1 met him one day in Carson after i
had left the box and become o shotgun
messenger for Wells-Fargo. We were
sitting on the porch of the hotel chin
ming of old times. Hank was out OF
sorts, suffering from o complaint OF

ragged, dirty, lame, cramped-up, bow
legged Piute Indian l ever saw, lean
ing on his broom-handle stick. He
nodded and put out one of his filthy
paws to us, giving some sort Of hailine
sign. laughed and asked Hank what
the beggar wanted. Hank replied
"That's all right. He:used to be stage

result. He is now shotgun messenger
for Wells-Fargo, and wants to give you

that may be attained in the exercise.
We have no such thing as a national
game; nothing that approaches to your
baseball, or polo, or the English
cricket. Sport with us means, as a
rule, horse racing, and undoubtedly
our jockeys, of whom we think highly,
would compare favorably with the best
that this country knows. The exercise
that really occupies our attention as O
national institution 10 fencing, and that
probably arises from the military char
acter of the national life. Much of the
energy that the American youth puts
into play and physical contests is alb
sorbed by the government in recruiting
the army. Here the boys of the village
have to provide their own amusements,
their own exercises, and have to de-
pend upon themselves for acquiring
the discipline that is SO essential to re-
ally successful sport. With us the
government provides the exercise and
the discipline, and if the young men
can get any amusement out of it, so
much the better for them. H. is the
next war that is always uppermost in
every Frenchman's mind. It is the
necessary preparation for this terrible
event that makes the nation one with
out typical game, for the required
service In the army takes all the young
men into the military field at just the
time when they would naturally be
tossing ball on the diamond, or strain
ing at the oars on the river; and when
the few years of army life are at an end,
if no war comes along to keep the en-
rollment at its highest, those who re-
turn to the ranks Of civilians find
themselves under the stern necessity oi
making living, and all the less is
their time available for play; and more
over the discipline of the army tends tc
make man averse to taking up any
new department of physical activity,
He has already learned to do certain
things, and may be regarded as beyond
the age when it is desirable to spend
any more time in learning accomplish
ments, SO think we shall remain az
we have been, without national game
and without any special activity In
sports.

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
Not far from the Bleecker street sta
tlon on the Sixth avenue road is a
little court whose name, if il ever had
any, has been blown away and for
gotten. 1t is in the very heart of the
so-called French quarter. When the
lntrequent snow-storm of New York
winter finds the ground cold enough
10 retain the flakes unmelted, the little
court becomes the dumping place of
the snow from the neighboring side
walks and the overhanging roofs.
And when the days and the ther-
mometric mercury elongate stimuli
taneously, and the snow becomes slush
and disappears into the soil, the sewer.
and the atmosphere, the French bows
of the quarter bring out a big iron
frog, and stand it up in the further
end OF the court, and pitch pennies
into Its mouth for hours at time, for
fun and profit. 1t is one of their most
popular games, and, to certain ex-
tent, Is typical of French sport. For
1t seems that what Americans under
stand as sport is little known in
France, and little admired by the
French. Not all their recreations are
colored with gambling, but very few
are calculated to develop muscular
prowess, or require it. Contests for
champion-belt in pugilism, or the |
badge of championship in rowing, or
IN walking, or in running, or in any |
OF the scores of exercises so popular |
on this side of the water, are prac-
tically unknown in France. Neverthe-
less, the French residents of America
have furnished some of the best-known
in several fields, and the
undisputed champions in the one or
two departments of sport that they
pay considerable attention TO at home.
Monsieur Alphonse Dumont, Paris
ian who is visiting this country, and
spending part of his time in this
city, said on this subject:
"The Frenchman cares little to con-
Test in anything where mere muscul ar
ability is at an advantage. He pursues
sport as he does art-striving to de-
Eelop its fine points, aiming to become
expert, and admiring only the skill

French and American ideas of sport
may be seen in this, for in hare-and.
hounds as played in this country on
foot the course Is rarely less than IF
teen miles long. 1t is evidently not a
sport for France. M. Dumont contin-
ued: AHf
"At the country fairs, with which all
Americans are familiar through the
comic opera, for what opera ever was
written that did not include as one of
It's scenes q country fair in France,
there are various physical diversions
that are more or less in vogue here in
modified forms. Perhaps the most
popular is pounding Bismarck's head.
In this game the player strikes with q
mallet on an image of Bismarck, and
according to the force of tho blow on
the skull with which it is delivered. a
bolt shoots up in slot in an upright
plank. The game is of course to see
who can send the bolt up the highest.
Then the chasing of a CREASED pig needs
no explaining, suppose. The best
iun with creased pig, however, is to
be found in Paris itself. There they
take pig into one of the swimming
houses in the Seine, such as / have
spoken of, and having creased his tail
throw him into the water. Then the
swimmers who are contesting for the
prize, which is the pig, follow and
try to bring him to land. 1t is great
port, assure you"

pense of skill and the mental faculties,
as it seems to me the Americans do"
The theory of NJ. Dumont, that the
governmental compulsory training
kills any desire for or possibility of
general games, is corroborated by the
fact that though the French In this
city have their annual balls, their
clubs and societies; though they OBJ
serve the great fete days of France by
picnics, parades, and public meetings.
and in other ways keep alive the ma
tional spirit. they have no gymnasium
even in which to cultivate or keep in
tact the physical training they have
received across the water.

Miss shattuck's Three Days Fast
IEmmet CJeb.l letter.

Many thrilling incidents and many hair
breadth escapes might be related, but
will mention only one, and that briefly:
Miss Ettie Shattuck, caught in the storm
near dwelling house, became blinded and
bewildered, and couldn't find the house.
Realizing she was lost, she fell on her
knees and prayed God to lead her to q
haystack and protect her through the
storm. Rising and stumbling forward she
soon ran up against o stack on the prairie
and dug into It with her hands and COW
cred herself with hay, and the snow
drifted over her to such an extent that she
was imprisoned there from Thursday noon
until Sunday night when she was found
and rescuedD without food or drink,
period Of seventy eight hours. A hungry
wolf howled around her frequently, and .
friendly mouse nibbled her hand. She
was badly frozen, but is In good spirits and
slowly recovering.

horsemen start from given point at a
set time, and mark their course by
scattering bits of paper as they go.
They stop not for barriers of any de-
scription and disdain roads. The pack,
also ON horseback. pursue them and
catch them IL they can. This game is
always accompanied by considerable
concourse of spectators in carriages,
who keep up with the pursuit as best
they can by driving along the roads. It
is great game, and calls for the exer-
else of no little nerve and vigor. The
courses are from fifteen to twenty miles
in length"
A striking difference between the
