From the Atlantic Journal
Finally drew up before the Cody resi-
dence, about half mile east of the ranch,
and, with sigh of relief, dsmounted and
tied Mr.. Morgan to the gate post Yes, Mrs.
Cody was at home, the servant said in an
swer to my query. and was ushered into
the most prettily furnished little parlor that
had ever seen. Mrs. Cody came in a few
minutes later and entertained me for nearly
an hour with pleasing "reminiscences of the
lives of herself and her intrepid husband
during the earlier days of frontier life. She
was pleasant, easy, graceful talker, and
fully as handsome O woman as her famous
husband is man. She was from Phila-
delphia, and Cody came from Chester, an
adjoining county. During our converse
ton their little 5-year-old daughter, Irma,
came in and entertained me wi b a lot of
childish prettle about what her father was
doing in Europe after which she gave an
illustration OF how she could play the
piano.
Cody's eldest daughter, Miss Arta, was
not at home. She had gone to the state
fair az Lincoln. Miss Arta was then 81
years Of aga, magnificent, cuecnly -looking
young woman, who was credited with hav-
ing as much courage and self-conhdence as
her father. Many pretty stories of her
pluck are told by the residents of North
Platte. Among them is the following:
Some years ago, when Miss Arta was
about IA years Of age, Cody had in his stable
a large, handsome, high-spirited horse, who
was particularly vicious, so much SO, in
fact, that Cody himself did not care about
riding him. One day Arta concluded that
she would ride this horse, although the sta
bleman sought to dissuade her. She was
determined, however. and succeeded in get>
ting bride on him, and then leapedn MIN bly,
on to his back. The horse reared and
plunged, but the girl kept her seat Finally
the animal threw her. She was up again
in al Instant, aud once more on
his back. This time the animal
threw her over his head, and she
| struck the ground heavily, scratching her
face to a considerable degree. With blood
streaming down her face, her eyes filled
with tears, and her rage SO great that she
looked like young tigress, she sprang 70
her feet crying: The brute, I'll ride him
now If he kills me" and, suiting the action
to the word, gave the horse the most terrible
beating he had ever received, and whe1 she
had completed the animal was as docile as
the proverblal "Old Dobbin," and Miss
Arta rode OF triumphantly. while her
father and the stablemen looked on in as
constituent.
Another illustration of her confidence in
her ability to take care of herself is fur
nished by the fact that one day, during
Cody's first trip to England, she was read
ing letter from him, and at oace decided
that she would like to see her father again.
That was on Wednesday, at North Platte,
Neo., and on the following Saturday she
was on steamer leaving New York for
England, and travelled the entire distance
of over 5000 miles alone

one Of the most engaging Of men. To those
who only have slight acquaintance with
him he appears to be veritable martinez.
he has more enemies, perhaps, than friends;
but people Of both classes agree that he is a
great actor. He is positivist of the posi-

question, and when eagerly discussing some
subject that be has studied, his aggressive
ness is not pleasing to those who do not I'M

me the other day, and drawing
comparison between the theatrical

There Will be less namby-pambyism in the

The English Crieketer at Inkerman.

Wellington said that Waterloo was won
on the cricket field of Elton. He referred
to the gallantry Of his officers, many Of
whom had been trained by the games and
sports Of that famous school. An illus
tration Of the effect of such training in
developing a man limbs and wind was
given at lnkeman, one of the most stub
bOrnly fought battles of the Crimean war:
A young officer, who had learned at
Elton not much from books but a good
deal from its sports, had hot work on that
eventful night. His sergeant fell at his
side. Selling the dead man S rife, he
fired it, emptied his own revolver, drove
his sword through a Russian officer, was
surrounded and made prisoner.
While going to the rear in charge of
two stalwart Russians, he looked at their
long coats and said to himself: They
can't run"
Watching his opportunity, he knocked
one soldier heels over head. threw the
other by a wrestler's trick into the mud,
and took to his heels. Before his guard
ians were on their legs and could fire he
had got over good piece of ground
A Russian lancer made at him; he ran
as if leading an Elton foot race and cleared
a good sized fence. The lancer cleared
it after him, and with lance fixed pressed
the fugitive hard.
A swollen brook, running fiercely,
barred his way. 1t was seventeen feet
wide, but the old Etonian had won the
LONG jump when at school, having
cleared nineteen feet over Chalvey ditch.
He now jumped the brook; the lancer
refused to follow, and the young officer
ran back into the English lines.
''Hurrah for Eton!'' he shouted, as a
school fellow shook his Misunderstanding

