Fiddlers was excited. >*ot that there was anything traordinary in that, for the Flat was in a normal cond tion of excitement over one thing or another every hour in the day and vented it in much drinking, loud talking and lighting; but on this particular occasion the excitement was of an unique order that in its still intensity chilled and silenced the mobof men that crowded the doors of the "Mary's Eyes." sa­ loon and gambling house, the pro­ prietor of which, Velvet Jack, was at that moment being tried for his life before that most terrible of earthly courts, Judge Lvnih. It was not the tlrst killing at the Flat. This shooting scrape was only one jf the doz ns of others during the live months of Fiddler's exist­ ence, but the victim was a peculiar­ ly lootieosive creature known as ••Mud" to the campt He had no other name that he knew of, acd had earned his sobri­ quet by his un ai ing ill lu k at the gamingtables, and his equally unfail­ ing remarK as he rose penniless from his bout with the tiger: "Wal, my name's mud agin;" but on this partic­ ular occasion Mud's luck had run his way, and he had sat hour alter hour at the little oblong faro table since the night before and won with un­ failing regularity through every deal. Velvet, himself bad the shift at deal when Mud had won the last ounc? in the "bank roll," and,as the lucky player rose from his seat oppo­ site him, the gambler had without a word shot him through the heart The cold flendisbness of the act was too much foi the nerves of the Fid­ dlers, and the camp rose to a man and cried aloud for vengeance. They were waiting now tor the sen­ tence. Long Smith was the Judge. He occupied a chair placed on a faro table atone end of the long, low cabin, the identical chair that Velvet sat in when he shot Mud. Velvet sat a little to bis left, a guard at either side, on his right, the hastily chosen jury of twelve sat or stood, and beyond a rope stretched across the room, was the silent, ex­ pectant crowd. The evidence was all in, and Long Smith was setting himself down into a comfortable pos t on to listen to the counsel for defense, when Velvet suddenly rose to his feet and said: ••See here, boys, what's the use of going on with this monkey business any longer? 1 shot Mud. and you've determined that 1 must hang. Can't you drop this and take me out anri hang me and be done with it,instea I of torturing me with all this non­ sense? You know you're only-doing it to amuse yourselves." " The eye^of every man in the crowd were fixed on the prisoner during this speech, and then turned expectantly to the Judge. •'i-risner et the bar. yer be in* tried fer murder by the only kin' o' erco't this yer kentry hez. Ef tiler's eny- thin' ye hev ter say ye'llh.ver chance to say itfurder on." There was a hum of apptoval from the audience, and the counsel for the defense went on with his argument, followed by the counsel for the pros­ ecution. The court s;immed up and charged the jury, which, without a moment's hesitation, returned a ver­ dict of guilty. The Judge arose from his chair and said: "Velvet, yer gone in." there was no further assumption of judicial dignity: it dropped from him as one drops a cloak from his shoul­ ders, "ther boys hev giv' yer a sqi-ar deal, which's inore'n ye give Mud, 'n yer'U hev ter go under. What hev yer got ter say atrain it?" { V elvet smiled and shook his head. ! "You've got the drop on me. 1 j reckon," he said, "and i can't kick." ' Just at this moment there was a j struggle of some one trying to force I an entrance through the crowd at j the door, and the shrill tones of a ; woman's voice could be heard de-: that showed his white teeth under his black mustache, remarked that he was always delighted to please a lady, but that under the circumstance ho could not see anything to be gained by it. ^ fle had, in fact, pleaded guilty In the first place, and all that remained for the Judge was to pass sentence, but as they had insisted upon trying him once to please themselves^ they might as well try him again to please the lady. | There was a murtaer of apDroval at this sentiment lrotn the audien e, which was sternly checked by the court. The widow had been dipping ex- j snuff and eying Velvet