of the prairie is lost in qui$t
amazement. There is an awe until
him akin to that which man feels'
when he sees the ocean mashcl m
mighty fury. The one is an exhi-
bition of Divine anger the othftr
of Divine peace.
See! A rough-clad, f ull-beanled
man, of iron muscles anj fearless
courage, suddenly rises from a hol
low, tosses aside his blanket, ami
slowly turns his head in every di
rection to scan the green grass sea.
At the same moment his horse
emerges from a dip which has
heretofore sheltered him, and with
a whinuey of recognition and
pleasure advances straight uj)on his
master.
Alone! Man and horse are the
only living creatures in sight.
Tftvy are as much lost to the world
as two grains of sand washing to
and fro in the Atlantic. The mas-
ter's haud steals up until it rests
upon the horse's neck, and the
faithful animal crowds a bit nearer.
Both are awed by the broad ex
panse. The nughty-jgrandeiir of
A attire steals in upon the man's
soul, and it seems to pass like an
electric current to the horse. He
raises his head. His nostrils ex
pand. His eyes growrJiviwr and
larger. Surely ae must ee the
picture flpreud ovit before him

See that! The man s iianti goes
up to shade his eyes. Hois look

like a rock, and his eyes are as
keen tis an eng'o s. Ilie noi'se is
looking in the same direction, ears
pricked forward, lips quivering and
i , , j i j i
every muscle in ins legs tignteneu
up as it lor a race. VY hat is it: A
flatter on the surface of the prairie
caught the man's eye for an in
stant and thfti disappeared. It
was two miles away. It Mas only
a trifle ;-but on that trifle depends
his life. A shipwrecked sailor
catches his breath at sight of every
white cloud creeping above the
water line. The hunter of the
prairie ftfts hin9t pound at the
flutter of a bird's wftg-tha bark
of a coyote- the hoot of an owl
at sight of a hoof-print or a
broken bush. These may mean
nothing, or they may mean an am
bush a race for life capture and
torture.

For -two days the hunter had
Swept the horizon in vain. He was
alone on the great ocean. Night
had been tranquil ami full of
sound sleep. Here, now, rising
like spectres from the earth before
him, is a band of blood-thirsty de
mons raving for his life. The
sight stuns him for few seconds.
Then with a growl of chagrin and
defiance, he flings the saddle upon
his horse, picks up his rifle, and
while yet the Indians are a mile
and a half away, he mounts and
heads for the east
A race for life has begun.
The hunter's horse strikes into a
long, steady gallop, which would
kep him alongside of a train of
cars. ,lTiere is a chorus of yelk

Ilie pursuit began over sixty
miles away, but the breeze brings
to the hunter's ears that same
monotony of hoof-beats, ami he
glances back to see that same dark
line strung out at his heels. It
has become a question of endur

will escape. He shuts his teeth
anew, reaches forward to caress h
horse
He is down? A badger-hole

the ground. The race is finished.

nbout with a broken leg, and the
exultant shouts of the redskins
hardly reach the hunter's ears be

the approaching foe.
It is another . bright, peaceful
day.' Here are the same pure air,
the same blue sky, the same pan
orama of grass and flowery and
dimly outlined mountains.
A band ot hunters are crossing
fno prairie at a steady gallop in
stead of a single man riding for
his Mfe. A vulture res up with
a hoarse scream a second a
tb.-i.. aud the odor of decay
liorsos. llio band halts, lidos tt
the tuft, and presently all look
down upon a sight which tells its
own story. The swollen carcass of
a horse, the scalped and disfigured
body of a hunter trampled grass
spots of blood broken arrows
the earth uptorn by hoofs.
One with stouter heart than the
re dismounts and picks up a
dozen flattened bullets and u score
of arrows. Then he circles round
the spot and gathers up the empty
shells thrown out by the hunter's
Winchester. Bullets, arrows and
shells are deposited in a heap by
the corpse, and the man points out
one three five seven spots on
the prairie where he trampled
grass and stains of blood show the
fall of horse or man. Then in a
voice in which sorrow and pride
were mingled he whispers:
"Poor Tom! But he died game!"
Women may train their daugh
ter? in all the ways they imagine
to be pleasing to men; they may
teach them to wriggle and squirm,
and reef in their waists, and roll
their eyes and lisp out insipid
nothings between earjfjine-staiued
lips, and vet men will desert them
to flock frbout the girl who is fully
and completely independent of
them, and cares very little whether
they fall in love with her or not.

a few days ago. She owned

written the Lord's Prayer on both
posts of the garden gate as a charm
against thieves. So afraid was she
of burglars that when she had oc

ture with her, even the kitchen
utensils. She died of cold and,

The humble sheep-camp stands;
Tho epherd, from long keeping butch,
Has grimy clothes and hnuds.
Far away from the haunts of men,
To all his follows strange
He looks askance, with threatening mion
At the settlers on his rauo.
Upon the ridge, a mile away,
Where coyotes nightly howl,

