THE HOME.
1t Should BE CHEEKY and Refined and
Placed Amid the Most Pleasant
Surroundings.

1t should$be the aim of every farmer
to provide himself and family with
comfortable surroundings. The home
should be bright, CHEEKY and refined.
1t should be in fact the brightest spot
on the whole farm. 1t should be the
place where the father, after the
evening meal, may take his paper and
the mother, after the little tots are
tucked in bed, her work, and sit down
and enjoy their h~ard-earned rest, or
talk over the events of the day. Make
it an oasis in the children's lives. Give
them every opportunity possible for
an education. Furnish a family IL
brary well stocked with the best of
literature and if the child is of a class
ical turn of mind, he or she will soon
acquire a knowledge of all branches
of study. After making the home in
viting and entertaining on the inside
we should give our attention to the
outside surroundings. We should
build good fences, have nice grassy
lawns and pastures free from weeds.
The cattle should be sleek, the swine
fat, and the horses plump. There
should be driveways between the rows
of trees, and walks laid to every out
house. If possible to construct it. a
large fshpond, with a rustic summer
and boathouse near it would be a de-
light to the children and ali incentive
to their doing their share in making
the home happy. One of the chief
causes of the boys leaving the farm is
the d~isorderly homes and surround
ings frequently found on the farms.
We should strive in every way to make
our neighbors enjoy life. Organize
libraries and form literary societies,
In fact. do anything that will relieve
farm life of its dull monotony, and
when we have done all that lies in our
power we shall feel that we have
fought a good tight-M. II. Mertins, in

TWO FATAL FADS
BY MISS JESSIE LLEwELLYN.
Daughter of Ex-Governor L1ewe11yn, of Kansas.

Two presentday fads, one of literature and another BELONGING
to the artistic world, are being appropriated, or msappropriated, BY
the growing class of Failures" who vaguely espouse "Art.n
The Rubayat Of Omar Khayyam, Though old to literateurs. is
of little knowledge-proverbian dangerous-is Mr.. Densow's pic
ture, entitled Whats the Use? !" which represents a deaths head
resting upon a book, and crowned with laurel.
Both Mr.. Fitzgerald's translation of the Rubaivat and Mr. Dens-
lows picture were undoubtedly intended for thinking men and women
who are not to be unsettled and overbaanced by a large idea. But
SO completely have the sentiments of this book an. this drawing been
monopoized by pseudo pessimiss, industrial dereicts and selfstvled
"Boheniens" that conservative people have almost ceased to quote
and admire.
1t has become the fashion for notable suicides to affect Omar
khayyani-tor there are fashions and modes of suicide as PREVAILING
as those OF dress. Jumping from high buildings and from the decks
OF steamers are obsolete methods, superseded by five grains of NOR
phlne and a pocket edition of the Rubayat.
"A book OF verses underneath the Dough, a lug of wine. etc /"
never helped to buy the necessities or to get a lob for a man. A
recent suicide found dead in Lincoln park, Chicago, with these verses
IN his pocket as an excuse for his act, is only another proof that
Fitzgerads Rubayat is poetry, AND LIFE ISN'T ALL POETRY.

TENTS SHOULD STICK TO PROSE, u, if thev must inhibe

OF Emerson's Essay on Self Reliance, as an antdote.

the cry OF defeat from the unstable and the indolent, who are content
to assert themselves "unappreciated geniuses," without working ia

who habtrany sit around small tables in darkened cafes and "expand"
over tall stems while their work goes undone. The "What's the Use"
stage of the Good Fellow" before he settles down for life as = CON
frmed "Sponger." IN WON IT is ABSOLUTELY FATAL.
The mentally lazy find great solace in it, and to the AIieht-Eave-
Beens it is the Balm OF Ghead. Invariably it precedes failure.

KILLED BY VICIOUS HORSE
Broken Bow Man Kicked from Buggy
and Breaks His Neck in
Falling.

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Nov. 3O.-(special
Telegram Pink Brown, a we'll known
horseman, was killed today by a vicious
horse. Brown has been in the employ of
Tom Finlen in his feeding and breeding
barn here the past year. He took a VIC
ious horse to break about three months ago
that belonged to Lierney Bros. He had
driven the horse for two hours making de-
liveries for the meat market and started
home from Lierney's house, accompanied by
c.. L. Lierney and his nephew, Harry. The
horse had only gone a few rods from the
house when it began kicking. Lierney got
off the rig and pulled Harry of with i'm.
They had only struck the ground when the
horse kicked Brown in the breast and
knocked him to the ground. In falling
Brown broke his neck and died instantly.
The unfortunate man was about so years Of
age and single. He has no relatives here,
but has a brother in Winston, N. c., who
has been notified.

