The young folks Of Wyoming will
in short time give an entertain
ment for the benefit of church and
school. The sons and daughters of
the farming class are just as capa-
Bile of culture in the fields of the
mind and heart as their more for
tunate city cousins. The ,;lacF of
culture among them is due to a
number of causes, the principal
cause being lack of effort along
these lines. En- passant, we may
mention that now is the time t.
organize a literary society of old
and yurAs alike. Societies ntsan-
lied for the mutual improvement
of its members are as much an in
tluence for good in community as
Sunday schools and churches.
A little western woman once s6t
an example for temperance people
of which the writer was an eye
witness. Whether or not her eX-
ample could be wisely followed by
the more timid members of her sex
is a matter of speculation.
Her husband was a manly fellow
and she was as delightful in her
manners as women usually get. She
was tactful and courteous and of
course had lots of friends. She
loved her home and loved her hus-
band. He, however, while he loved
his wife. liked to mix with the boys
at certain periods of time. He be-
lieved Ito appreciate heaven well
it was good for man to have a
few short hours of helr' occasion
ally. He was such a straight-for-
ward, manly fellow that his friends
disliked to see him imbibe too
freely on account Of the sorrow he
caused his sweet wife.
One day a lot of COW boys were
in the principal saloon of the town
having a wild time of it. They had
young lad dancing in the middle
of the room scared almost lifeless.
Bullets whistled round his feet
when he failed to step highly
enough and the husband of our
heroine was in the crowd drinking
and enjoying the sport. Heavy
pistols were being fired amid volleSs
of oaths and boisterous laughter
and shuffling of feet when all al
once hush like the stiffness oi
death fell on that noisy crowd
Every face was turned to the front
door through which fearlessly and
gracefully walked IA little woman
right into the midst of the throng
Every eye was turned on her In ad
miration and respect as she laid
soft hand lightly on her husbands
arm and gently invited him home
Without a word or gesture he Wen
with that sweet parcel of tender
ness and for many days the saloor
saw him no more.
She is a horrid toothless hag,
She is all the time talkln',
Sure should her tongue refuse to wal
Her face would 60 to walkin'.
The above specimen of spontan
eous combustion was inspired by
the latest effort of South Side oI
the general cussedness of long
tongued woman. Glvemfits, oil
man, and when the girls find ou
that you are not looking for a de
licious bit of tongue-twisting scan
dal from their rosy lips you will
perhaps inaugurate new principl
, in their education. You may ge
them to speak of each other i
! fairly good English when thei
names are mentioned in terms O
praise.
40 woman in our hours Of ease
r Uncertain, coy and hard to please
, With a tongue as long as a fiddler
lease,
On that route as smooth as axle greas
= 10 the fiddler's place of rest;
When at your neighbors' rep you G
Don't rush too fast nor yet too SLOW
Rut hint and squint and squirm, yo
And say that you have been told SO
