Olreadam Gulch. We are the pout

marshal We are the owner of Uell

different mountains and 30,000 acre o'
desert landa In Arizona.
And yet we do not aspire to dictator

At an early hour last Wednesda)
morning we buckled on our guns ami

went hunting for an Individual named
Idaho Sam. He arrived liwv four
week! ago and announced tbnt lie was
a hoi terror, and he has sluce uuule
a nuisance of himself. We found b!;n
after half an hour's search and tondcr
ed him his choice between hittlug the
trail and hanging. lie started to argue
the matter, but we got the drop on
him, and as a result the midday sun
shone down on him as be rested on the
far side of Wolf creek.
Our next Tlslt of state wus paid to
Mr. 0. I. Flint, attorney at law. Mr.
Flint is of that class called shysters.
He was disbarred In Chicago and
came out here to make a fresh start
Bis doings hare been unsavory, and
he baa neglected to take advantngo of
little hints thrown out by us from time
to time. When we called and announc
ed to him that he must pull bis freight
he grabbed for a shotgun in the corner
of bit office, but soon thought better
of it and agreed to change climates.
Ha want that night In bis new loca
tion we wish him well.
Told Doctor to Movs.
Three months ago Dr. Bnrnes huug
out his sign on Apache avenue. Be
fore ho had been a week in prnctioe
we learned that be knew nothing about
medicines except what he had learnod
la a sawmill. We decided to give him
a chance, however. Out lu this coun
try wt feel that every man is entitled
to at least one fair show. Dr. Barnes
had made a botch of It at setting bro
ken limbs and diagnosing cases, and
it waa time for him to move on. We
stated the case gently, but firmly, and
bo replied that he had been expecting
It and was glad to go.
When Mr. John Taylor arrived lu
Olveadam Gulch six weeks ago he
gave out that he was looking for s
place to establish an orphan asylum.
He was offered sites on the mountains
and on the plains, but be seemed to
lose Interest It soon developed that
ha was simply a good natured sort of
deadbcat There haa been no pnrtleti
lar harm in him, but as be was breath
Ing ozone rightfully belonging to some
one else he was asked to move on. U
moved. There were tears In his eyes
aa ho went, and bis last , words were
that this was a cold old world.
Before we had visited Lawyer Jim
Wheelan in his office to bold a little
talk word came to us that he had a
cua and Intended to shoot on sight.
Mr. Wheelan Is another shyster. He
came here from Milwaukee to escnpe
being sent to state prison, but the
change of climate didn't bring reform
With it On several different ocvn
sloes we have had to refer to blm lu
the Kicker as a liar and a scoundtvi
and the relations between tin havo bceu
somewhat strained.
When we entered Mr, Wliocluu's of
fice the other day be was rvmly ( de
bate the question. We found ouraelf
iooktng into the muzzle of a large and
iberal revolver. As a matter of fact
ha palled trigger on us, and If the car-
trldge hadn't failed to explode this Is
sue of the Kicker would buve con
tained our obituary. The failure of the
cartridge gave us our chance, and with
in four hours Mr. Whoolnn and hi law
library and his little ways were out of
alght down the Tanther creek trull.
Other towns may greet blm with open
arms, but there was something lacking
between blm and the Oulcb.
Many and many a time in tbe lnst
six months havo we warned Dr. Henry
Mason that be should have stuck to
sheep herding and let the practice of
medicine alone. When we cam to
learn that ha couldn't tell quinine from
morphine we talked to him like a
brother and offered to pay his fare to
Florence, but he was a man who loved
to dwell on the ragged edges of fate.
He believed in destiny, and he believ
ed that destiny meant to lead the med
ical profession. He argued it out so
clearly that we shut op.
week ago Dr. Mason killed off his
third patient It was only a China
man, but oat here we are even coming
to look upon the Celestial as a human
'nfc- -The public didn't jetjaHyriae
s:i aud Cemsiuj i iu C-itr go or
baug. but ratter ot It tbat way
wbeu we railed. I wasn't a mluute
lu saying tbst be would go. lie hsd a
good offer to go back to his herding,
and so much Latin and medicine to
gether made bis besd ache. He retires
with honors. He could have killed a
dozen patients during his practice, but
he has been content with three.
Judg Given Wslking Papers.
No one exactly knows where the ln
dlvldunl calling himself Judge Wil
liams hailed from. He gave oat that
be waa here to see about establishing
waterworks, bat was soon a banger on
for free drinks and was always want
ing to borrow a dollar. His attitude
and occupation appeared against tbe
best luterests of Arlsons, and we there
fore gave blm a hint to more on. He
snld be would sadly miss tbe homelike
surroundings of tbe Gulch, bat be van
btbed. For a few minutes after we struck
the trail of Joe Canlff It looked as if
?oine oue would be planted before sun
down. Joseph came here from Santa
Ke a few weeks ago with an object in
view. That object as stated by him
self, was "to raise h 11." ne haa ac
compltKbed It pretty thoroughly. He
'ias bod two shooting scrapes and three
r four barroom rows. A few days
.go tbe vigilance committee aat on his
case, and It was resolved thst he must
go.
Joseph was the last on our list We
banted him oat la a pool room and as
sumed a brotherly smile. It didn't go.
Then we tried the fatherly dodge. It
didn't work. Joseph was fly. He had
two guns, and it was Just his hoar for
shooting. There wss some little dis
cussion, and then he started to draw.
We beat him by the fraction of a sec
ond, and, as he afterward said, be
ought to have had sense enough to put
hands up. He didn't have, however,
and we had to bore a bullet In his
shoulder. All things considered, he got
off easy. He Is now In the hospital,
but after a few days will set off with
a new song In bis heart and look for a
towu where a man of bis caliber is ap
preciated. Sooner or later he will be
lynched, but then be will have lots of
fun while he does live. We regard the
town now as in a healthy social con
dition and should not be a bit sur
prised to see a winter boom set In and

