Buffalo Horn.

This Indian, who gives promise of
being a very disagreeablo customer,
was with Gen. Crook in his campaigns
against the Snakes, and has a written
discharge signed by that officer, stat
ing that Buffalo Horn had rendered
valuable service to the government,
and is a reliable, honest and trust
worthy Indian, and as such entitled
to great consideration. Last year,
against the Nez Perces, he was very
active and performed many feats Of
bravery, for which he was compli-
mented by Col. Sumner, under whom
he was serving. Officers who have
seen him under fire speak of him as a
very brave, cool-headed man. In this
connection it is suggested that the
authorities recruit a number Of Nez
Perces and send them into the field
against the Banuock's for whom they
have no love. The idea is Il good
one, and we trust it will be promptly
acted upon.-lj'MG II-0ia Statesman.

The accession OF Cardinal Pecci to the
Pontiicats as Leo XIII. has called up
among our Catholic exchanges some
"reminiscences of his predecessors of that
name, from which it appears that five
Leos have been canonlzed, namely:
Leo l ., surnamed the Great, who reigned
from 440 to 46l. He saved Rome from
Attila and imposed conditions on the
conquering Vandals. He was native
OF Tuscany and was the forty-sixth sue
cessor of st. Peter. Leo II. was a ST.
Gillian, and ruled less than year, in 6S2.
Leo III. was Roman who reigned from
795 to SIG, and was canonized. He
crowned the Emperor Charlemagne and
founded some of the finest churches in
Rome He was the ninety. ninth Pope.
Leo ~ was the l06th occupant OF st.
Peters chair; born at Rome, reigned from
SAT to 855 and entered into sainthood.
He routed the Saracens in A. D. $40 and
captured booty enough to rebuild the
walls of the city. Leo V. and vi. had
very brief reigns, the former less than
two months and the latter less than a
year Leo the VII. held the office of
Supreme Pontff for three and half
years. He was the 130th Pope. Leo
VIII was an snti-Pope for two years
and died in 965. Leo the TX. was ma
tive of Germany and was the fifth of the
name who was canonized. He reigned
from 1919 to 1854 Lso X. was Flor.
entine, son of Lorenzo de Medici, who
ruled as Pope eight years. from 1913 to
1921. He WAS a remarkable man, and
won renown by his encouragement to
literature and art His name is associ-
ated with Michael Angelo and Raphael,
and he made great efforts to complete
St. Peters. He distinguished himself
also by efforts to stop brigandage, to i'm
prove the charitable institutions of Italy
and to give Rome an efficient police.
Nevertheless his administration increased
the abuses and license that prepared the
way for Luther and his reformation.
Leo XII. did not live to enjoy the honors
and emoluments of the office. He died
twenty-seven days after his accession.
He was a Florentine. and was elected
Pope in 1906. The last Leo XII, was a
native of Spoleto, and reigned from 1923
to 1829-6ve years, four months and
thirteen days-so that only two OF the
Leos of the Church held the Pontificate
for any reasonable length of time. These
were the second and third, who reigned
twenty one years each. After the long
life and reign of Plus TX. ordinary
periods OF five and ten years will appear
brief

HE THOUGHT HE HAD 'EI

II was evident he had been ON a long
and arduous spree. His face was red,
bis eyes were bleary, and his hands
shook. He stepped unsteadily from the
pavement into Union line car The
seats were occupied by ladies who were
out shopping, and he had to stand. He
clung to a strap, and tried hard to as
sumo u calm, dignified manner, but bis
nerves were unstrung. and his assumed
stiffness became limberness whenever
the car stopped, started or turned cor
ner. Yet he seemed to be satisfied that
he impressed the ladies as sober, self
possessed man, whereas his pitiable con-
dition was apparent to all.
His eyes fell on one of the panels over
tho window, where the advertisement of
an express company was framed, with a
horses head SO hung in a central open
ing that it moved with every jog OF the
car. He did not know that such figures
are new device in hOrss-car advertising.
He started, with widely-opened eyes, at
the nodding head of the beast and then
resolutely turned away, determined that
the ladies' should not be made aware of
what he thought was slight touch Of
delirium tremens. In another panel was
a tailor's advertisement, and he began to
read it, hoping to divert his mind from
the queer fancy about the horse. He
perused the first printed line, which led
his eyes along picture OF shoemaker
seated on bench at work. Suddenly,
as the car ran over a stone, the man in
the picture moved bis arms, as though
sewing the boot in his lap, and nodded
his head violently. The drunkard in
voluntarily calculated: "Ah-ah J. and
stared in horror. The ladies regarded
him wonderingly.
A stretch of smooth track made the
figure quiet, and the perturbed passen-
ger. with a strong effort, regained his
composure. He took firmer grip of
the strap, pulled himself up into very
upright attitude, and coughed violently,
so as to make the ladies think that his
calculations had been caused by some
thing wrong in his throat. The color of
his face, which had deepened to purple,
was slowly turning to scarlet, when he
saw placard of q mustard manufacturer,
bearing the trade.mark-a COW. The
car joited, and the cows head and tail
swayed gently and naturally. The sight
doubtless destroyed the drunkard's last
lingering doubt, for he cried: 1--we got
emf and started for the door. Cast
ing his eyes at the pictures, he saw thai
the shoemaker was sewing faster thar
before, and the horse was nodding Will
renewed vigor, the COW was shaking he
head and tail with vicious energy, ant
even the mouth of dog in another pane
was rapidly opening and shutting. "Yes
I've got 'em sure, he said. as he brushed
past the conductor and jumped from tn
car Philadelphia Times.

