Texan Hospitality.

II Il traveller rode up before the fence
that separated the log cabin from the
road, he was greeted by, "'Light, stran-
ger, light Without this salutation
no ono dismountcd, but it was rarely
withheld. Mr.. Williams, in his book,
Sam Houston" thus describes tho i'm
pulse of hospitality, which made every
traveller guest, during the early settle
ment of Texas:
The traveller who rode up to tho front
fence was instantly invited to alight.
His horse was stakcd out or hobbled to
feed on the prairie grass, and the Wis
ltor sat down to exchange the news with
his host. Tho coffee mill was set 60

grains i'll the house, and the hopper in

The venlson or bear meat was put on
the Goals, and the ash cake baked.
After the meal and the evening pine
the visitor stretched himself on Il buf-
falo robe on the floor with the members
OF the family and slept the sleep of
health and fatigue. In the morning the
response to any inquiry rs to the charge
was, You can pay mo by coming
again."
The story that certain hospitable
settler used to waylay travellers on the
road and compel them to visit him at
the muzzlc of Il double barreled shot
gun was only humorous exaggeration
of tho instinct for hospitality which
characterized the community.

You and are old friends, and you will
take away even the slight doubt there
is in my mind. Are they perfectly re-
spectable?"
Somehow or other 1 managed to nod
my head, but his presumption was par
alyzing me.

1.-The reason that asked you is that l
am going to marry Edith
1t took me couple of minutes to
master my emotions, but am proud to
say did it. My reply was cool-al-
most chilly.
"Indeedr' I said. Has she accept
ed your"
No, because haven't proposed yet.
l have given the matter good deal of
thought, but before 1 took SO serious q
step in my life l wanted some such wise

him this question:
What makes you believe she'll have

He seemed astonished.
Have mel" he repeated. "Why,
she's been after mo ever since she knew
me. I'll settle it tomorrow evening""
AS he turned the stairs noticed that
he had on a suit of new clothes, a white
vest and n red necktie. He said some
thing about feeling like schoolboy,
and l rushed back to my room more af-
fronted than l had ever been before in
my life. can always think best when
am in bed, and so I undressed and got
under covers very quickly. When had
thought diligently for an hour, l turned
over and said this to myself:

marrying him! I'll propose myself to
her tomorrow morning. She has been
expecting it, know, for long time. )"
l didn't sleep very we'll and arose a
little after Z O'Clock. 1t took me an
hour to dress myself, and having no ap-
petite for breakfast only drank a cup
of strong coffee. then walked nearly
mile before l had decided what to
say and was barely satisfied with tho
result. Edith was the sort of girl to
be particular about such things, and
wanted to please her fancy.
Mrs. Burke camo to the door and was
just as much surprised to SEQ me as
thought she would be-
" 1t was very good of you to come so
soon, she said, land | didn't think you
knew it yet
Knew what?" said |.
She pulled mo inside the hall and
looked ut me, half smiling and half
fearful.

Then sat down OH tho hatracll and
shook my head. l felt that it was all
over, and that old Browne had won, and
never in my life did 1 suffer so much
misery in SO small a space of time.
Then, said Mrs Burke, II am glad
to be able to inform you myself. Edith

OF many things, but only one sentence
struggled through my lips.
''Does-does old Browne know about
it?' l asked.

An Exception to Natures Laws.

According to the general laws of ma
ture, when a body is cooled it becomes
heavier than when it is hot. There is
at least one exception to this rule, and
that is in the case of water. Now, be-
fore you read further, shut YOUR eyes
and see if you can fguroout just exact
" how important this exception is to
humanity. Cool a can or other vessel
of water from, say, 70 degrees down to
40 degrees and then pour it into a tub
Of water the temperature Of which is
any place between so and so degrees.
You will notice that the cold water
will Immediately sink to the bottom,
and right here is an explanation of the
mystery of river and lake circulation.
But when your cooling process goes be-
low 80 degrees, strange as it may seem,
the water becomes lighter than it was
when it was only one or two degrees
warmer. and if poured into tub heated
as directed above will stay on top or i'm
mediately rise to that position. Now,
let us suppose that water continued to
get heavier as it got colder, as other
bodies do; what would happen? Ice as
soon as it formed would sink to the
bottom, layer upon layer, and in this
way seas, lakes and rivers would be
frozen solid But one freezing would
do for all time, as the rays of the sun
would not penetrate the thin skim of
cold summer water to a sufficient depth
to thaw the rigid mass. For us it is
fortunate that there are exceptions to
all rules. st. Louis Republic.

Remarkable stalactite Caves In Utah.


Two of the most wonderful stalactite
caves in the world are located within the
territory Of Utah-one five miles south
of Toquerville and the other 20 miles
west of ST. George. Neither is remark
able on account Of size, and to the best
of my knowledge the Identifying title Of
cavern" has never been bestowed upon
either of the two. They simply come
within the category of the wonderful be-
cause of the immense number Of stalac-
titles Of various sizes and colors which
depend from their roofs. The first, the
one near Toquerville, is known as La
Virgin. and the other by the name of the
Black Warrior.
The Virgin was discovered few years
ago by the contractor Of an irrigating
company. who was engaged in driving a
tunnel through mountain called 'La
Virgin Bench for the purpose of tap
ping the river beyond. When the light
was first let into this wonderful under
ground chamber, the effect is said to
have been startling, the roof and floor
glittering with cubes and points of crys-
tai alum and the roof studded with mil
lions of rain colored stalactites.
The "Black Warrior" cave is a coun-
terpart of the Virgin and was discovered
by miners at point where their tunnel
was 365 feet beneath the surface =
