The Beautiful Land of Rest.
There’s a realm of rest ovr the sunset hills,
And a life car free, I know,
For the breath of peace that the ev’niaK
brings,
And the soothing song that the tired one
sing*,
And the presence that calms ani stills,
Cometh out of the after glow.
There the sun sinks down on his weary way.
And the cooling shades appear,
And the sky is tinned with the mellow
light,
Of the window-glow of the home at
night
When th * wanderer, long astray,
Sees the welcome of loved onei near.
There the Home Lan 1 lies, the fair, Heaven
blesse 1,
An«l I turn where’er I roam,
To tbe setting sun that is e’er the same
Heavenly Father lighting the fireside
flame,
On the hearth ot the Wanderer's Home,
In the Beautiful Realm of Rest.
—Lit li. Cake, in Detroit Fre: Press.
TIGER LILY.
A mid-summer moon was shining
down on the uneven surface of the wild
mountain plateau; the lights of the lit¬
tle settlement shone like yellow dots of
flame, here and there. Tonight the
barracks—t ere rude wooden enclosures
they were, as flint iiy constructed a3 a
child's card-houic—were ia tcitless
commotion, for the men were to break
camp (in tho morrow.
S..\ months they had been stationed
at Otnayo. When first the straggling
icttlement sprang up around the moun¬
tain mine, whose hiddru treasures had
attracted tho inhabitants, there had
been trouble with tho wandering Indians
who haunted the s!oj es higher up — as
much the fault of the wh ti.s as of the
led men, it is but ju,t to say.
But the United Slates pro ects its
own, and a body of me 1 were stationed
at one ■ at Otnayo, until the settlement
was strong enough, figuratively speak
-ng, to stand on its own feet. And now
ihe emergency was over, and the sol¬
diers had been ordered to a military
post a bundle 1 miles or so to tho north¬
west.
Old Joe Jernigan sat smoking his
pipe on tho board platform in front of
his ‘‘General Supply S.ore.”
All the evening it ltal been full of
customers, 1 ut now, as the hands of the
wooden clock neared the figure nine, lie
was nt liberty to come cut to Ills splint
chair a nd smoke his pipe and state at
the moon, while Captain Irvittg Ismay
sat on the cracker barrel iusitlj and
talked with JJiy.
Lily was Jernigan’s niece and bool -
keeper, and in addition to litis the Very
apple of bis eye—a tall, dusky-eyed,
hands on) ■ girl, with n peachy complex¬
ion, and hair full of bronze glints and
■deams.
f ‘Tiger Lily,” (he miners called her,
sometimes in lefercnco to the fime spirit
of Iter own that she had, and a self-as
sertion which she was very apt to show
if once she suspected that any of them
were not treating her with <lut respect.
Lily was adding up the books for the
day. (Old Joo was no scholar, and
Hnew nothing of bookkeeping by dou
bio entry. “The gal knows enough for
us both," he was wont to say, with a
certain pr.de, as lie looked toward the
wooden-rude 1 desk where she wrote
down the varion; items of sale and bar
ter with an t-ag’e’s q.iill pen, (lippel in
ink mKloof pokiborry jiic?.) Anil
Captain Ismay was bid ling her
-by.
* “Slio lfinfss «, IKkI?,
said Joo to himself, still storing
lastly up at the moon, “lie's been a
deal o’ comp tny for her. It ain’t as if
she could bring herself to associate with
every fellow at tho O.nayo Alines, for
Lily always was particular. Rut then a
hundred nfles ot so don’t count for
much out here, atl if ho aikt permis¬
sion to come aud see her once iu a while
I shan’t say no. My poor little Tiger
Lily 1 I brought her out here became
there didn’t seem no place to leave her
in the State of Vaimount, and she’s
been rare and useful to tne, there’s no
denyin’ that. But it’s a lonesome plaea
for a g tl to com ■ to; yes, it is. And
the Captain's a line follow, but ho ain’t
no handsomer for a man than Lily is for
a gal. So fur’s I can see, I shall be
the only man who will be a loser by the
bargain. Eh? Ti that you, Reuben
Dorsay? Set down a spell, No, we
ain’t shut up yot, but the post bag's
been gone twenty mi ulcs and more.”
“Gone, eh?” said Reuben Dorsay, the
young foreman of the force now em¬
ployed in establishing telcnraphic com¬
munications between O.nayo and Center
City. ‘ Well, it's no great matter. To¬
morrow \ri.l do very well. Nice night,
Jernigan, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
The old mail smoke 1 on.
“The military division is getting
ready to moye tomorrow.”
“So I’m tol l.”
“The captain's inside,isn’t he,talking
to L'ly 1
J rnigan nodded without removing
