Charged by a Buffalo.

Every farmers boy has seen two
angry rams rush at each other, with
heads almost down to the ground. 1t
charges upon the object Of his rage,
be it man or lion. Such charge is
described by Mr.. Herbert Ward, in
Scribner's Magazine.
While his cOmrade, Mr.. e. ].
Glave, was stalking a large herd Of
buffaloes, he fired at bull, but only
wounded it in the shoulder. The
herd stampeded, but the wounded
bull trotted into neighboring patch
Of scrub, whence, as Glave APP
preached, he rushed into the open,
and for an instant stood there dazed.
Recovering himself, the Infatuated
animal extended his neck, stuck back
his ears, stamped with his foot, shifted
the air, and with an ominous twitch
of his tail, charged straight for the
man, who stood awaiting him, fifty
yards of.
Glave saw from the pace of the
charging buffalo that his life depend
ed upon the one shot. He waited,
therefore, until the brute, with head
close to the ground, and believing
with rage, was within few feet.
Then he fred, and shot it through
the heart. So sudden was the shock
and so great the impulse, that the
brute turned somersault, and Glave
had only time to jump aside to avoid
being crushed.
While stalking the herd, Glave had
given a native his helmet to carry.
When the man saw the Infatuated
buffalo about to charge, he climbed
up high tree. So scared was he
that even after the buffalo had been
killed he could not be persuaded to
come down with the helmet, and an
other native had to go up and get 1t.
The exposure of the hunters head
to the sun gave him severe fever,
and that night he was so delirious as
to require several men to control him.

Miss Marguerite Palmer Cut Dash on
Them for Two Years.
Miss Marguerite Palmer was found guilty
mt Topeka, Kan, of obtaining money under
false pretenses For two years Miss Palmer
has been the observed of all observers. She
boarded at the leading hotel, gave theater
parties and swell dinners, which were the
talk OF the town. She wore diamonds
galore, and her entire appearance was
striking. She announced that she had dis
covered a new species of silk worm and
that she was sole agent for the eggs The
Kansas climate was just the thing to bring
about the best results. The country news
papers devoted columns TO her and the entire
state was exercised. F. L. McCielland, re-
tired merchant was smitten by her charms
and offered 10 give her all the money neces /.
sary. He was the silent member OF tho
arm. and the business grew until nearly
every town in the State had sub-agencies.
The purchasers of eggs finally complained
that they would not hatch, and McClelland.
who had been putting more money In Miss
Palmer's hands, finally grew suspicious.
He had chemist examine the eggs and
the testimony showed that they were moth
ing but English mustard seed. The extent
OF the swindling is not known, but will run
way up into the thousands. One firm In
Wichita purchased $4,000 worth Of seed and
another In Salina 81, 900.

Pears without Cores.

Writers often express surprise that
there should be an orange without seeds,
but this experience is met with in almost
all kinds Of fruits. There is an apple
called Mennechor's Nocore, so named ex-
pressly from the total absence of seeds.
An illustration of this is in the Rutter
pear; IL is extremely Nrarc that seed Is
found in il, although they are occasion
ally there. The common currant, Zante
currant of the stores, is simply grape
which does not produce seeds. A singu-
lar feature about these varieties is, that
they seem to increase in productiveness
by reason of this want Of perfection in
the seed. The Rutter pear is especially
great bearer; there seems almost as
many pears as leaves on the tree. I'm
fortunately, if allowed oil to come to per
lection, the fruit is of inferior guilty,
but when properly tLinned out the favor
is delicious. Meehan's Monthly.

Values Are Lower

r. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade
says:
It is undeniable that there exists a con-
siderable feeling of disappointment. More
business. but at lower prices, seems to be the
rule. That the volume of trade is gradually
increasing, even In branches which have been
dullest, there seems to be no doubt But In
appear to be the result of some yielding In
prices, so that the average decline in prices
of all commodities during the past week
has been more than half of 1 per cent
The money markets throughout the coun-
try are unusually well supplied, but In
part because the demand is only moderate
Collections are generally improving or de-
cidedly good. The course of foreign trade
makes the absence of gold imports some-
what noteworthy.

This Man Says He Has Proof of the Le-

DR.. ID. M. Edwards, of Fremont. Neb., has
engaged lawyers to establish his claim to n
large quantity OF real estate. including
some of the most valuable property in New
York City. Edwards says that he only
secured positive information OF the
legality OF his title the other day.
He says that Robert Edwards. his
great-grandfather. in 1880 emigrated from
Wales and secured forty acres on Manhat-
tan Island. He leased it to the British
Government shortly afterward. When the
country's independence was recognized the
lease was transferred to the United States
for ninety nine years. The expiration of the
lease was noticed by officials in Stanley,
Wales, where IL was recorded. and resulted
in the heirs being looked up. New York
lawyers assert that II the title can be es-
tablished to the property described, its
value will be $3.50. 100000
