"Four years, six months, three

"All the way?" asked Jimmieboy.

suddenly. Here we are back at

dow and landed plump into his
papa's lap, the queer creature with
the fiery tail flew off into space.

She Knew How to Harness.

Every woman who drives a horse
should know every strap and buckle
on q harness and how to adjust
them. A horse became frightened,
overturned the vehicle, throwing
out the occupants, and fell entangled
in the harness. Struggling to free
himself, the lady driver hastened and
held him down by the head, and an
other lady to whom she called took
her place. Then, speaking quietly
and firmly to the horse, she gently
unbuckled the harness, piece by
piece, and removed il so that the
horse was relieved. Pulling back the
carriage, she took the reins and
speaking soothingly, compelled him
to rise. This shows what a lady
who has thorough knowledge OF
harnessing can do. Field and

A Brief Hospitality Lesson.

Mind your own business.
Avoid controversy and argument.
Do not monopolize any good
thing.
Do not make hobby of any per-
sonal infirmities.
Do not overdo the matter Of enter
tainment.
Go directly when the call or visit is
ended.
DO not forget bathing facilities for
the traveller.
"Make yourself at home"-but not
too much so.
In ministering to n guest, do not
neglect the family.
Do not gossip-there are better
things in life to talk about.
Conform to the customs of the
house, especially as to meals.
Let no member of the family in-
trude in the guest chamber.
DO not make unnecessary work 70,
Others, even servants.
BE courteous, but not TO the ex.
tent of surrendering principles.
When several guests are present,
give share of attention TO all.
Introduce games and diversions,
but only such as will be agreeable.
Better simple food with pleasure
than luxuries with annoyance and
worry.
Have a comfortable room in readi-
ness, adapted to the needs and
tastes of the guest.
A guest need not accept every pro-
posed entertainment--he should be
considarate of himself and of his
host.
Learn the likes and dislikes Of
those who are to be entertained, but
not through the medium of an inn
perative catechism. -Good House
keeping.

A Great New State

Young America builds bigger than
his forefathers.. Wyoming is not an
exceptionally large state, yet it is as
big as the six states of New England
and Indiana combined. Indiana it-
self is the size of Portugal, and il
larger than Ireland. IL is with more
than ordinary curiosity that one ap-
proaches during course of study of
the new Western States. From the
palace-cars of the Union Pacific Rail-
road, that carries tide of transcon-
tinental travel across its full length,
there is little to see but brown bunch
grass, and yet we know that on it's
surface of 800 miles Of length and
275 miles of width are many noun
tain ranges and noble river-threaded
valleys of such beauty that a great
block of the land is to be preserved
in its present condition as the Yel-
lowstone National Park. We know
that for years this had been a stock
mans paradise, the greatest seat Of
the cattle industry north of Texas
the stamping-ground of the pictur-
esque cowboys who had taken the
place of the hunters who came from
the most distant points OF Europe tu
kill big game there. We know that

Practical Female Suffrage

found that the great majority of
the women in Wyoming are in the
habit of voting. Not all of them
vote as their husband do, and, as
one official expressed himself, good
men pride themselves upon not influ-
encing their wives" Yet it is true, |
am told, that many women, of their
own volition and unconsciously, copy
the politics of their husbands. 0cca-
sionally the men of the State hear of
women who refuse to embrace the priv
ilege, who do not believe that women
should meddle in affairs which con-
Germ the homes, the prosperity, and
the self-respect and credit of the COM
munities OF which they are n part;
but such women are, of course, few.
Among the women who show an
intelligent interest and take an active
part in politics, q few resort to the
stump, and speak for whatever
cause they have adopted. But there
are many who serve side by side with
the men as delegates to conventions
and voters in the eparty primaries. In
the last State convention of the Re-
publicans there were three women;
in that party's last county covention,
in Laramie county, the Secretary
was woman, and three delegates
were of her sex. Women literally
flock to the pTimaries-ln the cities,
at all events. At the primary meet
ing in the Third Ward of Cheyenne
last autumn, out of 1873 who were
present at least 80 were women. In
other wards the proportion of wo-
men was as one is to three. On cleo
tiOn days the women go a-voting
precisely as they go a-shopping else
| where. On foot or in their carriages
F.! they go to the polls. whore. under the
! law, there are no crowds and all il
quiet and orderly. There is no doubt
that female suffrage has an improv-
ing effects upon politicians and their
manners. All sorts and every sort of
women vote, but it is to be remarked
that this affords no criterion for lar
ger and Eastern States, since the
proportion of evil lives is very small
in Wyoming, even in the cities, and,
so far az other women are concerned,
our new States are nearer like democ-
racies than our old one. The lines of
caste are more apt to be noticed by
their absence than by their enforce.