his p’pu from his mouth.
Dorsay half rose, then sat down
again.
“Well,” said he, “I guess I won't
disturb them ”
Jernigan answered only by a sort of
sly chuckle.
“A nice man, that young Ismay?’’
Once more old Joe nodd d.
“They’ll get more civilize 1 quarters,
I’ve heard, at Morton’s Past,” observed
Dorsay, leaning back against the cedar
post that formed one of the columns of
the rule portico. “I may s wife is to
meet him there.”
‘ ‘Ismay’s which?"
“H;s wife. From Sacramento City.
Didn't you know he wa; married to
old General Purviance’s daughter? A
runaway match, two years ago. Quite
a romantic story! ’
t‘No,” said Joe Jernigan, “I never
heard it."
Dorsay talked a little longer, but
old Joe paid no sort of attention to
his words. He did not even know
when the young ’ foreman went away,
“Ismay's wife! jj 0 repeating
(o himself—“Ismay’s wiie! What will
Lily say—poor LHy •—when she knows
it? By ptim! I’ve a mind to pitch the
fellow down into the gulley when he
comes out! What business has a mar
ried man lurking around here, talking
nonsease to the gir!si But he’ll find
it won’t pay to fool with my Tiger
Lily! No, that it won’t!’
Captain Ismay went away presently,
with a careless, good-humored adieu.
The old man glared at him as ho dc
parted, with re i, savage e;es like those
of a Spanish bull who faces tho mata
dor.
The moment ho bad vanished behind
ihe madrona thickets, Jeraigan sprang
up aud made for the solitary road by a
short-cut which would be sure to inter
cept the wayfarer some quarter of a mi le
below.
In liis hand lie grasped bis open jac't
kuife; bis heart beat like a muffled
drum.
‘‘My Tiger Lily !” he kept repeating
to himself; ‘‘tny own little ewe lamb!
There’s but one way to deal with the
scoundrel who comes here to make a
football of her heart. No cap tan in all
the United States army can do that, an 1
hope to escape alive!”
He stood there waiting, but Ismiy did
not come that way.
“I'm baffled for once,” Jemigati mut¬
tered. “He ha. laden the Redwood
road this time. No matter! I’ll hunt
him down yet. He’s to be in the place
twelve hoars longer. T.tey’il have to
detail another captain for duty at Mor¬
ton’s Pass, that's all. 1 shall hear him
when lie comes down past the Echo
R ek, and I shall b:; ready for him!”
•
He letttrned slowly—still drawing
his breath quick and fast—to the
wooden platform all steeped in moon¬
light, and sat down once more in the
old splint chair.
Inside the store he could hear Ldy’s
light step) moving around, as she
locked the cash drawer aud put the
ledger and day-book away.
As she did so, she hummed a snatch
of some tune. The sounl went to old
Joe’s heart.
Poor chil 11 how innocently happy she
was 1
In a minute or so she came out into
the clear white moonshine.
I 4 Well, Uncle Joe." she said gaily.
“Wed, my la s! ’
The words were almost like a groan.
Flic sat down bei.de him, leaning her
bead against bis arm.
He stroke 1 down the bronze, gleam¬
ing ltair with a dumb strength of long¬
ing tenderness in his heart.
Her cheeks were unwontcdly red; her
dark eyo.s sparkled beneath their long
lashes.
“How shall I 'ell her?” thought the
°kl man. “My pet Fun It, that 1
wouldn t hurt for a kings ransom! 1
never was one to pick and choose my
words, like a preacher or a lawyer. But
she'd ought to know—yes, she’d ought
to know!”
‘■Uncle Joe!” said Lily, after a tno
nient or two of silence.
‘■Ye,s, my girl!”
“There—there’s something I want to
tell you. ”
“Is there, I^ily?”
His heart sank withia him. Wat it
coming now?
“You won’t be vexed, Uncle Joe?”
s’ e said, nestling her hea 1 close against
his arm.
“1—vexed with you, my girl* That
»»>’< Ht>--’m.l-dowaJ|kcy,
Lily—I’ve forgot that
a great rough ma t like me ain't the sort
to look after a tender chick bkr you. I
should ’a watched closer, Lily—that's
what I should have done.”
“What should you say, uncle,” whis¬
pered Lily, “.f—if lam to get married
and leave you?’’
“To—.get married, Lily?”
“Haven’t you suspected this, uncle,
of late?”
“Yes, I have,” said he, “but, oli,
Lily, is your heart very much in this?”
“Uncle!’
“Hits lie asked you to marry him,
Lily?’
“Yds, unc’.o. v
“Then”—tho* old man flung his clay
pips down upon the ground, where it
broke into a score < f fragments, and
muttered a deep execration under h.s
breath—“he’s a villain, that’s all.”
“Uncle! 1 cti.d out the girl.
“An 1 a double-dyed one at that!”
said the excited old man. ‘Lily!
Lily! he has a wife already at Mjrtou’s
