The Queen of Romance.

An English lady tells story of Queen
Victoria which she knows is true.
Three children were walking along the
road between Windsor and Stoke Pogis
They heard the sound of carriage
wheels. 1t was the queens carriage,
and she was in it.
The oldest child, a little boy, had
been reading oriental stories and fairy
lore. He knew what was due to a
queen, and cried to the others:
Get down fat in the dust before the
carriage, and Wen all call out at once,
% queen, live forever!
Down went the three little bodies fiat
in the dust, much to the mystification
of the coachman, who reined up sharp
ly.
The queen leaned forward and asked
''What in the world is the matter, chill
dren? Are you frightened"
Three voices came out of the dust in
a smothered treble.
Eyes 0 queen!'
Then there was pause, and one re-
proachful voice said, There, we forgot
the live forever part"
The queen grasped the situation and
laughed aloud, as her coachman after
ward said, "more heartily than she had
laughed for years."

A Tigers Charge.

A writer in the Bombay Gazette de-
scribes the rare experience Of seeing
the charge of famous man eating tt
ger which ended harmlessly. "a camel
with slipping load had" the writer
says, "been halted not far from his
lair, when with a 'wrouff' (once heard
never to be forgotten the tiger charged
for the man leading the camel. The
tiger, l have no doubt, would have car
ried off the camel man, but when he
saw the long, and to him unfamiliar,
neck of a camel coming between him
and his intended victim dare say he
thought things were not quite as he
had calculated. Anyway he paused,
casually surveyed the whole party
and. with tail erect, calmly walked
back into the jungle. The camel man
was either so frightened or the whole
thing from beginning to end had oc-
cupied so short a time Qess than a
minute, should judge that he did not
stir from the place where he was when
the tiger first made his attack"

An Omission to Be Rectified.

A German nobleman in course of a
visit to New York, commended the
wines of America. He praised espe-
cially the California red wines, which
seemed, he said, to be exceedingly pure.
Then, apropos of wines purity, he mar
rated recent happening in Berlin.
"a Berlin vintner,'' he said, was &C
cused of selling a wine made of chem
icals. He was brought to court, found
guilty and fined. After he had paid
his fine he approached the chemist
whose testimony had convicted him.
How did you know he asked curious
ly, that my wine was manufactured?
because it contained no bitartrate
of potash,' said the chemist. In natu-
raj wines bitartrate of potash is always
found
Thanks said the vintner in a tone
of relief 1T will be found in my wines

Tom BOWer1s'
nv Y u BY.
JAMES NORFLEET
JAMES NORFLEET
Copyright. 1904, by K. u. Whitehead

The girl of the 81. Y. L." ranch was
Nora Davis, niece of the proprietor,
who was passing a year in the far west
by the advice of her doctor. The pres
ence of a woman at the ranch house
was no strange thing, as Mrs. Davis
was there and had two or three women
helpers, but the sight of a good looking
girl of twenty riding and walking
about kept the cowboys in a state of
excitement.
Soon after the arrival of Miss Nora
the jokers began to level their shafts
at Tom BOWens. Tom was no cowboy,
and was, therefore, looked down upon
with good natured contempt. He was
a poor rider and he owned to lack
of nerve, and he had, therefore, been
employed as a general 'chore man." 1t
was announced by the jokers that Tom
had fallen head over heels in love with
the young lady and would soon propose
marriage.
Tom was too bewildered to deny or
affirm. He had only caught sight of
the girl once or twice and had then
gazed upon her as something new in
the menagerie line The chaff set him
to thinking, however. He began tC
wonder if he was not in love with the
girl and within three or four days he
had convinced himself that he was. He
was unlettered, uncouth and without
a dollar to his name, but it did not oc
cur to him that those things barred
him out of the race. He acknowledged
his passion to the men about him, but
had opportunity been offered him 8
hundred times over he would not have
preached the matter to the girl by word
or look. Some time in the future, he
reasoned to himself-some tine after
he had loved long, long time and got
to be a rich cattle owner, and the >squin1
had been taken out of his eyes and the
crook out Of his legs-he might declare
his love, but not till then.
The boys on the ranch had other
things to think of besides guying Ton
Bowens, but they let up on him fol
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1904-07-14

