IN a VALLEY.
Tcaming There IL m Occupation OF
Dreadful Fatality to H0rscs.

AsS - uNg OC( U VI
Dreadful Fatality TO Aorscs.
The deadliest occupation for men or
horses Is teaming In the borax fields
Of Death valley In the great American
desert. There the longest team in the
world are employed. Scientists de-
clare that the fierce heat In this mar.
row rent in the cracked surface of the
earth is not equaled elsewhere In the
world. When the thermometer often
registers 14O degrees Of heat. unre-
lieved by ven a breath Of air; where
men sleep at night In shallow bitches
filled with water In order to avoid dy-
ing from collapse. the necessity for
the longest teams of mules AMI horses
ever harnessed to draw the great borax
laden wagons Is apparent.
The percentage of deaths among the
horses used in teaming Is greater than
that Of domestic animals used IN any
other calling. Forty to sixty horses
are often hitched to one OF the lum.
bering vehicles in which the borax is
slowly dragged across the sun-baked
alkali plains. The average life OF even
the sturdiest horses used in this work
Is six months, for in this length OF
time they either become broken wind
ed. consuInptive from inhaling the
deadly dust Of the desert. or are driven
crazy by the frightful heat.
A man there. though protected by
the wagon awnings from the suns
rays. cannot 60 an hour without water
without danger Of death. When a
team breaks down and the water sup
ply becomes depleted the men ride at
top speed for the nearest source of
supply, and often when they return
they find that the remaining horses.
made mad by thirst. have broken from
their harness and dashed off only to
find death in the desert.
The boraX wagons weigh 5000
pounds and carry 10000 pounds at q
load. Behind each wagon is a tank
containing hundreds Of gallons Of wa
ter. The horses are harnessed in pairs.
the trained ones in the lead. and the
next In intelligence just ahead of the
tongue, while the unruly and the
youngsters are hitched between. The
nigh leader has a bride with the strap
from the left jaw shorter than the
other. and from this bride runs a
braided rope which the driver, perched
on the wagon seat, holds in his right
hand.
The rore is called the "jerk line,"
and is a little longer than the team.
which stretches out several hundred
feet In front of the wagon. During
the busy season the borax wagons
make an almost continuous train. and
the horses alone if placed in single
file would make a team more than i
hundred miles long.
Besides a little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They curry
themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After a few months Of this kill
ing labor the poor creatures become
unfit for service. A kindly rifle ball
then ends their agony. and their ema-
ciated carcasses are left alongside the
trail to furnish scant picking for the
lowering vulture

YES" said Mr.. Depew, Il do. l
just answered one Of the most peculiar
l w received this afternoon. A youn:
lady who lives at a little town up in
the Adirondack mountains. that l had
never heard Of before, wrote and asked
me to send her money for a wedding
rousseau"
"For a wedding trousseau!" exclaim.
ed the young lady.
Yes. She said l would not miss
$50, and it would make her very happy
to have that sum. and 1t would pay for
all she needed for her wedding outfit.
After explaining that her parents were
opposed to her marrying the man she
loved. simply because he was not rich.
she went OF to say that she was the
prettiest girl in town, that she knew il
l could e her as she sat writing l
would let her have the money for her
trOusseau."
"And did you send it to herr" asked
the young lady.
YES" said Mr.. Depew. "And why
do you think l did it?'
II am sure l don't know" said the
young lady; perhaps because the re-.
quest was such an unusual one"
NO." said Mr.. Depew, ut was be.
cause the young lady stated with such
frankness and evident conviction that
she was the prettiest girl in town."
