Systematically There were medals and
trophies innumerable, and among other
things there was rude painting, done in
yellow, red and blue, representing white
woman grasping the hand of an Indian
girl There were no words explaining its
meaning in the lower left corner ap
peared the letters K-r-a-l-c. Jim held this
picture before him long time and studied
it, and great sigh welled from his lips,
and a tear strayed down his rugged face.
"My poor dead pardp' he muttered and
brushed the tear away; then he arose and
went to the sitting room, still holding the
picture before him; he handed it to his sis
ter without a word. She glanced at il and
laughed, but her laughter was cut short
by the hoarse, almost savage, voice of Cap
tain Jim.
Don't ye laugh at that" he cried. my

never was a stidier hand than Whistling

marry until the feller she promised is
can do"
'sAnd that's to stay hero and wait until
she changes her mind.''
'sNo-great alligatorsi don't want her
to change her mind, NeiIie,' and Captain
Jim arose and shook back his masses of
hair. "I'm going west to find out if that
teller is dead or married. l feel it in my
bones from what she said that he went to
Arizony. If he's above ground I'll find
him."
Then the captain left the room, and
Mrs Evans leaned her head upon her
hand and cried She had hoped that Jim
would always be with her Until two
months ago she had not seen him since she
was a very little girl, and perhaps she
loved him the more that be had come to
her like a stranger And now he was go
ing back to that land of dangers, where he
had been SCARED and wounded SO often,
and she wept, for she knew it was useless
to endeavor to change the purpose of Cap
tain Jim.
When the boarders at the hotel had eaten
their breakfast and departed on their sew
eral errands on the morning Of the 18th of
February Captain Jim and his sister seated
themselves at the table and made a silent
pretense of eating Mrs Evans eyes were
moist with unshed tears, and Jim's were
gloomy beyond expression. The stiffness
became so oppressive that Mrs Evans he
roically broke it by saying:
s"Ihis is Valentine Day. JIM
"What Valentine dye mean? Ole Jim,
that runs the sawmills"
"Graciousl You know what Valentine
Day is, don't your"
NO, 1 don't. don't know much of any

"Why, no. can hardly explain what it
is, but today lovers send pictures and poems

for you to go away and leave her."
"But-but you don't understand And
Jim almost sobbed, and in his emotion his
language suffered. "She's good gal, as
you say, and knowed it, and l asked her
TO be my squaw wife-today, and She
wouldn't-Nellie, she wouldn't"
And then his sister flushed with anger.
''Did Ella Fansler refuse you, Jim2
The"-
Hold, thar, sis. Let me tell you the
story. She didn't deny as how she loved
me, sis. She said she knew that when she
put her trust in me she wasn't banking
on salted claim or a pocket; that had
mineral in place and would pan out all
right at the smelter"-
'Goodnessl What sort of rigmarole is
that2"
ssOh, forgot. She said she thought had
true worth, and that she might marry me,
only that she had vowed-yowed was the
word--to marry a fellow that loved her
years ago and went away, and she hasn't
heard from him since; but she will marry
no man until she knows he is dead or un-
true"
"What foolishness! Did she say that,
Jim?'
'She did, and honor her for it. If had
gal I'd want her to be jest the same.
Perhaps the feller is in the mountings,
where he can't write, ye see, and he may
pome to her some day when he has made
his pile, and then what would he think if
some chap had taken his ranch and proved

the sleepy river town of Westport, and
even Captain Jim shivered as he trudged
coward his sisters hotel, hardened as
he was to elemental cruelty by his
years of experience on the plains. And
Captain Jim was as gloomy as the
weather. His brow under the sombrero he
wore even in winter was furrowed; his
lips under his grizzly mustache We're pale,
and his gray eyes were stern and sad.
.'Thar's only one thing l can do,' he
muttered as he clambered the steps that
led to the office of the hotel. 81 must get

He strobe through the hotel Office and to
the sitting room, where his sister greeted
him with a pleasant smile and "Howdy

II don't do very good, Nellie" sighed
the captain as he sank into a chair and
stroked his long hair with massive hand.
And while he is sitting and sighing and
while his sister is viewing him with amused
curiosity the chronicler of this little
history will endeavor to tell something
about them.
The lady, Mrs Evans, was the widow of
a gentleman many years her senior who
in passing away bequeathed her his bless

dened with mortgage. By thrift and
good management Mrs. Evans paid off
the mortgage, and at the time of the

an era of unexampled prosperity.

