A Phenomenal Pair Of Horns.

John Schilling brought to this Office
the other day a pair of deer horns, sent
by Dave Bunch, the boss hunter of
Garden Valley. Their size, measuring
two feet eight inches between the two
points frrthest apart, will strike all old
hunters as being something more than
ordinary for those of the black tail or
mule deer; but the strangest thing about
the antlers is the arrangement Of some
OF the points. From the first prong GO
ing out of the main one quite a number
shoot off from all sides, forming a bunch
of points at about the center Of those OF
each antler, instead of all growing out
of the same side on natures established
plan. Within an inch or two of the
head, where one point from each horn
is the rule, on one of these is two and
the other four. There are twenty-five
points in all. but partiality is shown for
one side, it having twelve. This, we
believe. is common occurrence. Old
hunters pronounce this phenomenal
pair OF horns. - Idaho Territory World.

4 Speculative Yankee.

The real, old fashioned Yankee is still
fixture among us, though some writer's
would make us believe that he has been
dead for years. There was a genuine
specimen in the Erie depot Yesterday.
and was explaining to several interested
parties:
Father-in-law lives here in JERSEY
City, and Pm on a visit like. Thought
I'd bring along few traps and things
and git up a dicker or two. Any Of
you like to invest in that?''
He put out the model of rat trap
and said:
This trap not only catches the var
minis, but it chokes 'em to death.
throws the body out of that back win

is an alarm, to go off at any hour you
want and wake up the family. Here's
an apparatus on this side for grating
horse radish, and on the other is mill
tor grindin' spices. Any of you like to
buy county rights?'
No one did, and he then placed be-
fore them vessel, about which he ex-
planned:
This is now a water pail. BY plac-
ing this iron cover on the bottom it be-
comes kettle. By inverting the cover
you have a spider. The pail is half
bushel measure to a grain. Once
around it is exactly yard. Its weight
is exactly two pounds, and sell county
rights for $50 each.''
The next was a boot-jack, which
could be transformed into e-tongs,
press board, stove handle. nail hammer
and several other things. He had an
augur which bored four holes at once, a
gimlet which bored square hole,
washing machine which could also be
made to serve as a tea table, and one
or two other things, and as he reached
the last he said:
Gentlemen, I am full of specula-
tons. I'll invent anything you want.
I'll sell anything I've go:. I'll take
pay in anything you have, and III give
every one OF you a chance to make
million dollars. Wall Street News.

How One Boy Kept Twenty Indians at
Bay.

A brave boy who kept twenty Indians
at bay died of his wounds, few DAYS
ago, at Denver, Col. Three DAYS after
the battle Of White River, in which the
gallant Thornburgh lost his life, Free
man Il. Wray, who was in charge of
camp forty-five miles north of White
River Agency, was attacked by a band
of savages. He contrived to get his
rifle and to make so good a defense that
they betook themselves to a ravine and
besieged him at their leisure. After a
while he got out of ammunition, and
was forced to climb into a wagon to get
anew supply. While he was executing
this movement a bullet struck him IL
the calf of the leg, passing directly
through. In another instant another
ball caught him at the hip and Knocked
him down. With a whoop and q veil
the savages ran toward the spot, ex.
pecting to take their plucky foe pris>
oner. But they were again foiled, for
Wray was only down temporarily, and,
getting to his feet again, scrambled
into the wagon where lay his ammuni-
ton. He pulled sack of flour IN front
OF him and piled a bag of beans on top
OF that and took hold of such other ar
ticles within reach as made for him q
barricade against the shower of balls
that was promised. Rapidly cutting a
hole in the canvass wagon cover he saw
the Indians approaching. Leveling his
rifle he fired at the foremost of his pur-
suers without the ball taking effect.
This threw the Indians into confusion
and they retreated to the walls of the
ravine. They threw hailstorm of bull
let's into the side of the wagon where
the plucky boy lay intrenched. One of
these leaden messengers caught
young Wray in the right eye,
crashing through his brain. The
Indians finally retreated. After pro-
tracted delay the boys wounds were
dressed and the balls extracted, and
after five months nursing he seemed to
be entirely well, although he had lost
the use of one eye. One Of the wounds
broke out afresh eighteen months after
the fight ana caused his death. S.

Fun7 Well, for fun it can't be beat!
Over the glistening snow to ride,
Drawn by nag both strong and feet
And pretty girl to sit beside.
The sun shines bright, and the clear crisp air
Makes her dimpled cheeks rosy red,
And the fresh breeze toys with her soft brown
hair
As over the road we're swiftly sped.
Gaily the moments pass for each.
And, just as the sinking sun goes down.
The famous DeerfOot House we reach,
An even dozen miles from town.
Acozy room, with a blazing fire,
And a toOtnsome supper we here obtain,
And then order out the flyer,
Ready to start for home again.
The air seems chill when we first step ont.
It's growing cold, since the sun went down,
And We closely wrap the robes about,
Then, nicely fixed, we start for town
Under the light of the rising moon,
Homeward we swiftly take our flight.
We reach the city all too soon
Yes, Ienjoyedit. But, oh dear,
think should have liked it more
Had not CHANGED to freeze my ear.
I've thawed II, but it's awful sore.

