Scared a Cow to Death.
The New Orleans Times saws:

The New Orleans Times says:
At Forests ranch, near Genoa, one of
the hands noticed a COW charging furi-
ously at a thicket An investigation
showed that the animal was fighting a
big black snake and trying to stamp it
to death with her fore feet The thicket
was an isolated clump of sage brush, and
the snake did not seem disposed to leave
1t and trust its life in the open country.
Finally the COW lowered her head and
attempted to impale the snake on her
horns. In an instant the snake sprang
on the the cows head and rapidly coiled
itself about the horns. The COW stood
dazed for an instant, and then started
off on a run, occasionally kneeling to rub
her head against the ground, but she was
unable to rid herself of her enemy. She
again sought the sage brush and tried
to brush the incubus off. but the snake
only coiled itself the tighter and refused
to be dislodged.
The COW seemed finally to realize that
all her efforts were useless, and, uttering
a terrible below, set off at full gallop.
The hands made an effort to follow her
and turn her back, but in her frantic
fright she outstripped the horses, and,
when cornered, would charge everything
in sight Occasionally the snake would
half untwist itself, and its head would
play before the cows eyes. On these
occasions the poor animal would below
with terror and sometimes go fifty yards
backwards to escape.
For three hours she ran wildly about
the fields, with the blood and foam flying
from her lips end sweat streaming from
her sides. The rest of the hired help
tried to throw lasso over her horns,
but could not get near enough, and
finally the poor brute dropped from sheer
exhaustion and painted out her life. The
snake was Immediately despatched, and
was black snake five feet long.

BILL NYE AS A JOURNALIST.
He Tells How He Published a Paper Onl
West.

Bill Nye, in his address before the
Wisconsin Press Association, said OF his
own career:
''My first experience in journalism was
in western town in which was total
stranger l went there with thirty-tive
cents, but had it concealed in the lin
ing of my clothes so that no one would
have suspected it if they met me. |
had no friends, and I noticed that when
[ got off the train the band was not
there to meet me. | entered the town
Just as any other American citizen would.
/ had not fully decided whether to be-
come stage robber or lecturer on
phrenology. At that time l got a
chance on morning paper. 1t used to
go to press before dark, so l always had
my evenings to myself, and l liked that
p7rt of it first rate. | worked on that
paper year, and might have continued
if the proprietors had not changed it
into an evening paper. =.
"Then company incorporated itself
and started paper of which L took
charge. The paper was published In
the loft of livery stable. That is the
reason they called it stock company.
You could come up the stairs into the
office, or you could twist the tail of the
iror, gray -rnuie md aise-Blae- elevator
'.It wasn't much of a paper, but it
cost SIG, 900 a year to run 1t, and it came
out six days in a week, no matter what
the weather was. We took the Asso-
ciated Press news by telegraph part of
the time, and part of the time we relied
on a copy of the Cheyenne morning
papers, which we got of the conductors
on the early freight. We got a great
many special kilograms from Washing
ton in that way, and when the freight
train got in late l had to guess at what
Congress was doing and fix up column
of telegraph the best l could. There
was rival evening paper there, and
sometimes it would send smart boy
down to the train and get hold of our
special kilograms, and sometimes the
conductor would go away on a picnic
and take our Cheyenne paper with him.
'All these things are annoying to
man who is trying to supply long-felt
want. There was one conductor in
particular who used to go away into the
foot hills shooting sage hens and take
our cablegrams with him. This threw
too much strain on me. 1 could guess
at what Congress was doing and make
up pretty readable report, but foreign
powers and rich stays, and crowned
heads and dynasties always mixed me
up. You can look over what Congress
did last year and give a pretty good
guess at what it will do this year, but
you can't rely on a dynasty or an effete
monarchy in a bad state of preservation.
1t may go into executive session or it
may go into bankruptcy"

Poor Paul.

You may see just such a group any
day you pass building in course OF
erection-six or eight stolid-faced Pol.
acks sitting OF lying on the grass, after
their frugal MONDAY lunch, sometimes
chatting together, sometimes glum and
taciturn, as if brooding over their per-
sonal wrongs.
Such group we observed about g
new building up Woodward avenue the
other day. There was seemingly nc
companionship. Each man ate his
lunch by himself, as if he begrudged
his company to his fellow workmen,
and one would have said that the work
men were strangers and men of suspl-
cious natures.
By and by, as one stretched out on
the grass under shade tree to doze his
remaining half hour away, parcel fell
from his pocket. One of the others
carefully reached over and secured it,
and for the first time the group exhib-
tied companionship and geniality. Here
was an opportunity to play joke. The
parcel was softly unwrapped, the men
gathered closer, and in minute poor,
faded and battered tin-type was ex-
pOStu 10 VIEW. III was InaU OF q DOy

from every face in moment, and one

that we had handled it."
The picture was tenderly wrapped up
and carefully inserted into the half-un-
conscious mans pocket, and the man
who did it sadly shook his head and
said:

Secretary Whitney's Experiment.

The Pittsburgh Post tells this story =
Secretary of the Navy Whitney is an
old New Yorker, and is familiar with
the city's characteristics. He stood in
the corridor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
in light conversation with Secretary of
the Interior Lamar, and the topic of con-
versation was confidence robbery that
had been perpetrated upon a guest of the
house that day. Whitney maintained
that while some men were astonishingly
gullible, the majority were unreasonably
cautious.
"To illustrate my point, he said, '9et
my Dung friend Joe Barnard, here, Of
fer to give ten dollar bill for one dollar,
and not man in this corridor will accept
the offer"
The experiment was at once made.
Joe was good-looking. well-dressed
fellow, with nothing in his aspect to
suggest roguery. Whitney handed a
crisp, new ten-dollar note to him, and he
set out on his round.
II beg your pardon, sir" he remarked
politely to Gen. Dan Sickles, who was
stumping round on leg and a crutch,
"but will you please give me one dollar

close to Sicl1les's eyes that its genuineness
ought to have been visible,
A half-sarcastic, half-angry grin came
over the Generals face, but he deigned
no reply, and contemptuously turned
away. The proffer was soberly made to
nine men, none being a witness Of the
others refusal, and every time with the
same result. Nobody would buy $40
with 81. All decided on the spur of the
moment that they were the objects of
swindler's attention. The endangered
note came safely back to Whitney, and
the group laughed over its adventure
save Sic%les, who was called in t. -
leased for letting 50 good bargain
slip.
