WHEN THE BELT RAN OFF.
How q Facetious Western D-unmer
Scared an Englishman.

bow . Facetious Western Drummer
Scared an Englishman.
There was very green Engldsman
at Butte City, Mont, who was talking
about purchasing land near by for a
horse ranch, and as he strolled around
the depot the half-dozen drummers
who happened to meet there put up a
Job on him. One of them borrowed a
coat and hat of a ranchero, took the
cartridges out of his revolver, and
with the weapon held aloft in his
hand be suddenly jumped into the
waiting-room and yelled:
"Whoop. I'm a cantankerous old
fighter from the heahwaters of Fight
ing creek. I'm halfihoss and half-alli-
gator? I'm down on everything that
walks on two legs. particularly En-
glishmen. Whar's the bloody. bloomin'
Briton who called me "A lial.?'
whats the row about?" inquired
the Englishman as he came to a halt
and faced about.
"Whoop. I've fit in three wars and
kept a graveyard of my own the rest of
the time" shouted the terror as he
danced around. Down on yer mar
row-bones and beg my pardon if you
want to live two minutes longer"
Not If / know it," 0rawled the
Briton, cool as ice. and he squared off
and landed a taumper on the drum
mer's nose, which piled him over
among the stocks of peits and dazed
him so that he couldn't speak for the
next five minutes. We had to hold
the foreigner" to keep him from fol-
lowing up. and when the drummer had
been sponged off and brought to he
sat down on baggage-truck and held
his nose and reflected for long time.
Then he slowly remarked:

MOTTO TO COATS-OF.ARMS.
The Motto Ought Really Not To CoAtai
Moro Than Eight Syllables.

The Motto Ought Really Not {" Contain
Moro Than Eight syilables.
The art of composing the motto was
subjected 10 severe rules. The body
and the soul" were required to be in
such relation to each other that the
''soul' should invariably explain the
body" The legend must be concise,
neatly turned and ingeniously sug
gestive-like the "Desdichado" of the
disinherited knight in "Ivanhoe," says
the Year Round.
1t had always to be applicable to the
person as well as o the material object
forming the body" and it must not
be drawn from things unknown, nor
must it be too enigmatic or too facile,
too humble, or above all. too arrogant.
Again. it was essential that the fig
ure should be agreeable to the eye and
its idea to the mind. Finally the de-
vice was perfect only when the body"
was unique and the 'soul," or motto,
in a language which was not the
mother tongue of him who bore it.
The motto ought not to contain
more than eight syllables. That of
our order of the Garter. "Honi soft
qui NAL y pense," contains only seven;
that of our kings, "Dieu ct mon
droit," only four. The device of Leo
X. was a yoke with 'Suave" for the
motto-''The yoke of the Lord is
sweet" That of Henry I'LL, king Of
France and Poland. two crowns on the
earth and one up above, with the
motto: 'Manet ultima coelo;" that
of Charles ". the pillars of Hercules.
and the legend, ''Ne plus ultra"

Reindeer In Alaska.

General Agent Sheldon Jackson has
made special report to the presiden.
concerning the introduction of Sibe-
rian reindeer into Alaska by the gov
eminent. The plan is pronounced
thoroughly successful. though slow
progress has been made owing to lack
of sufficient appropriate tons During
last summer 127 reindeer were pur-
chased in Siberia, 1874 of which were
safely landed at the station. This
made a total of $40 in September
Herds of 100 reindeer each have been
given to four mission stations; and dis
tribution to various other stations viii
follow as the herd increases. Tho
statements that the superstition of the
Siberian natives would prevent tho
purchase of live reindeer, that deer
could not survive transportation, that
it is impossible for them to thrive in
Alaska, and that the Alaskan dogs
would scatter and destroy them, has
been disproved by experience.

A Climatic Necessity There and n Jealous

MOVING DAY HINTS.
How Mach Of the Usual Discomfort May
BE Avoided.


