THE PERSIAN HORSE.

an Animal That Is Very Fond OF Being
Petted.
Persian horses are to be admired and
liked. Their beauty is source of con-
slant enjoyment, and they are almost
invariably gentle and docile. II is in
vain to form any resolution against
making a pet of any one of them writes
Mrs. Bishop il Journeys in PERSIA
My new acquisition, Boy, insists On be-
ing petted, and his enticing ways are
irresistible. He is always tethered in
front of my tent with a rope long
enough to give him considerable liberty,
nnd he took advantage of it the very
first day to come into the tent and make
it apparent that he wanted me to divide
n lemon with him. Grapes were his pre-
ference; then came cucumbers, bread
and biscuits. Finally he drank milk
put Of a soup plate. He comes up to
me and puts down his head to have his
ears rubbed, and if I do not attend to
him at once, or if I cease attending to
him, he gives me e. gentle but admoni-
tory thump. ! dine outside the tent,
and he is tied to my chair and waits
with wonderful patience for the odds
and ends, only occasionally rubbing his
nose against my face to remind he is
there. A friendly shuttle is the only
sound he makes. He does not know
how to. fight, or that teeth and heels are
for any other uses than eating and
and walking. He isreally the gentlest
and most docile of his race. The point
at which he draws the line IS being led.
Then he draws back, and mulish
look comes into his sweet eyes. But
he follows like dog, and when 1 walk
he is always with me. He comes when
call him, stops when I do, accom-
panies me when leave the road in
search Of flowers, and usually puts his
head on my shoulder or under my arm.
To him am an embodiment of melons,
cucumbers, grapes, peaches, biscuits
and sugar, with a good deal of petting
and ear-ru bling thrown in.

WILLIAMS COUNTY.
"A Brief Description Of It's Great
Inducements to Settlers.

WILLIAMS COUNTY is the extreme
Dakota, with the Missouri River forming
its southern boundary, and it has a river
frontage of about $50 miles. The County
covers an area of nearly 4,5OO square
miles, and embraces about $4,000 QUO
acres of excellent farming and grazing
lands About one-half Of the County is
underlaid with superior quality of
Ignite Coal, which is found in stratas
varying from three feet to twenty feet
in thickness. There are also numerous
beds Of sulphur Of extra fine quality.
The soil is rich and durable, and by rea'
son of the peculiar formation of the sur
face of the country, irrigation is rendered
both practicable and cheap. Cereals of
all kinds and vegetables flourish here in
abundance, and always pay the producer
handsome margin for his labor.
As stock raising country Williams
County is equal to any other region in
the western states. Hay and shelter are
found in abundance along the Missouri
river and the small streams running
through the interior of the county.
Williams County offers the most adj
vantageous Inducements to settlers by
its famous stockraising ranges, and its
own cheap fuel in wood and Goa The
winters are mild, and all classes OF stock
Craze out on the ranges nearly the entire
season through, requiring but very little
extra feeding. All kinds of building
material and excellent clay for brick
making can be found in many localities
throughout the county.
Financ ially, Williams County is abso-
lutely out of debt, there being not a
dollar of bonded Indebtedness, nor any
outstanding warrants, AS shown BY the
official statement of the County Auditor
and Treasurer on July 1st, 1895.
WILLISION, the County Seat Of Will
Hams County, is beautifully located on
the Great Northern Railroad, with the
Missouri River washing it's southern
limits, and situated only twenty miles
from Fort Buford
Wiliiston has two hotels. six stores, two
saw mills, a frst-class blacksmith and
wagon shop, two meat markets, one
newspaper and job printing Office, four
restaurants, two dress-making shops, 3
carpenters shop, two brick yards, a bar
ber-shop, two churches, q school house,
court house and Jail, two billiard halls,
and four sample rooms. 1t is the freight
division of the Great Northern Railroad,
with its roundhouse and shops located
here. In fact, the volume of business
transacted here will compare favorably
with any town ofits size in the northwest.

An English clergyman, who was sud-
denly called on to preach to a congre-
cation of college students was unable
to speak without notes, and had only
one written sermon with him, which
was on the dates of the married state.
The topic was hardly one that he would
have chosen for the occasion, but he
hoped that. it would pass muster as be-
ing appropriate by anticipation. But,
unfortunately, he did not read the SER
mon over, and SO, before he knew it,
he had uttered this appeal: s.And, now.

TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT.

County Attorney Chatterton receiy-
ed a letter last night from a resident
of the Platte valley, who is laboring
under the misrepresentation That some
from Rawlins last fall. and the men in
charge of the shipment were at Grand
island, Neb. This was news to the
county attorney. as well as to everyone
else in this section. If a bunch of 200
head of cattle were stolen from the
Platte valley last fall it is peculiar that
the discovery was not made ere this.
