Some of us nro young follows like myself ; then there nro several who are much older , bnt Inking them altogether iTJIK OUTFIT IS AS HOOD as any on the range. Ot course there are some queer follows among them. It wa.f at the round-tip in thu spring of 1883 that a young fellow , well dressed and with a good appearance , eamo to us just as wo were gulling rotuly lo start out. Ho gtivu his name as Alf Greenwood and I never saw a jollier , livelier fellow in iny'lifo. Doing shot t of men our oss promptly engaged him at tlio munificent salary we were then gelling of $30 a month. None of us could exactly under stand Alf. ho always insisted on dressing well , and generally wore a white or boiled shirt , even on Iho round-up. Everyone liked him , however , for his perpetual jokes and good humor. It was in Ino August roundup of that year that a boy eamo lo our camp and wauled em ployment. Our boss liked tlio boy's an- pcaranco but thought ho was too young for the business. However , Iho boy who called himself Tom Johnson , insisted so strenuously ou joining our outfit that ho was engaged at least until the fainnmcr roundup was over. One day we went out on the nlains , h.iving heard , that a number of cattle , AVllO HAD UIIIl'TEU TIIK WINTEIl Illil'OKR , had gotten do\yn on Iho Arkansas some hundreds of miles from where they be longed , and determined to follow them. Striking a clump of collonwood , we eon- eluded to camp for the night. After making all our arrangemonlH , some of Iho boys proposed a target match , everyone ono of them assorting that ho could hit the "bullVoyo" every time. The weapon Used was the Coil's " 44" with which they were all armed. A number of trials were made and Alf Greenwood won all the wagers made , which were of small cou- semieuco. 1-iiially a big bully , belonging lo Hie outfit , said ho could discount Green wood's score. Ho was called Gopher Dill and was generally feared , and I might say , haled , by the rest of the boys. Greenwood , who was never known to bhirk any duty , although a "greenhorn" and "tenderfoot" in our camp had made himself quite a favorite with us , and , strange lo.say , Tom Jolui.sou , for some unaccountable reason , had attached him self almost instantly to him. Naturally , as wo llionglil , GIIKKMVOOD Accr.inT.n Tin : CHALLENGE , and completely eclipsed the performances of his competitor. Finally , Dill made a shot very neearly in the confer of the bull's eye. "Deat that , " said lip looking up with a bragging air , especially atj Greenwood. Alf turned up his nose , with a defiant look , and quickly drawing his revolver , put a "slug" through the hole made by Dill's shot. An almost demoniac expression came over tlio face of tlio challenger as ho said : "You think you are a dead shot , don't youV" " 1 think I can put a hole through you , " said Alf. Furious with anger at tlio words and the approval of Uio boys , Dill replied : "You dare not meet mo behind the cot- lonwoods. " "I am your service at any time , " said Alf , with a mock bow. For lliis slight cause the two men agreed to light a duel , in which one , or perhaps both , might lose their lives. The whole party immediately adjourned to the edge of tlio creek , liEUINll A CLU3I1 * OF "WILLOWS and cotlomvoods. It was arranged lhat Dan Morclnnd , ono of Iho older of our men , should give Iho word , after calling 'one , ' 'two , ' 'three. ' The whole thing possessed tv certain fascination for the boys and they all formed a circle around the two champions. The most interested person in the group , however , was tlio boy Tom Johnson. Standing near Green wood , his eyes were ilxcci upon every movement made by his antagonist. The two being placed in position More- land said , "Aro you ready ? " Tccoirhtg an allirmalivo nod ho began , slowly and deliberately , "One , two " A sharp report was heard , and smoke was seen issuing from Dill's pistol. Al most like a tigress the boy sprang in front of Greenwood , drawing his pistol at tlio same time and muttering. "Coward. " Witli a wicked look Goplior Dill drew a bead on the boy , but instantly a dozen hands threw up Iho mu/.x.le of his pistol. It looked for a moment as though there would bo trouble , but Dill who WAS KCALLY A rowAim at heart saw that the odds wore strongly against him and with n queer sort 01 iv smilosnid : "You seem lo bo all against mo , but I'll irot satisfaction. " At this moment a queer thing hap pened the. hey Tom had fainted. With a mixture of pity and disdain tlio boys unbuttoned his blue llannel shirt and discovered that ho was a women. The situation was a peculiar ono as well us picturesque. There lying on Iho grass was Iho form of the boy with his curly hair clustered over his pallid fea tures , these rough men standing in a pitvinsr , perplexed group around with the setting sun casling long , slant shad ows uero.is the plain , anoslcd only by scanty Irco growth , on tlio loaves of which its golden tiuls dwelt lovingly , as if aware of the ovauo&ccnt character of its caress.