Pass! He’s going to her now. ”
Lily had lilted her head and looked
earnestly at her un tie.
“Bat unc e, he isn’t going to Mor
t n’s Pass.’
1 Yes, l*e is-^tomorrow. A ad X wish
hcVl fallen dead before he ever came to
Qmayo w.th his epaulettes and Itis
j ogling spurs, aud his false, handsome
face
“L'ne’.e!” cried Lilv, “whom are you
talkin * abou‘ ?”
“About Captain Ismay, to-be-sure.”
“But what has Captain Ismay to do
with it ?”
“Everything, hasn't he?”
Lily knit her pretty brows in a puz
zled fashion.
“Nothing at all,” said she, “except
that he's been aa excellent friend tJ
Reuben, and we're both ever so much
obliged to him. Only think, uncle—
he’s got the contract for Reuben to be
chief electrical engineer at North Mari¬
no in the new works there, and when
uncle— ’ *
ever you can spare tne
“Reuben! ’ burst cut Jo'e Jernigan.
“Yes, to-be-sure—Reuben Dorsay.
We’ve been engat^ 1 a long time now.
Do you mean, you dear, darling, stupid
old uacie, that you never suspected
this?”
“Never’.’ said Uncle Joe, smiting his
knee with his H-t. “But look here,
Tiger Lily, do you love hint!”
“Yes, Uncle Jce.”
“Anri he lover you!”
“Of course he does.”
‘Then,” sa.d the old man, “I haven't
a word of objection. I shall be awful
lonesome without you, but as loDg as
you’re both hippy, why, it’s all right.”
And as lie kissed her forehead, slie
thought she felt the touch of a tear
drop on her brow,
"But it can’t be possible,” said T.gcr
Lily, to herse.f, ‘‘because who ever
heard of Lnc’« Joe shedding a tear.’’
But Tiger Lily did not know that this
tear was not one of grief, but rather of
thankfulness that there was no blood
guiltiness on his hands .—Saturday
Sight.
“
The Wild Mustang Pony.
There are still bands of wild mustang
ponies in Southern Texas. As you
know, these are supposed to be the de
scendants of the Spanish horses which
were allowed to run wild by the first
Spaniards whj came to Mexie >. It is
most probable that the mustang had
some part in originating most of the In¬
dian ponies.
The wild mustangs always ga'.her in
large binds, and arc very suspiciom at
the approach of a person. They do not
corns near selt cmeuts or ranches tut
le-:s forced to by lack of water, The
princ pal colors that are folia 1 in this
breed are dun and mouse; in lean horses
a black streak is found along the back,
but tiiis disappears as the animal fattens
up. Spottsd or “paints” may be found
occasionally; it is not uncommon to fiud
mustangs with a white str.nk down the
face, but this occurs generally in
‘‘paints.” The mustangs have a long,
flowing mane and tail, medium withers,
body generally rounlcl, h.ps short,
deep breast, and a generally deep neck.
The eyes are inclined to Its sunk in aud
keen.
The mustangs thrive better on gra-s
than any other breed of hortcs, and it
is on account of that tint they have
been raised for cow ponies, although
they may be uted for general purpose?.
They generally have a vicious disposi*
tion, but if properly handled they may
be made very docile. A very remark¬
able fact is that mares carry their foal*
somewhat longer than other breeds.
This is probably dm to their running
wild, living on grass, anil having to
stand winters without shelter. Wild
mares on ran^e often sell from $15 to
$25, but they arc worth a great deal
more when broken, averaging from §-'K)
to $55, allhough I hava known of them
selling at $150. Horses used for cow
ponies range from $ 10 to $60.
Watch Out.
When it is necessary for you to go
among machinery in motion, just as you
atari in “watch out.” Mniy a man has
started to go around among shafting
and belts in motion to do oiling and
necessity work, and come back on n
board, never able to tell how bo lost his
life—a bloody splash here, a part of a
limb there, reveu tin pine j and cause
of the accident. The poor fellow did
not “watch out, ” hence tho lifeless body
that lays before us.
Not many years ago this was one of
the sad scenes 1 witnessed. A hm bo .
loved by every one of the 504
began. In five minutes poor
before them dead. The battered oil
can was fum y clutched in his hand aud
a frightful gash in Itis hea l told the sad
talc—he didn’t “watch out. > >
Quito a few years ago the proprietor
of a large shop in a New England city
where locomotives were built saw a
,, t n ^ L , a¥ ^ Lil^Tto T„i»
^ ^ 1<wa(chi out » and
put it on as quick as the proprietor
wanted him to, so he said: “— it,
come down aud let me put it on.” The
proprietor in his hade a id anger, did

