A HORSE STORY.
A Mustangs Struggle to Join a Herd
of wild Horses,
[From the St. Louis Star. ]


Mike DAILY is probably one of the most
widely known wild horse traders in the
west He was not quite born in the sad
die, but he came within five minutes of
that fate. His mother was an equestrian
queen, and her life was divided between a
washtub and broncho's ranch. Moore's
ranch up on the Platte was his hang-out
then. The Laclede is now.
''Near the forks of the North and South
Platte" he said to Star reporter, 81 once
saw spectacle that made my nerves tin
gle, and would give great deal to see
once more such u magnificent display of
horsehesh. There were about two hun
dred animals in the drove. The sun had
just come up over the plains when l came
out in front of them from a little grove
where l had camped during the night.
was ON the back of my own mustang. He
lifted his head high into the air, began to
| paw the earth with his fore feet, and be-
gan to snort in most aristocratic manner.
Every animal lifted his head on hearing
| the cry of welcome from my steed, formed
| in circle and stood still.
lone magnificent black stallion, who
appeared to be the leader of the troop, af-
ward me with an easy, graceful stride
from the opposite side and took a position
in front of his followers. He was the
| finest specimen of horse / ever saw.
His tail swept the ground and his main
hung to his shoulders. His body shone
| like a looking glass in the morning sun
light. He looked as if he had just re-
ceived most fiattering attention from an
experienced groom. Some of the animals
appeared neglected, but the majority were
| sleek-looking.
| the sight that made haste to tie him to a
tree. Soon after I jumped from my
horses back the black stallion gave his
head toss and started on rapid trot
across the prairie, the entire band follow
ing him in single file. After going about
half mile away the band returned, the
magnificent black still in the lead. They
came within one hundred yards of me,
and the leader whinnied as if to invite my
horse to come and join them.
my poor Jack! 1 felt so sorry for him.
He stood looking at the wild rovers, his
lariat drawn taut, and at the call from the
leader made the most frantic efforts to
join the wild band and thus forever put
an end to his drudgery. Sweat came
from every pore, he was so excited, and
his body was covered with foam, as if he
had just finished thirty-mile run. was
afraid he would succeed in breaking away
so fired my rifle into the air to frighten
the drove, and the leader took the hint
and scampered off across the plain, fol
lowed by the others. 1 watched them un
til they were out of view, and actually
wished were one of them, they looked sc
centented. I have since looked upon q
magnificent collection of horses, but thai
sight was the grandest ever witnessed.

THE FARMERS, TRUST,

The farmers grain and live stock trust
is going to be big affair if all goes we'll.
1t is to include the States of Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. Frank Nc
Grath, president of the Farmers alliance,
is reported saying that district alliances
are being formed in every congressional
district, and arrangements are in progress
for building cold storage and grain depots
Mr.. McGrath promises great things, the
chief of which are these The trust will
know all about the supply of grain and
cattle and all about the demand for
them. Upon this information the
demand will be supplied, and no more.
at fixed price determined by the
alliance. No option wheat will be
on the market. There will be no specu-
lating on grain before harvest. The COM
mission each day will wire farmers to
send in a certain amount of wheat or cat
tie, as the case may be, calling on the
ones who are hardest pressed for cash.
The amount demanded to supply the mar
ket that day will be apportioned among
the districts equally, and in turn appor-
toned by the district alliance. No farmer
who is a member of the alliance will sell
his products till called upon. "We mean
to ascertain the exact cost of the product
and add reasonable profit to it. This
will give us standard price that can be
easily maintained"
This is good idea. Too good, we
think, to work in this wicked and com
petitiye world

TibeIan Woman Painted Black.


The women are tall as the men, much
more fully developed, and frequently quite
good looking. But the iron rule of fashion
forces them to hide their rosy cheeks un-
der thick coating of ten ja,a black, sticky
paste made of catechu. This is to preserve
their complexion from the cutting wind
so say those who are natter-of- fact, but
others tell different tale. More than a
hundred years ago there lived at Lh'asa a
great saint named Demo RinpOch'e, who
did much TO restore the purity Of monastic
life, which had greatly suffered under the
licentiOus rule of the sixth pOntiff of
Lh'asa, Ts'ang yang jyatso. Canon law
says that when a monk goes abroad he
must keep his eyes fixed on the ground
some little distance ahead of him, looking
neither to the right nor to the left; but
the rosy cheeks and bright eyes of the
women caused the lamas to forget this law
and great disorders ensued. Demo Rim
poch'e then commanded that no woman
should go abroad unless her face was well
besmeared with black, and soon this be-
came a fashion throughout the whole
country.
Time and again tried to induce girls in
the houses where / was stopping to wash
their faces clean, promising them beads
and other ornaments; but in vain. They
said they washed only when the feasts
came around, some four or five times &

