THE BALL AT BIG SPRINGS.
By JAMES GARDNER SLATER.
(Copyright. 1902, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)
The boys from the X Y ranch had
been busy for the falls’ ‘‘round-up”
at Abiline for months. They were
now about ready to depart for their
winter home. The cattle had been
about herded in one bunch and were
prepared for the long drive south
ward, where the grass was green the
year round, and the winds not too
severe to bring them discomfort. The
yearlings, heifers and steers were
corraled two miles away from the
little town. At night, unless a storm
seemed imminent, half of the crew
would go into the railroad station and
disport themselves by shooting out
lights, riding horses into bar-rooms
and the like. All of them ate at the
Archer restaurant, not because the
food was any better or cheaper than
served by the Palace, but because
Estelle McIntosh, a clear-eyed,
straight-limbed girl of some twenty
summers, slung the hash and shot the
beans at her sun-tanned customers.
She was of beautiful mold; her
breast moved back and forth like
the undulating waves of the sea; her
arms were round at the shoulders and
tapered down as gracefully as a sculp
tor’s model. Her eyes were blue, she
was wide-hipped, with a complexion
like that of the underdown of a Geor
gia peach. She could play the guitar,
do fancy work, and get along fairly
well with the third reader. She could
call cows and ride any broncho that
ever pawed the earth.
All the boys were In love with her.
If she had any preference that could
be perceived, it was for Calico Jake,
whose tall figure was known to near
ly every head of cattle between che
Colorado and the Neuces. He could
chew tobacco like a Cuban negro,
cut the pigeon-wing, ride anything
from a horned toad to a giraffe, and
he had no more compunction when It
became necessary, to kill a man than
a mustang would have for kicking at
the man who had hit him with a quirt.
But Estelle, “Stell,” as the boys called
her, made no signs that she would
be glad to Jump over the broomstick
with him.
Two weeks before the contemplated
departure of the X Y outfit, nearly all
the boys were In Archer’s. The "Doc”
was there also. He wore a staked
and rldered shirt, tan shoes and toted
a walking stick. He had but recently
graduated from the medical school at
El Paso, and settling at Abilene,
where the men wore overalls and the
women quite content with calicoes, he
imagined himseif about $430 ahead of
a National Bank. “Stell” had not
liked him from the first, and she did
not attempt to conceal her feelings.
As the "Doc” started to go, he naive
ly asked:
“S’pose you are going to be the
queen of the ball up to Big Springs,
next week?
"I don’t know ef that's any of your
business,” she replied, somewhat
warmly. “Course you’ll be there as
king of the doodlebugs?” at which
the cowboys ha, ha, haed until the
"Doc” was out of hearing.
That night, while the stars looked
down upon the boys who were now
again in camp, Calico said to Buck
eye: “Say, Buck, it'll be a long time
afore we get to a ball where they’ll
have one of these here base villians
or wiollns, or whatever you call ’em.
S’pose we run up to Big Springs and
shake our feet when the shindig
comes off?"
Buckeye readily consented. Then
the other boys were awakened and
told of the scheme. Lots were to be
drawn as to who should remain in
camp while the others were away.
That was satisfactory and the idea
a good one. "But,” spoke up ’Red’
Parker, “whar the damnation is the
money cornin’ from.”
That put the others to thinking.
The next morning five cowboys
were seen riding swiftly toward Abi
lene. Calico went into the Archer
hotel and restaurant alone. After a
few moments’ conversation with
“Stell,” the boys galloped over the
hill. An hour’s ride took them to Pan
tana, a village composed of five
saloons, a general merchandise estab
lishment, a livery stable, fifty-five
souls and 18,312 prairie dogs.
They stopped at the first place they
reached, which was known as the
Calico Jake.
“Last Chance saloon. Finest of Wines
and Liquors.” The boys alighted and
went inside.
“Line up fellers and select your
pardners. W'hat’ll it be?” said Jake,
as he laid a flve-dollar bill on the
counter.
“Hornets Juice, hornets’ Juice!”
they yelled out in unison, “and be
(Mined quick about it.” As the bar
t keeper, a recent importation from
Chicago, having never seen men so
loaded down with six-6hooters, his
hands trembled when he sat the bot
tle down. When the glasses had been
filled and emptied; Calico sud
denly looked out of the door,
saw a prairie dog and blazed
away at it so quickly that
the barkeeper jumped three feet
from the floor. The others rushed to
the door only to see the dog writhing
in the dust of the public road. Men
came rushing from other establish
ments, at the sound of the shots, but
seeing that there was nothing doing
m
“You Cash in Fer Me When You Git
to Marlin. Something is to Happen
in About a Week.”
in the way of a man fight, returned
to the doors. Meantime the bar
keeper had counted out the proper
change for Calico—$4.40.
“Come er runnin’, boys, and look
at this!" as he pointed to the silver
in front of him. “I do reckon I won
der whar in thunder he thinks 1
come from. How much was it 1 give
him, 'Red’?"
“Twenty? No. I didn’t have noth
ing smallern’ a fifty an' that’s what
I handed him, wasn’t it, Buck?”
“Why, sure it was," said Buck.
“Well, the skunk! Shall we kill him
here or drag him over to Lick Skillet
and let the dogs eat him up?”
The barkeeper hastily went to his
drawer. “Really,” said he, “you
didn’t—”
“What’s that! Didn’t hey? Well,
we'll just show you a trick that you
never heard of afore,” and with that
he proceeded to draw his gun.
In an instant the barkeeper’s hands
were above his head. He begged for
giveness. If he had made a mistake,
he certainly would rectify it then and
there.
“Well, shell her out; shell her’out!”
they all demanded at once. And $49.40
were laid upon the wooden bar.
Then the boys went down the little
street, relating their experience to
all the other saloonkeepers, who
agreed with them that the Chicago
yankee was a crook. After having
spent about the amount they
straddled their ponies and were soon
in Abilene again. “Stell” set out pies
and coffee, and her patrons ate raven
ously. When they had finished, Cali
co took tne waitress to one side and
handed her a roll of bills. “Now
then,” said he, “we’ll go to Big
Springs or bust up the X Y outfit.”
The evening of the ball rolled
around. The train which left Abilene
at 7 o’clock would put them there in
ample time. At five Calico began dress
ing. His boots had been shined, his
hair sprinkled copiously with Florida
water, his mustache greased and his
chin shaved. His hat was cocked to
one side and a cigar tilted upwards
when he called on “Stell.” She sur
veyed him critically. “’Pears to me,”
she said, “you'd look stylisher if you’d
take that air red handkerchief from
ycur neck,” and oil came the red ban
dana.
“Stell” was in a hurry. She had not
begun to dress, and here it was close
to 6 o’clock. Once upstairs she be
gan squeezing herself into a corset
two sizes too small for her. But she
got it fastened. She frizzed her hair,
powdered her face, put on a velvet
colored dress, tied a blue belt around
her waist and then she was ready!
The ball was a great social success.
To her surprise the first man to ap
proach her when she arrived was
the Doc. But she turned him away.
There were six members of the X Y
ranch that attended and after “Stell”
had danced with each one for a set,
she gave her time wholly to Calico.
There were few fights, and the barrel
of whisky lasted until daybreak, at
which time the Abilene contingent
took the train for home.
“Calico” and “Stell” slept in the
same seat during the ride, indiffer
ent to the eyes that were turned upon
them. As they were descending from
the train platform at Abilene, “Cali
co” turned to “Buckeye” and said:
"You easn in for me when you git to
Marlin. I’m gwinter stay here. Some
thing is to happen in about a week.”
Peculiar and Fatal Accident.
Mrs. Joseph Krumful of Altoona.
Penn., was milking, when the cow
turned her head to brush off a fly
and ran a horn into the woman’s
brain, through her eye, causing a fatal
injury.

