MOST PECULIAR ROOSTER.
He Very Much Resembles a Bird of
Paradise.

Paradise.
To see a rooster that resembles a,
bird of paradise is a rare sight, but
such a one has recently been a com
mon spectacle in Japan, says the New
York World.
This particular fowl was, apart from
his gorgeous appendange, Of the ordi-
nary type found in Japan, except that
he was a little more proud in his bear
ing than his fellows
1t may have been his manner that
first led to his selection as the bearer
of a most magnificent tail. The brief
history that can be obtained of this
freak rooster is silent on that point. 1t
probably was selected because only an
arrogant lordly manner could support
such a wonderful and varigated APP
pendage. M
Be that as il may, the rooster did
certainly have a tail sixteen feet long.
In it were all the bright colors mag
Unable. The tail was far more bril-
liant in its colorings than the shining
feather-fan of a peacock.
The neighbors of the Jap displayed
no interest in the freak bird, but were
amused by those who expressed admir-
alton and wonder. who were invari-
ably foreign travellers.
Then it was discovered that the
beautiful long tail was not freak Of
nature but the clever work of the in
genious Jap, who had fashioned and
fastened the tail in such g way as to
defy detection except after the most
minute scrutinV

vICIssrTUDEs OF LIFE.
Sequel to an Experience of a Strug'
Cling Young Author.


'You remember my telling you
awhile ago, when we were talking
about the vicissitudes of life" said a
struggling young author, according to
the New York Sun, about an expert
ence that I hadsonce? l had a, number
of manuscripts, you remember, which
desired to sell and which l sent out
to the publications 1 thought them best
suited for One after another they came
back, until they had all come back but
one That one in my own judgment,
was much the best of the lot, and had
built strong hopes upon it; and when,
so to speak, it sill didn't come back, 1
felt sure that it had been accepted. But
after waiting awhile longer and not
hearing from it, I wrote, asking about
it, and the publisher wrote me a polite
note saying they had no record of it;
it had never been received.
THAT was the story as l told it to
you, and I supposed that that was the
end of it? But now let me tell you the
sequel.
"Of course I wrote a polite note in
reply to the publisher; and in that note
I described the manuscript and said
that perhaps it might yet be found !;
and later it was found, and, by snakes,
they returned it,
That was solemn; but it was one of
those things that are so everlastingly,
h-blastedly solemn that you have to
laugh over EN- and there can't be
anything very terrible in anything that
you can laugh over; so, you see, come
to take it altogether, that experience
was not very distressing after all''

courages South Dakota breeders.

John D. Hale, of Tilford, one of the
most prominent stockmen in South Da-
kota, some months ago received the
contract for furnishing the Eighth
cavalry at Fort Meade with some 20
or 80 horses. Notwithstanding that he
visited practically every prominent
horse ranch in western South Dakota,
eastern Wyoming and southeastern
Montana in the effort to secure horses
that would pass the rigid inspection,
every horse so far turned in for in
spection has been rejected. The horses
were the very best that could be pro-
cured, experience having shown them
to be the hardest animals to be found
in the United States. Some of the
horses could not be purchased on the
range or in the markets of Chicago
and New York for $3.50 each. Mr.
Hale says he offered one man $500 for
a team of handsome grays, provided
they passed the inspection. The ami
mails were submitted, but, while the
board admitted that they were fine
looking pair, they were declared not
suitable for cavalry. Horse raisers

A swooNING GRADUATE.
Alarming Effect of .Overstudy Upon
an American Girl.

The daughter of a friend of ours the
president of college, took part in
this commencement season in an ora
torical contest of the Ladies' Literary
Union for a prize, on which six of the
brightest and most popular students
had set their hearts. She competed
last year for the prize and secured
second place. Her theme was "a
Noble Unrest" In the middle of the
Grafton she stopped. She had forgotten.
A hush fell on the excited audience.
A physician present took out his watch
and watched her stand like a statue
for full three minutes, till, with a
burning face, she turned to leave the
stage, raeledI and fell A powerful
student of the other sex caught her in
bis arms and bore her off the stage
to the door. In the hush that followed
she partially revived from the swoon,
and raising herself on the big seniors
shoulders as he carried her to the door,
she struggled to finish her grafton,
speaking slowly in an unnatural voice
with closed eyes. Meanwhile the ex-
other girls half tainted, and one was
carried senseless out of doors.
The next speaker overwhelmed the
general tendency to Mysteries by deliv-
ering a fine grafton. When the last
of the speeches had been spoken and
the judges were about to retire up the
aisle walked the presidents daughter,
supported by her mother. She took
her place on the stage. began the ora
ton where she had left off, and finish
ed in fine style, She walked calmly off,
but instantly fell into another swoon,
from the effect of the strain, and had
to be carried out.
+ The judges, of course, awarded her
the prize, but it is a matter of doubt
if they did wisely in SO doing. If she
had died or lost her reason the second
time, both of which she must have
risked if the account as communicated
to us be true, a dreadful responsibility
would have been incurred by all con-
cerned. 1t is quite probable that the
effects of that strain will be the seeds
of an awful harvest. The collapse re-
suited from general strain and over
