BIDDY'S ADVENTURE.

that Henry Howard Burke could be
more kinds of fool than any other
man IN Carson County. Robert, be-
ing the only man on that range who
answered to no nickname nor sub
title, is IN authority feel bound to
respect.
When young Mr.. Burke, fresh from
an Eastern school, came westward to
grow up with the country, tho live
stock Interest was jnst then paramount,
and all the boys expected to become
cattle kings. SO, some weeks after
closing his school-books, Henry found
himself taken on trial as horse -wrang-
Ter on ,ttle-rnnch, where his assoc
ciatcs promptly dubbcd him ellen. "
He did not like it,and said SO. Whcr, =
upon Robert informed him that if
Hen didn't please him, he should hc
called Hen no more. "YoUr uamc is

The chief work OF the horse wrang-
Ter is to Craze the s"ddlchorses at
night and bring them into camp at
dawn, where each man selects his
mount for the day. One early even
ing thunder shower caused the bunch
to drift away from camp, and as the
clouds began to break, and here and
there star showed through, Biddy
realized he had lost his bearings.
Robert said afterward at any other
man woIld have held the bunch right
there until morning and turned them
into camp half au hour late. But
Biddy had another way. Catching

REBuKED FOR HIS LETTER.
ConsuI-Generai Crittenden Warned
by the state Department..

KANSAS. CITY. MO-. october Tex
Governor T. 4. Crittenden. consul-Gene-
raj to Mexico, who is in Kansas City on
a vacation, has received note from
secretary-of-State Olney, in which the
ConsuI-General Is criticised for publish
ing in the New York Journal information
which. Il is claimed, should have nrst
aDpearcd i'm the consular reports. Tne
note may lead 20 call for Governor
Crittenden's resignation. for Mr.. Critten-
den himself takes no pains 10 prevent
widening of the breach between himsell
and those higher in authority.
The New Journal OF september lftn
published a long. signed letter from Mr..
Crittenden. I'm which he told at length the
Information he. had gathered regarding
the Industrial and commercial conditions
Of the Mexicsns. The facts told IN the
letter had also been used IN the consular
report. but the report has not yet been
published.
After Ex-Governor Crittenden came TO
Kansas City a letter from the Secretary
of state. teproving him for bis course
was forwarded from Mexico. The letter,
as Is customary, Is polite official no
tice. which a careful diplomat readily
understands 10 be a broad hint that his
action has been o violation or dlplo-
matte usage which. II repeated, Will. IN
the ordinary course OF affairs, be iol-
lowed by q call FOR his resignation.
Ex-Governor Crittonden evidently ln-
tends TO force Just such state OF auairs
for he talks freely about the matter,
and assumes a rather defiant attitude.

NORFOLK RACES.

belonging TO John Reamer, OF Pennsyl-
Vania, third. The fastest time made in
this race was in the second heat, which
was won by Mamie r. in 2:20 IL.
More interest, perhaps, centered in the
second heat than In any other on the
card. This was a trot In the 21S class,
the nurse being 500. There were five
starters. and horses from Maryland and
PENNSYLVANIA got the plums ollie b.
and Monocacy were the leaders. the for

PENNSYLVANIA, and Monocacy is a bay
stallion owned by Mr.. c. NJ. DeGarmen-
dia. of the Tuscarora Stock-Farm, Daubs,

these two animals. and the spectators
enjoyed it immensely. The best time made
was 2:19 Ii.
The last event on the card was run
ming race, three-quarter-mile heats, for
