THE AQUEDUcr BRIDGE.-As stated in
the GAZETTE tho Secretary of War yester-
terday transmitted his response to the reso-
tuition of Senator Daniel making inquiry as
to the expense of providing suitable ap
proaches and roadways on the south eud of
the new Aqueduct bridge. The Secretary
sends letter from Col. uains. in which be
states hat the bridge is completed and with
approaches on the south end that are deem
Ell adequate TO absolute requirements, but

Colored Men and Liquor.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 25.-Atthe meet
ing of the American Missionary Society
last night Rev. J. r. Mclean, colored, of
Paris, Tex, said: 1--WE do not drink as much
as the whites because we could not pay for
il, and we do not inherit as do they, an
appetite for it. i think that one OF the
chief reasons for our race voting against
prohibition Is that they consider the lib
erty to drink an attribute to freedom. An
ether reason is that it seems to promote
social equality, dissOlute whites often Con
descending to drink with negroes. Than
again. many colored preachers and church
members thiak liquor fsvors the dow Of
religious feeling"

Riding a Trick Horse.

Men have a great advantage over
women in being able to sit on horse IN
the way they do. Their position in the
saddle is necessarily safer, having leg
on each side of the horse. In times of
danger they can hold on very we'll when
a woman would fall. l have ridden
horseback for a number of years. and
have found out now what think is the
safest seat and the most comfortable
one. l always ride now by stirrup bal
ance. That is, / use the stirrup so long
that to place my foot in it my leg has to
be extended straight down. / rest
part of my weight in the stirrup and
part of it in the horn of the saddle. /
think there is more grace in sitting this
way than in using the short Stirrup.
With the short stirrup the leg is bent
and twisted, and it is not at all COM
Portable to twist yourself round in the
saddle to face your horse properly.
With the long stirrup you can sit
squarely with your horse. The proper
way is to be looking straight ahead with
your shoulders and head thrown well
back. Don't bend down over your
horse, because if he should stumble you
would stand good chance of being
thrown over his head before you could

The wheat market was mostly lower, but
rather steady most of the day at the decline.
Receipts Of spring and winter wheat were
moderate. The receipts were 205 cars, and
6S at Duluth. The shipments from here for
outside mills were only 20 cars. Old wheat
was in sharp request and the market was
very strong, while new was rather easy. Dur
ing the morning business dragged, but later
was more active. Flour was firm, millstuffs
barely steady, and feed grain quiet.

A FRIEND,

The radiant beauty of her tender face
Was but an echo of her loYelier soul;
To all things fair she lent fairer grace;
What was not sweet some sweetness from
her stole;
In daily loving acts she met their needs
Who dreamed of future great and noble
deeds.
She strove to round her life unto that law;
She willed TO be the worlds in act and
word:
Where others found but i'll some good she
saw,
And held from all whateer unkind she
She fain would see linked closer friend to
friend,
And sought to make love deeper grow, not
end.
And what she seemed to be she was. in sooth
Alike to all, herself sincere and true,
Earnest and trusting all, for such was truth
To her. 1t gave her faith in those she
knew,
And if they grew indeed beneath her spell
More like to what she thought them, who can
tell?
She loved the world and made it fair each day
About her; to her steps JOY seemed 10
Through paths of love she took her gentle
way,
And dropped her words and looks like
flowers OF spring.
And though she died in youth, who but will
say
The world is better for her life's short day.

HIS FLATTERING OFFER.
How an Editor Proposed to Make
a Famous Man More Famous.

