TIE FARmER's WOOING.


The daisies nodded IN the grass, the butter
cups were sleeping,
And Just across the river sang the Farmers at
their reaping;
Upon the hills, 20 blue ana lar, the maple
leaves were showing
Their soft white beauties in the breeze that
from the sea was blowing.
A little maid came through the land with
som, and ripping laughter;
The huttercnps made way for her, the dai-
sizes nodded after.
A strong young farmer saw herDause beside
the parting river:
She drew "A lily from its depths with golden

And threw q poppy rs the stream toward the

Where arches crossed above their heads,
With snowy blossoms laden,

driving she was engaged and joined the
company.
As is generally known, hippodrome
racing Is dangerous amusement, and,
while there is great excitement in watch
ing these chariots Of crimson and gold,
drawn by four spirited steeds, and
driven by young women standing erect
and urging them on with voice and whip,
more than once spectators, when thrilled
with interest at the contest, have heard
a dreadful crash, seen the horses roll
over in the dirt, and plunge about in
mad confusion, listened to oaths and wild
screams, and watched the form of a
woman extricated and carried off.
These fearful acciucnIs usually result
from the wild state of excitement into
which both horses and drivers get when
entered for a race and striving for the
prize which is usually offered. Know
ing their risk, it is with difficulty that
women of sufficient nerve and physical
trength can be found to drive, and
when they are they command high
wages. When, then, this young girl,
who was known in the ring as Mdlle.
Louise, offered her services, it was with
surprise that they saw the courage and
skill with which she handled the crib
bons. ''.-..-.-.---..-.
Night after night she went through
her part triumpfantly. and grew to be
a great favorite with the public, especi-
ally as she frequently came out ahead,
the horses understanding her so perfectly
that they obeyed every infection of her
voice.
On certain memorable evening there
was present among the spectators
prominent young lawyer of this city, a
man Of good looks, bearing. and means,
and who at that time was conducting
a lawsuit of the company, which led
him frequently to the office Of the bust
ness manager, which was in the build
ing. On this occasion the two were
chatting together when Mdlle. Louise
entered. The lawyer remarked upon
her good looks. q Yes, y said the mana
ger, "but she is more than good-lOok-
ing. She is thoroughly good, and lives
like nun. There has never been one
word of scandal connected with her
name. She gets more flowers and love
letters than any other woman in the
company; but she never takes any no
tice of either and won't even take them |
home with her,
"Where does she come from?" asked |
the lawyer.
"That is more than any one has found |

Death of shree Horses.


There was something singular in the
misfortune that befell all three of the
horses that entered the free-for-aIl race at
Sioux City on the Fourth. The entries
were Eureka, Country Boy and Willmore,
the latter owned by H. H. Colby, of Fort
Dodge. The day there was very hot,
oppressive and sultry, and the drivers
did great deal of scoring before they
were sent off. Willmore broke badly,
and fell so far behind that the distance
flag fell in his face. The trot was unfin-
ished, and was postponed to Saturday.
But Friday evening Willmore died, and
the next day both of the others died.
Bad luck for Colby. This is the second
fleet horse e'has lost within year, the
other being Bay Billy, the Hampton
horse. His losses foot up about $4,000.

Col. John S. Mosby, Consul at Hong

mile and quarter every 60 seconds.
The cold General seemed to have an
impression that affairs were nearing a
climax, for despairing sqneal was heard
as the basket again started up. One
minute, two minutes, three minutes, and
the basket was whirling around fully
seven hundred times TO the minute! A
steady hum instead of the surgings indi-
Gated the high speed! Then the belt was
thrown off and the brake applied. When
the machine stopped the cold General
was no more; but his was painless
death, without the agony and distress
usually dealt out to vermin.

A recent frst-class, simon-pure, brass
mounted "interview" with Sitting Bull
included the testimony of that warrior
priest and younger braves who saw Gus
ter in his last tragic moments, and iden-
tilted him by his "long golden hair" his
flowing locks" etc. If Sitting Bull had
been in communication with the Seventh
Cavalry barber he might have learned
that Gen. Custer sacrificed his flowing
locks before he went to the Indian coun-
try, and that at the battle of the Little
Big Horn his hair was clipped tight to
his scalp. But this probably does not
diminish the truthfulness OF the "inter-

that the latter's two kittens be drowned,
whereupon the animals suddenly disap-

a mouse into the kitchen and laid it at
her mistress feet. "Now, puss," said the
woman, eff you'll take that mouse out of
the way and will keep your kittens from

the mouse, went to hole under the barn
and soon came toward the house, the two
