Bis name was Phineas Ellsworth, but we boys at the ‘IIX Ranch” called him “Hilly Brag,” lor r-asons which ten minutes’conversation with him would make obvious, even to a totQl stranger. To say that he was opinionated is drawing it very mild, and to state that the chiefest ot his opinions was the particularly excellent one he held of himself, is super--11 nous. Ihose were humdrum, monotonous days at the “1IX,” and there was scant opportunity for Billy to exhibit the courage, prowess, skill, ability, and so forth, which—we had his own oft-repeated statements for it—he possessed to a remarkable degree. Once in a while, something would happen to relieve the monotony; but Billy, somehow or other, was never on deck to show what lie was worth. He always turned ii)» afterward with: “Huh! you galoots jes make me ache all over! TV’y, any bloomin' tenderfoot c’d a tol’ ye better’n that!” or. “That wuz a fool trick! Now, es I d be’n thar. I’d a did so and so ” or, “Huh! d'ye call that anythin’ ter menshun? W’y, back thar. on th’ Keya Paha, we used t’ let th’ kids an’ wimmen io that kin’ o’ work!” And so it went on for nearly a year, •and, though we invented many a plan to give Billy an opportunity to show his worth, lie managed, on one pre- :

text and another to keep out of our snares. One day, Cale Snelling, who was out looking up some strays, fell in with a Maverick steer feeding in a coulee, and, thinking at first that it was an “BX” “critter,” rode toward it. But the beast was what is known as a “bad un,” and, horns down and bellowing with rage, he turned and charged on the startled cowboy. Cale tried to turn his pony and run, but aiuf'sno^ ?y. ns k'nmn. and only reared • about to take a place herding but he yanked his gun and let po. catching the steer right between the eyes, and dropping it not more than

ten feet away. Cale was a bit new in the business, i and he was rattier pale whim he rode up to the ranch and related his experience, but there was a triumphant tone in his voice as he told of his successful shot from the back of a bucking pony. Billy listened with a superior air. “Huh!" he remarked, disdainfully, “whadje wanter kill 'im fer? Ye c'd jes ’z well ‘creased' an’ roped 'im. Some folks never hev no r'gard fer prop’ty. Waste not. want nothin’.” We all groaned and proceeded to congratulate Cale on his luck, but Billy did not seem to care. He was getting used to our irreverence. It may be noted, however, that when we tried 1 next morning, to get Billy to take a shot at a blanket nailed on a shed-door, to sec how near he could have come to ••creasing” a mad steer from the back of a fool pony, our proposition met with scorn. •■There ye go agin.” said Billy. “W hat's th' blame use o' wastin' er whole lot o' ca’tridges jes't’ convince er mess o’ gabblin' egiots thet er thing kin be did? Aw,gooff an’ try poundin' san' in rat-hole fer yer wits. But ye carn't even do that.” And he rode oil much

offended. When Joe Fleming. brother of the

boss, and Hank Barr had a brush with half a dozen Indians, and just escaped with their lives, leaving a bunch of fat cattle to be run off by I’ncle i Sain's dear sweet proteges. Billy's opinion was at once forthcoming. I ‘■Huh I Ye mout jes’ ’z saved mos’ o' i th’ critters an’ got them thievin’ red , cusses, too. Wy didn’t ye, w’en ye ; seed 'em ridin' down on ye. jes' kill three ’r four critters, pile ’em up fer a barricade, an’ give th' red devils reg’lar h —l? That’d bes better'll losin' th’ hull bunch.” When Bob Hall, cowboy from the । “3-Bar,” the next ranch—one of the meanest, ugliest, most quarrelsome bullies who ever flourished a gun—got killed at the hotel in town by an unoffending tenderfoot, whom he had tried to compel to take a drink, Billy, as usual had something to say. “Huh! That’s them tenderfeet all over. They think if er man tries t’ hev fun with 'em out hyar, thet they’ve got t’ shbot, an’ shoot quick. Th’ galoot oughter’ve jes’ took Bob Hall b’ th' scruff o’ th’ pantsan’ kicked ’r throwed ’im out, an’ Bob 'd've pollygized too quick. Bob Hull never had no sand.” All the same, there was an old story to the effect that once, when Billy * had been unaccountably absent from the ranch for three or four days, he had been in town, devoting considerable attention to keeping out of the billigerent Mr. Hall’s way. But Billy’s opportunity came one day. He had been laid up a week and was still lame as the result of being on the side next the ground when his pony stumbled and fell one day, and was sitting at the door one morn- , ing about 11: 30, when the stage came teh along. Several of us were in the