authority to practice the healing art OF
certificates to be issued by State boards
The Milwaukee Sentinel, one of whose
editors is physician, opposes all such
legislation and says: "The history OF
medicine is record of delusions, of long
maintained and suddenly abandoned
fallacies, of learned quackery and sincere
folly. As far as the State is concerned,
it does not know, it cannot know, that a
knowledge of what are called the funda-
mental branches of medicine is essential
to the successful treatment of he sick or
that the absence of such knowledge dis
qualities one for the successful treatment
of the sick" Whewl
A bill intended to meet long felt want
has been introduced in the South Dakota
legislature. Its main provisions are that
when thirty voters shall petition for irri-
cation in the district where they live the
State engineer of irrigation shall select
proper sites for nine six-inch or sixteen
four and one-half inch artesian wells. An
election shall then be held to vote bonds of
the township. If they are voted the su-
pervisors shall then sink these wells and
rent the water to such farmers as wish it
at rate of : per cent. of the value of the
bonds, and the title to the water shall go
with the title to the land so long the
rent is paid. This protects the local farm
er from the extortions of private monop-
oily, such as the great loan and investment
companies propose, and is apparently the
best means of giving him security in rails
ing his crops.

A DEMOCRAT.

Governor Hill has again shown that he
is Democrat by again refusing to ''recog-
nize' Governor Bulkeley. If the Repub-
licans keep on gaining in New York
Governor Hill may ultimately be unable
to recognize himself. 1t is not surprising
that the people of the State are getting
tired of the great and only Democrat. In
the first of January they have seen him
coolly take United States senatorship
in violation of pledges to at least two
other aspirants that he would not take it
and would exert his influence in their
favor. They have seen him refuse to
give up the governorship after obtaining
possession of the senatorship, and they
have had no difficulty in seeing also that
he is holding the two Offices at once in
order to retain his control of the political
machinery of the State for his
own personal advantage. They have
seen also that he has united openly
with the organized liquordealers of the
State in support of measure which, if it
becomes law, Will enable the dealers to
have the liquor business of the State con-
trolled and regulated as they themselves,
rather than the respectable and orderly
elements of the population, shall prefer.
They have seen also that the governor, in
violation of his oath of office and of all
official propriety, has refused to surrender
fugitives from justice from neighboring
State in order that he might gain a little
partisan glory for himself as q democrat,
there being no legal defence for his course
and no other result of it than to make New
York State harbor of refuge for crimi-
nails.
Quite record. A man would need to
be good deal of Democrat in order to
make much progress with it.

What is the best food for a singeri" is
a question very often asked of me, and of

to be well in voice, and good health is alb

To lead regular life is also absolutely es-
sential, and yOung-and indeed all-ar-
tistcs, if they wish TO excel, must live for
their art alone, and must give up a great
many pleasures" but if this, as ii
should do, enables the artistic to become
great, then they will have their reward for
all sacrifices.
To be artistes they should live as ar
tistes-go whenever possible to hear and
to see fine singing and fine acting: endeav-
or to see fine pictures. fine statues: read
clever books and the biographies of great
men and great historical characters: TO
live, in fact, in an atmosphere of art and
of intellect, which will help them far more
than at first they may be disposed to think
in their own artistic career.

MEXICANs ALL CAMILLE.
II is the Ruling Craze, and Even Chill
dren Indulge in II.

IFrom the Chicago News.
Gambling is the ruling passion in Mex
ico," said Charles F Hughes of the City of
Mexico, who is Palmer house guest, while
on his way to New York.
Every one, from children ten and twelve
years of age to old men and women, indulge
in it, Every member of every class of So
ciety tries to win the favor of the tickle
goddess Fortune, for gambling is not
looked upon by Me1icans as most glaring
vice, as it is by Northerners. The former
are more lenient in the matter of public
morals. Each saloon has various games of
chance, but the whir of the wheel and the
click of the ball one notes after passing va
rious Jealous gaurds in the resorts in your
city are seldom heard there. Monte is the
national Mexican game, as faro and poker
are the American, and rouge-et-noir and
baccarat the French. Monte tables are run
within sight of the passers-by: of course
these of which l now speak are the public
games wherein all who wish may partici-
pate. Private games of monte are quite
common in some of the homes of the
wealthiest citizens of the balmy country
Poker is also popular game, and the
stakes are frequently very high.
''At one home to which l am often invi-
ted there are four admirers of the game,
and each one is shrewd and calculating.
This quartet is composed of father, mother,
son and daughter. OF course the stakes
for which they play are only enough to
make it interesting but the fact remains
that the parents encourage more or less the
youthful members of the family in the fas-
cinating pastime But instead of looking
at the matter in the light of a more rigid
disciplinarian, the father, "a well-to-do mer-
chant, often speaks of the clever way in
which his daughter-or son, as the case
may be-'called his bluff and his wife
proudly exhibits dazzling pair of dia
mOnd earrings she won from him with

'.In alleys, upon street corners, in old
buildings, and in every accessible place
street boys and girls can be found playing
with some device for gambling. To take
gambling from Mexicans would mean to
deprive them of their most fascinating
