B'DE YOUR TIME.
iWben fortune treats you slightingly
And everything goes wrong.
Remember that you still sre free
To labor and be strong.
To him who bravely does his part
Misfortune is no crime.
Just hold your grip and keep up heart
. And learn to bide your time.
The surest road to greatness lies
Through hard and patient work,
j The glorious name that never dies
Comes not unto the shirk.
Fame sits upon an eminence,
A Dinnacle sublime.
He who would win must seek her thence,
Strive on and bide his time.
The man of hope and energy,
j Who keeps one goal in sight,
.Who goes his way with constancy,
Will some ;iine win the fight.
The man whose life a glory lends
.To every age and ciime
Is he whose purpose never bends,
t Who works and bides his time.
Go onward. O'er the future's hills
| The dawn falls coo! and sweet.
Go onward. He can win who wills
And bows not to defeat.
Go onward though your path may Ik
Through calumny and slime.
/ The way will brighten by and by.
I Go on and bide your time.
i
!And when the fight at last is o'er,
! The toil at last is done;
| When standing on life's farther shore,
I Beneath her setting sun;
Beyond the future's unbarred gate,
i The bells of heaven chime;
!And justice, love, and glory wait
For him who bides his time.

THE LONG NEW Cflll
By HOWARD MARCH.
j^OK HE big chum wasn't long in
4 _LL|j getting the hang of things.
5 r|^ O He was a good shot to bejf
* k gin with, and kept us fairly
well supplied with game
and kangaroo tail soup.
Jackson, our boss, had fixed the name
of Cropper on the newcomer, probably
because somehow it fell to his lot to
get all the "buck-jumpers" to ride.
He had been thrown so often that he
:was getting saddle-shy. He couldn't
understand why it was that the other
fellows' horses gave them no trouble,
while his own were shooting him into
space at most unexpected times.
"You see, it's like this. Cropper," the
boss would explain to him; "the horses
know you're new, and they're just having
fun with you."
Barnes, on the other hand, warned
bim that all the horses were only half
broken in, that they needed constant
watching, and couldn't be trusted for
a minute; but he doubted that. To
convince him Barnes roue alongside or
Cropper and swung his stock whip lash
suddenly under the tail of the new
chum's mount.
The horse clamped his tail down upon
it like a vise, dropped his nose to the
ground, doubled up like a cat in a backfence
concert, and bucked for all k was
worth. Ten stone te::i of New Chum
went bouncing away from him like a
rubber ball, and struck the ground
none too gently. Cropper picked himself
up painfully and remarked to
Barnes:
"A little of this will go a long way
with me."'
It did. It went a long way toward
making it impossible for a horse ever
again to catch him unawares.
There was ouc man in the party to
whom Cropper didn't cotton. That
was Johnson, the one-eyed cook. It
I was a case of mutual dislike. Jolinson
had begun by trying to rough Cropper,
and was promptly called down hard at
the muzzle of a gun. He weakened at
once, but he got some satisfaction out
of telling the others what -terrible
things he would do one- of these fine
days. The New C'hum knew he wasn't
scared by the gun. he said, and he referred
to the act as a cowardly bluff.
Thai gave Barnes au idea.
"Look here. Johnson, why didn't you
call him out?" ho asked. "Call him
out. Tell him you want to settle the
thing. There are the two Martini
rifles in your wagon, say you're willing
to meet him and fight with them. If
he weakens, you've got him. If he
agrees, we'll doctor the cartridges so
as you won't hurt one another."
The cook's one eye sparkled at the
thought.
"I'll call him out. all right," he said,
when he had digested the idea. "I'll
call him out. all right, and you needn't
doctor the cartridges, either. You'll
see. If he doesn't get frightened, why,
I'll make a sieve of him at a hundred
yarfls."
"Hundred grandmothers!" Barnes
said in disgust. "Do you think we're
going to waste all the ammunition in
tho TVQ"fin *5 VauMI mflnt of ton rnr/lc
I and you can liave the ammunition
faked or not, just as you please."
The cook hesitated. "I don't want to
mangle him." he said, finally. "If we
meet at ten yards maybe?maybe you'd
better fake the bullets."
"That's settled, then," Barnes declared.
"I'll second Cropner. If he won't
come to time I will. I'll be behind
"Hold on there," the cook exclaimed,
excitedly. "We haven't had any
trouble?you and me. We've got r.c
call to figm."
||| "This end cf the 'we' Hoes and will."
HEarr.es snhl. grimly, "unless ibis bus!sHness
is settled at once. Is it to be
9 faked or not?"
"Why?er?faked." of course." said
Htbe cook. "I don't know as I realij
Movant to hurt Lira. A fright xvil! dc
jflhim a bit of good, though."
||| Then Mr. Johnson had anothei
H though i.
Ill "Of course, he won't know it's to l><
Ha fake. There's no need to tell bin
||| "No. of course not." Barnes replied
sarcastically. "He isn't a sure thins:
Bisan. you know. Couldn't be. He's
Honl.v white."
P|j The cook began to fidget and lingered
Ha cartridge nervously. "How do J
EH know you won't forget to fake them?"
fHhe asked.
|f| "0!:, that's ai? right, Johnson." tb<
put In cheerfully. "I'll attend t<
gflthat for you."
?2:| Cropper came along and dropped :
jHcounle of wild turkeys on tlie ground
^B"There's sometliine better than salt
^Bhorse. cook," he declared. "Cook then
Hfor sujjper. will you?"
IM
"Better wait and see if you're alive I
at supper time,"' Barnes remarked, sig- J
nificantly.
"You can have ruy share if I am not," 1
said Cropper. "But I don't feel sick?
haven't got heart disease or anything !
like that?and 1 am hungry?hungry j
for something better than salt-horse
and new-killed mutton. What's the j
joke, anyhow?''
"There's no joke. Cookie, there, has
challenged you to a duel with riflesten
yards' limit. I'm holding your
horse. The boss is looking after his. j
What do you say?"
"Say? Why, I say he's an ass. that's
what. I don't want to kill the fool, and ! ^
T iTrm't uronose to let him kill me." '
The cook's nervousness left biin sud- j
denly.
"Yah, he's a chicken-hearted Johnnycome-lately,"
he cried, turning to
Barnes. "I knew it all the time. He's !
scared and I knew he would be. I'm [
satisfied. I don't want to kill a man 1
that's half scared to death to start j
with. Tali!" He kicked the turkeys J
as he spoke.
"Oh. you don't?" Cropper snorted,
red with rage. "Well. I do. by thunder.
Kick my turkeys, will you? Take tbat
?and that!"
"That" and "tbat" were foot applications
upon that part of the cook's person
which should have been covered j
by his coat tails had he worn a coat I
with tails to it.
Jackson ran in between them. "I'd :
eat the heart of a man who did that to I
me." he hissed in the cook's ear. j
"Nothing but blood will wipe this out,"
he said gravely to Cropper. "Nothing
but blood. I'm backing Cookie."
"Come on, then," said the angry new
chum. "If be must have it, he shall
take a bath in his own."
Tlipv stnrtpd down to the flat. CroD- a
per and Barnes in the lead, Jackson e
bringing up the rear with the cook.
Jackson was busy wrenching the ^
bullets out of a handful of cartridges a
and filling their places with pulped n
plug tobacco. Where the edge of the ?
flat sloped down to the Billybung they
came to a halt. The stream there was ?
hedged off by a thick growth of wattle
bushes, six feet high. Even cattle T
could not penetrate it, which was a
good thing for the cattle, because just
there the Billybung swirled over a c
bed of quicksand that would have n
bogged them in short order.
Jackson placed the men ten paces 0
apart, the cook with his back to the
bushes, and between Cropper and the i T
river. Then he handed each man a a
rifle.
"Fire at the word,-' he said.
"And just remember that Fll fire at
the man that fires before the word."' j
Barnes put in, looking significantly at
the cook.
Mr. Johnson shut his one eye in a
long wink, and grinned as he directed
Barnes' attention, by the wave of the
hand, to Cropper. "You'll see," he
muttered.
The new chum's face had grown
white. His passion had worn itself
out.
"Say. Cookie.*' he called out, "what's
the use? Cau't this thing be settled
some other way?"
"I told you he was chicken-hearted,'*
the cook shouted to the others. "No,
it can't, you white-livered idiot!" ho
replied to Cropper. "I am going td
fill you full of holes."
The new chum's face grew rod apain.
"I'll make you crawl for that," b*
said.
"Ready?" Jackson asked. "Fire!"
Both guns were discharged at the
same moment. Cropper tried to gel
out another shell, but the shortened
cartridge got jammed between the
magazine and the lift and disabled his
rifle.
The cook was having better luck,
dropped his piece slowly, worked the
lever carefully, brought the gun to big
cheek confidently, fired and repeated.
Cropper worked frantically for a moment
to clear his gun. then straightened
up and throw it aside.
The cook let out a yell of triumph.
"Now watch him run!" he cried. Next
instant lie shrieked in terror, threw his
own pun away and started at top
speed for the wattle patch.
"Stop him!" he yelled. "Take it
away from him! Don't let him murder
me!"
No one but Cropper had thought of 1 ?
Hie ivory handled six-shooter at his i a
hip. ! *
The new chum drew it as he threw i T
away his rifle, and as it flashed in the j *
air the cook saw it and turned tail.
The new chum fired two shots over j *
the head of the fleeing cook, and then ]
collapsed in a fit of laughter. The j '
cook flew at the wattle bush, and as ; c
he reached it he rose in the air und j 6
sailed over it. j e

