A nervy girl, with q rifle and quick
shot, saved the life of boy who was
being dragged to death by runaway
horse on the road about four miles south
west of Hastings, Neb., Sunday after
noon A lot of children were playing
around the farmyard of Walter Will
Hams, and one OF the boys was riding a
horse. His feet were stuck in the stir
rups, and he was playing circus for
the benefit of his playmates. Through
some mischance his companions scared
the horse, and the animal started off on
the dead run and threw the boy from
the saddle. His foot caught fast in the
stirlup, and he was dragged.
Miss Ella Williams was standing in
the yard with small rifle, with which
she had been shooting at a mark. She
is an expert shot, and her nerve saved
the boy She saw that inevitable death
stared him in the face, and as the horse
dashed past her she fired bullet
through his neck, close to his ears, that
killed him instantly, dropping him in
his tracks. The boy was fearfully
bruised, but not seriously injured. He
was Il son Of George Jones, neighbor,
and when the father heard of the girls
deed he presented her father with an
other horse to replace the one which had
been shot, and then gave Ella Il horse of
her Own.-OShkOSh Herald.

Montana Potatoes.

There are no such potatoes in the
world as are grown in Montana. They
attain prodigious size, and often weigh
three, four or five pounds apiece.
Eighteen such potatoes make bushel.
To the taste they are like new vegeta-
BILE. The larger ones are mealy, but the
smaller ones are like sacks Of meal.
When the skin is broken the meat falls
out like flour. 1t must very soon be-
come the pride of every steward in the
first grade hotels, restaurants and clubs
of the cities here, and even IN Europe, to
prepare these most delicious vegetables
for those who enjoy good living. AS
these potatoes of the choicest quality
can be cultivated in all of the valleys
east of the Rocky mountains there will
soon be no lack of them. Today the
only ones that have left the state have
been the few bushels sent to gourmets
in New York, Washington and San
Francisco.-Julian Ralph in Harper's.

a Story of a Horse.

A gentleman living near here tells me
a beautiful story of his horse. A few
days since, rs he was leaving his resi-
dence, q horse that he owned galloped
up and caught his arm and made IN at
tempt to pull him in Il special direction.
Trying this for while he galloped off
quickly toward II pasture Il quarter Of a
mile away. Then he came back again,
calling urgently and evidently desiring
something very much. The man fol
lowed him, and when he had reached
the pasture found the mate of the horse
entangled in a broken bridge. When
the animal was liberated the one who
had called the gentleman came up to
him and gently rubbed him with his
head and looked his love.
Gentleness and gratitude and careful
ness for others is characteristic of the
higher aniEIals, and occasionally of the
birds and fowls. Indeed, believe that
the animals frequently deserve the
epithet gentleman or gentlewoman more
than human folk do.-Mary E. Spencer
in ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Two or three weeks ago Mr.. Jack
Whites boys brought home two baby
flying squirrels. Mr.. White directed
the boys to give them to the cat. 1t so
happened that the cat at the time had q
nest of little kittens. The boys put
the squirrels in the nest with the kittens,
and they are with them yet. The squirrels
boarded right along with the kittens in
peace and unity, the old cat concurring.
They have grown and fiourished on
their diet, and are shy of surroundings
only when frightened by unusual noise.

About Russian Caviar.

Caviar, which is made from the eggs
of the sturgeon, is an important article
of expectation for many cities of Rus
STA and Astrakhan, and principally
Taganrok. The annual amount is es-
timated at 10000 pouds Il poud-35
pounds.) The greater part goes to
Turkey, Greece, Italy and Germany,
very little to England, and still less to
France. The fisheries are situated at
the mouth of the Volga, upon the
banks of which stand vast storebouses
with basement and cellars in which are
found the tubs that contain the brine
used in the preparation of caviar. The
most profitable fishing is done in au-
tumn, this season yielding the largest
quantity of eggs. In winter. the fish
ermen make large holes in the ice and
fish with the spear A all other times
they use nets, about 800 feet in length,
to which are attached cords provided
with hooks. Each of these is strong
enough to hold fish of large dimen
sions. Each establishment owns feet
of boats. The fishes brought on board
are laid upon boards and covered with
salt, and are then opened for the pur-
pose of extracting the eggs and the en-
trails, which the Russians are very fond
of, and which they eat in a fresh state.

In the room where the monkeys are

face cebus of more than average intel

adjacent cage is the little capuchin
Puck. They can easily see and hear

Puck for many weeks almost daily,

shy of men, | rarely showed him the
slightest attention until within the
past few weeks, when l observed him
trying to utter the capuchin sound for
food, which always secured for Puck
banana or some nuts. Seeing that
Puck was always rewarded for utter

instead of the orthodox sable. The
mink heads were soon exhausted, and

of the icy mass was removed, work
