THE COWBOY'S TICKETS.
TH?y W?r? Good en th? Train, but
Only Per a LittU Whil*.
i A bunch of old time traveling men
were visiting at a Topeka hotel, and
talk turned on to courageous conduc
tors "I hare known.-*
A story was told oa John Becker,
for years a conductor on the Santa
FV He was practically awarded the
palm for being the bravest "con" who
ever set foot on a through Kansas
train In the old and perilous days.
One day. Just after the Santa Fe
: train had left Dodge City. Becker pass
ed through the car to take up the
pasteboanla. Two cowboys bad board
ed the train at Dodge, and Becker
went up to them and said. "Tickets,
pleas?."
For an answer the cowboys whipped
out big revolver*? the Colt's blue steel
brand. 44 caliber? and replied:
! "Here they are!"
"They're good." said Becker quickly.
? with a deprecatory ware of his hand,
and he passed on through the car.
The cowboys chucked their "irons"
back Into tl>elr holsters and settled
back comfortably, thinking that the
train was theirs.
Becker walked on back to his little
wardrobe at tbe front end of the next
car and. unlocking It took out a
sawed off double barreled shotgun
loaded with sings tie cocked both
hammers? for it was before the bam
merless automatic days? and, getting
tbe gun properly placed la front of
him. he marched back Into tbe car
where the cowboys were.
He stepped briskly In front of them
and shored the big gun into their
face*, holding It at such an angle that
a shot would have swept off the beads
of both.
Then he said again, gently. "Tour
tickets, please."
The bands of the cowboys twitched
convulsively toward their pockets, and
Becker Interjected. "Give me those
tickets, please, that hare handles and
shore 'em at me with the handles to
ward me? toward me. understand T he
added, bearing down hard with the
emphasis on "me."
The tickets came across with the
handles In the requested direction.
"Now. dig up tbe coin." he demand
ed. "to the next station where we
stop."
They dug.
"Now. at the next station you fel
lows unload. Understand?" The saw
ed off was still at a dangerous location
and the hammers still up.
The cowboys nodded rigorously In
tbe affirmative. and they unloaded
quickly and without words at tbe next
stop.
Becker made no fuss over the mat
ter; didn't talk about It at all. He Just
accepted it as part of the day's busi
ness and seemed to see nothing In It
that was extraordinary.? Kansas City
Journal.
Llf* Ring* on Mountains.
An extraordinary example of the
way in which a mountain may afford
on a small scale an image of tbe
earth's climates, arranged In succes
sively higher circles, has been found
in the San Francisco peaks. These
ancient volcanoes rise out of a plateau
having a mean elevation of 7.000 feet
above sea level.
Tbe peaks are encircled with coneti
of vegetation which run almost like
contour lines around them. Between
(V500 and 8.300 feet the yellow pine Is
the dominant tree. From S.B00 to
10,300 feet tbe Douglas fir. the silver
flr. the cork flr and Uie aspen share
the available ground. Between 10,300
and 11,800 feet the Engelmann spruce
and the foxtail pine take possession
and ascend to tbe tree limit? Scientific
American.
Misleading Book Title*.
Some book titles are distinctly mis
leading. Raskin's "On the Construc
tion of Sheepfolds" la a famous exam
ple of these, and there are others. Mr.
Henry James' novel "The Lesson of
the Master" has more than once been
catalogued as a religious work. The
same fate befell Sir Edward Hamil
ton's "Conversion and Redemption." a
highly technical stud)' of schemes for
the reduction of tho national debt.
"Dlsloyala: or. The Doubtful Priest,"
was the title originally selected by
Shorthouse for the book we now know
as "John Inglesant" It was pointed
out to him that such a title would
lead people to regard It as an attack
on Roman Catholicism, and this in
duced him to change it? London
How an Ottrich Showa Temper.
When annoyed or angered by the ap
proach of a human being, says a writ
er In the Strand Magazine. the male
ostrich slightly arches his neck, and,
drawing In a big breath, he blows out
his neck and Issues a three note de
fiance ("bo-bo bo-o-ti"). It Is In the
tast prolonged note that his neck
swells out so abnormally. The hen
bird never "drums," as the natives
term It though 1 have heard of one
that tried very hard to ape the male,
but the result was ghastly failure.
Hia Achievement*.
"After I am gone," he complained,
"people will begin to notice what I
have done."
"Well." his wife sadly replied, "If
they do it won't take them long."?

"Three jrrars atro this winter I had a
breaking out that covered my whole body.
I It itched so it seemed as if I should go crazy, j
It flrct came out in MtU*
pimples on my back and
spread till It covered my

it made sores, and the

1 Then I concluded to try
the Cuticura Remedks. I used the Cuticura
Soap .\nd Cuticura Ointment, also thr Resol- !
vent, for about four months, and they
completely cured me of eciema. I have had :
no return of the disease since. I never bad
a good night's rest after the skin eruption
first broke out till I commenced using the :
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I lia<l only !
used them a few days before I could see ;
they were beginning to heal, and the terrible
Itching was gone.
"Those that lived In the house at the time
know how I suffered, and how the Cuticura
floap and Ointment cured me. I never take
a bath without using the Cuticura Soap, and
I do not believe there are better remedies
for any skin dlsea.se than the Cuticura Snap
and Ointment." (Signed) Miss Sarah Calkins,
