Fighting Horses

Theodore Roosevelt is contributing
series of separate papers on Ranch
Life to The Century which Frederic
Remington illustrates from his own
experience. From the "Ilome Ranch"
IN the March number we quote the
following: "Some horses, of course,
are almost incurably vicious, and
must be conquered by main force.
One pleasing brute on my ranch will
at times rush at man open-mouthed
like wolf, and it is regular trick
of the range-stallions. In great
many-indeed, in most-localities
there are wild horses to be found,
which, although invariably of do
mestic descent, being either them
selves runaways from some ranch or
Iudian outfit, or else claiming such
for their sires and dams, yet are quite
as wild as the antelope on whose do
main they have intruded. Ranch
men run in these wild horses when
ever possible, and they are but little
more difficult to break than the So
called tame animals. But the wild
stations are, whenever possible, shot /;
both because of their propensity for
driving oil the ranch mares, and be-
cause their imcurable viciousness
makes them always unsafe compan-
ions for other horses still more than
for men. A wild stallion fears no
beast except the grizzly, and will not
always finch from an encounter with
il; yet it is a curious fact that jack
will almost always kill one in fair
fight. The particulars Of fight of
this sort were related to me by cat
tie man who was engaged in bring
ing out blooded stock from the East.
Among the animals under his charge
were two great stations, one gray
and one black, and fine jackass, not
much over half the size of either of
the former. The animals were kept
in separate pens, but one day both
horses got into the same Enclosure,
next to the jack-pen, and began to
fight as only enraged stations can,
striking like boxers with tlleir fore
feet, and biting with their teeth. The
gray was getting the best of 1t; but
while clinched with his antagonist in
one tussle they rolled against the jack
pen, breaking II in. No sooner was
the jack at liberty than, with his
ears laid back and mouth wide open,
lie made straight for the two horses,
who had for the moment separated.
The gray turned to meet him, rearing
on his hind legs and striking at him
with his fore feet; but the jack slip
ped in, and in minute grasped his
antagonist by the throat with his
wide-open jaws and then held donlike
a bulldog, all -four feet planted stiflly
In the soil, The stallion made tre-
mendous efforts TO shake him of; he
would try to whirl round and kick

SINKING FORK.

SINKING Fork, Feb. 2S, 'SS.-The
weather was 30 pleasant for few
days last week that farmers began to

him, but for that the jack was too
short then he would raise up, lifting
the jack of the ground, and strike al
hlm with his fore feet; but all that
he gained by this was to skin his foe's
front legs without making him loose
his hold. Twics they fell, and twice
the stallion rose. by main strength
dragging the jack with him; but all
in vain. Meanwhile the black horst
attscked both the combatants with
perfect imparIiallty, striking and
kicking them with his hoofs, whil'
his teeth, as they slipped off the
tough hides, met with snap like
that of bear trap. Undoubtedly
the jack would have killed at least
one of The horses had not the men
come up, and with no small difficult,
separated the maddened brutes."

The March number of "Woman"
more than fulfils the promise CT that
excellent magazines earlier issues.
In literary quality "Woman" stands
second TO no periodical of the day,
and in its illustrated features, as well
as its mechanical construction, 1t has
already asserted a footing for itself
in close companionship with the best
of the older magazines. The num-
Der before us Is embellished with a
froDtispiecc by Gleeson, represent
ing the famous stairway of rock on
the Island of Capri, which in turn is
itself embellished with an exquisitely
touching tale by Beatrice Preaswood
King, relatinga romance of that spot,
famous in Italian love story since the
DAYS of the Caesars. Thomas Stevens,
who Travelled around the globe on a
bicycle, gives an entertaining account
of the manner in which women in
Afghanistan are kept so absolutely
in the background as to justify the
traveller In bestowing upon that re-
gion the name of "The Womanless
Land" The principle article, how
ever, in the March "Woman," Is a
thrilling recital of some of the hor-
rors and .abpminations Of Polygamy,
written by Kate Field, whose inves-
LEGATIONS of Mormanism have shed
so much light upon the iniquities of
that institution. The story of Miss
Field relates is literally true, and re-

and brutallties which women in
Utah encounter at the hands of their
"saintly" lords and masters. An en-
tertaining local sketh, descriptive of
the Isle of Wight in the winter sea-
son, is contributed by Sarah L. Roys.
Frederick Schwatka, whose literary
fame bids far to eclipse his celebrity
as daring Arctic explorer, describes,
in lively style the Alaska seal fisher
les. Edgar Fawcctt, the distln-
guished novelist, gives the opening
chapters of a society novel, located
principally in New York City, enti-
tied "a Demoralizing Marriage"
which will be read with the eager
interest his fictions always excite,
and the successive portions of which
will be looked for with pleasurable
anticipation. All the foregoing ar
ticles are illustrated in the finest
style of engraving art. The depart
ment of poetry is represented by a
spiritual sonnet by Il. II. Stokes, ID.
d. "The Archer Boy" with illustra-
tion, by Chas. Il. Clay; "To My

lively poem, yesterday and To: day."