TURKEY WITH THREE BIG LEGS.
Bought by Boarding House Keeper,
It Proved a Disappointment.
la a coop of turkeys received by a
commission man yesterday was one
which had three legs. The whole
number are visible between the slats
of the coop, the extra one standing at
a slight augle from the two others,
but perfect in form down to the toe
nails.
The keeper of a small boarding
house expressed a desire to purchase
the turkey on account of the extra
leg, and said he would like to have a
whole coop of them, and would like
them to have four legs, if possible.
When asked why he desired so
many legs on turkeys, he said he al
ways liked the leg of a turkey, and
he had three boarders, and when
there was turkey for dinner he al
ways asked them what part they pre
ferred, and ail three of them always
wanted a drumstick.
Of course, only two of them could
be suited, and he never got a drum
stick. The last time all three of the
hoarders asked for a leg off one bird
he lest his temper, and said he
guessed they must think he was carv
ing a centipede.
After buying the three-legged tur
key he found that the extra leg grew
out of another one at the knee joint,
and would be gone when the fowl
was put on the table, and so after all
the turkey had only two legs and a
half.—Portland Oregonian.
JUST A DELICATE HINT.
How Irishman Wittily Suggested Ad
ditional Refreshment.
An Irish jarvey was driving with an
English visitor, who was on his way
to spend Christmas with some rela
tives in Ireland, on a bitterly cold day
in December through the wilds of
Connemara. They became quite so
ciable on the way, and the native, in a
burst of confidence, pointed out a she
been where the "best potheen in Con
nacht” might be obtained. The Eng
lishman, only too glad to get an op
portunity of warming himself, offered
refreshment, which offer was readily
accepted.
” 'Tis a very cold day in these parts,
Pat?" observed the tourist.
" 'Tis, your honor,” replied Pat. He
raised his glass, and the contents
speedily vanished. "And there's truth
in the ould sayin',” he suggestively
added, smacking his lips; “one swal
low never made a summer.”—London

