Why Letters Are UnWritter,

Why not keep up writingdesk sup
plies just as conscientiously as those
for the pantry? asks a writer. Few
households would get along a week
without sugar, salt or soap, yet how
many letters are unanswered for the
lack of a good pen. a stamp or an en-
velope? 1t is not the expense, but
lack of thought, that keeps an INSULT
cient or meager supply of the neces-
sary articles on hand.

The Face and the Emotions.

Habitual worry shows itself in the
action of the facial nerve-the nerve
Of expression, as anatomists call it
producing lines which in course OF
time become permanent. The same
is true of many other emotions and
states of mind; and those which are
dominant in the life of the individual
will ere long produce permanent
changes in the face The secret of the
beauty which age cannot wither is to
possess a beautiful mind, chin-straps
and depi1atories and electricity and
massage and cosmetics are poor make
shifts compared with this.

"Tom" Moore's Birthday.

auspices of the St. Patricks So

cieties of Greater New York took
part in the exercises.
II was considered fitting that the
celebration should be held by the
st. Patrlck's society, as on May 2S
1879, the centenary of Moore's birth
day, his bust, which was set up by
the society, was unveiled
For some years following II was
the custom OF the society and rs
friends TO visit the garden, place q
wreath on the bust, and hold exer
cises OF some kind. In recent years
this has not been done, but at the

would have little chance in destroy
ng the big herds that afe ranging
over the Western States.
Within the last few yelrf the herls
have increased to sucn an extent thai
in many localities they are classcd as
"varmints," with woIyes, VIA cats
and grizzlies, and every MAJ rifle
is turned against them. No fence IL
strong enough 10 stop these lorses,
and when they appear in force they
have even been known to knock d0wu
and kill cows and calves. After each
visit from the herd the ranchman is
likely to mourn the loss of his dom
esuf horses, and it requires only a
few days association with their new
companions for the best broken ami
mails TO become as wild as their no
madic comrades.
\ study Of the wild horse problem
brings to light many interesting facts
about the animals. The legislature of
Nevada, It seems, passed a law many
years ago specifically allowing hunt
ers to shoot wild horses and to sell
their hides for what they could get
in the open market. The law opened
the way 10 a new and unusual indus
/ try and many men found the killing
of wild horses very profitable. BE
sides the work was exciting and gave
the business the added zest of sport
As the time went on and the killing
of these outlaws (as the wild hors
es were often termed) on the range
assumed greater and greater proper
tions, stockmen found that the pro
fessional hunters were in many cases
abusing their rights and were killing
branded and shod horses. This pa
an end to the business for on com
plant OF the stockmen the Nevadi
legislature promptly repealed the law
1t is estimated that $4,000 animal
were killed in the time that the Law
was In force

HUNTING THE WILD HORSES
THE NoMADlc HERDS A MENACE
TO THE WESTERN RANGES

Wild horses by the thousands are
overrunning the Government Nation
al forests of Nevada and neighboring
states, and the authorities in Wash
irgton are beseiged with petitions
from stockmen and farmers begging
them to put stop to the nuisance.
a recent dispatch from Reno, New,
conveying the intelligence that there
are $4,000 OF the untamed beasts upon
the Toyiabe, Toquina and Monitor for
est reserves in LandOr county
alone, and that orders have be"u re-
ceivod by the forest rangers to begin
a systematic war OF determination up-
on them.
This dispatch, although twisted as
60 facts. does not eXaggerate the num-
Der OF horses now supposed to be
roaming at large in the districts men
toned. AS a matter OF probab.,
there are good many more than l5,'
900 wild horses in Nevada and the
neighboring states, and every herd Is
pest to the owners OF vegetation
and domestic stock.

is not true is that relating to the
orders sent from Washington. Nei