was up to his armpits in the quicksand i ^

Hovr Bookseller Gives Away Koran.
A writer spent much of his early
life in Turkey observed that Turkish j ^
books and booksellers were among I ^
the curious features of the country. | .
"Tha Turkish bookseller," he said, !
"has a soul above trade. He rarely j ^
or never attempts to push his wares,
and treasures some of hio more valu- ^
able books so greatly that he can hard- f
. ly be induced to sell them, although I ^
, they form part of his stock in trade. !
Many of the books displayed by the i
. bookseller are in manuscript, which 1 ^
the old-fashioned Turks esteem more j ^
k highly than print. Th? Koran he may j
not sell. He gives it away?in return J

ill favorite ideas for the entirely

that the new sleeve frills are of

rock or the coat and skirt in quesion.
And this will be a very pretty
ashion, of which a charming variition
may be found in having the
hiffon flowered, although the groundvork
matches the material of the
rock. For instance, with a black
'rock, frills or rose-patterned black
hiffon, with a dark blue, frills of

Birds' Absence of Smell.
Birds seem to have no discrimination
whatever in regard to poisons, problbly
because they have almost no sense
Df smell and swallow their food without
masticating it. They are terrified
to paralysis by the appearance of a
poison snake (unless the terror be due
to dread of the appearance of the serpent
rather than to an inherited knowledge
of its venomous power); but such
intelligent birds as rooks will pick up
and eat poisoned grain, and crows or
ravens readily eat poisoned eggs or
meat. Chickens will eat the poisonous
seeds of laburnum and die from its
effects. Whether birds such as tits
and greenfinches ever do so does not
seem to be known. But wild birds
are frequently found dying in gardens,
though apparently they have been in
good health a few hours before, and
