A Sled-Ride Behind a Train.

One of our townsmen who was up
north a short time since tells a pretty
good story of a Joke on conductor in
the employ of the Utica & Black river
railroad company. The conductor runs
a passenger train. 1t seems that young
fellow residing near Lowville has quite
a local reputation as dance artist, and
he travels about the country consider.
ably and dances ut entertainments for
|. the amusement of the people. He is
noted for genial manners, and the, boys
attempt to run upon him " on account
of his good nature. A short time since
the young man referred to had occasion
to travel from one station to another. n
distance of about two miles, and he con-
ceived the idea that it would be easier
to ride than to walk. He had no money,
so he resolved to beg ride. The CON
ductor promptly refused to carry him
free, but the fellow insisted that he
ought to ride free. The conductor in
sisted that lie should not, and the fellow
offered TO bet that he would get free
ride to his place of destination. He had
a hand-sled with him, and when the
train was about to start he went to the
rear of the train and hitched on. Away
went the train dragging the sleigh with
the boy firmly seated thereon. Train
hands and passengers looked on in as
tonishment. The conductor went to
the rear platform and asked the venture
some fellow for his ticket. The boy
laughed at him and hung on. The con-
| ductor resolved to give him shaking
up, so heordered the engineer to put on
extra steam. The train fairly flew.
The sled scarcely touched the snow, so
great was the speed of the train. It
|remained right side up all the time, how
ever. and the deadhead passenger hung
on like grim death. The upshot of the
matter was that the dance artist reached
| his destination in safety, and joked the
conductor numerically. 1t is supposed
the latter bought the cigars for the
crowd. The boy, by his recklessness

train any time he likes.-Ronae (N. ~

The Duty of Husbands.

The first duty of husbands is TO SYM
pathize with their wives in all their
cares and labors. Men are apt to for
get, in the perplexities and annoyances
OF business, that home cares are also
annoying, and try the patience and
strength of their wives. They come
home. expecting sympathy and atten-
tlon, but are too apt to have none to
give. A single kindly word or look
that tells his thought of her and her
troubles, would lift the weight of care
from her heart. Secondly, husbands
should make confidants of their wives,
consulting them on their plans and pros
poets, and especially on their troubles
and mbarrassments. A woman's in
tuition is often better than all his wis.
dom and snrewdness; and all her ready
sympathy and interest is a powerful aid
to his efforts for their mutual welfare
Thirdly, men should show their love for
their wives in constant attention I'm
their manner of treating them and in
the thousand and one trifling offices Of
affection which may be hardly notice.
able, but which make all the difference
between a life of sad and underlined
longing, and CHEEKY, happy existence.
Above all, men should beware OF treat
ing their wives with rIdeness and in
civility, as if they were the only per-
sons not entitled to their consideration
and respect. They should think of their
sensitive feelings, and their need OF
sympathy, and never let the fire of love
go out, or cease to show that the flame
is burning with unabated fervor.

