"And then I waken the birds of spring 'Ho, ho!

The last tie of the mighty Union Pacific was the first tie in the march of civili zation into the great "west." With t.li thunder of iron wheels and ( ho rsverlwront screpch of the whistln. ! the Indian, the buffalo, the desperado lied, the overland coach became a mem ory and the cowboy changed his buck skin for New York shoddy. Later, as the gigantic Pacific system stretched out its arms to the north and south and absorbed the alkali bottoms of Wy- lining, the sage brush plains of Idaho, I the pine forests of Oregon, even the 'ava beds of northern California, the lioneers of Ml) and the miners of 'ti3 be jtime a curiosity, and the men who had subdued the wilderness from the back uf an untamed mustang were styled "moss backs" by the "tourist coach" emigrants and relegated to the back ground. Little more than a decade has passed since the Oregon Short line pushed its way along the great valley of the Snake and laid Idaho tributary to its iovcreignty; yet, in so short a time, I b-.'came an "old tinier," and, as I looked ,ut on the crowd that had taken the pluses of thos4 who greeted me as a "tenderfoot," I mentally repeated the motto of the new "west:" "Keep up with the bnrd wigon or full in the rear." Typical of the Probdingnagian strides of this new order of things, thirty rotting skeletons cumber a ram shackle row of sheds on the suburbs of lioise. Sun and wind, rain and snow find their way down and through the t.ogleeted roof upon their bodies, anil ns year after year goes by they answer 'o the n"-' nvi t'io pl',m-its, and fall uway into dust and oblivion. Yet thev deserve a better fate. On their weathor-lx-ntcn forms are the murks of rifle bullets; within their pro tccting sides came the best blood of the east, to find new homes and extend the empire of the great republic. These thirty leather-springed, steel-ri'iW-d overlund stages were for yean the one connecting link between the liardy miners and pioneer of southern Idaho anil "home." Their very sight recalls Indian fights, highway rol Wira and durc-ilevil flights. In them lives the essence of the fast dying "Wild West" Their day Is past; their past is but a tale; their present is for gotten. I asked Owyhee Joe about them once. ' Owyhee Joe had Wen a famous driver. Will) stories are tnld of hisdnring trips up from WiniieiiiiK'i'B or out from lioise with a cnurli well loaded with gold dust, prosiH-ctiirs and government mail. Like lien Ilolliday ami Yuba I, ill, his achievement live ill the niein ry ami on the tongues of the oldest inhabitants and gruw in luster a the years pass. i It was a hot, sultry afternoon.