A Wedding Dsy Reminder.
William James, tbe famous psychol
ogist of Harvard, said at a dinner in
Boston:
"An odor often, brings back mem
ories that we had thought burled for
ever. As we regard some strange
landscape it often seems to as that
we have been Just here before. The
oddest the most momentous associa
tions oftentimes attach themselves to
the most trifling things.
"Thus at a Thanksgiving dinner that
I once attended the hostess said to a
sour faced man on my left:
'"May I help you to some of the
boiled rice, Mr. Smith r
"Rice? No, thank you no rice for
me,' Smith answered vehemently. 'It
Is associated with tbe worst mistake of
my life.'

Talking Through the Nose.
So called "talking through the nose"
is not talking through the nose at all,
but rather failure to do so that Is,
Instead of letting tbe tone flood into
the nasal cavity, to be re-enforced
there by striking against the walls of
the cavity, which act as sounding
boards for the tone confined within
tbat cavity, we shut off tbe cavity and
refuse the tone its natural re-enforcement
It takes on as a result a thin,
unresonant quality which we call na
sal, although It Is thin and anpleaBlng
because It lacks true nasal resonance,
The only remedy lies In ceasing to
shut off the cavity. Katberlne Jewell
Everts In Harper's Bazar.

cricket ball broke tbe reptile's spine,
wbllo a sharp edge of the granite cut

freedom a frog, which hopped out of
Its prison unhurt." Madras Mall.

PATRICK HENRY.
His Pale Faee and Glaring Cyse Dur
ing His Grsat Ovation.
The most overwhelming of Patrick
Henry's- great orations Is thst wbk-b
he pronounced before tbe convention
which met in St. John's church at
Richmond March 23, 1775. Already tbe
muttering of war were so distinct
that Henry, Instead of concealing tbe
facts, declared that war was even then
on foot
"We must fight!" he said. "An appeal
to arms and to the God of hosts Is all
that is left as!"
Curiously enough, eveu of this ora
tion there Is no authentic record. Cer
tain sentences, certain stirring phrases,
were rememliered by many who were
there, but the speech as we have It Is
almost surely a restoration by William
Wirt himself an eloquent aud brilliant
orator. He supplied the gaps in what
bis Informants repented to blm, piec
ing out their recollections with his
own vivid fancy. But the spirit of
Henry flames all through It aud to
Henry may be safely ascribed such
burning sentences aa these:
"I have but one lamp by which my
feet are guided, and that is tbe lamp
of experience. I know of no way of
Judging the future but by tbe past"
"Three millions of people armed In
tbe holy cause of liberty and In such a
country as that which we possess ars
invincible by any force which our en
emy can send against us."
"Gentlemen may cry peace, peace,
but there is no pence!"
"Is life so denr or peace so sweet si
to be purchased at tbe price of chains
and slavery? Kerbld It, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may
take, but, as for me, give me liberty ot
give me death!"
As In the case of all orators of the
very first rank, the physical Impres
sion made by Henry was as strong as
the Intellectual. There exists a de
scription of bis appearance while de
livering this lust great speech a de
scription that came from one who was
present at the time. It tells how,
when Henry rose and claimed tbe floor,
there was an "unearthly fire burning
In bis eyes, ne commenced somewhat
calmly, but his smothered excitement
began more and more to play upon his
features and thrill In tbe tones of bis
voice. The tendons of his neck stood
out white and rigid like whipcords.
Finally his pale face and glaring eyes
became terrible to look upon." The
witness of the scene who gave this
vivid picture said that he himself "felt
sick with excitement." When tbe ora
tor had finished his speech "it seemed
as If a word from him would have
led to any wild explosion of violence,
Men looked beside themselves." Lyn
don Orr In Munsey's.
Dlsersst 8ilnc..
An excellent piece of advice was
that once given to George Gray, a
young Methodist preacher, who was a
mere boy when he began his work.
Within a few days of tbe time he was
fifteen and a half years old his name
was on the records of an annual con
ference as a traveling preacher the
youngest candidate ever received in
the Methodist Episcopal church. He
was sent to the Barre circuit In Ver
mont. As he mounted his horse to set
out for his appointed field of labor, a
Jaunt of more than 200 miles, his nn
cle, a Methodint of much shrewdness
and humor, gave him a parting ad
dress which he never forgot and to
which he often referred In later years.
"Never pretend that you know much,
George," said he, looking up at the
youthful rider from under bis shaggy
eyebrows, "for If you do so pretend
the people will soon find out thst you
are sadly mistaken, but neither," be
added after a moment's pause, "need
you tell them bow little you know, for
this tbey will find out soon enough.
