THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, SUNDAY MOB Nl KG. NOVEMBER 11 1854 LIF'E IN LANDS. WESTERN By Ella L. Guptlll. From Home and Country (New York) for November. Visiting- one of these ranches one day, I found the woman of the house helping her husband rolling logs. She was rather abashed at being found en gaged In such unwomanly occupation, but her embarrassment was soon lost In the interest and enthusiasm, with which she showed me about the place. "My husband," she said, proudly, 'wa3 a mechanic In a large city, and as the years went by we began to real lo the absolute hopelessness of our dreams of owning a home. We had become reconciled to this; but, you know, with four growing children we became poorer each year and dreaded the future. After he had lost all cour age the thought occurred to my bus. band that the government gave him the right to a hundred and sixty acres of land. After a good deal of thought and Investigation he made the venture, and while the work has been hard, we have never regretted It. The coun try about us has grown up to such an extent that we are able to have six months of schooling for the children out of the year. Then there are good roads now, and it Is easy to get pro duce to market. We have our own team, so that we can get to town easily and, do you know, we have Just bought a town lot, eo that after a little while we can build upon it and leave the ranch in care of a man during the winter while we live In town. Then we can give thj children all the advan tages of a good education. We begin to feel quite Independent now, and the thought that we will be comfortable In our old age, and can give our chil dren some help toward a start in life, Is very encouraging." To be sure this brave woman had found the social privation hard to en dure, and as she was a Sabbath-loving woman, said she felt sometimes that she was living a heathenish sort of life, so far away from the Christian influence of churches. AN AMUSING INCIDENT. (Washington Times.) Among the figures which have ap. pea red in the hotel lobbies since the race tracks opened Is that of a small, stoop-shouldered man, neither yoiing nor old, with small, sharp features, a slight limp and a good-humored air about him. But you have to see "Tom my the Tout" to appreciate him. A friend of mine told me the following story of him: "I ust ter be a Jockey, and I wusn't as bad a Jock as some we see here. I was tron off, and that's why I limp. But dat ain't wat I started In to say. Tou see I halnt been here long and the town ain't what I tought it wuz, but the other day I run up against a soft thing and I played in great luck. DIs Jockey Joe wld his sheap ties has done spoilt my biz, and It's only when I get let In on the ground floor that I makes a klllln'. "Well, the other day I played the races and I wuz in hard luck. At de end of de third race I was clean out. The bookies had all my dust. But somebody gave me a tip on Jo Jan an told me he was a sure thing. But I wuz out of rocks. I laid aroun' waltin' for a sucker and tought sure I wuz goln' to get left out of de game, until aroun' came a guy wld his nan' full of blils, and he was so tanked up! He had a skate on sure! Well, I seed my chance in a mlnnit and I sez to him: " 'Pard, put your money on Jodan.' "He swung aroun a pos and strait ened up. " 'My friend,' says he, 'Do you know that I came over here with $1,500 which I had saved to get married, and I have Just $15 left?' "I sed to him: 'Mebby yer have, but I tink it's a sure ting.' "He looked at me an looked at de board. Jodan stood 100 to 1. He straightened out and wid a plunge he shoved his dough in de face of de bonk. ie and got a ticket. ' "It wuzn't long before he was sobeh enought. Dere is no use In telling de fitory of de race. Jodan won, and yes terday I got dis out of de mall bag," .and he showed a small diamond ring with an inscription in It. "'100 to l. Touch Me Light Tommie the Tout. Jodan.' " i i ACCOUNTED FOR. ' ' ' 1 . I am rot feeling well today, But why I cannot see; I had some ice cream 'cross the way, And pancakes home for tea. I also had some caramels And sugared almonds, too, - And when I met with Tommy Wells, A stick of fine to'.u. But I was careful with each one Too much of none I ate; It cannot be that penny bun, And yet the pain Is great I had six cookies, but Ive had Six cookies oft before; They've never left me feeling bad. Nor pickles three or more. The soda water couldn't make Me ill 'twas Billie's treat. I sort of think this fearful ache Comes wholly from thaheat. Harper's young People. 1 ; ATRE, THE "KID BOSS." The law library of John L. Aver, at torney and politician, says the Sun, is .in the hands of the sheriff, and will be sold at auction on the 22d Inst to satisfy two judgments against the own erone for $100, obtained by the West Publishing Company, of St Paul, and one for J45J.S6, obtained by A. N. Ter rilL The library was attached about a year ago, but aa it had not been de termined which claim had precedence, It was not seized. A few days ago it was decided that as Ayer had purchas ed the library from the publishing com WOMAN'S pany, and there was still $100 due on it. the company held the first claim, and Ton-ill th second. Accordingly, on Thursday evening the sheriff seized the books and Ayer's typewriter and deBk nn nn execution, and had tnem con vevori tn the court house. All told there were 191 volumes of the probable value of 11100. They will be sold by the sheriff in sets. The costs In the two cases amount In the aggregate to nhnnt 300. and there will probably be but little left after the costs and Judy ments are paid. The present whereabouts of Ayer is not known. Since he left Portland he has been frequently heard of In differ. cnt parts of the country, lastly in Mas suchusetts. A MARVELOUS TRIP. Captain Vehllng and His Family Reach the Island of Guahan in Safety. Captain Vehllng, wife and seven chll dren have succeeded In crossing the ocean in a twelve-ton schooner known under the name of the Kusslloff. They are now at the Island of Guahan, In the Ladrones. The trip Is a wonderful one, considering the fact his vessel Is so small. Many predicted! Vehllng would never reach his destination, but he knew what his small craft was ca pable of doing. In July, 1892, this same Captain Vehllng opened the eyes of the people on the San Francisco water front by bringing this same twelve ton ochooner Kusslloff Into port all alone, having made the voyage from Kodiak Island, Alaska, navigating the vessel by means of a pocket compass and a small Connecticut clock, which gained two hours and ten minutes on the twenty days' trip. On this occasion Vehllng was blown out to sea from Karluk and found him self, when the storm abated, on the broad Pacific with no one to help him, He knew he couldn't beat back to Kar. luk, so he headed for Coos Bay. At Coos bay he was blown off shore, and on he came for San Francisco, reach ing there July 21, 1892, after sailing an actual distance of something like 2,500 milc-s. Each one of the family took turns at the wheel, and stood watch on the voyage to the Island where they are now located. RESCUE CLUB. Met at 8 o'clock last evening, Rev.
