ing a good living" In finy vay. Ho
was n rcmniably handsome 'mountain
eer, tall nnd strorjg, dnd ho looked on
honest labor ni riiilto berJcath him.
His word was his bpnd ; ho contracted
no debts thit ho' could nbt pay, yet ho
itcn cut up a ,iat steer and dtviveu tho
meat among bis neighbors, who sent
m vect'tablcs'and groceries in return.
and nover asked Wlicro tbo fat steer bod
corau from. Perhabs they' knew,
When a herd pasaHl aionc the du tV
high-road tho wOmbn smiled at each
other nnd said ; "I fuess We'll havo
some fresh meat to-morrow.''
Soraotlmos iho' would drive into town
with n team ofJiigh-steppingl, Smooth
coated horses attached to his, rusty old
buckboafd. Then his ffionds crowded
about tridrn, stroking thb glpssy necks,
examining tha white teeth, but rio ond
in this litllo IIormon settlement oveif
thdught of inijairiug whero be got
them.
Dick Jfjhns6h'. was th kinddst. Of
men to his lncnas and tamiiy; yet lib
had his record. He would bo lynched
promptly if bo" should ever return to
Montana ; he had shot a bridgekeoper
who demanded toll of him, and, al
together, tho deaths of a half-dozen
men, were caused by tho well known
fact that "Olo Dick wnz mighty lively
with his pistols when ho got 'nuff whis
ky aboard."
His wife did not always have a good
print dress to wear to town, tho child
ren wero seldom supplied with shoes,
but sho always seemed contented and
lazily happy, nnd thcro was not a
merrier set ot little ones. Too mother
was a fairhaired, bluo-eyed woman,
and the children all looked like her.
"Tbo children mostly awl looks like
me," she would say, with an amiable
smilo ; "awl of 'cm 'cept Caddie, an' I
guees she looks more like her pa.
"xou kin jest bet I do. and l m

some girl, and people who admired
her delicate, dark faoe, wore always
shocked when her coarse voice and

energetio girl ruled the whole family j
tbo man who in spite ot hi strength
and ferocity, was as tender hearted and
simple-minded as a ohild, tbo indolent
amiablo wonwn, and the swarm of tow-
beaded children.
Jnddie had dreams of something
different from the vagrant life that
satisfied the rest of the family. Some
times she Baw hereon a busy wile, aud
mothor, moving about tho two or three
rooms of a log farm house, with a fow
hardy ilowers struggling for existence
in the small front garden, with ourrent
bushes, strawberry vines, and tlournh-
ing vegetables surrounding the house,
and with waving fields of green stretch'-
ing awav to the dark mount-ins that
bound these 'Western valleys.
no connded these visions to ber
mother once.
"I tell yer what, maw," sho said,
"when 1 git married 1 ham t agom to
hev no scoh a ferlom 'doby shanty ez
this hero, it 11 hev to be a log house,
and denied well plastered an white

I'll hev a likely colt to ride, an' somo
cows, bo's to hev lots of milk an' but

"iew vo always bed hno ideas in

mother ; "an' of yew marries Bishop
Hums, like ew ro pa wants yew tow.

yew knew well enull that JJan Williams

"Huh r observed Uaddie ; "of hat
bull-headed ole Burns ever comes
a-shinuiu' 'round me, he'll get sech a
crack in 'is law 'II make him sea stars,
or else my natuo lraint Caddie John
son."
"Wall, I guess he'd better not risk
it then,'' said tho woman, with a feeble
laugh j "yew're pa'n a-hitchin' up tho
bosses, Caddie, an' I reckon vew'd
better pack that there bit o' butter in ft
box, an raebbe old liurns ull give yaw
some shoes ier H et yewe re real nice
lew him."
"All right," answered Caddio
"looK-a-nere, you Mom, I'll kick you
into the middle of uext week if you
don't stop tryin' to lasso that thero
pig. Come along here now, a"' git
yer faoo washed. We're goin, to tho
'Co-op.,' an' mebbo yoiul git somo
candy, of you behavo yourselves."
There was only ono seat inthe wagon
and on it sat Dick Johnson and bis
wife, who held tho baby in her aims,
Caddio sat on tho box iu tho back o
the wagon, and the children rolled
around her iu tho hay that was always
taken along for tho horses to eat while
the women wero trading in tho Co
operauvn otoro and tho man was
drinking at the one saloon.
Tho toad ran along tbo bank of
river, whoso gleaming breadths, seon
at intervals through tbo overhanging
wiuows, together wun a long sweep
oi green anu urown anil goiu ouneu
cra-ia that bowed its taeseled heads
tho breeze passed over it, waving like
a many-colored sea away to tho dark
mountains with their snowy tops, form
eu a picture almost sublime in its per
iod loveliness.
"That thero
grass is een a-most
ready to out, remarked old JJiok,
guess I'll borry tho bishop's hay rick
io-morrcr, an go alter a loao o bay,
an' j on youngsters kin come along an'
help stamp it, el you want so. '
Tho children set up a joyful shout,
for this was a treat to tbern, as
would bo to any one, to tumble about
in tho long grass, to fish for minnow
in tho cool, gurgling creek, to wado
into it knee deep for water-cress, t
pick tart, wild strawberries and to oat
nil theso delicacies with tho swee
homo-made bread and country butter,
And after this delightful day, how
pleasant it was to roll in the sweet-
smelling hay, with tho breezes cooling
their sun-burnt cheeks during tho long
ncie nome.
Tbo wagon drew up at List In front
of tho village store, and the girl mar-