''Can a man libA me ever hope to win
girl like herr"
Tom was scared at the thought, and
he began to size himself up. He had
often been called Bow Legs" and
''Squint Eye" He knew that he was
'off' in looks; he was uneducated; he
was without means. He was only a
"chore man" at $40 month on ranch,
without the slightest prospect Of rising
higher. For the first time he realized
the gulf between them. He had been
an idiot, he admitted to himself, but
he would be an idiot no longer. He
would cease to love-go away-fall in
love with the cook as a counterbalance.
| He was thinking harder than he had
ever thought before when Slight noise
| in the pass startled him. and he
thought he made out a human figure
| skulking about. If it was a human
figure it could only be that of one of
the renegade Indians, and if he was
| skulking he meant murder. Tom Bow
ems had been charged with lack of
nerve and had always been ready to
admit it. He had never been tried out,
and, therefore, did not know himself.
| Within a minute after catching sight
of the skulking figure he had turned
the horses and was walking them slow
ly back toward the girl, whistling as
he went She looked up in surprise as
he drew near, and he carelessly dis
mounted and calmly said:
Miss Nora, don't be startled at what
1 say. There are Indians in the pass.
I have seen one of them, and there is
probably half a dozen. 1 want you to
get on Jour horse and ride off slowly
for a ways and then ride like fire for
the ranch"
DO you mean it?" asked Nora in a
puzzled way.
"But you-you"- she asked as he
lifted her into the saddle.
"Pm going to stay here bit. The
Indians must have their ponies in
there with 'em, and they'd overhaul
me before I got a mile away. Don't
stop now, but ride on. You'll get away
all right, and you'll tell 'em at the
house."
She would have said more, but he
gave her horse a slap, and the animal
moved forward. His own would have
followed, but he made it fast to a bush
and then went whistling back to the
mouth of the pass and dropped behind
a bowlder and drew one Of his revolv.
ers. Five, seven, ten minutes passed
Then came yell from the Indians, who
had been tricked, and a band of six
rushed out. Pop, pop, pop, went Toms
revolver, and then they closed in on
him, and all was over.
Two hours later when a dozen cow
boys rode up they found two dead In
dams and the trail of a wounded one
and Tom Bowens lay there stiff and
cold, with a smile on his face. He
couldn't win the girl he loved, but he
had died for her.

only few days at time, and, there
love to wane. 1t happened, too, that
when Miss Nora went to ride by her
self Tom was sent along to gallop
about fifty feet in the rear and act as
groom. She was somewhat naughty,
and she was something of an aristo-
crat, but she was no snOb. She spoke
to her groom with a smile, and on
many occasions drew him out regard
ing ranch life and its work and adj
ventures. He was always respectful
to a degree, and the thought never
entered her head that he aSpired.
After her first three months at the
ranch there came an Indian scare. A
band had broken away from the reser-
walton and taken to the foothills and
killed stock and a man or two. The
daily gallops were not interrupted, but
shortened, and Tom Bowens, who was
q good shot, if no cowboy, buckled on
a pair OF reyOlvers every time he was
sent to act as guard and groom. Sol
d1ers were ordered out to drive the
breakawayS back, and after a few days
the scare subsidized. Some of the red
men surrendered and returned to ac-
cept the beef and blankets of the
Great Father, but half dozen stood
out for the warpath and lodged the
soldiers and remained in the hills
They were cute enough to remain
quiescent until forgotten, and then
they one day emerged from their hid
ing place in search Of scalps. 1t hap
pened to be day on which Miss Nora
was taking a longer ride than usual
and it was fated that they should be
brought together.
After riding a straight twelve miles
out from the ranch the girl halted hel
horse at the mouth of Wolf pass II

long cutting through the hills. Tom
Bowens was with her, as usual, and
he held her horse as she dismount-
ed and wandered about among the
powders to Gull a flower here and
there AS he watched her he fell TO mus
ing. His love was growing day by day
but he was successfully concealing it
When would the time come to reveal
it? When revealed would it be recipro
Gated? All of a sudden the thought
came to him for the first time:

The Trolley Carries Farm Produce

The Trolley Carries Farm PrOOuce.
Rockford, Ill.-Farmers in north
eastern Illinois and the adjoining sec
ton in Wisconsin are making use of
the electric roads to ship live stock,
butter and eggs, vegetables and other
products direct from their own farms
to the Chicago market. They have side
tracks on which to load cars, and these
cars are then run on to the main lines
and through to destination 1t is
claimed that this is much cheaper than
driving to market with teams. Rock
ford also Is the center of several inter
urban lines. and trolley transportation
for farm produce has become very
popular among the farmers this sea-
son. In the pressure Of farm work
and scarcity of help it is a saving Of
the time and labor of men and teams
and in other ways a great convenience
for farmers to take themselves and
their produce to town in this expedi-
tiOus and easy fashion. AS conse-
quence, the building up Of the farm
trade in this and other places which