Cuitiyating Colt Courage.

y horse that is naturally courage
Gus may be made cowardly by abuse.
If he often receives blows the fear of
them is uppermost. The man who
abuses his horses is often rewarded
by the destruction of his property
and injury to himself, the result of
runaways. 1t is hardly saying too
much to assert that if the colt is
properly treated it will never run
away. The horse should be trained,
not broken; and training requires
tirmness, mixed with much kindness.
The man who has no control over his
own temper and whose Judgment is
warped by anger is not fit to train a
colt. The basis of courage is conf
dence, and the first point is to secure
the confidence of the colt The next
is to make the colt sure of his sur
roundings. Watch closely and
whenever he shows fear of anything,
allow him to smell of it. If he has
confidence in his trainer this will not
be difficult. If he SHES at stump
or rock, ride or drive him up to it,
Drive him nearer and nearer the cars
until he is no longer afraid of them
Have the whistle sounded when his
head is turned toward it, and repeat
this till he ceases to start at the
sound Handle his limbs and touch
them with strap until he no longer
shrinks.
The courageous horse, the one
with spirit trained, not broken, is
the horse that does the most work
1t does not lag; it has the spirit, the
courage to exert itself to the utmost.
1t is the one with trained spirit with
fine temper that does the most work,
the least harm, and in danger acts
quickly and intelligently.

Army Reorganizations.

The House Committee at Washing
ton, on Military Affairs has author
lied Cultivate to report the bill to
reorganize the artillery and infantry
of the army and increase its efficiency.
The artillery is to consist of seven
regiments, of not more than twelve
batteries each Each regiment is to
consist of one colonel one lieutenant
colonel, three majors, twelve cap
tains, eleven first and ten second
lieutenants, with the number of en-
listed men now allowed by law.
The infantry force is to be reor-
ganized into twenty y-one regiments of
not more than twelve companies
each. Each regiment to consist of
one lieutenant-colonel, one colonel
three majors, twelve captains, eleven
first and ten second lieutenants,
with the enlisted force now author
lied by law.
All original vacancies caused or
created by this act are to be filled by
promotion by seniority, according to
the length of service The President
is given authority to authorize the
enlistment of colored men and In
dians, the companies of this kind not
to exceed ten in any regiment. The
object of this measure is to decrease
the expense of these branches of ser
vice without impairing their eff
cheney.

Enough dresses for every day wear
through the year may be made up
now but remember in making your
summer dresses not to line the
sleeves or make too high collars just
because they feel comfortable now at
the trying on. Make print, gingham
or outing cloth dresses to fit well
even if they are of cheap cloth, but
trim them very little. Especially
take care to keep the skirts plain;
ruffies are out of place Fix the neck
in a becoming way and then keep it
buttoned or pinned neatly. | have
seen busy housekeepers who never
thought of fastening the neck OF
their dresses in the manner intended.
A pretty neck gains nothing by this
neglect and most necks look better
covered with a fitted dress collar
Instead of making a dress sleeve
large enough to slip over the arm tC
above the elbow, put on few but
tons and have them so that they vii
fasten and fit around the wrist.

Transverse Veins.
cheney.

An important decision was handed
down by the Supreme Court in the
case of the Watervale Mining Com
pany of Chicago, owners of the Black
Eagle mine, versus the owners of the
Big Comet. The case originated
two years ago. The owners of the
Big Comet followed vein which
transversely crossed the vein of the
Black Eagle, and the latter corpora
tion began suit in ejectment.
The lower court decided in favor
of the defendants, basing the finding
on four decisions of the Supreme
Court of Colorado and one by Judge
Hallett, United States District Judge
of that State, who construed section
1886, Revised Statutes, to apply to
the crossing of veins on strike.
The case was appealed, the appel
lants relying on the doctrine that
the section defines instead that own
ers' claims to mineral beneath the
surface must be confined to the
boundaries of the claim extended
downward vertically, except in case
of lode whose apex runs parallel to
the adjoining claim and drifts outside
above the described vertical bounda-
ries. The appellants pointed to the
fact that section 1922, which applies
to transverse veins, is directly OPP
posed to the theory of the Colorado
courts, and the Supreme Court took
a similar view of the case and re-
versed the judgment of the lower
court.
The decision is regarded among le-
gal and mining men as of the highest
Importance, overturning the con-
struction of mining law which pre-
vailed since 1879, the date Of the Col
orado decisions.