Mustangs in Texas Thirty Years Ago,

The word mustang is corruption Of
mesteno, the Mexican name for wild
horse. Many years ago there Were
thousands, no doubt Millions, of these
animals in Texas In lS49, and for sew.
eral years thereafter, they were numer-
Gus in the region between the Nucces
river and the Rio Grande. They were
found further north, but not in such
numbers. Immense herds of wild
horses could be seen grazing on the
irliries. When they saw anyone ap-
proaching the leader would often move
10 the front and make reconnaissance.
IT things did not suit him he would give
his head a peculiar toss, wheel and
sound the note Gf alarm. These demon
strations would be followed by prompt
movement on the part of the herd,
sometimes to the front, but more usu-
ally to the rear. They would wheel
into line, change front, move in line or
in column with a5 much precision and
order as cavalry. 1t was wonderful TO
witness how well they were drilled and
disciplined. In the event n retreat was
ordered the leader would move in the
rear for while. Ifany Jagged or strag-
gled they were very apt to feel his teeth,
If not his heels. On some occasions a
was a change in line or in column,
proudly headed by the leader. This
was the case sometimes when mounted
men were in sight. The Texas rangers
operating in that country were followed
by pack-mules in charge of n guard. 1t
was necessary at times to form hollow
square, place the mules inside, and to
throw out skirmishers to fire into the
animals. If the leaders could be struck
the charge would be broken. The
horses would retire a. once.
The mustangs were hunted by Mexi-
cans, and the finest ones singled out and
lassoed. Whole herds were driven at a
run into pens having extended wings,
which contracted as they approached
the gate. AS many as 500 mustangs
have been penned at one run" They
were sold at almost nothing, five dol
lars being high price for n choice
horse: These mustangers were wild
set, often no better than Indians; some
OF them were honest, good men. They
were guilty OF many murders and rob-
berries. The Comanches made many
visits to that region. They would
pounce upon the mustangers, set them
aioot or kill them, as caprice dictated
The Comanche wanted the mustangs to
ride and to eat. Horseflesh is a great
delicacy with them. The choice part is
the fat Immediately under the name
The section in question was very hot in
those days for Americans. A Texan
was considered an hereditary enemy by
both mustangers and Indians. His only
protection was the rife and the six.

How a Canine Milk Thief was Caught.

1t is customary for the occupants of
one Of the houses on Valencia street to
deposit milk pitcher on the front
door step, there TO await the arrival of
the milkman. AS this custodian of tin
cans drove up to the house in question
yesterday morning he did not observe a
cur of the mongrel breed which dogged
his wagon wheels. He stopped, and so
did the dog. He walked up to the door
step, and so did the dog. He filled the
waiting pitcher with milk and took his
departure, but the dog didn't. The
canine had determined to take the milk
instead. After surveying the surround
1ngs with wary eye, and ascertaining
that there We're nobody near to molest
or make him afraid, he commenced his
nefarious operations. He bent his nose
lovingly in the pitcher, and for a mo-
ment, while he quaffed delicious
draughts of the rich liquid, his head
was visible to the Call reporter, who
observed the movements from behind a
lpmp-post across the way. Deeper and
deeper diVed the dogs head into the
pitcher, and shallower and shallower
grew the milk within.
At last the vessel became empty, the
dogs snout touched the bottom and he
would leave the pitcher and go, but the
. pitcher obstinately refused to be left
and clung to the thieving dog closer
than a brother. The canine became
hysterical and began to turn somer-
saults, but all in vain the pitcher would
not be shaken. The dog fell down the
steps and got hurt, but the pitcher
wasn't injured whatever. Picking
himself up, the quadruped ran he knew
not whittier; Completely blinded by
the pitcher, he was unable to guide his
footsteps, and, in consequence, the
course which he pursued was a very
erratic one. A hitching-post in the
vicinity was awkward enough to get in
the dogs way, and the collision which
ensued was very unpleasant for the dog.
The pitcher, however, still remained
unbrOken, and the agonizing howls of
the terrified canine became so shrill and
continuous that the whole neighborEood
was alarmed, and heads were projected
out of doors and windows by the hun
dred. Among the spectators was the
dogs master, who, perceiving the pitt
full plight of his pet, hastened to his
relief. The efforts of the owner of the
dog to pull the pitcher from its vantage
ground were fruitless. The dog came
every time, but the pitcher didn't. At
last he was compelled 10 break the stub
born piece of crocEery with IA stone.
The dog once more regained his accus.
toned composure, the atmosphere again
became quiet and calm, The windows
were shut one by one, and Valencia
street, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth. was quiet again.-San FraE-
cisco CdU.

natural blooms especially whenever
they are obtainable.
Full fraises of lace are worn high and
close around the throat. The lace is
put in treble box plaits, and there is n
long bow of muslin and lace added to
this to fall low on the corsage.
The newest corsage for evening dress
