on Big Sandy creek in eastern Colorado.
This was then the terminus of the Den
yer lile of the Union Pacific, and you
can just bet the camp was hummer.
There were over 1000 people here, and a
gayer crowd you never saw. The popu-
latlon was made up OF railroad men,
cowboys, mule SINNERS, gamblers and a
preacher. aG "l So n# q"
''The latter was sometimes lonely, but
the $500 other people in camp were fair
ly sociable and managed to have a mod
erately good time, and everything ran
wide open, and in the palmiest days Of
the camp there were A saloons, dance
halls, 2 theaters and all the other things
necessary to the fabrication of existence
In the gay and bounding west. For two
years things were redhot, with fights,
shooting matches and lynching bees near
ly every night.
'Some of the old time engineers who
were jerking steam over the line then
say regular daily news item in railway
circles for awhile was to the effect that
a man or two had been hung the night
before to the bridge on the Sandy. The
lynching OF q man for muller was an
unusual event, but dire vengeance was
wreaked on the petty burglar, horse
thief or other unprincipled offender who
did not have the nerve 20 shoot, but
sneaked around after dark to do his nc.

julius LlchbcrS writes: AT the occa-
sion of i musical festival in Dusseldorf
l witnessed a scene that produced gen.
eral and not unjustifable excitement
among those present. 1t was at the last
rehearsal Of BCethoven's ninth or choral
symphony, and the great hall was filled
with people from near and far anxious
to hear the then but little known work.
While the orchestra played the first
movement we noticed dark bearded
specialized, middle aged man in the au-
dience, who had score before him and
was gesticulating wildly, being evident
ly very much dissatisfied with the per-
Torrance. Suddenly he arose, advanced
toward the orchestra and began to shout
"'This is all wrong. 1t was not thus
that my immortal friend, Beethoven
wanted his masterpiece to be played
You ought to play it much slower. and
in this way He began to beat time Wig.
orously to the astonished musicians, en-.
tirely ignoring Mendelssohn, who con.
Quoted the symphony. At this moment

Leopard Shooting.

Mr.. Simson writes thus: Il consider
that exposure to leopard on foot, with
due precaution and a proper weapon, is
only fair sporting risk, and accidents
must happen occasionally" Mr.. Sim
son is certainly entitled to speak. He
shot many leopards on foot; he was
twice badly wounded by leopard, but
on one of these occasions a third leopard
unexpectedly attacked him from behind,
when he had already killed two others
in the same patch of grass jungle.
Mr.. Simson mentions that an old
French gentleman whom he knew used
to go about hunting for leopards with a
nondescript sort of dog, half pariah and
half spaniel. when the dog smelled a
leopard, he would cock his ears and point
out from a respectful distance where tie
leopard lay. The Frenchman kept on
peeping and peering about, wholly re-
CARELESS of anything the leopard might
do in the way of attack, till he could
sight the animal. He then killed him
almost to a certainty with a single shot. "

An Easy Way to Keep Insects ON Trees

To trap various insects in the open
air, half fill wide necked bottles with
strip or sweetened water, adding enough
arsenic to make the liquid poisonous.
After rainstorm the bottles should be
emptied and reflied, as before TIC ntioned.
Hang the bottle on the branches of the
trees and among the bushes, etc. This
is ready and simple method of trapping
all insects that prey ON sweets, conse-
quently keeping the trees free from many
noxious pests that Prey ,-ccually on shade
and fr1is trens.--Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.
