A Touching Tribute to His Mother by q
Renowned French Omcer.
The rarely beautiful spirit of filial
love of the hero Of the Crimean war,
Gen. Bosquet, to whose memory q
statue has just been erected in Pau, ia
shown in the following letter, recent
ly printed, to his mother, written to in.
form her OF his promotion TO the rank
of marshal of France:
my DEAR MOTHER: There was yes
terday family fete at the Tuileries,
and you were not there. The emperor
sent me nm order at half-past five to
come and dine with him that same
evening. 1t was kind of Indication,
but, us usual, suspected nothing, and
thought the chamberlain had forgot
ten me, and wished to retrieve an
error. ! found Canrobert there, and
no one else, except the officers on
duty. The emperor arrived in tho
waiting-room In the most simple man.
ner possible, and took us out to dinner,
Canrobert being seated ut the right
and myself at the left of his majesty.
During the dinner the emperor talked
a great deal about acoustics, and va
rious phenomena relating to that
branch of physics. And then he said:
Gentlemen, fill your glasses with
champagne. want to propose toast
to-day to two good friends OF mine,
who dre near me--to Marshal Canrob-
ert and to Marshal Bosquet,' and be.
hold both of us, surprised, almost
speechless seeking the hand of his
majesty, which he gave us with the
most gracious simplicity.
".After leaving the table, the en-
peror went to the apartments of the
empress, and we went to the Office Of
the aides de camp of the day, where l
sent you couple Of words by tele-
graph. l should like to have followed
the electric fluid. 1 should like to
have taken you In my arms, dear
mother, and wished you q good sleep,
with the dreams sweetest to your
heart. Everyone here speaks to me
Of you; everyone salutes the mother of
a marshal Of France, and knows very
well that upon her falls all the merit
and all the glory. Thank God, who is
just and good, since He has permitted
the son to honor his mother, and to
render her an object Of congratulation
of all the mothers of France. Ahl my
mother, for one of those moments when
one can say nothing with your head on
my shoulder!"-N. Y. times.

KINGS OF THE PLAINS.
Desperate and Fatal Encounter Betwee
Two Untamed StalliOns.


Two Untamed Stallions.
Evening comes very gently on the
plains. The sun creeps downward in
the heavens and gilds all things with
wondrous magnificence, leaving in his
wake q wilderness of crimson and gold.
There he hides his head in slumber
behind the mighty canyons of the
Sierras.
We saw them coming from out the
shadows of the foothills, and at first
they were little more than two black
specks on the wide waste that lay be-
tween u.s. They were miles apart when
first seen, but they converged their
courses as they came nearer, each evil
IDENTIFY making for the same point.
"Them's two bands Of horses that
hev been turned out" said Godsey,
after he had regarded the advancing
hosts intently for awhile. They'll
meet bout hyar, an the stallionsll be
apt ter fight"
They came forward, quickly gallop-
ing through the evenings sunshine,
but always in as perfect order as a
squad of drilled cavaly. When they
approached nearer we could see the
stations of each band rounding up the
tagging mares and exhibiting many
signs of nervous apprehension, but not
until they had arrived within few
hundred yards of the place were we
had camped was any overt act of hos
tility committed.

hand troop, circling around playfully,
and the mare to whom he belonged
followed him, neighing fretfully. Like
flash of lightning the stallion of the
opposing band, beautiful bay with
white markings, dashed out from
his stronghold and endeavored to
round the mare and colt up with his
band. This was the challenge and
signal for battle, and 1t did not pass
unheeded, for a powerful chestnut
with flowing name and tail shot for
ward from the right and met the in
truder half way between the bands.
What spectacle it was as these two
monarchs of the plains in all the glory
of youth and strength met in deadly

eventide rung the changers on and in
tensifed the beauty Of their satin
hides. They advance rearing on their
launches and paving the air, while
their defiant neighing has been rem
dared shrill by intense anger. Now
they meet and strike out viciously. en-
deavoring to rend each others necls
and throats with their teeth. Now
they wheel and lash out savagely with
their hind legs, exhibiting throughout
cat-like agility and generalship that
is nothing short of miraculous
1t is desperate encounter, where
quarter is neither asked nor taken, and
it can only end with the death of one
of the combatants.
For fully an hour it wages with
varying success, but strength and stay
ing powers begin to tell in favor of the
chestnut stallion, and the bay is grad
ually forced to his knees. He still
fights gallantly, but the odds are
against him, and his antagonist show
ers blows upon him with his front hoofs
that cut his hide into shreds as with
knife, while the blood gushes from
hundred wounds. For few moments
he struggles on, and then, with a
great gasp, he rolls over on his side and
lies motionless, while the victor limps
slowly back to the band. In that mel
low twilight q king has been laid
low.-Chicago Times.

