IAGuARINA

in a foot combat before the Olympic
Athletic club and was determined to de-
feat her in this contest.
1t took place in Mechanics Pavilion,
San Francisco, shortly after the Davis
match. At the conclusion Of the TWEEN
ty-frst attack, to which the contest was
limited, the score stood to 8. 1t was
then suggested to decide the contest by
the result of one attack on foot. Jagua-
rina won this attack in twenty seconds
after they crossed blades. Suisse
uuent;y she again defeated Capt. Jen-
nings, who was determined to win in
a contest against her if he could, and
then added to her record the defeat Of
Capt. Conrad Wiedermann, instructor
alarms to the various turn verein clubs
of San Francisco and other California
cities, at San Diego, and the eX-Aus-
trian cavalryman, Col. Baron Arno Won
Freilitzsch, at Los Angeles.
Capt. Wiedermann gave her the hard
est battle she ever fought outside of
Sergt. Davis. During the contest his
sword crushed in the face Of her mask
and gave her cut across the bridge of
the nose, the scar from which still
shows slightly. Capt. Wiedermann
was remarkable athlete and
weighed 1875 pounds. His chest was
forty-three inches and the biceps of his
sword arm fifteen inches. After the
contest he stated that Jaguarina was
the quickest and most powerful fencer
he had ever met. His skill was I'M
doubtedly very great, for he was a pet
pupil of the famous Russian Imperial
Guardsman, Col. Ivan Wicowsky.
Jaguarina's last contest for a purse
took place in 1889. Since then she has
repeatedly declared herself open for a
match. In July last in an open letter
she claimed the mounted broad-sword
championship Of America and the wom-
ans sword championship of the world,
and declared herself open to defend
these claims against any man in the
world in contest for purse of from
81 900 to $4,000 side.
Several California business men who
know her great strength, endurance and
skill, and her marvellous ability as a
horsewoman, have offered to back her
in any amount if she will go to Greece
and fence in the Olympian games for
the championship of the world. She is
very seriously considering this propo-
sition and will undoubtedly go to

clouds, and Tom was almost within a
stones throw of the objects Of his
search before either party was aware
Of 1t.
The ladies seemed frightened at his
sudden appearance and started rapidly
up the street just as Tom drew the
glove from his pocket and cleared his
throat preparatory to speaking. THE
deuce; she shan't escape me this way!
he muttered, angrily "Pve got to
meet her now or those fellows will never
stop guying me-"
He walked rapidly and had almost
caught up with them, when they turned
the corner and ran up the steps Of a
large, dismal-looking house. While
Tom hesitated the duenna, who was
heavily yelled, although it was night,
unlocked the door, opened 1t little and
stepped In. The younger lady, evil

speak, fingered moment and the wind,
as If to help his cause, blew the door to-.
The golden-haired girl and Tom the
conqueror were alone on the outslde;
truly a charming situation, SO Tom
thought, The girls dress had blown in
and caught in the door, which she be-
gan to make frantic efforts to open.
The opportunity was not to be lost, so,
with a murmurcd ALLOW me-" Tom
sprung up the steps to assist her. But
the wind was not yet through with its
tricks, and as Tom reached her side it
became wildly frolicksome and in the
twinkling Of an eye had snatched not
the jaunty hat only, but the golden curls
as well from the head Of the lair
stranger
Tom, looking up, beheld sight that
froze the marrow in his bones, for the
tickle moon, rushing from behind the
clouds, blazed down upon the scene and
revealed, spite Of efforts to cover face
and head, Toms own familiar friend
Harry!
AS the victim Of this heartless plot
stood speeches. with establishment and
wrath Dicks voice was heard inside:
"Confound 1t, Harry, can't open this
door Has he cleared out YETI"
Then Tom cleared" and, blind with
rage, ran reclllessly down the street,
tearing the little gray glove into frag-
ments as he ran. 1t breathed out an
appealing fragrance that only added to
his irritation and disgust.
This little affair, which afforded the
two conspirators much entertainment
and their victim much modification and
anger, came near breaking up their
long-standng friendship. But after a
few weeks GOODNESS Tom finally for
gave them and entertained the two at
handsome supper as per wager.
But this time he made no boasts Of
his proves in the field Of hearts and
no mention was made of the great con-
quest he thought he had made.

Golden silence.

