about hunting in earnest. Jim saw that
L was annoyed, and apologized fer his
dogs. His eyes frightened when told
him about the fox.
Now he said, you'll see what a
clever hound can do. You'll have some
sport now
"We chased the old hound about for
some time and when we caught him
we set him on the foX's trail and away
We went. He disappeared over Il stone
wall in the direction the fox had taken,
and finally we ceased to hear his voice.
Hell stick to that fox all night
if necessary Jim said; but he'll drive
him back here. You see that hollow
over there? Well, that's where We'll
have to wait
"The hollow was the hottest place
l was ever in. There 1 roasted for two
mortal hours. Dye see all the flesh
I've lost, and dye see the thirst I've got?
Well take the same again, waiter
Well, that's where got it, and haven't
been able to catch up with it since.
Jim kept saying:
Just wait five minutes more. I'm
sure / hear them coming along
SAT last 1 rebelled, and fox or no
fox, got up and walked away. just over
the brow of the hill from where we had
been hiding was the finest, coolest,
shadiest dell you ever saw, with lit
tie brook running through it. walked
down there to. rest; and what do you
suppose l found there, curled up on
the softest bed of pine needles you ever
saw? That hound we had been wait
ing for!"
The mans indignation was such that
his throat hissed as the cooling bev-
erage rolled down it.
"Of course" he went on, "you can't
shoot friends hound even if you are
mad. If any shooting's to be done,
you've got to shoot your friend. didn't
want to hurt Jim, for, really, it wasn't 4
his fault, as he didn't know any better,
| and so l merely kicked the life half
out of the brute before he could get
away, and then went up to Jim and
told him didn't care to hunt any more
that day.
when we got home we found dead
fox there besides the three sensitive
| dogs, and they told us that the goose
was really responsible for its death.
According to their story, it had sneaked
into the farmyard and the goose had
caught sight of it and squawked and
shooed it like mad. That brought up
the bird dog and the young hound, and
the fox lodged into the barn, where q
horse kicked and killed it before it hnd
chance to get at the goose.
"Jim believed the story, and it made
him prouder than ever of the goose.
| offered to stay over another day and
go fox hunting again if he would let me
take the goose along instead OF the
dogs, but he was SO fond of his pet
that he wouldn't risk it. So here am.
If anybody wants to appreciate a fine
goose and get big thirst, just let him
go fox hunting with Jim's dogs, and
waiter, bring us another drink. IN. Y.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE INJURED IN BATTLE.
Trying Experience of a Surgeon During
tho Civil War.

tho Civil War.
Il as an interesting study for me to
observe the difference in soldiers when
suffering from wounds before being
treated by the surgeon, and while on
the operating table. Some were cool
and seemingly Indifferent to pain, while
others would beg to be made insensible,
and often those who were slightly hurt
made more noise than those that were
fatally injured. Two serious cases out
of the many dealt with occur to me.
l remember them more readily, per-
haps, because they were Michigan men,
with the rank of captain, / believe.
You remember the battle of Winches-
ter, September 10, 1864? Yes? Well,
on the morning of the fight the cavalry
brigade to which | was attached made
an attempt to effect a crossing at Purns
Ford, some miles below Winchester.
The hospital had been established in a
little piece of woods on the east side
of the Opequan, near the ford. Three
times did the brigade try to cross be-
fore success crowned their efforts, the
sharpshooters on the bluff opposite be-
ing very hard to dislodge. In a short
time the wounded began to come in,
some slightly and others severely hurt.
Among the latter was one of the Off
GERS 1 have mentioned. A sharpshoot-
er's bullet had struck him on the point
of the elbow, passing up and emerging
nbout three inches from the shoulder,
shattering the bone in it's passage. 1t
was a bad wound, and difficult one to
deal with, the arm having to be cut off
so near the shoulder. However, de
termined to do the best 1 could. and
soon the patient was ready for the
knife. l wanted to give him chloro-
form, but he would have none of it,.
He assured me that his nerves were
good, and that he needed nothing to
help him bear the pain. 1 was afraid
of him, but at last concluded to let him
have his way. He was true to his word.
During the entire operation he never
uttered groan nor made any intima-
tion that he suffered in the least. This
was the best exhibition of nerve have
ever seen in my army practice, not ex-
cepting the one l have previously men
toned.
The other officer alluded to was of a
different type, but not whit less brave
than this companion in arms. He was
brought in later on with a gunshot
wound in his arm, which had shattered
| the bone and necessitated amputation.

