It I Western Chivalry . u 1 It was. dinner time when Jumbo Sam rode up to the Hat Six ranch. Hospi tality Is the first law of the cattle country, and Juxnho Sam, who had eaten breakfast seven hours before, was in no mood to transgress it. 1 1 is vadrile creaked as it was relieved of his 2n0 pounds, and the jaded ocw pony shook himsilf with satisfaction. "Dinner is now ready in the dinin' ear," sang cut the cook. "Come an' git it while it's hot." In response to the welcome rail the crowd cf cow punchers filed into the dining room. "Come on, Jumbo," said Rufe Thompson, foreman of the Hat Six. "Better hit the grub trail right now, if you don't want the cook to work over time. Them cow hands is liable to clean off that table as quick as a beaver wcrkin' in a patch o' fresh wil lows. -They ain't got no more manners than one o' yer bears when it sets down to an antelope carcass." Jumbo Sam was a bear hunter by occupation, and the simile was not lost on him. He made a hasty pre tense of scrubbing his bearded face in the water trough at the side of the kitchen, and followed Thompson Into the dining room. "Set yere, Jumbo, right acrost from Peg Simmons. You know Peg. At least if you don't you'd orter." Other than an involuntary start, Jumbo Sam gave no sign that he rec ognized Simmons. He took the seat, however, and bent his head so low over his plate that Jack Fulmer, his nearest table companion, said after ward that he thought the hunter was about to ask a blessing. This expectation was not realized, for Jumbo Sam, with head still low ered, swept the table with sidelong glances and helped himself liberally to beefsteak, biscuits and potatoes as the food was passed to him. As he had a reputation for conversation of that personal variety known as brag gadocio, his silence was noticeable. His close attention to the business in hand, however, seemed to remove any mysterious cause for this lack of lo quacity. Not once did. he refuse to help himself to the contents of the meat platter or pan of biscuits. Had It not been for his peculiar manner during the meal his reticence might have been passed by without com ment. Not once did he raise his eyes to Peg Simmons. The strange twist of his thick neck suggested rheuma tism, spinal trouble, earache, almost any ill, in fact, which could be con tracted by a man who sometimes tracked a grizzly in fresh snow for two or three days with stopping until he found his game. Peg Simmons on the other hand seldom looked at his plate. His small blue eyes rested almost constantly on the bowed head across the table. He was a little man hardly five feet eight, and his slight frame contrasted sharply with Jumbo Sam's bulky fig ure. Moreover, he was a cripple. One clay while trying to head a refractory steer in gopher ground his pony had stepped in a prairie dog hole and thrown him. Simmons left leg was broken so badly that it had to be amputated. The surgeon did the job in such bungling fashion that the op eration had to be repeated. When Simmons recovered he came to the Hat Six ranch, where he formerly had been employed. The proprietor gave him money to buy a wooden leg, and in a few weeks Simmons had won the nickname of "Peg," and the reputation of being one of the best cow punchers in the Big Horn basin in spite of his Heerd yCu been shootin' eff yer yawp about Nell," he says. misfortune. No man in the outfit was hij superior in roping a steer, nor according to common report in hand ling a six-shooter. Jumbo Sam was cne or the first to leave the table. Disregarding Rufe Thompson's invitation to stay at the ranch a few days, he mounted his pony, and rode off toward the foot hills. Peg Simmons gave a grim chuckle as the big hunter disappeared behind a clump of quaking asp trees near the creek and started off .toward the corial. "Say, Peg," cried Thompson, "what ever made Jumbo act so queer at din I or? Kept his nec k bowed like he'd swallered a dog's hind leg." "Not know-in I kain't. say," replied Peg, with a mysterious twinkle in his blue eyes, and he went out to the corral. "I can tell you about it, Rufe," said Jack Fulmer. "You knowed when Peg was hurt? Yes? Well, they took him down to Rock Creek and the doc what worked on him must have been a green hand from a Tongue River saw mill, fer he had to do the job over. Peg he wa'an't afore that come mighty nigh goin' over the range. He would, I guess, if it hadn't been fer that gal down to the Mansion House, Cicss-Eyed Nell, that waited on table. "Nell, she heerd Sim was about to croak, an' she give up her job at the hotel to nuss him. She tended him night an' day an' Sim pulls through. When she seen he was out of danger she goes back to the hotel. Jumbo