LONDON, Nov. 9O.-The situation on the
Stock exchange last week closed better
than 1t began, which is saying very little.
Business was almost at a standstili in the
early part of the week, owing to fears of
gold exports to South America, advanced
bank rate and serious trouble on settling
day. All these came to .naught though
there is still an expectation that at least

ket about the end of the year. The gem
eral trade outlook is fairly good. Con-
tinental conditions have considerably i'm
proved and the critics are inclined 10 take a
more hopeful view of the situation in Wall
street. There Is no question hat the inn

contingent as a threat to depress the Stock

one body In this vicinity. and all Of this
claims have on them a good showing OF
ore. At the present place OF working a
hny-foot shaft has been sunk. which has
exposed a n~inetcen-foot vein Of free mill
Ing ore, which samples across u from 81
TO $40 a ton. This vein carries good val
ues from the surface down to it's present
depth. other veins have been opened up
on the property which, from present de.
~velopments. show up equally as good as ths
one on which the work is now being prose-
cuted. II is the intention OF the company
10 keep a force OF men working on the
ground all winter and to give It as good
development as Is possible before spring
opens, and II at that time the ore bodies
warrant Il to erect a treatment plant on
the property. II is in a good location and
in a district in which there are a number
Of producing mines.
The Magnolia company has a force Of men
working on Burro gulch, about six miles
northwest Of Deadwood, developing a very
promising group OF claims. The present
work consists OF a tunnel which Is being
driven in on the nat formations and which
is now under the hill for a distance OF
about seventy-hve feet. For a part Of the
way the tunnel is in ore which is OF a
fairly good grade. averaging about IS a
ton, and there appears to be a large shoot
Of It. The company owns quite an acre
age OF ground on the gulch and will con-
tinue operations with a small force during
the winter months.
It is said that the Dakota Maid, in
Strawberry gulch, the old Joe King prop
erty, which has remained idle for almost
two years, awaiting the settlement of the
King estate. will resume operations next
week. The Dakota Maid is one Of the most
famous mines Of the Strawberry gulch dis
trict, and when in operation produced more
high grade gold ore than any mine in the
northern Hills, King having made a for
tune from 1t, and shipping his ore by
wagons over a hard trail for treatment In
the smelter at Deadwood. A railroad now
has a spur built TO the dump OF the mine,
so that this expense will be avoided and a
large quantity Of ore can be handled daily.
The mine was recently sold to a party OF
eastern gentlemen in the settlement Of the
estate and they propose to put It on a pro-
ducing basis again.

NOT ALARMED ABOUT SHEEP
Leading FIockmaster Anticipates No
Ulusual Loss During
Winter.

CHEYENNE. wyo., Nov. 30.-(special.)-
DR.. ]. NJ. Wilson Of Douglas, one of the
leading stockmen OF central eastern wyom-
Ing and member of the State Board Of Sheep
commissioners was In Cheyenne yesterday.
Asked regarding range conditions and the
report that millions Of sheep will die Of
starvation on the ranges of Wyoming, Idaho
and Montana this winter, he said:
80 far as Wyoming is concerned, / don't
believe we will experience more than the
usual loss, and that will be confined to
the old stock which will be unable TO
weather the storms even will plenty OF
feed. The report that there is very little
feed anywhere is greatly exaggerated in my
opinion, in northern and eastern Wyoming
there are some dry spots. but take the
range as a whole, the feed is fairly good.
Then stockmen everywhere have put up
large quantities of hay, which will, OF
course, come in handy in the event Of a
hard winter. Owing to the dry spell last
season, the hay crop fell short in some sec
tions, but take the state as a whole 1 be-
lieve there is SUFFICIENT hay to winter the
iocks.
These exaggerated reports are usually in
spired by persons who ride over the rail-
roads. along which the grass is, OF course,
eaten off by the iocks and herds that are
grazed while waiting to be shipped to mar
ket, and were these persons to go into the
Interior they would find far different con-
ditions."
In conclusion. DR.. Wilson. said: More
sheep have been shipped to market this
fall than during any previous year, and
this thinning out of the fiocks will be a
great help, for the ranges will not be called
upon to support as many animals. In case
Of an unusually severe winter there may
be some losses in certain sections, but with
an ordinary winter the losses will be nor
NAL. There is nothing in the situation
to cause alarm, and 1 believe the flock
masters generally are feeling pretty good
over the prospects."