I ranch-house, and were somewhat surprised to hear the wheels outside, for the stage-road was two miles from tie ranch. As we crowded to the door, we saw “something was up,” for Hyer the driver, looked excited. ‘ Aiornin’, gentlemen,” he said. And then, to Boss Fleming: “FlemI expect Vbe held up over b’ I i ve-Mile Creek. Kin one o’th’boys go with me? I’ll get ’nother man at Parker’s, an’ I reckon three’ll be ’nough.” “Why, yes; of course,” was the re ply; “you can have more, if you want ’em. I’ll go myself. But why didn’t you bring guards, if you’re carrying any valuables?” Dyer explained. The night before he had noticed three suspicious-look-ing characters in town, and observed that they eyed him considerably. 'Phis morning he had staited early, hoping to pass all the places favorable to a “hold-up” before the three toughlooking gentlemen had time to get located. He had felta bit backward about bringing guards, as he did not like to appear cowardly, and, besides, his suspicions might be groundless, and the laugh would be on him. 1 here were no valuables except the mail-bags. , But the three strangershad passed nun a mile back, evidently in a hurry to got somewhere; hence his visit to the “HN.” Fleming turned to get ready to go he was not the man to send somebody else into danger—but was met at the door by Billy, “heeled” with two revolvers and a Winchester. “Hullo, man!” ejaculated Fleming. “Didn't you hear me say 1 was going?” “Don t care es ye did,” answered Billy,, curtly. “Th’s plenty work t’ do, an’ my laigs is too stiff t’ straddle any blame bronco.” And he climbed painfully up on to the driver's seat, and the stage rolled away, leaving us staring at each other, unable to believe our eyes. The stage did not reach the FiveM:le, nor did it reach Parker's. At a j place two miles west of the “HX,” where the road traversed the edge of I a bluff overhanging a deep ravine, there were three shots fired, and brave Walt Dyer and his two team-leaders fell into the road. Then there were more shots-a rattling fusillade for

mulling insiiiaue nip two <ir three minutes—then silence. hen we got to the scene, we saw Billy Brag lying across the bodv of । th<‘ driver, supporting himself on one i elbow, and keeping “the drop" on a i : man who stood holding up one arm — 1 'the other was shattered, and hung limp. Iwo dead men, besides Dver, ' lai in the road. 'I he wheelers were : quiet now, but their hoofs had cruelly j mangled t he l»odies of their prostrate comrades in front. “I knowed ye’d come, boys," said Billy, “else Id a lied t’ kill this 'un, I | party.

T«mcli ttiv Bov*. A well-known man, the monument of whose exceptional ability as a i financier is the great dry goods estab- ' lishment of which he is tin head,eon- ; | tended that a discussion of the sul»- ; I ject from his standpoint would serve Ino good end, since every merchant : was an individual, and for every ’ individual there would have to be a different prescription, adapted to pm- ! sonal temperament, mental capacity ; and the material circumstances. , What would be good for one might be । । poison for another. He suggested that the way to make 1 good business men. who would know how to acquire a surplus todispuse of, : whether or not to invest in stocks, how much money to keep on hand and how to guard against stringency in the money market, was to give more ‘ attention to the morals of the boys who were starting in business. He j

wished it could be shown to them how they were wast ing t heir opport unities, how they were stultifying tlieir manly spirit, how they are wrecking tlieir chances for future prosperity when ; they indulge in games of ehar.ee. pool | playing, gambling, and other vicious ■ practices that rdb them of their ! night's rest and till their minds in the i day time to the exclusion of the business with which they are. intrusted. | Successful business men. he. insisted, : eojild. in the ."ijority of instances. | take care of their tinances fairly well, l but it is the next generation of business men that needs to be cultivated i with greater care. Ranching in Flordtn. Ranching, though the least known, is the oldest industry in Florida. For a great number of years cattle raising for the Cuban and West Indian markets has been an occupation of the active Flor/lian. From Punto Gorda and Punta Bassa, ports of Qharlloie harbor, about 10,000 head of cattle are annually exported to Cuba. They are not fattened, and, indeed, are only rounded up just before exportation; consequently the beef is wretched stuff, and the sl4 or sls paid for each of the beeves may be considered quite as much as they are worth. The pasture is poor the breed I still poorer; and, although there is a movement afoot to improve both, there can be little doubt as the Southern countries are settled, herds will diminish in size and the range of pasturage be greatly restricted. Kanehing as ranching will gradually die, and dairy farming will reign in its stead. —Macmillan’s Magazine. Father Time says: “Here’s a scythe for tho e who love me.”

