A JudiciOus Husband.

Audubon Magazine.
/ was walking through the edge of a
clearing when | started up a mother
bird, apparently looking for a good sic
for her nest. She was much excited,
and flew about hither and thither, cry
ing "Cheep, cheep," and twitching her
tail nerveusly. She made so much noise
that her husband heard her and came
flying home to find out what was the
matter. He did not think either
my dogs or l looked belligerent,
but he. followed her flOm limb to
limb to be on hand in case any
thing should happen. 1t was very evil
dent that he did not sympathize with her
fears, as he neither cried out nor jerked
his tail; and after he had chased her
here and there, up and down, back and
forth for some time, lie turned toward
her on the branch and looked at her, as
much as tosay, "Oh. you tiresome ere
ature; why will you be so absurd?
Don't you see that they are not going to
hurt yOu?'
His contempt had 10 effect, however,
and-he opened his mouth at her. This
threat of conjugal authority subdued
her, and at last she meekly flew off into
the woods with him.

How the Big Storm Affected the
Flour City.

Flour CITY.
From all appearances the heavy snow
storm is over, and it is well for the sub
urban territory of Minneapolis that it is
so. Another day of the heavy snowfall
would make the streets impossible and
block in the inhabitants. AS it IS the
heavy drifts have packed four and five
feet deep through parts of the outer
wards. on both sides of the river, and
the snowplOWs have done very little to-
ward breaking it up. BY dint of hard
work the car lines were kept open and
the motor trains into town did not lose
trip. The Minnehaha and WaShburn
home divisions We're greatly delayed,
but both lines were open and
in good running order last night.
The storm has had some effect on rail-
road traffic in the Northwest, but not
quite as bad as might be expected from
the severity of the weather. At the
Milwaukee offices it was reported on the
Iowa & Minnesota division, all pasSen-
ger trains running and making time;
showing, but mild. All railroad men
fear now is, that a wind storm may
arise. In that case it would be diSaS-
trous to keeping the roads clear, espe-
cially in the deep cuts. The Hastings
worst shape of any, as no
trains could run last night. The storm
is raging with undated fury all
through that section. Between here
and La Crosse, the headquarters for the

clear, but trains somewhat behind time.

GRIM COWBOY HUMOR.
StOrie5 of "Wild Jack" Booth
Who Was Fond of u Joke.

Storie5 of "XViid Jack" Booth,
Who Was Fond of Joke.
Kansas City Star.
You fellows have all heard of Wild
Jack Booth, one of the best cow-punch-
ers that ever slept out doors. Jack has
peculiar ideas of fun. One day, down
DrOtruding feet of an Indian corpse that
had been buried on a hillside. Jack
reasoned with companion after this
manner:
Bill, [ think that Injun stiff hev
been under kiver long enuf. l jest
think I'll give him an airin'.'
Shutting his actions to the remark,
Jack shared one of the prOtruding legs
with lariat, took turn or two around
the horn of the saddle. and turned the
pony loose on the wide prairie. Out
came the Indian, feathers. wal paint
and all. When Jack had been suffi-
GENTLY amused the corpse was Two OF
three miles from its grave, and it never
was returned.
Zone day Jack lassoed big loaver
wolf and started his pony on dead run
toward camp. One of the boys saw the
procession approaching, and, thinking
something was wrong, started out with
a Winchester. The reinforcement got
a wrong impression of the situation, and
casting his gun to the ground started
toward camp with wild yell OF terror.
He thought the wolf was chasing Jack,
having overlooked the lariat. Jack
caught onto the mistake at once and
turned his pony toward the fleeing cow
boy. When the pony came up along
side Jack yelled:
"'Run, yer son Of a gun. De wolf S
a-gainin.'"
Then the pony darted ahead and Jack
scudding cOW-puncher, who by this
time had seen the lariat, and dropped to
the ground in sheer exhaustion, too
weak even to pull his siX-shooter and
get even with Jack, who was rolling
over the prairie few yards away con-
vulSed with LAUGHTER.
Zone time, down in Texas, Jim Cush-
ing and a companion threw a laSSo
around a wildcat, took turn around
wild plum tree, and proceeded. to make
the animal close captive. The
two forced the cat into one of
Jiln's leather leggins and tied it
securely fore and aft. Camp
was twenty miles away. but the boys,
confident of plenty of fun. logged it
clear in. After supper every man in
camp, about thirty in all, took his six
shooter and formed double line. The
cat was released from the leather
prison and startdd down the line. 1t
struck a dog trOt and showed 10 incli-
nation whatever to hurry. Three min-
utes later more disguised band of cow
boys could not be found in all e

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Pet Deer Nearly Kills William
Rockefeller, Manager of the
Standard Oil COnluany

GREENWICH, Conn, Dec. 31.-Will-
lam Rockefeller. the head of the Stand
ard Oil company, had very narrow
escape from being killed by pet buck
deer at his country residence here. The
buck was a favorite of Mr.. Rockefell-
er's, and he would often feed it from his
hand. A few mornings ago Mr.. Rookie
Teller went to the stable where the buck
was kept, intending to feed it. He was
in the act of offering some green stuff
to the creature to eat, when it lowered
its head, rushed at MIR. Rockefeller and
knocked him down. The buck was pre-
pairing for a second attack, when one of
the farm hands appeared upon the
scene and seized the buck. Mr.. Rookie
Teller would no doubt have been killed
but for the timely arrival of assistance.
He has since been confined to his bed
under doctors care.