Reaping Machines in Syria.
Reaping machines were employed

In the history of this country, the pres
ent year has witnessed the introduc
tion and operation in Syria of a steam
threshing outfit. It came from Rich
mond, Ind., and caused considerable
stir in Coele-Syria, where it was in
stalled. Its success was complete,
even to the bruising of the straw—a
most important item, since, in the ab
sence of hay and with the sparing use
of oats, barley and other grains,
crushed straw, in these parts, consti
tutes the staple food for stock. Fur
thermore, for the first time in the an
nals of Syria, an oil-motor flour mill
has been successfully started in this
land; it came from Indianapolis, and
is now grinding wheat in Lebanon.—

Senator Clark's Bad Precedent.
While going through his mail the
other morning Congressman Bower
sock of Kansas paused some time over
one letter and said: “I am inclined
to think that Senator Clark of Mon
tana has established a bad prece
dent.” Someone asked why he had
reached that somewhat belated con
clusion. "For this reason,” replied
the Kansas man, holding up the let
ter and newspaper clipping. "The
clipping recites how Mr. Clark gave
$1,000,000 to his first grandson and
the letter, which is from my son, is
as follows: ‘Dear Father: This plan
worked well in Senator Clark's case,
why not try it yourself?’ Thate why
I rather think the senator has set •
bad precedent.’’
Excusable Profanity.
Rear Admiral Melville addressed the
Engineering society of Columbia uni
versity on Arctic experiences last
week, and for nearly three hours kept
his audience deeply interested, many
of his hearers being women. In tell
ing what happened at the wreck of
the Janette he said that at one time
he was afraid of being swamped and
that made him swear. ‘‘So I turned,”
said he, ‘‘and yelled, G— d—n it, 1
must run for it or swamp.’ It made
me swear, ladies and gentlemen.” For
a moment everybody was startled, but
a round of applause scon testified to
an understanding that the sailor was
merely realistic and not profane in the
ordinary way.
A Long Correspondence.
Mrs. J. J. Smith of Columbus, Ohio,
and Mrs. Sarah E. Martin of Weuo
na. 111., have a record for continuous,
uninterrupted correspondence that
would bo hard to equal. Both of these
old ladies were born in Franklin
county, Ohio, and were close friends
from earliest childhood. Forty-seven
years ago, however, the parents of
Mrs. Martin removed to Illinois, and
then began the correspondence that
has never been allowed to flag. At
least once evety month they exchange
letters, one writing on the first and
the other on tho fifteenth. The only
times they have not written is when
one has been visiting the other.
TEMPTATION OF THE DEACON.
Ho Came Near Getting Into Trouble
a Few Nights Ago.
"Uredren,’’ said Deacon Snowball at
the experience meeting, "I cum

‘‘Amen!” moaned some one in a

“I done tried my bes’ ter resist,”
went on the deacon, “but all de time
mah conscience said ‘stop’ de temptah
said ‘Go on'; and so I kep’ a gittin’

“Glory!” came from the back seats.
“But, praise de Lawd, just when

WAX MINES OF GALICIA.
One of the Moat Curious Fields of
Industry Imaginable.
Mineral wax—generally known as
ozocerite—has taken the place of
beeswax in making candles, and is ob
tained from Utah and California, in
America, and from Wales and Galicia
and Roumania, in Europe. When
found it is a dark, rich brown color,
translucent in thin films, but when
refined it resembles well-bleached
beeswax. The wax mines of eastern
Galicia, which a syndicate of Ameri
can capitalists leased, form one of the
most curious fields of industry imag
inable. They are at and around
Boryslaw, which is also the center
of the eastern oil district of that part
of Austria.
The wax lies in beds, like clay, at
depths of from 350 to 600 feet, and
shafts are sunk to the beds. The
Boryslaw wax field is only 50 acres
extent, and upon that 1,000 shafts
■were sunk. Six thousand men live and
work on that tract. The owners of
the deposits have made immense for
tunes from the products, as it is very
valuable, fetching fourpence a pound
at the pits. The manifold uses to
which paraffin has been adapted has
given this Galician deposit a very
wide utility. It is found in veins 16
inches thick, and is dug out with
shovels, and then raised from the
shaft with buckets and a windlass.
How a Woman Handles an "Ad.”
A woman comes into a newspaper
office, comments on the condition of
the weather, removes her gloves,
raises her veil, gets out her $4 lace
handkerchief, digs into her chateline
bag and brings out a little scrap of
paper, upon which is written a sim
ple advertisement for a hired girl.
She then inquires the price, which is
to run at the head of the want column
213 days in the year, asks for the best
location possible, expresses a hope
that she will get a good girl this time,
^uts her gloves back on, and, picking
up her skirt, says: "Well, I guess
that’s all, and departs, leaving her
handkerchief on the counter. When
she trots her 10-year-old boy on the
errand he dashes in, drops a quarter
and a slip of paper on the counter,
says, “Mom wants this in the paper,”
and is gone, after having slammed the
door. But he has transacted the same
business.—Atchison Globe.
Tired of Duplication.
A teacher In a national school, who

