Wo will go furthor than this and say: "It is tho electrically lighted store that carries tho weight with tho people" A dingy, gloomily lighted storo docs not attract people. It excites suspicion. It belittles your wares. It dulls your clerks. It gives customers tho mopes. It makes ealos hardor. Install electric lighting In your storo and draw tho peoplo to your your storo and they money into your cash register. It's vory cheer Invites them. A mannger, n housekeeper, n cook und iwentjrulx cowboys made up tho complement at tho Two-Kar ranch, nnd every one except the manager was In boring under suppressed excitement. No orders had boon promulgator, bui tlio Saturday aftcruoou bnd been do voted by uoiiuiinous consent toward washing up, combing balr nnd bring. mg out white shirts nnd red neckties. . Two weeks previously old Jim Urnd shaw. foreman, who wns supposed to be deep In the coufldonce of the man nger, bad said to the storekeeper on Lame Calf creek: "Tom. old Two-Bar ts coming right to the front In n business way." "As to nowr "Going to have a telephone line over to the railroad." "That nln't so much." "Going to fit up an office for the manager with desks nnd chairs, same as a New York broker's office." "Nothing to brag of." "Going to have a typewriting ma chine." "Lots of folks pot 'em." "And now hold your breath, you old swindler, while I tell you the rest. We're going to have a girl to run tho machine." "No-o-or "It's a fact Coming from Chicago. Smarter'n chain lightning. She's go ing to be stenographer and type writer. Yes. sir, she Is. and no other blamed ranch for a hundred miles around has got one. Old Two-Bar is ii head on the game." "Well?" queried tbe storekeeper aft er a long pause. "Well. Cm hero to glvp you a tip. If you haven't got two doson white xhlrts In stock, send for them quicker than lightning. Send for red neck ties. Send for silk handkerchiefs. Send for real cloth collars, and send for perfumery and toilet soap." "Why?" "Why. you galoot? Because every man on our ranch Is going to como loping over here nnd Inquire for thorn very tilings and Isn't going to worry about prices either. Because why? Because every man Is going to fall in love with that girl before she gets within a mile of tbe ranch and Is going to dress up nnd lot her see what a Jim dandy he la. There can't but one man marry her. nnd the rest of the gang wtll shoot him." It was n tip. The shirts and other things were sent for. and the boys loped over. Forty-nine cent white shirts went for a dollar and n half and no questions asked. Perfumery and hair oil met with a firm market. Red neckties wero In great demand. And now the great day had finally nrrlved. Old Tom ba'd been sent over to the railroad with the buckboard to bring back the young woman and her trunk. Every man had volunteered to make the trip, and when Old Tom bnd been selected the gang gathered around him, nnd Its spokesman said: "There's got to be a square deal or bloodshed no flirting or soft talk to get ahead of the rest of ns. You've got nn old woman down on the Brazos. Tom. nnd If you don't own up to that girl that you have off comes your scalp." Four hours later the buckboard was sighted with a fleldglass. Fifteen minutes after the announcement It could be made out with tbe naked eye. While It was still n mile away the cowboys formed In double lino along the road to the house. At half a mile they removed their bats and puffed out their shirt fronts. At twenty rods their rod neckties blushed furiously. And now Old Tom. having the dig nity of n Itonmn senator, drove the vehicle botwwii the Hues, nnd tho veiled lady I in wed right and left ns every man bent his head nnd scraped his right foot. Nothing further could have been desired by the roost criti cal. "And what does 8he look like?" was demanded of Old Tom as he reached the stables, where they waited for' him. "Boys, she's cute. She's a looker. She's going to set hearts nflro and cause forty different murders. You might Just ns well go Into convention and resolve that every galoot of you is going to fall head over heels in love with her at first sight." Old Tom's prediction wns fulfilled. Every man as he got sight of Miss Glazier fell In love with her or thought bo did. In a week discipline wns lax; In a fortnight there wns none at nil. Every cowboy on the ranch wanted to sit around looking pretty, nnd tho Chlnene cook didn't have time to wash half tho white shirts awaiting him. Old Tom stormed nnd tho manager complained, but things continued at sixes