REvEILLE ON sHIPeoARD.
Tho BuEie Calls All Hands to Lash Up
the Hammocks.

The Bug1e Calls All Hands to Lash Up
the Hammocks.
Let us spend day on board of man
of-war and see how this is done. Let
us suppose that she is in port. We take
our place on her deck very early in the
morning. The heavens are bright with
stars, and about us masts and rigging,
smoliestacks and ventilators rise up in
shadowy outlines, while the big guns
loom ill-defined and ghostlike. In the
gangway sentinels are pacing; on the
bridge quartermaster keeps his look
out; and back and forth on the quarter
deck PAGES an officer, alone. BY the
light of a lantern he presently consults
book for the morning orders" which
have been written by the executive Off
Ger the night before; and then he di-
rects the quartermaster to call the boat
swain's mate, the hammock showers,
the master-at-arms and the bugler
Then passes a period of ten minutes,
during which a few shadowy figures
appear on deck and take their stand
beside the long, trough-like places in
the ships bulwarks known as the ham,
mock nettings, opening them up and
preparing them for the reception of
the hammocks. Then, at the time as
signed in the morning orders, the Off
Ger of the deck gives his first routine
order: Sound the reveille! Call all
hnnds!"
AT once there ring out in the hitherto
silent ship those merry bugle notes

known to almost all of us. To them
have been fitted the words:
I can't get 'em up;
l can't get 'em up;
I can't get EN- up in the morning.
1 can't get 'em up:
can't get 'em up:
I can't get 'em up at all!
The captains worse than the sergeant:
The sergeant's worse than the corp'ral;
The corp'rals worse than the pIOvate;

can't get 'em up;
can't get 'em up in the morning.
l can't get 'em up;
can't get 'em up;
I can't set 'em up at all!
The last note is followed by the shrill
whistle of a boatswain's mate and the
prolonged, hoarse cry: "A-a-a-ll
ha-a-nds!"
Then on the decks below you can hear
the master-at-arms rushing from ham
mock to hammock, giving the slug
CARDS slap and shake and repeatedly
crying:
"Heave out; heave out and lash up!"
Run below and watch the feet AMI
legs dangling from the swinging ham
mocks; see the sailors drop from them
10 the deck like bats from the limbs
Of trees, then neatly fold their blankets,
roll them up with the mattress in the
hammocks and pass around the latter
seven times a rope lashing until each re-
sembles a huge sausage. Then, un-
Singing them from the hooks overhead,
they carry them hastily on deck to the
nettings; for in ten minutes after that
bugle call of reveille every hammock
must be slowed away, and anyone who
comes later with his hammock is re-
ported for punishment by the officer OF
the deck to the captain.-Lieut John NJ.

The last volley ratified over the newly

blew the smoke from the rifles. The
grizzled old corporal in charge of the
squad was blubbering like a baby.
"I'd like such funeral as this when

That was three weeks ago, and the

fact that it was brought to this coun-

A report has been sent out from Chi

ed train to Los Angeles, the Union Pa
cific-Northwestern combination will
lengthen its time Of running between
Chicago and the coast. The report is

fore the Santa Fe put on its rapid and
handsome train, and as no change was

made. even should the Santa Fe con-
clude to take off it's star train.
1t is commonly believed among rail-
road men that the Santa Fe will aban-
don this train. as has been reported.
Ii is the general opinion that the warm
winter has seriously inierfered with

running could not be maintained.

