"lt is always said," remarked Scoot
Hendee to the corridor man. "that a
mans ideal does not exist on this ter
restrial ball; that always it is ether
cal, e~vanescent, and can never be
described nor painted. I am a
painter--not by trade. but by
choice-and ! really think that |
have not only painted my ideal wo-
man, but later still found her. For
a long time studied over what beau
ty is in woman and endeavored to
visionize my ideal. I partly sue
ceeded in this, for later I painted
what / considered the most beautiful
woman, measured, of course, by the
standard of my own inclinations and
choice. Then / fell to admiring my
work and dreamed of some. day
meeting my idea. About five years
ago I travelled in Switzerland sketch.
ing the glorious Alpine scenery, the
natives and the pretty women.
"One afternoon I journeyed, or
rather pilgrimaged, to a rich old
burgher's country seat, about seven
teen leagues from Lucerne, to sketch
and to visit the graves of some of
Switzerland's fallen heroes. While
there l met the owner. a stern old
Roman Catholic. who could Auently
speak French. He introduced me to
his daughter, the fair Emily, in whom
l found a majority of the character Of
my ideal. I had almost painted her
correctly. While there I studied
her face closely, so as to be able to
catch the fleeing expressions and
the sentiment that I knew my pic.
ture lacked. Then | returned home
and touched again the face with my
brush. After making a very little
change found that the picture wa
a splendid likeness, and l accordingly
presented it to the family."-St

Dillon Examiner: Heretofore the
Examiner has refrained from express

believing that a feeling of gratitude

remain in the fight against his own
will and judgment. But there is a
limit to such tactics, and this limit
has been reached. The events of the
past few days have shown Mr.. Dix
on's course in IA new, and, we regret
to say, very unfavorable light. He
has surrendered every principle Of
independence and become a plant
tool in the hands of Marcus DAILY
His course toward Representative
Cooler, who happened to vote for Mr.
Clark, shows a mean spirit of spite
fulness which we thought Mr.. Dixon
incapable of while his demand fol
the withdrawal of Mr.. Clark places
him in the attitude of an obstruction
list, who repudiates every principle Of
Democracy. Henceforth he is unwor'

Three Broadway cars, four trucks.
a mail wagon and a light cart became
entangled in a blockade near Prince
street. 1t was bitter cold, and drivers
felt grieved that they had to stand
still.
Then a handsome Garage with a
spanking team and old driver in
livery tried to worm it's way through
the bfocade. There was a rattle and
a bang, and the Garage wheels were
caught by the wheels of truck.
"Hah, We swash faced, Junk headed
baboon," a car driver yelled to the
liveried driver, "whar' y GAVIN"
"Gabback out O that" cried an
other driver.
The air was blue with profanity,
each driver vying to outswear the
other. The driver of the carriage
said never a word, but his face was a
study. Rage, hostility and cuss
words were struggling there with
restraint and duty.
Just then the carriage door was
opened from within, and a rosy face
appeared, budding from a hazy mass
of light form. -
1t "a a sweet, blue eyed, young and
very pretty face, only the mouth was
contracted as if in pain.
"What's the matter, John?" she
asked plaintively. "Can't you drive
on? I'm just freezing in here"
The swearing ceased at once, and nc
one looked John in the face, but the
driver of the car backed his horses
the truck pulled up a little, the cars
swung slightly around, and the car
riage passed through and rolled OF
its wav.--New York Sun.

THEY all say sit hits the spot"
when they read the HERALD's tele-
graphic news page; what will they
say when they read Miss Muldoon's
dear letter? Guess we will have to
hire her to write up our delinquent
subscribers, not to mention any
names, you know, but just to
start after the delinquent on general
principles, as we find him. Well,
there is a little danger that she might
depopulate the gulch.

The following beautiful lines We're written for the
NElHARr HERALD by FLORENCE l.. SNOW. This
is the first time we have been favored by any
of her writings and we trust she will not make
this her last.-ED.
The south wind, strewing feathered grain one day
Scattered the tiny seeds across the way:
And when | questioned why he blew
The precious seed where nothing grew,
He answered, swaying too and fro,
~ do not know; | can but SOW,
And God the increase will bestow."
And when a poet faring past my door
Spoke wondrous words | ne'er had heard before
asked him why his largess spanned
SO many bits of sterile land;
And like the wind he murmured low:
81 do not know; | can but sow,
And God the increase will bestOw.'
Oh! Life and Love. wherever you may be,
Give song and seed its utmost ministry.
And to the worlds dull questioning,
Such simple faith forever bring,
And answer softly a. you go:
81 do not know, | can but sow:
And God the increase will bestow.

