A Georgia Idyl.

On hill in Butts county is a com.
Portable house. Around the house
the growing cocks and caokling geese
mingle their voices with the pot
rack" of the guineas, while the low
ing COWS, coming homo at milking
time, attract the attention of the
laughing children who have been
listening to mamma singing "Rock
of Ages, Cleft For Me-" while the
sewing machine kept time to the
tune. The rattling chains from the
horses necks frighten the lazy hogs
from their bed as they approach a
lot in which there is corn and prov
ender to spare. That home is self
sustaining, and no mortgage has
ever known it's whereabouts. No
sheriff has ever crossed its thresh-
old. The faithful wife and manly
husband love to work and consider
it honorable. They are more con-
cerned as to the time to rob the
bees than when congress shall meet.
They know no sovereign save God
and please each other. Oh, happy,
oontented people! Yours is indeed a
happy home.-Jaokson GA Argus.

Street Car Etiquette For Women.


There is q law in most communi-
ties that requires street cars to stop
on the upper side of the crossing in
the direction they are going. Butno
woman is expected to respect this
consequently stand on the wrong
corner and signal the car to stop,
writes A. S. Fergus in Ladies Home
Journal. You may tempt the driver
to stop for you and run the risk of
the law. If it passes you, you can
glare at the conductor, who Of course
will stop for you on the other side
and beckon you to come over. Turn
on your heel and treat him with
scorn. Wait for the next car and
walk down the block O little and
stop it before it comes to the corner.
Always stop car in the middle of
the street, especially if it is in full
speed. Do not go to the crossings
where the cars are expected to stop
and are willing to do it. By stopping
them at different points of the road
you retard their progress and give
the driver chance to rest. just as
a car starts suddenly make up your
mind you want to get on it. The
driver will enjoy coming to a stand
still again. The conductor always
enjoys this.

PASSING OF THE COWBOY.
Like the Buffalo, the Knight of the Plains
Will Soon Be Extinct.


Will Soon Be Extinct.
| The cowboy, like the buffalo, is
fast becoming extinct. In the dawn
of the new century now approaching
he will be regarded as curiosity.
Ten years hence he will almost have
attained the dignity of tradition.
History, which embalms the man in
armor and exalts the pioneer, holds
place for him. The niche may, be a
modest one, but he has had his part
in conquering new country, and no
impartial record Of western evolu-
tion can omit his picturesque figure.
Before civilization devours his iden-
tity let us try to detain it a moment
in its real likeness and garb.
The supreme content with his con-
dition is an element of cowboy char
acter that colors all his actions. His
point of view is that of the man on
horseback. He represents the aris-
tocracy of the plains, and while some
persons who follow their vocations
on foot are even allowed under stress
of circumstances to become his en-
ployers it is only the sternest neces-
sity that makes him dismount. What
the ship is to the sailor, the pony is
to the COW punoher-a term which
his American levity prefers to cow.
boy or vaquero. One who sits in the
saddle for years becomes the an
tithesis of Anteus, who gained
strength by each contact with the
earth. The cowboy, in common with
the Spaniard and the Comanche In
dian, is at disadvantage when he
walks. Like Shelley's skylark, he is
a 'scorner of the ground. The per-
sonality of horse and rider is in
measure merged. The one without
the other is only part of the whole.
So the Texas anecdote is credible
enough. It relates that cowboy
looking for work was offered the
employment of digging well. "Can
I do it on horseback" was the query
and covert stipulation. Of equal
oredibility is Lieutenant Revere's
story anent the provincial governor
in California. This official was care
less enough to cross the street with
out the aid of his horse. Falling, he
broke his leg on some obstruction.
A Chicago man would have sued
somebody, but the governor discern
ed the real cause of the accident, ex-
claiming, "This is what comes of
walking on the ground.
When the natureo of certain work
on a cattle ranch compels him to the
earth, tho cowboy clings to his &C.
couterments. In country free from
alarms have seen him digging post
holes hampered by his heavy six
shooter and chaperajos. When put
at the humiliating task of planting
potatoes-which he afterward ate
with much relish-I have observed
that he removed neither his gun nor
his huge spurs.
The cowboys attitude toward his
from the east has gener,
ally been one of amiable liberation.
He recognizes them as a necessary
adjunct to the business-a source of
supply of bronchos to "bust'' and
COWS to punch. The owners do
lot suffer in consequence. Under the