AT B MOUNTAIN.

Five of the mining companies now
owning properties at Table mountain
and in the vicinity are busy doing de-
velopment work on their claims. While
they realize fully that the depth which
will be required. in all probability, to
prove the value of the properties, can
not be attained with the slender means
at their disposal, still, they also realize
fully that the claims will not develop
themselves and that foreign capital
will not be invested in prospect holes
Of the regulation Wyoming brand. The
stockholders in these companies say
that they rather expect to strike pay
rock at a depth of anywhere from so to
100 feet and that while the present
means at their disposal do not assure
them of attaining even this moderate
depth, still. il nothing is ventured,
nothing will be won; II no prospecting
Is done. other than the surface, 1t is
simply out Of the question to enlist
outside help in the development of the
properties.-Denver News.

Congressman Mondell Of Wyoming

SEM Inspector Mclaughlin out 10 the
Shoshone reservation In this state to
see what terms can be made with the
Shoshone Indians for the sale of a
tract Of land known as the Big Horn
Hot springs.
These springs are situated in the
center of a tract about ten miles
square," said Mr.. Mondell. land their
virtues are known to every n for
hundreds of miles around. They are
1870 miles from a railroad, but people
travel this distance with great discom-
fort in order to avail themselves of the
curative powers of the waters. The
temperature of the springs is 1876 de-
gress and 1850. 900 gallons Of water are
discharged every "a hours.
There are no buildings there now,'
continued Mr.. Mondell, except the
rude huts which have been erected by
the patients themselves. l remember
going there once when thoroughly ex-
hausted after a long and arduous cam
paign through my state. Over one Of
the springs a shed had been construct
ed with a root Of fresh cedar boughs.
The steam from the water saturated
the cedar and the place was filled with
a most delicious perfume. After l had
bathed l came out with every bit OF
tiredness gone. 1t was simply wonder
full. We hope to get the government to
buy these springs and make them an
other great resort like the Hot Springs
Of Arkansas. When this is done the
Burlington and Northwestern roads
will both run tracks to the reservation
and thousands and thousands of co.
pie will be benefited"

SO much on the move today as had

Der of those who had at first signified
a Willingness to join in the scheme
withdrew from the call before 1t was

that is your platform you could never

The call for a Taxpayers meeting

jority. and it would be the part Of wis
dom to permit that party to take the
credit for all the glory there is in it.
They should be forced from their m

The 81 men who will compose the re-

LARGE SHIPPERS AGAINST IT.

LARGE SHIPPERS AGAINST 1T.
1t is now stated that The railway
pooling bill pending in congress is
likely to suffer the same fate that other
general legislation will in the present
congress. The Railway World" has a
lengthy article on the bill and Its pro-
visions and says: The chief influence
which seems to be arrayed against the
present bill is that of the large ship
pers. The present system affords the
favor. which gives them u great ad-
vantage over their small competitors.
This advantage would disappear under
a system of division Of business or a
fixed division of earnings, for the mo-
tive of paying rebates would disap-
pear. The theory OF members Of the
interstate commerce commission Is
that railways. being quasi public cor.
porations and holding public fran
chises. have not the right to grant
larger concessions to grea: shippers
than to small mes beyond the reason
BILE difference in the cost OF handling.
1t is their policy to establish this uin-

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

A report was received at Burlington
headquarters in Omaha yesterday of a
peculiar accident that occurred the
other day about five miles west of Otis.
Two cars Of freight train No. $50 were
derailed. They were two empty box
cars and were situated in the middle
portion of the train. They ran along
off the track for several miles. Con-
siderable damage vas done to the
track, but the cars went humping
along, the couplings holding good, and
escaped any injury. The dropping Of
n broken brake shoe was the cause of
lhe accident. The train officials are
trying to figure out just how more seri-
GUS results were escaped.