PROF. THOMAS F. ADKIN.
President of tbe Institute of Physicians and
Surgeons.
In all parts of the country men and women,
loctora and surgeons, clergymen and educators,
are wondering at the remarkable cures made by
Prof. Thomas F. Adkln, discoverer of the Adktn
Vltaopathic treatment.
Prof. Adkln heals not by drugs, nor by Chris
tian Science, nor by Osteopathy, nor ty Hypno
tism. nor by Divine Healing, hut by a subtle
psychic force of nature it combination with,
certain vital magnetic redemies which contain
the very elements of life and health.
A reporter recently talked with Prof. Adkln
and was asked to Invite all readers of this paper
who are sick or who are worled by the ills of
those dear to them, to write to hitn for assist
ance. "Some people have declared,” said Prof.,
Adkln, "that my powers are of God; they call
me a Divine healer, a man of mysterious pow
ers. This Is not so, I cure because I understand
nature, because i use the subtle force of nature,
to build up the svstern and restore health. Hut.
at the same time 1 believe that the Creator woul<$
not have given me the opportunity to make the
discoveries 1 have made or the ability to develop
them. If He had not intended that 1 should use
them for the good of humanity. I therefore
feel that It is my duty to give the benefit of
the science 1 practice to all who are suffering.
1 want you to tell your readers that they can
write to me In the strictest confidence If they
are troubled with any kind of disease, and I,
will thoroughly diagnose their cases absolutely
free of charge and explain by a simple guar
anteed home treatment how a complete cure
Uhould be effected. 1 care not how serious ther
taaes, nor how hopeless they may seem, 1 want
them to write to me and let me make them!
jwell. I feel that this is my life work. "
8o groat Is the sensation wrought In the medti
•cal world by the wonderful cures performed by
Prof. Adkln that several professional gentlemen
were asked to investigate the cures. Among
thesj gentlemen were Dr. L. I) Hswley and
•Dr. L. O. I mane, both famous physicians and
surgeons. After s thorough and painstaking In
vestigation these eminent physicians were so as
tounded at the far reaching powers of Prof. Ad
iln, and the wonderful efficacy of Vitaopathy that
They volunteered to forsake all other ties Id
•Ilfs and all other kinds of treatment and devots
themselves to assisting Prof. Adkln In his great
fork for humanity. With the discovery of the
dkln Vltaopathic treatment eminent physicians
re generally agreed that the treatment of dis
ease has at last been reduced to an exact science.
In all some 8,000 men and women have been
cured by the powers of Prof. Adkln. Soma
were blind, some were lame, some were deaf,
some were paralytics, scarcely able to move, so
jgieat was their Infirmity. Other* were afflicted
with Bright's disease, heart disease, consump
tion, and other so-called Incurable diseases. Some
were sufferers from kidney trouble, dyspepsia,
•nervous debility. Insomnia, neuralgia, constipa
tion, rheumatism, female troubles and other sim
ilar Ills. Borne were men and women addicted
*o drunkenness, morphine and other evil habits,

With all hope of recovery gone and despaired of

go perfect health by the force of Vitaopathy and
Prof. Adkln’s marvelous skill. And, remarkable
Cs it may seem, distance has made no differ

{the privacy of their own homes, as well as those
Who have been treated in person. Prof Adkln
Asserts that he can cure any one at any distauce
as well as though he stood before them
Not long ago John Adams of Blakcsbury, la.,
who had been lame for twenty years, was per
manently cured by Prof. Adkln without an opera
tion of any kind. About the same time tbs
city of Rochester. N. Y., was startled by the
cure of one of It* oldest residents, Mr. p. A.
Wright, who had beeu partly blind for a long
period. John E. Neff, of Millersburg, Pa., who
had suffered for years from a cataract over his
left eye, was speedily restored to perfect sight,
without an operation. From Logansport, lnd., ^
comes the news of the recovery of ,Mrs. Maiym*
Etcher, who had been practically deaf for a year%i
while in Warrant Pa.. Mr. G. W. 8avage. a noted W
photographer and artist, who was not only par
tially blind and deaf, but at death's door from a
complication of diseases, was restored to perfect
health and strength by Prof. Adkln.
Vitaopathy cures not one disease alone, but It
cures all diseases when used In combination
with the proper remedies. If you are sick, no
matter what your disease nor who says you can
not be cured, write to Prof. Adkln today, tell
