The following case is but one of

Prof Buffum is probably the best
posted man on all phases of arid farm
ing to be found in the west. Prof. Mel

vestigating the flora and native grasses
OF Wyoming than any other person,
and Prof. Morton is a young man of
more than ordinary ability in his spec
ialty. At the great fat stock show he
was awarded a gold medal in stock

The people of wyoming are fortu-
nate in having men of such ability at
the head Of their agricultural college

CHILDREN
IF YOU HAVE ANY THIS WILL
INTEREST YOU.

so many little boys and girls come
into our store who are weak, thin
legged and hollow-cheeked," said the
manager of the Red Cross Pharmacy.
lit seems a shame to allow them to
remain SO, for they will grow up into
weak, sickly and nervous men and
women, without the vitality to work
or enjoy life"
If, continued the man iGer, the
fathers and mothers of such children
would believe what We say Of Vinol,
we would see a great difference in the
appearance of the younger generation
Of this city. You know Vinol is not a
patent medicine, and is just the tonic
growing children need. 1t will make
for them good, healthy flesh, sound
bone, hard muscle and rich, red blood.
True, Vinol is a coo liver oil prepa-
ration, but it does lot contain a drop
of oil, or any bad tasting feature. 1t
Is SO delicious that all children love
it, yet it actually does contain all the
medicinal curative elements found in
fresh Gods livers, and is the most
wholesome and best medicine for chill
dren W. ever sold.
I'VE have many letters from CRATE
full mothers whose children owe their
health, n even life, to Vinol. The
following letter from Mrs. C. Allen of
New Bedford, Mass, tells what Vinol
did for her children. She writes:
with two puny. ailing children, l
was very much worried, and did not
know what to do to create strength
for them and to have them gain flesh.
[ tried almost everything, INT as a
last resort Vinol, and the benefit from
that was great in a very short time.
They are rapidly gaining flesh and
strength. n l am satisfied Vinol will
do as much for other children"
1t is because we know what Vinol
will do that we guarantee if it fails
to make your children well, rugged
and rosy, to refund your money. Req

bone of our hero's off-limb coming back
into its place and reuniting
Then his rib came back on of the
ground n waltzed into him, his liver
healed up, and he arose and sat in the
moonlight.
His first words were, "Ah, Geraldine,
you have brought me back to life. Now
would you please look around and see
if there is any cold pie in the house,
my very ownest own"
This seemed to indicate that he had
not fully recovered his mental facul-
ties, as the most accessible cold pie
was 81 miles from where they were,
and in a direct line.
Geraldine. however, set herself at
souls idol. Taking some salt she went
out along the wooded slope to find a
jack-rabbit on whose tail she could
throw the salt, thus securing him as
an easy prey.
She soon scared up one with a brok-
en- leg.
Most all Of my gentle, refined and
intellectual readers of the Rocky
mountains have frightened from his
lair, at some time OF other, a Jack
rabbit with a broken leg. Jack-rabbits
with shattered limbs are very common
in the west.
Geraldine followed hopefully on. Up
hill and down, over low parks covered
with bunch.grass. Gro little noun
tain streams, through long stretches
of CROSSWORD and sagebrush, starting
the owl from some blasted pine tree,
Or frightening the smiling coyote from
his course, onward and ever onward
she flew like a hunted fawn.
Her every motion was grace and
poetry itself. The timber sun bonnet
fiopped to and fro with a merry Runic
flop, but the crippled John rabbit did
not tarry. For an invalid, he seemed
to make very fair time.
Occasionally he would look around
over his shoulder and laugh a merry
haunting laugh. Then he would give
his attention to getting over the
ground.
Geraldine got mad, INT resolved to
Iovertake her game and mete out to
him a horrible death.
Now and then she would wildly throw
la lump of salt in the direction Of the
fleeing rabbit; but it always failed>to
connect.
1t was, indeed, an exciting chase,
and, in fact, is yet, for as we go to
press, Geraldine is still madly pursu-
ing the ~ostensibly disabled jack-rabbit
with a handful of common table salt
poised in the air, ready to throw upon
the tail Of her rapidly retreating ad-
versary.
Jesse James, alias Pumpkin Jim,
waited a reasonable length of time for
the return of Geraldine; but as she
cometh not he said, he arose. and be-
striding his narrow guage mule, he
rode away.
He readily laid down his life again
wherever he went, and although he
died a miserable death in almost every
corner of the earth, he never more met

countess, to whom he was be%trothed.