during bis and the court's remarks and seemed to have made ud her mind to some­ thing she had b:en considering, for she suddenly closed her snutf box with a click, rose from her chair, ana turning to the court said: "Jedge, I'm the person what's bin most hurt in this yer scrap. I'm leP a lone woman with nary a man ter provide for me, an' I've beener thinkin' ther best way out o' this yer bi/.nis is fer this man what kilt my man ter git me er new one." She stopped amid a death-like silence. Velvet was the only man that preserved his customary un­ ruffled composure. Every other face wore an expression of horritied as­ tonishment for a moment and then a yell of delight went up from the crowd. The cool effrontery of the woman had caught their senses of the fitness of things. Here in a country where a woman most needed a man's pro­ tection her man had been taken from her. What more just t han that the man who had caused . s taking off should replace himv The racket sub­ siding, the court gravely arose and said: "Prisner at the bar, yer hev bin tried 'n foun' guilty of murder. Hev yer anythin' ter say why ther sen­ tence in thish yer co'te should not be past 'pon yer?" Velvet shook his bead smilingly and the court continued: 4 Ther sentence in ther co'te is, thet yer shall marry this yer woman 'n the co'te, ez a jestice will tie yer up right now." At this there was a yell that fairly shook the roof, and the audience rushed inside the bar to shake hands with the prospective bride and groom, and offer congratulations; but the bride had something else to say first "Jedge," she shrilled. "I've bin tell'd thet Mud win'd a con«id'ble et gambiin' last night 'n I want ther money." 'JLbe coin and dust had been im­ pounded by the court and he le- luctantly turned it over to the widow. After looking it over she stowed it away in a voluminous pocket and an­ nounced ber readiness for the cere­ mony. The counsel for the prosecu­ tion and defense acted as groomsmen and the foremen of the jury gave away the bride. Surely such another wedding was never seen. The lestivities lasted until Fiddlers was completely ex­ hausted; and when a couple of days later the Flat recovered from its carouse, Velvet and his wife had dis­ appeared. A few days later a tall, swagger- i ing, black mustached man, uccom- ! panied by a woman dressed in rusty ! black, with an immense sunbonnct j covering iier head and face, stood on I the deck of a Panama steamer mak­ ing its way down San Frandisco Bay towards the gate. They were at the rail, gazing at the fast-receding city. Suddenly the man snatched the sunbonnet. from the woman's head and whirled it overboard, and as it floated astern, said: "Good-bye to the Widow Mud, and now, old girl, we cah be comfortable again. The old bonnet served its turn, and it served it well, but I can't look down two miles of stove­ pipe ev ry time I want to see your pretty face. "--California Magaziue. Cicero ait a Joker. Cicero reckoned humor as a usefu; ally; indeed, he coniessed that the sense of humor was very powerful with him. "I am wonderfully taken with anything comic," he writes to one of bis friends. There is evidence that he was much given to mifking jokes. Evi­ dently the Roman audience was not _ very critical on this point, as Cicero's manding access to the court that was | J°kes were frequently nothing more trying the man that had killed hers. ! than puns. I erhaps the most intelligible is his retort to Hortensius, during the trial of Verres. Verres was said to have feed his counsel out of his Mciiian spoils. At all events tbere was a figure of a sphinx, of some artistic value, which bad found its way from the house of the ex-governor into that of Hortensius. Cicero was putting a witness through a cross-examination of which his opponent could not see the bear­ ing. "I do notunderstand all this," said Horteusius. "I am no hand at solv­ ing riddles." t "That is strange, too/' reioined Cicero, "when you have a sphinx at home." He knew the secret of a successful humorist in society, "that a jest never has so good an effect as when uttered with a serious countenance. I'm Mud's wife," she insisted in a shrill, sbaity voice. i "Oh, I know what yer nicknamed ! him.

