GOOD SHORT STORIES.
Whaling on Horseback.

We can almost see yonr eyes open
wide in wonder at the heading of this
little sketch. Vino ever heard of men
on horseback capturing and killing
whales? And how in the world could
1t be done? Mr.. Holder tells all about
it i'll his delightful book recently pub
llShed. Several years ago a student
who was interested in whales went to
cape Cod to spend the summer, because
he knew that the animals were often
caught there. Here is his description
OF very strange and exciting scene:
The tide was dead low, and had left a
bIg,sandy fiat almost bare. on which the
sea beat furiOuSly aud with a roar that
was deafening, but inside the bar was
a stretch OF water forming little in
closed lake about half mile wide and
from three TO four feet deep This was
comparatively smooth. and in it were
about twenty enormous black objects
tioundering and rushing about, lash
ing the water into foam. and followed
by a dozen or more men. part of whom
were on horseback like ourselves.
1t was school of whale and black
fish. In some way they had been
trapped inside of thu bar. and when the
tide went out they were at the mercy
one was greatly excited. The horses
were urged INTO the water, while their
riders, armed with harpoons, lances.
boat hooks or any other weapon that
happened to be at hand, we're endeavor-
ing to capture as many of the monsters
as possible.
In we plunged. the horses at first
snOrting with terror, but once in the
water they seemed to share the general
excitement and plunged madly after the
excited Sea-hunterS. Here and there
were blacEtiSh that had been wounded
and their tails were beating the water
with terrific force; others were tearing
UP and down with lightning speed.
Soon one of the horses was fairly lifted
from its feet by one of the struggling
fish and thrown sprawling into the
water. A roar of laughter greeted the
rider as he rose from the water.
The men kept up an incesSant yelling
and Splashing. and so gradually forced
the monsters to the creek, if so it could
be called. The great creatures seemed
to know that they were running into a
still more fatal trap, and they made
great efforts to break through the line
OF horses and men. The appearance of
a great, black animal rushing at you,
ffnundering along, beating the water
with blows strong enough to kill horse
or man. gave a strong flavor of danger
to the adventure.
For an hour this was kept up. until
finally, one by one. the animals were
driven upon the ShOal and dispatched.
They were all from fifteen to twenty
five feet long.

The Lot of a Deputy Clerk is Not

The Lot of a Deputy Clerk is Not
Happy One.
If any aspiring applicant for posi-
ton as deputy clerk of the district
court is laboring under the delusion
that to enjoy such job is to draw a
salary and say nothing. let him glance
over the following wrestling match be-
tween Gus Lindberg and Himmel Won
Dumkapp:
The Office door opened slowly as
though horse was backing in. Then
a grizzly head was poked in, the balance
of the visitors anatomy, located some
where outside between the door and
the gutter.
Come in. or shut the door-on the
outside"
"You keep kurt here?''
''No, sir; this is the clerks Office
''Himmel' stumbles in after demur-
ring a request to tie his breath to the
lamppost, and breaks his neck up to the
wire grating in front of the counter.
Sticking his two fingers and two
thumbs between the interstices of the
guard. he ventures:
You vas keep something to git var
heln-raht mite"
''What-say?"
''SOm marriage r-T-ceipt'

"A wasn't mean. L can-no sprechen

''SkOll yah hab ba litta mik?''

"What?''

See here, Mr.. Himme from Bull
Head write your name on-this paper"
''Nein, das was not right"
Il mean write: Write your namen.
Here's pencil
Me can-nO Schriben."
The clerk then induced the perspiring
alien TO pronounce his name again. and
put it down as he understood it-so:
mme-one-dam-kOW;" then turning
to the applicant, he said:

