Cuuntersicn on the Frontier.

Web : Iflder recites in his Annals Of
Kansas that IL 1851, when he first tide
of New England settlers began to drift
iiitherward, the Missouriaus tied COW
to each crossing of the Missouri river.
When an immigrant arrived at the
crossing he was certain to make some
remark about the animal, and II he
said "cow" he was suffered to cross. but
If he said "keow" he was hustled back
east and out Of the country as bloody
minded abolitionist. In retaliation for
this it is said the Kansas fellows TIED
a bear on their side OF the river. and
when an immigrant crossed who called
it "bear" he was welcomed with open
arms, but the fellow who called il 'bar"
was scooted back into Missouri as an un-
welcome slavery advocate.

Nfain0 Forests.

The forests of Maine are said to grow
about as fast as the lumbermen can
cut them down, and that the state is
still supplied with an abundance of
wild game is shown by the statement
of an eastern paper that $4,000 outsid-
ers have gone to Maine 20 hunt since
September Is last, and of these 800
have succeeded in getting caribou, 1000
have killed moose and about $4,000
have gone home with one or more deer
each In addition to the above about
100 bears. $50 bobcats and loop-cerv-
fers ard an unaccountable number OF
ruffed grouse and hares nave been
slain. 1t is little wonder that the game
wardeus of Maine are asking for more
stringent laws.

The bodies of my two hunters we're

Pawnee Fork, about five miles north
of the block house, where they had
been murdered aud scalped the day

ATTRACTIONS OF CoURTSHIP.
4 Man Ii Never So Interesting ~ When
He's C0urtlng.


There was g. cynical fellow in the
middle ages who, under the sarcastic
Htle, The Fifteen Joys of Marriage"
wrote an elaborate description OF Is
woes, which we're likely, or { and all, TO
distress the foolish man who had
slipped like fish into the great net
OF rnatrimony, says Lippincott's. 1t
is aot probable, ilo,vcver, that his hit
tte treatise turned y single man from
the error of his way. How should u
have, when the great weight ana au-
thor,ty OF MIR, Punch have not been
able in these days to make any ap-
preciable difference in the issue OF mar
rage licenses? Yet the genial philos-
opher's advice, which is an everlast-
ing shame to Mrs. Judy, was perfectly
decided. The truth is, men viii not
take advice which they do not want,
no matter who offers it. They know
that all the world loves them when
they are lovers, and so the vain crea-
lures will go a-wooing. All the pretty
business of kneeling and signing Is
becoming; when a man is courting he
is more interesting than he has ever
been or ever will be again. Whether
it be Jockey who dons his Sunday coat
to prop7tiate his goddess OF the hay
field, or the fine gentleman who swears
at his valet for a speck OF dust when
dressing for certain important inter-
view, he is worthy Of notice; and even
the frog, when he will a-wooing go,
becomes a hero At for poetry. The
uneasy period of courtship tries the
souls of men and shows what stuff they
are made of, and therefore the manners
of men Of the fifteenth century when
marrying or trying to marry indicate
very fairly the refinement of sociey at
| that time.

An Artists Story.

A celebrated artist tells a story OF
how, when he was playing with pencil
and paper. he suddenly began to draw
a portrait of face that he seemed to
remember. But he never discovered the
original until when. on a visit to coun-
try house. he discovered the face among
the portraits of the ancestors of the
family. On inquiry. he found that his
grandfather had once been engaged to
be married to the girl, but had been
obliged to give her up on the pressure
of her relatives.