comes into Rock Creek one day with a couple o' bear pelts, an after he sells 'em gees over to the Last Chance saloon an' begins to throw in coffin paint good an' plenty. The barkeep, jest to be a-chinnin', speaks about how "Say somethin derned quick, you ornery hoss thief!" hollers Sam. Nell nussed Sim. Jumbo is feelin' poorty brash, and he ups an lows that Nell ain't no better'n she'd orter be, an' reckons as how she don't deserve no heap o' credit. "After Jumbo's gone the barkeep he ups an' tells Sim, who by this time is stumpin' around on a saw-log fastened to his knee. Sim. he didn't say noth ing but the boys was fixin fer a fu neral, fer they knowed Sim wa'an't in the habit o' layin down his hand as long as he had a white chip. "When Jumbo comes to town Sim meets him in the Last Chance. " Heerd you been shootin' off yer yawp about Nell,' he says. 'Seemed to think it was a brace game she worked while she was nussin' me, did you? "'What if I did?' says Jumbo, all bristlin' up like a turkey gobbler in a barnyard. " 'Jest this,' says Sim, yankin cut his six. 'You're goin' to git down on yer marrer bones an' beg her pardon. I'll learn you how to savvy a real lady when you tee her. March, an' don't make no false motions or I'll turn you over to the coroner.' "It was worth a month's pay to see 'em. Jumbo. is as meek as a pinto pony that's been through the fall rcund-up, an' he tramps off toward the Mansion House. Little Sam follers on behind, stump-stump-stump with that peg leg, all the time holdin' his gun on Jumbo. When they gits to the hotel they finds Cross-Eyed Nell. " 'Git down on yer knees, says Sim. "Jumbo don't crook his .legs fast enough, an' Sim give him a wallop writh the butt cf his gun that lays him on the floor. Then he gits on his knees fast enough. " 'Now beg her pardon, says Sim. 'I den't know what to say,' whines Jumbo. " 'Say somethin aerned quick, you ornery hess thief,' . hoTlers Sim. 'If you don't I'll rope you an' hog tie you so tight that yer blood won't cirkilate fer a month.' "Then Jumbo mumbles out that he's sorry he every said anything an' won't never say anything no mere. Then Sim lets him up. " 'Now, says . Sim, 'you've settled with her, but you hain't with me. Y'ou git out o' town. If you ever speak te me, if I ever ketch yu lookin' at m out o' the corner o yer eyes, you'll take six pills so quick you won't know you swallered 'em.' "That's why -Jumbo didn't look at Sim to-day. He knowed he hadn't bet ter, for Sim allers keeps his word. C. T. Revere in New York Press. WOMEN WHO DRINK LIQUOR. New York Minister Says the Vice Is Becoming Universal. The Rev. Dr. L. A. Hanks, rector of Orare Methodist Episcopal church, at One Hundred and Fourth street, near Ccliunbus avenue, told members of the New York conference In Poughketp de Sunday that drunkenness is alarm ingly on the Increase among the bet ter class cf worsen of our largei cities. "Some of these days I will give more startling facts," he said yesterday. "If the habit of drinking amor.g women of the better and mid die !as:sos continues to increase 1 moan to make public names. 1 will say that every minister in New York mows women "rood women who drir.k. I have hoard what the society women do in Newport and Washing ton, but I know what they do in New York in the way of drinking. "Drinking cmong women has come to be a matter of indifference nowa days. It is prevalent among our more respectable classes. It has pro gressed so far that we read every day of our ric-a women recuperating at sanitariums. Their poorer sisters must have recourse to alcoholic wards In public hospitals. These records show it. Cocktails, of whisky, are lowering the respect aide level of the women of the middle class. ' They take the place of the champagne and hot w ines among the rich. "Twenty years ago nothing passed the lips but liicht wines and ales, and then seldom except at christenings or feasts. Now the women can be seen any day in the week, and Sunday, af ter and before church, at their hotel and restaurant meals drinking cook tails, glass for glass, with their men companions. They show indifference to opinion, lack cf modesty and ol conscience. "They want to be up to date and think that is one way. Therefore we have none of the good old-time tem perance." New York World. PLAN AN AUTOMOBILE TRAIN. Will Make Ninety-Three Miles an Hour with Clear Track, The Ccmpagnie Internationale eles Wagon-Lits the Continental Pullman company is preparing to launch in France a service of "automobile trains" fer the Mediterranean com pany. These cars, which are designed by M. Serpollet, run on the rails of the com pan j', and are therefore not amen able to speed rules. With