STOLE THE WRONG BAG.
Sad Ending to the Romance or Young Eskimo Who Loved HIS
 Enenny's Daughter.

The duke of the Abruzzi has brought back with him from his polar expedi- ton a, number of Eskimo stories, re- ports the New York Tribune.
 One of these concerns young Eskl- mo who loved the daughter of an ene- my. The two huts of these persons were close together, but one night the terrific cold ripped a great crevasse in the ice, and the young mans house was left isolated.
 A gorge 100 feet deep and 20 feet wide separated it from the igloo, or hut, containing the girl, but there was narrow bridge of ice left across the crevasse, and this, the. young man found, would bear his weight.
 Eskimos sleep in bags. The lover de- cided that he would that night cross the ice bridge, steal the maiden he loved bear her to his hut, and then break down the bridge, so that he and she together might enjoy their honey moon unmolested.
 He planned very successfully. He crept, in the dead of night, into his enemy's hut; he snatched up the maiden in her sack without awaking anyone; he bore her over the ice bridge safely, and then he opened the sack to embrace his bride. But, beholding it's contents he gave a loud cry. It was not the maiden, but her father that he 7 had stolen.

RIDING A BUCKING STEER.
balIed by One Who Knows More Dif- facuIt Than sticking on
 Bucking BrOmcho.

"A bucking bronchas said the re- tired cowboy, according to the Chi cago Inter Ocean, is generally con sidered the hardest proposition to ride in this land, but until1a man has tackled a buclSing steer he has not realized all the possibilities of the gentle art.
 "Out in the COW country they have just begun to learn the art, and it is really an art. None of the wild west shows has yet got hold of the few fellows who have mastered the -strad- d1e and, seat, and until they do their congresses of rough riders will not be complete.
 'sYou can cinch horse up until there is little possibility of the sad dle's slipping, but it can't be done on steer.
 ssThe steer-riding fad had it's start down in Texas, where the animals are wild enough to suit < < even the most exacting cowpuncher, and it is now being introduced farther north. A puncher's playtime is often long enough to give him chance for such experiments, and some of the more slSi1lful have got it down to a fine point.
 'tBut the hombre who thinks It IS an easy task to stick to wild boy who knows enough to do the grand buck and pitch is down for an experl- ence he will carry in his book of re- membrance for long time.

 Much depends on the crop outcome, says Banker Henry Clews in his weekly letter Though the season is very backward still the. conditions of wheat, corn and cotton are such as to promise abundant yield should the weather pending the harvest be fair average. Merchants are operating cautiously, the high prices of many ar ticles of merchandise checking con sumption and preventing the carrying of large stocks. Manufacturers are often embarrassed by labor exactions and the difficulty of securing better prices for their products. So long as consumers could be made to pay for these increased costs the demands of labor were readily acce6ied to. The situation, now. however, is changing, and agitation of this sort is on the wane. Rai' toad earnings continue large and the iron industry preserves it's re-narkab e activity; yet fD Both of these divisions of industry pro .ts are diminishing and little talk s neafd Of increased dividends. aas

The republicans of Iowa are still shouting that the iowa deal" is not dead, and that 1t win De incorporated in the platform adopted gbg the repub- lican state convention. If the repub- licans who believe as does Governor Cummins concerning the revision of the tariff covering tHe schedules that shelter the trusts and monopolies want real tariff revision and reduction they can get it,esays our Washington corre- spondent, Instead .sof bowling about it in their state platforms, why not put it in the platforms on which their mem bers of congress are nominated and elected and compel those candidates to stand for tariff revision and reduc- tion or get out of the race. Tariff schedules are changed by the congress and not by state conventions or legis. latures. If they are going to put tar if revision and reduction in their state platform, why not put it in the shape of positive instruction to their dele gation in congress to vote for it? It is a we'll known fact that the delega- ton in congress from Iowa is bitterly opposed to any tariff legislation that will lower the tariff wall in any way. If the Iowa deal'' Is to have any weight Of bear any fruit it must be adopted by the Iowa delegation in con- gress. If only sixteen republicans in the next house will vote with the dem ocrats we will have a bill passed by house shortly after congress meets in regular session that will take the shelter tents off many of the worst monopolies and trusts in the country. l Of course such a bill could never get l through the republican senate, but ii
 would prove the sincerity of those re-
 publicans who are bowling about tar l if revision and reform. The truth of
 the matter is that they are not sincere

