The Future of the Cowb~v.

know that the cowboys unique posi- tion among Americans is jeopardized in thousand ways. Towns are growing up on their pasture lands; irrigation schemes of dozen sorts threaten to turn bunchgrass scenery into farmland views; farmers are pre-empting valleys and the sides of waterways, and the day is not far distant when stock raising must be done mainly in small herds, with winter corrals, and then the cow boys day will end. Even now his con- dition disappoints those who knew him only half dozen years ago. His breed seems to have deteriorated, and his ranks are filling with men who work for wages" rather than for love of the free life and bold companionship that once tempted men into that calling.
 Splendid Cheyenne saddles are less and less numerous in the outfits; the distinctive hat that made it's way up from Mexico may or may not be worn; all the civil authorities in nearly all the towns in the grazing country forbid the wearing of side arms; nobody shoots up" those towns any more. The fact is the old simon pure cowboy days are gone already, and when the barber Des- tiny again has vacant chair and calls out '.nextn the cowboy will himself dis eppssr.--JuliAn Ralph tn HArpsr's WSaad&

Chew on Thisl

Now is the time of year when the far mer wants new tools, vehicles, horses and cattle; the general utility buyer is on the lookout for bars aims; the mother of the family studies to find where she can buy her children's summer outfit to the best advantage; ;the man who is tired of being always tenant has sharp eye ont for good home for sale at moder- ate price, and the tenant who must move goes house hunting in the news papers.
 The newspaper is the great medium of communication between buyer and seller. Shrewd old P. T. Barnum, who knew few things about advertising, said: '.If you have ten dollars to spend, spend one for the article and the other nine in advertising it. And agaln he said: 1T can out talk any body on earth but the printer. The man who can stick type and talk next morn ing to thousands of people while I'm talking to one; is the only man I'm afraid of I want him for my friend. "
 All of which goes to show that if you have anything to rent or sell, or if you cannot find what you are looking for, just try the virtue of newspaper ad- yertisement.-New Hartford Tribune.

Ginning Cotton by Electricity.

For the first time in the history of the world cotton has just been ginned by electricity at the Agricultural and Me chanical College of Alabama, at Auburn, thus furnishing an entirely new applica- hon of this marvellous form of power. For the purpose of illustrating the transmission of power by electricity the class in electrical engineering, under the direction of their professor, A. F. McKissick, connected the generator at the dynamo room of the college with the motor at the Statum farm by wire 5000 feet in length, the distance between the college and the farm. By running the dynamo at the college the motor at the farm did the work of the ten horse power engine formerly used. It ground oats and corn for COW feed and ginned cotton, doing the work in a simple, effec- tive manner, with small percentage of loss.
 This application of electricity not only affords a convenient source of power, but also gives increased exemption from danger of fire from the use of an engine. It is designed that hereafter all work of this character required at the farm shall be done by electricity.-Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat

George Bidwell's Granddaughter.

George Bidwell, the ticket-of-leave man, who served fifteen years in Dart moor for robbing the Bank of England, is more talked about at the Palace than any one else who stops there. Every evening he and his brother Austin, who was within the walls of Chatham nineteen years for complicity in the same robbery, may be seen about the rotunda. To Justice c. A. Low and sev- eral others last night, while alluding to his strangely checkered and stormy life, he told a story. It had reference in part to Puritan ancestorship.
 'It is touching story" he said. ''I don't often tell it. My little grand daughter-rve got three very pretty lit tie grandchildren-one day came to me and climbed up on my knee, and looked into my face and said:
 Grandpa, did you teal a great big bag of goldY
 "She had been taught, you see, that it was wrong to steal anything. Somebody had told her, don't know who," added the ticket-of-leave man, his eyes per ceptibly suffused and his voice just a trife broken.-San Francisco Examiner.

IDferrnDtiOn.

