SKATING FOR LIFE.-A story is told OF
man who came upon pack of hungry
wolves while skating in the Northwest.
He threw aside his gun and overcoat and
whizzed away for dear life. 1t soon be-
came apparent that he could not hope to
get such clear as to put ON top speed.
and so leave them behind but he was a
practiced skater--a dab" at the fahcy
work acquired at the rinks, where people
skate for pastime, and learn to be elegant
and swan-like. His outer edge and figure
skating saved him. On came the wolves
full pelt, their hot breath reaching him
just as he put on desperate spurt, when
whish he flew round in beautiful circle.
and the shaggy wretches, carried on by
their own tremendous impetus were
long way in front, while he went gliding
off in contrary direction. Over and
over again did he practice this manpuvre
in similar circles till the wolves them
selves, baffled, and in their rage swapping
and biting at each other, began to flag.
and to think that after all they were in
chase of the shadow of a man-a hungry
dream of human flesh. Round and round
went the skates, still with a cool head and
fist, working nearer and nearer
home, until at last the pursuers gave up,
and with a howl of disappointment fled
into the thickets.

4 Big Idea.

l have a plan which, if adopted by tn,
stock growers of this territory, will dc
entirely away with the present laborious
and demoralizing method of herdinl
stock, and also utilize piece of real es
tate that has laid in the market for years
without bidder, on account of its be
ing "put up" so high at the start NY
idea is this Let all stock men in the
territory unite in raising fund for the
erection of a suitable building on the top
of Pixies peak, having it connected with
the surrounding country by telegraph
wire; then supply it with provisions
etc, sufficient to last one person at least
six months. In the early part of the
winter, man keenly alive to the charms
of solitude, n rejected lover might do,
and provided with telescope, should be
sent up there, with orders TO kick away
the ladder as soon as he reached the top.
He should be known as the general
cattle gazer and herder-in-chie of Col.
orado.
Now, for the results A heavy storm
comes on, and the herds are badly scat
tered. Brown telegraphs up: "My cat

in great haste, directing the servan,
where he should go. The doctor came,
but found his services unnecessary and
his call hoax. So far it wss all very
well, but the servant recognised the call
er, and the next dav the doctor called
on him and asked him whether he would
rather pay twenty dollars or be arrested.
He said he thought so, too, and paid the
twenty dollars.

the Chicago Relief and Aid Society has
now abundant resources to meet all the

on a scsnty supply OF food and shelter,

A Body Guard.

1t does seem that in civilized, we'll

down, the pitcher broken, and the two
cents taken from him, and no arrests
were made /; and this too, at o'clock M
the morning.
