Terrible Effects Of Long Drought in Ari-

Terrible Effects Of Long Drought in Ari-
zona Territory.
A Phoenix Ca. IT, dispatch says:
Every body knows Charlie Duchet, who
is a typical western character. He
knows every inch of ground between
Phoenix and the Navajo reservation,
and has had hairbreadth escapes by the
dozen. He returned recently from
trip to the Mogollones and had quite a
rough time. He left Fort Mcdowell
and went up to the Gerde and through
quiclisand, high water and other draw
backs; was three and half days with
out food, himself and horse, and trav-
eled in that time eighty-three miles.
He reports terrible condition of af-
fairs in the ranges of that section. 1t
is dryer than ever before known, and
cattle are perishing by hundreds. At
one place he was in box canyon and
observed that cattle which came to
drink were so weak and exhausted that
on coming'to the creek they fell into the
water, some of them drowning and 9TH
ers drinking so much that they could
not walk.
The country is utterly barren of feed,
and cattle walk lowing over the mesas,
cropping brush and anything that bears
signs of vegetable life. Mr.. Duchet
was near cliff at least three hundred
feet high over the Verde, on Murrays
ranch, and saw COW walking slowly
toward the edge. He expected to see
1t stop at reasonable distance, but in.
stead, without Stacking it's pace, ii
walked right over the edge, striking
two or three times in the precipitous
descent and landing mangled and dead

occurred. Other cattle have been

The Tapir Is . Difficult Animal to Find

The Tapir Is . Difficult Animal to Find
and to Capture.
In the wilder part of South America
you can bag a deer or wild hog al
most any day if you set wisely about it,
but months may pass without even the
sight of tapir, though you may be in
theirAaunts continually.
You see plenty of unmistalkable three
toed tracks, and now and again you
may hear tapirs moving in the forest
not leaping through openings between
the vines and branches as deer does,
nor pushing the brush aside like a
jaguar, but crushing their way by sheer
strength, with a great cracking OF
twigs, says st. Nicholas
1t is almost useless to follow tracks
or sound; clumsy as the animals appear,
they can race through the underbrush
faster than dog can follow, and they
are so keen of sight and scent and so
prone to concealment that even the
most experienced hunter rarely catches
sight Of one in the daytime, unless by
accident. The best plan is to lie in
wait for them, as the 1.-THE and crafty
jaguar does, by their drinking and
watering places, and this must be done
at night.
I may as well add here that tapirs
are common all over South aud Cen.
tral America except the thickly-settled
| regions and the Pacific coast. Natural.
lists distinguish several species, differ
ing mainly in size and the structure o.
the bones, but they are much alike. AL
go singly, or in bands generally of two
or three, and feed on fruits and leaves

There is a general superstition that a

TAKEN FOR HORSE THIEVES.
A Romance and Tragedy on the Frontier
Border of Texas.


"The most pathetic scene ever wit
nessed," said a Texas judge to repre-.
sentative of the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, was third of century ago, but
it is as plain to my eyes to-day as it was
then. We had been bothered by horse
thieves down on the frontier, and you
know what that means in a wild coun-
try. A crowd of us started out after
the scoundrels, and just before we
reached the Rio Grande we saw two
horsemen off to the left, who acted sus-
piciously. Alter them we went, and it
was pretty race for awhile till they
disappeared behind a clump of trees.
We had shot to stop them, and when
we got in sight again we found that one
horse had been shot, and they had de-
serted him, while both were riding the
other. They were evidently Mexicans
"a man and boy-and the man
showed fight, turning and firing at us,
finally hitting our deputy sheriff. We
gained on them rapidly, and presently a
well-directed fire sent them all in a heap.
When we reached them the boy was
kneeling in front Of the dying Mexican,
sobbing and moaning as If her heart
would break, while her hair, which had
fallen from her cap, fell below her
waist. 1t was case of elopement, and
they had taken us for her fathers serv-
ants, while we had been equally stupid
and had taken them for horse thieves.
When he began to gasp she drew lit
tie pearl-handled revolver, and before
anyone could think of stopping her
placed the muzzle under her ear and fell
into his arms, corpse. No, we never
heard who they were. We buried them
and went after the horse thieves"

HE HAD TIGHT SHOES.
Why Gen. Jim Lewis Did Not Rise at the
Proper Time.

