Branding q Maverick.

In a dell in the forest we espied some
mavericks" OF unbranded stock. The
punchers are ever alert for a beef with
out half its ears gone and q big HF
burned in its flank, and immediately
they perceive one they tighten their
cincha, slip the rope from the pommel,
put their hats on the back of their heads
and slight out" Acow was soon caught,
after desperate riding over rocks and
fallen timber, thrown down and "hog
tied" which means all four feet togeth-
er. A little fire is built, and one side of
a cincha ring is heated redhot, with
which a rawhide artist paints HF in the
sizzling flesh, while the cow kicks and
bawls.
She is then unbound, and when she
gets back on her feet the vaqueros stand
about, serape in hand, after the bull
fighter fashion, and provoke her to
charge. She charges, while they avoid
her by agile springs and q Haunting of
their rags. They laugh and cry, "Bravo
toror" until she, having overcome her in
dignation at their rudeness, sets forth
down the canyon with her tail in the air.

There was great emotion in Boss
McKane's Sunday School when
the assistant superintendent re-
ferred to the trouble that has
overtaken "tbe good, kind-hearted
gentleman" There was a noise
of shalf- stifed sobs" at the sug-
gestion that he has been greatly
encompassed by his enemies" and
sigh Of relief and affirmation at
the request ''above all, don't for
get to pray every night for him
whom we miss SO much" That
was an excellent suggestion, for
while the prayers may not serve
him temporarily they may do
much for his spiritual nature.
From the Boss record, however,
it will require a long and special
season of microscopy petition.

A TOUCHING story is told of a
young bride in New York, who
hesitated to 60 on with the cere-
mony because she did not wish to
VOW obedience to her husband.
The girl was very young and very
foolish, or she would have known
that no woman nowadays considers
the obedience clause in the cere-
mony as anything more than an
idle and imperative form. It was
only when two or three married
women placed the matter before
her in the proper light that she
consented to allow the service to
proceed. In six months she will
blush at the memory OF her cow
ardice and Ignorance.

WEALTH CANNOT BUY THEM.

Mrs. Lynn linton Enumerates . Few Of
Life's Unpurchasables.
When Mrs. Lynn Linton forgets to be
original and radical, she is capable OF
saying soma fairly pleasant things. The
idea that many things Of value cannot
be bought, and that those things which
can be bought are only of secondary i'm
portance in the world, is not strikingly
new. Two or three people had hit upon
it before Mrs. Linton. But what she
says about the unpurchasable things is
not the less interesting and timely be-
cause they have been said ever since the
deluge.
There is happiness, she tells us, that
gold may not buy. when the woman
you love deceives you, and the portrait
gem clasped' worn over her heart shows
another face than yours-when the hus.
band you were unconventional enough
to love in the fearless old fashion lies
dead in your arms, and your whole fu-
ture is darkened and storm riven-when
your son has disgraced his name and
by his own lack of honor has slandered
and cast doubt on his mothers do your
Claudes and Turner's, your Limoges en-.
amels and old Venetian glass ease the
smart7 Does your splendid collection OF
first editions in their perfect bindings
dry the tears which come to mems eyes
as well as to women's, when the bitter
ness is full and by its very fullness per
force wells over? What do your fields
and farms, your balance at the bankers,
your carriages and horses do for you
when your favorite daughter runs of
with the groom, and her sister browns
herself in despair: No! Happiness is
not to be bought"
Then there are love and honor and
youth that the gold Of the Indies will
not purchase. And in these days when
creams and lotions, dietings and exercises
claim to put off the evil hour Of age
it is well to read what this very level
headed woman says about youth.
"You may buy fashion cosmetics, she
says, ''artful enhancements, subtle dyes
that look almost as good as the real
thing, but you cannot buy youth no,
beauty. In spite of all your care, and
though you give 10 shillings for the val.
ne of a penny, you cannot put back the
hands of the clock nor blunt the scythe
of time.
"That enamel is cleverly done; that
dyed, frizzed hair is a veritable work Of
art; those painted cheeks simulate the
carnations Of youth more creditably
than in SO Of your competitors, but-the
cruel fact remains acknowledgements
cannot be purchased and old e cannot
be bought off. The poor old shriveled
skin gradually grows more and more
like parchment. The fading eyes lose
their brightness, and not belladonna it.
self IA bring back that dark line around
the iris which age and weakened vital
ty replace by that all eloquent ARGUS
senilis."
None of it is very new. It is not nearly
so striking as her views on the sswild
woman" but still it is good to recall q
few of these interesting facts in these
days of dancing grandmammas and eli.
gible bachelors Of 60 or so.-New York

A CAREFUL perusal Of the col
umns Of Nebraska daily and week
ly papers shows that many public
and private enterprises are await
ing the opening of spring, when
they will be launched and carried
to success. Bonds will be voted
in a number Of counties for irriga-
ton bitches, court houses a n d
branch railroads. Towns will vote
bonds for water works and sewerage
systems. Local capitalists are
asking for bids upon projected
business blocks and residences.
Several churches are soon to be
built. In fact there appears to be
an onward move throughout the
state, more noticeable than here
tofore. This does not seem to be
compatible with the song of des-
pair and business depression thai
has held sway the past six months

Of Nebraska and her ability to re-
cover from temporary business

The Largest Cities Of Antiquity.

The greatest cities Of ancient times
were Babylon and Rome. The former
is said to have had an area Of 100 to 900
square miles. Its houses were three OF
four stories high, but palaces and gar
dens occupied much Of the vast area, so
that the population was not what these
figures would seem to indicate. In fact,
it is said by one historian that nine
tenths Of this area were taken up by gar
dens and orchards. The total popula-
ton of the city under Nebuchadnezzar
and his son Evil erodach is estimated
at upward of 2,OOO, 900. Rome reached
it's greatest size during the fourth cen
fury of our era, and its population was
then about 2, SOC, 00O.-Western Mail.

The Dictionary Habit.

Eyes, it's a good thing for a man to

can often be carried to excess" said a
well known magazine writer. "Why,
I've seen a man get SO much addicted to
this habit" he continued, shat he could
not write an ordinary letter without
turning to the dictionary three or four
times in order to ascertain some big
words that he could use. This, I think,
is a very great waste Of time, as he does
not express his meaning a bit better than
if he had used some shorter and really
English words"
