$500 FOR LETTERS
 ABOUT THE SOUTHWEST.

The Western Trail magazine offers six prizes aggregating in value $500 in railroad transporta- tion for letters from residents of Arkansas, East Colorado, Mis- souri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mex ico.
 It wants letters that will in- duce energetic and ambitious men and women to settle in the great and growing Southwest and there engage in farming, cattle raising, dairying, fruit growing and similar pursuits.
 To accomplish the purpose which it has in view, the Vest ern Trail offers the following prizes in railroad transportation for the six letters which, in the opinion of a competent judge, shall be deemed best, suited to it's requirements:
 First prize, $100 in railroad transportation.
 Second prize, $75 in railroad transportation.
 Third prize, $50 in railroad transportation.
 Fourth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 Fifth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 Sixth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 THE CONDITIONS ARE EASY.
 Letters should deal with tn writer's experiences since he set- tied in the Southwest. They should tell how much money he had when he rived, what he did when he first came. what measure of success has since crowned his efforts and what he thinks of that portion of country in which he is located.
 Letters should not be less than 300 nor more than 1,5O0 words in length, and will be used for the purpose of advertising the South west. Letters are desired not only from farmers and farmers wives, but also from merchants, school teachers, clergymen; from everyone who has a story to tell and who knows how to tell it. Poetical contributions are not wanted.
 All cannot win prizes, but by their contributions they can as- sist the Western Trail in it's ef- forts to colonize and upbuild the Southwest.
 Contest closes June 30, 1905. Prizes will be awarded as soon thereafter as results can be de- termined. Address the Western Trail, 736-744 Van Buren street, Chicago, III.

we were leaving Akron, O., and we
got 1t In one end Of a cage occupied
by a happy family of rabbits coons. a
spotted leopard and a hound dog and
a house cat, The new animal was a
bob cat, such as Roosevelt shoots when
the man has the camera ready to catch
him in the act. Say. but that bob eat
is a terror, and crosser than any ami
nal we got, except the hyenas. The
bob cat Just walked around and snarled
and spit at the happy family through
the bars, and kept them awake all
night on the road, and the happy fam
ily held a sort Of convention and |
could see by the way they all looked
at me that they were passing resolu-
tons inviting me to break up the bob
cat business. The manager Of the
m]enagerie told pa he wished the con-
founded bob cat would escape, cause
he was o blooming nuisance, so |
thought | would help get rid of the
beast, and save the show from dis
grace, So when We got to Oberlin |

going off into a panic when pa and a
few brave men came and drove the
bob cat up a centerpole, away up above
the torches, and made speeches to the
audience, and quoted them down, and
the performance went on, But pa was
a sight, and the head circus man told
pa he would have to dress better, or
forever after hold his peace, and pa
said If any man could be more patient
than he was, with a bob cat on his
neck, a sacred COW walking on him,
and a camel trying to eat his whlskers
and shirt, they better hire that man.
But it was all fixed up and everybody
apologlzed to everybody, and the bob
cat went on up the center pole and out
on top Of the canvas, and escaped
into Ohio, where 1t will probably be
holding Office before next fall.
Gee, but the giant Is a coward.
When the bob cat began to run up the
giants leg, and then up his back, and
then jumped from his shoulder onto
the fat lady, the giant turned pale and

thought that was q pious community
that could stand q wild bob cat, so l
put several sheets of sticky tanglefoot
fly paper in the bob cats cage and
opened the door of the cage, after the
crowd had gone into the main tent 10
the big show, and the %menagerie tent
was empty except the keepers. They
were all asleep under the wagons, and
the animals had all curled down for q
nap and the freaks were on their plat
form lolling around, waiting for the
main show to be out so they could do
their stunts over again,
The bob cat got all his four feet in
the tanglefoot fly paper, then he
grabbed a sheet in his mouth and
rolled over in a few more sheets, ard
when he was entirely harmless and
YOU couldn't tell what he was, | opened
the door of the cage and he went out
like a rocket. and rolled oye a few
times in the sawdust, and then jumped
on the platform with the freaks, ruu
over the fat woman, who was laying
back in a Morris chair, and left one
of the sheets of fly paper OF her low
neck, and it stuck like a porous plas-
ter. She yelled that she had been
stabbed, and pa came along just as
the bob cat jumped of the platform,

cried, and the midget said to him:
20, you big stiff, why didn't you have
sand enough to hold the kitty till the
keeper came? I've a good mind to get
on a stepladder and kick You" and
the cowardly giant cried again, and
said if the midget ever struck him he
would report him to the management
just then pa came along and asked
what the row was about, and when pa
found that the midget was trying to
pick a quarrel with the giant, he took
the midget across his knee and gave
him a few spanks, and told him to quit
bullying the freaks. The midget got
up on a barrel and called his son, who
10 bigger than pa, when | stepped in
between them and told the midget's
son If he struck my father | would
have his hearts blood, and he quailed,
and then | bullied the giant, who is a
coward, and now they are all afraid of
me.
l don't see how a big fellow like a
giant can be afraid Of things smaller
than he is, and shy when a dog banks,
and be afraid some one is going to
smash him in the jaw. but ps says the
size of a man don't make any differ
ence, cause it is the heart that does
the business. A man NAV be biz

and struck pa on the back, and the cat
spit al pa, and pa fell over among the
sacred cattle and rolled under a COW
and got on his knees, when the ami
mails all began to roar, and pa crawled
behind a bale Of hay, and a zebra
stepped on pas face, and pa yelled
Hey, Rube," which is a grand hailing
sign Of distress when circus men want
TO fight, and about a hundred of the
canvasmeu came running with tent
stakes to hit people with.
Pa crawled out from the bale Of hay,
which he had pulled over him, and the
hay stuck to the fly paper on pa, and
a camel began to eat the hay, and he
chewed pas shirt until the hands
pulled pa away.
The bob cat escaped into the main
tent, just as the Japanese jugglers
were juggling In No. 1 ring, and the
elephants were standing on their heads
in No. 2 ring, and the flying trapeze
were jumping from one trapeze
to another, and the bob cat rushed
through the japanese, and amongst the
elephants, with the ay paper all over
him, and the audience fairly yelled,
cause they thought It was a clown
dressed up to do some stunt, but the
Japanese left the ring in a panic. while
the elephants got down off their heads

like children.
