On tho prairie successful antelope hunt
ing is no child's play The game nearly
always secs you first ana otircs in good
o1.ter, but on the double quick, to some
high knoll long mile away, from which
safe distance you arc carefully surveyed by
the keenest Of eyes. As you try to steal
up within long rifo range the band sud
denly glides down the side Of the knoll,
seemingly without effort scurries across
the next fiat and presently halts on anoth-
er high point at the end Of another mile
The time was when antelope had SO
much curiosity and SO little sense they
could be brought up within gunshot by
waving a rag or ramrod or wriggling a
No 10 foot in the air, but that period has
gone by, at least in Montana. We tried
it repeatedly, but found the pronghorn
was Iiot half the fool he had been repre-
sented In tho broken bad lands, where
cOulees are deep and sharp ridges numer-
Gus, it is an easy matter to stalk antelope
and to shoot them also, provided you arc
good shot, don't get the buck ague and
can judge distances reasonably wel-St.

Professor Hoppe reports, in The Archiv
fur Post and Topographic, a new example
of the mechanical power of a lightning
discharge In a storm that ragged at Klaus
thai in the Harz mountains, bolt en-
tering n house, struck a wooden post on
whose top two metallic nails one-sixth Of
an inch in diameter were melted. no
forge could have effected this. To bring
it about, an electric current Of 200 am
peres intensity and 10000 volts tension
must have passed through the nails. Sup
posing that tho action Of the lightning
lasted a second, the dynamic power thus
developed was equal to 5000 horsepower,
but Il, as is much more probable, the dis
charge lasted only tenth Of a second, we
get "a ratio of work that does not fall short
of so, 0OO horsepower.

HE eNLvENs The COURTROOM.
The IssadIness Of Justice Wilson Of Gin.
clnnati In Repartee.


"a man is fool to give all his money
to his wife, - said Judge Moses +. Wilson
of the common pleas court Of Hamilton
county in giving an oral offhand decision
in divorce case a fortnight ago. Imme-
diately criticism was begun which has ex-
tended beyond Cincinnati and greatly to
the annoyance of Judge Wilson, who in
sists that he said Ito such wife, " the
testimony showing the defendant to have
been outrageously extravagant.
But the incident has served to attract
attention TO the judge who is certainly a
striking and most remarkable and inter
! esting character. There have been many
brilliant mon at the Cincinnati bar, but
Judge Wilson Is pre-eminent for repartee
and anecdote on the bench he is ire
pressible, and the dignity of his judicial
hOnors scarce restraints him while on the
bench. Attorneys look upon his witty in
terjectiOns as necessary incidents of the
conduct of a case before HMM fact, the
brightest things that come from him are
SO much the result Of tho development Of
the cases before him that they are cliInaxes
rather than solitary bits Of humor, and
consequently lose much Of their force if
separated from the story of the case.
An example, is his disposition of di-
vorce case at tho same term of court at
which the remark introducing this sketch
was made. The parties were young, had
been married less than year, and the tes
tlmony led the judge to conclude that it
was case of nothcr-in-law on both sides.
He interrupted one Of the counsel with: IL
will postpone further hearing Of this case
for ono month. The mothers in-law may
consider themselves on their own recog-
nizanoes to keep the peace. l believe the
young people will come together again"
Another wife was suing for divorce on
the ground Of drunkenness, and the hus-
band s counsel argued, "Why your honor,
I don't believe there is any man in this
room who has not drunk more than the
plaintiff has proved against her husband.
Except the court, except tho court, "
interrupted Judge Wilson.
A few weeks ago several lawyers gath
cred in Judge Wilson's room after adjourn
ment Of court and were discussing the re-
tirement Of "a member Of tho bar. Among
them was one whose practice was worth
S25 600 a year. He said; II have been
practicing several years and am well fixed
l have thought would like to retire and
devote my remaining years to studies l
have neglected.
"Study law, put in Judge Wilson.
When Thomas McDougall returned from
the general assembly which convicted DR..
Briggs, he carried small grip. Judge
Wilson met him ON the street and said
"Tom, know what you have in your
grip"
''What?" challenged McDougan.

