead pencil #
you give her plenty Of time and
plenty of pencils.
She can dance all night in q pair
Of shoes two sizes too small for her,
and enjoy every minute Of the time.
She can appreciate a kiss from
her husband seventy years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and after
ward tell you what every woman IN
the congregation had on, and IN
some rare instances can give you
some faint idea of what the text was
She can walk half the night with
q colicky baby in her arms without
once expressing the desire OF MUIR
dering the infant.
She can do more in q minute
than q man can do in an hour, and
do it better.
She can drive q man crazy IN
twenty-four hours, and then bring
him to paradise in two seconds oy
simply tickling him under the chin,
and there does not live that mortal
son Of Adams misery who can &c

Legend OF Loeb Maree.

The most interesting of the ISL
ands of Loeb Maree is by no means
the biggest, but it differs entirely
from the others in its varied vege-
tation.
There is a romantic legend in
connection with this island. In
olden times Norwegian Prince
and Princess lived there happily.
In time of trouble the Prince went
forth to war, leaving his island to
be guarded by his wife.
It was agreed that when he was
in sight of home on his return a
white flag should be hoisted if all
was we'll; if not, a black one.
Time passed, and the Princess
became jealous of his long absence.
When his boat at length appeared
in the loch black flag was hoisted
and when he landed he found his
wife lying as if dead on bier, she
having feigned death to prove bis
love.
Heart broken at the sight, the
Prince unsheathed his dagger and
plunged it into his heart. A thud,
and he lay dead at her feet.
Horrified at the sight, she grasped
the dagger from his breast and took
her own life. They we're buried in
this romantic spot, foot to foot
with the hilt of q dagger engraved
on their tombstone.
Since then the land owners Of the
neighborhood have had the right to
bury on the island, and some Of
the graves are of curious unhewn
stones.
This island burial is quite com
mon in Scotland. It is a delightful
idea that the dead should rest in
peace surrounded by beautiful see
merry, and far enough from human
habitation to do no harm to ths
living.-London Queen.

Truth About Nye's Notar1al Bond.

It was at this time also that I
was chosen by the Governor to act
as notary public. The appoint
msnt came to me wholly unscught
on my part. When I went to bed
at night had no more idea that 1
would be notary public in tho
morning than the reader has. It
was a case where the Office sought
the man, and not the man the Of
fee. / held this position for six
years, and no one can say that IN
that time did a wrong official act
as notary public. My seal cost me
$6, and in the six years that | held
the office I swore 18 men at 70
cents each, two of them afterwards
paid me. l was obliged to give o
bond, however, as notary public.
I do not know why exactly, for tho
fees were my own, if l got any.
/ used to deal with a boot and shoe
man whom I will call Mr.. Quidd,
and we were on friendly terms. I
bought bought ay boots Of him, and
scorched the heels thereof Oh s s.s
hot stove on winter evenings, when
times were dull and the wintry
blasts outside reduced the profits
on the cattle business.
causually asked Mr.. Quidd to
sign my bond as notary public, and
told him what a sinecure it would
be for him; but to my astonish-
ment his chin quivered, his eye
grew dim with unshed tears, as he
told me, with his hand trembling
in mine, that he wished he could,
but that he had promised his dying
mother, just as the light of the
ory-world lighted up her eyes,
that he never would sign bond or
note with any one.
I said: "Do not mind this, Mr..
Quidd it is a triaing matter. 9th
ers will sign. will get some COM
parative stranger to sign with me-
Do not feel badly over it." On my
way home I got Edward 1vinson,
General Worth, otto Gramm, Henry
Wagner, Abraham Idleman, Chas.
Kuster, DR.. Harris, William II.
Root, and James Milton Sherrod,
the squaw-man OF the Buffalo Wal
low, to sign nay bond. All of these
were men of probity and property,
and the bond was said to be the
best notarial bond that was ever
foated in Wyoming.
On the following day case in
my court as Justice of the Peace
required a bond on the part of a
saloon-keeper, and he went out q
moment to get a surety. He was
hardly out of the Office before he re-
turned with the name of Quidd.
After that l bought my boots else
1 where. I could not trust man
who would so soon forget his prom.
ises to his dying mother. Years
have flown by, and gray hairs have
come on the head of Mr.. Quidd,
though I haven't a gray hair yet.

have always purchased my boota

Feminine Superstition.

Not superstltlous. Yes, you are.
Everybody is more or less.
Women are more superstitious
than men. I speak advisedly, says
the writer. A week ago I wouldn't
have admitted it. But since then |
have read from the pen Of no less
an author than the Incompatible
Ruskin that superstition is not, as
has always been believed, an out
growth and accompaniment of ig-
norance, but it is the result of a large
amount of spirituality.
The fondness which the human
family has for things unreal and
mystical leads them to believe in
supernatural happenings. So, if
some wise woman laughs you to
scorn because you won't have your
hair cut on Sunday you can at once
confront her and silence her with
Mr.. Ruskin's theory. Moreover,
you can parry very uncomfortable
questions with logic from the great
author.
"You won't have your hair cut
on Sunday" says she. " Why not?"
Because" say you of the super
stition, /" it won't grow if do"
"Why won't it grow just the same
as if you had it cut on Monday or
any other day."
because it won't"
But this doesn't satisfy the wise
woman. She wants reason for it..
Then you can rise in your might
and announce. "Mr. Ruskin says
that the reason we.believe in things
for which there is no reason is just
the reason why we believe in them"
You may depend upon it with abb
solute certainty that this same wise
woman has several pet mysteries OF
her own, which she believes in firmly
and for which she, like you, could
give no other reason than "be-
cause"
To return to the cutting Of hair
1t is safe to say not one woman IL
fifty would consent to have her
bang trimmed on Sunday, and
among the other forty-nine could
be found a large majority who
wouldn't under any circumstances
have theirs cut on Friday. Be.
cause" they would tell you, to
have ones hair cut on Friday is a
sure sign of death before the hair
grows to the length which it was
before it was cut"
The only way to escape this un'
wished for result is to carefully
preserve the hair which is cut of
and burn it. It is very frequent
occurrence in hairdressing estab.
lishments for ladies who are obliged
to be barbered on Friday TO ask
that the hair be preserved and giver
to them in order that they may
burn it. It won't do for any one
else to burn your hair. That won't
save your life. You must do i,
yourself.

