The Plucky Spaniel,

Captain Williamson was shooting
in India with spaniel, which ap-
parently found some game which his
master guessed to be hare. "The
dog came to stand over bank,
wagging its tail, with ears up, and
Lis whole frame IN state of ecstacy.
/ expected that he had got hare un-
der the bank, and as the situation was
in favor OF getting shot, ran to-
ward him with more speed than
should have done had 1 known that
should find tiger sitting up aud STAR
ing Paris in tho face; they We're not
three yards asunder. AS soon as the
dog found me at his side he barked,
and giving spring, dashed at the
tiger. His owner admits that his own
alarm was SO extreme that he did not
observe the further demeanor Of either
till he saw the tiger cantering away,
followed by the little dog barking. Il
is, of course. just possible that the
tiger was ssnervous," and that the lit.
tie dog merely exhibited the impu.
dence habitual to little dogs, who
know that they can worry horse or Z
bullock into beating retreat when
quietly lying down in field. = The
Spectator.

1t was indeed prize; the fox wa'
large and the fur in the most perfec
condition. The body of it was i'
black as jet, while every hair tapered
off to brilliant silvery white which
made the whole pelt look as if it were
constantly emitting sparks of cleo.
tricity.
But what was to be done with iti
To whom did it belong?
"Drethren," said the minister, form
ing church meeting on the spot, with
the fox as the centre of interest, "this
is the Lords Day, and my heart mis-
gives me as to the propriety of our
conduct in suffering ourselves to be
betrayed into fox hunt upon the
Sabbath. But the skin of the fox is
of great value; and since it has come
into our hands for disposal, ask you
TO vote the proceeds to the Society for
the Civilization of the Micmac In
dams"
What more he would have said.
none could tell, for he was interrupted
by Uncle Sol, who said, with much
earnestness: sNa, ma! brethren; II
the Sabbath hae been broken, it must
be mendit diff'rent fra that. Ye ken
how that the meenister's BARNS hae
hardly claes eneuch to keep the frost
fra their marrow. Claes is ceeviliza-
ton, an the Lord sent the fox for the
ceevilization Of the meenister's BARNS; |;
an 1 move that the Lords will be
DONE"
The motion was carried by acclama-
ton, notwithstanding an attempted
protest oil the part of the minister,
and in spite of the bushes and con-
fusion of the BARNS themselves.
The skin brought thirty-six dollars,
every penny of which went on ten
penny errands in the hands of Mrs.
Washington, who made such a skill
full transmutation of the skin in clothes
that Uncle Sors motion, the first and
the last one he ever made, was fully
justified.-[New York Independent

zone of the most stylish driving
horses in this city has no ears remarked
Eugene Carter, of Omaha, to friend 81
the LindelI. 81 won't disclose the name
OF the owner, but the horse is driven on
the boulevard every fine day for exer-
else. He can easily trot In 2:35 with
out skip, and his disposition makes him
one of the most valuable family horses In
st. Louis. My brother raised the horse.
When colt the animal had his ears
frozen so badly that when the healing
process set in they sloughed off within an
inch of the head. The colt was the most
promising one In my brother Dams
stables, but tho loss of his ears made him
unstable. Dan broke him three years
ago, and he showed speed from the first
trial. In less than six months he troted
in ESQ, but the absence OF ears placed
hoodoo upon his real value. Dan con-
ceived the idea of pair of artificial ears,
aud skilled veterinary surgeon had
them made and fitted them accurately to
the stumps. They more than fulfilled
expectations, for, fastened securely to
his head by an elastic band, they defed
the closest inspection, and had, when at
tached to the stumps, every motion made
by natural ear.
"a gentleman from st. Louis visiting
in Omaha took fancy to the horse and
asked what money it would take to buy
him. Dan asked good sum.
..I'll take him at that price if you will
deliver him to me in st. Louis sound as
he is today" said the gentleman.
.sThe bargain was concluded and $500
was paid on the spot, the balance to be
paid upon delivery. Dan was shipping
stock to this morket, and tho gelding
made one of the next car load. / came
with them and delivered the horse, re-
ceiving the balance of the money. As
the gentleman had been previously in
formed OF the deformity, there was no
kick, and the next day saw the brown
horse hitched to an elegant phaeton con-
tanning the gentleman's vile and two
children. The horse could not be pur-
chased to-day for $500. st. Louis Re-

Painting by MuIe-Power.

Walter Burridge, the artist, is,paint-
ing the great volcano Kilauea, the elm
ferno Of the Pacific" upon a canvas
412 feet long and 81 feet high-22. .248
square feet-which shows the wonders
of the greatest crater of the globe.
This painting, with the accessory spec
tacular effects, will form the volcano
cyclorama in the Midway Plaisance,
which forms part of the Hawaiian ex-
hibit for the Worlds Fair. Almost
directly south Of the University of
Chicago and east of the Cairo street
stands polygonal building nearly
140 feet in diameter and 60 feet high.
Inside the building on circular track
is movable scaffold 55 feet in height
Well up to the top Of the staging two
men are at work welding large brush
es which.paint in the sky on the cir
cular canvas that lines the interior of
the building. and the slapping of the
brushes comes down family to two
Iong-eared, loose-jointed, lazy-looking
mules harnessed to the car which car
ries the high scafold. These mules
don't know the difference bet ween a
wash drawing circus poster, but
sney are very large actors in painting
kilauea.
A shout from above, "Hey. there,
Alpher and Omega, git upl" in Bur-
ridges voice, emphasized by chunk
of wood landing on Omega's quiescent
spinal column, gives the cue, and the
artists long cared assistants shake of
the stupor of meditation and day
dreams and pull the creaking,
trembling scaffold around the track
until sharp "Whoa!" sends them
wool-gathering again. Painting by
mu.e power is one of those innova-
tons brought out by the tremendous
pressure under which all work is done
in Jackson Park and the Midway
Plaisance.-[Chicago News Record.

What a Maverick Is.

Some years ago a man named Nav
crick located near Austin, Texas. and
went into the stock business. He had
considerable money and established a
large ranch, mostly Of cattle. He was
what might bc termed progressive
man, but his ideas of progress wore
not suitable to his surroundings. For
instance, he concluded, that branding
cattle was uscless-in fact, barbarous
and he determined that the red hot
iron should never again be pressed
gainst the side of All animal belonging
to him. He kept his word, but he
didn't keep his cattle. This was q
regular picnic for the cowboys of that
locality, who Of all things could never
be accused of being at all scrupulous
on questions of honor, especially when
there was steer involved in the case.
Well, the cowboys picked up Mavcr-
ick's cattle wherever they could ind
them, and it was not long before every
hoof of them was gonc and ho was re-
duccd to almost poverty. Ever since
that every unbranded head of cattle
over six months of age has been
called maverick and is regarded by
the cowboy as the property of him
who first finds it and sticks his brand
on it.-[Louisville it. Commercial.
