THE COLTS AND THE STAGS.

The Republican colts are between the
devil and the deep sea. Some insist that
their chief, Miguel A. Otero, shall not bite
at the bait offered by the stays of the old
regime. Others think it Is the best that
can be expected, and ought to be accepted.
The colts are not lacking in cunning, but
their nerve is sadly deficient. The CON-
test is interesting to many who know
what is going on beneath the surface of
Republicanism in New Mexico at the
present time.

SENATOR REDFIELD PRooToR, of YER
mont, who was secretary of war in the Har-
rison cabinet, seems to be the man who
deliberately and treacherously punctured
the tire of the Reed boom. tits probable
that Proctor caused the six votes of Yer.
mont to be instructed for Mckinley with
the sinister purpose of soon floating a
Harrison boom rather than helping Nc
Kinley, but his action will probably prove
the one thing needful to nominate the as

And there broods on his face look of care,
While he groans and walls and tears at his

At last bright thought comes into his

1t was the tall masculine woman who
spoke. Her younger companion held
her protectors arm nervously and shook
visibly.

and it is coming this way"
just then themonstercame with rush
and swish and hypnotic glitter in
his bead-like eyes. 1t lodged right be-
tween the feet of the new woman and
vanished through little hole in the
wall, while the cat which had aroused
it sprang after, but brought up with a
thump against the wall unable to fol-

There were two shrieks, wild
clutching of boomers, leap toward
the table, and then a fall. The younger
woman had tainted. Nature had again
asserted herself. The new woman was

mercules and enc Hn,uI,.

Some passengers over one of the Ber-
lin canal bridges the other day noticed
the sudden appearance of two black
points in the sky at a considerable dis
lance away, which developed into two
ducks. Behind them, at a lower level,
flew another bird, which suddenly rose
into the air above the ducks and Their
shot down upon them like an arrow.
One of the ducks flew sideways toward
the Thiergarten; the other, closely
pursued by it's enemy, flew slanting
into the canal, and, reaching the water
exactly behind the bridge, dived, while
the hawk, in his blind haste, struck
against the head of a statue of Hercules
and fell, once more tapping it's great
wings, dead on the pavement of the
bridge. The bird was a splendid speC-
men, the wings having an expansion Of
more than three feet.

PARIS OF AMERICA.
New York Is the Metropolis, the Rest IL
Provincial.

New York Is the Metropolis, the Rest Il
Provincial.
After taking into full account the
claims of the sensitive city of Chicago,
il may be truthfully stated that the
city of New York is the Paris of
America. There are other municipal
tiles which are doing their best in their
several ways to rival her. but it is
toward New York that all the eyes in
the country are turned, and from
which they take suggestion as a cat
measure provincial. Many of us pro-
fcss not to approve New York, but
though we cross ourselves piously, we
take or read a New York daily paper.
New York gives the cue alike TO secre-
tary of the treasury and (by way of
London) to the social swell. The ablest
men in the country seek New York as a
market for their brains, and the
wealthiest people of the country move
to New York to spend the patrimony
their railsplitting fathers or grand
fathers accumulated. Therefore, it is
perfectly just to refer to the social life
of New York as representative of that
clement of the American people which
has been most blessed with brains or
fortune, and as representative of our
host highly eveloped civilization. 1t
ought to be our best. The men and
women who contribute to its movement
and influence ought to be the pick OF
the country. But what do we find?
We find as the ostensible leaders of
New York society set of shallow
worldlings whose existence is given up
to emulating one another In elaborate
and splendid social fripperies. They
dine and wine and dance and entertain
from January to December. Their
houses, whether in town or IN the fash
ionable watering places to which they
move in the summer, are as sumptuous,
if not more so, than the French nobility
in it's palmiest days, and their enger-
giles are devoted to the discovery of new
expensive luXuries and fresh titillat-
ing creature comforts. = Scribner's
Magazine.