"Ob, come now." ho said, "vou

that's moru'n I'd do for ennybody oleo."
"Well," said tho cirl. "I cuoss I'll
jest look nt somo shoes, on' if I kin soo
pa'r l like, 1 11 take em for tho but

Caddio's mother had cono with her
numerous offsprings to visit a friend,
and Caddio was loft alone to do hor
trading. Hor elderly admirer took ad
vantage of this fact to plead his cause
iin tho handeomo girl.
"You've cot a nurtv foot, for a cal o'
your size," bo said as sho tried on a
pair of calfskin shoes, declining all help
iruui iiiuj.
"Huh 1" said the lady, too onerosied
vwith hor task to notico tho compli
ment : "yas, theso hero shoes fits kinder
slick, but I don't b'lievo they's hold
(Water when tho snow oouies."
"Oh, they'll hold water fast enounb."
ho answered; "but they ain't half nico
enough ier sech a hansom foot as

I'm o-savin' for my wife."
"Well, ' asked Caddie sharnlv.
then why don't you uivo urn to her 1

"Now look a-here, Cad, bo said :

t : Mirandy don't want for nothiu'. and
sho don't oaro about fineries, bul most
girls does, an' I toll you what, my
sccond'll havo tho nicest duds o' any
woman in town."
Caddio lmd put her shoes on neain
by this time, and she did not propose
to listen to him any longer. It wonld
not be wiso to quarrel with tho bishop,
but she had no desiro "to play scoond
name in no kind o music, and sho
told him bo.
"Haw, haw. haw," ho laughed, "I
guess not. I km jest see the way my
ole woman '11 hev to step around when
yon air Airs, liurns. seo here, Uaddie '
bo added, as she turned to go, "I want
to talk to you, an you might lest as
well listen now as onnv other time.
You know your pa went prospeotin'
Inst year, an' I furnished the gubb fer
tho trip. Well he fonnd a purty good
claim, an' now an Eastern company's
sent an expert oat hero to look at it,

