something hidden in his belt and shows his
teeth. The other, with an iron hand upon
tho reins, checks for an instant his flying
sledge and keeps pace with his old enemy.
One of the struggling horses, arrested in his
fight for life, neighs and plurges to be Free
The bells clash and jangle; for moment
the hungry Threats behind are silent; over
all the moon shines bright and cold, bring
ing out every detail of the scene as clearly
as daylight could.
Rollo Svantsen speaks first
''Ah, friend Skien, thou wilt have to 90
at a greater pace than thy present jog if
Joksdal is to SEQ thee again. Graabaen

nearer to thee than thou art to home Wilt

'tAt last we meet them" gasped the other.
II had rather seen thee than the truest
friend and strongest horse in Norway At
last thou art in my hand, Rollo Svantsen.
Nay, stay thy horses, or I will do it for
thee.'
Fool! Thou do it, Couldst thou stop me
q year agol Then think not to hold back
these mad brutes here by an act of thine. -
For answer Skien leveled pistol at the
head of the horse nearest him. The barrel
flashed in the moonlight like knife, and
Svantsen, choking in his throat the cry of
horror that rose in it, pulled at the reins,
and nearly overturned the vehicle he drove.
This is no time for jesting, mani" he
cried leap by me, and do it quickly, or we
shall both be lost"
"And why not? Thou hast left me moth
ing to live for. Every thing that was good
to me in the world has been taken by thee;
now 1t is my turn, and could slay thee, but
that had rather leave to those behind"
While the horses were nearly dislocating
his shoulder joints, Svansten made an an

Ito-hand battles with gaunt, draggled brutes

the strong vulpine smell of their kind, and

It was notable and terrific battle while
i lasted, and forms topic for conversation
t. this day in Joksdal. Half the dogs were
Alled, and more than one brave man who
l1shed to the rescue will carry deep tokens
Q, the fight to his grave. Svautsen came
worst off. His left arm was badly torn, and
ole bite in his throat must have been fatal
md the brute who made it jumped q little
stronger. Skien fought like a demon, and
escaped marvellously, with scarce more
tfnn an ugly scratch or two One horse
did where it fell, the other escaped with
its life, but was ruined for all practical pur-
poses. Svantsen's wife, however, looked to
itthat the excellent beast should live the
remainder of his days in honored idleness.
And the wolves, though decisively beaten,
ctn not be deemed disgraced. Upon the
field they left four and twenty slain and
stme eight or nine wounded to the death.
Deeply detected, torn, maimed and ex-
hsusted, the survivors got back to their
dsolate forest homes; and, maybe, the God
that sees at to let them live, provided an
adequate meal before the moon had set.
For, mark you, those wolves, without OK
aGly approaching the fact, had achieved q
great and splendid work. They had brought

derstood.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. l2.-The annual con
federation OF the American Federation
of Labor met at Turner's hall, and after
speeches of welcome took a recess.
After the report of the committee on
rules President Gompers read his report,
which was quite lengthy. He dwelt
with especial emphasis upon the ne
cessity for a reduction in the hours of
labor. President Gompers urged that
the subject of assessment not exceeding
5 cents per week to aid afflicted organi'
cations engaged In a strike be kept con
stantly before the members so they may
see the necessity and benefit of adopting
this measure. The proposition was de-
feated when last submitted. Referring
to strikes President Gompers condemned
the men who were continually decrying
them. Strikes were not looked upon
with favor, but to know when to strike,
md particularly when not to strike, is q
science not yet fully understood.
After the announcement OF the stand
ing committees the convention adj

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 12.-The Cherokee
Strip Livestock association will have
some difficulty in holding the Cherokee
strip. Although the bill granting the
lease passed the council, u good sized
minority OF the Indians oppose 1t. A
large number of Cherokees favor stock
ing the strip themselves, and others
want to take In a few outside capitalists
as partners and raise stock. Seven of
the principal C%herokees arrived here
to see what could be done.

Cherokees. and stock the land.