Any kind of timber such as fence
posts and bean poles, may be made
much more durable by a thorough
saturatlon of lime before they are set
in the ground. The poles used in
hop yards and the stakes in vine
yards are thus treated, and last
longer than others not so prepared
The method is as follows: A pit is
made of convenient size and depth,
and the poles or posts are set up
right in it. Lime is thrown in
among the timber, and when the pit
is filled water is poured on the lime,
which becomes Stacked, and, of
course, generates heat, by which the
water and air in the timber is forced
out; and as the timber coolS after
ward, the lime is absorbed into the
pores of the wood. The lime has the
effect of decomposing the albumen OF
the wood and thus prevents its de-
cay, to which the rotting of the tim
ber is chiefly due.

When To Sell Hogs.

When to sell hogs is a mooted
question among farmers. One writer
advises to sell hogs when the most
money can be got for them at the
least outlay. The ups and downs of
prices we cannot control, but by
careful attention to feeding and the
use of scales we can tell closely
whether we are making corn into
pork at a profit or not. Ifnot, there
ought to be change of ration or an
immediate sale of marketable stock.
1t doesn't pay to hold beyond the
time of profitable growth and fatten-
ing. Most successful feeders believe
it pays best one year with another to
sell the pork when the highest point
in gain has been reached, letting the
question of probable higher prices
alone. Corn used in keeping over
fattened hogs will make twice as
much pork if given to other animals.
1t is a losing game hold for an in
crease of price as rule Make all
the pork you can out of your corn in
just as little time as possible and
then market to the best advantage.

The Weekly Cleaning.

Why house should require such
frequent going over, so much and 50
regular administration upon in the
way of sweeping and busting, fur
nishing and polishing is a reverend
ing puzzle to the masculine mind,
To a mans eye the house is always
clean unless it is aggressively dirty.
Dust thick enough to form coating
on which one can write his name,
muddy footprints on the piazza or
the hall carpet, disorderly and dingy
apartments evidently in need of the
broom, offend his taste if he be in
the least fastidious,, and he compre-
hends that soap and water have
their uses in emergencies. But the
periodical, systematic and radical
Cleansing onwhich good housekeepers
insist every Friday or Saturday ap-
pears to the ordinary husband a
work of supererogation. He passes
it over as one of his wife's amiable
and womanly weaknesses, pitying
her that she wastes her time and
strength, as it looks to him, in so un-
necessary an effort.
The fact is, however, that if you
would have a house clean and sweet
and shining and inviting to eye and
smell and touch, you must go over it
often from attic to cellar How
great the labor of rendering it clean,
and keeping it so, depends very
largely on the locality of your home,
If your residence be on a public
street in thronged town, you will
have to wage never-ceasing fight
against dust; against disease-germs
borne on the wings of air-laden dust;
against the CRIME and SCOT which
permeate everything, rob furniture
and hangings of their freshness, and
detract from the impression of
beauty you would fain have your
house make on your family and
friends.
Dust Sits through crannies, dives
through windows, and doors, lodges
in papa's coat and Johnnie's ulster
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty, and of cleanliness. Only by
careful daily dusting and by weekly
thoroughness can. you rout the foe.
In the country life is, in this re-
gard, easier; but the temptation
here, in houses not warmed through
out, is to shut up a large part, and
pay attention only to the living
rooms. Who does not know the
vaultlike mustiness, the damp, as of
the grave, in the closed and darkened
refrigerator known as the parlor in
many a country house. A habit of
going over the whole house weekly
would do away with the danger
which comes of breathing stagnant
air
No; we cannot help what our good
man friend may think. The women
must clean house every week; and
spring and fall too!

The Succession of Lamar.

Speculation is already rife over
the succession to Justice Lamar on
the Supreme bench. The particular
person who is to be chosen IS not
considered so much as the question
whether Harrison will make a nomi-
nation to fill the vacancy or leave
the matter open for President-elect
Cleveland's action. 1t is certain, in
view of the attitude of several Demo
cratic Senators toward the nomina-
tion of McComas to be Judge of the
court for the District of Columbia,
that nomination by Harrison would
be antagonized to the end of the ses-
sion and defeated if possible. In
view of that fact it is probable that
the President will not care to pro
woke bitter controversy and will take
no action, but it can be said that he
has come to no determination upon
the matter, and will not consider it
even for several days at least.
Should he decide to make the nomi-
nation the probabilities are that a
member of the United States judici-
ary within Justice Lamars old cir
cult will be honored by the appoint
ment. This circuit embraces Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Texas.
