The old cowboy was the companion Of
his boss and shared his pleasures and
his hardships.
No manager in this big headqaarter
rockhouse reminded him of his inferior
rank in society, nor did any of the mod
crn ranch accessories mar the common
dangers, the pleasures and the freedom
and equality of the whilom cowboy and
cowman. But the ranch in the oldep
time was cottonwood loghouse 70

from the weather the slicker was used
and mother earth supplied their beds.
The broad range and the overhanging
sky answered for house and home. A
roundup in lS67-S0 was not bounded
by wire fences, but the boys gallopedout
of camp after breakfast, made wide
sweep. and all then drove toward
common center. and lol directly at that
point was gathered herd of stock cat

would say Thank you and such like.
His intense politeness and high toned
nonsense aggravated the boys nightly.

Well, one morning in 1869, at Noun

any one lived in that section. Jim got
awfully mad and gave the city Fellow
cussing. whereupon a row resulted and

and then. We got the city fellow to ride
off. and it looked like peace had return

flash the city chap ran before Jim,
dismounted. leveled his gun on him and
demanded an apology or death.
Jim jerked out two six shooters, but
said nothing. and instantly the city
fellow fired. Poor Jim rolled off his
horse a dead man. got to them Just

through the heart. His slayer mounted
his horse and lit out. We buried
Jim and went ON with our herd, two

WILL HE WRITE?

SPECULATION HAS IT THAT CLEVELAND
 WILL INDoRsE HILLS CANVASS.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Talk of possible letter from President Cleveland was unex- pectedly revived this morning when it be- came known at state headq uarters that the leader in the Wheeler movement had said that he expected that MT. Cleveland would yet come out for MT. Hill. Word to a sim- liar effect was also received from other sources, including an official from state headquarters.
 One gentleman who is known as an ar- dent ministration man intimated that MT. Cleveland would not write any direct letter bearing directly on the state issue, but that he might declare himself in a Hon. William Harrity on the congressional situation throughout the United States, in which he would make special allusion to the fight in this state. This same author ity said that Mir. Cleveland did write a let ter on the congressional situation. Taking his action in the past as a criterion, 1t would not appear before the last few days of the campaign It was recalled that in 1885 Mir. Cleveland did not come to the front until the last moment.
 Some think from Senator Hills supreme indifference in the matter that he had re- ceived some hint as to the course MT. Cleve- land will pursue.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the worlds best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs.
 Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of perfect lax ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and levers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.
 Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man. ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

 He praised men with backbone and told how he loved to see them stand up for the right. According to his argument there are hundreds of men lost because they could not say ssno'' at the proper time. He wanted every person in the wigwam to confess Christ then and there, and gave them a chance by asking all who would confess Him to stand up. When this an- nouncement and request was made fully 4000 people arose from their seats. The in- vitatlon was repeated aud at least 800 more stood up. He thanked God for that ex- pression and led the congregation in Q short prayer.
 He then asked all who wished to be prayed for to repair to Seals hall, where he would meet them immediately after the pronunciation of the benediction. At Sepls' hall large number gathered and the work resulted in great good.
