In the for West, particularly in the far Southwest, the newly*arrir ed eetler often finds that be bits •trange neighbor!—not only In dians, but white desperadoes, who are more to be feared than even Utej and Apacheo. Two young friend* of mine- good, steady, New Englandiborn young men—were *o unfortunate ob to buy land in the vicinity of an eipecially-ugly member of tbU out law fraternity. These young men bad been brought np to obey the law, and to respect the property and wrighti of their neighbors. They could be brave enough in the defense of any just cause, yet they dreaded and shrank from the use of dead* ly weapons against a fellowbeing, from a|keen sense of the sacred ness of human life, and the crimi nality involved in such acts. Such were Gilbert and Oharles Small. Plain, farm-bred boys, they had, by steady labor and economy, saved up a capital of 81,700. With this they bad emi> grated to Colorado, and started « small stock-farm, fifteen miles from Alamosa. By availing themselves of the Homcsteud act and the Pre-emp. lion law, they secured a tract of S20 acres of land, lying upon a creek, with a range extending back over the hills, which was not likely to be taken by other set tlers. At a point a short distance be low, where a mining-trail passed them, and where they judged there would in time bo % railroad, they built a frame house, which they opened as a hotel, and in which they also kept a slock of groceries For, like many other enterprising young (migrants, they had an ambition to found a town and grow up with iL Homo eight or ton miles from them lived a man named Petor Hergit, who professedly worked a mins, but whose place really wo* a rendezvous for renogado “cow bojs,” and other desperate clmrac ters of the Jesee James type. It was intimated that several daring inin-robberies had here been planned, and also that "Clate Wal kei” made it ono of his stopping' places. This Wulker was a notorious gambler and dead shot. Ho was supposed to bo tho leader of a band of train robbers, and wan supposed to bare killed not lot* than ten men in various affrays. It was said, too, that occasionally, when times became too inonoto' nous because of the lack of excite ment, be would kill a man “for fun," just to keep bis band in. He bad a habit, also, of ridiug through small towns and camps, shooting promiscuously at every body he saw; to keep up the terror of his name, a matter be appears to have been vain of. It will seem well-nigh Inoredible to pe ipls in the East that such a man should be allowed to escape justice and run at large. Such is the ugly fact, however, in scorn of cases, owing probably to the cir* cumstanoe that no officer likes to attempt the arrest of these despera does, who generally carry two and sometimes three heavy revolvers, and are marvellously quick and sure of aim. As an example of the wonder fully rapid and accurate shooting of some of these frontiersmen, the writer remembers teeing a “cow boy” st Raton, N. M., vide bis horse at fall gallop past a tele graph-pole, to which was pinned the round white cover of a paper- collar box, and lodge four bells from his Colt*s pistol in this small mark while psaalng. Afterward he entertained us by throwing np into the air, one efter another, a handful of pig-nuts, and cracking each as it fell with a single bullet. Then bo did the same thing again, toesing the note up rapidly aod twirling the revol ver round bis forefinger after every Finally, throwing the nuts op are slowly, he replaced his pistol io iu sheath at his hip after every shot, drawing it for each succeed ing nut, and did not miss one out of six. This shows the accuracy and qoieksesa of aim of many oi these lawless fellows, and each a marks- man was Clate Walker; who added to his reputation, moreover, the more murderous one of being s “killer," whloh in the phrase of this action means a desperado who will shoot a man upon the least provocation. Our two young stockmen had beard of this border monster, but their first actual acquaintance with him began the week after put* ting up their sigu ot‘*“Small Bros Hotel and Grocery. Walker chanced to pass one morning, and seeing the new s<gn, reined in his horse, and, by way of calling the attention of the landlord to his arrival, drew his revolver and opened fire on tho sigh, shooting the first letter 8 to pieces, Then dismounting, ho kicked the door open, and ; walk ing in, demanded a “cock tail ” * Gilbert, who chanced to bo in side at the lime, told him civilly that there was no bar conneotcd with the house; for, true to their home principles, the young men had determined to keep a “tem perance house”—a greater anoma ly in the West than many at first suppose. “A temperance house !” shouted Walker, and he vented bis sstons ishment and disgust in a burst of oaths and revilings. “No man shall keep a hotel with nothing to drink in it in these parts," he said. “If you don’t have liquor, and good liquor, too, the next time I call, I won’t Icavo a whole dish or a whole bono here !” And, as a foretaste of what he would do next time, he kicked over tho table and smashed three or four chairs, by way of lea»e- taking. With such a customer on their hands, it is a little wonder that our two young frionds felt very ill at case. Still, they