|. RATTLER AND KING SNAKE. Uong and Desperate Battle Which Resulted in the Former's Defeat. Some thirty years ago a gentleman who was walking on a country road on a hot summer day heard a rustling in the dry leaves, and, going into the thicket, found a king snake and a rattlesnake engaged in a Sullivan-Ryan iight-to-thc-doath slugging match. The rattler was the bigger, but t'.ie king had the advantage in length and suppleness. Ilie king had his Jaws fastened like a vise at the ba k of the rattler’s head and was coiled around the rattler’s body. The king vas trying to squeeze his antagonist to death, and it goes without saying that the latter was struggling desperately to avoid his fate. It was about noon an I the spectator, who wanted his dinner as well as to see the result of the battle, got a po’e and, thrusting it between the entangled bodies of the serpents, carried them to his home, not le s than half a mile distant. He put them in the bottom of an upright empty flour barrel, and the contest continued. The king would become ex* hausted every few minutes, and his coils would relax. But he never loosened his jaws. Both snakes would then lie panting and resting. Each pause gave the rattler a new lease of life. But when the king would recover his breath and strength in some degree, ho would begin to tighten his folds again and the conflict would begin anew. And it continued thus until 10 or 11 o'clock that night, when the king relaxed its jaws and withdrew. His foe was dead. The victor lay stretched out at his ease for a considerable time, and then began to lick the rattler’s body. Bemnning at the head ho plastered the rough coat down even to the end of the tail. 'I hen, going back to the head, he began the swallowing process. To the observers this seemed a preposterous and hopeless Job, for the rattier was'not ; less than one-fourth, if not one-third ’ the larger of the two. The family lin- 1 gored into the small hours of the night I watching, and w. en they went to bed at least half the rattler was inside the king. Next morning there was only one serpent in the barrel, and he was as big as the two had been the dav before. He reminded these who behe d him of the I paper’s goat that had eaten a barrel. And the king seemed as dead as the rattler. It was many days before he moved. VV hen he showed signs of I life, and acted like he might want to • step down-town and got a drink, the barrel was gently turned down, and he ! crawled off into a big patch of hog weeds. Ami tliis is no jolo, says the : Sunny South, but a truthful account of : an actual oc urrence.

Singular Request. K Among the professors of the University of Basel, Switzerland, none occupied a higher place than Dr. Ignaz i Hoppe, who died a few days ago, leaving a large fortune and a will which are destined to play an important part in the । history of the town. Among the various bequests made by the dead man was one of §~OO,OOO for the investigation of the nature of the soul. The interest ‘of the money is to be used in paying the salaries and expenses of a certain number of scholars who are to live in the : house occupied by the professor, and I study and reflect upon the ] roperties j ana nature of the soul. From time to : time they are to publish the r suits of their investigations, that the world may be the judge of their efforts to follow out the provisions of the will. The men who undertake the work, according to the testament, must live frugally and । devote all of their time to the j roblem before them. They must be Christians, but may be either Catholics or Protestants. Their writings must be free from , all foreign words and phrases. “Subjective, ” “objective. ” “national. ” “transcendental,” and other similar words are also so find no place in their prospective works.

THE BLOOD. “The blood thereof is the life thereof,” says the Scriptures. The effort of all remedies that aim to heal diseases that attack the respiratory organs is to put the blood in proper condition.- The lungs remove the carbolic acid; the kidneys remove the uric acid. These two organs purify the blood. When you take cold both these organs are affected, the kidneys no less than the lungs. You cannot have a cold on your lungs without its ' affecting the kidneys also. Now, if i you will take Reid’s German Cough and Kidney Cuke, you will have a remedy that ministers at once to these two organs, restores them both to activity, and allays the inflammation. It is the only cough remedy on the market that does this. It is on this account the best. It is particularly I good for children, because it contains . no opiates, and there is no danger from i an overdose. Get it of your dealer. Sylvan Remedy Co., Peoria, 111.
