to have the men meet at Austin.

TEACHING HIM TO WALTZ.

The Girl Who Tried 1t Once Will Never
Make the Attempt Again.
Did you ever try to teach man how
TO waltz? If you never have, don't at
tempt it. One girl went through such
an ordeal, and this is what she says
about it:
I'm the first place, stood beside
him, took hold of his hand and tried to
illustrate how the first steps went.
Then l told him to do as did, and
he began TO see-saw back and forth
like a wild Indian.
"When he whirled around both
arms sprung out, sometimes hitting me
in the eyes and occasionally giving me
whaci in the back of the neck.
"ilis feet made themselves into Chi
nese puzzles He invariable toed in,
walked on his own heels, or else
pranced around heel and toe fashion.
"IIe said that he had no idea that he
had so little control over his feet
Il had to sit down every few mo-
ments to collect my thoughts, catch
my breath and refrain from growing
incurably cross-eyed trying to keep
track of the whereabouts of his Shoes
1t was one, two, three, four until my
lips became parched from constant
counting
You'd have thought that he was
walking through snow-drifts to watch
his steps. Such wiggling, such twist
ing and twirling / never before gazed
upon.
81 kept saying: you must be very
tired; won't you rest awile?' and he al
ways answered.: Tired? Well, 1 guess
notI This is just too jolly
"And then off he'd go in mad tangle
of jumps and hops, and all the time he
sang that awful thing about My left
foot is crazy, my right foot is crazy,
now don't be unazy, I'll learn yez to
waltz
after awhile he insisted on my dane
ing with him Well, when I'd start he'd
be puzzling about which foot he should
begin with or else he'd say: Hold on
now till think of something to whist
tie
"When we did make beginning he
used me for pivot and raced around
me as if he were the tire of wheel
and the hub.
80, it was awful! And when we got
all through with the lesson and I was
puzzling my brains wondering why it
wasn't more successful it suddenly
dawned on my weak little mind that
had taught him to begin with the same
foot that girls begin with.

Bishop Whitaker relates a pathetic
story of life in the California mining
camp A man named Jim East had
struggled and prepared to bring his
wife and child from the east. After she
started on the trip he died of pneu-
monia. The men quit work to bury him
according to their custom. The funeral
services were hardly over when the
stage arrived ut the camp, the stage
arrival being the incident of the day.
The town was full of miners, the sa-
looms were full. but when the stage az
rived the usual crowd gathered around,
Two or three men got out of the stage;
then they helped some one else out.
There was sudden movement of the
crowd forward to see what those near
the stage were looking at, A little
woman steppe down and the word
passed around the four hundred men
encircling the stage: Its Jim East's
widow and child" They passed the
child around from arm to arm and
| kissed her, and those who couldn't get
near enough to kiss reached forward tc
touch the child's cheek or dress, and the
whole crowd of hardy men set sway

| Lets make her a stake" and the
