An Ideal Young Woman.

A preacher in the mesquite grass
country preached a sermon on the
"Ideal Young Woman" and asked the
young men of the community to furnish
short descriptions of their conception
of the 'ideal." A western cowboy
said: my ideal young woman is a
native. She is a well graded one too.
but not thoroughbred. They take too
much care and are not good rustlers.
She may not have been raised in the
saddle; but she knows enough to tell a
lariat from branding iron. and is the
kind of girl that can get on good
broncho and hold the cutout herd when
your extra cow boy goes back on you
at the last minute. She's got all the
book learning she needs, but don't go
around talking dead languages while
biscuits burn, nor let the chickens
scratch up good garden while she ex-
periments in botany. She knows how
to talk, and does a great deal of it, but
you don't have to put on a jerk line to
get a word in yourself occasionally.
She does not get locoed at the sight of
a cook stove, and it does not take lari-
ats and hobbies to keep her at home
part of the time. She dresses fairly
well, but doesn't blow in every cent
she can get hold of for jingle bobs and
other fixtures, and she does not spend
two hours doing her hair up to look like
water spaniel that Ihas been through
cactus patch when you are in hurry
to go somewhere. That's our ideal
woman!"-People' S, Press.

4 New Phase of
the Siluer Question.


The American Mining congress holds
its twelfth annual session at Goldfield,
Nevada, September 9th to October End,
and proposes to take up discussion of
the silver question, with a view to
bringing about greater use of the
white metal thereby increasing its
price and decreasing the rate of ex-
change with silver using countries.
This phase Of the question is differ
ent from the free silver doctrine of a
few years ago, and becomes an i'm
portant issue at this time, by reason
Of the fact that American manufac-
tured products are in great peril of be-
ing excluded from the silver-using
countries of the Orient and South Amer
lea because of the high rate of ex-
change.
An adjustment of the silver question
therefore, becomes imperative. else
these very desirable markets will be
closed to American Industries.
Moreton Frewen, of London, England,
James J. Hill and John Hays Ham,
mond have been invited to speak on
this subject. Telluride Journal.

Where were they going? She look

She saw boy run out Of a door

note.
She was all prepared for him. She
had taken off her dress and put on
soft wrapper Vt yellow and black. with
her daintiest fimsiest things under
Meath and just a touch Of perfume.
She had let down her thick hair and
left 1t hanging over her shoulders.
Then she had opened bottle CT gold
dust fluid and carefully applied little
dabs of il to her arms and shoulders.
where Il remained In shining blotches.
Poor Jenny! She built such high
hopes upon this primitive ruse of hers,
this trap Of her physical attractions
laid for the man whom she worshiped
and would have served so loyalty and
with devotion that asked so little IN
return. This was what life had
taught her. The dregs through which
she had waded clung to her. She he
lieyed that through them she could
attain her high purpose. for her love
for Philip was high and true. compact
