**************************
A friend of mine has a house full
of children. They are bright eyed and
happy light, hearted youngsters. One
of them a chubby, brown haired ana
black eyed little fellow Is a great
sleeper. He can’t keep up the merry
pace his brothers and sisters lead
him. Early in the morning the romp
ing begins. When I passed a night
at this friend’s house almost as soon
as the rays of the morning sun shot
athwart of the Big Horns,, a childish
voice would ring out “Bob, it’s day
light,” And then this is how the morn
ing really came in that happy home;
This is how the morning comes to
that house of love come true: First,
a murmur and a sigh, then a gurgle
and a coo. Two bare kicking legs in
air, then a burst of laughter sweet,
then across the room it comes—morn
ing on two baby feet.
This is how the bright day goes at
that house of little lips: First a nod
and then a yawn—then then two black
eyes in eclipse. Twilight in the Basin
land, babies where the shadows creep
guarded by an unseen hand through
the golden hours of sleep.
Guard them Angels, while they rest
in that home so sweetly blest—what
i 9 place and w’hat is gold if the home
be bare and cold—barren of babe, be
rest of love —teach us to love them,
Oh! God above.
f
Children are sympathetic, little
souls. Their sentiment is so genuine.
No guile about it. It comes straight
from a pure loving heart, and for this
reason comes with .appealing force.
A pretty story has it origin in the
childish interest that Rachel Waples.
a cute, little girl, manifested in a
young married woman of whom Rach
el is very fond of and visits often.
The friendship between the two is
mutual. One evening, the tiny maid
called upon her married friend ana
this conversation ensued.
Rachael: “You don’t seem so lively
tonight.”
Married Lady: “No, Rachel. I am a
little loneiy to-night—l was Just wish
ing before you came in that I, too. had
a pretty little girl like you.”
Rachel: “I am sorry you have not—
have you ever tried praying to Goa
for a little girl? You do that tonight
—and I’ll ask my papa, cause he’*
helped many a time, to help God to
bring one.’”
The eyes o che young married wo
man filled with tears. Her latent
mother love had been quickened to its
very depths. Surely a little child 3hall
lead them. ,

If only a portion of the stories ac
credited to Prosecuting Attorney Walls
were published they would fill quite
a volume and they are not related to
the tree under which the villiage
blacksmith stood —not by any means.
When the bond issue for the court
house was the all absorbing topic the
big mass meeting will be recalled.
Mr. Walls was chairman.
A gentleman arose and said: “Mr.
Chairman, there is a man in this hall
from Powell whom we would like to
hear. He Is in favor of the bond
issue.”
Walls was standing. He walked a
foot or two in his restless manner,
head down in apparent oblivion to the
remarks addressed to him. Suddenly
he whirled. Hi 3 well kept Van Dyke
at an aggressive angle of forty-five
degrees and he said: “A gentleman
from Powell in this hall in favor oi
the bonds”—and his voice slid off In
a shrill cresendo tone.
"This is indeed” he continued, “a
rara avis. Since I come to analyze
the proposition,” and this was said in
a tone like unto when a man thrusts
a rapier straight through a man's
heart, “he is more than a rara avia.
He is as rare as a virgin in a harem.’
The gale of laughter which went up
lasted for several minutes, finally
dying out in a series of chuckles like
ripping old tin from a roof.
The gentleman from Powell novel
did speak that night.

The call of the Rockies took Mrs.

ESSER’S SUCCESS.
In a few short weeks sinco John
Esser, the hustling young man pur
chased the Palace Meat Market from
| Mr. Edlcman, who has evinced
j business qualities and energy
that is not only keeping up tho repu
tation of his shop but winning new
patronage. He is doing this latter by
his reasonable prices and the excel
lence of his dressed meats. His spec
ial meat prices on Saturday are pprov-

$40.80, Does farming pay in Big Horn
county?
From force of habit, the farmers an l
ranchers of Big Horn county are still
looking to railroad points as the base
from which they secure their yearly
supplies. By stopping at Cody City
they will find H. P. Arnold with nn
immense stock of goods, ready to
quote prices which are surprising. It
is refreshing to know that from 60 tj
110 miles of wagon transportation
can be saved and prices equal to
those at any other point can be had
by trading at home.