An old farmer living in Bay City, Mich,
decided to take advantage Of the recent
cut in railroad rates and visit relatives in
Buffalo He accordingly purchased
round trip ticket to Boston, intending to
90 no farther than Buffalo. When he ar
rived ut the latter city he was informed
by a railway official that his ticket would
not be honored Tor return passage unless
stamped by the agent in Boston. He inn
mediately boarded the train he had just
left, and, after journey Of 500 miles,
reached the Hub. The depot was crowded
and the ticket agent was besieged by anx-
ious pilgrims, all claiming immediate at
tontion. Planting himself squarely in
front of the ticket window and keeping
hundred others waiting the old man in
sisted that his ticket be stamped instanter
and that he have the opportunity to re-
turn at once to his Buffalo relatives.
The gentlemnnly agent explained that
the excursion tickets were not good until
the next day, and that be would not get a
train until o o'clock the next morning.
The agent was congratulating himself that
no was understood, and that his rural GUS
toner would give way for others, when
the old man rested both elbows on the mar
row projection in front Of the window,
and, dropping his grizzled chin into his
hands, said "Then I've got to stay here

There are some Creek Indians living in
the Cherokee Nation that are married to
Cherokees, and some Cherokees married
to Creeks living in the Creek Nation. Tho
Creeks will not allow these Cherokees any
annuity because of their Cherokee blood,
and, not having any Creek blood in them,
the Cherokees will not give the Greeks
any annuity ON account of their Creek
blood, and in the wrangle for annuity tho
Cherokees living in the Creek Nation and
married to Creeks do net get any Creek
money. Neither viii the Cherokcos allow
them any Cherokee annuity because Of
their living in the Creek Nation, and vice

The California jury system, whereby IA
jurors arc drawn in order that there may

incapacity on the part of anybody in tho

First, Christ must be chief in our preach
ing. There are so many books on h0milot-
les scattered through the country that all
laymen, as well as all clergymen, have
made up their minds what sermons ought
to be. That sermon is the most eflectual
which most pointedly puts forth Christ as
the pardon of all sin and the correction Of
all evil-individual, social, political ma
tional There is no reason why we should
ring the endless changes on few phrases.
There are hose who think that If an ex-
hortation or a discourse have frequent
mention of justification, sanctification,
covenant of works and covenant of grace,
therefore it must be profoundly evangel-
ical, while they are suspicious of discourse
which presents the same truth, but under
different phrdseology. Now, l say there is
nothing in all the opulent realm of Anglo
Saxonism, of all the word treasures that
we inherited from the Latin and the Crock
and the Indo. European but we have a
right to marshal it in religious discussion.
Christ sets the example. His illustrations
were from the grass, the flowers, the barn
yard fowl, the crystals of salt, as well as
from the seas and the stars and we do not
propose in our Sunday school teaching and
in our pulpit address to be put on the

These harvests Of grace spring up quicker

with their fire and producing revolutions

Do we exercise faithf Christ is its object.
Do we have love? 1t fastens ON Jesus.
Have we fondness for the church, 1t Is
because Christ died for it. Have we a hope
of heaven? It is because Jesus went there,

were nothing They may be misused, but
they have an imperial power. They are the
bridge between soul and soul, between Al
mighty God and the human race. What

different words for poetic purposes; Ru-
fus Choato employed over IL 600 different
words for legal purposes, but the most OF
us have less than 1000 words that we can
manage, and that makes us so stupid.
When We come to set forth the love Of
Christ we are going TO take inc tcnueros1
phraseology wherever we find il, and if 1t
has never been used in that direction be-
fore all the more shall we use it. When we
come to speak of the glory of Christ the

And have to tell you that these standards
Of the cross may be lifted into combina-
lions infinite and varieties everlasting.
And lot me say TO these young men who
come from the theological Summaries into
our services, and are, after awhile, going
to preach Jesus Christ: You will have the
largest liberty and unlimited resource.
You only have to present Christ in your
own way
