COCKTAIL AT THREE FORKS
Detection That Was Too Much for
Cowboys and the Mixer Had
10 Drink It

Il was standing In the barroom In q
resort at Three Forks" said travel
ing man, waiting for the proprietor
to arrive, In the hope of placing .
small order. While I was waiting,
two cowboys, wrapped in fur coats.
their own dignity and q reputation as
the top riders Of the country which
stretches away toward the head OF
Willow Greek, came into the saloon
and, marching up to the bar, demand
ed q cocktail
THE bartender looked nonplussed
for q moment, but he was not to be
shut out, 30 he grabbed the biggest
glass he could find behind the bar and
Immediately got busy. II there was
anything there he missed putting into
that glass. from the Rlt and pepper
sauce used TO flavor the beer, to the
snippIngs from the ends Of the cigars
which he found in the cigar cutter, l
could not see Il, and when he had
finally finished he had two big beer
glasses full Of the mixture.
THE boys both tasted the beverage,
and II did not taste good. Each had
unlimbered big gun and, playfully
toying with the weapons, they sug-
gested that the bartender drink his
own mixture. II required some per-
suasion, but finally, to avoid trouble.
he swallowed the contents OF both
glasses. Now, make your will. you
would-be polsoner,' shouted the punch
ers, and solemnly they put their guns
back where they belonged, treated the
house to the cigars and faded away
into the distance. their horses hitting
only the high spots as they disap-
peared up the valley.
"And I tell YOU. the impromptu bar
tender had good occasion to make his
will. For three or four hours he was
the sickest man I ever saw, and 1t
took the services Of a doctor, who
worked over him for an hour or two,
to bring him back to life again"

THE FUR-LINED oVERcoAT.
Dressy Gentleman VIII Garry the
Garment Inside Out on
His Arm.

The precise and high-priced tailor
drew q chalk picture on the customer
who was trying on" relates the Prov
idence Journal, stuck three pins In
him and said:
The most radical change in gar
ments for gentlemen for winter wear
this year will come In the fur-lined
oVercoat We have been driven to It
BY q detachable fur collar which has
made its appearance and which can be
fastened on to the permanent collar
Of a SIS ready-msde topcoat In q way
that viii puzzle an expert to detect its
on and on features. OF course, that
kills the fur collar for the riA and
'dressy' gentleman who has q genuine
fur coat. We shall make the collar Of
the expensive coat Of the same ma
terial as the cloth Of the coat, or Of
velvet, cut q little wider than the col
lar Of the ordinary coat
"And NUNS viii not be sewed on the
sleeves Of the frst-class fur-lined coat
this season. They were always sug-
gestive Of the crushed tragedian."
How win people know that 'dressy'
and wealthy gentlemen have fur-lined
ooatsf" inquired the custodian, anxi-
ously.
They win carry them inside out on
their arms" replied the precise tailor.

WHEN CLIMBING STARS.
Remember the Exercise Is Most Bene-
Acial When the Right Methods
Are Observed.