Desperadoes Mho Were Fine Shots.
There never were finer pistol shots iu
the world than many of the noted des¬
peradoes atvl killers who have figured
in the romantic criminal annals of the
west. There is scarcely a story of Wild
Bill’ sproficiency with a pistol that is not
trite. He was the quickest, surest shot
ever in the west. He had kille t nearly
forty men in his time, “not counting In
dians and greasers, as the bad men
[ u eJ P U ' a,aatl y to sav ' It victim was the rar
i est thing that he shot hri more
than once. His favorite spot in whick
to plant his deadly bullet was between
the eyes. He occasionally shot liia
man through the heart by way of varia
! ‘ion. It is said that be could throw an
oyster can into the air and put twelvi
Juliets into it from his own navies be
fore it reached the groun 1. lie could
j also scad ti:; bullets through the hole
made by the first ball in a target seven
t>' wds away. Wnile shooting he
never appeared to take aim but sent hi,
leadca messengers flying on their mis
■?ioa ia seemingly the mo>t careless and
off-hand way imaginable.
All the killers with big records and
private graveyards shot in much th«
same manner. Billy the Kid Ciav At
lison Bit Misterson, Sain Holliday, the
[ Earp brothers, “Co umauche” Jack
Stillwell, aud other worthies of the
frontier all shot with no apparent aim.
All of them were professional killers,
and in their later days, when abundant,
of practice had made them dexterous ia
the art of murder, most of them shcrf
tlieir victims always between the eyes,
in imitation of Wild Bill.
Beds Mere Bundles of Straw.
In the early period of modern history
beds were almost universally in Europ,
nothing but bundles of straw. As lat<
in England as the time of Qu“ea Elisa¬
beth nn carpets were used aud the floor,
were strewn with lushes, and the beds
1 were hardly anything better than a rudt
j bench or any rude framework which
j lifted it above the floor.