were bold raon, and were determined not to be bullied into keeping rum; so they went about their business as usual. Nothing further was seen of Walker for a fortnight, when ho again appeared early one morning, while Charles was potting break fast—Gilbert having gouo out to look after tho cattle, The first hint that Charles bad of bis visitor was another volley of shots into their signboard. This lime Ciate had shot the second letter to pieces. It was apparently his way of knocking. Immediately he kicked tho door open os before. Under the circumstances it is not vory strange that Charles stepped nut of a back door at about lira time and went behind tho corral, from whence bo hoard Walker fir ing repeatedly, and making a great smash inside. Wben at length the desperado taken bis departure it was found tnat ho bad made a complete wreck of the crockery and furniture, nnd in the grocery he had helped him self to tobacco and empted his revolver at the keroseno barrel, which, tapped iu half a dozen places, was dclugiug the floor. I shall not undertake to say what the duty of my young friends was—whether they should have resisted outrage and defended their property at the risk of their live*, or moved away from so dangerous a neighbor. What they did was to get out cf sight whenever they saw Walker coming, and let him do bi< worst. It chanced that after a time •eccnd cousin of my young friends came West to ace them. Ills name woe Forney, and be waa then a student at the military academy at West Point. I am not sure, how ever, but he bad juat graduated, though that does not matter. lie dropped in opon the Small brothers quite unexpectedly ono afternoon, and it ia needless to tay that they were glad to see him, and that they pasted a very pleas ant evening. Nothing waa said about Walker, for Gilbert and Charles, baring an boneat pride in tbelr ranch, were loth to let Lieut. Gerald know bow badly they were off In respect fb neighbor*. The desperado happened to come along, however, the very next morning. Charles and Gerald wan sitting in the dining-room, wben Gilbert, who bad Men the gamble coming up the road, sud denly rushed in, “Old Clate Walker’s coming I” be exclaimed. “Pat oat at the book door 1" Chula lapel to hit fitet, bat our young West Poiuter arose more loisurely, “Who the dickens is 'Old Clate Walker’?" be asked. “A regular border terror l A 'killer’" exclaimed Gilbert. “He's likely to shoot any of ua at tight! Como on after usl" “What 1 run out of your own bouso 1" said Forney, surprised “Why, what hold has this fellow on you ?” “No hold whatever, but he’s double dyed murderer!" cried Charles. “You don’t know him as we do. Come along with as and get out of his way 1” “Not 1!” exclaimed Forney,— who perhaps felt that his military reputation was at stake. “Take your two shot-guns and stand r«*dy in the kitchen. I'll stop here and see Mr. Walker 1” and he hurriedly took bis revolver from his overcoat-pocket, then stepped to the window behind the desk on the counter. With his customary oath, tho gambler and dead shot kicked open tho door and strode in. The young Lieutenant sat on the high-stool behind the desk, apparently read ing the newspaper. He did not look up. “Hello, you sneak!” shouted Walker. “Whero are the tender kids what keeps this blasted tern, peranco hotel ?” “I think thej’vo gone out to hide,” said Forney, carelessly turn ing his paper. “They said there was a man- eater, a regular authro* pophagus, coming, and that they were going to bido somewhere.” Walker started. “Well I well! 1 ho ripped out. “If you aiut the freshest kid I’ve struck in ten years! Right fr?sh from the East, en't ye, young feller ?” “Yes,” said Fornoy, moving tho paper, “I’m from the East, and pretty fresh, I suppose. I’m a young fellow; but I’m a pretty mco ono.” “Don’t you givo me any of your lip l" thundered Walker. “Do you know who I am?” “How should I ?" said Forney. “It’s none of my buxiuoss, I’m only hero on a visit. I don't care who you are.” The bully flushed, stung by the careless contempt iu Fc rney's tone. “Suppose,” he muttered, taking a step toward the counter, while murderous gleam crept into his eye, “suppose 1 were to tickle your Adam's apple with my dirk, what thea ?’’ “Then I’d shoot you dead for the scoundrelly hound you are 1” exclaimed tho young cadet, and denly presenting his cocked revolv< er full in Walker's face. “Move —stir a band, and I’ll shoot you liko a dog!” “Tho first man that ever got the ‘drop’ on me l” gasped Walker, “and you a little whipper-snapper from the East!” “No matter what T am," laid Forney, sternly. “If you move hand I'll shoot you. Gilbert I Ctiarlie l” The two brothers who from the kitchen, had heard ths above dia* logue, and were several times on the point of taking to tbelr heels out at the back door, now entered, guns in hand. “Cover bim, Gilbert,” said For ney, “Ifbeitirta hand, put i load of buckshot through him I Now, Charles, come and take his pistols and bis knife." A deep red flush mounted Walker's lace. Bat he knew tbst the slightest movement on bis part would send two oharges of cold lead through bis body. He grit, ted his teeth, but stood motionless, They disarmed bim, then march ed him out of the door and round the boose Into the cattle corral