it Surprised the Yankee but Tickled
the Cowboys.
The stranget from Massachu
setts who entered a little cowboy
town in Texas at the close of an
intensely hot day recently, wore a
high silk hat of the latest fashion.
Hlestrode down Main street with a
sweet smile playing over his fair
countenaUce and his cane cutting
the air like the rapier of a Frenchi
duelist. He stoppe:1 half way down
the street to wvatch the galhols of
a herd of Texas steers. While
thus engaged a gang of cowboys,
who were passing on the other side
(%f the street, caught sight of the
high hat.
'hiello,' said one of the becf-teas
ers, 'there's a dude!'
'Yea,' replied a companion, 'anid
I'll bet drinks for the crowd that I
can put a hole through the dicer
at the first shot.'
The wager was taken. and as cow
boy No. 2 dIrew his fifteen inch re
volver and aimed it at the hat;
there was an ominous silence and'
the young man from Massachui-I
setts still gazed with interest at the
antics of the cattle.
'Bang! zip)!' The wager' has won.
The bullet made a huge aperture~
through the polished hat, while its
nearer, who had read much of
Texas desperation and mu rderer's,
dashed away like a runaway horse.
Hie thoght the Texans were shoot
ing to kill.'
'Hii. there, stranger! Hold on!
Stop !'velled the cowboys, anmd fear
ing a volley from behind, the Yan
kee halted and threw up his hands.
As the cowboys advanced, the
one who made the successful shot
remarked to the frightened fellow
in a matter-of-fact way:
'What,d yer run for? I won the
bet, and as sure as h-i, partner,
you're on this rounds of drinks, be
cuz you was a party to the trants
action.' Then they irrigated, but
it took two weeks for the man of
culture to regain his healthy color.

the sir face.
What an Old Man Has Noticed.
I have noticed that all men are
honest when well watched.
I have noticed that diamonds,
silks, furs, broadeloths, gold watch
es and chains are often- bought with
other people's money.
That there is more gratitude in
dogs than there is in men.
That purses will hold nickles as
well as gold.
That mock philanthropy is like
giving a mermaid a pair of boots.
That sealskin saques and fine jew
elry win more women than youth
and beauty.
That the most enduring love is
that of a mother for her children.
That nearly every office-seeker
is the right man in the right place.
That christians, Moh am medans,
Jews and Infldels, all woiship one
god. It is spelled G 0 L ).
That he that takes a bad woman
)y her word and an eel by its tail
wnay be considered to hold not hing.
That most men choose a wife as
a child does a doll, no matter if the
head is filled with sawdu4t.
That poverty is the wo:'st bnneir
a man can put up.
That life is too short to give
young men advise as to who they
should marry.
That a handsome widow should
I)e married, buried or put into a
conx ent.
I have noticed that the absent
one is always in the wrong.
1[Y SHEi HAL No FUR.-The
p)rettiest girl at a Saucelito picnic
the other day was observed to act
in a most inexplicable manner.
She peremptorily refused to danca,
swing, or climb the roeks after
ferns. Ltter in the day she was
foun(d by another girl we'eping bit
terly under a hush.
'What on earth's the matter,
G ussie?'
'Wth you see, Sophy,' sobbod
the weper. 'I can't have a good
time. nor enjoy myself a bit. I
started off in such a hurry thisl
morning that 1 forgot to p)ut on mys
other stockings.'
Thuks 'conscienee dloth make cow -
ardis ot uis all,' etc.
said a young wife to her husband,j
who had :alrea~dy fallen into thie
habit of going to the lodge in the
evening, and whod was just pr'epar
ing to go out, 'I am going u p streett
to interview the suin liItendenL'It of
the postoffice thuis eveniug.'
'Ah ! indeed; on what business,
'I want to sec 'f he ca n1gvem
any advice in regard to getting a~
ha bitually late male in on ime.'
The husband bl1ushedl, pr1etenld
ed he was looking for a news paperj
insteadl of his hat, andl there was a
member ab~sent from the lodge t hat'
night.
'T1en dlimes make one (dollar,
sa-id the school master'. 'Now go
on, sir. Teni dollars make one-'
what?' 'They make one mighty
blad these times,' l'eplied the box'.