ELM CREEK , Dufialo Co. , Neb. , Feb. 5. [ Correspondence of Iho DEE. ] This thrifty town is localed on the Union Pa cific railroad.in the extreme southwestern portion of DulValo county. It numbers a population of two or three hundred , nnd is surrounded by a line stock and agricultural section of country. The town is made up of the usual comple ment of stores , two churches , a good school , an elevator having a capacity of 15,000 bushels , lumberyard , livery stable , two hotels , two butcher shops , small stock j'ards , ono real estate firm , and .other en terprises. A good roller mill is approach ing completion , lo have a capacity of liny barrels of Hour unily. It will bo a great convenience to Hie people in and around here. Two miles south of town a bridge is about completed across the 1'latte which will bring the trade and other business of a large , well settled and high ly productive section of I'helps county , to this place. The bridge is 4,000 feet in length and will cost $1,000. Its consiruc- lion is largely duo lo the enterprise of'a few leading citizens of Elm Crook , and the thrifty farmers on the south side of the river who want an outlet at this noint. It will give the town qnile a boom. Elm Creek is not asleep. She is growing and rounding inlo form in good shape , and she will not permit many of the golden opportunities to slip through her lingers. Parties desiring bargains in agricultural lands and ranches will find near bore several very desirable pieces , that are considered cnoico locations anil can bo purchased on the most reasonable terms. They are well watered , produce a luxuriant growth of grass and gome timber. Elm Creek enjoys the blessings of n live professor. His card is interlarded with the following brand : "Prof. IU. L.

VET. Ulllll llCiUlfl. Now York Sun : Wo are asked to answer these three questions "for the benefit of a vast number of the readers of the Sun , " and we can understand why so many of our friends have a great in- tprcst in the subject to which our atten tion is called : ' Is there any way , cither by a course o diet or the application of a prcnnrntlen , by means of which the hair can be prevented Irom falling1 out ? "Is there any way to sticnglhen Iho hair and nuke It thick ? "Why Is It that the majority of men nro bald or paitially bald ? "X. " There are multitudes of preparations oflered for the cure of baldness , but either they do not work infallibly or a great part of men are so little disturbed by their bald heads that they fail to give them a fair trial. In every assemblage of men ludd pates are numerous , and many of those which show the lea t hair being comparatively young fellows of thirty and forty. We infer from this fact that it is not easy to start a new crop of hair when the old has fallen out for any other than a merely temporary reason , because young men especially must dislike to go about with heads almost as bald as those of babies , and we do not doubt that they spare no pains to make the hair grow again , and only desist from the effort when they find it hopeless. Instead of seeing fresh hair coming , they may lind tlioy only make their pates the shinier by rubbing them with the preparations. And yet it it probably indisputable that some men have been able to thicken their hair by the use of the hair restoratives so fre quently advertised , but perhaps they were not of the kind doomed to early baldness. For the majority of men nro either balder or partially bald , according to recent sol- pntilip authority , because the human race is going to lose the hair on its head , and they are only the forerunners of the uni versal baldness which is to bo. The bald heads of this day may , therefore , pride themselves on being further along in Iho development of man than the men who glory in their luxuriant locks. The theory is that men will bo born without hair roots on their heads , or with only a very temporary supply of hair , which they will lose when they mature as they lose other features of the child. Of course , if that is sound , there is no use trying to oppose tlio general ten dency with hair mvlgorators , "Sweet IJy anil By. " This is how the now famous hymn "Swept Dy and Dy" came to bo written : Dr. Fillmore Dennett , the author , lives at Iltchmond , Illinois , and is poor. The hymn was written by Dr. Dennett at Elkhorn - horn , Wisconsin , in 1808. The writjng of the words was basedupoiia remark' made by J. P. Webster , who composed the music. Mr. Webster was of tin exceed ingly nervous and sensitive nature nnd subject to periods of terrible depression. In ono of his melancholy moons he chanced to drop in at the house of Dr. Dennett , when the latter asked him : "What is the mailer now ? " "Oh , it is no mntlu' , " replied Iho despondent man : "It will bo all right by and by. " The la&t thrco words immediately convoyed n suggestion - gestion lo Dr. Dennett and , ho says : "Tlio idea of tlio hymn came to mo Ijko a flash of sunlight , " Turning to his desk ho penned the words which have since become t.o famous. Ho says it did not take him more than twenty minutes to write the hymn. s All Uio Sumo.

