THE OUTLAW By Charles B.idjrer Clark, Jr., in the Pacific Monthly. When my loop takes hold on a two-year-old By the feet, or the neck, or the horn, He kin plunge and fight till his eyes go white, But I'll throw him as sure as you're born. Though the taut rope sing like a banjo string And the latigoes creak and strain, Yet I've no fear of an outlaw steer And I'll tumble him on the plain. For a man is a man and a steer is a beast, ( And the man is the boss of the herd; And each of the bunch, from the big gest to least, Must come down when he says the word. When my leg swings 'cross on an out law hawse And my spurs clinch into his hide, He kin r'ar and pitch over hill and ditch, But wherever he goes I'll ride, Let 'im spin and flop like a crazy top, Or flit like a wind-whipped smoke, But he'll know the feel of my row elled heel Till he's happy to own he's broke. For a man is a man and a hawse is a brute, And the hawse may be prince of his clan, But he'll bow to the bit and the steel-shod boot And own that his boss is the man. When the devil at rest underneath my vest Gets up and begins to paw, And my hot tongue strains at its bridle reins, Then I tackle the real outlaw; When I get ( Limb riled and my sense goes wild, And my temper has fractious growed, If he'll hump his neck just a triflin speck, Then it's dollars to dimes I'm throwed. For a man is a man, but he's partly a beast He kin brag till he makes you deaf, But the one, lone brute, from the West to the Best, That he kaint quite break, is him se'f.

Far Away the Comet Is Giobuiar : Mass, and as It Nears the Sun the Action of That Body Untwines the Tail, Which Is Never Recovered. Traveliiij; an comets do in very elon gated ellipses, with the sun lu one of the foci, as the attracting point is called, most of their journey is spent lu slow uneventfulness far away from the hearth of the system-hearth l9 just what the word focus means. They are then small globular aKKrepuions. sluu'Klsh and dim -a little roundish uebula In look Such they appear when first descried in the telescope coining in from space, for they are rarely seen at all until they have en tered within the orbit of Mars. Dis tance in part, but still more t heir own behavior till then, keeps them hid. Within this nebulosity, known as the head, appears as It nears us a bright spot, the nucleus Suddenly there oc curs a complete change in the deport ment of the body, one which renders It the observed of all observers, and in less civilized times occasionally its be ing held the harbinger of distress, dis ease and deaih. As soon as the comet pets near enough the heat of the sun sets up commotlou within it. By Very's deter mination of the temperature of the unblanUeted sunward side of the moon we are enabled to Infer that this heat is great at the earth's distance from the sun in spite of the cold of space. This temperature is 3H3 degrees F. And as the comet approaches the suu this heat must increase Inversely as the sipiare of the distance. At half the radius of the earth orbit It is al ready four times as great above abso lute zero, at a quarter sixteen times, and so on increasingly, the tempera ture rising Inio thousands of degrees. No wonder the comet acts as it does. It at once becomes uneasy, waxes iu light and. as the spectroscope reveals, disruptive electric discharges start in it which let out the imprisoned gases. Then begins that spectacular career of perihelion passage which makes the comet so superli an object and for which It lays so dear. The gases which are thus thnisi out from the interior of t lie separate nieieoriles, to gether with such particles of the iron as are made gaseous by the heat, fall prey to another force besides gravita tion. This force is the Impact of light Itself, the light emitted by the sun. That so immaterial a thing as a beam of light can have power to move even a pith ball is a conception not pasy to grasp. Yet there is no doubt of the fact, theoretically calculated years ago by Clerk Maxwell from his electro-niagnei ic theory of light, for the gaseous particles proceed to be repelled by the sun at enormous speed, each behaving exactly as it should by math ematical analysis if such were the oe sasionlng cause Evidently the light waves have a propelling power in the direction of their own motion equal to their own speed. Why. then, is it that the planets be tray no such effect In spite of their size? The answer Is. because of that very size Gravity acts on the mass, a matter ot three dimensions: the light force on the surface of the body, a matter of two. As a body diminishes lu size, therefore, its surface bears a greater and greater ratio to its mass until when small enough the second force is the stronger of the two. Tills relation is betrayed In the con duct of the tail. Tin imprisoned gases, heated to expulsion on the sun ward side ot the comet, rise toward It I in a series of exquisite mantling en velopes, as if the comet's head were veiling Itself from the too anient gaze of the sun Then, after rising to a certain height, theii initial impetus overcome, they fall hack, repelled by the light waves, although still attract- i ed bv gravity, and are driven out to i form the tall of the comet, fresh en- ; velopes taking their place. Sometimes only a single tall is form ed, but at others two or even three are shot out. and when this happens one Is nearly straight, one curved and one greatly bent Now. calculation shows that the repelling force In the case of the first Is fourteen times that of grav ity, In the second two and two-tenths times, or something less, and in the third only about one-rift h ot gravity, p.u! these are the very ratios which particles of hydrogen gas. of the hy drocarbons and of Iron or sodium would respectively show. As the comet approaches the sun the display becomes more violent and more spec tacular Finer and wilder grows the pageant, the "hairy star" loosening its tresses, which had stood sedately coiled about its head amid the depths of space, to stream In gorgeous gleams behind It as It pays its orbital obeisance to the ruler of its course. It seemingly backs awy Piano Contest Notice to the Public Owing to the fact that during our Piano contest, we will be compelled to have a very large amount of printing and advertis ing done we have made arrange- mer ts wjfh the Monmouth Her- aid to give to every new sub scriber to the Herald for one year 200 votes, and for two years 500 votes on our Piano, and the same rate will apply on all old sub- ; scrjptjons that are paid Up at i i 4. iir , once. Any one desiring to take , advantage of this oportunity will ; we Q s0 at once, as we cannot say how long this offer will hold good. Yours truly, Chaser Eros. EXECUTRIX'S NOTICE.

In keeping with the etiquette to royal ty, turning always its face sunward as it retreats whence it came. Rut It pays dearly for its display The matter going to form the rail can never be recovered, but is driven far ther away. Al each successive return to the sun Rome of its mass and bril liance is thus lost, and this is why the periodic comets, those that have made many visits, are such small and in conspicuous objects. It Is only the comets of long ellipses and very dis tant habit of which the perihelion pageant Is so fine. Youth's Compin ion Proved It. They were talking of birth and bleeding, and the man who hud a long line of famous ancestors aired some of his democratic ideas. "1 dou't plume myself on my for bears. 1 think they're a matter of i slight importance," he insisted. "A man stands on his own merits with me, no matter what his lineage." "I'm afraid you're not telling the exact truth,'' said a teasing friend. "1 can't help thinking you care a good deal for ancestry. This is a little bit of a pose you've taken up." "1 beg your pardon." said the ad vocate of equality, drawing himself to his full height. "1 scarcely think the great-grandson of one upright statesman and the grandson of an other would be likely to descend to a 'rose.' sir." Youth's Companion. A South Arabian Food Plant. Jowari, a tell, slender plant re sembling corn and headed with a grain something like millet, is the Alxlali's chief crop. He feeds the 6talks to his camels and eats the grain himself. Three crops a year are produced. Jowari requires lit tle cultivation except weeding, which the Abdali does by hand, and when ripe he cuts it oil close to the grounu wiu nis nunung Knue. ew shoots spring up from the roots to become the next crop. For a camel load of about 123 pounds he receives at Aden an average of 2 rupees, or $01.88, A fair yearly yield is twenty camel loads an acre. Consular und Trade Reports. Monmoufcli Bakery C. C.