The most dramatic of silent men was
Wallenstein, the antagonist of Gustavus
Adolphus and the commander Of the
emperor's armies in the thirty years
war He insisted that the deepest ST.
lence should reign about him, His Off
GERS took care that no loud CONVERSE
ton should disturb their general. They
knew that a chamberlain had been
hanged for waking him without orders
and that an officer who would wear
clinking spurs in the commanders
presence had been secretly put to death.
In the rooms of his palace the SER
wants glided as If they were phantoms
and dozen sentinels moved about his
tent charged to secure the silence the
general demanded, Chains were
stretched across the streets in order to
guard him against the disturbance OF
sounds.
Wallensteins taciturnity, which
made him shun speech, and his love of
silence, which caused him to be irri-
tated at the slightest noise, were due to
his constitutional temperament. He
never smiled, he never asked advice
from any one and he could not endure
to be gazed at even when giving an
order. The soldiers, when he crossed
the camp, pretended not to see him,
knowing that curious look would
bring them Pearson's
Weekly.

did good work in the pitchers position,
taking part in forty-four championship
games, twenty-eight Of which resulted
in victories and sixteen in defeats.
Only once during the season was he
knocked out of the pitchers position,
while on three different occasions he
relieved other pitchers and turned APP
parent defeats into creditable victories.
His best pitching feat was in a game
against the Toledo team, played June
IS, 1895, at Indianapolis, winning by
II to l. On June 20, at indianapolis,
he succeeded in shutting out the De-
troits without a run, although they
were credited with nine safe hits, which,
however, were we'll scattered through
out the game. On July 80, at Minneap-
oils Mimi, the home team made only
five safe hits off his pitching, the In
dianapolis winning by to 4. On Aug.
26, at Indianapolis, the Minneapolis
team made six safe hits off him, but
failed to get a run, the indianapolis
winning by to 0.

feared he had been guyed, but con-
cluded to try again the next night.
This time he had better luck, for he
had scarcely reached the fateful locality
when he saw two figures. one stout and
short, the other tall and evidently slen-
der, although her loose wrap concealed
her figure. Tom caught a distracting
glimpse of short, golden curls sur
mounted by iaunty little toque A
fluffy feather boa, which encircled her
neck, had long ends, which hoated in
the evening breeze, and one of these
blew back and hit Tom a soft blow on
his cheek as he followed after them in
hot pursuit. He passed the couple and
turned to endeavor to get a good view
of the enchantress, but just as he
turned she drew one end of the boa up
against her face, and he only caught a
glance from pair of dark, coQuettish
eyes.
Tom dropped behind, waiting for
some opportunity of addressing them,
for even he was not bold enough to
make advances without an excuse.
This came sooner than he hoped, for the
young woman looked back as if to en-
courage him, and dropped something
unobserved by her companion.
Tom, with fast-beating heart, has
tened to secure it so that he might re-
turn it to its willful loser, but, just as
he reached it, stumbled over a stone
and fell full length upon the pavement.
Beside him lay small gray glove, deli
cately scented and still warm from her
touch.
He would have kept the glove and
displayed it to Dick and Harry, but he
saw that this was the golden gateway
left ajar by herself to the fair owners
acquaintance. Formulating a grace
full speech, he started eagerly forward
but stopped in dismay
The two figures had disappeared as
completely as if the ground had swal-
lowed them. He ran around the near.
est corner, but his search was in vain
He slept that night with the little
glove under his pillow and its faint
sweet perfume stole into his dreams
which were all of the fair one with
golden locks"
The hours of the following day were
leaden but at last evening came or ant

Yankton Press and Dakotian: In
Yankton County, South Dakota, there
are at least one thousand farmers who
came here as poor as the proverbial
turkey Of Job and who to-day count
their worldly possessions by thousands.
Many of them started IN with a house
built of sod, and almost empty handed
so far as horses and cattle go. To-
day they occupy fine dwelling houses,
have large barns, fine horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep, granaries filled with
grain, fruit orchards and money in
hand. We mention this to show that
South Dakota farmers are the prosper
GUS class. Prosperity Is the rule-not
the exception. With fair prices for
grain and live stock they would be
rolllng in wealth. Prices, however,
have nothing to do with the fertility Of
the soil and the favorable character of
the climate, These natural advantages
are here to stay and assure prosperity
to the farming classes.

