THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR— -THtViM) AY. JAN. 2<. 1«W. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR A man can lx.* an optimist bc |cause he knows how foolish it is to lx.*. All men’s sins are committed in selfihuess, nine out of ten td women’s in sacrifice. There is nothing can make a man smoke good cigars so much ; us not to be able to afford them, | What astonishes a woman is if! ! any of the things she brags about her husband happens to come j true. The chief reason most men j want to go into business for them selves is they would do better working for somebody else. The difference between a com pliment and flattery is whether you get it or somebody else. A woman’s idea of a delicious dinner is where she received more compliments than anyone else. When a man gets to know a lot about a thing ho has achieved complete success at also knowing • I i how to be a bore about it. —New ! York Press. GOV.-ELECT ENDS VISIT TO DARIEN.

In 1850 a war party of Cheyennes had started out on foot to take horses and had got as far sduth as Black Butte creek—perhaps Big creek of the whites —which runs into the Smoky Hill river from the north, near where Fort Larited afterward stood. They had come to the banks of this stream and were sitting there resting, some of them drinking wa ter, otJiers lying down in the grass and sleeping. As they sat there, says Forest and Stream, one of the men saw coining over the prairie a coyote, slowly trotting toward the stream. It acted as if it smelled something. Now, it is the law that when peo ple are on the warpath they must not kill or injure either wolf or coyote. So no one thought of harm ing the animal, and the men sat there and looked at it, and one said to the other: “Sit still, now. I)o not frighten it. Let us see what it will do.” The coyote trotted along slowly until it had come To a sand bank at the edge of the water, and there, after smelling about a little, it be gan to dig and presently had partly uncovered the eggs of a snapping turtle and was beginning to eat them. But close by, lying on the sand, was a big snapping turtle, the mother that had laid these eggs. She s3w the coyote and commenced slowly to walk toward him. The coyote had his head down in the hole, busily devouring the eggs and saw and beard nothing, and in a moment or two the turtle was close to it and, darting out its long neck, seized him by the cheek and the ear, closing her jaws on him with a grip that nothing could loos- : on. The coyote yelled dismally and j tried to pull away, but could not. j The turtle was big and strong, and ! she began to hack slowly toward the ! stream. The coyote, howling with ' pain, pulled back as hard as he could and struggled desperately, trying to shake himself free. But the turtle held on and* marched steadily back- ; ward until she got into the water j and dragged the miserable coyote after her. Gradually the water got deeper and deeper, until it had reached the coyote’s body, and then presently its head disappeared, and the last the Indians saw of him Was his tail and his hind legs waving in the air. For some time the Indians sat there looking at the water and talk ing over what had happened, and at length they saw the body of the coyote rise to the surface and float away down the stream. So the old turtle protected her your*- i fffpjiPP xwv e ®iW fjtr 1 •'f r f f~-T A AA ' .V*/ AAAAAAAAA^AA^AAA^g^A^^^^i^^^I I ONE HONORED THOUSAND!
