our party saw no less than fourteen OF these
s~kulking serenaders in a. single afternoon,
and the rancher, at whose place we stopped
over night, told us that he had never known
them to be so plentiful.
The vitality Of the coyote has long been a
matter Of remark, says a Wyoming paper.
He has as many lives as a cat. Otto Franc,
the cattleman, tells of a coyote having been
so roughly handled that he was presumed
to be dead, whereupon his scalp was taken
and his tail cut off. Some days after the ami
NAL was seen and appeared to be as much
alive as ever. Old man Clone has often told
us Of his coyote experience, which we have
heretofore taken with a grain of salt. Mr.,
Clone got hold of one OF those Prince AliX
stag hounds which were in the country after
the visit Of the Russians, and one day while
in a canon the dog tackled a coyote. Mr..
Clone took the bride from his horse, and,
wading through the deep snow, gave the beast
a blow which knocked 1t over. Then he took
the hide from the animal, and will take an
oath that the coyote came to and rose to its
feet.

ever, the half back is a poor man II he al
lows the slightest opportunity to pass Of 60
Ing through the line TO make a tackle. The
team that does not follow this course can be
gained against continuously. This Is so from
the fact that In a majority Of cases the run
ner is permitted to get started and right up

The idea OF a half back going through is to
check the. runner before he reaches the line.

The last time a big game was played at
Princeton was In the fall Of 1856 when the
Yale team, captained by Corwin, went there, 4"
says Robert Patrick. Though Yale scored
and Princeton did not no championship was
awarded because the second half could not
be finished owing to the people crowding
upon the field. The day was f~earfully rainy
aud cold. The Yale team stayed at Trenton
the previous night and advanced upon Prince
ton about noon for their luncheon, which was
not fit to eat. The dinner the New Haven
men had to eat after the game was little bet
ter. After the game the crush about the
railroad station was so bad that a Princeton
graduate had his leg broken. George Walk
inson, Yales star halfback, died from eX-
posture. He was the only player in the
eleven to ride to the hotel after the game.

Notwithstanding that Jake Gaudaur, the st.
Louis oarsman, is still the single scull cham
pion Of the world, the English crews carried
off about all the coin and all the laurels at
the recent Austin, Tex, regatta. Jake easily
distancei the foreign single footers in the
mile and a half row, but in the four-oared
event Bubear, Barry, Haines and Wingats
for Albion ran away from Teemer, Rogers
and the Gaudaur brothers for Uncle Sam.
Again in the double scull race a pair Of Johnny
Bull BIS, Bubelr and Barry, gave the hot
foot to Teemer and Rogers, the Americans.
Teemer gave out, and the English won the
race by four good boat lengths, making the
three miles in 17:40, the worlds record for
double SOULS. Ned Hanlon, once the king
and the hero of the aquatic world. was an
entry in all the singles, but such is the irony
Of fate, he never rowed one, two, three.

An air line train while going nearly fifty

The eastern critics all have a good word
for the Chicago Athletic club team. They
think the eleven the strongest that has ever
come out from Chicago. Says one critic.
These Chicago men make a team of as
good players as can generally be brought
together outside a college. With the amount
of time for practice at their disposal they
could be made to equal any college team in
the country. Being all engaged in business,
it is absolutely impossible for them to per
feet their team work"

The big bicycle fakirs and ~jugglers are
still at their merry work. At Louisville on
Thursday last Otto Zeigler snatched Johnny
Johnson's only remaining record away from
him, the paced standing mile. Otto spun
off the 1,760 yards in 1850 2-5, and the great
crowd went frantic. But Yonny was there,
and he swore by Tom Eek snow-white
whiskers that he would slice off a chunk Of
this on the morrow. The morrow came, and
Yonny kept his word. On the first trial he
only equaled OttO's wonderful time. But
after eating a lot Of sausage and pie he
made another trial, and this time the well
drilled timers announced that he had done it,
that is, he had gone the mile in one little
fifth Of a second better than Otto. Now, Mr..

It is said that the foot ball critic who pre-
dicted Princeton would win from Harvard is
yet to be heard from. Everything pointed
to a Harvard victory, but the Cambridge
eleven failed to play the ball expected of
them. Princeton played in improved form
and thus they found little trouble in dis
posing Of Johnnie's men.

