A BOYS ESSAY ON HORNETS.

A hornet is the smartest bug that
flies any where He comes when he
pleases, and goes when he gets ready
One way hornet shows his smartness
is by attending to his own business,
and making everything who inter-
feres with him wish they had done
the same thing.
When hornet stings a fellow he
knows it, and never stops talking
about it as long as his friends will
listen to him.
One day hornet stung pa (my pa is
a preacher) on the nose, and he did
not do any pastoral visiting for q
month without talking about the hor.
net.
Another way hornet shows his
s.nartness is by not procrastinating
If he has any business with you he
will attend to it at once, and then
leave you to think it over for your
self. He don't do like the mosquito
who comes fooling around for half an
hour singing "Cousin, Cousin" /" and
then when he has bled you all he can
dash away yelling, ''No kin - A
hornet never bleeds you; but if he
sticks you, you will go off on a
swell.
don't know anything more about
hornets, only that Josh Billings says:

his impreshensuns, and rather hasty

TALK TOO MUCH.

Many people talk too much. AS
an illustration, the deliberations at
the cotton convention in New Orleans,
where bulls and bears were both al
lowed to talk. riminds us of the young
lawyer who defended man for steal
ing a pig from his neighbor. In his
opening speech he announced to the
astonished court that he would first of
all prove that his client never had the
pig; he would mkt prove that he had
ddly bought the pig from his neigh
bor; he would, thirdly, show by unim-
peachable evidence that the neigh
boris pig had of it's own volition wan
dered into his clients yard, and there
after refused to leave it; finally he
would show that the man who claimed
to have had the pig stolen from him
never had pig at all.
We believe it can be shown that a
majority of those who resolved to hold
cotton in the New Orleans meeting
never had any cotton at all. Moo CONT

DOES THIS HIT YOU?

The Courier can demonstrate to a
moral certainty that the man who
patronizes blind tiger is a worse
citizen than the one who sells the
liquor. In the first place, it is de-
grading to any one to have to steal,
and you can't get blind tiger whiskey
without stealing. Secondly, if the
man from whom you got the stuff be-
lieved you an honest, truthful person
he would not let you have it under
any circumstances He has reason to
think you would perjure yourself if
called upon to testify in relation to
this transaction, and you have degra-
ded yourself, even in the estimation
of lawbreaker: and thirdly, IL is q
legal maxim that any one who aids
another in the commission Of crime Is
equal with the principal. Young
man, can yon afford to be thus
judged p Coffeeville Courier.

selves; let them turn to you for the
gentle side.
Try to grasp the fact that to be
termed good fellow" by the men
is no compliment
The best thing about being q wo-
man is the being treated as such by
men.
The ''good fellow" girl misses
many little chivalrious attentions
from men. They respect her to a
certain extent, but they rarely love
her.
1t is the gentle, womanly. feminine
girls who command the truest and
best love from men, because they are
the girls who bring out all that is
best in man, his tenderness, pro.
tectiveness and the desire to do right
AS soon as a man feels that he can
talk to girl just as he would to an
other man he ceases to have any regard
for her.
If woman wants to hold her place
in the world as woman she has got to
live up to mans ideal of her.

VARDAMAN
ON DEATH
Why Should the Living Dread What
Countless Millions Have
Metz

oeath at any stage of life is q
tragedy, whether it comes to the dim
pied babe in its mothers arms, or the
old man who has gone the full length
OF years and tottering, falls by the
wayside. The dread Of death is
somewhat strange to me. Why should
those who live stand in such terrible
fear OF that which all the countless
dead have met, and all who live must
inevitably meet? There is no es-
Gaping it. 1t is as sure as life it
follows as q matter of course. And
after all it is not so bad. Man tolls,
delves and tries to attain to the good
OF his boyhood dreams; ripe apples in
the garden of the future grow In rich
profusion and delight his rosy i'm
aglnation, but ere he reaches his luxu-
RANT orchard he finds the fruit which
tempted his youthful fancy contained
naught but the ashes of disappoint-
ment. 1t is only hope which springs
eternal in the human breast that rem
ders life bearable at all. However
heavy the burden to-day or rugged
the road as we trudge along through
the wilderness, the bright star of hope
bids Us endure and hold on, for surely
we will reach the promise land to-
morrow. That land is never reached
this side Of the grave. AS Moses was
only permitted to view the promised
land from the far off mountain peak,
so it is with man he sees his hopes
realized only from the promontory of
his dreams and aspirations. It is
we'll, for if the hollowness Of what
the world terms success was known to
youth, ambitions would be thrown to
the wind and progress would cease.
Really, there is no greatness and no
reward worth striving for but the
good. Wealth will decay, fortunes
dissolve, empires crumble and worlds
wear themselves to dust, but a good
deed is eternal. The influence will
live and bear fruit as long as God
shall reign. would rather paint the
rose Of hope upon the pallad cheek Of
despair, fill the fainting heart with
courage and brighten life o'erloaded
with care with the rosy tints of con-
tentment and happiness than WELD
the scepter Of empire.