Mr. Jerry Ryan has rompletel his
stone dwelling, and is erecting, of a
like material, a large store building

It is notorious that a seventy-five
mile drive for a horse in this climate
is not considered extraordinary. an( l
that spavin or ring bone is unknown.
Mr. Frank I. Rue, proprietor of the
Talmage Club and Tonsorial Palace
tent, proved a valuable pressman in
running off this edition.
Our friends in the East may wonder
when told that bathing in the Hot
Springs by moonlight in the open air
at this time of year, is of nightly oc
currence. Such in tho fact.
Little Earl Houx, fifteen years of
age, showed a Benny. Franklin form

001. D. H. Elliot says: “Your

Major Burke has at times been at i
the Company Hotel, and for days
stopped at Edick’s at the Sulphur j
Springs and enjoyed the waterc great- j
ly. He will be hereafter a loyal ad- j
vocate of their value. The Springs!
have had many patrons during the
weeks past—the weather in the can
yon being delightful.
In discussing the other day regard
ing manufactories in this Valley, Maj
or Burke offered the following very
sensible argument: “Why not? You
have the water supply—you have the i
raw material here—you have the *vooi j
—the hides, the oil. natural gas, the
wator power furnir.hed by collosal rea-!
orvoiro surpassing any that the hand
of man hir, capital could build or so
nicely control or graduate, In your
surrounding mountains that retain
that supply in the condensed form of
snow, furnishing it all the year round
and through the summers increasing
the volume at the season when most
needed. ‘Truth concisely expressed.'
Let us see our forests are not too I
ruthlessly denuded.
TIMELY HOME HINTB.
To remove wagon grease, tar, etc.,
on any cotton wash goods, grease the
spot well with lard or other soft
grease, rub in well and soap thorough
ly until loosened up and then wash
out Gasoline or turpentine will gen
erally remove pitch and similar sub
stances and the former is especially
good to remove spots in any fabric. 1
The greatest care must be taken while
useing gasoline not to get near fire or \
burning lamp. Kerosene is good foi j
most ot these things, and always han-,
dy. but Is likely to take out som»* j
colors, though others it does not seem
to affect.
Saws, axes, hatchets spades, hoe*,
plowrs and all such farm tools can be ,
easily engraved and thus many times !
loss may be avoided. Clean off a place j
where It desired to make the engrav- (
ing and coat with a mixture of melted !
beeswax and tallow. Scratch the |
name, initials or number desired |
through the wax with an awl or any |
sharp-pointed instrument. Then pour
a few drops of nitric acid over the
characters thus made and in a few
minutes peel off the wax. The letter- 1
ing will appear on the metal. The
melted wax and tallow will prevent
the acid from reaching the metal ex
cept where it is wanted.
A cheap and reliable fly poison
which is not dangerous to human life
is blchromato of potash in solution.
Dicnolve one dram, which may be
bought at any drug store, in two
ounces of water; add a little sugar
and place about the house in shallow
dishes. To clear rooms of flics use
carbolic acid, heating a shovel and
I>ouring on it twenty drops of the poi
son. The vapor will kill the files.
Another method: Burn pyrenthrum
powder in the room. The flies win
fall to the floor stupefied and may be
swept up and burned. The powder
should be moistened and moulded Into
cones and after drying each cone
should be placed upon a dish and
lighted. It will burn slowly and the
odor is no disagreeable.
LANDER AND SALT CREEK OIL
FIELDS.
The geological survey has just if.
sued a bulletin on the lender and Salt.
Creek oil fields, covering the formation
and technical features of thoce two
Wyoming districts. The technical
natter is very complete, as is the his
tory of the development of both dis
tricts. The bulletin is based on Infor
-1 nation secured in the summer of 1909,
:md does not bring the Industry down
to date In tho matter of more recent
operation h along the line of marketing
and handling the product.
Copies of the bulletin may be had
by addressing any member of the Wyo
delegation.