We made a bee line 'cross country to head him off. Changed hosses three times. Vie struck his trail, found whar his hoss had broke down an' he'd stolen another. That stolen hoss meant a necktie party. Sabe? "In twenty-four hours we came in sight of him. Hoss played out. Game up. Nothin' but sand and sag-e brush fur miles, excent ono lne troo. Kinder placed there by Providence, McConnell said. Thar thet young feller set one leg over the horn of his saddle. Fine looker. Stood six in his stockintrs. I knew him the minute I sot eyes on "o nucty jur, uuv never Lvviirireu. UiU McConnell war ahead, and he opened the meetin' without singin'. " 'Good morning, stranger.' " 'Good morning.' " 'Seen anything of a man about your sine straddle of a sorrel mare look in' a heap like the one you ride?' " 'No, I haven't.' " 'That's a purty good mare o' yourn.' " 'Yes, she was worth a cool five hun dred dollars, but she's a little winded now; say, mister, I'll give you five hundred dollars clear for that one o' yourn and stop the deal,' Ue was making a good bluff, Mister Editor. Hoss stealin' in them days was death on the spot. lie knewjwe war on him. His offer would well pay for the broken-down hoss, and ho war a bankin' that his money would pull him through. But, yer see, he didn't know McConnell. Mac had been cap'n of the vigilants back in '03, up in ther Basin, and had a name ter keep white. IIe just smiled at the man's innocence. 'That's a straight blind o' your'n, pard, an it stands us to come in, but we're thar an' hold you over. You look a leetle mite played out, p.s well as yer mare. If you'll jest get . wn an' jiue our little party, it'll stri-., i yer legs, an' mebbe ye need stretehin' n il over.' "He got a little white tinder the gills, but slid down without a word. We followed suit, and Agnew threw over his head a noose, an' passin' the other end over a limb of that lone old tree, nodded that things war ready. "That young fellow was game ter the last. Never moved a muscle. Seemed kinder like a shame. McCon nell went up to him and said: " 'Now, pard, is everything all right? Does it fit your neck accordin' to Iloyle?' " 'All right.' " 'Have you anything to Ray why this 'ere little picnic shouldn't pro ceed?" " 'Nothin'.' " 'Have ye got any word ter leave to yer friends? If ye have, make it short, fur we're goin' to break camp inside er ten minutes.' "That young feller took his eyeR off a bit of sage brush fur the first time and looked us straight in the eyes. His eyes war blue. I took notice OI that, u n' his face was clean Utid kind: of pure look! n He didn't mt in to be takiu' much interest in what war goin' on 'round him. Kinder had afur-away, talkin'-ter-the-nngels look. Made me feel as though I didn't count nohow. Kept thinkin' of something I learnt in Sundny school in Missouri when I warn't bigger nor that basket o' papers. 1 lien lie came to, an drawin u crumpled letter from his pocket, ! spoke with a kinder tremble in his voice: j " 'Perhaps you are a Wtter scholar ! nor I lie. If you'll jest rend that an' lie kind ennf to answer it, I'll tell yer wnat ter suy." "McConnell had already passed the roil of rnjie to -Urn Agnew and he hud drawn it taut.

THOSE BACHELOR GIRLS. How They Radiate Happiness and nave Inn. The world has improved in one re spect. There was a time when the woman who did not marry was sup posed to be a subject for jest; when it was concluded that she remained un wed because she could not do anything else. Nowadays it is all changed, and the woman who does not marry has a recognized position socially, and we have all grown wise enough to know that any woman who wishes can marry, says the New York correspond ent of the Pittsburgh Press. It is true she may not marry the man she most admires, but always she can marry some man; so that if she stays out her life alone is by her own choice. Then, too, the beautiful friendships that may exist between women are recognized, and the possibility of a home being made without a man in it is acertainty. In Hats, in dainty little houses, two or three bachelor women (they don't call themselves girls), j whose lives are so arranged that one can be the homekeeper while the other is out in the world, are happy and com fortable from day to day. j And better still, they are Mot only happy themselves, but they make less fortunate women glad by bringing j thein in to share some of their pleas-' ures. They give agreeable little dinner parties, they entertain in quiet ways, and always these women whose names are not heard in connection with votes, nor whose pictures are seen in the papers, as uniting those who inteud to remodel the city government. irk.. .iu... ... n , ... , .! ,i?ri:Vcll-kn0wnlH?ra,ryl paper is one of those women, and she wilt'-s ipr tul nephews and nVcecii' a lovely resting-place, managing to give it all the, attention required ina few hours before and after business.

Patten, warden of the In diana state? prison at JeiTersonville, has the record for superintending the quickest legal hanging ever accom plished in this or any other country, says the St. Louis Republic. The laws of Indiana prescribe that the death sentence must be executed between midnight and the dawn of the day set by the court. A man named Stone had butchered a whole family in Davis county, of that state, and had been condemned to death. The case was a celebrated one, and newspaper men from Indianapolis and Louisville went down to JeiTersonville in a perfect phalanx to witness and report the famous criminal's exit from this vale f tears. They arrived in the early evening, expecting to return to their homes on a train leovtng JeiTersonville about one o'clock, by which time they expected the execution to be over. To their intense disappointment and chagrin they discovered that the last train they could take departed from the prison town at twelve o'clock at night. Having determined this they set about arranging matters so they could see the hanging and yet catch the train. They telegraphed the circum stances ahead to the conductor, asking wj iium wiu hiiiiu until oibcr vua execution. Ue consented to hold It tU I 1...1.1 t. 4 I. ttl . . I. . five niinute only.
