Representatives TO a Washington Sunday

"Oh, you we got Mr.. Hyde side to your

"I'm glad 1 found it out. What sort of a
dose do you take to develep it?''
"Well, I've had to take dose enough in
the last two weeks to make Hyde out of
the angel Gabriel, it seems to me-" the
statesman continued. ''These confounded
oficeseekers give man no rest, night or
day. Those who have the least claim on
you are the most bothersome. They won t
take no for an answer. If you manage to
escape them here at the Capitol, they follow
you to your house. If you don't see them
there they hang around and waylay you on

weeks. In that time he has called by actual

SLAUGHTERED As WOLVES ARE.
Round Up of AHteiopes In a Barbed Wire
Enclosure in Wyoming.

Round- Up of AHteiopes In a Barbed Wire
Enclosure in Wyoming.
New York SUM-
An interesting story of an antelope hunt
in Wyoming was told in downtown gun
store the other day. But, though interest
ing, it was by no means cheering to the
of all game by useless slaughter. 1t appears
that large ranch in Wyoming was man
aged by an Engllshmsn and owned chiefly
by Englishmen, although there was some
American capital invested. The ranch in
cluded Is sections of land, and was laid out
three miles wide by six long. The whole
was enclosed by tive-Eire buckthorn fence
of the most substantial character. Large
breadths had been sown to wheat, and so
last spring, after warm weather came, the
antelopes gathered from great distances to
eat the young grain.
To the mind o. the English manager of
the estate this called for a violent remedy.
The antelopes must be extermiuated. He
therefore sent for his friends around about,
and a party was gathered as if for wolf
hunt Mounting their horses, they formed
a line across one end of the plantation, and
then rode slowly toward the opposite end,
intending to corner the game and then shoot
it down com fortably, just as the natives in
Africa drive game into V shaped corral
and butcher it. The men in line were
armed with repeating rifles. Before more
than half the ground was covered, two
or three of the party became so excited
over the appearance of the game
that they opened fire. Antelopes that
were from 1900 to 1900 yards away were
shot at with the effect of alarming them and
causing many OF them to stampede back
through the line before it had closed in
sufficiently to make the slaughter COM
plete.
In all II antelopes were killed in the
roundup, and it is supposed dozen more
were wounded, but escaped. That was bad
enough, though not so bad as other round
ups which were probably held afterward
were likely to be. 1t seems particularly un-
fortunate that an animal like the antelope
should be slaughtered in such merciless
fashion, when it is remembered that save in
Western Texas and in two or three districts
in the northern part of the country the
species is extinct.

CHAPTER XIII.
LAZARUS, LAZARUS, COME FORTH

LAZARUS, LAZARUS, COME FORTH
Before the tomb of Lazarus the people fell
back. They made way ior the Nazarene,
who advanced-silently. His head was still
bowed. He walked like man oppressed
with grief. The sobbing women followed
h;E. A few PAGES before the door of the
tomb, they stopped. A breathless hush fell
upon the crowd; that within the sepulchre
was scarcely deeper. In the silence, bird
upon an olive branch above the tomb began
to sing shrilly; it sang on for some moments
uninterrupted, so intense was the quiet; it
was a merry little gay bird, with bright
plumage, and sang as if it had been sum-
moned to a festival; Abraham, the slave,
being a dull, affectionate fellow, was sorely
displeased with this untimely mirth and
lifted his hand to stone the bird; but slight

in his pocket and excused himself on the

AN ENORMOUS SNAKE SKIN.

Thirteen Feet Long and Nearly Fifteen
Inches In circumference.
Seattle ePost-Intelligencer.l
The skin shed by a rattlesnake which was
found on the bank of the Illinois river, and
is now preserved at the Boys Seminary at
Tahlequah, in the Indian Territory, meas
sured 13 feet long, is 147s inches in circum-
ference, and has 10 buttons. The person
who has examined, measured, and reported
upon it, says that it is very dry skin, and
therefore assumes that it probably shrunk
considerably in drying, but this is not so, as
the skin OF snake is thoroughly dry when
shed, and consequently represents the full
size OF the snake. At any rate, this one Is
big enough without claiming any such al
lowance, and represents poisoning power
which it would take at least barrel of old
Bourbon to counteract.

982-DECAPITATIoN.

The man of t0hoIe is one of nerve,
Who pushes on and does not swerve
Or fail in his endeavOr:
He has an end in view. and he
Pursues it with such energy
As brings him nearer ever.
He does not wait for chance TO bring
Some future day the wished for thing.
But keeps right on pursuing:
Always acting, always working,
Never tagging, never shiTking,
Always up and doing.
The foolish man who trusts to last,
Lets all the golden hours slip past
While he's no effort making:
He's always standing in a pause
And naught accnmplIshes because
He makes no undertaking.
While he is in the poor mans niche,
He sees his neighbor getting rich
BY efforts never Stacking;
He says that he does not succeed,
But falls behind and comes to need
Because in last he's lacking.

THE MAN OF BLOOD AND IRON.
Bismarck the Hero OF Thirty DueIs and Two
Attempted AssnssinnIions.

btsndrck tnc hero oil DuelS ana Two
Attempted AssussinnIious.
New York Herald.I
Bismarck is suspected of having fought
over 80 duels, and that he fought four is
certain. One of them with an Englishman;
but not one was discovered by the authori-
ties. In the official list of punishment his
name figures four times, but only twice for
serious offenses. The first is a sentence of
ten days Imprisonment for officiating as
second in a duel.
Assassins have twice paid Bismarck the
compliment OF attempting to remove him"
The first attempt occurred in 1866, when
Julius Cohen, better known as Blind. an
adopted son.of Karl Blind, shot at him in Ber-
lin. Bismarck clutched his aggressor by
the arm and held him till the police ar
rested him. Blind, or Cohen, committed
suicide in prison.
The second attempt took place in 1874 at
Kissingen, where young mechanic named
Kullmann. who proiessed TO have been i'm
PEELED by hatred of the Chancellor's eccle-
siastical policy, slightly wounded him in the
arm with pistol shot.