bSih5 tiiS SillliplOl
broad-sword fencer Of America. While
quite generally so believed, it is not a
fact. The actual champion mounted
broad-sword fencer of America, and,
some assert, one Of the greatest sclen-
| tific broad-sword fencer of the world,
Is woman; Jaguarina, the Spanish
American swordswoman, who, several
years ago, made great hit as a mount
ed and foot fencer on the Pacific coast.
Duncan C. Ross was challenged by
Jaguarlna in San Francisco, Cal, in
April, 1886. She posted her money
with the San Francisco Chronicle, in
an open letter published in the Chron-
icle April T. 1886. Mr.. Ross declined
to meet her over his own signature. At
that time Ross had not clear record
Of unbroken victories, as many err
roneously believe his career as a broad
sword fencer presents. On the con-
trary he had been defeated by Gen. Ag-
rimonti at Salt Lake City; by Capt. e.
N. Jennings, master-at-arms Of the
Olympic Athletic Club Of San Francis
co, CAL; an eX-ofIicer of the Eighth
Royal Irish Hussars, and by Sergt.
Owen Davis, of the Second United
States Cavalry, recognized champion
master Of horse and sword Of the United
States army.
In January, 1887, Sergt. Davis re-
turned to his station at the Preside,
San Francisco, from the Apache war,
where he had fought under Gen. Miles
AS Jaguarina had declared herself
open to challenge from any soldier or
fencer in the world-certainly most
remarkable thing for young woman OF
% years to do-Sergt. Davis called her
out and they fought a mounted contest
in Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco,
Feb. 8, 1887, Jaguarina defeating this
trained soldier by score Of II to 7
points. Up to this time Sergt. Davis
had record of twenty-one continuous
victories; in fact, he had never before
been defeated Among his defeated OPP
ponents was, as stated, Mr.. Ross.
The very next day after her victory
over Sergt. Davis, Jaguarina was chal-
lenged by Capt. Jennings to meet him
in a mounted battle. The challenge
was accepted. Capt. jennings was
smarting under his defeat by Jaguarina

EMANUEL LASKER.

Diun Chess Player.

A Short Sketch Of the Worlds Cham'
plon Chess Player.
Emanuel Lasker, the champion chess
player OF the world, deserves his hon
ors if any master of the checkered
board ever did. His recent victory at
st. Petersburg has won the admiration
from the lovers Of the old game the
world over. AS mere boy he was
greater at chess than most great players
and early learned to calculate results
far ahead of the game, Lasker was
born in Berlin in 1868 and from his
early childhood showed great proticien-
cy in mathematics. He visited the
gymnasium at Landsberg and studied
mathematics at Berlin and Heidelberg.
His first efforts in chess were made
when he was about II years old. His
first tutor in the game was his brother,
whom he readily outstripped. In 1889
he won the Haupt- at Breslau.
Since then he has been the acknowl-

LIGHTING TIE YuLErIDE LOG.
An Old English Custom That Hat Not
Entirely DisappCared,

Entirely Disappeared.
A custom at one time prevalent in
England, and still observed in some of
the northern districts of the old coun-
try is that of placing an immense log
of sometimes the root of a great
tree-in the wide chimney place, says
an exchange, This log if often called
the Yule log and it was on Christmas
eve that it was put into the wide hearth.
Around it would gather the entire fam
lily and its entrance was the occasion
Of great deal of ceremony. There
was music and rejoicing while the one
authorized to light it was obliged to
have clean hands.
1t was always lighted with brand
left over from the log of the previous
year, which had been carefully pre-
served for the purpose. A poet sings
of it in this way:
with the last yeere's brand
Light the new block and
For good success in his spending
On your psaltries play,
That sweet luck may
Come while the log is attending"
The Yule log was supposed to be q
protection against evil spirits and it
was considered a bad omen if the fire
went out before the evening was over

eastern university and were great
chums. The dinner that evening was
given by Harry in honor Of Dicks
birthday, and nothing was lacking from
the festive board which could add to the
enjoyment of the feast. Sparkling
champagne nowedalas! so freely that
Tom, who usually was rather abste-
mious, grew very animated. AT all
times a good deal of boaster, under the
wines stimulating influence Tom sur
passed himself and poured out story
after story OF which he was the hero.
He related a number OF conquests OF
feminine hearts which he had made,
and was beginning on another which he
boisterously declared was the best of
all, but at this point Harry interrupted
him, after giving Dick look at once
fierce and forceful a look which he has
since often used to reduce unfortunate
witnesses he is cross-eXamining to a
state Of complete submission.
That's all right, old man, but can
tell you charmer you can't captivate
for all your wiles."
Tom Strengthened up and demanded
who it was. With another look at
Dick, Harry began: CAS- Dick and 1
were walking along - street the last
two evenings we passed a most beauti-
full girl, accompanied by stout, elderly
woman The old 'un watched her so
closely that she could hardly look at
us, but-wasn't she simply gorgeous

looking. only wish had your win
ming ways, Tom, and I'd try my luck
sure"
Tom was so taken by the idea that he
soon babe the others goodnight and
went home to think up the plans for his
campaign, for he was determined to win
the bet if only to show the boys his
power over the fair sex.
He repaired to the place indicted the
night at $3.50, but no person answering
