The American Desert-Wild Men and
Wild Horses in Western Kansas.

The American DoSert-Wild Men and
Wild Horses in Western Kansas.
Large numbers Of wild horses abound on
the prairies between the Arkansas and Smoky
Hill Rivers. They are of all sizes and col
ors, and are the widest of all wild
animals. They usually roam in bands
from six to twenty, and will run at
sight of man two miles away. A great
many domestic horses, as well as mules,
which have strayed away ffom their owners,
have taken up with the wild ones. Alter
running with them for a while they become
as wild as their untamed companions. Va
rions methods have been adopted to catch
these aboriginal horses, but they have gen.
erally proved fruitless. A scrubby colt. or a
broken down mule, are, as general thing.
the only reward for all the time, labor. and
expense in such visionary schemes. Settlers
on the frontier would hail their speedy ex
tinction as blessing, for when domestic an
imals get with them their recovery is simply
out of the question.
Ever since the first emigrant turned his
footsteps toward the Pacific, this country
has been infested with a thoroughly organ
lied gang of highwaymen and horse-thieves,
and few have reached their destination with
out losing stock. They hover around emf
grant trains like vultures over a carcass.
waiting for favorable opportunity to pounce
upon their unsuspecting prey. 1 know of
one outfit, the ''Chicago Mining COMPANY. y
that left this place in the spring for Silver
City, that had nearly all their stock, some
seventy-five head, stolen before they got hall
way to their destination. The expedition
had to be abandoned, and most of the parties
returned, sadder but wiser men.
Seldom or never is horse-thief arrested
and it by some hocus pocus one is gobbled,
1t is simply impossible to convict him, as he
always has host of ''friends' ready and
anxious to prove his innocence. But their
day has come. The country is being settled
by class of people that will protect them
selves against these outlaws, and compel
them to seek other climes to carry on their
nefarious work.

con versation began to grow more and more
intei 'estlng, and with that fair young crea-
ture's head on our shoulder we'd have set
out to usie to Vermont and back without a
stop. Size was so artless and innocent-so
childlike aud confding. She told all about
how her step-haotner pounded her with the

she sometimes thonght she'd get married to

about to lay our hand on our heart and ofser
to be hers forever, when the sleigh stopped at
the school house.
Then came the spelliug down. IL was

master in favor of Bungtown. Such words
as ''catarrh, "turkey," parallel" etc., soon
reduced the ''sides" to half dozen. and AT

that Bungtown should win, and it did when

sympathy, and she said of course there was
two SIS on an omnibus, one on each side.
and she wasn't positive but that there was
one on the door behind.
By-and-by the conversation went back to
step-mothers, rolling-pins, alabaster shoulders
and getting married, and she said she'd be
ours. We fgnred up how we could keep
house on $3.50 per week and have a dollar

T SELDOM if ever, pick up newspaper without

Very many causes are assigned for this loss OF life

be done and what should not be done. But scarce

an accumulation of Scale in the Boiler and yet eight
out of ten instanc that occur in our midst
doubtedly due to this cause.
Now permit me to say that manufacture a Com
position that will readily and thoroughly remove this
fncrustation; and while am constantly sending it

claims make for it,.

no matter how deep may be the ircrusation, and at
tbe same time it will prevent injury to the Boiler
