Mrs. Travers continued, you're Just
a little bit inclined to exaggerate your
future husbands straitened circun-
stances ?"
Perhaps I am" admitted Mabel
"But then"
"Oh, / know what is in your
mind, - interrupted her mother.
Poverty is always comparative, and
so, because you have been accustoni-
ed to a big house and plenty of ser
wants, little house with only one
servant must seem poor and mean
to you."
Mabel looked puzzled.
"You see," said Mrs. Travers,
when you compare the big house
with the little one, you're comparing
your fathers position with Leslie's
and the one, you know, is nearly thir'
ty years older than the other"

ually. You and father began just as
Leslie and 1 am going to begin"
"Well-no, not quite" returned
Mrs. Travers.
"But you were almost as poor,
weren't you? ?"
Mrs. Travers laughed gaily.

said, ''your fathers salary was ex-

Mother" said Mabel, "you make

pertinent. You see, our income was
below the minimum of discretion"
Anyhow, the experiment ended
happily"
''As it happened"
Mrs. Travers blushed charmingly.
"It was risk, though, which 1
shouldn't like you and Leslie to run. "
"You think I don't love Leslie as
much as you loved father, and no
wonder, after the way I've behaved"
said Mabel, humbly. Mother, I

TOO CHEERFUL.

Some one, somewhere, has said
that "a pessimist is one who has been
intimately acquainted with an op-
timist." F"
Many woman is contented to go
her way rejoicing, valuing her own
sphere and what she finds in it, until
by some accident of circumstances
she comes in touch with what seems
to her to be better things. Discon-
tent is very apt to follow and make
her look on the dark side of things
that before showed no discomfort
whatever. Or at least showed moth
ing that she thought too bad for her
to remedy with work and time.
To such natures as these a chance
acquaintance, who is, perhaps, better
circumstanced or understands more
interesting life and talks of herself
and affairs in a sunny, too cheerful
way, is really misfortune.
So it is we'll to be too cheerful some
times. What has generally, through
out time, been lauded a virtue may
bring out in some cases woeful dis
content and start up pessimist all
unawares.
Cheerfulness is all right in its place.
But when it comes directly in contact
with its opposite it better beware, and
use all its tact not to be the cause of
another's unhappiness.
Better than too much cheerfulness
over ones own affairs is little in
sight into the troubles of others, and
a willingness to 'help out" in them
in as unostentatious way as possible.

OWNS ALL THE BuFFAIoEs.

Unless the plans of Major Gordon
W. Lille, president of the Arkansas
Valley National Bank at Pawnee,
Okla, and who is known throughout
the West as "Pawnee Bill" go as
stray, the people of this country in
the course of year or two will be
supplied with buffalo beef.
"Pawnee Bill'' has bought tract
of land containing 500 acres near
Kenosha, Wis, and in the the spring
is to put herd of wild buffalo upon
it. Incidentally Major Lille, through
the aid of Lloyd F. Nicodemus, has
formed million dollar buffalo trust,
and the statistics of the government
show that he has corralled every wild
buffalo in the United States and Can
ada and in fact the entire world.
For the last ten years Major Lille
and Mr.. Nicodemus have been at
work getting into single herd all the
buffalo in the world, but the task is
now practically completed. and the
major has a single herd consisting Of
365 animals. All of these will be
placed on the Kenosha ranch, where
they will be in easy touch with the
markets of New York and Chicago.
In getting this herd together Major
Lille has recently bought the famous
Good Night" herd in Texas and
the Alvoid herd in Montana The
only animals of the race now to be
found outside of this herd are in the
parks of New York, Chicago, San
Francisco, Yellowstone and Cincin-
natl.
Major Lille is one of the most no.
ted OF the men who have made the
West famous, and his daring scheme
of corralling all the buffalo in the
world is in keeping with many others
which he has made. He is regarded
as one of the wealthiest men in the
West. At Pawnee he owns hanks,
railways, general stores and every
thing that could be considered a gen.
eral utility.
He was originally a "tenderfoot. !"
He was born at Bloomington, Ill. /,
and was educated at Yale. When he
had completed his college course, he
went west and was soon the hero of
the famous rush which marked the
opening of the Cherokee strip for col
onization. With a single bound he
became the leading white man in
the new territory and became known
as "the Little Giant of the West. /"
He became the trusted agent of the
Government in the New territory and
was the interpreter for the Govern
ment in its dealings with the In
dians.

wANrED-wIvEs FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

One of the subjects most widely
discussed and commented upon re-
Gently is the utterance of President
Roosevelt on the prevailing disin-
clination of young people to matri-
mony and the raising of families.
The Lancaster WezO Era remarks that
one of the main reasons for this ap-
parent indifference is the style of ex-
travagant living adopted by the young
people of today. Their aim in life
appears to be to have a good time.
They want plenty of amusement and
fast life. They must wear fine cloth
ing and go to the theatre every night.
The result is not dollar is laid away
for a rainy day. Nine cases out of
ten there is no capital on which to
begin a matrimonial career. The
young man reasons that unless there
is prospective father-in-law to fall
back upon the SAPCuoS of uIainIain-
ing a wife and family are positive
barriers against successful matri-
monial career. Rather than encoun-
ter such obstacles he avoids matri-
mony.
The young women are as anxious
for good time as their male compan-
ions. Instead of fitting themselves
for household duties, some lead lives
of idleness and ease. To be inform
ed in the art of good housekeeping
and cooking does not concern them
very much. Such things are left to
their mothers, who have not been car
ried away by the frivolities of fash
ion and who received their household
training in an earlier and better
school.
The inducements offered for young
women to acquire business educa-
ton today are most attractive. The
ambition to acquire ability to earn
their own living is most laudable.
All honor to the business schools of
the country which have made such a
thing possible. But the inclination
to leave home instead of remaining in
the household to become proficient in
the arts of housekeeping is apparent.
The young woman will take up stem
ography, typewriting, clerking in a
store, find employment in a mill or
factory, rather than assume the duties
that will equip her to preside with
conscious fitness over household of
her own.
The average young man may be
partial to a gay career, but he has,
nevertheless, enough judgment to
know that a young woman with such
limited experience in household care
and direction, and without any money,
is quite as likely to prove an incum-
brance as helpmeet. Hence he is
shy of contracting the matrimonial
fever.
Thus it comes about in these days
that while young people are anxious
to have good time socially entirely
R5assd AEf Il Ipot toagE aEaEH u
assuming household and family cares.
1t is radical departure from the Gus
toms of the olden time, when, with
marriage in view, both men and wo-
men, by their training, prepared at
once to make family life both desira-
bic and successful.

SIGNS OF SPRING.

When the maple buds are swelling
And the chic-a-dees are yelling,
When we reach our country dwelling
BY a muddy road and drear:
When the frosty ground is thawing
And the crows keep up their cawing,
Then we know without more jawing
That the joyful Spring is here.
When the cleaning-woman rushes
In with pail and broom and brushes
And your Indignation crushes
By a single glance severe;
When this female of great daring
Is your house to pieces tearing
And you're on the point of swearing,
Feel assured that Spring is here.
When the daffodils are poking
Through the ground so wet and soaking
And the frogs at eve are croaking
In the marshy places near;
When the cellar fills with water
BY a stray hole in the mortar,
In way 1t hadn't oughter,
Then the springtime thaw is here.
When we take our sarsaparilla,
OF q failing strength the pillar,
And we feel q great deal iller
Than we have through all the year;
When the weather man, that wizard,
Does predict bowling blizzard,
You can safely bet your gizzard
That the Spring is really here.