BE Avoided.
As the season for moving and house
cleaning will soon be upon us it may
be worth while to consider ways and
means whereby it may be robbed OF
half its horrors. 1t has been said, not
without ju stice, that moving day and
housekeeping time are the most I'M
comforta Bile epochs in the househ old
er's life. The masculine portion of the
family especially feels their depressing
influence, and it is due to them as well
as to the credit of the menage To make
everything move as pleasantly as this
transition state will allow.
To begin with, if good fortune or
dams that you are to move into new
house, or, at any rate, one that is not
being vacated as you come into
possession, the first step is to
have the cleaning done and the
carpets laid before the vans
have started from your former
home 1t is wise to send the carpets
away to cleaners and have them re-
turned to the new abode just in time
TO form the background to the chairs
and bedsteads that are on the wing.
When the carpets are down things do
not appear one-half so wildly chaotic,
and the feelings to certain degree
are saved by this bit of foresight.
The taking up of carpets necessitates
much heavy work, and it is well to hire
d. man for this purpose, though many

carpet we. implore you draw the tacks

ice for china and books. but ii Is not

Instances Of the Treaehefy and Wicked.
ness of the Elephant.
According to my observation, the
elephant is intelligent in. diabolical
way at times, but rarely ever up to the
mark when it's intelligence would be
useful So with its docility. That
quality is prominent. no doubt, when
the exhibition of it Is convenient to
the elephant but one often looks for
it in vain when it is needed for the con-
venience of any other living creature.
Then the elephant is q revengeful
beast. 1t is treacherous often, and,
with few exceptions, an arrant coward.
How very uncertain the docility OF
an elephant may be, and how revenge
may be substituted for that quality,
was illustrated by an event that is
fresh in my mind, says a writer in
Blackwoed's Magazine. A mahout
tried to drive his elephant into the CEN
ter Of a newly-excsvated tank. The
elephant found out with its trunk that
q hole of some depth was just before it
and would not move. The mahout per-
sisted, and urged the recalcitrant ele-

and, after short conflict, the elephant
seized the mahout with its trunk,

ing annoyed by its driver, but there is

LUCKY GOLD HUNTERS.
Home OF Those Who Struck 1t Rich In the
Victor Fields Were Poor Men.

Home OF Those Who Struck 1t Rich In the
Victor Fields Were Poor Men.
During the period of first locations
among tho rich mines at Victor there
were incidents which form an interest
ing history concerning the character of
the men and the peculiar circumstances
under which they made their lucky
finds. All of them were poor, and nearly
all have quickly grown from poverty to
affluence, while many others now share
the benefits Of their fortune. 1t is we'll
known that the two leading discoverers
were poor carpenters-W. S. Stratton,
the millionaire owner of the Independ-
ence, and w. T. Shemwell, who found
the Elkton. OF all men known to pos
sess wealth Mr.. Stratton is one of the
least pretentious, though he realizes the
benefits and blessings of fortune and
says he will enjoy the uses of his money
to the end of making the balance of his
life pleasant Shemwell, owning 100. :
900 shares in the Ellton, is over in
Honolulu with his family, having a
good time on AN income of $1,000 per
month.
1t is we'll known that Burns and
Doyle were also poor young men who
found the rich Portland mine by the
usual chances Of the prospector and for
some time were unaware of their good
fortune. When they had reached depth
of Is feet in the process Of development
work, John Haman, another poor pros
pector, purchased third interest in the
claim for $500. After the purchase.
greatly to his joy and in one sense to
the discontinue Of the locators. an essay
from tho orc gave returns of $40, 600 in
gold to the ton. Immediately af.er that
the partners shipped 10 small sacks that
netted them $1,000 cash. Since that
time these men have grown wealthy,
and the group of mines belonging to the
Portland continues to grow in richness.
Many others in the district are now
going through the first stages Of such
experiences, and there are many more
mountains and hills that will some day
be SCARED and drilled and honeycombed
as Battle mountain appears to be today.
