ave are not much of sport" says a
Kansas editor, "but when we reach a
cinch along the road we recognize it.
We made the following bargain with a
friend yesterday: We were to stand at
a given point for half an hour and watch
the ladies who passed. For every lady
who reached her hand back to see ifher
skirt was gaping or tucked her belt We
were to receive a nickel. For everyone
who failed TO do SO We were to give a
dime. We got sixty-two nickels from
him and gave him dime-a lady with
both arms off came walking along"

stockmen are Well Pleased.

While efforts are being made to Sc
cure suspension Of the cattle dipping
regulations in South Dakota for this
year, says report from Pierre, there is
general movement 20 comply with the
dipping law of the last legislative ses-
sion, all but few counties having Sc.
lected their inspectors, under the pro-
visions Of the law. In some quarters
there is complaint in regard to the pro-
visions of that bill, but it does not come
! from the sections of the state where dip
ping was practiced last season.
Stockm who have tried the plan an.
nounce their intention TO dip their cat.
| tie every season regardless of regnla
tions from this time on. The dipping
kills lice and other vermin and allows
the cattle to get a better start in the
spring, than where the vermin are moi
removed.
Several stockmen who tried it last year
say the difference in growth of the cattle
| in one season between those which were
dipped and those which were passed
more than paid for the expense of the
dipping, and they will keep it up righ
along as paying business proposition.

The Lion. and the Lamb.

Some 800 years ago King James I. of
England visited the lions then kept in
London Tower, the show from which Is
derived "the lions" In the sense of the
sights Of place, The king had had an
arena built on to their cages for fights
with bears, dogs and bulls, but the two
lions that entered it on this day simply
stood blinking. Two racks of mutton"
and "a lusty live cock" were success
sively thrown to them and devoured.
AFTER this the king caused live lamb
to be easily let down unto them by q
rope. and being come to the ground the
lamb lay upon his knees, and both the
lions stood In their former places and
only beheld the lamb, but presently
the lamb rose up and went unto the
lions, which very gently looked upon
him and smelled on him without sign
of any further hurt" However, lion

the trunk of his elephant and said:
"Bundara, l have been disgraced be-

The pair fed afar. Sometimes they

AT the end Of the third day Bundara

elephants. He had told his story well.
Three days later all were at work on
the banks of the river, fifty miles
above the bridge. The waters were
rising, but Nassik knew to an inch
how high they would come before

ginning to recede. Under his direc-
lions the elephants began work Such
trees as they could uproot and such
logs as they could roll, together with
thousands of carloads Of smaller stuff,

miles. For half mile back the forest
was stripped Of limbs and vines and
logs, and the labor was finished two
days in advance.

Cap'n Obadiah and Doc Lavender
stood like two old fools and gaped at
her. They forgot who they was and
where they was and what they was dom
They almost forgot to breathe. All they
knew was that they was lookin' at some
thing beautiful, beautiful; something
they never had seen before; something
they never would see again.
Presently she held out her hands to

you to be my friendsl'
They walked along the road together
the two old men and the angel. The
woman was silent, like great love Deep
down in the men something was bubbl1ng,
bubbling. 1t was reverence white,
God-created reverence. And so they
came to the town.
They stopped at Mis- Hackett's gate,
where Miss Rhetta lived. Miss Rhetta
thanked them and smiled and, with the
tremb1in' still in her eyes, went into the
house
For a second Cap'n Obadiah looked
at Doc Lavender, and Doc Lavender
looked at Cap'n Obadiah. Then they
crept away, tiptoin', like the preacher
was sayin' Dust to Dust" Silently
they shuffled up the street, keePin

afraid of the shadders, to the tavern.

young man drivin' looked down. Their
eyes met. The young man looked away
quickly. The spray of aPple-blossoms

clinged to the rail, her face as white as her
dress, her hand pressed against her bosom,
sob in her eyes.
Cap'n Obadiah and old Doc Lavender
stood in the middle of the road, starin'
after the buggy. At bend in the pike
the young man turned and looked back.
His lips were close pressed, his face was
pale. The dust was trailin' behind him. A
tree by the roadside slipped in between.
He was out of sight.
Then they looked at Miss Rhetta. She
was lookin' at them. Her head was poised
proudly; on her cheeks were two spots
like she'd pressed some apple-blossoms
against them and they'd stuck there.
Her bosom heaved with deep breaths.
She kept constantly moistenin her ivid
lips. Her eyes were on fire, but in them,
way down deep, something seemed to
tremble-tremble like the voice of a
child in the dark Then the fire spread
from her eyes to her face, into every curl
of her hair, into every supple muscle: fire
in every drop of her blood, fire through
and through blaze of glory. The very
day was changed; there seemed to be
cloud over the sky. The ripples on the