Some Very Exact Statistics.

A Detroiter has been for the last two
years collecting and arranging statistics
of an odd nature, and if his book is ever
published readers will find nothing dry
about it. He goes right to business on
page one by estimating that the num-
Der OF lickings received by the average
boy up to his fourteenth year at 125.
This includes the spanking process dur
ing infancy.
Out of every 100000 people in this
country Is, 900 get up cross in the morn
ing, but only hundred or so remain in
that condition very long after breakfast.
Out Of $4,000 men only 600 will put
up money on bet. The rest will craw-
fish around and finally back water on
their assertions.
Only ten women out of every 500 who
start out on railroad journey consult
railroad map or have the least idea of
the direction they take; 1873 worry about,
their baggage, 497 are certain they
took the wrong train, 494 wish they had
never started.
The risk of being bitten by dog is
greatly overestimated. Out of everv
LOCO big and little dogs only two care
to get up row with the human race.
and those two are ready and willing to
die.
The number of men who can put in a
more pleasant evening down town than
at their own fireside is on the decrease,
and the number Of wives who are tax
ing little extra pains to make home
more pleasant than concert saloon is
| on the increase.
Out of every 1000 men who get mad
and swear they will see a lawyer about
it, only fifteen carry out their inten-
tions.
Out of every 1000 women who ride
on street cars only twelve will move
along to offer another woman chance
to sit down. Nine hundred and ninety.
eight of them argue that it is a mans
! duty to stand up, even if there is plenty
OF room, and the other two are supreme
~ Indifferent.
Only one woman in 5000 pays the
first price asked for a bonnet, and only
one milllner in 1000, 600 expects her to.
The time occupied by the average
man in buying full suit of clothes is
just one-fourth the time occupied by
the average woman in buying a single
pair of stocklngs.-Detroii Free Press.

THAT SMALL PLECEE BOY FROM
CHINA.
'Twas a little Asiatio

Twas little Asiatic
Sitting sadly on the deck,
Who with Wailings loud, emphatic,
Watched his home fade to a speck,
While his satfron-hued complexion
Altered to deep olive green.
And the tears of retrospectiOn
In his almond eyes were seen.
Still he scanned the far horizon,
Touching neither bread nor meat;
And we feared that he would die soon.
For we could not make him eat.
Sympathy, and cen religion.
"Speakee you too much fool pigeon,
Better China home than here.

Make Q kite, you foolish fellow
Kindly then the Captain said.
With delight his cheeks SO yellow
As he worked, an inspiration
In his eager fingers burned.
Each on board made his donation,
Every scrap to use was turned.
TO begin, the galley scullion
Gave wOrn-out cracked guitar,
Which would utter shrieks seOlian
AS the breeze bore it altar;
Stats that were from blinds Venetian,
And tattered pal asol.
Wondered we at such provision,
Sure 1t could not carry all.
Two old bOnnets, an air cushion,
With handbook painted green,
Rockets two, to set it rushing,
And an ancient crinoline,
Wings from torn old umbrella,
While a tail of many rags
Showed in its red, white and yellow
He had StOl'u the signal flags.
Vain our taunts, our sneers invidiouA
FOR each day the structure grew
Stronger, Vuster and more hideOus,
Yet more awful to the view.
ClOven tongue all barbed and Kissing,
And a snaky horned wig,
Google eyes revolving, whizzing
In a fiery whirligig:
TIL with Joy Kong 5 face resembled
A great orange sent from Seville.
All who saw the kite now trembled,
Twas 80 very like devil.
And Kong scanned the far horizon,
Till from out the western main
Rose black and threatening typh0on,
And it blew hurricane.
On the poop Kong danced ecstattc,
And he gave his demon string.
As it tugged with curve cratic
Loud and clear we heard him sing:
mo more chowchow mutton hashee,
Soon me suck fat shark tail fin,
Soon one pigta1l full OF cashee

Soon me sing my China sing-song,

Choy, old English junk. Chin CHM
Shrieked we all in accents frantic,
"Oh, come back, you China bOy!"
Vain: he scared DER the Atlantic
In straight course for Annoy.
And the soldiers Of Gibraltar
Saw him whizzing through the sky,
Like bOmb-shen to the assault, or
A gigantic comet high.
And the tempest waged still windier
AS he crossed the great canal,
Till, with but a glance at India,
He reached safe the China wall. ssm

Now reposes with his kite.
