SCOTS BLUFFS.


! A Picturesque Spot and the Melancholy
Incident That Gave 1t Name.
Along the Nebraska river rises sue
cession of beetlng cliffs of indurated clay
| and sandstone, bearing the semblance of
towers, castles, churches and fortified cities
They received the name of SCOTS bluffs
from melancholy incident A number Of
years ago, while "A party were descending
the river ain canoes, their frail barks were
overturned. their provisions lost or spoiled,
and their powder wet. Their rifles were of
| course rendered useless, and they Were I'M
able to procure food by hunting and hal to
depend upon roots and wild fruits for sub
sistence.
They made their way on foot as best
they could suffering extremely from hun
Der. until they reached Laramies fork
Here Scott one of the party, was taken i'll,
and his companions came to a halt until
he should recover sufficiently to proceed.
While searching for edible roots they
discovered fresh trail of white men, who.
it was evident. had recently passed. What
was to be done9 BY n forced march they
might overtake the travellers and 'hus be
able to reach the settlements in safety.
What shall we do with Scott?' said one.
"IIe can't walk"
For moment all were silent. They real
lied that they were too weak to carry him,
and If hey waited for his recovery all Were
in danger Of perishing from starvation and
exhaustion,
I'VE must leave him here" some ont
said grufIly ITO wait for him mean
death and to try to take him along ca,.'t
mean anything else"
1t was cruel thing to do, but it was at
length decided to abandon the poor man tt
his fate Leaving Scott to infer that they
were in search of food, the whole party set
off on the trail. They succeeded in over,
taking the white men of whom they were
in quest, but concealed their faithless de
sertion of their unfortunate eomrade.
The following summer some of the SAINT
party were visiting the region again. They
came suddenly upon the bleached bones
and grinning skull of a human skeleton,
which by certain signs they recognized n
the remains of Scott. This was 60 long
miles from the place where he had been
left, and il appeared that the wretched man
had crawled that almost incredible distance
before death put an end to his miseries,
The wild and picturesque bluffs in the
neighhorhood of his lonely grave have ever
since borne his name.-Youth's Companion.

at the age of one year, the young bulls are
separated from the heifers, branded with
the owners mark and turned ont loose on
The plains to Craze with others of their OWL
age.
When year older, the young bulls arc
gathered together in order that their met
tie and fighting qualities may be tested
One of them is separated from the herd and
chased by a man ON horseback, who by the
skillful use of bliInted lance overthrows
the escaping bull, whereupon another rider
comes in front of the animal with sharp
er lance to withstand the expected attack
If the bull on rcgaining his feet attack
the rider twice, it is passed ms a fighting an
imal hut if he turns tail and runs off then
it il set aside to he killed or to be used il
agricultural work.
Each bull that has stood the test success

a description Of it, appearance, and receives
name such as Espartcro, flamenco, and
the like. This process Of careful selection

There is one feature Of Uncle Sans mill
tary service which hinders a great many
men from entering 1t. The law provides
that private vino has served 10 years with
out promotion cannot again re enlist. The
theory is that a man who has not proved
himself good enough for promotion in tina,
time is useless.
But" said a soldier gloomiiy, that Il
dreadfuily unjust. for you know only a lin.
tied number can he promoted anyway, and
there are thousands aud thousands of first
class, sober, earnest and competent privates
who serve out their ~ years and don't get
promoted simply because there are no,
enough vacancies made ahead Now.