JinmiebOy and the Comet.
BY JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.

Jimmieboy was thinking very hard.
He was also blinking quite as hard
because he was undeniably sleepy.
His father had been reading some
thing to his mamma about n curl
Gus thing that lived up in the sky,
called u comet. .IimmiebOy had
never seen q comet, nor indeed be-
fore that night had he ever heard of
one, so, of course, his ideas as to
what it looked like were rather con-
fused. His fathers description of it
was clear enough, perhaps, but new
ertheless Jimmieboy found it difficult
to COnjure up in his mind any rea-
sOnable creature that could in any
way resemble a comet. Finally,
however, he made up his mind that
it must look like a queer kind of dog,
with nothing but a head and a tail
or perhaps it was @ sort of fiery
polly-wog.
At any rate, while he thought and
blinked, what should he see peeping
in at him through the window but
the comet itself. Jimmieboy knew
it was the comet because the comet
told him so afterward, and besides
it wore a placard suspended about
it's neck, which had printed on it in
great gold letters: "I'm the Comet
Come out and take aride through the
sky with me"
"Me?" cried Jimmieboy, starting
up as soon as he heard the invita-
ton.
Immediately the word eyes" ap-
boy walked over to the window and
stepping right through the glass, as
though it were so much air, found
himself seated upon the Comet 5
back, and mounted to the sky so fast
that his hair stood out behind him
like so many pieces of stiff wire.
Are YOU cOmfOrtable?" asked the
Comet, after few minutes.
Yes, said Jimmieboy, "Only you
kind of dazzle my eyes, you are so
bright"
The Comet appeared to be very
much pleased with this remark, for
he smiled so broadly that Jimmie
boy could see the two ends of his
mouth appear on either side of the
back of his neck.
you're right about that" said
the Comet. I'm the brightest thing
there ever was. I'm all the time get
ting off Jokes and things
"Are you, really?' cried Jimmie
boy, delighted. 81 am so glad, for |
love Jokes and-and things. Get off
a Joke now. will yOu?"
Certainly" replied the obliging
Comet. "You don't know why tbe
moon is called she, do you?"
"No," said Jimmieboy. "Why is
it?"
because it isn't a son, so it must
be a daughter" said the comet. " Is
not that funny?'
81 guess so, " said Jimmieboy, try
ing to look as though he thought the
Joke a good one. "But don't you
know anything funnier than that?'
"Yes," returned the Comet. what
do you think of this: What is the
only thing you can crack without
splitting it?''
THAT sounds interesting" said
JimmiebOy, "but I'm sure | never
could guess"
"Why, it's a joke, of course" said
the Comet. "You can crack a joke
eight times a day and it's just as
whole as it ever was when night
comes"
"That's so" said Jimmieboy
"That's funnier than the others, too
| see now why they call youa comic. .
"I'm not a comic" said the Com.
ct, with laugh at Jimmieboy's mis-
take. "Pm a Comet. | end with a

THE LITTLE ARMCHAIR.
Nobody sits in the little armchair

Nobody sits in the little armchair;
1t stands in the corner dim;
But a white-haiIed mother gazing there,
And yearningly thinking of him,
Sees through the dusk of the long ago
The bloom of her boys sweet face,
AS he rocks so merrily to and fro,
With a laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds n book in his hand,
Sometimes a pencil and slate,
And the lesson is hard to understand,
And the figures hard to mate;
But she sees the nod of his fathers head,
So proud of his little son,
And she hears the word so often said.
"NO fear for our little one"
They were wonderful days, the dear sweet
days,
When a child with sunny hair
Was hers to scOld, to kiss and to praise,
AT her knee in the little chair,
She lost him back in the busy years,
When the great world caught the man,
And he STROBE away past hopes and fears
To his place in the battles van.
But now and then in a ful dream,
Like picture out of date,
She sees head with a golden gleam
Bent over a pencil and slate,
And she lives again the happy day,
The day of her young life's spring,
When the small armchair stood just in TIN
way,
The centre OF everything.

giers and Tunis, respectively, and IL
lustrations from photographs will
accompany the articles. The July

many spirited illustrations by Fred
erick Remington, and the first five
articles by r. II. Davis on English
life. 1t will be called Three English
