 The trustees of the institute have loaned the Gld horse to the expo sition and he set out op his travels last Wednesday, coming via Knox vile, Rome and CaleTa, arriving in Montgomery yesterday morning. Here he stopped over a day to rest. He wes suarterd at the South aud North stockyards during the day and last night.

TEE "HITHER TOD CLAIM.
Mrs. Ross Story of Her First Year'i
 Experience in Dal Ota.

It was hot, sultry day, towarc the last of July, ,on the Dakota prai- rie. The mercury had stood in tAe pineties for 8 week; the prai- rie gaeamed yellow in the burning sun. Every bird was still. Tie only sound was the merry ehirp of the grasshopper. The prairie flow res dooped to the earth, and DO breeze famed them back to lite.
 I was a thew settler" having come from my New England home to take up quarter se.aen of farmer land under the land laws which allows unmarried women the same rights and privileges accord ed to men in the having and hold. ing claims. On this day l had rid den to the postollice, distance of four miles, and was returning by a different route when something very unusual Tor the prairie met my eye. Here was a claim very di fer ent from that of the ordinary set. tier. The ripening corn, the acres of wheat and oats, the thrifty cot tonwood trees, transplanted from the creek miles away all this show ed marked skill and unce asing care. The house, too, though small and poor, was very different from the ustial "claim shanty," it had at least two windows, and only one is required by Jaw. All around the low door grew the tall msrigolds. glowing hOllyhoc ks and miGnoette with long spikes of fragrant bloom. It was an oasis in the general deso- lation. I refined in my Indian po- ny as I nearei the house, whicl, stood near one corner of the claim and a stout, happy-faced woman appeared in the narrow doorway. ] was about to start on when she called out:
 "Won't you come in, Miss, an have a glass O water? It's a hot day we're hav'n."
 could not resist the genuine friendEness of the voice. I dis. mounted and hitcheS the pony in the shade of the house.
 "Coms right in an' sit by'a spelp' the .stsanger vent on, as ske led the way into the house aud placed a a lasge, chintz- covered rocker for me. "You're welcome's can be! l don't know you, but I s'pose you are the lady I've heard of ss has taken claim 72, range IF, air you2"
 She stepped dong enough rto hear my affirmative answer and went On' "Well, now Pm real glad :o see you It's a skeery sort Q thing to do, come out here and take up a claim, all by yourself. La! I ain't told you my name. Pm Mis- Ross, an yonder's Reuben in the cOrnfield,' with 8 pod toward the vest yin dow.
 a"An' thie is the 'HithertQ' claim Mebbe you see the name ap a bi1 O board as you came in"
 As she stopped for breath, l said, glancing admiringly at the flower-bed by the door: "It's un' usual to see flower garden on claim, it cheers one up Wonderffpl- iy."
 "Don't it, nowS It's all Rueben's work; he brought the seeds from his mothers garden, in York state.

TIE OFFICE HOLDER. The Radical sat in his cushioned chair And scowled with heavy grief and care; His gin-bleared eyes were dim'd with tears, For he'd held office sixteen years. His under lip hna F puckered pout At the idea of being boosted out; His brow was moist with clammy sweat At thought ofquitting the public teat, From which he'd sucked rich office milk. And, drawing forth some perfumed silk, He wiped his eyes, and sighed. and sald "Iow can l live when the party's desd!

passengers had gathered around the open
door of the engine room, looking with in
terest at the movements of tho ponderous
machinery. Among tho passengers was Sam
Foster, New York gentleman, who is
practical joker. He is young man of
means and was elegantly dressed. He is
moreover o very good amateur ventrilo-
quist.
7" Now, boys" said Foster, let us have
some fun with the engineer"
A creahing, squeaking noise was heard
among the machinery. The engineer was
somewhat startled, and he fabricated var
ious and sundry parts of the machinery
with great industry and an oil can. Tn,
latter contained half n pint of oil.
Foster nudged one of his boon compan.
ions in the ribs, and pretty soon the ma
chinery squeaked again. Once more the
engineer Gained down suspected piston
by amounting 1t with his alleviator. Tho
squeaking still continued, and Foster point
ed out the place that needed oiling. Once
more the engineer took his alleviator, and
removing the cork, poured the contents
down the back Of tho festive Foster, and
over his $40 suit of clothes.
There" said tho engineer, -. DON,

hurry. Teas Sjfyings.