OUR GREAT

My dear reader did you ever think
about what could be your greatest
enemy? or did you know you had an
enemy? If You have not you are one
ont Of thousand Did you know
that your greatest enemy claimed to
be honest? How can he be honest |
He causes many troubles all over the
world, he visits your homes very fre.
quently, he robs you Of your money,
he leaves your gates open, and your
fences down. He creates difficulty
and hardships on you, and yet he is
claimed to be honest. He makes you
disappoint your friends and fail to
discharge your Christian duties; he
makes you grow wicked and violate
the laws Of God and the land, and yet
he is claimed to be honest This
great enemy does not effect all people
alike. Some are very greatly effected
while others are not SO much. Every
body knows his name, and where ever
he is his name is 'carelessness. - He
is your greatest enemy, because he is
with you more than any other, and
may be the only enemy you have. He
is claimed to be honest because you
have no one to blame but yourself. I.
He causes many troubles all over the
world because he is q relative of all
nations. He visits your home quite
frequently because you are easy and
ready to yield; he ,obs you Of your
money because you are wasteful; he
leaves your gates open and your fences
down because your mind is wander.
ing; he makes difficulty and hardships
because he has strong hold on you.
He is called honest because be will do
no harm unless you make him. He
makes you disappoint your friends
and fail to discharge your Christian
duty because the mistakes that he has
made can never be changed; they can
only be excused. He makes you grow
wicked and violate the laws of God
and man because you have but little
love for God and mankind.

FOR CATTLE
Comparison Of Results by a Cattle
Feeder-A Very Valuable
Food for Cattle.

M. n French, cattle salesman al
the stockyards at Fort Worth, Texas,
relates his experience in the feeding
OF ration having molasses as one OF
It's ingredients. He says:
"J. p. French s. Son have been
using molasses in their feeding at
Temple for three years, and the result
OF their experience is to convince them
OF the good effects of it. Three years
ago they fed 800 cattle ON ration of
meal, hulls and molasses, and another
bunch on the same proportion of meal
and hulls without molasses. The
bunch on meal and hulls were fed 100
days. After so days one of them
showed the effect of the meal, and
after 107 days 10 of them began to go
backward. The gain of this bunch in
I2O days was but little more than 800
pounds per head. OF those fed with
meal, hulls and molasses, none show
ed any bad effect from the meal. At
the end of their feeding we found the
following gains: Five hundred and
fifty head gained 347 pounds, 200 head
gained 356 pounds, and 100 head gain
ed 800 pounds. They were all sold
together, SO that we could not tell
whether the molasses steers sold any
better than the others.
The next year we fed $50 head,
900 with molasses and $50 on the same
ration with the molasses left out.
These cattle were all of the same
brand and all looked alike. The ad-
vantage in point of gain was in favor
of the molasses fed steers, about the
same as the year before. This time
they were sold separately, and the
molasses steers brought 20 cents more
per 100 than the others
"J. P. French q Son now have on
feed 800 steers, ana profting by ex-
perience, all of them are getting mo-
lasses. Not only do they put on
more flesh and sell for more per 100,
but They are cleaner and smoother.
We find, too, that the molasses holds
the feed together. On windy day
more or less of the meal and hulls is
generally blown away, but when
mixed with molasses it is not lost that
way.
'The cattle now on feed will aver.
age about 1, 400. Some of them will
be at the Fort Worth Fat Stock
Show
In addition to French & Son, others
are feeding molasses to stock for ex.
hibition at the Fat Stock Show.
Among these are j. F. Hovenkamp,
Charles E. Hicks. Col. III. G. Hollo-
I way, Sterling CLARK, Swenson Bros. 7,
D. f. SAMSON & Co., and Tom Slack
Colonel Wade Hampton, who intro
duced the blackstrap here, is feeding
hogs for the show.

ADVICE TO YOUNG GIRLS

Girls, l want to give you a little
sisterly advice on the subject of tel.
|ling stories and jokes that are not
nice.
In the first place let me tell you
that it never pays to tell man stories
that are either vulgar or nasty.
He may laugh and cap your story
one better, but in his heart he will be
thoroughly disgusted.
What is the use being girl if you
can't keep your self dainty and clean
and pure-minded?
Men are necessarily brought in
contact with much that is sordid, and
for that very reason they like fol
their kind to be above re-
proach.
Nothing g more disinchanting
than to hear vulgar remark from
the Hips or sweet-looking young
girl.
Girls have got the idea into their
heads that to tell risque stories aud
scoff at things sacred makes them
appear worldly and wise, whereas, it
does nothing of the sort; it merely
rubs the bloom off their girlhood and
makes them appear ignorant and ill.
bred.
Ignorance is not innocence, you
know. for to be innocent means to be
pure minded. and girl may be ig-
norant of much and yet put what
little knowledge she has got to igno
Bile use.
1t is just as bad to repeat these
stories to your girl friend as to the
men.
When girls talk in this way i
gives them distorted, ugly view Of
life that is all wrong.
Don't get into the habit Of seeing 8
double meaning in everything that il
said. Cultivate your minds to Sc,
the pare and good side OF thing
rather than the impure and bad.
If you want men to like you 30 q
unmasculine as you can. They SCI
all the rough side Of life among them
