MEN WHO HAVE NO FEAR.

me as rather being the loss Of some
thing than the possession of some
thing. OF course, I know that brave
man will walk deliberately into death,
knowing full we'll what he is doing,
but having made up his mind to do it
at any cost. 1t is no sign of coward
ice when a man sees that it is useless
to die when he might live with just as
much credit and honor to himself, and
so refuses to walk into the jaws Of
death.
"But there is the man who does not
know what fear is. have seen in my
life few such men-men who would
90 into any danger for the simple rea-
SON that they did not seem to have the
power to perceive that what they did
was likely to cost their lives.
'Iremember once in the late sixties
l was in Wyoming town which was
bad. There were some men in that
town whose actions were never ques-
toned, and there were many lawless
deeds at which even the good citizens
shrugged their shoulders-and that
was all.
"a man came into the town who
had the mildest manner of any one
whom ever saw. He was very tall,
had broad shoulders and huge fists,
but his eye was of a soft blue, and his
smile was always friendly.
"One day two drunken outlaws had
been riding about town, running
things to suit themselves. One of
their tricks had been to ride into bar
rooms and to scatter people there.
They were let alone at this amusement
until they both got tired of it, for they
were 'bad men, and no one cared to
have them begin savage attack on
him.
"When the two riders, intlamed with
whisky and brutality, found the bar
room charges too flat for their tastes,
they looked around for other mischief
to do. They found it in little store,
which was q notion shop, drug store
and everything else. They charged it
on the trot, and with spurs jingling,
arms waving and hoofs gathering, in
thew went. An instant later two
screaming women rushed from the
place, and ran down the street. When
the outlaws rode out to the sidewalk
thew sat in their saddles and howled
like savages. ,
"Now the mild natured, blue-eyed
giant, coming down the street, had
seen enough of the affair to under
stand what had happened. He stop
ped and looked at the two whisky
mad riders for Il full minute. The
whole affair was over. The women
had disappeared and the horsemen
were sitting there, still laughing. But
the giant, walking close to one of them,
reached up quickly and took him by
the coat near the throat. He pulled
the man from his saddle as if he had
been a sack of bran, and giving him a
terrific shake, dashed him to the ground
where he lay all in a crushed heap.
"The other rider had seen all this, at
first with look Of stupid astonsh-
ment, and then, with Il savage light Oh
his face, he whipped out his revolver !;
but before he could use it, the giant
had snatched him from his saddle, and
with one hand around his throat and
one gathered up the fellows clothes
low on his chest, he literally wrung
the strength out of him.
"'Better get out of this town as soon
as YOU cam he said, in 4 low voice,
and he flung him into the street on top
of his companion. The two sneaks
actually whimpered when they got up.
They had their revolvers, but they
climbed into their saddles as if they
were half frightened to death, and
rode out Of town.
"Now, my point is this: No man
who had an idea Of danger would have
attacked those men when the peril OF
the women was past. The chances
were ten thousand to one that he
would be killed. He was absolutely
ignorant of fear, for he atterward be-
came deputy marshal, and while try
ing to arrest three desperate men in
this fearless way, was shot to pieces.

PECULIARITIES or THE HORSE
There are many odd things about the
anatomical and physiological makeup
of the horse that are seldom noticed
or mentioned, even by the so-called
written "authoritics" on such subjects,
or by veterinary surgeons themselves.
Emctics have no more effect upon a
living sick representative Of the genus
euuus than they would on 4 marble
representation of Alexander's famous
old Bucephalus. DO you know why
this is? 1t is because horse is unpro-
vidcd with GALL bladder. When one
of the human family gets badly injured
/ the gall bladder acts in sympathy, and
the result is 'dcathly sickness" or Il
fainting away entirely. With the horse
it is different, not because he is not
sensitive to pain, but for the reasons
given. Some authorities consider that
the most highly organized of the do
mcstic creatures. One even says
There is no living creature, not even
I hystcrical woman, so ncrvously sell
sitivc rs Il horse and, rs for the con-
tention that IL horse does not feel pain,
