In 1877, says the New York Tribune,
Capt. Ezra Fuller, Of the Seventh
United States cavalry. during the pur-
suit Of Chief Joseph, was sent out by
Gen. Miles from Fort Keogh to ascer-
tain and give warning rs to the route
which Chief Joseph was taking over
the mountains. Capt. Fuller rode his
own private horse, his guide had two
Indian ponies, and IN extra horse was
taken along to carry tho rations for
the party
They were gone twelve days, during
which they rode moro than six hundred
miles-nOt over the kings highway. but
through an unknown mountainous will
derness. During this twelve days Capt.
Fuller was unable to procure more than
three feeds Of grain for his horses. The
Indian ponies gave out on the third
day, and the guide then rode the extra
horse.
Capt Fuller once rode sixty-six miles
IN nine hours in search of deserters. O.
Adjt. Bell. also of the Seventh cav
airy, rode through the bad Lands, In
North Dakota. in 1882, one hundred and
Ave miles in twelve hours
Many instances Of long rides Of United
States cavalry officers might be men
toned In which the endurance Of both
men and hores was tested, and compar-
isons would show that American men
and horses are second to none in tests
of this character.

A REAL SNAKE STORY.

A citizen Of fredericksburg, Va,
claims that while travelling to Tappa-
hammock he saw a large blacllsnake
slowly crawling among the branches Of
q tree that stood by the roadside
Following the snake with his eye the
observer saw an unusually large
hornets nest attached to one Of the
branches of the tree. and toward which
the snake was advancing.
When close to the nest the snake
coiled itself about a limb. releasing Its
tail, and with it gave several hard RPS

knocking for admission. The noise Of
the blows and the swaying Of the nest
caused the hornets to leave their home
and prepare for an attack upon the In
trudcr. The snake ceased tapping
with its tail as soon a. the hornets left
the nest. uncoiled itself and quickly
disappeared, taking the place of the
hornets within their nest.
to peer out, and Its bright black eyes
glistcned as he anticipated feast from
which the bravest man would shrink
with fear. The snake drew his head
within the entrance hole to the nes. un-
til nothing was seen Of it except an oc-
casional forked tongue that darted In
and out with lightning rapidity. Think
Jag the coast clear the hornets began
to return to their nest. when the snake
took them in as fast rs they could enter.
Watching the proceedings for Some
time our informant concluded that all
the hornets had been safely hived. and
he stood up in his buggy, tapped the
nest with his whip. and awaited the re-
suit.
No hornets appearing. the nest was
then knocked to the ground, opened.
and his snakeship found In . tsrpid
condition, with his size greatly in