The question of the superiority Of English
guns over American has long been discussed,
and while in theory the home manufacture
are just as good as the imported ones, in
practice this is proved to be just the con-
trary. All gun barrels are imported, and
while a very high grade American gun is Just
as good in appearance as the English weapon,
the difference lies in the mechanism and wear
ing qualities. To attempt a comparative de-
s~cription of the relative merits Of domestic
and foreign guns would be futile, as books
could be written on the subject. There are a
few points, however, which might aid
a sportsman intending to purchase a gun and
who is undecided as to what make to select.
The prices for foreign guns do not include
the import duty. There are many European
guns which sell at low figures, such as from
$40 to $50, and American guns of this figure
are far superior. Then, again, taking for
eign guns of from $50 to $l25, the guns are
about equal, but on going above this figure
the American product loses comparison.
Beginning at a point of $3.50, for instance,
which would include genuine Whitworth bar
rels, e%jector, well natural seasoned wood,
accurately adjusted lock parts and tested bar
rels, etc, an American equal has, l think,
never been built for even half again as much
money. Nearly all American makers show a
$500 gun in their catalogues, but this price
comes in the engraving and exterior finish
not in the locks.
1t is, of course, impossible TO get an eX-
Cellent gun anywhere at the price of a COM
mon one; this rule also applying to groceries,
violins, rubber shoes and other commodities.
In the purchase Of a gun must be considered:
Durable lock mechanism, adjustment Of parts
Csuch as cooking devices, trigger clutch,
e%jector, etc), boring, soldering, safety device,
alignment (Which includes precision Of CEN
ter bore), seasoning and fitting Of wood,
lines, heft, balance cast off, etc. The fancy
wood and engraving cut no figure, though a
neat appearance is always desirable. A
logged barrel is always better than any other
model, and the Independent top lever far in
advance of others. What the United States
most needs is a communicating institu-
tion for firearms, Every reputable gun
maker is anxious to see one established, as 1t
would protect them against inferior makes,
and would also enable them to tell the exact
worth Of their own products"

memories of the doughty Nonpareil.

all frst-class boxers of the age. Dempsey
fought more than a half hundred battles, and
was always the public's %favorite, but he has
never been the same man since George La
Bla ache laid him low for the first time out
in Frisco on that sultry August evening
back in 1889. That blow not only gave
Dempsey his first defeat, but also broke his
heart. On January IA. 1891, he met the
Australian freak, Fitzsimmons, at New Or
leans, and after thirteen rounds Of as game
fighting as ring goer ever saw he was
Knocked out. The Kangaroo outclassed him
in every way. and the Nonpareil was but
a plaything in his big specified hands. From
that night Dempsey has been on the decline.
To be sure, he fought Tommy Ryan at Coney
Island ten months ago, but he was but a
shadow Of his former self, and Tommy was
ashamed to deal the knockout blow, and the
referee stopped the battle and gave It to
Ryan.

THE PORCH OF LIFE.

Within the Porch of life we sit,
Inc access to the heavenly door,
The shadowy porch where cold rains pour,
And every bleak wind blows on it.
And those who crowd to stand thereon
Smiling with youth grow grave anon.
We sit among our fellows so.
:Shivering little in the wind
And still our eyes reach out to find
The faint beam of inward glow
A home-lil1e ray, which through the door
Steals, softly beckoning, evermore.
There in sure comfort safe and warm,
They sit who have an entrance won,
Smiling and glad: each dearest one
Who once endured the bitter storm.
And shared our patience and our pain.
But come not forth to share again.
Dear door, which never is shut tight,
And knows. no bolt and needs no bar,
But through all ages stands ajar
TO bless the eyes which yearn for sight,
And keep the souls that wait without
From the slow deSolate death of Doubt
The Porch of Life is hard and bare,
And long the waiting sometimes seems.
But while we catch the out-reaching beams
Making the darkness subtly fair,
And know the door is open still,
We can endure it with good will.

Old Curran, the sutler-for sutler he

still before his occupation was wiped

all winter, and was growing about it.
He looked to the payment following
the April muster to recoup him for his
losses, as many good soldier was deep
in his books. The payment should have
been made in May, but for some rea-
son it was postponed. possibly in order
that the paymaster might make the
