speed Of the Antelope.

1t may not be 50 with spOrtsmen,
but with us it is much more pleasant
to read the following story from Har-
per's, telling how the antelOpes were
not caught, than it would be to read
the account of their capture by the
greyhounds =
The speed of the antelope is prOba-
bly, not excelled by that of any other
animal in this country, wild or domes-
tic, except the greyhound, and in fact
it is only the finest and fleetest of these
that can pull down an antelope in n
fair race.
In the little village of Garfield, Kan,
there lived n man some years ago
the proprietor of hotel-whu had two
pet antelopes. The village dogs had
several times chased them. but had al
ways been distanced. One day Mex
lean came to town who had with him
two large, handsome greyhounds. I'm
mediately on riding up to the hotel he
saw the ahtelopes in the yard, and told
the proprietor, gruffiy, that he had bet
ter put "them critters in the corral, or
his dogs would kill them. The pro-
| prietor said he guessed the CRITTERS
were able to take care of themselves,
especially if the dogs did not spring
upon them unawares. This aroused the
/ Mexican's ire, and he promptly offered
to wager goOdly sum that his dogs
would pull down one or both of the
antelOpes within mile. The chall 'nge
was accepted, the stakes deposited,
and the antelOpes turned into the street,
ana the "greaser'' told his dogs to
take 'em."
| The dogs sprang ut the antelOpes,
! but the latter had soon reached II va
cant lot across the street. They start
ed off down the river. For distance
of four miles the river bottom was an
open prairie, and us level as Il floor.
| As the quartette sped over this
! grand natural race course, the whole
! populace of the town turned out en-
mdSse to see the race. Men and boys
shouted. and ladies waved their hand
kerchiets. Betting was rife, the natives
offering two to one on the antelOpes,
| the Mexican and the few other strang-
ers in town being eager takers. 1t was
nip and tuck, neither animals gaining
nor losing perceptibly, and when at
last they went round bend in the river
four miles away, and were hidden by Il
! blllil, lilt Stillt as, dlS lt'lllN slS NOuiN
be seen by the aid of good field glasses
Just about the same distance ahead Oi
the dogs as when they left town.
Some hours later the dogs returned,
so tired they could scarcely walk
The Mexican eagerly looked for hail
on their teeth, and although he cOult
find none, was confident that his dogs
had killed the antelOpes. A mounted
expedition to search for the carcasses
and settle the question was agreed
upon, but as it was too near night t.
start when the dogs returned, it wa'
arranged to go in the morning. Blu
when the parties got up the next morn
ing they found the antelOpes quietly
grazing in the hotel yard. The MeXi
can left town in disgust, followed b!
his lame, sore-footed dogs, and NUT
tering that he "never seed no varmints
run like them things did"

The Earring Out OF Date.


Women are beginning to abolish the
earring as one of their personal adorn-
ments, although it will take "A long
time to wholly Danish this favOrite but
barbarous ornament. The recent
aesthetic movement in dress which in
trOduced, among its absurdities, some
truly sensible ideas, had much to do in
educating women to better standard
Oftaste regarding personal adornments.
The most exclusively fashionable wom-
en- do not now wear earrings in the
daytime, and only those with jewels or
rare stones in the evening. Finally,
they may be discarded altogether, and
the money spent for diamonds in this
direction will be invested in brooches,
pendants or bracelets. Already some
of the famous actresses and leaders in
fashion make point of not wearing
earrings. They say pretty ear is dis
figured by them, and that more attrac-
| ton is attracted to hOmely ones with
| these attached ornaments. There are

millions, who own superb diamonds,

consider them disfiguring, barbarous

Notes Of Public Opinion.
Is 1T THE UNREASONABLE SIN?

Is 1T THE UNPARDONABLE SIN!
The Independent has withdrawn
from the support of Gov. Cleveland on
account of the Buffalo scandals We
understand that this change of front is
made by Mr.. Bowen, the proprietor of
the paper, against the views of DR..
Ward, the editor, and DR.. Twining.
the associate editor. The article in
which the change is announced takes
the ground that one act of personal i'm
purity, if proved, is sufficient to con-
denim anybody. In this regard the In
dependent takes considerable higher
grounds than the New Testament.
We can only congratulate it on the
state of perfection which tranScends
the words of Him who said ego and
sin no more" 1t is quite true that
these words were not said of one who
was IL candidate for the presidency,
but the tone of the independents arti-
Gle is quite rigid enough to include

THE PRIVACY OF DOMESTIC LIFE.
Every day proves the truth of the
Republicans position that man OF
national reputation, nominated for the
presidency of the United States, should
have the privacy of his domestic life
absolutely respected, pending the de
cision of the campaign. Men are not
nominated for this high office for their
domestic relations, although those are
assumed to he proper, but for their
statesmanlike abilities, their integrity,
their fearless courage and their clear
perceptions of the peoples interests,
AS distinct from their own personal
ends. When the inquest into charac-
ter goes back of this, into the domain
of mans sexual relations, it goes where
the only certain thing is that innocent
hearts will be filled with wretchedness

news to her aged father and family

Magdalene. 1t was on the money

A Dangerous Feature Of Camp
Meetings.

At a camp-meeting way down in
Maine many of the campers inhabited
temporary abiding places made of can
vas, stretched upon a framework of
Joists. TO dwell in such place in pri-
vacy requires some caution. In the
first place, the walls are exceedingly
good conductors of sound, and any lit
tie matrimonial or other difficulties in
one of the tents are instantly audible
all over the camp. Then, again, it
won't do to place a light in the middle
OF the tent and then proceed to make
preparations for retiring, for the shad-
ows are cast with deadly accuracy
and are not spread out as they are ON
the slanting walls of an ordinary tent.
This fact being noticed by certain
young persons who perambulated the
groves by night, Il scheme against the