Presidents, Names,

It is a singular coincidence that there
is only one exception to the rule that
candidates for president whose names
end in N are elected. TiIden is the only
exception. There have been a surprising
number Of presidents with the N on the
termination of their names-Washing-
ton, jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van
Buren,, Harrison, Buchanan, Lincoln and
Harrison. The Republicans had a double
chance, because both of their candidates
ame end with N, while the Democratic
candidate for vice president, Thurman,
could not overcome such heavy odds.
The presidents elected without an N at
the termination Of their names were not
pitted against the unconquerable N. The
president-elect, according to superstitious
traditions, was lucky to have only one
given name. This recalls the fact that
fifteen of III presidents, and Harrison
will make the sixteenth, have had only

Beauty Of American women,s Feet.

American women have made Paris
their second home for so long that there
Is little to be said about their demeanor
here. They are great favorites with
~dressmakers, and especially admired for
their little feet. The French shoemakers
say that they shave down the lasts of
even the Spanish women to ft the beau
tiful American foot. A well arched foot
looks better in a boot THANH in a shoe, and
1t is sad to see a foot crumpled up in a
tight slipper and q too high heel, q per-
feet piece of Chinese deformity. To do
Americans Justice, they do not have to
squeeze their feet to make them lock
small, and the only advice to give them
Is to go to England for their walking
shoes and to learn to walk more.-Paris

That Ended 1t.

Some of the greatest orators the world
eve produced have shone their brightest
when some incident or impertinent ques-
ton drew them out. The eloquent and
erratic Tom Marshall, of Kentucky, was
u G delivering an address in Buffalo,
N. Y. AS was usual, he began in a low
tone of voice. Some one in the rear of
the hall yelled Louder, louder" several
times. Marshall stood the interruption
some time, then advancing to the front
of the platform, he raised his impressive
voice to a tone hat everybody could
hear, and said: "When the last great day
comes and the angel Gabriel blows his
trump to waken the quick and the dead,
then, / suppose, some did cuss from
Buffalo will yell louder, louder" That
ended further interruption.-St. Louis

The committee on funds reported ia,
voring the leyying Of strike assessments
on afiiliating unions.
President Gompers took the floor In
support of the report. He recommended
that the levy should be voted on by unions
as q body This brought N the
constitutional point that the matter must
be submitted to the individual members.
After considerable debate, in which II
was plain that the delegates were unani.
mously In favor OF establishing a method
of procuring strike funds from the at.
flllaLed unions, the subject matter was
referred back to the committee as it had
been amended.
The committee ON organization re.
ported fayoring thetsappointment OF or,
ganizers and the immediate strengthen.
ing of the weaker unions. One delegate
declared that there are 80, 900 unorgan-
lied coal miners In Pennsylvania, and
that they arc Mt the mercy OF the EN-.
ployers; they should he solidiy organized
at once. The reporS also favors the
amendment of the { constitution of the
United States and that national child la
Dor and compulsory educational laws
may be passed. This brought out a dis
cussion which came near revealing the
politics of every delegate present. The
matter went over by default, discussion
having revealed the fact that 1t was q
rather comprehensive question and mat
tiers OF more Importance should first bt
considered.
The secretary then read q number O
requests, resolutions, etc. and they were
raferred to different committees.

With troubles enough of your own.

So easily out Of mind,
These chances to be angels
Which ave mortals find
They come In night and silence.
Each child reproachful wrath,
When hope Is faint and tagging.
And a blight has dropped on faith
For life is all too short, dear.
And sorrow Is oil too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it's not the thing you do, dear.
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you the bitter heartache
At the setting Of the sun.

Buckley said he joined the Fenians at
Tralee in 1880. In 1872 a man named
Roach was expelled from the National
League for causing the arrest of a
leaguer. At q Fenian meeting it was
arranged that the witness, with two
Others whose names were Fitzgerald
and Phoenix, should shoot Roach.
After several unsuccessful attempts
to kill their man, a meeting
was held at Casey's house,
at which the witness was asked II he
would shoot Roach If the League pro.
yided funds for his escape to America.
Witness consented, and soon after met
Roach and shot at him, but the revolver
missed fire. Roach took to his heels and
escaped. Witness was arrested, but got
off by swearing to an alibi. The league
gave him ESQ to go to America.
