Boni Was Pickins-

Count Boni was a highroller and Ger.
tainly gave the Gould family a run for
their money. When the Count Boni
de Castellane consented to marry the
plebian daughter of an American rail
road magnate it was only on condition
that he be handed a huge wad of the
mazuma. The bargain was made and
Anna got the title-for twenty millions.
A few years later the countess and her
husband appeared in New York-hat
broke-and touched papa for another
generous chunk OF the root. Now comes
the diyorce-and the incidental infor-
nation that the coin secured at the
second touch is not only gone, but Boni
is something like three million in the
red.
Boni didn't car a continental for ex-
.penses so long as his wife footed the
bills-he wasn't a piker by adamsite-
and when he gave a favorite a present
1t was generally a necklace that set
Anna back anywhere from ten to TWEEN
ty thousand plunks. He also worked a
minor graft by buying coats for him
self of the value of ten thousand
francs and arranging with the tailor to
put ninety thousand in the pockets
making the bill for his wife to settle
an even undred thousand. As long as
his wife's money lasted. Boni was far
from being a tightwad-he was Pick.
.ins.
Without the Gould millions behind
him, Boni will not be deuce high, and
its dollars to doughnuts he's had his

ALL FEAR THIRTEEN
COMMON SUPERSTITION IS AN
OLD ONE.
Practically all Nations are United In
-Their Dread of That Number-ldea
Strengthened by the Fate of Nat
thew Arnold. :.

BY some persons of nearly all nat
ionalities the number thirteen is re-
garded with superstitious fear. At
has just granted permission to a
householder to change the number of
her dwelling place from 10 to 12A, so
many and diverse havd been the ills
which the lady traces to the fatal
number. Paris will not have the
number for any of its houses. Paris
ians so hate the thirteen party for
dinner that there is a class of profess
ional diners-out, called "quartorzien-
res" whose function it is to make the
fourteenth at these symposia. The
Turks so dislike it that the word is
practically~expunged from their Ian
guage; the Italians will not ever EN-
ploy it in their lotteries. The Italian
gamblers horror of the number pro
ceeds, apparently, from the fact that
a thirteenth card of one of his packs
bears the figure of death.
In England the superstition that
one of a company of thirteen must die
within the year is traced to the old
calculation of the insurance ofdces
that out of thirteen persons, taken in
discriminatory, N will die within
twelvemonths. Others trace the W
in which the figures are held to the
last supper, at which thirteen were
present. Lord Lytton dealt with this
aspect, r%emarking, Some have car
ried it to the extent of disliking that
number at all times, but the common
er form limits it to Friday" But the
a%utipathy is older than Christianity.
In the old Morse mythology the thir-
cen party was deemed unIucky, be,
cause, at II banquet in valhalla. Loki
once appeared, making thirteen, and
Balder was slain by the blind go,.
Holder, at the i~nstigation of the intru-
der.
In fostering this superstition the
c%redulous find themselves in good
company. The question was sprung
upon a dinner party at the home of
the famous artist Millais, where they
suddenly found themselves thirteen
strong. One of them was Mortified at
the discovery. THE idea is" said
Matthew Arnold. that whoever
leaves the table first will die within
a year, so, with the permission of the
ladies, We will cheat the fates for
once. l and these two fine, strong
young lads will rise together, and |
think our united constitutions will be
able to withstand the assault of the
reaper" They got up and no more
was thought about it.
Six months later Arnold died IN the
prime of life. One of the two men
whom he had called upon to rise from
the table with him was found shot
dead in his bed in a New York MOTEL.
The third did seem likely to outlive
the year. He had gone to Australia
for the benefit of his health. But for
the homeward journey he took pas
sage by the Quota. And that ship
foundered among the reefs of New
Guinea.

The current issue of Suggestion, a
magazine of the new psychology for
thinkers, discusses health without
drugs, auto-suggestion, the law of men
tai suggestion, mind power, suggestive
therapeutics and allied subjects; it
tells how to live without drugs and
without grumbling; how to break I'M
desirable habits and how to form good
ones, and how to be happy, successful
and prosperous. The magazine is OPP
timistic, and teaches that man has suf-

The Republican believes the move
ment OF the local building and loan as
ISOLATION toward a more liberal policy
with borrowers is the right and proper
thing. However, let it at all times be
understood that the borrower must
give ample security for the loan asked.
The proposed bylaw whereby borrow
ers building homes may have the mon
ey paid to them as the building pro-
crosses would appear to be a perfectly
safe plan. A building association ought
to have for its main object the aid of
those who are constructing homes. The
borrower as well as the lender must
nave some rights.

A special from Cheyenne says trout
are biting well, and al item in a Chey-
enne paper says that the trout caught
from Granite springs reservoir are not
good eating. OF course there are men
who think trout fishing is good when
they can sit on the bank and catch
them with bait, but the true sportsman
can see little enjoyment in catching a
trout with anything but an artificial fly.

THE
STOCK SHOW
BENEFIT DERIVED FROM DENVER
EXHIBIT OF CATTLE AND
SHEEP FROM WYOMING.
Plenty of Good Live stock in State,
and This Years Show Should
Stimulate to Greater Efforts for
Next-Some Interesting Letters
Along the Fat Stock Line.

Prof. G. d. Morton. of the animal hus-
bandry department of the experiment
station has the following in the current
number of the Ranchman's Reminder:
AT last the Rocky Mountain region
has a live stock show of its own, CEN
trally located, and held at a time OF the
year when good fat stuff can be shown.
There is plenty of good live stock i'll
Wyoming, and it ought to appear at
Denver next year. In preparing for the
big shows, one must begin a year before
the show. Now is the time to decide in
what classes you want to exhibit next
year. Pick your stuff, and plan to have
it in the very best of shape by January,
1907. Write to w. S. Guilford, Denver,
Colo, for a last years catalogue, and so
become acquainted with the classiica-
tons.
1t will be worth the while of every
western stockman to help the Denver
show in every way possible. The show
stands not merely for the distribution
Of money prizes among winners-it
stands for better live stock and for a
western market for that stock.
All exhibitors must be members OF the
Western Live Stock Show Association.
Annual membership costs S., with S.
yearly dues. Life membership costs $50,

our readers will undoubtedly be inter
estcd, they are published:
Western Live Stock Show Association,
DENVER, Colo, Feb. IS, 1906.
DEAR SIR ;-Grcat interest having been
aroused in the Western Live Stock
Show by the pronounced success of the
exhibit just closed, a meeting of all
interested was called during the week
OF the show, when it was decided to
form a permanent organization to be
known as the Western Live Stock Show
Association. The temporary ~organiza-
ton was continued until a permanent
one could be perfected. A committee on
membership was appointed and members
are being solicited. The fee for an an
nual membership was fixed at S., with
an annual due of S., making the cost for
the first year $40, and S. for each year
thereafter. A life membership fee of
$50 was established. A life member
pays no dues and the $50 represents the
total cost.
1t is evident that great advantages to
the stock interests of the west will follow
the continuation of this show as an an
nual exhibition. If we can secure a
strong membership roll, we have reason
to believe hat we can arrange for proper
accommodations for the exhibition, and
we address this to you in hope that you
will subscribe for a life membership, or
at least.an annual membership, and thus
lend four assistance to this enterprise.
We enclose blanks and would ask that
you also interest your neighbors and
send us the names as soon as possible.
Very truly yours,
