A "tenderfoot" who was trying his
luck on a western ranch was at first
Mortified by the. table etiquette which
prevailed among his associates.
One day his feelings evidently came
SO near the surface that cowboy
whose performances with a table knife
of unusual size had aroused the ten
derfoots amazement, paused with an
other knifeful of food half way to his
lips.

cowboy with disconcerting promptness,
ir the tone of one who means to be
answered.
''Ah-er-nothing hastily responded
the tenderfoot.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man OF
New York, explains some very interest.
ing facts about Majors Cement. .
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
So rs pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon, while large share of the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are rothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition Of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty cents bottle, and when
a dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only Object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is donbly true in
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr.. Majors ad-
vertising, which now amounts to over
$4,000 month throughout the country.

man-Amusing Gist of
Freak Bills.

Madison, Feb. 2G.-It is period of
legislative transition. The bills are
all introduced, the committeeman hav-
ing learned the names of each other
across the green baiZe tables, and the
new men no longer afraid to express
opinions, we may expect to see a
crowded daily calendar from now on.
But it is too late to effect a short
session. The number of new bills has
broken records On the last day for
their introduction about $50 bills were
introduced, 225 in the assembly and
125 in the upper house. Sessions as u
rule run about 100 days; it seems as If
this one must be longer.
There are a number of Madison di

Something For Nothing.

Some time ago there appeared in sew
eral Paris papers an advertisement of
an obscure fruit dealer, in which he Of
fered to give prize of francs for the
largest apple sent to him. Then fish
caught at the bait with marvellous re-
pidity, and in less than fortnight the
advertiser had received enough fruit to
stock his store for the season. Natu-
rally he was glad to pay 5 francs for
the largest of the lot. and just as natu-
rally he kept all the unsuccessful speci-
mems for sale from his shop. Besides,
the advertising resulted in large in
crease in his business.

Kenosha, Wis. Feb. 26.-Charles
Van Gasbeck, who died late Sunday
afternoon, had a strange presentiment
that he was going to die and Sunday
lie paid all his debts, bid his friends
goodbye and made arrangements for
his funeral. Van Gasbeck was a sa-

known all over the southern part of
the state. He was great friend Of
Edward Griffin, who slipped and fell
Saturday night sustaining injuries
from which he died early Sunday
morning.
Saturday night Van Gasbeck and
Griffin met each other and Van Gas
beck made remark that he had
dreamed that he would not live any
longer than Griffin did They laughed
over the remark and both agreed that
they would join each other in death.
The next morning Van Gasbeck was
told of Griffin's death. He was
stunned for moment and then he told
a friend, standing near, that he would
not survive the day as he had agreed
to join Griffin in death and that it was
fated that he would keep his agree
ment.
He called on an undertaken and ar
ranged for his funeral. He then went
home. He sat still for awhile and then
told his wife that it would not be
necessary to get supper for him as he
would not be alive to eat it. Mrs.
Van Gasbeck was frightened and went
to call a doctor, but when she returned
she found her husband dead Death
was caused, it is supposed, by heart