Meagher county News: Neihart,
the pride of Meagher county, is get
ting to be quite a sporting town.
Last Monday a prize-6ght took pla ce
there and it was good. Such things
may be demoralizing Ito the eyes)
but they draw a crowd. They also
had a nightcap sociable, which must
hav been amusing. We once roomed
next door to an old couple, separated
by a thin partition Every morning
about 2 o'clock they had a sociable
that lasted about two hours, and our
stock in the hereafter continually
decreased as long as these night-car
sociables lasted. We presume
theirs will be of a different kind.

Boy Again

I'd like to be a boy again without
a woe or care, with freckles scattered
on my face and hayseed in my hair;
I'd like to riseat 4 o'clock and do a
hundred chores, and saw the wood
and feed the hogs and lock the stable
doors; and herd the hens and watch
the bees and take the mules to drink,
and teach the turkeys how to swim
so that they wouldn't sink: and milk
a hundred cows and bring in wood
to burn. and stand out in the sun and
churn and churn and churn; and
wear my brothers cast off clothes,
and walk four miles to school, and
get a licking every day for breaking
some old rule; and then go home
again at night and do the chores
once more, and milk the cows and
feed the hogs and curry mules galore
and then crawl YEARLY upstairs te
seek my little bed, and hear dad say
"That worthless boy! He isn't worth
his bread" I'd like to be a boy
again; a boy has so much fun; his
life is just a round of mirth from rise
to set of sun; ] guess there's nothing
pleasanter then closing stable doors
and herding hens, and chasing bees
and doing evening chores.-Ex.

The most desperate gambler ever
known was the man who killed him
self in Reno, Nevada, on a wager.
Albert Hoffman shot himself after
wagering three dollars with a bar
tender that he would kill himself
that night. He went to his home
after making the bet and shot him
self through the stomach. He won
the bet, but the funeral was paid fol
out of public funds.

Editing q Newspaper.

An exchange remarks: Editing a
newspaper is a pleasant business
you can stand it. If it contains
many advertisements the subscribers
complain that they take up to much
space.
If there is a lack of advertising it
is unpopular and the people wont
have it.
If we attend church regularly,
they say that we go for effect.
If we stay away from church they
say that we are monstrously heathen-
ish.

ding they say that we were only
invited to "write it up"
If We go to the opera they say
we 90 on free tickets.
If we are seen upon the streets too
often they say we neglect u bust
ness.
If we avoid going on the streets
they say we don't hustle around fol
our news.
If we reject a long communication
it's author becomes furiously enrageC
and discontinues his paper.
If we publish lengthy commun
ications our readers say that we lacl
discretion and put in everything tt

W%ashington's birthday, they say W.

a drop of patriotic blood flowing il

exceedingly light and won't do.
If we omit jokes, they say that W

that large shipments of horse steaks
are being made regularly from New

be possible to fine a market for them
in that same foreign city.

PARALYSIS would follow and death speed

at the Hines child the chamber had re-

under the hammer, and when Miss
Clark pulled the trigger Of course the
pistol was dis charged.

EXCITING RUNAwAY.-A horse at
tached TO a wagon belonging to Mr..
VIM. b. Clarke, Of Haytield, Fairfax
county, while standing in front OF
Messrs. Leadbeater & Sons drug store
between one and two o'clock this after
noon, became frightened and ran away
The animal rushed down Fairfax street
with the wagon bouncing and careening
behind it until Duke street was reach
ed, where the vehicle toppled over, and
the horse getting one of his hind feet
entansled in front wheel was COM
PEELED to come to halt. The wheel
was somewhat damaged, but the ami
NAL was apparently uninjured. A
porker and five pigs were in the wagon,
aud when it capsized they scampered
through the streets, and it was after
much difficulty, and to the no little
amusement of spectators, that they
were finally caught and replaced in
the wagon. The hog was especially
obdurate, jumping from the vehicle
several times after having been placed
therein.