A Waco ( Tex. ) correspondent , writing to Uio St. Louis Globe-Democrat , says : There is living InVaco \ to-day a vener able nnil unostentatious old gentlemen , who on sunny'ilays may bo scon cautious ly picking his way along Iho streets seeking for Iho sunshine which assists his progress , for ho is nearly blind. Away back there in ' 30 a tall , stately young German named Krath made his appearance - , anco in Houston and asked what the \ chances of employment were for n civil engineer in tlio then outlying province of Jloxico. There was something In the air and manner of the young but forlorn- looking stranger which won for him the respectful ntlenlion of Iho hardy but in telligent men who had then only effected a precarious foothold in the wilderness of Texas. After some delays and vicissitudes of various kinds Krath found employment as a surveyor , and was sent with a small party to the very heart of Iho then un known wilderness about where Cameron county was since located. A largo tract of land had been purchased by the pro jectors of nGurmnn colony , and it was his business to survey and plat It previous to its distribution among thy several members of tlio colony. Leaving Hous ton , the bravo young Austrian and his insignilicant party were soon on the ground in the very midst of the Coman- elias , L'oncns , and Wacoes , which tribes roamed at wil ever the beautiful prairies of this romantic region. After two years ol arduous work in Iho wilds of central Texas , and after com pleting his task to tlio satisfaction of his employers , Krtith made his way buck lo Houston and received nearly $10,000 in gold for the service rendered. Not Ion ; ' after a stately ship from Nice arrived oil the bar at Galveston , bearing on board the colony for which the Mirvey had been made. Thobo people were prin cipally Germans , the greater number being Anstrians. young Kruth piloted them to Cameron , and to his experience , gained by his two years of toil , the new comers were indented for much of the success afterward achieved. IJeJonging lo one of the families of Iho colony was a fair-haired , blue-eyed girl from a romantic dell nestled co/.ily at the foot of the Tyroleon Alps. Our young surveyor was captured very promptly and ellectuuUy-fiand now the silken chains which then so securely bound him are gradually slipping gracefully from his once strong-heart , and the fair Austrienno has been foij several years quietly sleep ing in n beajulitul spot on the banks of the Hosqiio , six miles west from Waco. The colony was securely planted , and after a month's basking in Iho Minlit smiles of the bjtic-cycd stranger , Eratli was sent to in distant part of the province , still in his character of surveyor. He had been away wJme'months when word Wiis brought to llis camp to the cllect that the Austrian colonists were sadly beleaguered by the Indians Mid had been lighting dai ly for over il'inontli to defend their own lives and thpij pf the helpless ones com- millcd to their care. In an hour after the droadfuJjiit'JvS'had reached him JSrath and his entire'pavty wore mounted and in hot march'to relieve the distressed col ony. In good time they arrived in tlio vi cinity of the settlement , and upon every hand were to be seen the evidences of the presence of a largo number of In dians. After looking well to their arms and having rested and refreshed their horses , the little party of sixteen men cautiously approached in the roar of tlio beleaguer ing savages Tljcf bright sunlight of a fair April morninggilded the ( lowers glit tering on every hand. The southern song birds were noislessly chanting their gay est pcans to the god of day. The scene suggested nothing of Iho deadly work which was to occur cro Iho bravo rescu ers could carry relief to the distressed colonists. Cautiously was the approach made , and , after deploying from a thicket of elms which had concealed llieir approach preach , EralhVi party discovered what appeared to bo tin immense host of na ked , screeching devils doti'rminedly at tacking the feeble barricades of the set tlements. At Jong intervals in the line of defense could be seen a single rillo- man slowly discharging his piueo , but at every crack of the gun ono of the red devils bit the dust. A single glance was all that was neces sary lo determine the bravo Erath to rescue his friends , but moro especially to save the fair blue eyed stranger girl from a fate worse than death. "Vorwartsl" yelled tlio leader , and everyhor o of'tho sixteen and his bravo rider was