Christianity stands for sympathy.
honesty, sincerity, purity and love.
The world is fairly crowded with
men and women eager for all that
christianity and the church stands
for. When the church has been
made attractive in these things,
men will turn to it as the hungry
toward feast or the thirsty to-
ward cooling spring.

who has been on three months for
Tough, and is now happily married
to one OF Wyoming's most estimoble
young ladies, arrived at the Post,
Saturday, ACCOMPANIED by his wife
to receive his discharge. He is in

stock rancho near Spearfsh, and is

Drovers Telegram: Texas people
say the supply of fed Texans the
coming season will be small, and now
comes the alarming statement that
few cattle will be marketed from Old
Mexico. With Texas out of the way
and Morton s ''beefers" from Chi
huahua exhausted, local feeders
should feel encouraged, particularly
over the Mexico report.
Custer County Journal: Mr.. F.
G. Borden, of Holden, Missouri, has
spent most of the past week in
Cuater. He is national organizer
for the Order Of United American
Mechanic one of the best secret and
civic socities now extant. It is
purely an American institution and

NOTWITHSTANDING the number OF
wolf and coyote scalps that have
been punched during the past year,
says the Stock Growers Journal, still
these pests seem to be very numerous
and unusually hungry and ravenous.
There cannot be any suspension of
the effort to eterminate these
animals or it will not Je very long
time until they are as thick as ever
