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. --Beard, as at rule, will comov to 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'. --Postmastcr General G resham has been apploi nted secret ariy of treasurv. vi ce Folg-ei' cloesace BUY FINE Cl0T I INC G .1%TD SHOES F.lwPo &Go GREEN VILLE, S.
