The climate of the United States is
much the same now that it was hun
dred years ago, though perhaps a little
milder, for astronomers tell us that the
North Pole is actually moving south
which is good news for the explorers of
the future-and yet the aborigines of
America lived to good old age before
''sanitary woolens" were invented, or
overcoats had come in style, In fact, if
we are to believe the historians, they
wore leggins, moccOsions and hunting
shirt of deer skin with the hairy side
turned toward the body, and caps made
of the fur of animals, and that was all
they did wear. When these garments
were wet through, for you know mackin-
toshes and umbrellas are the products of
an 'effete civilization" they were about
as comfortable as none at all, and when
frozen stili, as they often were on a win
ter's morning, "Lo" might as well have
donned sheet-iTon stove pipes instead of
his primitive trousers and been equally
comfortable.

l. G. Libby, of Burnham, Me-, who
has large cattle interests in Montana,
says that if the farmers of Maine would
live in shacks, a 5 they do in Montana,
with no furniture to speak of and the
coarsest of food, no Sundays, no boiled
shirts, no top carriages, no pianos OF
other articles of luxury, they could make
money just as fast as it is made in the
West. Mr.. Libby thinks that year in
Montana would cure Maine farmer of
grumbling at his native State.

An element in the Southern industrial
situation not to be lost sight of, the
Washington Star remarks, is the failure
of railroad management to pay. Eleven
companies with mileage of over a
thousand miles of completed road have
in less than two years gone into the re-
ceiYers' hands.

A Strange Pet.

Mrs. King, daughter of c. IL.
Jackson, who recently came from her
home in Cooper County, says the Clin-

young otter about seven weeks old.

the bank OF the Lamiue River. 1t is

aud investigate. In another second
Pokey was turned to the leftand pound
ing along up the stage road.
A dark object loomed up suddenly as
they shot past, and sudden chill sent
the sluggish blood coursing through
Hens veins. He halted aud turned
Pokey's unwilling head on the back
course.
Sure enough, it was the stage; but
there were no horses attached. Hen
felt around and reached the oor-handle.
A cry-a chlld's cry-came from within.
Hen tied Pokey firmly to a wheel, found
the door again, and entered.
"Thank God"
It was woman's voice, aud Hen al.
most tainted to think that its owner
should be in such terrible predicament.
"Oh, sir, have you come to take us
away2 The driver fell off, think, aud
the horses broke loose, somehow, and
we're almost frozen"
Hen could see her now. 1t was a
young, good-looking woman, and she
held, tight clasped to her breasts child
about three years old. Neither was clad
for such awful weather.
Hens heart stood still for moment.
II that woman and child remained here
it was almost certain death. 1t might
be days before help could reach him, and
even if aid could come to them to-mor-
row, they would have frozen, mean
while. On the other hand

In another minute
"Ride straddle-so. Naow, hold TIL

"But what are you going to"
Hen was fastening the drivers robe
about her.
"I'm all right. Naow, hang on an

Good-by, missus!"
He was alone on the prairie in de
serted stage coach, with the storm how
ing about him, and his thoughts were OF
other things for long time before HI
remembered that all his money was il
his saddle bags.
"Wa-al, chances is purity nigh agi

quaint way. 'Taint like | he'd a stow

1t was two days later that the stage
coming down from Jersey with severa
Samaritans aboard, found him. 1t wa
two weeks aud more before he came t.
himself in the hotel where he had hat
every possible attention. He was, as h
himself remarked, "Glad to be alive, al
fin hedn't los no hans mr. feet"
But the woman and child had gone
they had left Jersey the very day thd
Hens half dead form was brought i
by the relief party-and with them wen
Hens money; for the saddebags ha
been taken to the woman's room by th
hostler, and no one else had had posse'
sion of them, besides which, much I
the landlhrd's surprise, she had paid he
bill with 500 greenback when sh
left. Hens money had been mostly i
bills of that denomination.
Hen "kept stiff upper lip" and sal
little, when he got back to the ranch
which he did in sholt time much t
our surprise.

LOVES FITTING.

When Love is coming, coming,
Meet him with songs and joy,
Bid him alight and enter,
Flatter and feast the boy;
Crown him with gems and roses,
Charm him with winning wiles,
Bind him with lovely garlands,
And kisses, and smiles,
When Love is going, going,
Leaving you all alone,
Craving, the tickle tyrant,
Some newer slave and throne,
Hinder him not, but quickly,
Even though your heart may bleed
Saddle horse for his journey,
And bid him God.speedl

STIMULUS TO STUDENTS.
Ten-DoIlar Bills Hidden in the Pages of
Deep and Dry Volumes.

