A Half-Breed Beauty as Seen in Oregon, The jar of heavy feet was heard. Some young horses came down a steep hill at full run. Behind was a reckless, rapid rider. The loose stock dashed past. ‘ ~The horse that bore the rider was tossing his head madly and slinging white foam in flakes from his mouth. He was a rearing, restlessyheavy built, regulation broncho, but it was remarked that he was was well under control, for he seemed to be fairly lifted from side to side by the reins at the will of the rider, who drew up to our resting place. We stared in a way that was not mannerly, even in the wilds of Oregon. ‘The rider of the restless pony was a young girl. She waited with embarrassment for us to tell our errand, ‘*Who lives here?”’ we asked. “J do,’ she replied, in a tone that did not make us feel any more at home. “‘Whose garden is this?” was the next question, “Mine.”’ ‘After a pause she added: “Can I do anything for you, gentle men?” “Well, well, no,’? was about the only intelligible answer at command. “Will you come to the house?” she added; ‘‘it is near dinner time.” 2 As she rode before we looked upona graceful rider, a well rounded, neat figure, a brunette,.with the languid beautyso much admired-in the Castilian women, clad in coarse, strong, short skirts, below which showed a,small boot and a keen, bright spur. -Her rich saddle was new, ‘. strong and double rigged. ‘Her.horse had not stopped at the Bate till she sprang to the ground. My companion stepped forward with a Chesterfield bow, but too late to assist her. She asked us to go to the house while she led her horse to the stable. When we were within a rod of the.door we both started with surprise. A.repulsive, sulJen, scowling Indian was at each window. We were greatly surprised to learn that our hostess was a half breed. In_ her features or actions we had observed not one trace of the Indian. Her demeanor was modest, while at the same time she was fully imbued with that Western liberality that allaws no man to pass without an invitation to partake of a meal or night’s dodging. We bade her gpod-bye reluctantly, and continued our hunt, thinking how much more, appropriate such grace and such wealth would be in the circles of society than on the back of a broncho,—San Francisco Chronicle. ——THE-EtRST-HUSBAND'S FAULT; . . Woman's Logic—Reasoning of Which a Man Is Incapable. Mrs. Tuttles, a widow only recently married a second time, was visiting her friend Mrs. Johnson in her elegant freestone froat on the ayeiue yesterday, and, of courge,.retoupting her. woes. Mrs, Johnson was astonished at the news she heard, and exclaimed: . ‘My dear, you. amaze me. I thought you were one of the happiest women in the town.” : “TY? screamed Mrs. Tuttles, at the bare idea of happiness in her life, and sha broke into tears. x “Yes. Why, look at the house yon have, and the carriages and horses and servants and diamonds.” ' “And you call that happiness??’ “T don't see what else you could desire.” “T could desire a man that would give me some comfort in life.’’ ; “Man? Ithought he was a good man and an old friend of your first husband.” “Ah, Llead a terrible life with him, and it’s all the fault of my first husband, the mean old wretch.” “Why, how is that?”’ pid as to have gone and died, I never would have been such a fool as to marry again.” : LIVING FOR OTHERS, . Society Must Rise or Fall as One Body. Noone liveth to himself, and no one @ieth to himself. When we realize this fact, and live in the spirit of brother. hood, we are all doing something to put an end to war in all its forms—international war, social war, party and sec: tarian war. No nation.can live. to itself, or die t« fitself. Its prosperity and decay must influence other nations for good or evil. Ne nation can be independent of other na tions, No body of men in society, no industrial or professional class, can be independent of other classes. Society must rise or fall as one body. ‘When the poor are oppressed the rich suffer, too, Thecontagion of ignorance, of immorality, of disease or crime, passes into every part of social life. We are members of a great. body, sharipg its joya and sorrows.—James Freeman ke. The Wild West As It Is. Many people have falsé ideas on the subject of Indians, cowboys, and life generally in the boundless West; especially fs this true of boys and young men whe reside in the Eastern part of our country. Astory,true to nature, is that of ap Eastern boy who came into a_ cattle ranch anxious to ongeee in that kind of life. He carried a Winchester rifle, wore two or three pistols in his belt,and told the leading spirit of the party that he wanted to*be a cowboy. The man smilingly looked at him and said: “Now, young man, you take off that armory, show us what you know about bookkeeping and double entry, and maybe we can give you a chance.—W.

Then he called for a bottle of wine and five glasses and made Bob wet his thront with champagne.” —[Detroit Free Press. James Pound's Double Life, James Pound is an Englishman who enjoys the distinction of having ed successfully a double 2. He was first married to a Miss Smith in 1846 and in 1859 made a will’ bequeathing all bis property to Mrs. Pound. In 1869 he was married again undor the name of Jackson to a widow named Foster. A hotel was started by the newly-married pair, and « véry excellent hotel it must have. beeti, if the property willed in 1878 by Mr. Pound Jackson to his “dear wife, Susanna Jackson,” is a fair index of hotel quality as well as prosperity. Mr. Pound-Jackson, after his second marriage, stated to both wives thet he had become a commercial traveler, and as such must be often away frora home. Such was his keen sense of honor, however, that he divided his time equally between Mrs. Pound and Mrs. Jackson, and seems to have been a model husband to both. Even in death his only unfairners was one of necessity. Naturo reto make an exception for such a remarkable case, and Mr. Pound-Jackson could not die in two places, surrounded by two wailing families. He did his bast, however, for two wills were left, providin, equally for each family. Nor can the probate court break eithor will. i Taking Him at His Word.

