A YEAR JACKRABBITS
| FROZE

THE hardest winter upon the west
ern plains. within the memory of
man, was that of 1885 and 1885,
says the Kansas City Star. There are
men now in Kansas City who were out
upon the plains through the terrible
storms of that winter. Some of them
lost in one night the fortunes they had
been long years accommodating in the
cattle business. 1t was estimated at
the time that 20 per cent of all the cat
tie upon the plains in western Kansas
the Texas Panhandle and the Indian
Territory, or 100000 cattle in all. were
frozen to death that winter Seth Ma
bry lost 100000 worth of cattle that
winter; out of %, 600 cattle he was herd

from cold and starvation Hawins &
Titus lost $4,000 of their own and 10000
more they We're wintering for Plumb &
Lyle. 1t was so cold that quail and
jack rabbits and antelopes were frozen
to death. Herds of wild antelope be-
came so tame from exposure that they
would permit a man on horseback to
ride among them For years afterward
the bleaching bones of cattle that died
in the winter of 1886 bestrewed the
plains.

in the Texas Panhandle. He saw the
effects of the great ''norther'' that
swept across that country the night of
Jan. g. 1886. OF this storm the official
reports of the government weather bu-
reau say:
THE cold wave moved with great
rapidity southwark, causing a severe
norther' in Texas with intense cold
weather which was very destructive to
animal life
OF his experiences in this terrible
storm, Mr.. Hickman says:
Il was working that winter for the
Muscatine Cattle company. Their ranch
was within forty miles of the corners
of the four states of Colorado, Texas.
Oklahoma and New Mexico l did not
spend the winter upon the ranch, but
was 100 miles south of it near Tuscosa.
Seven of us were camped in two dug
outs in a canyon near the barbed wire
fence that ran east and west Our pur-
pose in being there was to cut the fence
and let the cattle through if they came
for water or driven before storm. The
night of Jan. there was g terrific
norther. but we were asleep in our
dugouts in the canyon and knew moth

we rode out of the canyon upon the
mesa. / shall never forget that sight.

US. There were 10000 cattle upon the

storm struck them they did what cat

Here is a very sensible superstition
to have. That unless you pay your
doctor promptly, it is a sign you will
be sick longer.
"A man never knows what little in
huence he has with his women folks
until his daughter falls in love with
a man he cant approve, of.
There are some people still SO many
miles behind the times that when a
girl earns her own living, 1hoy look
reproachfully at her father.
"A woman may be justly indignant
when she catches her husband doing
wrong, but the episode will fnallyse end
in her apologies for catching him at
it.
This is the way a woman looks at it:
If a friend is dying who hasn't your
doctor, it is criminal carelessness
that is killing her; if she is dying
and has your doctor, the ways OF
Providence are past finding out.
a health book coming to this Office
advises its readers to take a Thought

a good one. Every one should at

much evil about people.

A BRASS MONKEY.

One day there was a brass monkey
in a show window IF a cigar store,
which worked automatically. and
when the cigarette was put into its
hands, it drew it to and fro, and
pulled the smoke just like a live per-
son But after awhile it stopped,
and no oil nor anything else would
make it work. So they took it apart,
and to their great surprise they found
the machinery inside clogged with to-
bacco and it would not work until
it was cleaned. What do you sup
pose cigarettes will do for the ma
chinery Of a boy-his heart, lungs,
liver, brain, etc. if they will do that
for the machinery of a brass monkey
1t can do this much worse: It can
kill a boy by affecting his machinery.
It can keep him from having good
steady nerves, a clear brain, a strong
heart, and tough muscles for the work
of life, before it does kill.-Ex.
