ARIZONA KICKER. ¥mWW^-..r-* «*••!•• «MWNM>d IMleacy of F«*-lia« HM- d«a Bwmth Hough Exteriors, Much hMbeen written regarding cow­ boy life on tile plains, and much of that imtixig has been so magnified that the onsophiaticated are led to believe that the cowboy is a veritable terror, whose glory lies in riotous conduct and termi­ nating the existence of fellow-beings. Such belief is exceedingly erroneous, for •side from many other noble traits, the eowboy has a heart as sympathetic as a female. This was demonstrated when •Long Tom Leiter and his gang were herding cattle al>out thirty miles to the north of Livingston, M. T. Leiter is a New Yorker, and came to the Northwest Wme years ago with his wife and mother. Every cow-puncher on the plains knew *Aunt Mag," as Long Tom's mother was familiarly known. She always had a kind word for them, and her devout Christianity had won respect from every one who had ever struck Long Tom's ranch. Leiter's lengthy form had given him the sobriquet of Long Tom, and he had worked his way up from a common herder to a Captain of a gang. He was in the vicinity of Musselshell with a heavy herd bound for Billings. Night was drawing near, and the boys had just got themselves ready to ride down the eattle and go into camp. Away to the west appeared a horse heading for the herd. Although not more than fairly outlined as a horse, Long Tom knew the animal, an extra m had at the ranch* ""Some one's comin' on, Dick," he •aid;"there's sumthin' wrong tu home." The horse drew nearer, and the rider Wfts recognized as Lieter's wife. Bare­ headed she galloped and almost gasped for breath as she said, "Mother's dead!" Long Tom's eyes fell, and as his hand threw his horse's mane under the bridle rein he called to his men that " Shorty Morton will take my place," and head­ ing for home, his wife and himself were off at a galltfp. After the cattle had been ridden down for the night Morton, who had been assigned to take charge of the gang, called the men together. Mor­ ton comes from some place in Ohio, near Hudson, in the Western Reserve, and is a college graduate. The roaming life of a cowboy fascinated him, and he's discarded his diploma for a lariat. "Boys," he said, "we've got to do something. Here's Tom out here away from civilization, with his mother dead, and Aunt Mag was a noble woman." His emotions choked back anything further he desired to say. •"Fellers," ifc was "Jersey Bill's" voice (nearly every man in the gang had a nickname). "Shorty's right. We've got to liev a decent buryin' for Aunt Mag. Some of us kin lite out fer Bill­ ings, an' git a coffin, an' we'll try an' fix things sum way." The suggestion met with favor, but Billings, the nearest point where a cof- fin was attainable, was over twenty miles to the southeast. It was agreed to send there for a coffin. At 9 o'clock that night "Jersey Bill" was tightening np the girth on his j>ony. "I'll take Joe Kelly's pony with me to carry the coffin, and'll be back by sun op." As he sung into the saddle his com­ panions crowded around and pressed money into his hands. "Get the best. Bill; Aunt Mag's worth •It," was the parting admonition from his Companions. All night the little crowd of cowboys sat around the fire and re­ luctantly took their turn at picket duty around the herd, as all were anxious to offer suggestions for Aunt Mag's fu­ neral. Dawn was just breaking when Jersey Bill showed up with a neat, cloth-cov­ ered coffin, which was token to Leiter's ranch at once. Long Tom was stunned, as he was just preparing to start on a mission similar to that of Jersey Bill. The remains of Aunt Mag were tenderly placed in the coffin by Mrs. Leiter and her husband. That afternoon a burial took place, jrach a burial as seldom occurs. Will­ ing hands had dug a grave on a knoll north of Leiter's cabin. The pastor, pall-bearers and mourners were cow­ boys, and the sympathy there mani­ fested came from deep down in the heart. Prior to depositing the coffined form of all that was mortal of Aunt Mag in the grave Morton made brief re1 marks, eulogizing the good deeds of the deceased. Every head in the group that stood around the grave was uncovered, and the lashes of every eye glistened with moisture." Drops of liquid crystal rolled down Jersey Bill's cheeks as he stooped over to aid in depositing the coffin in the grave. Although devoid of the pomp and formality of a funeral in the midst of civilization, no more