PLUCKY YOUNG WRAY.

HIS GALLANT FIGHT WITH INDIANS
AGAINST wHELMING ODDS.
Three days after the battle OF
White River, in which the gallant
Thornbnrg lost his life, Fireman u.
Wiay, an 1S.year.Old boy, who was
IN charge of cattle foriy-6ve miles
north of White River agency, was
attacked by band of savages, says
the Philadelphia Press. He con.

so good Il defence that they betOOk

another ball caught him at the hip
and Knocked him down. With a
whoop and yell the savages ran
toward the spot, expecting to take
their plucky foe prisoner. But they
were again fooled, for Wray was
only down temporarily, and getting
to his feet again scrambled into
the wagon where lay his ammuni.

beans on top OF that and took hold
of such other articles within reach

Rapidly cutting a hole IN the
canvass wagon cover, he saw the
Indians approaching. Leveling his
rifle he fired at the foremost of his
pursuers, the ball taking effect.
This threw the indians into con-
fusion, and they retreated into the
raviDe. They threw a hail.storm
of bullets into the wagon, and one
of these caught young Wray IN
the right eye and lodged there.
The Indians finally retreated.

CuItiVatIng Colt Courage.

A horse that is naturally cour-
ageous may be made cowardly by
abuse. If he often receives blows
the fear of them is uppermost, and
any unknown noise Is imagined to
be a coming hurt, TO escape which
Is an uncomfortable impulse.
Forgetting that temper is the val
liable quality of the horse its
owner tries to "break" its temper
to COW the animal. The horse
should be trained, not broken and
training requiring Grm ness mixed
with much kindness. AS abuse
will make it cowardly, 80 kindness
will make it courageous. The ba-
sis OF courage Is confidence, and
the first point Is to secure conf
dence of the colt. The next is to
make the colt sure OF his surround
ings. 1t he has confidence in his
trainer this will not be difficult.
If he SHES at a stump or a rock,
ride or drive him up to II. Drive
him nearer and nearer to the cars
until he is DO longer afraid of them.
Have the whistle sounded when
his head is turned toward it, and
repeat this TILL he ceases to start at
the sound. Handle his limbs snd
touch them with a strap until he
no longer shriuks.
The courageous horse, the one
with the spirit trained, not broken,
! is the horse that does the most
work. Among horses, it is the one
with trained spirit, with fine tell
per, thai does the least harm, the
most work, and in danger acts
quickly and intelligently.-Er'
