 as though life held no other object. Experience of years had taught me
 that the sure outcome of so kicking ! without the usual working up pro
 cess meant a lame thigh-in short,
 an induced inability to kick the ball 2 a foot on the morrow. My friend, 5 however, to decide discussion as 2 to the merits of different hniments 5 and the like for strains, had induced ! me to become the trial horse. Alter 5 kicking hard for half hour, under 5 went deal of rubbing with SALIVA S cEA. He contended that through 5 it's powers to alleviate stiffness and } soreness, my ability to kick would 5 be unimpaired. I did not believe ] him-yet To and behold, the pungent 5 salve staved off every sign of lame $ ness and the next day l kicked with 2 out the slightest discomfort.

Took Him at Hi. Word.

It Is stated that some time ago the collector of customs at Fl Paso sug- gcStcd to the civil service commission at Washington that line riders and inspectors should have knowledge of cattle. and that all applicants for posi- tion in that department should pass an examination iu the details of he cattle business.
 Taking him at his word Theodore Roosevelt, of the civil service com mission lwho owns q big ranch in Mon tana, and is himself an expert has prepared and forwarded series Of questions for examination of line riders: and thereafter all ambitious democrats in want of a job of that kind with the accompanying emoluments, must pass d practical examination in lassoing, roping, tying and branding steers. castrating calves and spaying heifers, rounding up, cutting out, driv- ing and loading cattle.
 They are also to be examined for proficiency in imbibing tanglefoot, ''bucking" monte, playing poker and shooting up the town, with all the rest of the little incidents to frontier life which make the cowboy so unique and picturesque q personality.
 IL is reported that Charlie Meadows will open a school of practical instruc- tion at Phoenix in which all ambi- tious aspirants for political prefer ment along the border will at once matriculate themselves.

-------1-'--- TT --- -- The Mexican Boundary.

Since July, 1892, the international boundary commission, with staff of 80 engineers, soldiers and laborers, has bten engaged in resuryeying the boundary line between the United States and Mexico from Fl Paso, Tex, to San Diego, Cal. The work is prac- tically finished, and corps of draftsmen are now busy at the government build- ing in San Diego completing the final and summary maps, protiles and de- tails of the laborers of the commission. The survey has covered more than TOO miles.
 The commission has rebuilt the 52 early boundary monuments and set up 296 more at an expense of about ESQ., 900. The new monuments consist of an iron shaft, bearing the letters "U. S." on the north side and the word 'Mexicana" on the south side
 A few weeks ago another commis- sion, known as the international boundary water commission, started upon the work of resuryeying the boundary line between Mexico and the United States along the Rio Grandc from El Paso east to the gulf of Mex ico. It will probably not finish it's labors for three years. It will set un a chain of monuments similar to those erected from Fl Paso westward New York Sun.

Baltimore Wins the Pennant Again.

The pennant in the national league has
been won by Baltimore, last years cham
pion. Baltimore has played good ball
throughout the season, but hardly better
than Cleveland, who finishes in second
position. Pittsburg took the lead at the
start, and maintained it for over two
months, with the exception of a single day,
when Cincinnati was at the front. Boston
forged ahead early in June and stayed
there for over month. Baltimore took
the coveted position for a short time, but
gave way July 21 to Cleveland and the
western club was not headed until Aug.
%, when Baltimore once more became
leader and was not again displaced. Phila-
delphia is third and the other clubs in this
order; Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn, Pitts
burg, New York, Cincinnati, Washington,
st. Louis, Louisville. "A feature of the
season has been the poor showing of the
New York club, that club having dissen-
sions in its ranks nearly all the time. Bal
timore and Cleveland will now play for the
Temple cup, which was won last year by
New York, who then finished second in
the championship race.