Value Of a Scar IN the Right Place.

Apropos of the popularity in
Georgia of General John B. Cor
don, and Of the great scar on his
cheek, which is due to a saber
wound, they tell this story: The
late Robert Toombs was jealous Of
the General and once remarked !:
!" If that scar was on the back Of
Gordon's neck instead Of on his
face be wouldn't be 80 popular. !"
Gordon heard of this, and few
days later, whileadd dressing . polit-
ical gathering, retorted - follows:
!" If Toombs had been whore / was
when I got that scar it would be on
the back Of his neck instead Of his
face"

Ferocious Wolves.

to the Sportsman g Review says:
have hunted coyotes on the western
plains and wolves in Canada and
the Northwest, and I have always
thought that conflict with Saberi-
an bloodhounds would be as terrific
as any, but for real work there is
nothing like a pack of starving
Norway wolves. It is something
beyond the imaginative ability Of
the American hunter. Although
we were told we might possibly
meet an attack, we braved the ride,
however, all being we'll armed in
case of need.
We proceeded about 20 miles
without any serious incidents,
when, just as we were crossing a
little frozen creek some 20 yards
wide, strange sensation seemed to
take possession of our deer; they
shivered, trembiedd and The hairs on
their backs stood on end. Wolves !!
yelled my driver, and he began to
lash the deer, one of which prompt
ly slipped on the ice, fell down and
tangled himself with the harness,
thus seriously impeding our coveted
progress. ''Boys, said I, ''send every
bullet home" Just at this moment
six fierce, hungry wolves came gal
loping toward US about 20 yards
away. The deer regained his foot
ing and away we dashed.
Wolves can run just as fast with
the wind as against it; so can the
deer, but they had a heavy sled,
five people and foot deep Of fro
zen, crusted snow to contend with.
We had now run about half mile,
wolf dropping once in while; but
on they came in increased numbers
on our flank. You wonder, per-
haps, why l did not shoot. Well, |
will tell you. A running wolf,
while the shooter is in the sled be-
hind totting deer, is difficult to hit.
/ had only 100 cartridges and
knew it would be madness to waste
them. If the driver would only
stop; but that was impossible, as
he and the deer were fratnic from
fright.
At this moment one of the wolves
jumped upon the deer's flank and
was promptly killed; but this kind
of game could not last long, so
prepared to dismount some of oul
pursuers. Straddling the dashboad
every time wolf jumped for the
deer I shot at it and hit hard OF
killed about seven. Just at this
moment, as we were making pro
gress in our defense, our deer, who
bad hurt his hip by his fall, came
to stop and the rear sled dashed
into us. The collision was frightful
tumbling and spilling us all out
and the confusion was great.
called out to the driver to save the
deer, as we were instantly sur
rounded by the maddened, beauti
fully furred wolves. Deer, driver
wolves and we travellers were soou
in a trrifc melee for life. Just as
had began to despair, all at once
the wolves-that is, those that were
alive-ran away as fast as they had
come. We had lost two guides, one
driver and three deer.

gued the gossips, both arc fighting men.
Harris has the reputation Of having
whipped his weight in wildcats in his
younger days, while Sanders was the
leader Of the vigilantes in Montana
years ago, when to be vigilante meant
being shot at while engaged in tho
wholesome task of running down and
stringing up enemies of society. But
there was no duel, and SO far as can
learn there have been no mutual apollo
giles or anything of that sort. So an
other has been added to the long list of
feuds already existing in the senate.
A bit of senatorial friction which end
ed more happily was collision be-
tween Senators Mcpherson, of New Jer-
sey. and Coke, of Texas. Mcpherson is
suave, polite and good natured, while
Coke is gruff, big, blunt, but with q
heart that is just about right in him.
This, too, was financial difficulty.
Coke wanted free silver and Mcpherson
didn't. They were both Democrats, and
30 the latter thought he had q right to
say, one warm afternoon in the senate
cloakrooln, that'senators from the south
@ho wanted to have a force bill put
upon them were taking just the right
course TO get it by voting for the free
coinage Of silver.
What MIR. Mcpherson meant was that
II free silver carried the Democrats
might lose the next elections, and that
would possibly bring on force bill
But Mr.. Coke didn't happen to under
stand it that way. He thought some
reflections had been cast upon him. So
he walked threateningly toward Mr..
MCPHERSON, his patriarchal beard ,trem-
ping with rage, and exclaimed: sYou
your nosel I don't allow any man to
talk like that to mel' OF course there
was a sensation in.SSA cloahroom.
