The Bronco.

Frederic Remington, the artist,
writes and illustrates an article In the
January Century on the "Horses of
the Plains" We quote few para
graphs as follows: "Some years ago
l drove up to a stage station in the
San Pedro Valley in Arizona, and the
Mexican stock tender had had hard
time in rounding up his stage stock.
His herd pony had been run until. as
he stood there under the shade of
brush corral, covered with foam and
dust, with his belly drawn up almost
to his spine and gasping occasionally
as though it was his last, | felt sure
| should see him die before [ left the
station. I was afterwards told by the
stage master in bluff, matter-of-
course way, in answer to my inquiry,
that he had pulled through all right !:
YOU can't kill them critters : and
now I am perfectly positive that you
cannot.
AS a saddle animal simply, the
bronco has no superior. The 1ope'
is term which should never be APP
piled to that motion 10 any other
| breed of horses. | have watched q
herd of cow-ponies being driven over
the prairie where the undulations OF
the backs in the moving throng were
as regular and easy as the rise anC
fall of the watery waves. The fox
trot. which is the habitual gait of al
plainsmen, cowboys and Indians, il
easily cultivated in him land his light
supple frame accommodates itsel
naturally to the motion.
This particular American hors
laws claim to another quality. which
in nv estimation is not least, ant
that is his wonderful picturesqueness
, He oraces the western landscape, no
t because he reminds us of the equin
, ideal. but because he comes of tn

against utilitarianism but, unlike
his red master, he will not go. He
has borne the Moor, the Spanish con-
oueror, the red Indian, the mountain
man, and the vaquero through all
the glories of their careers; but they
will soon be gone, with all their her
itage of gallant deeds. The pony
must meekly enter the new regime.
He must wear the collar of the new
civilization and earn his oats by the
sweat of his flank. There are no
more worlds for him to conquer; now
he must till the ground"

NV Uncle Peter.

NV old Uncle Peters a famous relater
Ofmarvelous stories; but my Uncle Peter
Is a vigorous foe and a rigorous hater
OF vile and of guile; he despises cheateri
He's frank and sincere ON a very large scale'
And this is his manner of telling a tale
''Oh, once in the chivalric days of old,
In the wonderful long ago,
There dwelt giant full bad and bold
(But this is not fact, you know
In whose darksome dungeon a maiden fair
Whom atrociously he had stole;
She laughed and wept Ito be candid there
Was no such girl, nor hole).
"But To- on "A rapturous morn there rode
A valorous knight that way;
His snowy palfrey he brave bestrode
Don't credit this fiction, pray
And straight he sprang from the noble steed;
His sword it cleaned in the sun,
And the dragon that guarded the gate "a deed
Which he could by no means have done)
ole felled at a blow, and with mighty force
lie battered the dungeon wall.
And he seized the sorrowing maidl (of course
1t never transpired at alp
And he slew the Giant, the dauntless YOUTH
And the beautious maid he wed
CBut you mustn't imagine grain Of truth
In single word I've said)"
! oh, my Uncle Peters famous relaterl
But wish, goodness me that my Uncle Peter
| Could be rather more of a prevaricator-
! His stories would be more absorbing, and neate
| L wish his integrity didn't prevail
In so stern degree-when he's telling tale.

The Snow Fort.
"Let's have some sport ;
Let's build a big fort;

'Let's have some sport;
Let's build big fort;
The storm is all over, the suns coming outp
So said Captain Ned
To Charley and Fred,
And away the three scampcred with whistle and
shout.
In the drifts wide and deep,
They built their walls steep,
And raised high tower the flagstaff to hold;
SO they worked at their play
Through the whole winter day,
Like sturdy young soldiers forgetting the cold.
And there in full sight,
When the next mornings light
Rose cloudless and radiant the world,
Stood the guns ranged m view,
Stood the red, white and blue
Above the brave structure IN beauty uniurled'
Then, "Come! come comet"
Is heard from the drum,
Till all the small townsmen respond to the CALI
Then how they divide
And side against side
What battles are fought with snow powder an
ball.
There they muster each day
For their tournament gay,
Til a thaw stealing on puts an end TO the sport
Before such foe.
SO willy and slow,
No army of soldiers can hold the best fort.
