Hard to Beat an Iniauity,

with prominent hoStelries everywhere

paint never yet saw an equal of the
Earl of AyeSford, who died in the
Southwest a few years ago on cattle
ranch. King Alcohol finally downed
him. He used to come to Chicago
with regular retinue of cow
boy retainers, and the prodlgal
nobleman used to delight in getting
his entire staff hilariously drunk. He
was we'll behaved even in his reyels. but
seemed downright happy il a row start
ed, and he could handle his fists like a
professional. He had an iron physique
that many years of dissipation could
scarcely break down. In his early days
he was the intimate associate of the
Prince of Wales, and spent large por-
ton of his patrimOny entertaining the
heir apparent. He married, but prob
ably his countess did not like his irregu-
lar ways and ran off with another man.,
whereupon Aylesford lost little time in
clipping with the wife of brother aris-

DEEDS OF THE DARING
Thrilling Moments When All

Tampa boasts of color ed citizen who
mas n9 more fear of an alligator than
he has of the harmless lizard. and who
will attempt to ride one any day for q
small sum of money, says the st. Louis
Republic. His method of riding the
reptile is to enter lake or pond where

one, Jump on its back quickly, and press
Ing his thumbs on its eyes urge 1t shore
ward.
An employe of the South Florida rail-
road, whose name | have received per
mission TO use. informed me that he had
often mounted Old bulls in the lakes of
fernando county, and ridden them
ashore without any trouble by simply
pressing his thumbs on their eyes ana
urging them forward with his heels or
shouts. He found it far easier to mount
than to diSmount, for as soon as his
saurian Steed touched the shore 1t tried
to seize his legs by bringing its tail
and head suddenly together, and rolling
over and over like Il barrel going down
hill. This is the ordinary method en-
plOyed by alligators for capturing their
prey or enemies, and. as its efficacy de-
ponds on the prompt conjunction OF
Jaws and tail. the stroke may be readily
avoided by little figuring" to use
Mr.. StaffOrd'S expression.
According to Mr. Stafford. all he had
to do when in want of an aquatic mus
tang was to enter a half-drled pond,
Dick out the largest and LATEST Saurian
he saw there. mount it promptly and
point its nose landward. The mounted
animal, according to his statement,
makes no fuss about moving wherever
it is directed while in the water, but the
moment il reaches land it uses every eff
fort to throw and devoar its jockey.
1t is possible to ride an alligator some
distance overland by tying its muZZie,
as il does not attempt to do any injury
until if can throw its open mouth and
Ipng tail together by sudden sweep to
one side. Mr.. Stafford, who is, | be-
lieve, native of Florida, veteran hunt
er and an expert alligator jockey, relates
an aEecdote which shows that Saurian
riding is as dangerous as Irish Steeple-
chasing, when the mount is Sulky or
wounded. He had ridden an alligator
ashore during one of his hunting trips.
and, as it was rather large, and its skin,
as a consequence, unusually valuable,
he decided to kill and fay 1t near the
pond.
After emptyiDg the contents of his
rife into its head, and assuring himself
of its being dead, ne drew his knife to
fay it: but he had hardly touched its
head ere the alligator returned to life
with a vigOr that Lazarus never APP
preached. and, SeiZing him by the coat
sleeve, commenced rolling over and
over.

BATTLES WITH MUSTANGS.