Stair-climbing can never De made 30
easy that 1t will cease to be work, and
hence q certain amount Of 1t daily is sure
to be beneficial, says Mary Butler, in the
Philadelphia Press.
First, stair-climbing Is fine exercise
for the muscles Of the legs, both for
the high hexors and thigh and knee ex-
tensors, and If judiciously used as q
daily exercise It will tend to develop the
muscles Of the leg and thigh, reducing
at the same time any superhuous flesh
that may have settled there through
lack Of proper use. Hence we use lad
der-climbing exercises In the gymna-
stun for all such cases.
Second, staiT-climbing when done
and is good for the brain. To increase
this mental effect In the gymnasium we
use ladder rounds instead Of steps and
the slower a pupil can walk up the
finer the balance and the stronger the
desired effect.
Third, stair-climbing is good work
for heart and lungs; weak hearts may
be strengthened by judicious lessons in
It, no other apparatus being necessary
than ones own footsteps.
In all stair or ladder work the weight
Is not only transferred from one foot to
the other in succession more or less rap
i'd, as In the walk, but the whole body
another by the first leg and then the
other, and this means quite heavy work
at times.
For example, II you weigh $50 pounds
and with the right foot step up one step
Chat step being exactly II inches
high, you have lifted your lightweight
Of $50 pounds exactly one foot higher;
or, as we say, you have done $50 foot
pounds" of work. II the step chances
to be "A inches high, then having lifted
yourself two feet you have done
twice as much work, or 300 foot
pounds.
Thus, when you, weighing Just 100
pounds, climb ten stairs, each step
only IL inches high, yeu have done
Just 1000 foot pounds Of work, good
strong, muscular work that II done well
will surely do you good and If done bad
ly may injure.
Do you stout ladies wonder any long
er at your breathless condition when
after eating hearty dinner you climb
to the third-story front room to take
your afternoon nap? Do you not see
that with every step you must do from
one-haf as much again to twice as
much work as your wiry little neigh
Dor?
You have no right to run up Just be-
cause you can trip up one fight and
not feel 1t. You perforee must take
1t slowly and should rest after each
fight Of steps, at least till the breath
ing becomes quiet and regular once
more.
Believe me, instead Of being bad for
you, stair-climbing taken slowly and
properly will do you good, strength
ening the muscles Of legs, abdomen and
spine, stimulating the heart and lungs,
clearing the brain, aiding the circula-
ton and thus improving the digestion:
but there is a correct and an incor-
rect way Of climbing stairs, q hard
and an easy one. a safe and dangerous
one.

DOG PROUD OF CLOTHES.
Canine That Il Very Much Dis
tressed When Deprived Of
Correct Apparel.

There Is q dog In Augusta who
dresses Just like q man, wearing the
regulation coat, vest, collar and eraVat
and Is very proud Of his apparel, seem
ingly, being very much distressed and
ashamed whenever his busy master
does not have time to rig him up IN
his clothes, reports the Augusta (Ga-)
Chronicle.
eff there are any who are "from
Missouri" they may be satisfied oy
calling at a blacksmith shop on Ellis
street. near the city hall, where they
can be introduced to him by his mas
ter, George Bailey, q negro employe Oh
the smithy.
He wears them with a conscious dig
nifty and is hugely delighted when any
one stops to notice his attire and COM
ment thereon. He will gaze intently
at each speaker and joyously wag his
tail when complimented upon his ap-
pearance.
II is not known what within induced
the blacksmith to thus clothe his ca
nine pet 'in all points like as we are"
But he certainly devised the dogs
dress most ingeniously. No detail Is
wanting. The cut Of his coat is after
the latest mode-has pockets, too
the collar is nicely Numbered and the
cravat is tied with correct smartness.
The first thing In the morning he
must be properly dressed, or else he
vhines piteously. After he has been
clothed according to his usual custom
his Joy knows no bounds, and he dis
plays his pleasure with much bark
ing and wagging Of his tail. He has
the utmost contempt for the host OF
naked dogs who roam about the street
and absolutely refuses to associate
with them, manifesting a spirit Of out
ragged indignation at their immod-
esty.

THE CIVILIZATION OF THE ANc-
TENT EGYPTIANS.

Last Sunday afternoon, the writer
delivered his lecture on The Civiliza-
ton of The Ancient Egyptians be-
fore the Literary and Historical socie-
ty of Bethel church.
Prior to referring to our introduc-
tory remarks or the main subject we
urged upon those who were under the
sound of our voice to cultivate the
habit of buying and reading the lit
erary productions Of Afro-American
authors and that it was the duty Of
the literary society of Bethel to &C
ouire a number of such works and
rent them out to the members Of the
church and those surrounding 1t for
Is to rs cents per month; that by In
ducing our boys and girls as well as
the older members of the race to IA
miliarize themselves with the writings
or the works Of its authors would in
still into their minds, higher ideals
and a greater amount of race love.
That it would deter them from rae
ing the streets at unseeming hours Of
the night and frequenting vile dens
of vice. THAT good books are an
index to the character Of men and
women"
At the conclusion Of our address
which seemed to be highly appreciat-
ed. Col. Allison W. Sweeney recited
one of Cooper's poems, and Rev. A.
]. Carey very ably and eloQuently dia-
lated on our lecture.
The following letter indicates that
our weak effort In celebrating on the
wonderful achievements and the high
state of civilization attained by the
Ancient Egyptians" has born fruit.
