The Girl Could Shoot.

"In my recent trip to New Mexico in
the interests of the Omaha Stock Ex-
change witnessed an act Of heroism that
I shall never forget" said W. F. Skin
ner to an Omaha (Neb.) Bee reporter
"The central figure was a beautiful and
refined young lady, the daughter OF a
banker, who owns extensive cattle
ranches in northern New Mexico. During
the vacations she had passed on the ranch
she had acquired a wonderful proficiency
with the rife and could shoot with the
accuracy Of an old ranchman. One dag
we were startled by seeing q cinnamon
bear, and a large Que at that, near the
edge Of a gully bat a short distance from
the house. Both father and daughter
rushed for their rifles and made for the
rayiue. The wild beast was on the op'
posite side aud unable to get at US.
1.-THE banker in his excitement got toe
close to the ed2c of the raviue aud tumblee
in, falling distance of twelve or fifteen
feet. He lay stunned by the force Of the
fall, and we feared he had been seriously
hurt. In another second down tumbled
bruin into the gully, whether intention
ally or accidentally 1 don't know. But
the awful danger OF my host Immediately
flashed upon me. He was too stunned
to help himself aud the savage beast, in-
furiated by the pain Of his fall, rushed
toward the PROSTATE man. was frozer
with horror. In atwinkling | heard the
report OF a rifle at my side, saw puff of
smoke aud the bear dropped dead almost
on the helpless form of the banker. !
turned aud saw my fair companion just
dropping her rifle from her shoulder.
Her face was pale, but her eyes lit ur
with look OF mingled ioyand triumph.
She had saved her father from a terrible
death by her presence of mind and un-
erring aim"

TO save the men from the harder part Of
the company work. The company fund
of ready money amounted, at times when
the writer had charge of it, to several
hundreds of dollars. The men had a
splendidly- equipped reading room and
formed, altogether, a2 exceptional
company.
The result of such state of affairs was
the gratifying fact that only one man
deserted from the company in years,
while all the time there were dozens OF
applications from men in other companies
to be transferred to this one whenever a
vacancy occurred in it. 1t is an actual
fact that the men had better food and a
greater variety of it than any officers at
the different posts where it was stationed
while the writer was with it; and it is
doubtful whether any men of the same
class in the country were halls as comforta-
bleand happy as those same men in that
cavalry company.-New York Times.

Curiosity in Geography.

Buccaneering romances team with
references to the "Spansh MAN," yet
probably few people nowadays know
what or where the Spanish Main was.
The Detroit Free Press explains that
main is a contraction OF mainland, aud
was applied to the part OF the north
coast OF North America washed by the
caribbean Sea. The name is a relic Of
the time when that part Of the Conh'
nent belonged to Spain, and was used to
distinguish it from the West India
Islands, which also then belonged to that
country.
Where is Ell Doradol This was o
question which actually exercised the con.
ouerors Of Mexico and Peru. Not con
tent with the spoils OF these unfortunate
countries, the Spanialds argued that
that there must be another aud richer
country in the interior, supposed to be
somewhere to the north or west Of Peru
They called it in prospective, 1.-THE
Golden Land" Sir Walter Raleigh tried
TO find it in Guiana. 1t has not yet been

very likely found their El Dorado when
the pluudered Mexico and Peru; and
the English buccaneers whom Sir
Walter Raleigh was by no means an IN
significant specimen-!ound their FL
Dorado in plunderng the plunderers.
