Summoning all the strength Of her

urged her pony to pursue him The beast
frequently looked back and snarled
threateningly. but he failed to find cour-
age enough TO offer battle. Suddenly II
occurred to the girl that there was no
reason why she could not choke the hon
TO death. An attempt was worth making,
for this one monster was capable OF de-
stroying hundred young calves ana

Suiting her actions 10 her thoughts. she
swung her lariat over her head, and as
the trained pony sprang forward at MS
greatest speed. she sent the rope Missing

neck The pony instantly braced himseil
on his launches. digging his forefeet In
the ground. and the Hon turned somer-
sault. striking the earth with MS head
toward his pursuers The girl hoped she
had broken the beasts neck, but he was
only badly stunned, and the pain that ne
suffered seemed to increase his rage ana
courage. Crouching and emitting a roar
he sprang into the air with all MS
strength, expecting TO land on the pony s
neck and tear his pursuers 10 fragments.
The agile little horse turned just in time
to feel the claws OF the lion grazing his
launches.

DO WOMEN READ

AdvertisementsP-A Scene at Bar
gain Sale Indicates That They Do.
A scene was enacted on the second
floor of Stone & Thomas big depart
ment store which to those having never
witnessed a bargain sale would be a
revelation. The firm has begun a
series of sales, the first of which &C.
CURED Wednesday, and each day until
further notice. certain departments
will be called upon to furnish n "spe-
cIal." The morning papers contained
the first intlmation of this in Stone &
Thomas advertisement, and as a
Header" one hundred chintZ wrappers
were offered at 10 cents each. Owing
to there being but one hundred OF them
It was advertised that fifty would be
sold at s o'clock in the morning and
the remainder at 2 p. m, and only one
to each customer.
To those who have no faith In adj
vertlsing, who believe advertisements
are not read. the result would have
demonstrated their mistake In n mo-
ment Nearly an hour prior to the
advertised time for the sale to begin,
women began to flock the aisles, and
by the time 8 o'clock had arrived there
were three times as many there as there
were wrap ers to go around. In the
afternoon 1t was worse. BY this tlmo
those who had been fortunate enough
In the morning to secure them told
their friends and relatives; then others
had read the advertisements in the
morning papers, and by 2 o'clock the
second floor where the ladies' ready
made garments are kept, was crowded.
when the sale began there was a
general rush for the salespeoplc having
the wrappers In charge. Have you
ever seen Il desperate centre rush In

Association with the wise and energetic

resolves and eleYates the aims, was n
thought culled from Mr. Nesbitt's ora
ton.
The valedictory.
The last number was an Uratlon-
valedlctory, entitled "The Influence of
the Past" by Louis Robert Killmeyer.
He discussed the evolution in forms of
government. The students of the past
were the teachers of the future. Past
generations have contributed the ele-
nent which dominated the spirit Of the
American constitution. In the past the
philosophers were planning for the fu,
ture. So, Mr.. Killmeyer, said, the people
of to-day should not rest on their oars,
for dynasties decay and die IL there is
not constant action to produce better
conditions.
The valedlctory was couched in touch
ing language. and 1t breathed the love
LlnsIy boy feels for the old school.
The parting brought regrets to the
class. Mr. Killmeyer said, and he gave
appropriate expressions Of farewell to
the faculty and the students and his
class. He referred feelingly to the
death during the year of Harold Han
cher. Mr.. Kllllmeyer urged the students
to be true to the Linsly gray, some of
whom fought at Santiago and Manila
and were always ready to fight for the
old flag. The members OF the class stood

yates gave up their arms and accoutre-
ments to their successors.

tlngham prevented his attendance at

ing for any of the offices.
President A. ]. Clarke, OF the board of
trustees, presented the diplomas, taking
occasion to compliment the class on its
efficiency and the fine character OF its
work The graduates had well won the
honors the trustees were so pleased to
bestow. he said. and the audience
agreed in the compliments expressed.
on the march back to the school the
graduates walked in front, carrying
their diplomas and the flowers given
them by admirers.

Shattered Illusions.