sin­ cere, sorrowing mourners ever gathered around a bier than the crowd of cowboys that laid Aunt Mag to rest. \tT Good-Nat ured Bismarck. When I entered the apartment Bis­ marck was half leaning, half sitting on a huge desk, elad in the fatigue dress of a general, and as magnificent a pic­ ture of sturdy manhood as it has ever been my good fortune to see. His stal­ wart physique, broad shoulders, mighty chest, slim waist, and straight legs, might have been the envy of the young­ est officer of the guard. Though nearly four score years, he had recently trained his weight down from 260 to 180 pounds. I was presented after the con­ ventional fashion, and the Prince drew himself up, bowed, and at once relaxed again into his easy position against the desk. One of his attendants said to him quietly in German that I was the American correspondent who had writ­ ten asking him for an interview, and in an instant a wave of hilarious good nature swept over the Chancellor's face. A dozen wrinkles spread over his cheeks from the corners of his mustache and lus big gray eyes stared at me under the bushiest eyebrows I ever saw, with a degree of jollity, amusement, and I am sorry to say, derision, imaginable. A woman with such expressive eyes could win a heart-sick anchorite. The infection of his laughter is absolutely irresistible, and the pantomime would have been plain to a blind man. With­ out saying a word he gave me to under­ stand that my propositions were so pre­ posterous as to be ludicrous, but that he was amused and not offended. Then the secretary to whom I had been intro­ duced came in, and we talked for some time. The Prince's English is as per­ fect as that of any American I ever knew, and, of course, he made the con­ versation himself. Whenever I spoke of such a thing as the Brunswick suc­ cession, the Battenberg marriage, Bul­ garia, or any of the subjects then agitat­ ing Europe, he would laugh ag^in, and Xwist and talk around on American sub­ jects. I was there perhaps twenty min­ utes in all, but before I left he dashed my hopes, as far as newspaper enter­ prise is concerned, by saying quietly that he must follow the custom that is universal in Europe by requesting me to consider every word of the talk as ab- . „ ,ir*l. There was noth­ ing in it in the slightest degree verging on confidence, of course, and hot a word that could not with propriety be pub­ lished if it were considered of sufficient importance, but the charm of his man­ ner was so great, and his good nature and friendliness so manifest, that I felt that nothing on earth could ever tempt me to reveal what had been said. After a week's cogitation I came to the con­ clusion that nothing whatever had been said, and then my opinion of the diplo­ matic corps of Prince Bismarck ad­ vanced even more. -- Berlin Corre­ spondence. . , • • Warm Weather in Australia. The most remarkable feature of lihe Australian climate is the hot wind. The flat, sandy interior of the continent re­ sembles the deserts of North Africa and Arabia, and the winds therefore are very similar. Immense quantities of sand are drifted about by the wind and can ied beyond the coast a c«fS§|$derable distance out to sea. On Jan. 21, 1845, Capt. Sturt's thermometer rose to 131 degrees in the shade; the mean tem­ perature for December was 101 degrees, for January 104 degrees, and for Feb­ ruary 101 degrees. So parched was the ground that there were great cracks in it from eight to ten feet deep. At Cooper's Creek on Nov. 11, 1845, he ex­ perienced one of these hot-air currents, and thus describes it: "The wind, which had beep blowing all morning from northeast, increased to a gale, and I shall never forget its withering effects. I sought shelter behind a large gum tree, but the blasts of heat were so ter­ rific that I wondered the very grass did not take fire; everything, both animate and inanimate, gave way before it; the horses stood with their backs to the wind and their noses to the ground, the birds were mute, and the leaves of the trees fell like a shower around us. At noon I took out my thermometer, grad­ uated to 127 degrees, and put it in the fork of a tree, and an hour afterward, when I went to examine it, the tube was full of mercury and the bulb had burst; about sunset the wind shifted toj west, and a thundercloud passed over us, but only a few drops of rain fell." The bursting of the instrument shows that the temperature was much higher