COCKTAIL AT THREE FORKS
Dissection That Was Too Much tor
Cowboys and the Mixer Had
to Drink Il

Il was standing in the barroom In G

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 reputation a.
the top riders Of the country which
stretches away toward the head OF
Willow Creek, came into the saloon
and, marching up to the bar, demand
ed a cocktail
"The bartender looked nonplussed
for a moment, but he was not to be
shut out, so 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 cigarz
which he found in the cigar cutter,
could not see II, and when he had
finally finished he had two big bee
glasses full Of the mixture.
"The boys both tasted the beverage
and It did not taste good. Each had
numbered a 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 poisoner,' 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 tell You. the impromptu bar
tender had good occasion to make his
will. For three or four hours he was
tho sickest man ever saw, and II
took the services of a doctor, who
worked over him Ior an hour or two
to bring him back to life again"

WHEN CLIMBING STAIRS.
Remember the Exercise Is Most Bene-
hcial When the Right Methods
Are Observed.

Stair-climbing can never De made so
easy that it will cease to be work, and
hence a 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 fexors and thigh and knee ex-
tensors, and If judiciously used as
daily exercise 1t 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 gymna7
stun for all such cases.
Second, stair-climbing when done
slowly, becomes excellent balance work
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
weight is lifted from one step to
another by the first leg and then the
other, and this means quite heavy work
at times.
For example, IL you weigh $50 pounds
and with the right foot step up one step
(that step being exactly '12 inches
high, you have lifted your body-weight
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 II inches high, yeu have done
just 1000 foot pounds OF work, good
strong, muscular work that II done we'll
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 a 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 it. You perforce 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 correct and an incor-
rect way Of climbing stairs, a hard
and an easy one, a safe and dangerous
one.

with stealthy elaboration, day after
