horseback, he saw an object ahead of
of him moving at a rapid rate across the
prairie. He was at a loss for a while to
know what it was, but came to the hastv
conclusion it must be one of Green's
antelope. He immediately gave chase,
and after a hard ride of one hour or two
he succeeded in getting in gun shot of
his expected prize but alas for Joe he
didn't shoot it wasn't any antelope it
was only a parasol, that had escaped from
itsjair owner, while picketed out, as it
had a rope attached when Joe captured
it. Joe was much pleased with his prize
and tied it to the fence till he should go
home in the eveniug ; before going home
he went to get his captive, but alas it had
escaped having pulled out a fencepost.
Joe has spent much time in looking for
it and ho looks very sorry about it and
he says if he don't find it by Sunday .night
he is going to give it up for gone.

gine that they too are abundantly able to
live in like manner. They begin life
without having first lain a good founda

why it is so. The man who has by years
of toil, hardship and economy amassed
wealth, locates the trouble at once, but
slieving experience to be a valuable
school as well as a dear one, permits all
such to pass along at will. It is hard for
men, no matter wkat their natural ability
may be, to correct and overcome the
effects of an error committed just at the
beginning of their educational or com
mercial career. How very important
it is then that young men should begin
at the beginning at the foot of all life's
ladders and steadily ascend, contesting
every inch of the way, and thoroughly
testing every round before placing all
thereon.