In Germany the Bismarck Jahr-
buch," just out, is the latest manifesta-
ton of the Bismarck worship. It is an
annual publication devoted exclusively
to the IroA Chancellor. The first part
consists of documents and letters, rang
ing from an English letter written
when he was twenty, to his answer to
the question Of the San Francisco Ex-
aminer, two or three years ago: what
benefit will be derived from interna-
tional exhibitions?" on which he wrote
In lead pencil. None" The second
part of the volume contains poems,
written on or to him, essays about and
by him, and record of all that has
happened to him during the last cal
endar year Such ANIMALS exist for the
study of Goethe and Dante and Shake
speare, but the Bismarck Jahrbuch''
is the first periodical IN Germany de-
voted entirely to mar IT'LL living.

Drilling stone Axes.

The statement has frequently been
made that it would be impossible to
drill holes in stone without the aid OF
iron tools. That such holes have been
drilled, however, has long been an &C.
cepted fact, rs implements from the
stone age amply prove. An article in
a foreign publication contains an illus
tration Of the apparatus for performing
this work Of drilling, which was done
by means of hollow cylinder Of bone,
hardened wood or horn. Wet sand, or
particles of flint ground very fine, were
kept constantly dropping upon the
point where the hole was being made.
The process was apparently not un.
like the cutting of marble by means Of
sand and wires or strips of metal. The
metal itself without the sand and wa.
ter would be OF little use. In this pre-.
historic drilling, the stone ak was
wedged firmly in place and the drill re-
volved by means Of q bowstring. Ac
cording to the discoveries of antigua
rians, by far the greater part of these
stone axes were broken or split in the
drilling. In some cases it was found
that the fragments were made use Of
as smaller axes, this fact indicating a
labor-saving inclination, - the work
of shaping was much greater than thai
old riIling out the holes.-N. Y. Ledger

CHAMPION HARD.LUcK STORY.

He Helped Out His Landlady, Who Was
Proof Against whistling.
It SO happened that an easy-going
young man who lodged In comfortable
quarters at SO much a week became
rather impecunious, a misfortune suf-
fered even by the most extravagant Of
us, and his cash assets amounted to
but three dollars. While sitting in his
room wondering whether he could live
on that sum for the balance of the
week, and coming to the conclusion
that he could, with economy, someone
raped on his door. 1t was the servant
girl, and she had with her lot
of perplexity. Would he kindly
pay two dollars and ninty cents on
a package left c. O. D. for the land
lady, who was out for the afternoon
OF course he would, he said, and the
three dollars was soon reduced to ten
cents. If he was in sore traits nobody
would be the wiser of it. In any event,
the landlady would pay the money
back to him that day and he could still
live.
But she didn't because she thought
he didunot need it, and it could be
deducted from his bill at any time. He
suffered in silence, with the exception
Of whistling to attract her attention to
his existence, in which he failed. He
lived from day to day on small sums
borrowed from his friends. On pay day
he was lined with wealth. Then the
thoughtless woman said: "Oh, by the
way, owe you two dollars, and here IL
is.' Such was the experience Of .
week.-Chicago Times.

ways has a good company behind him.
He has watched the growth of his line
of business in Montana from its in
fancy. When ne first knew Montana,
John Mcguire was the only man in
the state who knew a drop curtain
from a property list and Mr.. Thall has
some interesting "reminiscences of his
experiences in those days.
II remember how we used to bill
Missoula." said Sam last night to a
Standard man. John would always
tell me THAT / would find a good bill
poster here. but / never did and al
ways had to do my own posting. l re-
member one day l was preparing to
put some of my paper on the old stand
where the First National bank is and
had rugged up a staging out of some
trestles and plank that were being
used by some carpenters. climbed up
with my paper and then went down to
get the paste. / got down just in time
to see COW eating the last of 1t. We
had to work under difficulties in those
davs."
That reminds me-" said Mr.. Lamb,
"of a property goat that We had once.
We were playing an oregon town one
night and after the performance, the
goat was locked up in a barn for the
night. The next morning the owner of
the barn presented us with a bill for
damages. The goat. during the night,
had eaten all the hair off the tail of one
of his horses. OF course we had to
settle. We were careful after that of
how we lodgad the goat"
