REAL STUFF.
BKOWN tired (if tin' moilern hooks, in which sex stuff jre
Vfiils. I saiil. "Oils l'i!!:ins and L'adzooks. I'll read some old
(inn' talcs. The authors of u b t-'uiic time wrote works thnt hit the
sjiot. but modern authorship's a crime, and modern books are
rot." I took a Cooper story, tiien a " Leather-stocking " yarn;
the siiflit of it brought baek nain our old aiK'estral barn; there I
would sit amimp the hay when I was but a eliild, and roamed with
Cooper far away, in forests dark and wild. But now I turned the
paL'es o'er, and heaved some weary siuhs:! found each character
a bore, a preai-her in disguise. The paleface hero strove to teach
a lesson worth our while; the noble red men paused to preach in
every forest aisle. The lovely damsels rode around on palfreys
black and white, and preached a while whene'er they found an
audience in sight. The luckless captive didn't screech when burn
intr at the stake; he merely saw a chance to preach, and windy
maxims make. I read the book an hour or two, then threw it on
the floor, and .sighed, "Great Scott! Can it be true that once it
didn't bore? .And was I ever young enough to think that story
fine? And did I ever read such stuff and thrill all up my spine?"

lesllvltles at Miles Cantrall's. This Is
u highly painful process for the cow,
anil is conducted as follows:
Tho cows are driven first into
corral, Where they run around like a
traveling man in a hotel dining room
nying to locale the table the best
looking waitress has charge of. At
this Juncturo three amateur nut
Hart's appear on rambunctious steeds
aim cavort about, heaving a rope over
the horns of the bovine. They then
ileiotc their energies to getting his
mnn legs in a rope. This accom
plished lite yearling steer, or heifer.
Is flopped on his side with a dull ami
sickening thud, whereupon Master of
Ceremony fantrall cuts a couple of
, arusiui nuts In tho ears of the prone
animal, and calls for tho "big Iron."
A 12.year-nld hoy rushes forward
with the red hoc Instrument, and
iinnds It to hM pa. who a rustical I v
slaps it on the ribs, right ldu up.
The air Is filled with the scent of
ourning hide and hair ,and the fu
ture beefsteak bawls like a Wilson
Idolator at extiacis from liohcrt
Lansing's book. This over, thu head
is freed from the rope by standing
on the neck, and the hind legs loosed
by his own efforts. In moving the
cow around, a hired hand uses lis tall
as a crow bar. After gelling out of
the dentist's chair, the victim moves
over to Ihe water trough with a look
of disgust on liis moon faced colllKo-nance.