geese and edible birds in few hours.
Game of all kinds is abundant, and fur
ther up the country pheasants of the
most delicious flavor are plentiful. The
Yorktown, despite her steady years of
service, is in excellent trim, and offic-
ers and crew are proud of her.
While on board the Yorktown / was
presented to the feline mascot, "Char-
ley" the most famous of cats. "Char-
ley" joined the Yorktown in 1889. He
has travelled something like 100000
miles in her, and is the oldest member
of the crew, with the exception of one
seaman, Martin Foley. Officers and
sailors come and go, court-martials are
held, assertions take place and penal
ties are inflicted, but Charley" re-
mains the pet of the ship and the most
exalted cat, marine or otherwise, on the
globe. The hundreds of scattered peo-
ule who have served on the Yorktown
will be delighted to learn that Char
ley" is still ION deck" so to speak. He
has lost his hearing on account of the
heavy firing in target practice, but he
They tell funny story about this
famous cat. When the Yorktown was
on Behring sea duty she moored one
day at a dock on the opposite side of
which an English gunboat lay. AS
was his wont Charley" walked out
on the dock to take a view of things.
Some English sailors, observing his
swagger, remarked that Ginger"
should be brought out and introduced.
One of them went on board the Eng
lish gunboat and brought out Gin
GER" lusty cat of lofty British preten-
tions and aristocratic mien. The two
cats met on the dock and touched noses
in disdainful way, when, all of sud-
den, Charley" let fly his right paw,
striking the Briton on the jaw and
knocking him overheard. This act
performed he strutted back to his ship
as if to say: did you see me do i'm"
His performance was cheered by the
Yorktown jackies. and that cats stock
rose so per cent. then and there. The
picture of the Yorktown's pet which ac-
companies this is in the possession of
nearly every officer and sailor on the
ship. Scores of them have been sent
home and thousands of people in the
United States know about the York
towns feline mascot. All such will be
pleased to know that Charley" is fat
and hearty, despite his weight of years,
and the most beloved cat afoat.

SOCIAL LITTLE cHIPMuNks.
Interesting Traits and Habits of the
Squirrels Spry Cousins.

interesting Traits and Habits of the
Squirrels spry Cousins.
Like their squirrel cousins, the chip
hunks possess vast deal of inquisi-
tiveness, coupled with a far greater
fearlessness of man, SO that one gets
very good opportunities for acauaint-
ancc. In the fall days the little striped
fellows are full of bustling toll. New
1ork's suburbs and the sparsely settled
annexed territory contain thousands
OF merry chipmunks, making ready
their winter homes, and if people would
watch them little they would find
them interesting and social little neigh
bors.
Their subterranean dwellings, arc be-
gun as soon as the spring weather be-
comes well settled, usually late in
April or early in May. If "a pair Of them
begin building and become overtaken
by one of the cold rains, so frequent
In the spring, they scurry back to win
ter quarters and resume their hiber-
mating sleep, Owing to their social in
stincts, they usually select site not
tar from the home of another pair.
Under loosely-piled stone wall or
the roots of tree is favorite nest
ing place.
Owing to the number of enemies who
constantly hunt and destroy them, the
hunks have to build a rather elabo-
rate burrow. At least two, and some
times three or four, entrances lead to
the nest proper. These openings are
usually made under a surface rock or
tuft of ferns or the roots of a tree,
where they attract little attention. BY
devious course of sometimes IL or
Is feet the underground path leads to
the den under the wall. The other
path will lead in from an entirely OPP
posite direction. The hole always
plunges steeply down at first, far be-
low the level of the den. This per-
mits gradual sup grade" to be pre-
served as the path, thus draining the
burrow and preventing washouts after
heavy rains.
After the young are reared and the
August harvest days come on, the chip
hunks enlarge their homes by cxcavat-
ing pantries or storerooms all along the
paths. These are to hold the winters
provisions. Under the nest itself, which
is about foot high by two feet in
length and warmly lined with fine, soft
grasses, these little caves are roughly
scooped out and left unlined.
Among the most provident of crea-
lures these midgets relax their merry
play about the time the grain fields
grow yellow and begin to soberly work.
Until then they seem to have not an
earthly care. Now the game oe 81 spy"
and tag" are abandoned, and, with
ridiculously swollen-out cheeks, young
and old begin to carry home grain and
early nuts. Chincapins, hazel nuts
acorns and "pig-nuts" they lug in in
vast numbers. One chipmunk has been
known to hold seven good-sized acorns
in his capacious little cheek pouches
so when one realizes that each one
makes 100 or more trips a day to the
burrow he will soon see what store
is being laid away.-N. Y. World.
