their head, although some of them as
well as the men wear as good clothes
as anybody. They are all good horse
back riders and ride tie same as men.
1t is nothing unusual to see n squaw
horseback with pappoose tied on a
board, strapped on her back, it's little
face turned to the sun, seemingly per-
fectly oblivious to the burning rays,
and at other times getting its dinner
in spite of the iolting of the horse. A
couple of squaws were in town the
other day and INDUCED in too much
fire-water. Then they gave a free ex-
hibition of horseback riding on a
bucking cayuse or broncho. 1t was
better than three ring act.
A cayuse is an animal that weighs
about 5000 pounds, 800 pounds be-
ing flesh and blood and the remainder
pure develishness; it has more concen-
trated evil to the square inch than
Cain had altogether. When you
start to get on his back the first
thing you will find out after you come
too is that he started to scratch his
earwith his hind foot just as you was
getting on and you got in the way of
it. The next time you try to get on
you will take a gentle grip on the
bride and with yell make flying
leap for his back; the chances are that
you will get there and will think your
troubles are ended, but they haven't.
The incarnation of sin will start off
at a swift gallop and after going
twenty rods or so with a most beau
tiful disregard of rein will stop so
suddenly that you will think he was
shot. But no! 1t is his way of saying
get off, and you will get off by MAX
ing lovely half circle over his head
and landing on your head, if lucky,in
a pile of sand about ten feet ahead of
the brute. After a while when you
get up and get the sand out of your
eyes and mouth you will look around
and see the animal a short distance
off chewing a wisp of grass as if moth
ing had happened. You can catch
him easily enough as he knows he can
get away whenever he wants to. You
get onto his back again and some
one tells you to move your bride
rein right and left across his neck in
stead of pulling it as done in the east.
He will now go where you want him
to. Pretty soon he will see another
bunch of grass he wants or gets tired
and then withoutan warning he will
make a sudden jump in the air, you
will think that is nice, he goes up so
easily, but when he comes down you
will think you had been dropped. He
will come down on each foot separate
lywith an individual jar for each foot.
By the time he has done this three or
four times you will find a secure rest
ing place on the mother sod.
They are very plentiful and conse-
quently cheap. The prices ranging
from So to $50 each.

A Practical Sermon.

A number of years ago, says an
English exchange, Parson B-preach-
ed to a congregation in a provincial
town. A profound theologian was
Parson b, as a published volume
of his sermons evinces. But like
many of the clergymen of the past
generation, he was rather given to
preach "doctrinal sermons" to the
exclusion of practical themes at least
so thought one of the parishioners,
Mr.. c.
"Mr. B." said he one day to the
clergyman, "we know all about the
doctrines by this time. Why don't
you give us, occasionally at least,
q real practical sermon?"
ooh, very well, if you wishit. Next
Sunday will preach a practical SER
mon."
Sunday morning came, and an un-
usual number, attracted by the prom
ised novelty, were in attendance. The
preliminary services were through
with, and the parson gave out his
text. After "opening his subject" +"
he said he should make a practical
application of it to his hearers. He
then commenced at the head of the
aisle, and called each member by
name, and commented upon their
special faults. One was little in
clined to indulge in creature comforts
and another was a terrible hand at n
bargain, and so on. While in mid
volley the door opened and DIR. S.
entered.
"There," continued the parson,
sis DR.. s. coming in just as usual, at
the middle of the service and dis
turbing the whole congregation. He
does it just to make people believe he
has so large practice that he can't
get time to come to church in season;
but it isn't so. He hasn't been call
ed to visit a patient on Sunday morn
ing for three months"
Thus went on the worthy clergy
man. At last he came to c., who
had requested the practical sermon.
"And now," said he, there is Mr..
c.. He's a merchant; and what
does he do? Why, he stays at home
and writes business letters. If he gets
up a lot of goods from London on
Saturday night he goes to the shop
and marks them on Sunday, so as to
have them ready for Monday morn
ing. That's how he keeps the Sab
bath; and he isn't satisfied with doc
trinal sermons. He wants practi-
cal sermon"
At the conclusion of the sermon the
parson stepped up to Mr.. c. and
l.. I, h. ,ff fanI
sermon.
"Mr. B., you can preach just what
you please after this. l shall not
again attempt to direct you."-Chris-
tan Union.