than 127 degrees, the glass being unable to resist the expansion of the mercury. Vegetation suffers greatly from the parching character of the wind. Plants droop, leaves shrivel as if frost-bitten, and wheat crops have been destroyed. Its intense dryness is shown by the rel­ ative humidity falling to zero, and evap­ oration amounting to an inch of water a day. High up in the mountains to the east and southeast, in the midst of a frosty morning, occasional hot blasts are felt from the interior, and they cause a peculiar irritation of the nostrils and throat. Although disagreeable as heated air and fatal to vegetation, this dry wind, like that of India, is healthy. The dry climate is practically free from miasmatic diseases.--The Cornhill Magazine. Winter Sunshine. The winter sitting-room should be chosen from the pleasantest in the house. This can be no other than that with a southerly and westerly outlook, No matter if other rooms are more showily decorated with paper, paint, and trimmings, we can do better, and there­ fore be happier here, with naught but the sun and our plants. C h o o s e w i n t e r b l o o m i n g p l a n t s those that I are ,well grown but have never budded* 'if possible. Ivies should be set remote from the glass, if in the windows at all; though they love best » shady corner and plenty of drink, as they are both modest my nature and feverish in temperament. Geraniums should be firmly potted in rich soil, and be given plenty of sun­ light. Until the plants are thickly set with many branches, do not neglect to nip off the last two leaves of each new branch as it attains a growth of three or four inches. Nothing is more disheart­ ening to a lover of flowers than to be shown a geranium that has sent up­ ward for two feet, perhaps, two, three, or four rank, transparent stalks, with a few light-liued, long-stemmed leaves up and down its length, and, perhaps, a sol­ itary cluster of buds at the spindled-out top, and to have its too easily satisfied cultivator introduce it gushingly, with "Do see how nice my plants are doing; aren't they tall ?" If a plant has a tendency to grow thriftily on one side and in a weakly way on the other, keep the sick side to­ ward the sun, and persistently cut back the branches on the other. Do not let the e*rth in the pots get either baked hard or dry and dusty; neibher err on the other side and keep them in a state resembling a mud-puddle. See how na­ ture waters her plants; a heavy rain, and then they are permitted to dry off occasionally. -• When the leaves of a plant soften and turn yellow it usually means, "You have given me so much water I am sick at my stomach. A baby could throw it off; I cannot, so I can only die." Heed this yellow moan and give that class of plants less water.-- Vick's Magazi ne. The Unpainted Indian. Of all misunderstood and misrepre­ sented people I consider the North American Indian the most so. By some he has been painted as an incarnate fiend; by others he has been represented as a sage and stoic, his mind stored with philosophy, in demeanor grave, taciturn, and delighted in solitude; his l>ody capa­ ble of great endurance, and his spirit sustained by unflinching courage. By such wresting, twisting, and misrepre­ sentation as would make a poem out, of the multiplication table, or an allegory out of a problem of Euclid, his childish fetishism has blossomed into a sublime theology. His myths, which are like the dreamings of insanity, are remodled to resemble legions of the lives of the saints, with a dash of the Arabian Nights. With a language of but little more than a hundred words he has be­ come the author of sublime poems, dealing with the abstract and complex. Even gentlemen of the Masonic friter- nity have discovered that he has antic­ ipated the signs and secrets of tiieir order. He is described as stoical, yet it it an everyday aflair to see a full grown bu ;k sit down, lift up his voice and weep ov ar the most trifling disappointment. He is called taciturn and loving soli­ tude, and yet he will chatter like a mag­ pie ; gossip is his principal business in life, and he will ride for miles to be the first to tell any news; while there are not sufficient inducements on this whirl­ ing globe to influence him to live soli­ tary for a single month. He is supposed to be naturally brave and physically strong, but he is not; nor does he pretend even to himaalf to be either.--Forest and Stream.