A Half-Breed Beauty as Seen in Oregon, The jar of heavy feet was heard. Some young horses came down a steep hill at full run. Behind was a reckless, rapid rider. The loose stock dashed past. ‘ ~The horse that bore the rider was tossing his head madly and slinging white foam in flakes from his mouth. He was a rearing, restlessyheavy built, regulation broncho, but it was remarked that he was was well under control, for he seemed to be fairly lifted from side to side by the reins at the will of the rider, who drew up to our resting place. We stared in a way that was not mannerly, even in the wilds of Oregon. ‘The rider of the restless pony was a young girl. She waited with embarrassment for us to tell our errand, ‘*Who lives here?”’ we asked. “J do,’ she replied, in a tone that did not make us feel any more at home. “‘Whose garden is this?” was the next question, “Mine.”’ ‘After a pause she added: “Can I do anything for you, gentle men?” “Well, well, no,’? was about the only intelligible answer at command. “Will you come to the house?” she added; ‘‘it is near dinner time.” 2 As she rode before we looked upona graceful rider, a well rounded, neat figure, a brunette,.with the languid beautyso much admired-in the Castilian women, clad in coarse, strong, short skirts, below which showed a,small boot and a keen, bright spur. -Her rich saddle was new, ‘. strong and double rigged. ‘Her.horse had not stopped at the Bate till she sprang to the ground. My companion stepped forward with a Chesterfield bow, but too late to assist her. She asked us to go to the house while she led her horse to the stable. When we were within a rod of the.door we both started with surprise. A.repulsive, sulJen, scowling Indian was at each window. We were greatly surprised to learn that our hostess was a half breed. In_ her features or actions we had observed not one trace of the Indian. Her demeanor was modest, while at the same time she was fully imbued with that Western liberality that allaws no man to pass without an invitation to partake of a meal or night’s dodging. We bade her gpod-bye reluctantly, and continued our hunt, thinking how much more, appropriate such grace and such wealth would be in the circles of society than on the back of a broncho,—San Francisco Chronicle. ——THE-EtRST-HUSBAND'S FAULT; . . Woman's Logic—Reasoning of Which a Man Is Incapable. Mrs. Tuttles, a widow only recently married a second time, was visiting her friend Mrs. Johnson in her elegant freestone froat on the ayeiue yesterday, and, of courge,.retoupting her. woes. Mrs, Johnson was astonished at the news she heard, and exclaimed: . ‘My dear, you. amaze me. I thought you were one of the happiest women in the town.” : “TY? screamed Mrs. Tuttles, at the bare idea of happiness in her life, and sha broke into tears. x “Yes. Why, look at the house yon have, and the carriages and horses and servants and diamonds.” ' “And you call that happiness??’ “T don't see what else you could desire.” “T could desire a man that would give me some comfort in life.’’ ; “Man? Ithought he was a good man and an old friend of your first husband.” “Ah, Llead a terrible life with him, and it’s all the fault of my first husband, the mean old wretch.” “Why, how is that?”’ pid as to have gone and died, I never would have been such a fool as to marry again.” : LIVING FOR OTHERS, . Society Must Rise or Fall as One Body. Noone liveth to himself, and no one @ieth to himself. When we realize this fact, and live in the spirit of brother. hood, we are all doing something to put an end to war in all its forms—international war, social war, party and sec: tarian war. No nation.can live. to itself, or die t« fitself. Its prosperity and decay must influence other nations for good or evil. Ne nation can be independent of other na tions, No body of men in society, no industrial or professional class, can be independent of other classes. Society must rise or fall as one body. ‘When the poor are oppressed the rich suffer, too, Thecontagion of ignorance, of immorality, of disease or crime, passes into every part of social life. We are members of a great. body, sharipg its joya and sorrows.—James Freeman ke. The Wild West As It Is. Many people have falsé ideas on the subject of Indians, cowboys, and life generally in the boundless West; especially fs this true of boys and young men whe reside in the Eastern part of our country. Astory,true to nature, is that of ap Eastern boy who came into a_ cattle ranch anxious to ongeee in that kind of life. He carried a Winchester rifle, wore two or three pistols in his belt,and told the leading spirit of the party that he wanted to*be a cowboy. The man smilingly looked at him and said: “Now, young man, you take off that armory, show us what you know about bookkeeping and double entry, and maybe we can give you a chance.—W.

James Pound's Double Life, James Pound is an Englishman who enjoys the distinction of having ed successfully a double 2. He was first married to a Miss Smith in 1846 and in 1859 made a will’ bequeathing all bis property to Mrs. Pound. In 1869 he was married again undor the name of Jackson to a widow named Foster. A hotel was started by the newly-married pair, and « véry excellent hotel it must have. beeti, if the property willed in 1878 by Mr. Pound Jackson to his “dear wife, Susanna Jackson,” is a fair index of hotel quality as well as prosperity. Mr. Pound-Jackson, after his second marriage, stated to both wives thet he had become a commercial traveler, and as such must be often away frora home. Such was his keen sense of honor, however, that he divided his time equally between Mrs. Pound and Mrs. Jackson, and seems to have been a model husband to both. Even in death his only unfairners was one of necessity. Naturo reto make an exception for such a remarkable case, and Mr. Pound-Jackson could not die in two places, surrounded by two wailing families. He did his bast, however, for two wills were left, providin, equally for each family. Nor can the probate court break eithor will. i Taking Him at His Word.