and marry me, like yonr pap wants
you to. '
"I don t b liece you ve cot no bill o'
sale, said tho girl quietly ; "show mo
tno paper."
' Her faco was dark with anger. Sho
looked very pretty, as sho sat thero in
tho dingy little store, on a long pack
ing 'box j her glorious brown hair had
been blown loose by tho wind, her ran
ged sun-bonnet hung by its strings
around her neck, her blub eyes wore
bright with excitement, and her brown
cheecks glowed. Tho bishop looked at
her admiringly as ho returned with tho
paper. Sho roso to her feet, and her
slight, round figure showed, oven
through tho clumsy pink calico, its
graceful curves. She moved round
between him and tho open door of tho
stove in vvhiob a wood tiro burned, for
too evenings aro cold in these moun
tain villages, and then as he read aloud,
Bho suddenly snatched the paper and
thrown into tho stovo. Uo sprang
forward with an oath, but it was too
late, and when bo turned to look for
tbo girl sjie was gone.
Tho next day Diok Johnson rodo un
to tho saloon and gravely announced
to tho loungers thero that ho meant to
shoot old Burns on sight, and that the
said Burns had better havo bis gun
handy. Then tho injured man began
to fortify himself with whisky for the
appruuuimig uuei.
"VYbats the matter with Burns!
asked one of tho crowd ; "I alius,
thought that you wuz on tho best kind
o' terms with tho b'shop.,'
"un, he s lived long enough, tbat s
all," answered old Dick j "an' my arms
air i-gittin' ruBty fer want o' use."
His enemy had been warned, Dick
was drunk enouch to bo dancrerous.
and so bo thought there was no reason
for waiting any longer, and, rhintr, he
slipped quietly out of tho saloon, and
walked over to tho "Uo-op.'
Arriving there, ho stood near tho
door, watching the proprietor, until
tho latter turned, when tho hands of
both men flow to their ready pistols,
nnd tho shots rang out. The bishop
ten, ana uick, wbo was a dead shot,
stood calmly looking at his victim,
The murdered man s wifo ran in from
hor rooms behind tho storo and flung
nerncit aown beside tbo body, with
nean-renuing shriek. Then tbo men
from tho saloon riiBhed in and stood
around looking silently at the bleeding
corpso and at t o poor wifo wbo
mourned the dead man as sincerely as
though ho bad been tho kindest of bus
bands to her.
ner pitiful sobbing aroneed tho sym
pathies of 'the rough crowd, and they
began to look angrily at the victor.
Ono man pointed siguificaritly to a coil
of ropo lying on tho counter, but the
rest looked at tho revolver still grasp-

Diok Johnson saw nnd understood,
nnd ho qmctly backed up against the
wall, drew another Bix-shooter and
prooeoded to make his defense. Ho
told tho story of tbo bill of sale. "You

AN ADDRESS, TO TUB DEMOCRATIC SO
CIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Tho following address to tho demo
cratic societies has been issued by Pres
ident Black :
Philadelphia, Nov. 12. The dem
ocratio party has met temporary defeat
in defeneo of a just, equitable nnd nec
essary principle of frco government.
It contended that unnecesBaryt sxation
was unjust taxation ; that tho federal
government had no right to tako moro
money from the people than might be
necessary for its own BUpport economi
cally administered; and that it had no
right to tako h oney from tho mass of
men to confor it, as a mero largcsB,
upon a class. This doctrino has been
hold by the democratic party from tho

Nothing was required to insure tho suc

that tho issue should bo olearlv under

by a comparison of the results in the

Sews Items-
In riding through the country one is
surprised at the manner in whiob farm
cs leave their valuable machinery in
tho field without any protection from
tbe rain and the buu. A shed of
ronghjboards oosts but little, and will
pay a i8rge interest on the little in
vestment, if used to shelter theso
machines. Because the farmer d-ies
not see tbo slow dcoay, he is apt to
forget that it is going on, until re
minded of it by some costly machine
which goes to pieces just at the timo
when most needed. This treatment
of machinery is excellent for the
manufacturers, but it is one of tho
prominent reasons why "sarming
don't pay."
As tho gunning has now opened in
oarnest, sportsmen will do well to
thorougMy post themselves in regard
to the law ot trespass in order to avoia
trouble with tho farming community
upon whoso lands they may enter in
quest of game. There are several
acts covering different violations of
the law of trespass, Malicious tres
pass a fine $100, and imprisonment
not exceeding six months. Willfully
carrying off or destroying nny proper
tya fine not exceeding 850, and an
imprisonment not exceeding sixty
days., A destruction ot property,
tramping down grass, grain, eta, a
fine from S5 to $100, one-half to the
informer, the other to the owner.
Tho post office department is soon
to have 8 new style of postal cards. It
is much like the double card of tho
present pattern. The back folds aro
split diagonaly and open like a
pointed star. The lour corners aro
joined in tho centre, when tho
card is ready for mailing, with a piero
of gummed paper. The card weighs
less than half an ounce, and will con
tain no more writing than tho present
oard, the only advantage being great
er privacy.

Tatooing Uonviots for Identification.
"Tbo latest fad in prison manage
ment," said a prison official, "is tattoo
ing. It is a ready means of identifica
tion and is bound to become popular
in prison management. My idea is to
tattoo a oonvict every time ho is im
prisoned and then we 11 have his re
cord as clear as tho moon at midnight.
Let each penal institution adopt a dif
ferent mark or monogram and tbo
problem of identifying convicts will

system yet proposod. To somo per

but it isn't. Tattooing isu't paiuful
