The first thing to be done was obvi-
ously to go and look at them. Now,
am no great judge of horsefesh, though,
like most other men, l fancy know a
good nag when l see one, than which
there is no commoner delusion among
mankind. 1t was therefore necessary
to take some one with me who knew
more than myself. l don't suppose
there was youngster in the regiment
who would have hesitated to accom-
pany me on that same understanding
for all our fellows seem to think that
the mere fact of being in a cavalry reg
iment confers upon them an absolute in
fallibility in such matters, but at least !
knew enough not to trust in them.
There was not man of them who
would not have voted for having "a shy
with the crooks, or would not cheer
fully back them through esprit de corps,
or with equal cheerfulness borrow mon
sy of me to pay up with after the shy.
However, by lucky chance, the very
man | wanted was within reach. This
was Natty FCrwood, as knowing lit-
tie chap as you d find in a days ride.
He'd been our coxswain at Oxford what
time | rcwed in the college boat, and
clever he was with the lines as a water

Ndtty paid no attention to this remark.
vert, after the manner of mankind. the
opinion l had been at SO much pains to
secure, the horses were round again, and
the mare, who had been going unkind-
ly all the time, now swerved and then
| stopped, refusing to pass the wicket
which led back to the boxes. In vain
the lad urged her. She showed temper
and dashed cut.
Get off, my lad, " said Natty, and
took the boys place in the saddle.
How he managed it don't know, but
! somehow he succeeded, though a total
stranger to her, in getting the jade I'M
der way again, and she certainly went
much better in his hands.
"A queer tempered one, " Purkiss said
she was. The mare had shown some
speed at the beginning of the preceding
season and had won an unimportant race
or two. but after that she had trained
off, and he. Purkiss, did not think she
would ever run straight again.
"What did you say she was by, and
what name did she run under?" Nat in
quired carelessly when he had dis
mounted

and master called her Skittles. "

a good horse, and the dam was a very

Eyes, sir, but the mare don't seem
to sort after one nor t'other of 'em.
She s bad doer and bad temper, and
don't believe as she'll ever do any
thing, sir. "
Perhaps net. You like the colt bet
ter, then, Purkiss?"
Il do, sir-a deal better. He's quite
another stamp, is Brilliant. They amt
to be named in the same day"
Il fancy you are right there. "
After this Natty said nothing more
about the horses until we were on our
way home. Then, as we lighted our
cigars while waiting for his train at
Templeton, | said: Il see you don't
think much of my legacy, Nat. l sup
pose you advise me to sell both the
horses, together with the brood mares,
FOR what they will fetch?"

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
Annual Report Of Secretary Of Interior
Smith.

WAsHINeTsN. D. G.. Nov. aa.-The annnal
report Of Secretary lfoke Smith Of the Interior
Department deals largely with Indian affairs:
II urge q treatment of Indian land based solely
on the purpose ofrealizing from It for its owners
the highest possible value. What is best for The
Indians. to keep their land or to sell it ? Ifthe
members OF q tribe have reached state
sufficiently civilized to be able to progress still
further by selling portion of their land. then
the sales should be made. but the land should
not be purchased from the Indians at the best
bargain the United States can make 1t should
be sold for the Indians By the United States, the
department acting as II faithful trustee and
obtaining for the Indians every dollar 1t will
bring
"rhe policy of the Government should be to
recognize the land Of the Indian reservation as
the property of the particular Indians who own
It The different lands should be studied to see
how best their value can be increased. There
are ample public lands In the United States for
home seekers; can we not be satisfied to allow
to tho administration OH behalf of the Indians
the little we huve left them?"
An appendix t1 the report publishes in full
the report of ,1e Commissioners of the Five
Civilized Tribes. The Secretary calls attention
to the duty which rests upon the United States
to preserve law and order throughout the
Indian Territory and insists that as the right to
do SO cannot be obtained by agreement with the
tribes. it must be forced as duty without
regard to the wishes of those who control the
tribes. He does not specially recommend the
organization OF new Territory. but does urge
| that the courts In Arkansas should be abandoned
and the Jurisdiction .of the United States courts
be obtained over the Territory without regard to
citizenship This would give an opportunity
for the members Of the various tribes who feel
that they are deprived Of their just quota of
lands to petition the United States courts Tor
allotments In scveralty Of the portions to which
they are respectively entitled
By resort to such means those Indians who
wish their lands in severalty could obtain
tllcm and thus gradually, at least the holding
of lands in common would pass away and they
would be held by individuals

The Old Roman.

In referring to the recent Democratic defeat
the venerable Allen g. Thurman says: IN 1876
the Democrats were whipped worse than Mt the
present time, but this defeat was like an earth
quake. Two years ago we carried everything,
and some Thought we would do the same this
year. But became a little uneasy and did not
advise any of my friends to bet. But we arc
bound to beat them, and why? Because the
Democratic party Is the natural party of free
institutions. I'll be gone perhaps but party
founded on the principles OF free government
will stand SO long as that government is main
tanned. You have been in worse places than at
the present time and came out all right and you
will como out all right again.

Given Thirty Years.

The Cook gang are having their day in court
today, and have not only taken up most of the
time Of Judge Parkcr's court but will occupy
the attention of the court for several days to
come.
Thurman Balding better known as "Skecter,' u
Jesse Snder and William Farris were up first to
receive their sentences. Skeeter was given ten
years for the Red Fork robbery. ten years fol
the robberyof McDermotts store and the same
for the robbery of the postotfice at McDermotts s.
making In all thirty years.
Snider and Farris were not in the Red Forl
robbery and were only indicted for the Nc
Dermott store and postoilice robbery. They goi
twenty years each.
There are no other indictments against
Skcctcr. and while he is charged with having
been in many others, of some of which he is nc
doubt guilty. the cases will not be pressed, as
his sentence already amounts to lifetime in the
pcnitcntiary. Smith Record goth.

OF wheat have been fed to hogs In Iowa this