The time, perhaps, is near
When each shall swear eternal troth,
And both will treat to beer.
A FATHERLY
DRUMMER.
At the
metropolitan city of Wal
a young woman went to
la Walla
the
depot the other day to meet
her father. As the train came, in
she saw a middled-aged man who
resembled Tier parental relative;
and she rushed into his arms, hud
dled down on his bosom, kissed
him on his mouth, on his ear, his
chin, and all over the patent cellu
loid. He was not her father, but
a middle-aged drummer for a to
bacco house. He took a long
breath, looked around at the other
drummers and winked as to say,
"0 1 am such a daddy." Of course
the scene could not last always
though he wished it could. After
a hearty hug, she looked up in his
face and shrieked: "You are not
my pa!" He said prolfably she
was right, as he had been on that
route only eleven years. She
asked Gi is ktp told her
not to mention it. Ve public men

and went out into the wide world,
nnd tbp. ilvnrriinpr went to the hotel
with tiie other drummers- -twenty
kisses and six hugs ahead of the
game. They asked him if he did
not feel ashamed to have such a
mistake made; and he said no; it
was all ligjit; of course it might
look rather queer, bust ssich things

HO W TO HUG.
At Echo, the lively little city on
the Umatilla river, a young man
recently spejit an evening with his
girl, and while the family was
present in the parlor, he was de
mure and bland and childlike as
could be wished. The mother
came into the room after the fam
ily had retired, to get a handker
chief she had left, and the young
man wns seated, in ft chair in the
middle of the room, while the girl
was seated on a sofa, and nothing
that the mother could see in the
actioifwfoeilljor led her to think
they were mare than passing ac
quaintances. It seemed to her as
though the young people had met
before, but there was no evidence
that they were very well acquaint
ed. All night, after he had gone,
the girl complained of a pain in
her side, and in the morning Dr.
Brownell was called, and he found
that two of the girl's ribs were
broken. How' it was done nobody
knew.
That evening the young man
called and was astonished when in
formed of the extent of the girljji
injuries, and wondered howt
could have happened, though the
mother Matched his face dose as
he spoke and detected not only a
blush but a profuse perspiration
i' n 411.1 ii . . i
on ins iaeer one nau peen a gin
lf, and though she never had
any rins uroxen, sne nau ueen
hugged some. It was a trying po
sition for all of them. Tho father
was away on a trip to Alkali, and
when he came home the matter hada
to be explained to him. He was
told that the ribs just simply
broke themselves, nnd that neither
the mother nor the girl nor tho
young man could account lor it,
and yet all three blushoi terribly.
The father patted his girl on the
head and told her she would be
better when she got over it, and
then called the young man into the
kitchen. The young man was so
weak he. could hardly walk, and
when ha tvt down he took out his
Jiainikei'ciiief aud iuejji -him
brow and wished he was dead. Tho
father looked the young man ompr
and was sorry, lie finally said:
"Y'oung man, I guess 1 can give
you a few points on hugging. You
must first learn that a .girl is not
PeonstBUcted on the same principle
as an n'on fence or a county brite.
A girl is a delicate piece of
mechanism, like a fine watch, full .
of little spngs, wheels, jewels,
etc. The breaking of any one of
these would cause hr to cease her
keeping time, and necessitate her
being taken to Mr. Uorg for re
pairs. In hugging a girl you
don't want to get at it as if you
were raking and binding or catch
ing a sturgeon. I know that where
a family sits up late with a young
couple and spoils several precious
hours of hugging, that unless tho
young man has got a good head
when left alone with the object of
his affection, he is liable to overdo
the matter and try and make up
for lost time. He seems to want
to hug up a lot ahead, and grabs
the girl as though he wanted to
break her in two. This is wrong.
You should go at it calmly and de
liberately, even prayerfully, and
be as gentle as though she was an
ivory fan. The gentle pressure of
the hand that a girl loves, even the
touch, is as dear to her as though
you run her through a stone
crusher. You should not grab her
as you would a basket fit ont, and
leave marks on her that will last a
lifetime. A loving woman should
not be made to feel that her life is
in danger unle.4C& wear j a corset
made of boiler-iron. IaUpe this
will be a lesson to you, f.nd here-
ar if you cannot r,
feelings i will provide
coi.trol your
e a wooaen
Indian for you to practice on at
first, until you have .developed
your muscle and got tired, and
tl&n -v?e can turn our daughter loose
in a room witn
i i
you and not feel
that it is necessary to keep
a sur
geon haiPly. In allowing yQ to
kop comjny with my daughter I
do not agree to provide you with a

thing over, and if the girl is well

you go and hug ram xomptms