Some time ago while Mark Twain
was taking a reminiscent float down the
Mississippi river, the boat On which he
was embarked was compelled one night
to 'tie up" at Flags Point, village in
Louisiana. The humorist had gone to
bed, and had just sunk intoa dOze when
there came a sharp rap at his State-rO0m
door. Twain opened the door. A
squint eyed fellow, wearing check
shirt and rawhide boots, stepped into
the room.
as this Mark Twain?"
Eyes, am known by that name"
"Well, sir, have some mighty i'm
portant business with YOU"
"Please state it,"
KANT do it here, but eff you'll come
with me you'll soon find out"
II don't care to go anywhere tonight
except to bed" Twain replied.
''But tell you this is important
something that should be attended to
atonce. You just come with me a few
minutes and I'll Be dinged if you ever
regret it,"
81 don't care to meet any one"
"YOu won't have to meet any one but
me. You may have had trick played
on you, but | tell you this is to your adj
vantage. 1t won't take you ten min
utes. The only reason want you to go
with me is that l may prove my good
faith"
lie continued with such strong i'm
portunity that Twain finally consented
to go with him. The humorist was con-
Quoted through a muddy street and
down a dark alley to a small, wooden
building. His conductor unlocked a
door, entered room and lighted
smoky lamp.
Come right in an set down."
The humorist looked around and dis
covered that he was in a printing Office,
fitted up with hand press and few
leases" of type.
"Set down."
Twain seated himself on box. His
conductor added:
"You are now, sir, within the portals
of the Weekly Progress, paper that
circulates extensively throughout the
country, and of which | am the editor.
/ wanted to bring you here to show you
as conyincin' proof of my standin', the
tools and appliances of my honorable
profession. l could, on the boat,
have given the information that
l intended to deliver, but, sub,
without these here surroundings of sin
cerity, you mout have thought me a
fraud. Now, this is what | want to tell
you, Mr.. Twain. / have hearn of you,
and want to say anything you write
that you want printed, WY you send
it to J. Casper Mcintosh, and I'll
be blamed If | don't print it for
you. Yes, ] WILL" he added, meet
ing the humorist's stare of amaze
ment. Eyes, I'll be dinged if 1 don't.
You just go ahead now and write out a
lot of your fool things, and I'll be
hanged If don't publish 'em, l don't
care blame whut folks say. Don't be
snatched, Mr.. Twain, for l am telling
of the truth. I'll publish your articles.
Well, eff We must go, good night. When
you get down thar to the corner of the
fence turn to the right, if you don't

The American way of riding horse
Is the only way that comfort can be had
for both man and beast. BY the AmerI-
can way mean sitting in the saddle. I
am sorry a great many gentlemen of
this country are using the English style
on horseback-th is, they ride in the
saddle with the motion of the horse.
Last summer when l was in England l
noticed this style particularly. l don't
see how it can be comfortable, and l
know it is anything but graceful to see
a nan humping up and down in his sad
die. The English who saw us ride soon
came to this conclusion. They agreed
that the American style was the only
style, and soon began to copy us. EX-
pert riders came down to see me.
They tried the American style,
and now many gentlemen can be
seen every day in their parks riding
the American style. To ride properly
you must sit firmly in your saddle. Get
comfortable saddle to begin with. Then
Sit Squarely in it. Have your stirrups
long enough to save some of the
weight from the horses back and so
that you can raise yourself in them
when necessary. L always raised my
self in the saddle to shoot. l can get
steadier position and get a better aim.
When sitting on your horse grip him
with your legs. between your hip and
your knee. Sit erect and hold your
reins low down and short enough to feel
his head. The first thing rider should
do is to learn his horse. Learn the diff
ferent gaits of the horse and then ride
with the horse-go with his motion.
This is less firing to the horse and to
the rider. w. f. Copy (BuffalO Bid.

tlemen who wish to ride would try
this method they would very soon learn,
and without the expense of rid
ing master either. OF course, they
might get a few bruises at first. To
keep a proper seat in 8 saddle just sit
down as though you had a chair to sit
on. Sit firmly and erect. Let your legs
hang down on either side of the horse
and hook your toes III the stirrups.
Don't use short stirrup, but have them
just long enough so that you can rest
little weight in them and so place your
weight evenly on the horses back.
Press your knees in tightly to the horses
body and get a grip of him. This will
steady you, and you will be able to
move more with the horse. Just fancy
you and your horse are one and move in
sympathy. This will save you from get
ting tired quickly and will save your
horse. Follow these instructions and
practice, and you will soon be able to
ride. JIM KID, the Texas Cowboy.
