him squarely between the eyes. The
bullet fell to the floor, fattened out,
and the negro was only hurt to the ex-

ARlzoNA.s ROAD RUNNER.
Bird with Tireless Logs and Deadly
Hatred OF Ratticsnakes.

Bird with Tireless Logs and Deadly
Hatred OF Ratticsnskes.
"There's bird down In my coun-
try" said Maj. Ransom, Of Arizona, to
a Denver reporter, (which VIC call the
road runner. 1t is an interesting
fellow, this bird, with long legs that
never give out and which devour dis
tance with an appetite that never
seems appcased. Generally two road
runners go together-for company's
sake, no doubt. They seem to be
great gossipers and do vast sight OF
talking to each other. They will chase
ahead of your horse AS you ride along
the trail, and keep up the stride for
miles and miles and hours and hours
with steady side-to-side motion much
like the gait of a packing horse. Why
they run along ahead of one in this in
sane fashion can only be guessed ut.
1t would seem to be for fun and exer-
else
"Thcy are gifted with great deal OF
sagacious malevolence toward the
rattlesnakes, with which crawling
brood the runner has deadly fcud. /
suppose the rattlesnalSe pounces upon
the road runners eggs and makes
omclets of them; or gobbles up their
young on spring chicken theory.
Whatever the cause of hate, however.
the road runner is the deadly enemy OF
the rattlesnakc. They wreak VEN
geance on it in this way: They espy
a rattlesnake asleep in the sun.
Mum is thc) countersign with your
road runner; he never says n word. He
and his fellow road runnJr go about in
discreet silence and collect the dried,
dead joints Of the fiat cactus, which
abounds In the southwestern deserts.
They build corral about the DOING
serpent with them.
These pieces of cactus bristle with
thorns rs sharp and keen as needles.
When they have their snake corralcd
the two road runners arouse it with
yells and the tapping of their little
jimcrow wings. They revile it and
scold it and appear toapply all kinds OF
hard epithets to it. The snake gets
frightened and its rattlcs buzz. But
they don't come near it. They stand Mt
"a safe distance and rail Mt it. At last
the snake tries to crawl away, but can't
cross the cactus fence which the road
runners have built. The spines prick
the snake and 1t draws back. Mean
while the road runners keep up their
derisivc racket. With each prick of the
cactus the rattlesna|le's wrath in
creases. At last, in desperate, brain
less fury it begins to bite itself. Its
poison is as deadly to itself as to every
body else, and in short time it dies.
Great, then, is the mad triumph Of tho
road runners, which tannt it until its
last gasp and exult over the corpse like
savages. After the snake is surely dead
they walk off with airs of cockney sat
isfaction, and, as 1t were, arm in arm"

How n French Bank Is Guarded.

The treasures of the Bank of France
are said to be better guarded than those
Of any other bank in the world. At the
close of business hours every day,
when the money is put into the vaults
in the cellar, masons at once wall up
the doors with hydraulic mortar.
Water is then turned on and kept run
ming until the cellar Is flooded. A
burglar would have to work in div
ing suit, and break down q cement
wall before he could even start to loot
the vaults. When the officers arrive
the next morning, the water Is drawn
off, the masonry is torn down, and the
vaults opened.

The Born Angler.

He was by nature and heredity one
of those predestined anglers whom
Izaak Walton tersely described as
fishing. His favorite passage in Holy
Writ was that place where Simon
Peter throws line into the sea and
pulls out great fish at the first cast
But hitherto his passion had been in
dulged under dificulties-with impro-
vised apparatus of cut poles, and fab
by pieces of string, and bent pins,
which always failed to hold the biggest
fish; or perhaps, with borrowed tackle,
dangling IL fat worm in vain before the
noses of the staring, supercilious sun
fish that poised themselves in the clear
water around certain hotel dock at
Lake George; or, at best, on picnic
parties across the lake, married by the
humiliating presence of nurses, and
disturbed by the Obstinate refusal OF
old Horace, the boatman, to believe
that the boy could bait his own hook,
but sometimes crowned with the de-
light of bringing home a whole basket
full of yellow perch and goggle-eyes.
OF nobler sport with game fish, like
the vaulting salmon and the merry,
pugnacious trout, as yet the boy had
only dreamed But he had heard that
there were such fish in the streams
that flowed down from the mountains
around Lake George, and he was at
the happy age when he could believe
anything-if it was sufficiently inter-
esting. Henry van Dyke, in Century.

he was living in log cabin, from
which, on snowshoes, he went along to

A PECULIAR case was recently disposed Of
by a Chicago jury. A man in that metropo-
lis of the west rented house for year, but
moved out in three or four months, because
the bed bugs made life unbearable, where
upon the landlord sued for the balance Of the
years rent, When the case came up for trial
counsel for the landlord presented his case
and it looked rather blue for the tenant until
his lawyer presented his side Of the case,
which he did so efIectually in a speech of
half an hours duration, in which he dealt
with the question Of bed bugs so thoroughly
that the jury decided in his favor. 1t is
now settled that Chicago landlord cannot
recover in such case unless it is specially
provided in the lease that the landlord is not
responsible for bed bugs.