Www Hints Mid Other Things, We extract the following items from the last issue of the Arizona Kicker: MORE ENTERPRISE.--Three new faro banks and two saloons have been estab­ lished since our last issue, and we hear of several other new enterprises for the near future. The town is bound to grow. We don't claim that a faro bank will add to the population as quick as a rolling mill, but it is a far more livelier institution and doesn't occupy one-tenth the room. SQUARE TALK.--It may pay the New York Herald, Cincinnati Enqnirer, or St. Louis Democrat to beat around the bush and call a lump of sugar a grind­ stone, but the Kicker can't do business after that fashion. We are plump up and down, and never refer to a sap- headed demagogue as an eminent states­ man. This is why we called Maj. Tar- box a liar and a swindler in these col­ umns last week. Some of his friends think we ought to have drawn it milder, and contented ourself with remarking that he would enjoy better health in some other climate, but we didn't 866 ** in that light. PASSED OVER.--Old Jim Badlau was found dead in his bed last Sunday morning, and a coroner's jury returned a verdict of too much whisky. Old Jim and ourself were the only two men in town who didn't put on false whiskers every time the stage came in, and who dared to inquire for their own mail at the postoffice. We remember him- chiefly as the first man who got ahead of us in Arizona. We intended to strike him for the loan of a quarter, but he hit us first for the loan of a half. Poor old Jim! We are not going to guarantee that he is better off, but will wager two to one that he has found a shortage ol saloons in his new stamping ground.-- Detroit Free Press. EXPLANATORY.--Our agricultural ed­ itor was drunk for five days last week and it is no wonder we got things some­ what mixed. Where he said "tierces per acre" he meant bushels. Where he spoke of turnips weighing a ton apiece he meant a pound. He spoke of having seen a hill of catsup, trees loaded down with lobster salad and the season being backward for chow-chow. He was drunk when he traced the words, and in our hurry to get the forms to press we did not read his proofs. It is all right, however. The agriculture of this sec­ tion is so badly mixed that enough can not be said in its favor. We started the department in order to help out a ten­ derfoot who seemed to know all alxrat it, and so far as we can learn old Jose Bistri, a half-breed Mexican living over by Buckwheat Valley, is the only sub­ scriber who reads the column. It may do Jose good, but we doubt it in a pow­ erful manner. OCR JOLLY FRIENDS. -- When we erected the shanty which has ever since served us for an office, Italian marble, Milwaukee brick, and plate glass were way up in "G," and beyond our means. That's the reason we didn't put up a six-story temple and that's the reason we built of sods and boards. We traded our last undershirt for two half-window sashes, which contained six panes of glass each, and for some time these were the only sash on Park Row, and our bosom swelled with pride. Our bosom has, however, ceased to swell. Such friends of ours as do not care to go to the trouble of calling upon us in the daytime and punching our head for some real or fancied grievance, hang off until the office is closed and we have sought our couch. Then they rock our windows and canter away before we can bring our shotgun to bear. While we have saved enough rocks for the foundations of our new office, it has been hard on our windows. The last bit of sash went last night, and to-day we are all boarded up in front. Sorry to deprive the boys of their fun, but lie have to look out for the winter. almost to a skeleton. "Call in a physician?" "Yes, I went" twenty miles through the bush to see a doctor; he gave me some medicine, but it didn't help me much." "How was the cure effected?" "An old Scotch lady, who had come over from the States, pave me a preparation of balsams and herbs, which she said the early settlers in Amcrica used, and it soon stopped my cough and put me on my foet again.