This age of personalities is the means
Of spelling many Illusions, says Bea-
con. One listens to musician and
finds the music heavenly, and then he
remembers bits Of gossip and talk that
are very unpleasant, and 1t does de-
tract little from ones enjoyment, for
the personal does come into ones re-
lations of all kinds. The same thing Is
true Of prominent persons In other
walks of life. Ideals rarely bear con-
tact with realities without becoming
somewhat damaged, and the tendency
to idealize musicians, authors, painters
and such folk is very strong, for they
appeal most strongly to those persons
who have Imagination and ideality
above low level. 1t Is mistake to
tell the public about the personality
and life of it's idols unless they are
more than human in their characteris-
tics. The fact that the public is curl
Gus does not alter the case. The love
of talking about people is almost as
universal as the instinct Of self-preser.

"Why, what on earth can you want

The early history of the wedding
ring is not easy to trace, as it was apt
to be Confused with the betrothal ring.
This was once the more Important OF
the two, for in the days of our forefa-
theirs the betrothal was the great cere-
mony and marriage only the ratifica-
ton of the contract Then spouse
was betrothed person. and to espouse
was to be betrothed. The ceremony
of espousal or betrothal was celebrat-
ed with all possible solemnity as the
contract Of future eternal bond Of
love-" No doubt the reason for thus
s0lemnizing an engagement was that
in times of violence and lawlessness
the church thought it needful to pro-
tect the woman and therefore made
the betrothal so sacred that violation
OF the contract was punished with ex-
communication. A betrothal service
was used, which still forms part OF the
French and Italian ritual. and. indeed.
the first part of the Anglican mar
riage rite down to the woman's Il
will' Is simply the old betrothal serv-

The Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers are considering Denver Col.
as the location for the proposed bone
to be built for disabled and superannu-

The great works of the Cambria Steel
Company at Johnstown, Pa, are to be

OF the proposed Improvements has been

Nearly 1900 carloads of coke Is
now sent out weekly from the Con-
nellsville (Pa) field, and when the new
klondike field in the same region is put
In operation, the output will be in
creased nearly 20 per cent.
The new scale of the locomotive en-
glneers on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, as recently adjusted, gives the
men 81 per day of twelve hours. The
settlement is very satisfactory to the
engineers, although many wanted the

After a strike of three months the up

~ per cent. and working week of "a

With the rise in the tide of employ
ment and wages In this country has
come marked increase in immigration

Forest Reserve Grazing.

Clifford Pinchot, forester Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, and F.. v.
Coville, botanist of the same depart
ment, have left Washington for the
West to make personal investigation
of the problem of grazing in the forest
reserves. The restriction of sheep graz
ing in these areas has raised a storm
of protest from wool growers, and pub
lie feeling in the West has become
divided and intense. A plan for an
exhaustive investigation by the gov
ernment was published a few weeks
ago, but the tour of these officials will
be the first actual work in the field.
They will be met at Holbrook, Ariz,
by a committee, consisting of A. E.
Potter of that city, who is secretary
Of the Arizona Wool Growers Associa-
ton, and j. e. Bark of Phoenix, who
represents the cattle and irrigation in
tereStS. They will spend three weeks
in the Black Mesa reserve, and then
visit others in Arizona. The examina-
ton will be extended to other western
reserves later in the summer.
= The Lewis and Clark forest reserve
in Montana has been selected as the
second to be examined by the division
of forestry, with the view of prepar-
ing forest working plan O. w. Price
an official of the division, will or
ganize the work about June L. and will
be Joined later by a number of as
sistants. The stand and rate of growth
of the timber will be determined, and
a system Of numbering will be devised
which will meet the demand for lum-
Der without impairing the value of the
forest.
This reserve contains 2,926,000 acres.
1t is chiefly in a broken and little
known region, but has valuable forests,
and the timber is locally in demand.
Lodgepole pine, laroh, red fir and white
pine are the principal trees. Much
damage is done by fires, and their pre-
vention will form an important part of
the system to be applied.
Similar work is now in progress in
the Black Hills reserve in South Da-
kota. Other reserves will be taken up
about July 1.-[Stockman.
