The Grateful Prospector.

"'For the love of God and the sake of humanity help me to get square meal and make a fresh start Then he told me long hard luck story and I gave him a dollar That was at Kingman in 1900 and the incident was forgotten. Only a few weeks ago when l returned to my office l found a man whose face WIS familiar to me, but 1 could not remember where I had seen him. He was dressed in fashion and handed me a card with the name of Michael F. Garrity.
 "'You don't remember me?'
 Not in those clothes
 Where were you in October, 1900? Do you remember meeting any one at Kingman?
 "Yes, there was the dirtiest, ragged and most pitiful old cripple that I ever saw, who came and asked me, for the love of God

That dollar put me on my feet. bought a square meal and struck out again. Drifting out to the Gold Roads country, located prospect that proved a bonanza. What 1 took out and sold the mine for put me nearly half million to the good. I want you to accept a little present as a testimonial of the gratitude 1 feel towards you. In making this gift I am not robbing myself, for I have plenty left, and it is far less to me now than a dol lar was three years ago.
 "With that remark" said R. B. Watson, of St. Louis, "he handed me package containing $50,OO0 in government bonds. I told him could not accept such large sum for so small service. He felt ag- grieved, and then forced the gift upon my wife. We concluded it would be unkind as we'll as foolish from our own standpoint not to take the money. The old man went away delighted, saying he would be happier all his life for having found me" ."--Rocky Noun tain Messenger.

An Arizonan's Cure for Cattle BIoat.

An article on the subject given in recent issue of the Agricultural Epitomist, recommends turpentine as sure cure for bloat in cattle; it probably is, but in case one has no turpentine on hand at the time, here is d remedy which can always be on hand and is a sure cure: Throw couple of buckets of cold water along the anlmal's back. This may seem strange, but has often been tried with success.
 Bishop H. Hubbard informs the cattlemen that he has been using the cold water treatment for cattle bloat for more than two years, and always with success. It is much better than plunging a knife into the bowels of the poor animals that happen to eat too much green alfalfa Ships.

Return Passes Granted.

The Courier is in receipt of a cir cular letter from the headquarters of the National Live Stock associa- tion, with headquarters at Denver; Col, which says: eve are pleased to advise you that since the issu ance of Bulletin No. 49, the general traffic managers of all stock carry ing roads have conceded the re- quest made of them at Chicago on Feb. 25 by this association for the restoration of return transportation to bona fide shippers of live stock. This order went into effect on the 2d inst, under the same rules as governed prior to Jan. 1, 1904; but we are advised that certain amend ments will be made to these rules for the protection of both the trans portation companies and the ship pers. Strong resolutions demand ing return to this privilege were adopted by the Cattle Growers as sociation of Texas, the Western South Dakota Stockgrowers' asso- citation, and the Corn Belt Meat Producers association of Iowa.
 These associa tions are entitled to a share of the credit for bringing about satisfactory and speedy settlement of this question. Of course, good service is the thing de- sired above all others by the ship per, but the return pass is not the insignificant item as it has been termed by some. This item means an annual saving of $50,OOO to the Texas and $4O,OOO to the Montana cattlemen, and a sum almost as large to the sheep growers of Wy oming, Idaho and ah."-Pres- colt Courier.

Learn To stand Well.

Women who wish 70 preserve the
slimness and contour OF their figures
must begin by learning TO stand well.
That is explained to mean the throwing
forward and upward of the chest, the
fiattening Of the back and the shoulder
blades held in their proper places and
the definite curving in OF the small OF
the back, thus throwing the whole
weight OF the body on the hips. This,
in a great measure, preserves the figure
because it keeps the muscles firm and
well strung and prevents the sinking
down OF the flesh round the waist. so
common in women over thirty, which
is perfectly easy TO escape. Another
thing TO avoid is n bad habit of going
upstairs, as most women do. bent for
ward, with the chest contracted, which,
as well as being an indolent. slouching
manner Of walking is injurious to the
heart and lungs.