™ One has but to travel along the frontier to learn how easy it is to get. along without doctors, and how effective are the natural , remedies which the old grandmoMiers know how to prepare. They often euro where the best physicians fail. Every mother of a fanjilv knows how coughs and colds are quickly and radically cured with syrups and teas niude from bal­ sams and herbs which "grandmother taught us how to make." Warner's Log Cabin cough and consump­ tion remedy was, after long investigation into the merits and comparison with other old-time preparations, selected from them because proved to be tho verv best of thom all. It has brought back the'roses to many a pallid cheek--there is no known remedy its equal as a cure for coughs an J colds. Women's Belongings. It used to be, among the women of a past generation, a custom to leave their clothes by will in the same man­ ner that they did their "second best bed­ stead" and "silver gilt teapot." They divided their furs, laces, brocades, and "body linen" among their nearest kin and generally left the plainer and more worn things to the old family servants or poor relations. But these personal possessions, with the exception of laces, are rarely bequeathed nowadays. Mrs. John Jacob Astor kept to the old cus­ toms, and I saw a poor, pretty girl wearing one of her sealskin coats last week, it having been specially be­ queathed to her in the will. The usual course is that taken by the heirs of Mrs. A. T. Stewart, who sold all her enormous wardrobe to dealers in second-hand clothes. Though little was said about it at the time, a good many society women took oc­ casion to purchase certain things through the dealers, but generally handker­ chiefs, stockings, silk underwear, and gloves which would not be recognized and which they got very cheaply. There is a woman on Fifth avenue who makes a business of buying the wardrobes of dead women, and who is fast making a fortune out of the bargains she gets. Most of her customers who purchase goods from her have no idea of the real secrets of her trade. She is ostensibly a dealer in imported goods, and has cer­ tain French and English boxes and cases into which she packs many of her goods and sells them as new. She will take the whole wardrobe of the deceased, new and old, good and bad, and then this goes through a careful process of selection. The new things, or nearly so, which are really imported or have "that appearance, she packs into foreign cases and ties them up daintily and disposes of them to rich customers. Many a time ' a woman has come to her and said: "I want to find something--stockings, gloves, or what not--like some I once saw Mrs. Quelquecliose have. See if you can find them for me." And the dealer has in course of time sent her a note saying that she has found some­ thing very near what she has asked for. In reality they are Mrs. Quelquechose's own and the dealer had them all the while. The gowns that are new or very nearly new she sells to the dressmakers who freshen them up a bit and sell them to out-of-town customers. Then the dealer has a list of customers who are perfectly familiar with the real name of her trade. They are mostly women who are struggling to keep their places in society, with lean purses and a great desire to keep up appearances. -- Brooklyn Eagle. t 5 A Ridiculous Teaching. - A somewhat unpolished ra<lfc#%i# very charming daughter, was recently heard to say: I don't intend,lettin' Emily go back to Madam Waring's school.

"Why, man, it is fteven miles, there are four of us in this heavy boat--it's a big job you undertake," said one. "Mo matter. 1 have done the likes before and can do it again," cheerfully replied the broad-shouldered Irishman, as he stowed away the sail and bent to the oars. He was a splendid oarsman and the boat was soon under headway again. "What would I not give to enjoy your health and strength." remarked the Profes­ sor. "Yea. I am pretty healthy, and though I am past sixty I feel as strong as ever." re­ plied the guide. "But only three years ago I stood at death's door, and never thought to pull an oar again. You see.

My daughter Maud has used llibbnrd's Rheu­ matic Svrup and Plasters, which you so strongly recommended her to try for inflammatory rheuma­ tism. Her limbs were badly swollen, and the poor girl was in terrible agony. In the midst of the pain we wound the Plasters about her limbs, an3, as a result the swelling was reduced and she became quiet and rested. The syrup corrected her indiges­ tion, cleansed the rheumatic poison from her blood, und she is now able to he around the house. Hib­ bard's Rheumatic Syrup and Plasters are remedies of gTeat merit.
