AN ANTELOPE HORSE.
Trained for the Sport and Knew All tho
Fine Points.

~ had a horse" said an old army
man, that had belonged once to the
Seventh cavalry, but he had the L. c.
brand under his name, SO he was out
OF the service. Inspected and con-
demned. He was regular old plug,
but ne was all could get to go hunt.
ing on, so | took him. / rode away
out into the plains from the fort and l
saw bunch of antelope finally. | got
off the horse and dropped the reins on
the ground, expecting the horse to
stand there till came back. l started
off toward the antelope, and was
sneahing along to get shot, when l
looked round, and I'll be blamed if
that brute OF horse hadn't started off
as tight as he could lope.
Well, says l, 4 guess I'm in for
six-mile tramp home. | cursed that
horse to myself for awhile, and then l
went on. Pretty soon looked up, and
I'm blessed if there wasn't that horse
over on the other side of that bunch of
antelope. We'll, now, says l, i like
to know what that horse thinks he's
up to, anyhow Pretty soon he began
to circle around on the other side and
the antelope saw him and started off
toward me. l caught on at once, and
lay down and waited That old horse
cut up the most surprising antics out
there and all the time he kept working
those antelope toward me. BY and by
they got in range and l got two;
darned good luck it was, too. You see
that horse was an old Indian hunting
pony, and he had been trained to do
that way. Well, l went back to the
post and every body wanted to know
how it happened had such good luck
But didn't tell 'em. Not then.
"a few days after | took that same
horse out after prairie chickens. 1t
was the time of the year when the
chickens were flying, and l was riding
along, when all of sudden the critter
stopped short, braced himself up and
waited-for what l didn't know. But
in a second couple of chickens flew
up ahead Of me, and | was so surprised
| didn't shoot. Well ] says, m be
switched. Here's a horse that's not
only n hunting horse, but is regular
point Ar dog, too And he was. | got
my gun ready, and the next time he
stopped l was right on hand and
dropped q bird. Well, now, no sooner
did that horse see that bird fall than
he galloped off right to where it fell,
and all | had to do was to reach off
and pick it up. He was great horse,
tell you, and got lots of good hunt
ing with him. Denver Field and

Then you should have seen the knit

proud, naughty girl, as she turned
away to perform work of which no one
dreamed. A sentry was at each outer
door, slowly pacing up and down; but

Mary quickly exchanged adieux with
her lover, who, having been out on a
scout that morning, had seen and in
formed her where his bivouac would
probably be for the night, at the same
time giving her the countersign, in
case she or any of her friends should
wish to visit the camp. This knowl-
edge, it seems, she had turned to good
account.
In "a quarter of an hour from par ting
with the sentry, Mary was riding
swiftly back to her home, at the head
of more than twenty well-armed, gal

mile from the dwelling they left their
horses, and stole down in the darkness
upon their foes. They surrounded the
barn and suddenly demanded the sur

soldiers started up, grasped their arms.

were shot, and all their horses and

JAPAN.

Japanese officers are more like the
French than the German type. Their dis
cipline is kindly, and they live on familiar
terms with their men.
Japan is almost the only instance known
OF an aristocratic government deliberately
ov%erturning it's cherished institutions and
forming a modern limited monarchy.
Above the doorway of the Gankiro mu.
sic hall, in Yokohama, years ago, was
printed in English: For the amusement
of foreigners. No dogs or Cinnamon adj
mitted."
The japanese trace descent only from
the father. Thus when an aristocrat mar
ries a plebeian wife their children are his
equals and quite her superiors and are
apt to look down upon her.
Up to 1850 the japanese were poor sail
ors, and by law all Japanese junks were
built with low, open sterns SO that they
could not 60 far to sea. This was to pre-.
vent intercourse with other nations. The
Chinese have always been good seamen.-

Chicago is making such an ado over the
possession of a poet who has written a
prize cigarette advertisement that it is
evident that the Windy City not only con-
siders herself a literary ''center, F." but has
hopes of becoming a literary two-for-a-

WHEEL TRACKS.

A new cycle lamp is claimed as weigh

Contentment in cycling lies less in hay
ing wheels as you want them than in
wanting them as they are.
The difference between cycling woes
and equine whoas is that the former stops
a ride and the latter stops a horse.
A mans wheel and his toothbrush
should be treated very much alike. Both
should DO kept scrupulously clean, and
neither should ever be loaned.
Riders should always give warning not
only when passing vehicles, but when
about to pass other cyclers. We have seen

ing up behind another and attempting to
pass without warning.-Sporting Life.