a clear track they can make ninety-three miles an hour, or seventy-flve miles on up grades. The cars will weigh thirty-two tons each, but as the weight of an ordinary European locomotive is ninety-four tons there is an enormous saving in wear and tear on the rails. The cars are designed with a view to lessen wind resistance; their sides will be flat, and have no projections, and the ends will' be pointed. The railway world is interested 'in this development, and M. Serpollet has received applications from English and other companies asking that the new motor train may be tried over their systems. Of rourse, if the thing "succeeds, automobile railways can be construct ed anywhere upon steeper grades, with far lighter rails and at much less ccst than ordinary railroads. Indeed, at this end the venture will be indis tinguishable from. the storage battery trolley car. Pall Mall Gazette. NOT DESERVING OF SYMPATHY. Bereaved Man's Frightful Pun Alien ated the Neighbors. Now, when the daughter of the house ran away with a strolling musi cian, the neighbors were full of ten der sympathy with the family. They called in a body to express this fact. All would have gone well if the eld man had not cherished the klea that he" was a natural born wit and that the flashes of his genius in thai line could illuminate the darkest abyss of gloom that ever was heard of. "Yes," he said, "I am deeply touch ed by this evidence of feeling on the part of you, my neighbors. Not thai I objected to my daughter getting married. I expected her to do that some day. But I think all of you wil bear witness that I have ever cau tioned her not to piccolo man."

LOVES THE PRAIMES. Miss Anna Gray is Delighted With Her Western Canada Home. Am.a C. Gray is a young lady form erly of Michigan. She is now a resi dent of Western Canada, and the fol lowing; published in the Brown City (Mich.) Banner are extracts from a friendship letter written about March 10 to one of her lady friends in that vicinity. In this letter Is given some idea of the climate, social, educa tional and religions conditions of Al berta, the beautiful land of sunshine and happy homos. Over one hundred thousand Americans have made West ern Canada their home within the past five years, and in this year up wards of 50,000 will take up homes there. Miss Gray took her leave for Dlds bury, Alberta, the home of her sister and other relatives and friends on Jan. 10 last, ami after a two months' so journ in her weste rn prairie homo, she writes of it as follow?: "I know I shall grow to love the prairies. We have a beautiful view of the moun tains and it seems wonderful to me to see home after home for miles, and It is becoming thickly settled all around us. With the exception of the last few days which have boon cold and stormy, we have had beautiful spring weather ever tince I came. The days are beautiful.- I call this the "land of the sun," as it seems to be always shining; the nights are cold and frosty. On arriving here, I was so greatly surprised in every way. Dids bury is quite a business little town. All the people I meet are so pleasant and - hospitable. They have four churches in Didsbury the Baptist, Presbyterian, Evangelical and Men nonite. The Evangelicals have just completed a handsome church, very large and finely furnished, costing $2,500. They have a nice literary society here, meets every two weeks. They have fine musical talent here. Your friend, Anna C. Gray. Fever is as ornery as prize fighters; it won't break clean. IF TOD tSE liALL 11LIK, Ret Red Cross Ball Blue, the best Ball Blue.

Milburn Overcame Many Difficulties. It was of the late William H. Mil burn, the blind preacher, ehaplain of the house and afterward of the senate, that William R.

He was totally blind before beeomir.s of age, but be came a Methodist, clergyman,' success ful lecturer and author,' keeping at his work until a few months before his death at the age of SO. ' The news papers were read to him every day and he kept fully posted on passing events. A Tight Squeeze. Brazils, Ark., May 11th.

She was so low that for the great er part of the time 6he was perfectly unconscious oZ what was going on about her, and her heart-broken hus band and friends were hourly ex pecting, her death. The doctors had given up all hope and no one thought she could pos sibly live. Ia this extremity Mr. Garrett sent for a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. It was a Jast hope, but happily It clld not fail. Mrs. Garrett used in all -rIx boxes of the remedy, and is . completely cured. She says: "I am doing my own work now and feel as well &3 ever I did. Dodd's KIdnev Pills certainly saved me frcra death." . : .
