WRECKING A COWBOY.
How a TenderfoOt with a Six Hat
Did Him Up in Little
Gun Play.

"There is at least one cowboy in Arl-
zona whose head is three sizes smaller
than it was a month ago." said the Chi
cago drummer, as he brushed the alkaii
dust off his coat collar. "At Tombstone
l fell in with young man from New
Haven who was prowling over the
country in search of good thing, but
not caring much whether he found it or
not, One afternoon he stood with his
back to the street, reading the posters
on a. billboard. He had on a silk hat,
and presently a cowboy emerged from
store on the opposite side OF the square.
One glance at that hat brought out
gun, and there was pop! pop! pop! TIL
six bullets had been fired. The tender
foot never turned, nor let on that he
heard the shooting. In ten seconds the
gun was reloaded, and there was an
other fusillade. There were hundred
people looking on and shouting and
laughing, but the tenderfoot kept his
back to the street until the twelfth shot
had been fired. Then he calmly turned
about, removed his hat and placed it on
the ground, and stepping back pace
or two, he drew his gun and shot it to
pieces. The remains were yet smoking
when he picked them up crossed the
square, and holding the handful of old
hat out to the cowboy, he humbly said:
"If you have couple of months to
spare | might be willing to teach you
how to handle gunl'
"But hadn't the cowboys bullets hit
the hat?" was asked.
"Every blessed one of them" replied
the drummer, "but no one knew it eX-
cept the tenderfoot, and he destroyed
all evidence by his own shooting. The
crowd took it that the cowboy had
missed and raised a laugh on him, and
when he straddled his cayuse and loPed
down the street, he looked as homesick
as dog thousand miles from home.

Orange omelet is made like other
omelets, pinch of sugar being added
to the eggs, with pepper omitted in the
seasoning. The oranges for the ON
elet are peeled, and pulled apart in their
natural sections, each of which is then
cut into halves. They are sweetened,
and. if too much juice is pressed out.
it is poured off before they are folded
in the omelet. They should be pre-
pared, of course, before the omelet is
begun, and may stand until needed in
the plate-warmer of the range, in order
to become slightly heated. The method
of cooking-teachers to peel an orange
is to pare it like an apple, and to remoxe
the inner as well as the outer skin.
Then with the orange still whole, and
with -sharp-pointed knife. the pulp
of each section may be slipped out
without breaking, and as q 'llly as
the orange could be cut up in the or
dinary way. The knife is slipped un-
der the skin at one side of the section.

piece drops out. In this way the seeds

method of preparation is especially

ing the crumbs from polished tables are
to be found now in the shops. They

A date cake that is much liked by
children has the fruit in the layer mix

baked in layers, each of which should
be about three-guarters of an inch

from three layers piled together, is

Mr. Dan Gallagher paid the city
of West Texarkana $40 for selling
ghiskey on Sunday September 20.
This shows that there is money in
selling whiskey, even if the license
are top-heavy. While on the sub
iect, we wonder why the aldermen
on the west side don't put up the
whiskey license in order to get
money to keep the streets and
bridges in better repair. The city
tax on this side is one thousand dol
lars, and we have four or FIVE sa-
looms over here willing to pay this,
besides a heavy state tax. We
learn from one of the aldermen,
that the street fund had 81 80 to
its credit the last time the money
was counted (this in CASH and we
think that high license should pre-.
pair over there for time at least,
until the city gets its feet, at least.

Conditions have changed things
greatly. is one reason lumber has
climbed up so high in price. Some
fifteen or twenty years ago, the
logs could be purchased from the
land owners for almost nothing, be-
sides there were many acres OF
school lands in Texas that could be
purchased at small price on a
long credit with a payment down OF
8 cents an acre. Many men bought
this land, paying the 3 cents, and
after cutting the timber from il,
let it revert back to the state, then
in cur own state, the United States
timbered land was encroached mp
on and the timber cut off, which diC
not cost a cent to the men who ran
the risk of getting caught only.
Now it is different. The mill men
are compelled to pay good hgures
for all the saw logs they get and
are at big expenses in building rail
roads through the pinery they Owl
to haul the logs to the mill they op,
crate. There are other condition,
that sandwich with these, which l.
not necessary to state, and we only
give the above to show that the
mill men have not put up prices for
the purpose of plundering their
customers, but from pure protec,

ON LAND AND SEA.

The naval parade in honor of Ad-
miral Dewey on Friday put into line
the cruisers Olympia, New York,
Brooklyn and Chicago; the battle
ships Indiana, Massachusetts,, and
Texas, and a score of gun-boats,
torpedo boats and thousand steam
ers aud yachts. Of the warships
there we're representatives of the
squadrons that participated in the
victories of Manila bay and Santi-
ago and of every naval engagement
of the Spanish war. Two of the
battleships that were at Santiago
are now in the Pacific, the Iowa at
San Francisco and the Oregon at
Manila. Some of the cruisers and
many of the gunboats which were
then in the Atlantic squadron are
now in the Pacific, but the navy did
its full part in welcoming Dewey,
and the vessels of peace never be-
fore made such demonstration in
honor of any man.
In the land parade yesterday the
navy, the army, the National guard,
the Federal government, the state
governments, the municipalities,
and the ex-solders of the civil war
aud the Spanish war all joined in a
welcome to Dewey. The two de-
monstrations, witnessed as they
were by a m lion people, expressed
to Admiral Dewey, in so far as cere-
monials aud formalities could, the
good will, affection, and enthusiasm
of the American people,
The demonstration means as
much to the world at large as it
does to the hero of Manila bay, 1t
means that the American people
appreciate deeds like those that
made the name of Nelson an inspl-
ration to all other naval peoples,
aud that they appreciate not only
the victory of Manila itself but the
Importance of the results that fol-
lowed. There is absolutely no dis
cordaut note in the welcome to
Dewey. The corporaPs guard OF
Americans out of sympathy with
the great work accomplished by
Dewey have been shamed into 81
lence. The world knows that the
United States stands as one man in
support of the naval officer who
conquered an empire" The de-
monstration In New York on Fri
day and Saturday was more than a
welcome to Dewey. It was a proc
lamation to the world of Americas
spirit Of determination and of the
pride of our people in the new navy
and its achievements Chicago
