The Texas Anvil, in speaking of the girls and* their many lovely traits, has this to say: •‘If tlieie is anything we know less about than we think we do it is the girl; and of this the girl is glad, for there is nothing she hates to be known about her so bad as the truth. We have been acquainted with her for a long time and watched her pranks from afar, seen her cut the “piueon wing” and knock the “back step” in the back yard, when she thought she had no spectator; but still we don’t know her From the time she is big enough io swing on the gate and tie a ribbon in a double bowknnt she begins to locate a sweetheart, and she keeps this up until lie is located in the back yard exercising his talents dis seeling stove wood. She may lie a little dull on math¬ ematics, but invariably solves the problem of putting a No. 5 foot in a No. 3 shoo. She will wear out twofold dresses running around to find out how to make a new one in Hie latest style. Slit: will break the point off .her brother's knife making a crack to peep at the strangers „wltenl they come visiting. She will walk three blocks out of the wav t<* get a peep at her beau, and then pass by without looking at him. She will talk with yon two hunt's without being aide to iepeat'a word you have said, but will know how long vou have worn your duds and how many buttons have lost their grip. with Mie will attend church, listen absorbed interest to eloquent and pit belie sermons, then return home and expatiate upon the horrible lit ot .Miss Snow’s new basque. She will go'the table, mince over d iier.cies with t lie most fastidious laMe, tli* n s’ip back in the kitchen lid then eat a raw potato. She will wear out her best shoes aneing all day, and then attend a bail at night and complain ol be ing out of practice. She will spend all night wiitmg a carefulIv worded letter, ill the mo t precise hand, to her Simon Suggs, then scratch off a page to her sister that Old Harry couldn't read. She will be the most devout creat¬ ure on earth, and bale the earth that Saliie Grimes walks on. She will be industrious and eco¬ nomical for a month, then spend her savings for a red ribbon. She will slouch around the house fora week making preparation to look neat on Sunday, She will flirt with the best young men in the ne’ghb..rhood, and finally marry some knotty headed Inn Crow. “Why do the hcatlien rage?” said the minister to his congregation A Montana man who was dozing in his seat waked up enough to snort out: •‘Probably that durned agent has been putting too much water in the reservation whisky.” She didn't mean ! 1 'h•> , w.-v. of course but young DeQuiHe, haring succeeded, after r ears of effort, i’ getting a “poem” acc-epttd by Puck, felt quite hurt by his wife’s glcelVl cry: ••Wiiat!

Mr. D I. Wilcoxon, of Horse Cave, Ky., says he was lew many years, badly' afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains were almost un endurable nad would , sometimes al , most throw him in,to convulsinons. He tried Electric Blitters and got re lief from the first bottle and after taking six bottles, was entirely cured and had gained in flesh eighteen pounds. Says be positively believes h® would have died, had it not been fnr the relief afforded by Electric Bitters sold at fifty cents a bottle by W || Lee BILL NYE’S BOYHOOD Why EeDoas Not Particularly Year* To /' he a Boy Again. If I /ere ahoy wilH again, endowed with the same passion for 77 ons in the dark i lie moon, I would no don lit fall a victim to that overmastering passion as I did before, but looking at it as I do now, I would be wiser. Boys, cannot however, have the mature judgment of manhood without the experience and the rheumatism that go with it. So it . . is better that . in our childhood we may be able to eat a l^w turnip with safety, and know something later on in life. I notice a great, change in myself while com paring my present condition with that ol joyous boyhood. Then I had no sense, but I bad a good digestion. The hurrying years have cavorted over m 3 ’ sunny head till the}’ have worn it smooth, but they have left a good deal yet for me to learn. I am stiil engaged in learning during the day and putting arnica on my expe¬ rience at night. Childhood is said to be the most gladsome period in our lives, and in some respects this statement may be regarded as reliable, but it is not all joy. I have had just as much fun in later years as I did in boyhood, though the people with whom I have been thrown in contact claim that their experience has been different. I hope they do not mean anything personal by that. I do sometimes wish that I could lie a boy again, but I smother that wish on account of my parents. What they need is rest and change of scene. They still enjoy children, but they would like a chance to se lect the children witli whom they as sac i ate. My parents were blessed with five bright-eyed and beautiful little hoys, three qf whom grew up. and by flint in -niis became adults. I am in I bat condition myself. I am the oldest of the family with the exception ol’ mv parents. I nm still that way. My early life was rather tempestu ms in places, occasionally flecked with sunshine, but more frequently with retribution. I was m>t a very good roadster when young, and so retribution was ’most always just in the act of over taking me. While outraged justice was getting in its work on me, the other boys escaped 1 I 1 rough a very small aperture in the fence. This is another reason why I do not yearn to be a a boy again. When we ran away from school to catch chillis, and when we built a fire to cook them anil the fire got in to the tall, dry grass and binned four miles of fence, and sixteen tons of hay fora gentleman for whom to imped put out the fire, the other boys es and have so remained ever since. A just retribution has never had auy difficulty in overtaking me and walking up and down tny r wish bone. When a party of us had been en gaged in gathering caster eggs in the barn of a gentleman who and was he away from home at the time, re turned just as we had filled our pockets with tiie choicest vintage of his sunkissed liens, the other boys escaped while I was occupying the attention of the dog, and I had tc slide out of the second story of the barn. It is still in my mind as I write. I wore my father’s vest at that time, and it was longer than was necessary. M 3 ' father was larger than I at that time, for I was only nine Real's of age and had not arrived at my full stature. In slid ing down the batten I discovered that the upper end of it was loose, and that my flowing vest had slipped over it, so that when I got down about foui feet I hung with the board buttoned inside my bosom and lbe scram bled egg oozing out of my knicker-bockers. II,e batten had sprung back against the barn in such a w®y as to prevent ,ny unbuttoning my vest and while! hung there on the sue of the barn like a coon skin the pro prietorcame around and accused me of prematurely gathering his eggs. I had heard truth very highly spoken oi by my people, who dab bled in it more or less, and aa \ re solved to try it in this instance. So I admitted that such was tiie case, and it was tiie best thing I could have done, for the man said as 1 had been so frank witli him lie would take me down as soon as he got his other work done, and he was as good ns his word. After lie had milked nine cows an,d fed nine calves lie came around with a ladder and took me down. He al so spanked me and set the dog on me, but I did not mind that, for I was accustomed to it. To hang on the side of a barn, however, like an autumn leaf, trying to kick large holes in the atmosphere, is disagree able. The incident . cast ± a gloom o'er mj whole life. It has also reconciled me to the awful decree that I can never be a boy again. Bull Nye.
