Pat Did Not Relish the Ridlcule Of hls
Comrades.
A young soldier went out into the
town one evening with FIVE or six COM
panions to see the sights During the
evening he drank . glass too much. in
fact 80 much that he could hardly re-
member that his name was Pat On the
way back to tho barracks he Jagged be-
hind his companions, and they left him
to come at hiss leisure. When they ar
rived at the barracks they removed
their shoes at the door. IS the rules re-
quired, and went noiselessly to bed.
Pat arriving just in time 10 see his
companions disappearing through the
door, thought he would better hurry.
Forgetting all about the shoe rule. he
sclattered up the steps and pounded the
full length of the hall floor. There at
the end of the hall he sat down to re-
move his shoes. but suddenly rcmem-
bering that he should have removed
them at the door he jumped to his feet
and clattered back again the full length
Of the hall He took of his shoes and
went back to bed The joke on him
was so good that he was not punished
Not long after the joke on himself
Pat stayed out late again. He returned
to the barracks full. rs usual. but not
with his shoes on. So much had been
said by his comrades about his funny
offense that even in his cups he remem-
bered it So he took of his shoes when
about quarter of a mile from the bar.

traekA made by his feet in his stock

discovered . large number Of caves in q

that they were able to penetrate far

built But the surprise was further i'm
creased when presently they picked up

came evident that they belonged to .

cording to. the report which has been
received. is composed Of labyrinth Of

FOR THREE HORSES.

How 20 Arrange Relns when Working
Them Abreast In Pillow or Wagon.
We illustrate two ways in which
reins are often arranged. In the up
per illustration the lines are on the
outside horses and q second inside check
is attached to each line, which check
snaps into the inside bit ring Of the
farther outside horse. Both the inside
aud the outside checks should be
longer than the middle one. Their
proper lengths can only be determined
by trial and experiment, but rs they
are attached by buckles, their proper
adjustment Is easy. In the lower IL
lustration the lines are also upon the
outside horses, the inside checks being
attached to the bit of the middle horse.

A moon(ess night soon closed around

months OLD. The village consisted of .
tiny cluster of frame houses and tents
perched OF the edge Of the steep bank
Of the Columbia One building was
the Office and storehouse Of the pro
jected railroad, two others were gen.
cral trading stores, one was the hotel,
and the other habitations were mainly
tents.
l firmly believe there never was Z
hotel like che hostclry there. In . gen.
eral way ITS design was an adaptation Of
the plan % hen-coop. Possibly . box
made Of gridirons suggests more
clearly the principle Of its copstruc.
ton. It was two stories high, and con-
tanned about . bakers dozen of rooms
the main one being the barroom, Of
course. After the framework had
bceX finished. there was perhaps half
enough stab lumber to sheathe the
outside Of the house, and this had been
made to serve for exterior and interior
walls. and the floors and ceilings be-
sides The consequence was that q
flock of gigantic canaries might have
beer keep in it with propriety, but as
a place Of abode for human beings it
compared closely with the Brooklyn
bridge. The queer hotel was but little
more peculiar than many Of the people
who gathered on the single street on
payday to spend their hard-earned
money upon . great deal of illicit
whisky and . few rule necessities
from the limited stock on sale in the
stores. There never had been any
grave disorder there, yet the doating
population was Is motley collection
of the riffraff of the border as one
could well imagine.-Julian Ralph, in