Why Gen. Jim Lewis Did Not Rise at tho
Proper Time.
Gen. Jim Lewis, as he is familiarly
called, is said by his friends to believe
in the efficacy of eccentric habits with
the fair sex, End many acts of smile
provoking character are told of him.
His most recent act in this line, accord
ing to the St. Louis Republic, occurred
a short time since at dinner party
given by lady friend.
During the course of the dinner the
general SO the story goes, was noticed
to lean over and reach down toward the
floor, first on one side, then on the
other The movement was noted, but
was thought to be only one of his Pc
cuiiarities. At the close of the dinner,
when the ladies rose to retire and al
low the gentlemen to solace themselves
with an indulgence of good cigars, the
general did not rise.
This action produced an awkward
pause, and made the general the OBJ
served of all observers, noting which,
together with the look of inquiry and
expectancy with which he was re-
gsrded, he made prompt explanation to
the effect that his remaining seated
was due to his shoes not being wholly
on his feet.
He did not, however, have to explain
that their not being so was due to his
peculiar side movements at the table,
when he had partially removed them to
ease the pressure upon the supernu'
merary excrescences on his pedal ap,
pendages for-the ladies had fled.

In a shady lane near Totnes the at
tention of visitors is attracted by at all
cross of the finest Aberdeen granite,
which, together with ponderous slab
of the same material, occupies the cor
ner of field On it is inscribed the
name and arms of the late duke of
Somerset, with the following extraor-
binary lines at the foot: "The twelfth
duke was the Sheridan duke. He de-
frauded and nearly ruined the Seymour
family.
"This stone was prepared by the
thirteenth duke in his lifetime, and was
erected here in pursuance of his ex-

the duke. who died last year, suffered
all his life from an idee fixe concerning
some imaginary wrong done by his pred

was refused admittance to Berry Pom

SAVED BY A SLiPkNOT.
Il Wa Thrown Over a serpent's Head
Just in Time.

II Wa Thrown Over Serpent's HeS0
Just in Time.
The traveller in the uncivilized regions
Of South America has to face many
perils. II he escapes the savages, who
are adroit and bitter enemies; if he can
secure water and food, and survive the
intense heat, and believes his expedi-
ton has every chance of success, he
may die within an hour from the bite
of a poisonous serpent, says Youths
Companion.
M. Thouar, in his diary, kept during
his explorations in the Pilcomayo delts
under commission from the Argentine
government, describes an experience
which prompted him to eternal vigi-
lance in regard to snakes.
He was lying in his hammock; the
sergeant of his guard was asleep under
q tree close by. Suddenly he noticed
an immense serpent coiled about the
sergeant's leg and extending it's head
toward his bare chest.
What should he do? To wake the
man meant certain death to him; but
how to kill the creature or attract II
away without waking him? He re-
called method of capturing the cobra
in India
He prepared slipknot. By stealthy,
almost imperceptible movements he at
tracted the serpent's attention. 1t
turned its head. Then he leaned from
his hammock and with long piece OF
grass tickled it gently on the throat.
1t raised its head. He cast the moose
over it and drew it tight around the
serpent's neck.
1t was not a moment too soon. The
sergeant awoke. He tainted with
fright, but the danger was past. The
slipknot had saved him and stroke OF
the saber cut off the serpent's head.

THE CURSE OF AUSTRALIA.

Kangaroos Killed by the Thousand, But
Still Plentiful In Some Places.
The kangaroo plague, says Hard
wicke's Science Gossip, has always been
Q great nuisance to the Australian
squatters, for on an average these ami
mails consume as much grass as sheep.
It is stated that on sheep run of 60, 900
to $4,000 acres 10000 kangaroos were
killed annually for six consecutive
years, and yet their numbers remained
very formidable in the locality. In the
colony of South Australia hundreds of
thousands of kangaroos are slaughtered
annually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities. The num-
bers of these marsupials in New South
Wales In 1889 was estimated to be over
100000, and yet about 100000 kanga-
roos and 650,000 wallabies were de-
stroyed in the colony in that year. A
bonus of sixteen cents for each kanga-
roo killed is offered in Australia; hence
the colonists are gradually exterminat-
ing these native animals Over half a
million skins are annually shipped to
England and large number to North
America, to be converted into leather.
The macropidB includes several kinds
of kangaroos and wallabies. The prog
ress Of settlement in Australia has
driven these animals from the more
densely populated parts of the Austria
liam continent, but in the country and
unsettled districts they are still numer.
GUS enough to cause very considerable
damage to the natural grasses. Sc
| serious has been the in niurv thus yvro, ph1
that the colonial governments and xun
holders pay small sum per head fol
the destruction of the kangaroos.

twenty thousand swallows gather every
evening in the five or six maple trees in
front of the superintendent's residence
and make evening and morning hideous
with their cries. All efforts to drive
them away have failed, and bell and

drive the pests from the two trees next

disagreeable rendezvous is maintained
by the swallows.
