"For a long time," says the Gin
cinnati Gazette, PRUSSIA has been a
friend of the United States. This
friendship would be better apprecia-
ted if the Government of the Gear
were not such a cruel tyranny on its
own people. Here, for an example,
is dispatch stating that $4,000
men, women and children are hud-
died in the Moscow prisons, awaiting
deportation to suffering and death in
Siberia" You can Judge a cause
very we'll by its sympathizers. And
the South is very well content to
have had the sympathy of England
and France in it's war for indepen
dence, when Russia sent its fleets
across the Atlantic to bolster up the
cause which was represented by Mr.

Gen. Bradley T. Johnston, of Bal
timore, favors the dropping of all
titles in associations of old soldiers.
He would have the general, the
private and all ranks between, meet
in such associations on perfect equal
ity. Gen. Johnston says the Mary
land Confederate societies have held
aloof from the rest, because the latter
seem to have multiplied colonies and
other titular persons, until they have
made the societies ridiculous. This
latter charge does not peculiarly lie
against Southern army orders, nor is
it peculiarly Southern fad to do too
much ''coloneling." The whole coun-
try is full of them. As Gen. Johnston
says, there are enough colonies al d
generals in New York, Southern and
Northern, to officer all the armies Of
the earth. 1t is very ridiculous; but
what can any body do about it g

the claims be allowed, to run the

A WILD WESTERN RIDE.
An Experience OF Three Boys on a
Colorado Ranch.

There are three of US, all boys. Steve
and Bob Meadows are my cousins, and
live on a ranch in Colorado. l live in
Denver, but in the summer visit my
cousins on the ranch. The rest of the
wear we all 90 to the Denver university,
my cousins staying at my house. Last
! fall fever broke out in the city, and
finally the school was closed for time
on account of it, so that all three of us
went down to the ranch. My uncle had
large herd of ponies, and, as | had
said that my cousins could not ride as
well as did, we spent lots OF time in
riding and racing, trying to settle the
dispute. Although my uncle had many
well broken horses we usually took
| those that were the hardest to manage
and the most spirited.
At breakfas. one morning, soon after
we went to the ranch, my uncle said:
Boys why don't you ride up and see
| the drove of thirteen thousand Texas
cattle? My largest herd is up that way,
| and you can camp out with my cowboys
tonight, if you like"
YES" replied Bob. land we might
get a shot at jack or a cotton tail on
| the way"
81 will put up lunch for you" said
my aunt.
Soon after breakfast we were ready.
As we fastened our lunch and stick
ers" on behind our saddles, Aunt Mead
ows remarked:
Now, Steve. don't shoot any more of
Mr.. Bentley's cows"
''Oh, hurry up, boys" calculated
Steve, with a very red face, and with
"Good-by, everybody" we were off.
What is that about shooting cows?"
I asked, as we galloped away.
"Oh. just mistook one of old Bent
lev's cows for bear" said Steve. Il
shot it. and he was ready to XIII me.
You see he has two or three cows that
he keeps for milking. and this was one
of them. lie has never forgiven me, al
though he was paid in full"
We went gayly on. Soon Bob ex-
claimed: ''See that jack over there.
Bet you quarter you can't him.
Steve"
Done" was the answer.
Hastily opening his rife. Steve
slipped cartridge into it. The rabbit
was pelting over the ground off to our
left. We paid no attention to a dog
that was chasing it
Steve fred. but did not make allow
snce for the rate at which they were
moving. The bullet struck the ground
near the dog, vino swerved and went
off at a sharp angle to the course he
had been pursuing.
Steve's horse ''bucked" SO suddenly
at the sound OF the shot that ne was
thrown to the ground and I gave chase
to the horse. while Bob stopped to see
if his brother was hurt
After some trouble caught the run
awav. As l turEed / thought / saw
several men where | left only Steve
and Bob, and when l. drew near
found that stranger was talking TO
them All three seemed angry and the
newcomer was fairly raving.

Bob explained that this was Mr..
Bentley. who had been hunting.
Stevc's shot had frightened his dog.
He had q double barreled gun on his
arm, both hammers full cock. and he
was swinging it around very careiessly.
