Louise, and he was rewarded for his
speed with q jeweled snuh.box, 6,000f.,
and the horse which carried him so
well. It is said that he rode Che whole
way without dismounting. but that is
scarcely credible. The conditions are
so different that it is impossible to
compare these feats with those of last
week at Chicago, but it seems reason
ably certain that neither on horseback
nor on foot can tho rate of 100 miles be
kept up for more than five days, and

Just Where He Had I'm.

HALF an hour before the departure
of lake steamer from her wharf yes
terdy the Captain was approached by
stranger who had been Inspecting the
boat from the dock for the last ten min
utes. Introducing himself as q would
be passenger, he asked:
"Captain. is this boat provided with
ife-preservers?"
"She is"

"They are"
"Can your crew launch life-boatr'

"Will your engineer stand to his post
in case of disaster?'
ssHe will.'
"Do you call yourself q cool and

"Do you know exactly what you
would do in case of . terrible gale or q
fire?''

"Can the mate be depended on to

"And will your crew stand by you

els she fixed to blow off at forty-six
pounds?'
"She is"
"DIonk,esy-engine working all rightP"
The stranger heaved a deep sigh and
was walking away when the Captain
asked if his baggage was aboard.
"No. and I guess I'll 60 afoot," was
the reply. Every boat which has
burned up or gone down for the last
five years had everything in the incest
kind of order, and I'll either look for q
craft making six feet of water an hour
or run the risk of going through rail-
road bridge. Good-by. Captain-I shall
lock in the dailies all this week TO see

Stored.up Knowledge Of Use.

ALL knowledge is good. and sooner
or later may be put to use. In emer-
gencies q demand is suddenly made for
accurate information. It cannot be OBJ
tanned at the moment, though it would
be of great value if one had previously
acquired it.
Mr.. Webster used to tell with great
zest an incident in his professional life,
which illustrates this fact. In his early
practice he had for 2 client an old man
in danger of losing q little legacy be-
queathed by will. The complications
in the will were 50 intricate that Mr..
Webster became interested in the case,
and sent for legal books to New York,
which cost him more than fifty dollars.
Studying these, he gained his case, but
at great loss to his pocket, as his cli-
emit was unable to adequately compen-
safe him. Some years after, while Wis
iting New York, the celebrated Aaron
Burr called on him for consultation.
He told Mr.. Webster that will case,
in which he was engaged, had given
him great perplexity and quite baf1ed
him. He stated the difficulties, which
were identical with those which Mr..
Webster had previously mastered. He
gave an instant solution of the puzzle.
Mr.. Burr listened in wonder, and asked:
Have you been consulted in this case,
Mr.. Webster?''
81 have never heard of it till you
stated it."
Mr.. Burr's wonder deepened.
81 have been studying it for weeks,
sir. and could see no way out of it.
How could you settle it 50 promptly"
Mr.. Webster told him of the previous
case, which had involved the same
principles, and Mr.. Burr had q hearty
laugh over his fancy that his friend
must be gifted with supernatural wis
dom. Mr.. Webster's early study
brought him . $500 fee at that late day.

Men and Horses.

The 156-hour race between men and
horses. at Chicago. last week, ended in
q victory for man. Byrne, new pc
destrian, who is scarcely twenty yet,
scored 542 miles as his six day record.
and stopped Saturday with score of
57s miles. The leading horse finished
ten miles behind him. The Chicago pa
pers call the contest q ''great'' one, of
course, but without finding fault with
that, it may be said that they are quite
in error in describing it as "the first of
the kind ever given" Last October
there was similar contestin San Fran
cisco, but then horse won, with six
day record of $50 miles. However, the
list of such contests-we believe there
have been .others-is happily, q brief
one, and, stepping outside Of it, there
are authentic records of remarkable
rides which are far more interesting
than such objectless displays of grim
endurance as the Chicago performance.
In 1847 General j. G. Fremont and two
companions covered 800 miles across q
roadless and mountainous country in
158 hours. only 100 of which were spent
in the saddle. OF course they had q
frequent change of horses, those not un-
der saddle being driven ahead and las
seed when wanted. This is perhaps the
most remarkable horseback ride on au-
thentic record. Two or three years ago
nine Italian officers undertook q ride of
SO miles to see what was the extreme
performance which might be expected of
ordinary horses in war. Only three
finished the distance, and they required
1O3 hours for the task. Some time
before this another Italian officer rode
$50 Italian miles in tendays on single
horse. From Vienna to Paris is 500
miles as the crow flies. Prince de Linge
once covered the road between the two
cities il six days. but with relays of
horses Count de Maintenay is said to
have done it in less time on a single
roadster. He was then the bearer of
of the consent of the Emperor of Austria
