"From praotiriu so inueli Dan got to bo a first rate ihot He mod to ride along in hi pnsture and pnt his mark on the coyotes and jark rnhbiti jnst to keep his hand In. It pit so that nine times ont of ten wl :i h man killed a deer with his wiiirhi st r he wonld find a hole in its left nml mi under bit in ita right ear, and he'd ahvuys send Dan over a.quartor of venison when he got it home. I seen Dun win a het of (BO one flay from a tenderfoot We waa rldiii along the road and we seen the ground a-humpin np where a mole waa Dvin along ont of sight under the earth. Dan made his proposition, the oudetfoot took him np, and Dun s old i went off a couple of times. We dng the niole np, and there was the marks In bia eara right where they belonged. After awhile I don't think there waa living thing on Dim's ranch except his wife's that didn't hare bia mark In ita ears. "This habit of Dan's got him ont of a pretty bad aerape one time. Along about 1889, wheu free range commenced getttu scarce, the fence cottar got to cnttin the wire fences aronnd the pas tures and give the sheep men lot of trouble. Dan' had been cnt half doien times, and he wa mad. One day he rode ont without hi gnn and saw low down rustler named Touipkin lioin bia wire like flddlestring with a pair of nippers. Tompkins got on hi hone and let ont, and Dan rode back to hi ranch aud got hi gun. He struck out on Tompkiua' trail and overhauled him about sundown in the little town that wa tho county seat Dan shot him quietly aud was about to get a cup of coffee aud start back home when be waa surprised by tho slier i ft ' arreitin him. Yon tee, that wa about the time the law and order gang got to raisin Cain in the west and tryin to set down on promiscuous sbootiu aud personal liberty. They scared up judge and a jury somewere and held kind of eourt right away to try Dan. Tompkina had a lot of friend In town, among the hoe thieve aud free grassora, and they come in by the doaen and swore that Tompkiua hadn't been out of town for a week, and thbt Dan 'a story about his outtiu the fence didn't go. Dan had no witnesses, and it begun to look kind "f funny for him. They had Tompkina laid out on a table In tbe courtroom. "Directly Dan went over aud looked pretty sharp at Tompkins, and then he asked oue of the deputies to go ont to little jewelry store aorosa the street ana bring a magnifying glass. The depnty went and got it, and Dan handed it to the judge aud asked him to step down and look at something a minute. There waa a mosquito with hi bill faat in Tompklos' ear, and Dan a ked the judge to take good look at it with the glaa. The Judge did so, and bleat if that mos quito didn't have a hole in ita left and an nnderblt in ita right ear, a ahora aa I'm aitting here. Everybody knew Dan' mark, aud tha court waa con Yinoed that Tompkiua must have been prowlin round hi ranoh. It wu what you would call good eironmstautial evi dence, and teu minute afterwurd Dan waa on hia way home."

Wherever thorn Is a view worth going to see yon will almost certainly find a summer homo built to command it, no matter bow wild or poor tho district. You will find summer honses cling ing to sea clilTs over tho thunder of brenkers, nestling in shadow of gnrgo over the roaring of rapids, strutted out over tho preoipico front like eagles' nests at tho vorgo of cloud craters, for in Jiipaii there will always be summer guest wherever tliero ia summer beauty, travelers happy to please their eyea and rest their feet and to leave some rappers in payment for the privilege of the vision and the repose. The summer house at which I am now staying is typical of the class, a skeleton structure of two stories, simply and strongly built after the manner of peasants' dwellings and at a cost of perhaps f 80.

From ground floor to roof It is open on three aide, and on the seaward side shelter from the sun and wind is given by tree rooted in the cliff below, but towering far above the eaves enormous pines, with branches many foot in girth. Between the tig cm; of those mighty limbs there are glimpse of the sea aud fishing sails (canvas or atraw) flitting like white or yellow butterflies, and the far pale thread line of the Hokl coast, and Dla son's roue thrusting Into the clear sky like some prodigious blue crystal, or, looking directly down over the needle foliage of younger pines, you see the wiuipling of the bay and bather laugh- lug ninoug the rocks, wild children play- Ing with seaweed and shells.

The value attaobed by the poor, and even by those who are not in the depth of poverty, to decent aurronndinga in family life la a very variable quantity. Decent lodging i not by any mean universally regarded aa one of the prime neoessariea of life. Occasionally it la relegated to quit a back seat An instance wa given before the commission of a family of seven per sonsfather, mother two grown np mm and three grown np daughter all liv ing in one room. With them Ibi ar rangement waa a matter of choice, not necessity, for they earned between them about it a week, more than AVISO a year, and aven from a alum landlord they could no doubt have afforded to rent another room or two. Having screwed down the item of rent to an irreduoible minimum, they determined to have a thoroughly good time, and thia la bow the witness describe their pro ceedings: "In the eveuing they would all go ont to the muiio hall aud to the theaters. On Saturday afternoon they would take five tickets each for some omnibus or conveyance that wa going Into tbe country, and on Sunday they would go to Brighton and to other places.
