Its all bosh, this talk about cow
boys learning to enjoy the sport of
riding bucking horse" said re
formed cowboy. "Riding a bucking
horse Is like having boils; you never
get thoroughly used to 1t. When you
hear q fellow say that he would like
to ride bucking horse he is either n
liar or . greenhorn. The first day l
ever went out with herd Of cattle l
was dumped nine times because of the
presence of a cactus burr in my saddle
blanket. I have never seen but one
man that had grit enough to sit on a
real bucking horse until 1t had buckcd
all 1t wanted to, and he was bleeding
at the nose, mouth and ears when they
took him or the horse at the end of u
half-hour's struggle. As a general
thing. a cowboy will pull horses
head up, wind the reins around the
saddle-horn, take a firm grip on the
saddle with his hands. and then rowel
the bucker until the animal becomes
convinced that 1t is better to behave
than to buck"

Carnot and Superstition.

An interesting discovery has Just
been made by contributor to n
French periodical, who has apparently
a touch Of superstition in his charac-
ter concerning numbers. Whether or
no he believes in the mysterious and
uncanny influence Of No. 13 is not
stated; but he points out that the un-
fortunate President Carnot was
throughout his life under the influence,
so to say, of the figure Z. He was
born In 1897, and entered the Ecole
Polytechnic in 1857. He became pres
ident Of the republic In 1857. in virtue
of the seventh article Of the constitu-
ton On the 18th day Of May in the
present year he presided at the GEN.
tenary fetes at the Ecole Polytechnic
He died in the 57th year OF his age,
and in the seventh year Of his presi-
dency. In the carriage in which he
was seated when assassinated there
were, including the driver. etc, seven
persons, the crime being committed on
4 Sunday, the seventh day OF the week.
by Caserio, an Italian, there being. re-
spectively, seven letters in these two
words. To conclude this list of sevens
It Is pointed out that NJ. Carnots re-
mains were laid in the tomb in the
seventh month OF the year, and on the
seventh day after the murder was
committed. 1t might be added that
Caserio came from Cette to commit it,
and that the pronunciation Of Cette
and sept (seven) is identical.

Travelling from Paris to Nice in a
car. an insolent young fellow made
himself objectionable to a lady. Col.
Scovill told the young man that he had
to stop 1t or be elected from the car
on the end Of a boot. He then sat
near the lady and saw that she was
not molested. At Nice he was waited
upon by the seconds Of the young man.
He intimated he did not care to fight,
but remarked that II he saw the young
man insulting any lady he would kick
him. The next day the seconds called
again and said their principal wanted
satisfaction and gore. The colonel had
them bring him around. "Now, young
fellow, put up your hands, for l am
going to thrash you, If can," said the
colonel. The young fellow was
knocked out, and the colonel remarked,
That will teach you not to be insolent

SHOT FIVE PERSONS.
Fearful Work of Drunken sisvs ut wilkes
barre.

barre.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 13.-As the re-
suit of a drunken riot at Maltby, q
small Hungarian settlement near this
city, one person was instantly killed,
two fatally wounded and two others
seriously injured.
A Slav named Michael Palosk was
the cause of the wholesale shooting Of
human game. Early in the evening
Paloski became intoxicated and going
to the saloon of John Moore, started q
quarrel. He was ordered from the
saloon, and becoming enraged at this,
started for home to procure a shot gun.
He got the gun and on his way to the
saloon encountered Dan Ryan, who
was sitting on his porch, together with
Lizzie Fosky and Maggie Moore. Ryan
advised Paloski to go home, but the
latter, who was in a terrible rage,
raised his gun and fired.
The two girls received most of the
shots and fell to the porch shriekins
with pain and with blood squirting
from their wounds. John Moore, who
had been attracted by the shooting,
quickly picked up his sister and Ryan
gathered up the Fosky girl in his arms
and both made rush for the door to
escape the enraged Slav. Before the
"NiC hpit " S't VI thS
door, the drunken fiend emptied the
contents of the second barrel into the
girls, Moore receiving part Of the load
in his knee.
The shooting attracted a large crowd
and Paloski was Joined by two Of his
countrymen, who were also supplied
with guns. John jenkins attempted to
arrest Paloski, when he emptied load
of shot in his stomach. The crowd
then pushed in upon the Slavs and at
tempted to disarm them, but the three
men escaped to their boarding house
and barricaded the door. The men
thrust their heads through window
and Threatened to kill the first pers n
attempting to enter. The crowd began
to fall back, and as they did so one "f
the three men fired but the shot had
no effect
People living on the opposite Of the
street were attracted by the shooting
and had their heads out of the win
dows. One OF these was George Sivos
XII. One Of the Slavs seeing the head
Of the boy took deliberate aim and fired
and the full charge struck the unfor
tunate boy on the left side of the
head. tearing half OF his head and
face away. The boy fell dead.
The horror-stricken neighbors closed
their windows and barricaded their
doors. The murderers finding no hu-
man beings to shoot at turned their
guns on lighted windows, posts and
trees and anything their fancy sug
gested. After all had become quiet.
several men armed with revolvers and
shotguns went to the house of the Slavs
to arrest the murderers. but they were
nowhere to be found. Two men were
arrested at Kingston this morning on
suspicion OF having been connected
with the shooting. Two guns carried
by the murderers were found In .

Japanese folks have six or eight
pockets cunningly inserted in the cuffs
of their wide sleeves. These pockets
are always filled with curious miscel-
lany peculiar to the droll little people.
As common as twine in young Amer
ica's pocket is the prayer amulet writ
ten on delicate sheets of rice paper
and composed by the bronzes. In ac-
cordance with the abiding and funny
faith of the japanese women these
prayers are swallowed, paper and all,
like a pill in all cases of physical
and mental distress. Another essen
tial never missing, is number of
small squares of silky paper, which
is to be put to the most unexpected
purpose-to hold the stem of lotus
or lily, to dry a teacup, wipe away
tear or blow the absurd little nose Of
the doll-like little woman. The very
smartest people of Japan use this
style of handkerchief for practical pur-
poses. After using, a ball is made of
the paper, and it is thrown in the
street with disgust

i.uor that the Rips" proprietor boast
i If. There was a certain poker game
"layed in the sixties that made the
zip famous. 1t was between Jack St-
yers, New Englander, and a Butte
ounty miner, and two sharpers from
'hc South. Suvers lost 5000 in dust
and a number of valuable jewels be-
fore he had had enough. He shrugged
his shoulders and walked away, but
the little girl, the daughter Of one Of
The barkeepers, who had been watch
ing the game, said to him innocently,
as he sauntered up to the bar: Say,
mister, one of those men had two
decks Of cards in his pocket" Stivers
waited until the sharpers had turned
their backs, then he drew a pistol
from his pocket and commanded them
to turn around. He then compelled
them to give up their winnings. He
then called to everybody in the house
TO look at the thieves. Shortly after
this episode, one of the sharpers was
killed at Sacramento, while trying to
fleece a stage driver.
