The Flirtinu Widow.

Jock Anderson was industriousiy
wooing a wealthy widow, who was
fair, fat, and forty, with every prospect
of successful issue, for his affections
were abundantly returned. But in an
evil moment one of Jocks chums
mentioned that a gentle hint, suggest
Ing Irritation on the part of the lady,
would constitute a piece of irresistible
fiattery This idea Jock put immedi.
ately into practice by writing a long
amorous letter which, no doubt, would
have captured both the widow and her
money had he punctuated properly.
This is the sentence that settled
poor Jocks chance:
Il consider you brutal and jealous
though you may fancy me little ad'
dicted to flirting
On perusing the above sentence the
widow Immediately visited Jock; she
stormed at him, swore at him, and
eventually swooned. Jock explained,
and punctuated the Objectionable sen.
tence with tadpoles, making it read:
II consider you, brutal and jealous
though you may fancy me, little ad.
dicted to flirting"
But nothing could induce the widow
to see aught but slight on herself
and her stoutness, punctuate as he
would.
The widow is no longer a widow,
but. alas! Jock is not her husband.

When the Danes Were Skinned.

In former times the Danes used to
sail up the mouths of the English riv.
ers to p.llage the churches When
they were caught they were skinned
and their skins nailed to the door of
the church they attacked. IL course
of time all the exposed portions would
peel off. but that covered by the nail
would be protected and thus bear teS-
timony to the cruelty of the ancient
Englishmen In the London College
of Surgeons may be seen three speci-
mems of human skin bearing labels
such as this: Portion of human skin
said to be that of Dane from the
door of a church at Hadstock, in Es-

VIII Kansas Stand This.

The Wichita Eagle rises from
it's eyric and screams wrathfully
in a new defense of Kansas. This
time no political venom drips
from it's talons, its provocation is
of different, and perhaps juster
nature. The militant editor has
discovered that the geography
studied by the pupils of the Kan
sas public schools until they en-
ter the seventh grade, contains
the name Kansas only twice
once on the cover where the
word Kansas Edition. glare
forth and again on the map
where it is associated with the
names of several other states.
That is bad enough. the Eagle
declares, but here is what rank
les. In describing the section
of the United States in which
this retangle of paradise bearing
the name Kansas is situate,
the geography says:
There is belt of high pla-
teau east of the Rocky mountain
foothills, stretching from Texas
to North Dakota, which has very
little rain, not enough to make
grain grow profitable. so it is de-
voted to grazing. Where the
buffalo once fed in countless
mum bers, now Craze thousands
of cattle. A stranger would think
these tireless plains quite un-
suited for cattle they seem so
brown and bare: but the low,
sur-dr1ed glasses are wonder
fully sweet and nourishing
In many cases the herds are
small and are kept in fenced
fields as in New England and the
middle states; but sometimes the
cattle are in immense herds and
feed upon great tracts of I'M
fenced land, where it is neces-
sary for men to watch and care
for them. These herders are
called COW boys. The COW boys
almost live in the saddle. They
wear overalls of leather and big,
wide brimmed hats, carry large
revolvers and use big spurs on
their long boots. They endure
rough fare; hard work and all
kinds of exposure to the weather
They become so hardened that
they can live in tent all winter
and think it very comfortable.
They can sleep on the ground
beside herd of believing, noisy
cattle, and make their home for
days under a tree. Cow boys
receive about $40 a month for all
this hard work.
Shades of Coburn, what de-
