Cured a sensational shooting affair
which will probably result In the death
OF one Miss Emma Watson. A young
man named Sam Self, alias Sam Green,
had long loved her and had often told
her 90, and asked her to become his
wife. They attended the same school,
and this afternoon they started home
together. As they were walking
for distance Of three or four hundred
yards through a field, he pressed his
claim again. all to no purpose. Finally
they came to u fence through which was
an opening, the top rail beingiuposition.
Self asked for final answer, aud it
came in the negative. He stepped back
as il to let her pass through the fence,
and as she stopped to pass under the
top rail he drew from his pocket a pis-
tol, shot her through the head and
fled
Immediately a warrant was sworn out
and posse started in search OF the
fugitive. 1t was after a lively chase
that he was captured. The feeling in
the community grew 30 high that lynch
ing was feared, aud the officers tele-
phoned TO Prosecuting Attorney Nc
Gary TO know what they should do with
the prisoner. They were advised TO
start at once with him to the county
jail at this place, and a constable with

NEW YORK, March 25.-The very general
impression which now prevails that the presi-
dent will veto the seigniorage bill, had the
effect of strengthening the Wall street mar

vocation. Tie decline in sterling exchange
rates was also an element of strength in the
speculative situation in as much as il remoy ed

COUNT LIVE STOCK
How the Animals Help the Herd.
ers on the Great Ranches
Each " Leader Has . Following Varying
In Size from Forty tn One Hundred
Members-Formationo of the
Little Troops.

ANY person who has ever tried TO
count even one or two hundred cattle
or sheep in an open field, writes Fl. E.
Smith in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
knows that. simple as it might seem
before trying it, it is by no means an
easy matter. For animals thus seen IN
masses look SO much alike and are con-
stantly changing their places. pushing
each other about. and making so much
confusion, that one can never feel sure
that he has not counted some of the
animals several times over.
This being the case. how are to be
counted the great herds OF thousands
of cattle which are to be found in some
of our own western states, and still
vaster herds which range the immense
plains of the countries of South Amer
lea?
In our northern and eastern states,
when it becomes necessary to count
several hundred cattle, il is usually
done by driving them through mar
row lane, which effectually prevents
the passage of more than few ami
mails at a time. and prevents them
from moving too rapidly and getting
in each others way.
On the great pampas of South Amer
lea, however, or the great prairies Of
the west, there are no such Enclosures,
and it would be impossible ever to
count the enormous herds-sometiInes
as many as fifteen thousand in a single
herd-without the help of the animals.
This help they quite unconsciously
but effectively render. Just as human
beings. even when living in great cit
les, naturally divide themselves into
larger or smaller groups of families
which associate chiefly with each
other. so do the individuals of the
large cattle herds form smaller groups
-tropillas, or little troops, they are
called in South MISUNDERSTANDING
anywhere from forty to a hundred
members.
Each "tropilla" has one member
who, by reason of his superior strength
or sagacity. has obtained sort of SUI
premacy over the rest. These leading
ANIMALS are all known to the owners
or herdsmen, either by some natural
marking or popularity or by the own
er's brand, as the case may be. The
number of these leaders is always
known, and it is easy to carry that in
mind and to become familiar with the
number of animals which follow each.
Thus in riding over the many miles
of territory which are often embraced
in one 'estancia," or cattle farm, the
herdsman, knowing just how many
tropillas there should be, and just how
many animals there should be in each
one, has no difficulty in ascertaining il
any of his thousands Of cattle have
strayed away or been stolen.
During stormy nights the frightened
cattle often mingle together, just as
people do in times of great public
calamity. But when morning and sun
shine come again, the little troops
form themselves once more, showing
that each individual is able to recog-
nize his own mates and the leader
among the thousands of a vast herd,
just as the individuals of a human
family recognize each other in the
crowds of great city.

How to Eat An Orange.

There are many ways Of eating or
anges, but the Floridian has probably
the most common-sense way of dispos-
ing of the fruit. He uses sharp knife
and pares the orange much the same as
one would peel an apple, taking caro-
not to cut through the white rind that
protects the pulp. Then holding the
orange at the poles and cutting
through the center the seed pots are
removed. The rest is easy. As col
ored boy in jacksonville said: Put
youah face m it and eat till you come to
the rind." The white rind forms a
natural cup for the juice, and anyone
who ever tries this method will never
think of removing the skin in the old
way and quartering the fruit.
