CHAPTER V.
soLANGE DOES HIS BEST.

In eighteen hundred and seventy trav-
ell to America by the eastern route was a
good deal less easy than it is now. But
to an old campaigner like Maurice So
lange hardships that would have dis
couraged ordinary tourists were as moth
ing. He journeyed in light marching
order-a wooden box fitted with han
die to carry it by in one hand and an old
carpet bag in the other. Sometimes,
when he had to travel some distance on
foot, he strapped the box on his Shout
ders. So independent was he that he
never engaged porter, but logged
along sturdily, finding solace for all
mishaps in a pipe of tobacco. He met
with little or no hindrance on his way,
being furnished with all necessary pass
ports, and also, when occasion required,
producing special letters or documents
that secured him safe passage.
Traversing the Red sea he went to
Ceylon, and there got passage in a
steamer bound for Melbourne. Crossing
thence to New Zealand he disembarked
at Napier, and after waiting there
week engaged berth on merchant
vessel bound via st. Elmo and Pitcairn
Island to Panama. She was a Spanish
American ship and bore the name of
Santa Lucia.
Solange was the only passenger. But
at st. Elmo another was taken on board

an aquiline nose. When Maurice, lean

BARNSTORMERS

Last Sunday the Post-Intelligencer
had a long article headed Back Mum
Der Stars" in which it spoke at some
length OF numerous dramatic and
operate stars who have gone TO the
wall-becOme wall-fOwers, as IL were
Many Of them were never stars except
in name, and didn't even deserve that.
They have simply caused the public
great deal Of suffering in order to sat
isfy their own vanity, and in general
way they have failed even I'm that.
Since the old stock company days, the
American stage has suffered from the
fact that hundreds-eyen thousands
of one-part actors have been made.
Some young and pretty gill who has
been drilled to play certain part, as
"Hazel Kirke, " "Esmeralda' and the
like, is starred "on the road" by a
travelling company until the play gets
to lie a chestnut, and then that
actress, having perhaps grown poSse,
starts starring in something else, and
in ninety-nine cases out OF one hun
bred, becomes a miserable barn
stormer, playing anywhere, misleading
people sometimes by flaring stock
cuts" and thus ekes out an existence.
Frequently a very fair actress, TO dc
responsible business in company, is
petted for her beauty, and eventually
s..,.. al
low who thinks he can "star" her
and make a fortune. Generally the
result is TO wheel a company about
over the country, playing at any ghost
of a sign Of an opening. falling behind
continually, living on charity aud sym
pathy until at last even that runs out,
and then the whole outfit walks home
when the walking is very bad, and the
star and her manager strike a metrop

find another "sucker"-and IL /,
said that new sucker is born every
minute-then with the "angel" they
make another start with the same re
suits. This continues until it ends
and "the star" and "thc manager,

themselves with rushing the

How Horse Tastes.

Physically i. may be distinguished from
beef or mntton by its appearance. 1t Is
coarser in the grain than beef. In this re-
spect it resembles bull beef more than any
other. 1t is darker in color and looks more
moist than beef. 1t has a peculiar smell
and peculiar sweetness of taste. It's
flavor il generally considered to be half
way between the flavors of beef and game;
it is something like the flavor Of hare.
One reason why horseflesh is as a rule
darker in color than beef is that horses
which are poleaxed, or which have died
from injury. disease or old age, are not
properly bled and dressed by the slaugh-
terer. Il is, however, by its fat that horse
flesh is most easily distinguished. The fat
of horseaesh is not generally mixed with
the lean.
1t is yellow in color. 1t looks more moist
than the fat of beef 1t soon melts and
soon becomes rancid. Consequently, I'm

Lastly, horsehesh can be distinguished
from beef by its chemical characteristics,

nized when mixed with other substances

ENTERTAINING THE ANGELS

There is a great mistake made by
those people who think that the sena-
tors and other high functionaries at
Washington are toadying to the nobil-
ity Of other countries who visit there,
because Of their rank, when they pay
those visitors such marked attention
and do them such great honors. Our
public men at Washington dispense
their Courtesies for a much more sub
stantial reason.
Nearly every man of exalted rank in
other countries has learned before he
comes to this republic that draw-poker
is our national game, and comes pre-
pared TO indulge in it. He puts in
great breadths of time before he
starts, endeayOring TO learn the uses,
ways, manners, customs and charac-
teristics of the bobtail flush, the full
baud, straights and sequences, and he
doesn't learn all that is to be learned
about them until he has sat yis-a-vas,
quartering or otherwise at a round
table that has a slot in the centre,
with some American senators, or other
great eXemplars and illustrators Of
the great North American game. The
American senator may be statesman
with his heart chock full of patriotism
and his future pregnant with good in
tentiOns for his constituency, and the
people at large-he may be all that
| but he is certain, at least nearly GER
tain, to have a great head for poker,
and much financial acumen withal.
From that great mine of intellect,
with its high-grade gray matter packed
solid between the walls, comes the
output that goes through the refner-
les of the foreign-born poker-seeker,
and it comes out in the American

Here is peculiar legend Of the Indians,
as told by the Rev. Mr.. Cook, the full
blooded Sioux, who is the ministerial rep
resentative of the Episcopalian denomina-
ton at Pine Ridge agency. The legend,
which was related to the Indian children
at the agency, was Of their forefathers' be
lief as to the cause of the disappearance of
the moon. He said the belief was that
every time the new moon appeared IL was
a signal for all the mice in the country to
gather themselves together In one spot.
When they assembled they separated in
four great armies. One army went to the
north, another to the south, third to the
east, and a fourth to the west.
These armies Of mice travelled until they
reached the point where from the place of
starting, the heavens seemed to touch the
earth. Then they climbed up the sky un-
til they came to the moon, which was by
this time what we call full. All of the
fourarmies then commenced nibbling at
Luna, and when they had eaten her all up
the mice would scamper back down the
heavens to the earth and wait for her to
show herself again, when the journey and
nibbling would be repeated by the mice.
And this is what the Indians of early days
believed was the cause of the moon grow
ing old and finally disappearing. Omaha