and sevens. Few of tho men could make an errand at tho office. It was only while tho typist wns walk ing out, that they had sight of her. Three or four got up the nerve to ap proach her, and the bearing and lan guage of nil of them woro nllke. They bowed nnd scraped nnd cleared their throats nnd said: "Good evening, ranrm. I'm hoping 1 seo you well, ranrm. I'm hoping this country nppenls to you. I'm hoping you won't mind the galoots n-peeplng at you from behind the hunkhouse and the stables ntul showing what their o ' . i , .... , , ,... i i. ...... unnKiug up i" ". i mi iuiiimk hum you umy decide to consider to settle down among us after fliulliiv it do voted husband one perfectly wlllltiu to dlo for you any tltuo of day or night." And Miss (iliuler would smile nnd blush nnd reply that she liked the country and the twople nnd the cattle nnd the wolves nnd Jack rnbblts, and tho man would back awny bowing to the ground to assort to his comrades In waiting that he had made nn Im pression nnd to bo cnllod n liar for the statement. Cowboys camo from other ranches, but were run off as fast as they ap peared. Travelers rode out of their way, but were discouraged. At the end of three months the Two-Bar ranch hnd the reputation of being at loose ends, and the manager's quarter ly report elicited the following reply from eastern stockholders: "Not nt all satisfactory. What Is the matter out there?" "I have a stenographer nnd typist," wrs telegraphed back. "Then discharge or marry her." wero the Instructions. Tho manager was a man of notion no had never discharged a stenogra pher from his employ, and ho was not going to begin then not If Miss Gla zier would accept him nnd the other alternative. She blushed and snld she would, but wnntcd to go back to Chi cago for a couplo of weeks to see her mother. The men got hold of tho news nn hour later that Is. Old Tom told them separately nnd collectively that any of them who wanted to bid the angel good by would And her In the office nwnltlng them. It wns white shirts nnd red neckties ngaln; It wns more hair oil and perfumery. Ihey said nothing to each, other, but they read each other's thoughts. If a husband could koop that poor girl at Two-Bar she should have one. It was Old Tom who lined them up nnd sent In the 1 tirst man. The Orst man had his , speech all ready. So did the second. tho third and down to tho last, and those speeches were all alike. They begun with a how nud n kick and n lump In the throat and proceeded: I hears, marm 1 hears that you are going away for to dwell In our midst no more." Yes. 1 nm going back to Chicago." During your stay bore, marm, you may have observed you may haw tal. en notice that I have cast my eyes on you as often as possible, and that with the greatest osslble respect. It lins boon a caso of love on my part, and I am now here to offer you my hand and heart and promise to do everything In my power to make you happy. I'm rough, but I'm tender. I ain't oducat ed. hut I'll never nsk for a divorce." And tho reply each one received was tho same: 1 feet bouorod. but must tell you that 1 am -to marry the manager on my return." And when tbe last bad filed In and filed out Old Tom suddenly broke forth: Now. you crosseyed, lop shouldered knockkneed gang of galoots, the turtle- loves hnvo got through cooing. Cupid's uot a bustle on him. and If you don't hustle around nnd brine Two-Bar back tn her pristine glory I'll turn looo and bury the whole of you In one grave!" Knew All Their TrlcUi.

You thluk 1 am not up to your dodges, but 1 know them all and will recapitulate them. When the season for riding drill comes on tho captain sends for the sergeant major nnd says: I have an appointment this morning at . Tell the first lieutenant to take tbe rides. So the sergeant major goes' to the senior subaltern aud gives him tbe message, and the latter says: 'What! ! The captain will bo away? Then i am off hunting. Tell the second lloiitennut to take the men," And the second lieu tenant, who Is probably still In bed. says: What, both of them away Tlin 1 will stay when' I nm. I was up till U this morning at a dance Tell the cornet I nm III nnd ho must take tho rides.' Finally the comet remuiKs: Look here, sergeant major, what Is the good of my standing out there In the cold? You know all ubout It much better than I do. You go and take them.' And so It goes, and what must be the end of It all? What can I Impe to do with such cavalry before tho enemy?" "Fllstory of Frederick the Great" Hit Head For Trlflet.