IL was evening in the mountains.
The golden god of day was gliding
slowly adown the crimson west. Here
and there the cerulean dome was fieck
ed with snowy clouds.
The flecks were visible to the naked
eye.
Meanwhile the golden god of day,
h~ereinbefore referred to, continued to
glide adown the crimson west, with
about the same symmetrical glide. 1t
had done so on several occasions pre-
vious to the opening of this story.
The katydid was singing sleepily in
the long grass, and the grizzly bear
was trilling between eleven trills on
the still air.
1t was a spot where the foot of man
had never trod, and the undisturbed
temple of nature with its hallowed
hush and never ending repose. The
lofty pines were swaying softly to and
fro in the gentle breeze of evening,
and the babbling brook went babbling
down its rocky bed in the bottom OF
the canon, with a merry bab.
All at once. like a flash of dazzling
light, a noble youth came slowly down
the mountain side, riding an ambling
palfrey of the narrow-guage variety,
with a paint-brush tail on him-(that is
the palfrey, of course.) The palrrey
was a delicate buckskin color, with
high, intellectual ears and Roman
nose.
In crossing the stream the palfrey
stubbed his toe, and fell on his noble
rider. breaking the mans leg in three
places, n jammlng one of his lids
through the liver and into the ground,
thus pinning him to the earth, and pre-
venting him from rising.
The buckskin palfrey, with almost
human foresight, and wonderful inter
ligence, found a soft place in the gras-
sy bottom and lay down.
There, in the slanting rays of the de
clining sun, and stretched out upon the
sedgy brink of the clear mountain
stream, far from the reach of man ana
miles beyond the outer line of civil
cation, lay Pumpnin Jim, the %yipping,
yelling yahoo of Dirty Woman's ranch.
He lay there partially submerged in
the stream and partially in the clear,
bracing atmosphere. Wild-eyed and
beautiful he lay there, looking up in
to the glad realms of space, with the
murderous glitter in his eye that WINS
a woman's love, and the sympathy OF
kind hearted philanthropist.
Occasionally he would raise his
broken limb and try to use it, but it
generally wilted and dropped like the
leg of a rag doll.
Then he would struggle to raise HIM
self up n drag his body out upon
the bank, but the broken rib would
tear out large chunks Of his liver, and
make him feel wretched and unhappy.
Curses upon thee, thou base and
tlSoSiSlouS luule. ut IluIIluFeu,
brokenly. by my beard, thou hast
poorly repaid me tor my unremitting
kindness to thee. All, alack, alack,
alack-" {
He was just about to alack some
more, when a mellow girlish voice
came floating down the gulch and fell
in large fragments neal where he lay.
He gathered up some of the chunks
of melody to see what the song might
be. 1t was that wonderful masterpiece
of Mozart's, When Johnny Comes
Marching Home"
Then he swooned.
The gurgling brook still continued
to gurg. We will let it gurg.

CHAPTER II.
Geraldine Carboline O'1oole.

~ pSSsSs
The melodious voice referred to in
the proceeding chapter was owned and
operated by Geraldine Carboline
IO'Toole, the heroine of this classic
tale.
Anon she came down the valley like
a thing of life.
The timber sunbonnet which she
wore had drifted to leeward and re.
vealed her Grecian profile and peeled
nose.
All at once her fawn-like eyes fell
upon the PROSTATE figure, pale and still,
and its toes turned toward the center
Of the zodiac.
A wild, frightened look came into
her starry eyes, and a CHASTITY pallor
~overspread her young face. throwing
her intellectual freckles into strong re-
lief.
She stole forward and looked at the
pale face Of Pumpkin Jim as 1t lay up
turned with the rosebud mouth slightly
ajar, like the mouth Of the Mississip-
pi river.
Then she stopped. and dipping up
some of the clear, cold water in his
hat, poured it into the rosy mouth.
Slowly 1t trickled down his throat, and
the wild panic and surprise created in
his stomach by the novel fluid brought
him speedily to consciousness.

POLICEMEN OF MEXICO ALERT

before one of the bluecoated men is
at the side of the offender.
Instead of walking a beat the police
Of the City Of Mexico are stationed
along the street, and in the daytime
their place is the center Of the inter
section Of the streets. At night theib
place is taken by their lanterns, and
one looking up any street at night
may form an accurate idea CT the
number Of men who are on watch for
disturbances by the long line of lights
extending up the middle of each
street.
During the day and during the
night seventy officers of the mounted
police make regular rounds among
these men to see that every man Is
on duty and doing his duty. These Of
ficers are the men who do much prob.
ably most, to preserve the high stand
ard of discipline among the men and

To Preserve Cut Flowers,

To keep spray of flowers, us a

sage bouquet, fold towel four double
and wet 1t through with cold water.
On this place the flowers and cover
with washbowl or something sim
liar. Or. put @axed paper under the
towel to save the drip from spelling
things with another piece or two over
the flowers and tucked in under the
bottom piece to make alright. Over
all place a newspaper.
A japanned tin box, such as bOtan-
lists use for collecting, is the best sort
Of cont amer for keeping such flowers
fresh. Lined with waxed paper and
the flowers made moist by water from
an atomiZer, and waxed paper as an
inside cover, the flowers will come
ont as good as new.
Never put newspaper or other alb
sorbent material next to flowers un-
less it is first made dripping wet, as.
if dry, it will absorb the moisture of
the flowers.
The purpose in all this way of keep
ing flowers is to cause the stems to
take up food and drink, to remove
whatever may cause spread of decay,
to give fresh absorbing surface and
to prevent or, at least, lessen eyapo-
ration.

The police of the City of Mexico

city are not hard-worked. At any
time the men are liable to call for
special duty, but their regular work