to fence the art Of boxing, the wrestling
dodge, the high jump, the long jump,

SnmIn er-EaIInWinn.

Angus Mckay of the experimental
farm at Indian Head, Manitoba, urgently
recommends summer following the rich
prairie lands of the Northwest for wheat.
The reasons he gives for this practice are
clear and convincing, and are as follows:
" We fallow for one reason, and that is
that by doing so sufficient moistere is
stored up and retained in the soil to
overcome a few dry days or weeks the
following year when our crops are grow
ng. Experience has shown that in the
Northwest, where the rainfall is very
uncertain, something more has to be
done to withstand a hot July than to
turn over stubble in the fall and SOW
next spring. No matter how well the
work is done or how carefully the seed is
sewn, one or two hot days in July may
ard often do entirely ruin the crop. |
need not point to 1889 or other years pre-
ceding this as evidence. Neither will any
amount of work in spring blowing avail
| II the season is dry. While spring ploW-
ing is more sure than fall blowing, vet a
settler is risking his whole years work
on an uncertainty if he follows and re-
| lies on either of the two ways just men
toned. Now it is equally certain that if
and is worked the preceding year in a
certain time OF the year and worked
properly, when the crop requires more
moisture than it can get from the clouds
it either has it stored up or secures it
from the atmosphere"

CRIME AND CRIMINALS.
German Anarchists Sentenced for Circu-
lating Prohibited Literature.

Charles Mock (colored) was taken from
jail at SWANS boro, Ga, by a mob and
hanged. Mock few days ago criminally
assaulted a white woman of that place.
Sheriff Simons whipped seven crimi-
mails in the jail yard in Newcastle, Del.
There was but little interest shown in
the affair, and only small crowd gath
cred.
A quarrelsome negro shot and killed
the Mayor of Spartanburg, S. c., and a
mob surrounded the Jail at last accounts
with the purpose of hanging the muir
derer.
Six Anarchists, who were tried in Co
blenz, Germany, have been sentenced to
terms of Imprisonment from six months
to two years for circulating prohibited
literature.
Thomas O'Brien, a well-known all
round crook and confidence man, has
been arrested at New York, charged
with robbing a wealthy citizen of Al
bany of $4,000 a year and a half ago.
Andrew Gage, clerk of Madison coun-
ty, was assassinated at his home in the
suburbs of Huntsville, Ark. Gage was
standing on his back porch, and the as
sassin fired from the shadow of a house.
Colonel Bradford Durham, general su-
perintendent of the Alabama and Mid
land railroad, shot and killed James
Cunningham, 10 years OF age, at Mont
gomery, Ala. Domestic trouble was the
cause.

Changing the Barber,s Sign.

The BARRIERS are getting tired of their
old red, white and blue poles that serve
for signs. The high toned fellows want
some way to distinguish fashionable
shop from the common place, and they
think the best way to do this is to change
the cOlors on the pole. The new styl.
adopted is black and gold stripes, and a
very elegant combination it is. 1t has
been adopted in New York and is spread
ing. The BARRIERS held a convention in
Buffalo few weeks ago, and this CUES
ton of change came up for discussion.
There We're too many old timers present
and they carried their point Of sticking
to the pole. However, before another
year the change will begin to show itself:
for let a movement like that begin and it
will spread everywhere. There should
be distinction of some kind between
shops, for there is the greatest difference
In the world in their character. The
red, white and blue sign looks cheap. In
fact, what reason is there for BARRIERS to
have peculiar sign? No other trade
besides the tobacconists, with the Indian
figure, clings to a characteristic sign

