the beautiful scenery, with the
ragged rocks in the distance,
that go to hold the plains on top
and with the sights of fat cattle
on all sides, it is worth the while

it is a beautiful sight to again

better every time you get away

A Day's Outing
_ The editor in company with
Mr. Thurston, made a day's spin
after the prairie dog, and coyote
kind, this week, and in our rounds
and travel we went over parts of
this fine country that we had
never s^en "before. Our trip was
south to White River thence into
and across the famous Half Circle
S ranch. We saw one coyote on
the spin and had the fortune to
bring in the tails of more than a
dozen prairie dogs, and on our
return after we were within
one mile of Crosby ton we
had the pleasure to chase, just to
scare them, a fine pair of antelope.
Not a shot was fired at the-coy-
ote, for the reason that the dis-
tance was too great and the move-
ment of the animal too swift for
a rifle bead, the antelope were
not fired upon, for the reason
that it's a violation of laW to do,
such and from other facts, that
our last catridge had been fired

A woman who was attracted^,
by the bright face of a little
colored boy stopped him one day
to have a few wo?ch 'wltti hiTn —
"How old are you, Pome?" she
asked.
"I's je' precedin' my teens,
missy," he answered, promptly.
"And have you brothers and
sisters?" continued his ques-
tioner.
"Habn't got a brudder4 nor a
sister nor a fadder nor a mudder"
said the little darky, solemnly.
"I'mall there is ob us, missy."
