mado his nppeiiranro upon tho scene. 11
was no uncommon thins? for visitors to tho
west to s' op off at North l'latt"-. as that
place is the end of a division of tho sys

to enjoy the kind hospitality of Colon"!
and Mrs Cody and tholr charmlnit
daughters rta and Ora; others to see
Jlarton k Keith's herd of domesticated
buffalo or horse and cattle ranches In the
Vlclnit.
On 'lie o" rasi-in of the Mslt of tlm

North, was not In the sweetest of hqmors,
a tho " I I outfit had picked UP some
of tho men ho nml his rlghthnnd man,

wo would have to start short-handed. In n
day or so up the Platte river, via lllnman's
ranch. throuRh thu bad lands, by tho head
of the litrdwood and Willow Island, to the
aforesaid starting point.
This was a disappointment quite suf
flrlent to Justify Cap In koIiir about
"like a bnir v.lth a Hore head."
Well lis I atd before, 'Mr. Dudr" with

Approaching the cool;, who was mon
keying; abnut the lire, he says, "Mister,
which of you mlht be cnlled the boss?"
Tho hef" showed him "Mite," as wo
called Cap North, nnd says he:
I heard over there nt tho saloon last
nlHht you wanted n man? 1 came over to
Ket the Job "
Cap looked at the Christy stiff, his silk
tie, bis pretty clothes, etc., and then he
says quite slowly "And what kind of a
Job might you be looking for?"
"Why. punching cows, of course." said
the ntrangor
"Yes ' said Mr. North, "and what do you
know about cow punching? Where mlRht
you have punched rows""
"Oh, down In Missouri," says he, smiling
most plcnsant.
Not lix (irrrn UN lie l.unkrd.
Now ns a mutter of fact, thero ain't uo
cow punching down In Missouri; that state
Is pretty much of n hayseed state and u
regular nesting place for suckers, green
boms and tenderfoot, so when Mr. Christy
BtlH aald ho came from Missouri Cap
looked at him and said: "And what outfit
did you work for down there?"
"Well. I worked for my pap; pap had
nigh onto twenty cows and I had to drive
them down to Spring river to water; pap
used to ride the old bay nnd I tmed to ride
Molly, somotlmcs I used to rldo Jim, tho
inulo, oh. I've had quite a lot of riding, I
have, I can tell yon; my maw said I could
rldo well "
"That so"" said North; "well. I guess I
haven't Rot no Job for you."
"What'" says tho dudo. looking mightily
surprised, "perhaps you think I can't rldo
not Rood enough?"
"And that's no lie," said North, who was
setting a hit tired of him.
"Oh, but hold on," says the gcntloman,
"you haven't seen mo rldo; Rlvo me a
chance, I'm pretty hard up and I want a
Job,"
"Look here." said North, "you ride that
bald-faced buckskin Comnnche broncho over
thero and If ho don't chuck you I'll take you
on, and what's moro, I'll Rive you top
wages."
Now this sanio broncho was a. regular out
law and man-klller, and there wasn't a
cow-puncher In tho outfit of the year before
who could stay with him It ho took the
notion, and ono morning ho actually did
pitch nuck Taylor, now one of Cody's Wild
West rough rlilors, head first Into Dismal