''Well, what's she name?''
"Name-hame; oh, yes. Katerina

"Heh?''
Here was another hitch of about
fifteen minutes. when the clerk tran
scribed the following cognomen to the
license opposite that of the first of the
missing links:
"Catilina Nero sena some-mone cats"
This was enough. The marriage
license was made out after much men
tai swearing. Handing it to the anx-
ious bridegroom, the clerk entered upon
the task of convincing the penurious
duck that two dollars was only half
price for such document He reluct-
antly sheiled out two rusty silver dol
lars, and with them he spilled lot of
tobacco and cigar stumps upon the
counter, which he was allowed to COB

MUST HAVE SAILORS.
Nearly 1000 Men Wanted by the
Navy

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Tho present
force of enlisted men in the navy aggre-
gates about $500 men. 1t is the opinion
of Commodore Schley that force of
$4,000, or nearly 1000 additional, will be
required to equip the vessels already
authorized by congress. 1t is more than
likely that an effort will be made to Sc
cure some sort of provision for these en-
listed men in the navy, so that the gov
eminent can command the very best
type of manhood for its sailors. The
officers are already provided for by the
retired list, Tie last congress arranged
the savings bank system so that the
money which was retained from the
sailors until they were finally paid off
could be deposited with the paymaster
and would draw 4 per cent interest.
This money is non-fOrfeitable for any
cause. except deSertion. Other steps in
behalf of the men are lin consideration.

and that was by Genius and was eXcus-
able. as he tried to get the ball on a run
and failed. although it was so close that
he was cheered to the echo. The game
was a fine exhibition of skill on both
sides, and there were points enough of
interest to keep the crowd good natured,
although, after the visitors made six
runs in the fifth inning. there was little
hope on the part of any one that the
home team could catch up. and subse-
puent events showed that they had lost
their grip on the game. Bunched hits
and the splendid fielding of the visitors
were too much for the Corn HuSkers. al
though they did good work in the field
and did some hard smuggling at times

Tredway's batting was really remarka-
bic. and the way he pounded the leather

also made remarkable running catch

fine running catch in center that won
for him a round of applause. The fact
of the whole business was that the
visitors fell upon Weber and pounded
him numerically. If there have hereto
fore existed any doubts as to the bat
ting qualities of the St. Paul men, the
doubts have now been removed. and if
they keep up at the pace they have
started there is a decided belief here
that they can march at the head of the
procession through the entire season.
The local men played a plucky game
and scored some good points. but they
could not march i'll the same rank with
the Apostles. In the fifth inning. when
the visitors piled up six runs, the local
players got badly ratified. and by door

to-day. The score follows:

TOGETHER IN DEATH.
y Jealous Husband Kills His Wife
and himself

Aria, Ind, April 21.-A double
tragedy was enacted here last night.
whereby the lives of Simeon Houts and
his wife were taken. Both were found
lying crosswise on the bed in the Houts
house. The bed was saturated with
blood. There were three wounds on
the body of Mrs. Houts, one directly
under the left shoulder blade, shot
from the rear, one through the heart
and one through the fieshy part of the
left hand. To take his own life the
husband had made but one shot.
and that sure one, through the heart.
A half hour before the tragedy the
two were down town shopping and ap-
peared in good spirits. They were in
their night clothes when found, and evil
IDENTITY were preparing for bed. No one
witnessed the shooting or heard the
quarrel that led to it. the five children
being in their beds in another
portion of the house. When the
firing commenced the oldest child,
aged twelve, ran to neighbours aud
said: Papa is killing mamma There
is no evidence to show the cause of the
shooting, but it was probably from
jealousy, HoutS doubling that his wife
was true to him. About a year ago he
begun proceeding for divorce. but
settlement was made.

VIENNA, April 21.-There was Sc
rious rioting in this city to-day. aris-
ing out of the strike of tram car drivers.
Workmen in sympathy with the strik-
ers blocked the streets and oyercame
the police. A force of cavalry had to
be called out to queI disorder. Many
persons were injured and large num-
Der arrested.
The majority of the car men of the
city are on strike. The socialists side
with them. The rioting to-day occurred
in the suburbs. The military and police
charged the crowds with swords. Many
of the rioters received bloody wounds
and about a hundred were arrested.
The mob replied by throwing stones.