a Wild Sport on the Plains That
Involves Many Narrow Escapes.
The men who hunt the mustangs of
the far West often experience very mar
row escapes. For several years there
has been roaming the prairies in the
vicinity of No Mans Land a band of
horses that has notable history. and
the capture of which was given up as
hopeless by many of the best mustang
ers in the Southwest. Its leader was a
magnificent white stallion, (which
seemed almost OF supernatural endur-
ance, and only last winter was secured
bv the hand of man. Many a hunter
tried to tire the beautiful creature out,
but in vain, until finally long, lahk
Iliinoisan, vino had opened cattle
ranch in Southwestern Kansas. de-
termined to try his hand. lii February,
when the snow was deepest, he set out
with plenty of provisions and a good
pair of snow shoes.
There was just crust enough 10 bear
him, while the horse sank througS at
every step. Patiently for two days he
chased The creature, until the animal
went up a little rayine that followed a
prairie stream. The walls grew sleeper
until the path was almost d canyon,
which at last opened out into circular
valley, with no outlet except the ravine.
The stallion realized that he was penned
and madly raced about the Enclosure en-
deavOring to find way of escape.
There was none except along the TWEEN
ty-foOt bank of the stream, where the
hunter stood swinging his lariat, one
end of the rope being made fast to a
sapling. With bounding steps. fleet as
a deer, the horse charged forward. As
he fairly flew past the mustanger the
long rawhide rope steady uncOiled and,
being thrown by practiced hand, fol-
lowed the horses motion and settled
silently but surely upon the horses
neck.
But the battle was only commenced.
The Jerk of the lariat threw the horse,
but it also sent the hunter down the
bank and into the water. The horse
followed and the two struggled against
the common enemy drowning. a fiat
rock rose midstream, and on this the
horse clambered, while the man re-
gained the bank. Reasoning that the
horses stubborness would cause him to
Jerk backward. the hunter pulled the
moose tighter and tighter until. Stran-
gIed, the animal lay helpless on the
rock. Going across. the hunter soon
had the beautiful captive's feet hob
bIed, and lOoSing the moose, granted him
breath enough to allow journey to

The second or third roll took the
sleeve off his coat and disiocated his
arm, and, on being set free in this I'M
expected manner. it did not take him
long to scramble out of reach of the fu-
riOuS reptile. A physician who was
hunting with him set his arm in a few
moments. and, when that was done,
the Jockey poured lead into hi
late mount until he was sure tina
its feTocious spirit had fled to join its
ancestors. A man who has shot alli-
gators for their hides told me that the
animals were harmless in winter and
inclined to avoid contest with man at
nil times unless they were wounded or
defending their young. They are worse
in the pairing season than at any other,
the bulls being then unusually petulant,
more than ordinarily stupid and stub
born and inclined to resent any in
trusiOn on their grounds. Yet by boldly
facing them they can be forced to turn
tail and run. and may even be mounted
ana ridden ashore, provided there are
10 females in the vicinity.
He once tried to ride an old bull to-
wards landmark that lOOmed above all
other objects on the fiat shore of lake
Oh dark night, and wondered why his
Steed tried SO hard to turn away from it
whenever the thumbs were lifted off
the eyes. but he was able to account for
it readily few minutes later when an
enTaged female that was guarding the
landmark, which was her nest. rushed
Open-mOuthed and grunting like an in
sane grizzly at them and sent her con-
Queror fleeing precipitately to the rear
and its jockey deep into the mud.
Fortunately for him the assailant was
ut len hull -
Jockey, and followed it several hundred
yards, charging at intervals, and thrash
ing it vigorously with her tail whenever
she got an opportunity. The male was
driven almost across the lake before
she decided to return and attack the
man, but he was running ON shore for
dear life long before she had given up
the pursuit Of the steed.
The rider said he had seen MANY des-
perate charges during the Civil war, but
that he was never in one that so COM
pIetely benumbed his faculties as the
charge of that ''big-mouthed souaw
'gater." He thought he could ride a
male saurian at any time of the year, but
that no man living could retain his
seat for any length of time on the
back of a female that was defending
her nest or was accompanied by her

sand, he attacked the reptile with his

could infiict any injury upon him, by

The remainder of the herd was not

Nor speaks least he awake the sleeping land: :
Tall trees grow out of shadows; high

In deep ravine by dropping cedars spanned.
All drowned in gloom, a flying pheasant's

Gaunt naples lift long arms against the

The stars are sobbing-sorrow-sh

And high they hang, or show sad eyes grown

With weeping for their queen-the moon
just dead.
Weird shadows backward reel when tall
and bright
The broad flames stand and fling golden
light
On mats of soft, green moss around US
spread.
A sudden breeze comes in from off the sea,
The vast old forest draws a troubled breath,
A leaf awakens: up the shore of sand
The black tide, silver-lipped, creeps noise
iessly;
The campfire dies, then silence deep as
death,
The darkness pushing down. upon the
