ton. The Burlington people ordered
their men to quit, but the telegram did
not reach the contractors in time, SO the
attorney and Sheriff Ramsey went down
to Huntley to serve the injunction and
stop the workmen. When the yard en-
gine from Billings came in sight Sub
Contractor Hammond concluded that
he was fond Of bull berries, 30 he went
to the brush to pick some, and all OF the
employees Of Fitzpatrick Bros. d Collins
had to find some stakes a mile or so
down the grade. Now, all four OF these
gentlemen are jolly good fellows and
their sizes correspond with their whole
some dispositions, and when the four
step on the scales the beam will jump
to the top very quickly with the 800
pound weights on. The bull berry

that all OF them could find enough cover
to protect them for couple of hours
from the hot sun, while their men com
pleted the grade over the right OF way.
OF course there was no collusion among
them; they all had business away at the
same time. AS it stands the grade is
finished, and commencing about the %
inst, the Burlington trains will run over
their own track to Huntley, and from
thence to Billings on the track Of the
Northern Pacific westward. and the re-
lation between the two roads will be Of
the most friendly character.

The Pail Mall Gazette recently
asked its readers to name the worst
railway in England. And one Eng
lsh kicker answered thus: 'Sir-The
Southeastern railway is the very
worst railway in the world. The en-
gines are asthmatic. Its lamps are
trimmed by foolish virgins. Its fares
are excessive. Its carriages let in the
snow in winter and are furnaces in
summer. Its motto is unpunctuality.
Its principal station is approached
through the neck Of bottle. It ruins
the temper, destroys the digestion

MEANING OF ANTIQUE.
The Word Defined by the United States
Customs Officials.

There are many curious features OF
customhouse law. Some of them are
in the statutes, others have been estab.
lished by the decisions of the courts or
the practice of the treasury depart.
nent. The common law of England
has been known for three hundred
years as 'the perfection of reason" A
good deal of the present customhouse
law of the United States might be we'll
called the perfect of eccentricity. An
instance was brought out few days
ago when the officers seized valuable
collection of old English silver plate,
which Mr.. j. r. Willis, the London
representative of r. Hoe & Co., sent
over as gift to Mr.. Hoe. Mr. Willis
knew that the collections of antiqui-
ties were on the fee list, and this was a
collection of antiquities he invoiced the
plate accordingly.
But the customs officers discovered
that some of the plate was produced
later than 1900. Mr.. Willis did not
know that anything manufactured in
1899 is antique, in view of the customs
laws, but that an article just like it
and equally incrusted with the marks
OF age, but made in 1901, is modern.
How this distinction grew up is good
illustration of how custom-house law
is made. Eight years ago Mr.. Mat
thias ii. Arnot, a wealthy citizen of
Elmira, purchased lot of paintings by
old masters at the sale of the duke of
Hamilton's great collection. The Gus
tomhouse disputed his entry of the
lot as antiquities, and Mr.. Arnot con-
tested the matter in the courts. The
question was settled by an agreement
between the lawyers that the pictures
which dated further back than 1900
should be classed as antiques, and
those of later date as modern and du-
TABLE
Secretary Fairchild, during his head
ship of the treasury department, ac-
cepted the precedent, and incorporated
it into the unwritten law by decision
establishing 100 as the line of demar-
cation between antique and modern,
and in the Mckinley bill it was enacted
into law.
Another obstacle which many private
citizens have encountered in purchas-
ing antiquities under the supposition
that they were safe in the protection
of the free list is the fact that it is
only collections of antiquities that are
free. Single antiquities have to pay
duty. A Union square firm had an ex-
perience of this kind when they i'm
ported the celebrated Mexican sun god
opal to put in their exhibit at the
Worlds fair. The firm bought this in
London, and entered it as an antiquity,
but found that as it was alone duty
of several thousand dollars had to be
paid. If any cheap bit of trash made
before 100 had been brought in with it
there would have been no duty.-N. Y.