Ten-Dollar Bills Hidden in the Pages of
Deep and Dry Volumes.
An exclamation of surprise burst from
the lips of young fellow who had been
istlessly turning over the leaves of a
volume while standing in an aisle of a
well known library few days ago.
''What's the matter?" asked a COM
panion who was standing near by.
You must have struck something rich. :"
"Quite right" returned the former.
'What do you think of this?" AT the
same time the speaker exhibited crisp
ten-dollar bill of the most recent vint-
age. You may not believe it, he re-
marked, ''but just found this X be-
tween the covers of this book"
A discussion of the lucky find fol-
lowed. One of the Young men then
suggested that search of the volume
might bring some explanation of the
peculiar discovery. The book was Sam
uel Smiles ''Self-Help," a series of adj
dresses that are not read as often as
they should be. Neatly folded in the
place where the bill had hidden lay a
note that had at first escaped the atten-
ton of the pair. 1t was unfolded with
tremulous fingers. Written in a quer-
ulous, unsteady hand were these sur
prising words:
To the Finder-I place this note here IN sup
port Of fond idea OF mine that il viii stimulate
young men 20 read and digest more frequently
have pursued this same method with other
works.
The singular discovery Of the note
and the greenback had its apparent eff
feet. After recovering from their as
Constituent, the young men began rum
maging among the books that they con-
cluded were heavy. Those in the library
at the time and for several hours after
ward. were curiously watching pair
of young men running rapidly, but care
fully, through the leaves Of the musty
books. At the end of couple of hours
two weary young fellows sat down and
glared disCustingly at each other.
I'm afraid we are looking in the
wrong place" remarked the fortunate
finder of the first green Il guess
that old codver has scattered these
through the library. Let's give II up
tonight and have a good time on this
money. Il Will help US 20 be more cult

For several DAYS afterward these
Young fellows searched sssiduously
through the books But their efforts
met with pathetic failure Whether

FIGHTING WITH LASSOS.

Two Angry Cowboys in q Duel the
Plains-An Exciting Contest.
A fierce, unique duel was fought near
Tombstone, Ariz., recently by two cow
boys, Buster Billings and Jim Collins.
They had quarreled over one thing or
another every time they had met. Final
~, they had fierce set-to in words over
story one of them told in a barroom
about his skill in lasso throwing, the
usual frontier insults were uttered, and
the one whose skill had been sneered at
Buster Blllings-declared that if they
were outside he would fling his lass"
over the other ones neck, and drag him
to the place that isn't mentioned in
polite society. jim dared him to come
aud try it, and off they started.
They mounted their ponies and gal
loped off at breakneck speed, followed
BY all the men who had or could get
horses. Four or five miles out from
town they stopped; each one picked out
two friends from the crowd to watch
proceedings, and half dozen others,
out from town, sat on their horses in
little group and cheered impartially.
The duellists were mounted on mus
tang ponies, trained to the habits of
lasso throwers and quick to obey the
slightest motion of riders body. The
men, with their coiled lariats in hand,
their faces distorted by anger, circled
then the battle began. The lassos flew
kissing through the air, the men
lodged, the ponies sprang to one side,
the ropes were coiled again and went
spinning and singing to their aim with
such rapidity that the spectators could
scarcely follow the movements. Some
times a lariat would fall on pony's
back and make him plunge and rear,
while his rider did some adroit lodging
and ducking until he got the animal
under control again. Sometimes it
would fall on the shoulder, back, or
arm of the man. The bodies of both
men after the fight were a mass Of
black bruises and livid welts.
The fight lasted for half an hou4., and
widest and most exciting half hour
they ever passed. The marvellously
quick turning and wheeling of the
ponies, the grace and skill with which
the men sat their horses, their quick
ness of eye and hand, and the agility
with which they avoided the moose, and,
above all, the rapidity and skill with
which the lassos were thrown, made
scene of breathless excitement.
At the end of half an hour both men
were nearly exhausted but neither was
willing to quit When Collins swayed
a little in the saddle his opponent,
quick as flash, took advantage of his
temporary weakness. The lasso went
hurtling through the air, and the moose
fell over Collins head and shoulders,
and sharp jerk pinioned his arms to
his body. Billings gave a fierce yell
and started off on gallop, dragging
his vanquished enemy behind him. 1t
was his purpose evidently to carry out
his threat of dragging Collins to death,
but the spectators put spurs to their
horses, headed him off, and compelled
him to be satisfied with his victory.-N.