THE YOUNG HEIR.

She had invited him to stop to supper,
and he was trying to appear easy and
unconcerned, while she was on her pref
tiest behavior.
Have you used the sugar, John?"
inquired the mother, in a winning man
ner.
John don't want no sugar." ejacu-
lated the young heir, abruptly.
"Why not 2" inquired the father,
curiously, while John in his surprise.
swallowed bit of toasted crust, and
nearly cut his throat open.
"Cos he DON'T explained the heir,
in an artful manner, II heard him tell
Mary last night"
"You keep still. interrupted Mary,
in hysterical mepner. while the young
man caught his Heath in dismay.
II heard him say" persisted the heir,
with dreadful eagerness, THAT she was
80 sweet he wouldn't never use no more
sugar any more An he kissed her, an
said I'll tell. an"

room by his ear. and the supper finished

SAN ANTONIO, (Iexas), April l4.-lo-
day "Old George" an African liQn, was
pitted against the bull that vanquished
| Iioness a week ago. As soon as in the
cage. the bull bounded toward the lion.
Catching him under the belly, he threw
him and pinned him to the ground. The
bull made second charge, again pinning
the lion firmly to the ground. The final
assault was terrific. He gored the lion,
and then with toss sent him whirling
through the air. The managers then
put the lioness in. She fought shy, but
the bull rushed around the arena, tail up
and head down, chasing the two huge
lions. tossing one after another over his
head or trampling them under foot. At
times the bull seemed to be standing on
his head on the bodies of the PROSTATE
animals, which filled the air with their
roaring. 1t was evident that the lions
stood no chance. The lion had several
deep wounds, while the lioness, too fleet
to allow the bull to pin her to the ground,
fled to the cage. The bull was finally
lassoed. He is one of the most extraor.
dinary fighters ever seen.

STARVING MANS FEAST,

A STARVING MANS FEAsT.-A man
named Paquette was engaged in one OF
the Upper Ottowa shanties as cook, but,
neglecting his personal appearance. the
men insisted upon his being discharged.
He left the shanty after having supplied
himself with sufficient provisions to last
him until he reached the first farm
houses. On his second day out blind
ing snow storm came on, and he lost his
way. At the end of the third day his
provision bag gave out, and he had not
the slightest idea of his whereabouts.
He walked on, however, in the hope of
reaching some welcome goal. On the
seventh day he had grown so weak that
he was unable to walk any further. He
laid himself down on snowbank, and
made up his mind that there he had to
perish. He had been there but few
minutes when horse and cutter came
in view, and he had barely sufficient
strength left to hail the driver. He suc-
ceeded, however. in the end, and it
turned out to be priest to whom he
told his story. The reverend gentleman
drove him to the parsonage, and gave
the half starved man something to eat.
He left him alone at the table while he
went outside to look at his horse, and
when he returned found Paquette lying
on the floor writhing in agony. Before
medical aid could be summoned the un
fortunate man had expired, On an ex
animation being made, it was founc
death was caused by excessive eating. -

AN ADVENTURE WITH Wolves. Three
little girls, from six to eight years of age,
up at Manville, on the Wisconsin Central
Railroad, says a special from Neenah,
Wisconsin, wandered into the woods last
week and got lost. Night came on, and
the little ones finally, at about midnight,
came to haystack in a clearing They
pulled out some of the hay and made a
hole big enough to crawl into. when, to
their horror, several large wolves came
bowling about them and swapping their
hungry jaws in anticipation of the hu-
man feast before them. The children
cried and screamed in their terror as the
wolves came nearer and nearer. Finally
the oldest of the children. while on her
knees praying for herself and little sisters,
happened to remember reading that fire
would frighten away wild animals, and
remembered also that she had few
matches in her pocket. In moment she
pushed the children out from the stack
and set fire to the dry hay. The effect
was magical. In instant the flames shot
skyward, the wolves ran off in rage OF
disappointment, and, soon after, as the
children were warming the chilled blood
in their veins, their parents and friends
came up to the rescue, attracted thithei
by the light from the burning haystack

In some parts of China crickets are as
regularly trained for combat as English
pugilists, the method being as follows:
Tho crickets when captured are kept
slngly in earthenware pots, at the bot
tom of which is a small quantity of fine
mold, and very small cup containing a
few drops OF water for the insects to
drink out of and bathe in. Their food
consists of two kinds of fish, called man
yu and kut.yu. Insects called loo-kum.
chung tun-tsit- chung, and pin-tam- chung
are occasionally given to them. They
get honey to strengthen them, and other
and boiled rice. For two hours every
night a fsmale cricket is placed in the
pot with the male. Smoke is supposed
to be injurious to their health, and the
rooms in which they are kept must be
perfectly free from it. A charm or mys-
tic scroll to avert evil influences is some
times placed on the cricket's pot. If
they are sick from overeating, red insects
called hun-chung are given them. If
the sickness arises from cold, they get
mosquitoes; if from heat, shoots Of the
green-pea plant. Chuk-tip, or bamboo
butterflies, are given for difficulty in
breathing. At the cricket-pit which the
Chinese call Lip, the insects are matched
according to size, weight, and color. The
stakes are IN some cases very large. l,
Is, however. generally supposed by the
Government that they consist of presents
Of sweet cakes. A cricket which wins
many victories is called Shan-lip, or con.
quering cricket. and when it dies it il
placed in small silver coffin and buried
Orickets which display great fighting
powers are not unfrequently seld fol
