BEHIND THE SCENES.
How Governor and State Treasurer Came
to Understand Each Other.

There is a good story Of an amusing
scene at a certain state capitol the
other day, when the governor called the
state treasurer into his office and de-
mRndsd his resignation.
81 was just coming in to demand the
same thing Of you," replied the treas
ureE.
The governor looked surprised and
hurt.
20, you needn't look go pious about
it," said the treasurer. "Just cslw
yourself, and I may give you some good
advice before I got through"
The governor recovered sufficiently to
say: "Whst I want you to know is that
this administration can't stand the scan
dsls your misbehsvior is creating. l
talked with you the other day about the
Sunday drunk, and since then that
other story about your scrspe with the
girl has been published and certified to
by no less parsonage than ex-Lieutensnt
Governor Felt. had persuaded him to
keep it quiet, and thought he had for
gotten 1t. Now there will be no end TO
this business unless you resign, and"
saw, you make my head RChe," said
the treasurer. 'I'Vs got something
more serious than that to talk about.
What would you think if you knew tina {
some Of our own party were going to
have you arrested for Incorporating
state fu1dsP Wouldn't that be very en-
bRrassingp
"Wsll," and the governors eyes be-
gan to protruds like two incandescent
electric lamps.
"Well," echoed the other, "I'm-just
giving you forecast of what is actually
going to happen, unless you can avoid it
by taking sneak out Of this Office. What
are going to do about it?"
[ c"But," }" said the governor, as he fdgeted
about in his seat, shat little matter
about the false vouchers, involving few
dollars, is nothing compared with the
crime with which you are charged"
SAINT it, thought Mind you that your
transactions, Of which l have only men
toned one, are matters Of public record.
It will be q good deal easier to get the
evidence of your croOkedness from the
auditors and my Office than it would to
convict me Of transporting a jag about
the streets, or taking liberties with fool
girl, sesP"
Realizing that he was getting the best
Of the controversy, the treasurer contin-
usd: "NoW, my dear governor, think |
this matter over carefully and let me
know your conclusion as early as posi-
bls-sw-by the way, wouldn't it be a |
good plan for you to 60 see the alto rney
general about it?"
20, hang the attorney general" |
grosned the governor, taking bis finger
from his mouth as the treasurer arose to |
90. "His advice amt worth q conti-
mental; and more than that, he's as deep |
In trouble as any Of as, only the public |
don't know 30 much about 1t, l de.
manded his resignation this morning"
"WhRt did he ssyH" asked the treas
urer, with his hand on the door knob.
HE told me l was after the wrong |
man, and I'd better see you frst."

MEmENTos OF SHAKESPEARE,

jug and Cane Which Once Belo nged to
the Avon Bard.
So lamentably few and far between
are the authentic relics of Shakespeare,
says London journal, that considera-
BILE interest will be aroused in the
minds of all English speaking people
by the recent sale at Christie's Of two
apparently genuine mementos OF the
poets of all time. One is described as
"Shakespeare's jug" 1t is Of cream
colored earthenware, nine inches high
and sixteen inches round the largest
part, and is somewhat in the shape of
modern coffee pot. 1t is divided
longitudinally into eight cornpart-
ments, each horizontally subdivided;
and within these subdivisions the prin-
cipal deities of the heather mythology
are represented in rather bold relief.
1t is stated that at the beginning of
the present century silver top and
edging were added, with small medal
lion of the poet, inscribed "WiIliana
Shakespeare at the age of forty" Ac-
companying the jug is a Malacca cane
in beautiful preservation, four feet
seven and a half inches in length.
These two articles, it is declared, were
bequeathed by the poet to his sister
Joan, who married Mr.. Hart; and the
relics remain ed in possession of the
family until the first years of the nine
teenth cen fury. No doubt an accurate
~ verified pedigree exists Of tse
changes of hands, if any, which these
objects have undergone since they have
passed out of the keeping of the Hart
family or their descendants. The bid
ding for the two articles started at thu
small sum OF Ave guineas, and the bids
gradually advan ced to one hundred
and ffty-fve gum cas-, at which GER
tainly not inflated price the jug and
the Malaeca cane were knocked down.
assuming the trustTorthiness OF thu
pedigree, the production of which
would be absolutely Indispensable. It
would be difficult to maintain that III,
jug and the stick did not belong to TIE
Swan of Avon; and there is, besides. a
tolerably strong body of extraneous
eYidenee which might be quoted Ia
prove that the jug. at all events, Is
authentic.

a WOMAN COWBOY.
El1e Is Only Eighteen Years Old, But Has
Full Charge OF the Cattle.

EI1e Is Only Eighteen Years Old, But Has
Full Charge OF the Cattle.
4 Chamberlain IS. d. correspondent
OF the St. Paul Pioneer Press tells
about an interesting and picturesque
character in that neighborhood West
of here, in the ceded Sioux lands, is a
female cowboy, he writes. Her name
is Gertrude Petan, eighteen years of
age, and she formerly lived with her
parents near Kimball, this county.
Upon her parents moving to the ceded
lands she accompanied them, and has
since remained at their new home on
Bull creek, Pratt county. Her father
Invested in about three hundred head
of cattle. As her only grown brother
works on an adjoining ranch, the duty
devolves upon her to take care of the
cattle owned by her father. She does
not simply take the cattle to the range
and leave them there, but remains with
them all day, and takes care of them
as well as could any cowboy. Her du-
ties frequently take her from thirty
to forty miles from home, as the cattle
must be kept moving in order to feed
well all day. Frequently some of the
cattle become mired in the mud along
the streams where they Craze. And
then comes the hardest part of her
work. She must rescue the cattle from
their perilous positions. This she does
in the true cowboy fashion, by fasten-
ing lariat to the horns of the mireG
cattle, with the other end of the rope
fastened securely to the horn of her
saddle. Then strong, steady pull by
her pony draws the imprisoned cattle
to place of safety on dry ground. The
young lady has been named ''The Lady
Cowboy by the cowboys in that sec
ton. She wears q -bri,nmed,
white felt hat and long gauntlet gloves,
carries lariat coiled about the horn
of her saddle, is provided with brand
ing irons, and rides the widest broncho
on the range. She has full charge of
the cattle on her fathers ranch.
