A WESTERN BIRTHDAY PARTY.
A less grewsome anecdote of the hu.
morous daring of the woman, ct
more recent date, is given by an eye.
witness of the scene described. To use
his own words: 1.-TWO years ago Ca.
lamity Jane was on her way from
jamestown, n. d., to Livingston, Mont.
Her birthday called for proper cele.
Dration. This was in the COW town Of
Oaks, n. D.; she drank much, and in
one saloon the boys began to chaff
her. With a grim smile she invited
every one up to the bar. Suddenly two
revolvers appeared, for she could draw
as quick as any man that ever lived.
"Dance, you tenderfeet, dance" she
commanded, firing a few shots into
the air, by way of emphasis; and they
did dance-and they did other things,
too. at her word. for they knew she
was woman not to be trif1ed with,
and if they hadn't known. the way
she closed that saloon would have
been powerfully convincing A little
later. during the Pan-American EX.
position, she was induced by inter.
ested friends to go to Buffalo. To this
wild Western woman, who had never
known home. who hated civilization,
and who always had moved on at
sound of the distant locomotive, the
confinement was unbearable. She
hailed the coming of Buffalo Bill with
pathetic joy. To him she applied for
funds to return to her old stamping
grounds in Montana. For the sake of
the days when this weather-beaten,
dissipated woman was a handsome
young girl. Colonel Cody helped his for.
mer scouting companion home. For a
time she haunted various mining
camps, and at last drifted into the
Butte poorhouse. From thence she
wandered to Dakota, where she died,
eight miles from Deadwood, leaving u
husband in Denver, much younger than
| herself. and married daughter, whose
| name she refused to give.
Such in brief was the life of this
| singular woman, vouched for by those
who knew her well.
| When the elastic line that bounced
the new West was merged into the
Pacific cable, it was time for her to
go. Until they. too, shall pass, she will
| be remembered by old timers for her
big heart and matchless courage; while
all readers of Bret Harte's "The Luck
of Roaring Camp" will recognize in
| "Cherokee Sar' Calamity Jane, the
Woman Scout"

Tho Farmer Who Was Hired to Please.


A boy drove load of hay up ter

"I'd like to-" said the boy, "Lut am
afraid father wouldn't like it."
"Oh, he won't mindS you can work

served.
"Won't you have Il cup Of tea, my
boy?" asked the farmer.
I'D like one, but an afraid father
wouldn't like it,
"Oh, come on, take a cup Of tea; it

The Coolest Known Liquid

Liquid hydrogen is by far the coolest
liquid known at the present time. At
ordinary atmosphere pressure it boils
at -422 degrees Fahrenheit, and re-
duction of the pressure b. an air pump
brings the temperature down to -433
degrees, at which the liquid becomes
solid, resembling frozen foam. Ac-
cording to Prof. Dewar. to whom the
credit is due of having iquehed hydro
gen in 1893, the liquid is a colorlcss,
transparent body, and is the lightcst
liquid known to exist, its density be-
ing only one-iourtccnth that OF water;
the lightest liquid previously known
was liquid marsh gas, which is six
times heavier. The only solid which
has SO small density as to float upon
its surface is a piece OF pith wood.

The New Stamp

The new 2-cent stamp will probably
not feel especially stuck up after the
usual abuse has beeh heaped upon it.
The fact is, life is not worth living for
an ordinary little postage stamp in
these days of clarifying good taste.
Some time perhaps a designer will
arise who will discard pictures of ma
tional worthless and conhne himself
strictly to pure design, and the stamp
that he will produce will radiate with
loveliness on an envelope OF handmade
paper.