She I was a tali, angular woman of 40 or : so, dressed in rusty black, with an immense calicosuubonnet that pro-1 jected over her face like a section of j stovepipe and eilectually concealed i her festures. ! The court ordered a chair for her j inside the bar. and when she had | seated herself remarked to her: j "We never knowed ef Mud werj a: mar'd man, marm; ef we had, we'd j shorly hev waited this trial for ye" "D' yer mean to say yer've gorn 'n tried this- yer man for killin' mine, 'n me not here ter^ee?

Snakes bite. In a poisonous snake the poison is in the small bags in the roof of the mouth, at the root of two hollow pointed teeth, known as tbc fangs. When the snake bites in anger, the teeth .are thrown forward, the roots pressing into the poison bags, and as the pointed teeth pierce the skin of the victim, the poison is forced into the wound. What is popularly called a snake's, sting is its long tongue, which is used as a 6ort of feeler; the snake itself being very near-sighted uses its tongue as an in­ sect uses its antennae. h„ v ^ *,*•' '• i r -? ,; s. ^ to ::w 7 \ . •|ftf ! y many more things a woman may do in these later days, there is less ex­ cuse foi neglect Every woman should be a capable housekeeper.

There is no surety except in a knowledge of the means of self- support Parents who give to their daughters such knowredge do better than to give them houses and lands.

[ On a Oriiily'i Trail; W. T. Hornaday. in an article on the bears of North America in St Nicholas, says: The Grizzly is not going to be ex­ terminated in a hurry^mn 188ti we found his fresh tracks quite plentiful as far east as the lower Musselshell River (longitude 108 degrees west) acd also saw the freshly picked bones of three beef-steers that Epbraim had killed and eaten. And it was right there, also, that for the first time in my life I left a trail because I was afraid to follow it farther. While hunting elk all alorib in ground that was loose and perfectly bare, save for a clumpy growth of stunted cedar and juniper, 1 saw the fresh tracks of a huge Grizzly. The clean-cut print of his hind foot measured exactly 9 by inches. I said to myself; "Here, at last Is my long-lost Grizzly!" and 1 joyously hied me along hts trail. Presently up came two more sets of Grizzly tracks, and joined those of my bear. They were not nearly so large as the tlrst set but for all that it woultl have been fairer to me if the two assistant Grizzlies bad stayed away. As the brush grew denser the perspiratl >n came out up­ on me more plentifully, and if my partner had only been with me, 1 would willingly have shared with hWn the prospective glory of bagging three Grizzlies in one day. But I was obliged to take my chances by my­ self. I skulked silently along the trail for an hour, peering, listing, sniffling the air (my friend Huffman assures me from experience it is sometimes possible to smell a Grizzly in brushy ground before seeing in), hunting foi those bears, but actually afraid of finding them. Finally t>he trail jumped down into the head of a deep and dark ravine that was steep- sided and choked with a brusb, a perfect man-trap, in fact. And right there I drew the line and quit the trail for that any. The next morning my partner and I took it up at that point followed it through that ravine and for miles beyond, until it struck some hard ground covered with pine-needles and was lost Favorite Music.

Weery to have opinions and prefer­ ences about all manner of profound subjects. "Are you fond of music?" she asked. Her new acquaintance returned a non-committal answer, but she was not to be discouraged. "Who is your favorite composer?" was her next inquiry. Mr. Weery, as it happened, was somewhat at honJe In that field, though he had little relish for a cross-examination. "Well, he said, after a moment's pause, "I think Franzl is perhaps the one whose works 1 enjoy most" "Franzl? Franzl?" said the- young woman. "Who was he? What has he written?" "He was a German. He flourished in the early part of the century, and wrote operas, concertos, songs and many other things." "1 don't remember that 1 ever heard anything of his." "Ptobadly not I never did. /His music is never performed in these days. In fact that is why he is my favorite composed" Sleep Walker*.

He seemed to be taking this plain talk well, or e'se he was a surly, dogged fellow. "Just think of it," the voice went on; "you're no sooner alone than you be­ gin abberin^ to yourself like an idiot Sometimes you talk to yourself about serious concerns. If the habit grows on you, as it seems to be doing, you 11 presently be giving yourself away bad­ ly. Some of your arfairs of the heart will be coming out next and getting you into trouble.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip­ tion is the best restorative tonic and nerv­ ine at this time. The best bodily condition results from its use. It's a remedy spe­ cially indicated for those delicate weak­ nesses and derangements that afflict wo- menkind at one period or another. You'll find that the woman who has faithfully used the "Prescription" is the picture of health, she looks well and she feels well. In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis­ placements common to women, where there are symptoms of backache, dizziness or fainting, bearing down sensations, disor­ dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc., the trouble is surely dispelled and the sufferer brought bock to health and good spirits. "WOMAN'S ILLS Mks. W. R. Batcs, of Dilworth, Trumbull Co., Ohio, writes: "A few years ago I took Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which has been a great benefit to me. I am in excellent health now. I hope that every wo­ man, who is troubled with ' women's ilia,' will try the ' Prescrip­ tion ' and be benefited as I have been."