amid the foes. It was shari > work. At close range the arrows and the Innco did fearful execution. JJnt the bold rangers went on. Every now and then one of the small number would drop from his horse and bo scalped before the half-muttered prayer was breathed. Erath was soon covered with blood from a do/en spear-head and arrow wounds. After repealed charges und repulses , and after three hours of such lighting as onq only sees on the frontier , Uio little party of resellers , now reduced to six , made their way Into the barrlcudo to witness a sight of awful and solemn sig nificance. Of the sixty men ho had left there a few months before , but cloven re mained. The remainder had been killed in tills most horoio defense Ono \yliicU had only had its counterpart at Thermo- pyho , and which was a lilting precursor of that wonderful struggle which years after occurred at the Alamo. This determined rescue had broken Iho spirit of the Indians , and , with yells of rage and disappointment they slowly left the place to.il : ; heroic defenders. Erath wnsjiofped from his hor.io. faint ing and alnib.st'unconiiciotis. Hut lie was received ii\1 \ < f Jlfft arms of the fair young Anstrionno iiiliiit was not Jong until ho was able to toll his burden of love and receive tliolswifelcst confession whichever over fell froni'iAorlnl ' lips. The colony hrM its ground , nnd many of the dc eml < J nt8 of the defenders still live in the ijuighborhood , and 11103' are reckoned UK , ajuong the best men and purest women qf Texas to-day. In a shortiUiuri Krath was married , and upon the I'ODipJion / of Uio crromony it was dlscoveri'd. that our now vuncrablu and aged friJ-'inLlvas a scion of a noble Austrian faiyllyi'ono vi'ry near in blood to the Ihrono. .

"Jt don't matter much now , " continued the bravo old frontiersman ; "my own race is. nearly run , and mv father ana mother quietly sleep among their kiudrdd , in the fair Austrian capital on the Dan ube. " 1 can not tell you how tenderly my heart returns in my blinded old ago to the bright 1'ome and facrs of my early boyhood. I seem to recall that period more vividly than any other , .No , no.

They that arc in dignity or in ofl'ico havoinall places precedency ; but whilst they are young tnoy ought to respect those that are their equals in birth or otlior qualities , though they have no pub lic charge. Strive not with your superiors in argu ment , but always submit your judgment to others with modesty. 15o not hasty to believe Hying reports to the disparagement of. any. C'Takq ' all admonitions thankfully in what time or place soever given ; but af terwards , not being culpable , take a limner or place convenient lo lot him know it that gave them. Think before you speak ; pronounce not imperfectly , nor bring out your words too hastily , but orderly and distinctly. Speak not evil of the absent , for It is unjust. Make no show of taking great delight in your victuals ; feed not with greedi ness ; cut your bread with a knife ; loan not on the table ; neither find fault with what you oat. 15o not angry at table , whatever hap pens , and if you have reason to be so , show it not ; put on a cheerful countenance , especially if there be strangers , for good humor makes one dish of moat a , feast. Let your recreations be manful , not sinful. Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial lire called con science. These arc not umvijc rules ; they touch on things great and small. The dillicitlty with most boys would bo to follow a hundred and ton of them. They servo , however , to show what was the standard of good manners anil morals among these who had the training of George Washington. Tnlkinp of Popular Mon. Chicago Herald : Ono of the common weaknesses of human nature is boasting , and nothing so quickly brings out this particular weakness and causes it to stand forth like a boil on the nose as a few ounces of firewater poured into a place where firewater should never be. hi a Madison street saloon one evening last week a number of convivial spirits were conversing between drinks of popu lar men about town. "Talkin1 about popular men in this town , " said ono who had hitherto been keeping quiet , "just look at mo. If I dp say it myself , I lead H'em all. My busi ness is on the North Side , and everybody over there knows mo and speaks pleasantly - antly to me , and is always glad to sue mo. Why , I can't walk along the street but what people are looking at mo and I'll in 'em standing hoping drop to see , and ing ready lo open the door for me.