FISH UNDER THE ICE.
Remarkable Degree of HardihoOd-En-
durance of the Cod Family.


durance of the Cod Family.
Passing down Fulton street recently, a
reporter saw a demonstration of the biz
card and how some organisms manage to
weather it. Outside of a bird store a
large glass globe was exposed containing
number of small carp. The water was
frozen solid to a depth of nearly two
inches, but beneath the clear ice the little
fishes disported themselves with evident
unconcern. The reporter descended the
basement steps in quest of information,
and entered a large, low ceiled room
lined on all sides with Gagged birds, chained
beasts and bottled tadpoles. Several
blooded black and tans nearly asphyXiated
themselves in their yearning desire to
break the calling chain and make the
reporters acquaintance. The proprietor
came forward, and, in answer to a ques-
ton concerning the fish outside, said:
1--WE have lots of people asking us the
same question every day-how it is that
goldfish can exist in such a small body of
water, which is intensely cold and her
metically Sealed by two inches of ice.
The fact is the carp family evinces a re-
markable degree of hardihOOd. Those
fish in the globe could exist under the
same conditions for an indefinite period
of time. Their respiration is not percep-
tible, and the little oxygen they require
is stored in the water. As for food, they
do not require any during the cold
weather, and they exist quite easily with
out nourishment in water that Is scarcely
above freezing point.
do they not experience some physical
change during the winter months?" in
quired the reporter.
''Not to any extent, although Occa-
sionally their color has been known to
vary, and they enter a semi-torpid con-
dition.'
DO you know of any remarkable case
where fish had survived freeZing?"
ooh, yes L have had globes of fish
outside when the water would freeze in
solid mass and fairly entomb them.
The expansion Of the ice has frequently
burst the globes Mr.. Blackford, the fish
commissioner in Fulton market, has had
some very peculiar cases Of endurance
among the cod family. He received
some tom cod, packed in barrels, from
the Pacific coast. The whole cOnsign-
ment was frozen, and the fish were
actually brittle, and could be easily
snapped i'll pieces. But, upon being cast
into tank of water they soon thawed
out, recovered the use of their organs,
and showed no further signs of having

A Few Things Farmers
Should Avoid.
WHEN TOPRUNE APPLE TREES
Mr.. Mckay Of Manitoba Recommends
Summer Following Rich
Prairie Lands.

Don't breed that old broken-down
mare. 1t won't pay, but will be an in
jury to the breeding industry.
Don't expect an old WORKOUT horse to
do as much work as a young and sound
animal.
Don't use heavy harness. Light ones
properly made of good leather are
stronger and last longer, while being
easier on the horse.
Don't overload the team. 1t is better
to make two trips than to strain the
horses or get them in the habit of balk-
ing.
Don't feed corn or cornmeal to the
horses during hot weather. Corn is too
heating.
Don't spare the oats. The well-fed
horse stands up under constant work
when the underfed falters.
Don't imagine that when you water
your horses three times day you have
done all that nature demands.
Don't let the horses eat too much green
grass. A little while in the pastures
after days work will do them good, but
too much green food will work injury
and cause the horses to sweat easily at
work.
y
Praise them when you can, and when
you cannot, say nothing.
DON'T think because your neighbor has
bought stallion that he has been neces-
sarily cheated and has bought failure
Give the horse chance to show by his
progeny what he is.
Don't let the stallion stand idle in the
barn. Make him work, for it will add to
his potency and help pay for his food.
Don't throw away the curry comb now
that farm work is rushing. 1t is needed
more now than it was last winter.
Don't forget that box stall is much
better than a narrow one for the horses,
when they have worked hard
all day. You like wide bed so does a
horse.
Don't neglect the colts in the pastures.
Round them up each evening and make
sure that none have been injured during
the day. A slight injury attended to at
once may prevent a permanent defect.
Leaving the youngsters to look after
themselves is bad policy.