in the rear of it. TbU corral was bailt of adobe bricks, the wall being from seven to eight feet high and inclosing a space about eighty feet square. They gave him no chance to get the start, but kept bim covered with both gun and pistol constant ly. They gave him a chair to ait on, however, aod there he oat all day, watching the cadet and Gil bert, and they him, while Charles rode post-haste to Alamosa to a warrant for bU arrest and aommons the Sheriff and hU ana to take him. The officers, hearing that io dangerous a ruffian waa really waiting their disposal, were not slow In responding to Charles Small'* ■tnunooa; nod by 8 o'clock that afternoon the young Lieuten ant bad the satisfaction of seeing the “border terror" taken into legal custody and matched off to jail. But, os U too often the caio in the West, the prisoner was lynched instead of being fairly tried and convicted of bis crimes. Be wa> taken forcibly from the jail by a masked party from one of tho neighboring mining camps, the third night after being lodged (here, and hanged without any form of trial to the nearest tree.— Youth's Companion. A Prehistoric Reservoir. “I’ve seen a good many wondera ful things in my travels,” said John Gregg, Commercial traveler, “but the Walled lake of Iowa rath er lays over anything I ever saw. Just imagine a body of water, covering nearly 3000 acres, with a wall built up all around it, not a ■tone of which can be less than 100 pounds in weight, and some as heavy as three tons, and yet there’e not a stone to bo found within ten miles of the lake. The wall is ten feet high, about fifteen feet wide at the bottom, aud may bo five on top. The country is prairie land for miles around, except a belt of heavy timber that encircles the lake. This timber is oak, and it is plain that tho trees were planted thore. They aro very large. The belt is probably half a mile wide. The water in the lake is twenty- fivo feet deep, as cold as ice, and as clear as a crystal. “What I want to know is, who built that wail ? And how did they hold tho water back while they were building it ? And how did they cart those immense stones for ten miles? If over you go to Iowa, don’t fail to visit tho Walled lake.

There are rcors of boys in every city, town and village in the conn, try who have a habit of spending their evenings oa the streets or in plaoes of que-licnablo reputation. A most dangerous practice, moral' ly, yet why this should be so nt ono can explain, as eight in ten of these hoys have good homes; homes that to some woold boa paradise, yet when thoy are kept at home for an evening they ap pear to he uneasy and out of their element. These boys, whoso ages range from fourteen to nineteen, havo been permitted to go out of an evening from lime to time until it has becomo a regular habit, and before their parents realize it, or know wiiere the boy spends bis time, they have becomo effected with the immoral atmosphere sur rounding the corner loafer, and the poison thus absorbed has bo- gun its awful work. Then it is parents begin to lead a lifo of wor- ryment sod anxiety as to the fu ture of their hoy. They realize that no one would want to employ them when they desire work. Not a very pleasant outlook for the fu ture welfare of tho hoy to say tho least. When a boy who has a pleasant home, with everything about him that elevates, with in dulgent parents, begins to feel un easy, restless and out cf his cle ment ; when he feels that he would rather be iu tbe society of the low and dopraved. listening to unclean talk, than at home; then it is that an cztra effort most bo mado, or the future of that hoy is ruin — Thou it is, too, that the parents awake to a kaowloJgo ot tho fact that a despeiale struggle has got to ho made to reclaim tho boy.— There are hundreds of mothers who realize this and who havo sous that bare grown by their indul genco, beyond their control, and they feel that it i. all but an im possible task to undertake to check them in their dowuward course.. Yet those mothers are ready to do what tboy oan. Hut itow often they fail in their goad intentions, simply because they went st it wrong. They bc^an a course of lectures, instead ot making home, especially tbo boy’s room, more at tractive, providing interesting reading and ether diversions, to interest tbo boy’s mind. Invito good company to your bouse, mothers, this winter. Let tbe mothers ot a neighborhood club together and devise a series of en tertainments and amusements that will so occupy their boy’o atten tion that he will not find limo to loaf on tho corners or sit around bar rooms, listening to the vulgar talk of the depraved. The winter months are mere destructive to the morals of young men, who seek amusements away from their homes, than any other lime of the year, as they are forced by the weather to seek out warm and oomfortablo places where lively company U to be found. Where else, than the saloon, is such a place to be found away from the home 1 Fathers and mothers har. it in th.lr pew.r to coanteraot tb. evil influences that beset youth, it tboy will but devise ways and means suited to the tastes of th. young, and not forget that they were once young and did not enjoy a continual lecture on morals any more than their own children to day.