cries for food from some young pelicans

was quite near them, with considerable
curiosity. It would flutter an instant
over its prey, then plungo down, and
with open, dip-net bill resting on the
water w r ould adjust the catch in the ca¬
pacious pouch beneath. In one of these
expeditions a gull, with trained an l
eager eye, hovering near, sctlled down
on Papa Pelican’s broal bead, and as
the fish was tossed about so as to drop

away with a derisive “ha, ha! ’ while
the pelican, as if accustomed to this sort

But the gull, as the boys speedily saw,

Back Number Horses.
“Old B ll’s best days are over, and
he must be put in with the ‘limpers,’”
a superintendent of a street car line re¬
marked as a bay horse whose ribs al

from a car toward the stable. “This is

there are at least 3000 horses in the clif

disposed of as useless every year. You
would Ire surprised at some of the prices
paid for these seemingly worthless ani¬
mals. We sold five lame and emaciated
horses yesterday for $4 ) apiece. After
six months good feeding and light work
on a farm the animals will be fat and
brisk ami might readily sell for $125.
I have known cases where we have sold
our animats as low as $20 a head, and
iu a year’s time the purchasers have re¬

COWS SERENADED THEM.
How an Ohio Couple Were Greeted on
Their Marriage Eve.
There was great fun out in Delaware
township the other night. Merle Sours,
sixty five years old, married a girl of
about seventeen summers, ami the boys
in the neighborhood determined to give
them something out of the ordinary mis&ief in
the way of a charivari. The
makers came to this city and iresli purchased
two pailfuls of blo.nl, from a
slaughter house, and carried it out where
the newly-married couple December were to spend and
ttie night. As stain as
May had retired these boys slipped into
the yard surrounding the house and
poured a stream entirely around the
premises. Haring accomplished half doz¬ this
without detection they tlrove a
en cows into the yard ami then conceal¬
ed themselves to await developments.
The fun began at once. The cows in
sooner sniffed the blood than thev com¬
menced bellowing frantically and could
ea-i v be hoard a mile away. Other
cows “caught on” and soon there came
a procession of b .vines from nearly
every farm in the township, vehement all bellow¬
ing in the most and stamped and manner. pawed
They fought and bellowed in chorus
the ground un¬
til the bridal couple fairly went wild
front the annoyance. Whoa the tumult
was at its height the bride groom, envel
ope lin are 1 flannel garment, was seen to
emerge from the door with a huge club in
his hand, but hits appearance in such a
co.-tume only added fuel to the (lame,

generous piece bride out of in the meantime

screaming at the top of her voice. Again
and again during the night did Decent
her attempt to dispose of It s unique
charitari party, but without avail, ns
often would they return to their bloody
trail. All this time the cows were
augmenting in number until not less
than duO cattle surrounded the house,
while from every direction came tlio
answering bellow of new recruits, has¬
tening to thebridol demonstration which
was so freely being bestowed upon old
man Sours and itis youthful wife. Not a
wink of sleep came to the couple eait’e that
night, but by early morning file
had so effaced all trace of the blood by
their pawing and tramping that it no
longer acted as an attraction, and one
by one they left the old man and his
bride in their glory. It was the strung
est and most successful charivari on
record.
