Peculiarities of February.

The month of February in a leap year
has some peculiarities of which not
many people are aware. This year, for
example, February has five Saturdays.
This has occurred just once in every
2s years for the last 124 years. Feb
ruary will have five Saturdays again in
1908, 12 years from now, be-
cause at the turn of the CEN
tury there comes break in the
rs year period, which is reduced to IL
years. Twenty-eight years later, in
1896 we will again have five Saturdays
in the month of February. This same
rule holds good for every day in the
week, each recurring five times in the
leap year month of February every %
years, with the exception of Monday
and Wednesday. During the last 200
years these two days have come fivei
times in February at ono interval of
l2 years, while the rest of the days
have been 40 years apart once during
the same period for 200 years.-St.

Hours for SleerA

watches day and night, with the in

their required sleep very irregu-
larly, but in moro than two

THE RUSTLERS' WAR.
Outgrowth of Trouble Between Cattle

Outgrowth of Trouble Between Cattle
Men and Agriculturists.
In Wyoming irrigation struggled for
some years with an obstacle moro for
midable than aridity. This was the Or
ganized stock interest which -four
ished on the public lands, wastefully
using the public streams to produce
crops of natural hay and to water great
herds of cattle. While many of the
leaders of this industry We're of liberal
and progressive mind, and freely con-
ceded that they had neither moral
nor legal right to stand in the way of
progress, an aggressive and trouble
some minority insisted that cattle were
worth more than men TO Wyoming.
The final conflict came in the Rus
tiers war" of 1892, with it's ignomini-
GUS and crushing defeat of the cattle
nien and their hired outlaws from Tex
as. With that fiasco the barriers of
opposition fell once and for all, and
the irrigation sentiment has since DOM
mated the state. Reclamation and set
tiement In Wyoming and similar locali-
ties elsewhere have never really
nenaced the stock industry, and have
rather vindicated the necessity of it's
reorganization upon more democrat
ic basis. There will be more cattle
in the aggregate, but distributed
among a multitude of small owners
living in the irrigated valleys. There
they will raise the diversified products
essential to their support. and great
crops of winter fodder for cattle,
while the adjacent uplands will serve
for summer pasture. This process has
begun, and it results in the elevation

A GLIMPSE or ROYALTY.
An American Who Was Not at All Ovel
awed by Mobiles.

An American Who Was Not at All Over
awed by Mobiles.
An American, after late breakfast
In Paris hotel, sauntered to the en-
trance and stood on the sidewalk in
front of the door enjoying his morning
cigar. A young woman attired In rid-
ing habit came out of the hotel ard
stood beside him for few minutes,
looking eagerly up and down the
and turned to other objects in the street
before him.
Soon groom brought two horses and
held them by the brides. The lady
glanced at her watch and then bowed
to gentleman, who drove up in a
barouche from the side street. He
jumped out of the carriage, dismissed
the driver and beckoned to the lady,
who joined him at the curbstone. After
q brief pause the lady was put on her
horse, and the gentleman mounted the
other horse. The groom dropped the
brides, and the two riders started for
their morning canter without an ut
tendant.
This scene was idly watched by the
American at the hotel door. The hotel
proprietor, who had stood behind hin,
in the doorway, remarked:
"Iou do not appear to know who
those people are"
"That is true" was the answer. II
have not the honor of their acquaint-
ance."
"The gentleman is the king of Por
tugal, who is now staying in Paris and
is soon to visit the royal family in Eng
land"
"Yes, gentlemanly-appearing man,
but I must say he mounted his horse
rather clumsily."
'"The lady was Spanish princess, the
Infanta Eulalia, who went out to Amer
ica not long ago"
The hotel proprietor, who considered
1t q great privilege to have royalty un-
der his roof, expected the disclosure
would create q marked impression upon
his American guest, but he was mis-
taken. The American betrayed neither
curiosity nor interest
"She rides WELL" he remarked, quiet
ly; "but I have seen English girls, and
American girls, too, who rode more
gracefully"
The Frenchman looked disturbed. His
royal patronage was not appreciated at
what he considered was it's full value.
"Are you not interested" heinquired,
'in the fact that you have seen king
and have smoked in the presence of G
princess?"
SWELL, no." said the American. "I
saw at Oxford the other day the son of
an Asiatic prince who interested me.
He wore blue tunic and green pair of
trousers; and carried two pink parasols,
and upon his neck was q gold locket
containing lock Of his mothers hair
and two of his fathers teeth cut into
idols. That was O prince who was
unique in this part of the world, and
who really excited my curiosity. / saw

inverted egg, deep at girth as well as
waist, allowing full use Of lungs with
out infringing upon other organs, back