who wcro no slouches, either.
lie wu a vicious, biting, striking, whist
ling, snorting terror, nml as for bucking,
why he d Booner buck than cat. Wo called
him ' Sturgls," as Cody & North got him
from tho Sturgls rango In '80.
I'p A km I nut It.
It dhl seem rather mean, low down, to
run tho stranger up against such a cycloue,
but he wus so precious green, why he Just
Jumped at the chunco.
"All right,'' suys be, "you'll glvo rae top
wages If I rldo that horse?"
"Yos," sayB North, laughing to himself.
"And p'raps you wouldn't mind buying mo
an outfit, too, as I'm broke," said tho
greunle.
"I'll do that.", says North. "I guess stick
ing plaster Is protty cheap," whispered ho
to us boys who were standing around taking
It all in
' Hero, George," says North, "you go nud
help nilly Newman catch Sturgls, saddle
him nnd brine him round hore."
Thoy soon ran him In from tho grass,
roped him, threw him. blindfolded him, no
may matter, saddled und brought him round
to tho greenhorn.
"What a funny saddle," says ho. "Dear
tno, 1 don't think I can rldo on that thing.
1'np's saddle wasn't like that, besides I gen
erally rode barebacked when I was nt home.
Won't some of you gents tako It off?"
So wo took off the yiulillo.
Thin, says ho, "I nln't used to that kind
of a bridle, Vap had one, though it wasn't
that funcy kind, but I generally used a
ropo round Molly's neck, or a halter, please
toke off tho bridle."
Ho wo tool; off tho bridle, but it was uo
easy Job, as old Sturgls was waltzing
round In lino stylo, kicking up and striking
out, and snorting all the while to brat
the band or four of a kind.
The Missouri hayseed's eyes begin to
bulge out some, and. says he, "that scema
to bo a protty ornery kind of n horse, I
guess I may havo n little trouble getting
on him, getting on seems to be the trouble,
with mo."
"Yes," says North, "that does seem to
bo the trouble, but some of the boys wilt
give you a leg If you Like."
"Oh, no." says he. "ray I'ap used to say
that walking was good enough for mo If 1
couldn't get on my horse; I guess I ran
have a try at him If ono of you gentlemen
will lend me a pair of spurs'"
So we gave him a pair of spurs and ho
puts them on and slides up to old Sturgls.
while us boys was ready to (all diwn unJ
dlo a lunching, and the bronco was dnnc.nR
round them with his ears laid back and
a considerable amount of white In his eyes,
when all of a sudden that crazy tenderfoot
rushes at him, grabs him by his mane,
scrambles on his back, snatihs thu
hacknmore rone from the boys nnd turns
bltn loose.
Slrree, talk about a circus, there we had
It and no mistake. There was clouds of
dust, snorting and yelllngs, old Sturgls
bucking endways, sideways nnd every which
ways, while thnt greenhorn from Missouri
Just dug spurs Into bis sides nnd lambasted
him oer the head with thnt there Christy
stiff hat.
Now North Platte school house was close
by In those days, and what docs that blamed
galoot do but ride kersmash through the
door and Into tho room, und the llrst thing
we ktiow'd there was the kids, Just n boiling
out of the wlndrrs and the school marm Just
a yelling blue murder.
She, being n pretty girl, we lost no time
In going to her relief, but before we could
get there out mines mister man. still lam
basting uway with his Christy stiff, while
old Sturgls looked rather silly, with a kid's
slato hitched to his off hind foot and his
mouth full of copybooks and such like stuff.
Not satisfied with this Sturgls Jumps over
a fenco Into tho sheriff's garden and In
going through the clothes lines he man
aged to get entangled In one of the sheriff's
nightgowns, much to the amusement of Mr.
and Mrs. Owner nnd the test of us.
Ilu In spite of all his efforts, though he
put In his very best Ifkv he was tumble to
pile that greenhorn. Probably the hat par
alyzed him, for row horses are not uted to
Knrh 'r'nunln's.
At any rate, after they had charged round
for a Rood twenty minutes and fnlrly dls
coutugrd old Sturgls. he rode up on tho
sidewalk and Into "Hulletproof Perry's sa
loon." right up to tho bar. and. says he
(throwing one leg over the horee and sit
ting sideways, with the remnant of that hat
perched on old Sturgls' ear). "Well, boys,
I guess the drinks are on Cap. this time;
dlil you gt this inutmn-h nded raycuso from
a Plutte bottom sheep herder?"
It turned out later that he weren't no
tenderfoot at nil, but went through tho per
formance over a bet he had with Buffalo
1)111 that he could fool Cap. North, nnd ho
did It effectually.
He was the Wyoming Kid, one of the best
all-round cattlemen In that territory and
as a bronco bustor whose famo was universal
In all the west.
Needless to say we all enjoyed the Joke,
and particularly the captain.

Operations Avoided.
When a physician tells a woman suffering with ova
rian or womb trouble that an operation is necessary, it of
course frightenB her.
Tho very thought of the operating table and tho knife
strikes terror to her heart.
And our hospitals are full of women who are there for
orarian and womb operations I
It is quite true that these troubles may roach a stage
where an operation iB tho only resource, but such cases aro
much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great
many women havo been cured by Mrs. Pinkham's med
icine after the doctors had said the operation must be
performed.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
beon very successful in curing ovarian troubles. In fact,
up to the point where the knife must bo used to secure
instant relief, this medicine is certain to help.
Ovarian troubles are easily developed from womb
troubles, and womb troubles are so very common that
ovaritis is steadily on tho increase among women. It is,
nevertheless, a most serious trouble, and to recommend
wrong treatment for it is a crimo for which there cannot
be too deep a penalty.
It is, therefore, with full consciousness of the serious
ness of the disease and the steady failure of other medicine
to cure it, that we present for ovarian and womb troublo
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as the
most certain to help of any medicine in the world to-day.
Any person who could read the letters in Mrs. Pinkham's
files at her office in Lynn, Mass., .would bo convinced of
the officioncy of Mrs. Pinkham's Compound.
Tho strongest and most grateful statements possible
to make come from women who have escaped tho operat
ing table by tho use of this medicine. Let any woman
suffering from these troubles, or anything which may de
velop into them, writo and get Mrs. Pinkham's advice. If
you are beyond the reach of the modicine, you will be
frankly told so, but, if 'not, you will bo fully and carofully
and kindly advised.
The most serious of all tho diseases of women, as well
as tho minor ills, are promptly overcome by