THE COWBOYS LASSO.
with 1t He Is Almost as Good Marksman
as with the Rifle.

With 1t He Is Almost as BOD "a Marksman
as with the Rifle.
The cowboys of New Mexico, Texas
and Arizona are all skilled in the art
of using the lasso," said a Santa Fe
man recently. 81 used to be in the
ranching line myself, and once thought
l could throw a rope as straight as any
man living. But that was before had
mixed to any extent with the MeXi-
cans. AS good as the American cow
boys are, they can't hold candle to a
greaser when it comes to the roping
business. They can do things with
hemp that no other mortals can ever
hope to accomplish AS the Australian
stands out pre-eminently in throwing
the boomerang, so does the ignorant
son of the land of God and liberty eX-
coed all other men in this one ac-
complishment.
"a Mexican will chase steer at full
speed, and while he guides his bronco
with one hand whirl his rope with I'M
erring aim with the other, and it isn't
once in a thousand times that the
moose will fail to catch just where the
rider meant. A favorite trick with
them is to stick lot of long-handled
knives in the ground close together
within the limits of narrow circle
and bet with outsiders that they can
ride past at racehorse speed and pick
up any one of the knives designated
with a rope. They are good marks
men with the rife, too, but in this re-
gard the cowsboys are fully their
peers. "-Washington Post.

WHEELS IN THE ARMY.
Great Increase In Bicycles for the Armies
of Europe.

| Great Increase In Bicycles for the Armies
| of Europe.
The use of bicycles in all the armies
of Europe has been enormously in
| creased during the last two years. In
| Holland members of the various bicycle
clubs who have already attained their
| twenty-frst year and are proficient in
their art are invited to join the army
under certain advantageous conditions.
The number of posts offered is seventy
| five. The candidates are paid fifty
guldens year for the wear and tear
of their machines, are given the rank
of corporal, and presented with a
uniform to be worn during service
When upon duty the bicycles are
allowed five guldens a day. From
the 1st of March to the 30th of April
| they receive instruction twice week
from an officer in military affairs. The
candidates have to bind themselves to
be ready during a space of five years to
be called out at any moment by the
war minister, and also to attend ma
neuvers for at least three weeks every
year. At the end of the first five years
they can enter on another term of five
years. These arrangements are said to
have met with great success in Hol-
land, and it is probable that the num-
Der of military bicyclists will shortly
be increased.
In Portugal bicycles have been intro
duced in the army and have met with
much success. They were proved in
the great maneuvers which took place
at Tancos to supply a want long felt.
In Spain bicycle instruction in the
infantry and rife corps now forms
speciality. Money prizes are offered
to the best riders. In time of ma
neuvers the bicycles are used for the
carrying of dispatches, posts, etc. In
Bulgaria, since 1893, to every six divis-
ions bicycle corps, consisting of one
non-commissioned officer and eight
men, is told off.
In Denmark a certain number of re-
cruits undergo a course of instruction
in bicycling. In France, since 1893, at
least two men in every regiment are
told off for bicycle work. Sweden, for
some years, has paid particular after
ton to the use of bicycles in military
service. The velocipede corps wear in.
fantry uniform, and are armed with re-
volvers To every division ten men are
told off to belong to this corps, and are
specially instructed in fore-post duty
reading of military maps, and in the
surveying of roads, bridges, etc.-Lon-

Mckinley at Grand Rapids.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 12.-The
citizens OF st. Johns and Owosso We're
out in force to hear Governor Mckinley
today and there was an unusual DEM
onstration. Nearly $4,000 men stood
in the rain in front of the hotel and
listened to the speaker Just in front
of the hotel some enterprising Demo -
Grad had suspended Il huge sign in
scribed, Our factories are all busy,
the result of the Wilson bill, and some
equally enterpriSing Republican got a
big canvas with the single word "Eug7
lard" painted on it, and two stout
looking men faithfully held this on
poles under the Democratic sign. Gov
ernor Mckinley gave his audience IA
talk about the Republican party.
