AN INDIAN BOYS PONY.
An Account Of His First Attempt to Rid'
It at q Bunalo Hunt.

An Account Of His First Attempt to Ride
It at . Bunalo Hunt.
Thus led by those dedicated to re-
ligious service, the tribe leaves its vi
lage, the people by families dropping
into line-men, well mounted, bearing
their weapons ready for use; women, In
gala dress, riding their decorated ponies
older ones leading the pack horses; Ut
tie children in twos and threes upon the
backs Of steady old nags, or snugly
slowed away in the swinging pouch be-
tween the tent poles, and the dogs trot-
ting complacently everywhere.
Here and there along the line OF the
cavalcade is lad being initiated into
individual responsibility. He has been
upon the hunt before, as one Of the fam
ily, but this is the first step toward 60
ing independently uncared for as child.
The father has lassoed wild horse, sad
died and bridled him and now bids his
son mount the animal The boy hangs
back, the colt is a fiery creature and al
ready restive under restraint. The IA
ther tells his son that the horse shall be
his own when he has conquered it, but
the lad does not move. The lockers on
are smiling, and the cavalcade does not
wait. "Get up" says the father.
The boy slowly advances. and the colt
quickly recedes, but the boy, grasping
his name, swings himself into the sad
die. The father lets go, and 80 does the
colt-rears, jumps, wriggles, humps his
back like an infuriated cat, stands on
his fore legs and kicks at his own tail,
paws the air and stamps the earth, but
the boy clings to him until, with sud
den jerk, the saddle girth is broken, and
he is landed over the head Of the excited
creature, which runs for dear life and
liberty. Brought back, protesting by
twists and shakes Of his head, he Is
again mounted and again frees himself.
After two or three repetitions OF this
sort of thing the boy becomes angry,
and the mother grows anxious. She runs
to her son as he is scrambling up from
the ground, feels him all over and
moves his legs and arms to see if he Is
hurt. BE is impatient at the delay. BE
is going to master that pony now or die
for it. This time he stays on. In vain
the animal lashes himself into foam and
fury. The boy sticks to him like the
shirt Of Nessus, and the father at last
leads the indivisable pair between the
tent poles which trail behind a sophis-
ticated family horse, and there, fenced
in, they Journey all day, trying to get
used to each other. The pony does not
see his way out of the poles and is fore
ed to keep up with the procession.-

SENATE AND HOUSE.
Conference Committee on the Cuban Reso-

Iutions Appointed.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-In the senate
Wednesday Sherman reported back tho
Cuban resolutions and moved that the
house amendment to the senate resolu-
tions be non-concurred in and that con-
ference committee be appointed. The
motion was agreed to and the vice presi'
dent appointed Senators sherman, Nor
gan, and Lodge conference committee.
Frye, from the committee on foreign reia-
tions reported substitute for the no use
bill providing for the determination OF
the Alaskan fur seals, which was made
special order for next Thursday.
The attendance In the house Wednes'
day was small. Bills were passed as fol-
lows: To authorize the county OF Ravajo,
Arizona, to issue bonds for the construc'
tion of county buildings; to authorize the
construction Of bridge across the Mis-
souri, river at Chamberlain, ;. ID. joint

tfon IKE Spain would not tolerate raids
upon tho hospitals of an enemy. But these
facts arc given in official reports. and tho
only doubt OF thom that arises is as to the
details, which are covered up In the interest
OF "the prestige Of the Spanish army" 1t
Is agreed by all the military authorities Of
Washington that there can be no defense
OF this business Of raiding hospitals Ad-
init, for the sake of excusing Weyler as
much as possible, that the insurgents are
not regular troops; admit even that they
are banditti, such AS Weyler attempts to
make them appear-not even this justifles
raids upon defenseless hospitals and the
shooting of wounded or sick men and their
nurses.
Great indignation was caused In Wash
ington by General Weyler's recent proola-
nation that insurgents I'm Havana and
Pinar del Rio provinces who did not lay
down their arms within 10 days would bo
regarded as bandits. This is another in
dication of the terrible character of the
rule ~ blf ant N which the now cap
tain gai has instituted. Wcylcr's
proclamation limited the effect of the or
der to small bands of insurgents" but
military authorities agrco that the sizo OF
the band has nothing TO do with the case.
Tho point Is whether or not they arc rogu-
lar members Of an organized army. III SO,
their officers have tho right TO deploy them
as they please, to forage oven 10 destroy
property, within tho articles of war. To
pronounce such soldiers bandltti, which
means execution or deportation To Africa
ID they are caught, Is disgrace to Spain,

Animals In the Rain.

Horses and catt le never look so miser-
able as when standing exposed to cold
and driving rain. Every field in which
cattle are turned loose should have some
rude shelter provided, however rough
and hardy the stock. If left TO them
selves in state Of nature, they would
travel miles TO some well known bank
OF thicket, which wonld at least give
cover against the wind. Shut up be-
tween four hedges, they are denied alike
the aid of human forethought and OF
their own instincts
Bewick's vignettes of old horses or un-
happy donkeys, huddled together i'll driv-
ing showers on some bleak common, ex-
press vast amount of animal misery
in an inch of woodcut, 1t tseems strange
that no animal, unless it be the squirrel,
seems to build itself a shelter with the
express object of keeping of the rain'
which they all SO much dislike.
Monkeys are miserable in wet and
could easily build shelters If they had
the sense to do so. "As the creatures
hop disconsolately along in the rain, .
writes Mr.. Kipling in his "Beast and
Man In India, or crouch on branches,
with dripping backs set against the tree
trunk as shelter from driving storm
they have the air of being very sorry fol
themselves.
But even the orang outang, whlcn
builds small platform in the trees on
which to sleep at night, never seems &c
think of roof, though the Dyaks say
that when there is much rain 1T covers
itself with the leaves of the pandanus'
large fern. Exchange

Tattoo Taptoe.

Taptoe is not the only way in which
tattoo was formerly spelled. Tatto ana
taptoo are also to be found In old BOOKS.
Watson's Military Dictionary, NTH edi'
tion. 1868, gives the following:
ITO beat the tatto, to order all 10 rs
pair to their quarters; tatto, sometimes
called the retreat; the beat OF drum nv
night for all soldiers IN garrison to retire
10 their quarters and 10 their tents In the
field" ,n,.
Tn the 1883 edition Of Grose's Military
Antiquities" the following is to be found;
"Taptoo, the signal for soldiers To retire
IN their quarters or barracks and TO tue
suffers TO draw no more liquor, iron'
whence II derives 1t; name; tho taptoo Is
seldom beat In camp" =,
In Johnson's Dictionary tapotcl tous,
meaning u general beat OF drums, was
given as the derivation of tattoo, but thae
was surely one of the whimsical gueSses
at etymology suggested by previous wri.,
ers.'i Watson says that tho beat caiieo
"tbe general" was to give notice 10 the
forces that they are to march, ana 'na'
"batterie do tambour" was the corro,
spending term In French. Notes ana

the contrary 1t tended to advance the
prices OF their staple and to keep the mar
ket steady. II the bill were enacted into

Arm Torn from the Socket.

DETROIT, March "a swiftly moving
belt in the Michigan Car works Tuesday
caught Joseph Fleischmann's hand while
he was ut work and drew him toward the
pulleys. He wound one foot and his 9TH
er arm around brace and held on while
he shriekcd for help. Before assistance
could reach him his arm had been torn
from the socket at the shoulder. He was
taken to Grace hospital and the doctors
say that Notwithstanding the shock and
loss of blood, he will probably recover.
