Hank and | stood on the depot
platform watching the passengers
arrive. Great guns!" exclaimed
Hank, "look at the chap with the
alfalfa on his mug! Amt he cute?"
By doggie but he was big
cuss! He had little dabs of whisk-
ers on each side of his face, and a
scattered bunch on his upper lip
like the whiskers on a prairie dog.
| knew as soon as I threw eyes on
him that he must have pedigree
about mile long. His head was

a grizzly bear, and laughing blue
eyes that looked at you friendly
and straight.
"My name is Hamlin, Thomas
Hamlin," said he as he approached
and offered to shake hands,.
"Same to you," said I; "my
name is Bub." and I showed out
my paw. Jumping jehovah! He
had grip on him like the friction
clutch on steam engine, and he
put my hand out of commission for
some time to come. But did not
let on. ] knew what was in store
for Hank; so swallowed hard and
watched events. When he got a
good grip on Hanks hand, I could
see him vince. This tickled me
plum down to the ends of my
boots. Hank dearly loved to get
a grip on mans hand and then
see how many kinds of shapes he
could squeeze it into.
Now" said the stranger, II
want you fellows to call me Tom;
just drop the mister and I will call
you fellows Bub and Hank. I do
not want to stay in town; I want
to get out in the sagebrush. Do
either of you boys know where I
can get board on ranch?"
"Well, 1 got a tepee down here
that is big enough for three" said
Hank; "why not come out thereY'
"That is just the thing replied
the stranger. 81 will hire some
one to take my stuff out and then
1 will join you and walk out to the
place." While going out he told
as how he had become sick of
studying at college, and that he
wanted an opportunity to recuper-
ate. When his things arrived at
the ranch, Hank wanted to know
what that small house with the
strap buckled around it was.
"Why," said Tom, ''that is my
trunk"
"Great Scott!' exclaimed Hank,
"if you put window or two in it
you would have a bigger shack
than mine. We will sure have
to take the roof off to get that in. "
While Tom was seeing to the
unloading of bis things Hank
took me to one side and wanted to
know what that bootleg full of um-
brella handles was for.

success without getting the big

CURING DisTEMPER.
How This infectious Disease Should
BE Dealt With.

Distemper is an infectious disease
and can be prevented IL the quarters
are kept free from the infection. Wash.
Ing the trough with soft soap suds or
carbolic acid solution twice each
month, whitewashing the stall at least
once each month and occasionally
scrubbing the floors of the stalls are
measures which will generally prevent
an outbreak. In addition to this the
animal should have an abundance of
exercise and pure air. 1t is known that
an animal which is allowed the run of
pasture is not so liable to the dis.
ease as one which is confined to
the stalls in a poorly ventilated barn.
II the disease is light, 1t need not be
the cause Of any particular alarm, as