Thomas Carlyle, though great talker on occasion, did not talk with people who, in his opinion, were not worth his talk. A young American once called on the sage of Chelsea with letter of introduction from friend.
 MT. Carlyle talked with him long enough to get the impression that the young man had no ideas to exchange for his own, and then relapsed into sullen silence, gazing the while steadily into the fire.
 The visitor, who was much awed by the presence of the great man, sat in similar silence for several minutes. Then it oc- cured to him that his host was waiting for him to say something.
 "Ah-Mr. Carlyle"- he began falter- ingly, "what a fine old neighborhood-ah Chelsea is''-
 Don't interrupt me"' thundered Car lyle, looking up angrily.
 "Ah, but MT. Carlyle!' said the young man, in astonishment; but you weren't saying anythingP'

HAVING FUN
But PasssngerS Grew Frightened and
 Looked for a Terrible Fight.

But PasssngerS Grew Frightened and
 Looked for Terrible Fight.
 There is staid solemnity about the average railroad conductor that is simply awe inspiring. He passes through the car in his monotonous round ot punching and collecting tickets, with a sort of subdued, mournful air, as if there was nothing in life for him but punching and collecting tickets. "Your tickets, please" he says in tone of per suasive blandness. He never smiles; he never jokes; he punches the tickets proffered him in a sadly perfunctory way. This is when he is on duty.
 The other day struck upon a conduc- tor of New Jersey Central train when off duty. He was a different man. He was dressed differently, having doffed his regulation blue and brass buttoned uniform. I soon found that this fellow was full of fun way down to the bottom of his boots, and that the conductor of the train on duty had likewise vein of humor as rich and fertile, though care fully concealed.
 "Your ticket, please" asked the con- ductor of the train as he came to where the conductor off duty was seated.
 T have no ticket" was the response.
 "Then you will have to pay your fare"
 'I will pay you when I get to my journeys end and not before" sSid the off duty conductor in tone of irate firmness. Railroad companies have no business to exact fares in advance. How do I know whether the train will get through or not. The train may run off the track and we may all be smashed to pieces, and then I'd be out my fare. No, sir, have made up my mind that from this day on, and have to ride great deal on the cars, that shall never buy 8 railroad ticket and never pay my fare before I get to the end of my journey"
 "I am not here to be trifed with" re- torted the conductor, with an air of in- tense savage gravity, "How far are you going?'
 "To the end of the route."
 "Not unless you give me ticket or pay your fare"
 'I have told you what will do. I won't pay you before l get to my stop ping place"
 "Then I shall put you off the train"
 ''I dare you to do 1t. l only hope you will, for then the company will have to pay me money enough to make me in- dependent for hfe."
 "Wait till I get through punching tickets and I'll bounce you off this train so quick you'll think you have been struck by lightning"
 "Do it if you dare. Do it now; don't wait on my account; don't wait for any thing" ..... .. ...
 The two talked so loud and appeared to be so angry that the attention of all the passengers in the car was directed to them. They seemed as mad as two wet hens, that popular formulated climax of indignation. It was the cause of some fright to the passengers, but then those two conductors were having 8 big lot of fun all to themselves and they kept it up with increasing vehe- mence at intervals to the end of the route.-New York Herald.

Those Roads Again.

We quote the following from the New York Tribune without comment:
 ''The plan for an exhibit of road-mak- ing, materials for roads etc., at the Worlds Fair. has much to commend it. On hardly any other subject is popular ignorance so dense, although the sub- iect is one that vitally affects many mil lions of people. The educational value of such an exhibit as is proposed will be great, and it is to be hoped that there will be hearty interest and co operation in the movement for road-making ex- hibit at Chicago"

How are you going to tell a good paint from poor one by reading the adver- tisements?
 The poor paint may be advertised more extensively than the good one, as there is a larger margin of profit for the manufacturer. It is difficult question to answer.
 The advertisements of the Chiffon Paints have one object in view, to fa- familiarize you with the name CHILL TON, and connect it in your mind with paint; this done, we want you to inquire if you can, of those who have used it, how they like it-how it wears-if 1t is an economical paint to buy--ask all the questions you choose, we will abide by the result and will be pleased to tell you who have used it.

"BRICK" POMEROY'S GOLDEN THOUGHTS.

Every drink of liquor given or sold to another must be atoned for in the life beyond this
 Envy is consuming fever of weak ness
 Every form of religion is failure to that man who by it does not make his own life more beautiful.
 One reason why some persons do not attend church is because they are afraid to see or be with God.
 Anger Is guest that injures or de- stroys much valuable furniture.
 The most useful restraint is that which we apply to ourselves.
 To help man who is striving is to make friend for the future.