MONDAY, JUNE 2e. 1soss

One hundred acres of land i'll the sand hills of the Dismal River FoFest reserve Nebraska. were planted this spring by the bureau of forestry. On 80 acres 100000 pine seedlings were set out; the other 20 acres were sowed wihh seed. The work will continue this summer. The nursery will be enlarged so as to cover 2,o00 acres, which will hold 100000 seedlings. The bureau intends to increase the size of the nursery gradually so as to make it grow enough seeding trees every year to furnish sufficient stock for the planting. It is intended ulti- mately to turn the whole of the Mo ibrara and Dismal River reserves
 which are now barren sand hills, into forest by planting. The Dismal Riv. CT reserve includes S6.O0O acres, the Niobrara reserve 126,0OO. A survey of the boundaries of the Niobrara re

HORSE KNEW THE PATRONS.
When the MiIiSman Was Disabled, HIS Faithful steed Attended to
 Business.

The dairyman's horse learns a few things as he goes on his daily round, > said man who lives up town. re- ports the New Orleans Times-Demo- crat, land I had occasion to observe this fact recently. It came about in very pathetic way. For many years have been patronizing one milkman, and for the past several years he has been driving an old frame of horse. The animal was not very fast, but he was faithful. One day not long ago the old milk, man was suddenly stricken with par. alysis while making his round, OF just as he had completed it. At any rate, he was in his wagon and was so violently afflicted that he could not move, could not do anything for him, self.
 "The horse seemed to understand the situation, so he pulled the wagon home with his master in 1t. I did not know about this until several days after it happened. missed my n1ilkman for several days, and did not understand why it was. I thought probably the old fellow was sick, or that something had happened to him. In few days strange milkman stopped in front of my house. He came in and asked if the old man calling his name--had been delivering milksat my place. told him that he had, and inquired what was the matter with the old fellow. Then he told me the old dairyman had been stricken with paralysis, and was in desperate condition.
 {" We have number of customers he said, half apologetically, having your name, and was not certain about your place. But, you see, this old horse here has been our main reli- ance. He knows the route pretty well, and when he stopped in front of your house thought you, must be one of the old mans customers, too. That old horse is not very good looking, but he has head full of sense,' and the new milkman walked away with show of much pride. Horses ane close observers, and learn rapidly sometimes

Tries to Run an Automobile With
 out an Experts Help.
He Thought It Was a Snap, But Had am Exciting Experience-Proud 0f the Way in Which He
 Acquitted Himself.

MT. Thompkins walked around the automobile eyeing the machine crit ically.
 "Huh," he remarked, T don't sec anything so particularly hard about running that thing"
 "No," remarked Mrs. Thompkins, with a sigh, T knew you wouldn't. That is why I have elected to stay at home while you take the automobile out on it's first trip"
 "No, Mrs. Thompkins, you shall come awith me. want to show you what nonsense they talk about these things, Of course, it's partly peoples own fault. They go entirely too fast. They should learn to control themselves as we'll as the machine, and not go faster than the speed permitted by law. This machine, as you can see, is a simple af- fair. There's thing-a-ma-bob there on the dashboard to steer by and g what-you-may-cal over in this cor. ner to start it and stop it, and then there's the squawk-squawk to warn people to get out of the way. It's dead easy"
 With many mIsglVlngs Mrs. Inomp' pkins stepped into the machine, and Thompkins kicked the starting lever The machine went charging through an old fence and across hay field.
 "What is this, cross country chase or what?" asked Mrs. Thompkins.
 "I want to show you how this auto mobile could travel over any kind of a road" murmured Thompkins.
 T am convinced,',' said Mrs. Thomp kins. T like the road better. Would you mind going back? P
 Thompkins was on the verge of re plying when the < automobile went through fence, and, the road having the good sense to run away in 8 straight line from where Thompkins came through, the machine continued in the exact center of the road.
