tion of the waste from butchers slaughter house, was half concealed. He examined the ground carefully on th. side first approached. It was undis- turbed; but Il couple of singular holes on the opposite side met his gaze, and seemed to give him considerable satis- faction. From the larger a deep-cut scar in the earth made an irregular trail that wound away toward the hill--the mark of something heavy which had been slowly dragged away.
 Grasping his club, the boy hurried cautiously along on this track, peering about him as he walked. Presently from the cover of a bush in which the trail seemed to end 0 large coyote jumped and began to struggle, though vainly, to escape from the grip of steel trap, the jaws of which were firm ly clamped on his foot. From the trap went Il chain, also of steel, to heavy mass of iron, the dragging of which had made the trail in the sand.
 The animal thrashed about in desper- ation; it's yellow eyes were gleaming and it's snapping jaws revealed q set Of white and glistening teeth. With the utmost unconeern, however, the stout young fellow quickly dispatched his captive with sharp and well-aimed blow on the head.
 The boy soon set and concealed his trap again and smoothed away the tracks in the earth. After that he slung the dead coyote on his shoulders to pack him home.
 In the shed, where he deftly and skill fully removed the pelt, the clearer light now revealed number of similar skins in the various stages of tanning. All, however, were minus the ears and the skin of the head, and this portion of the hide just acquired he now removed and laid aside. while the rest was treated with muddy solution of alum and salt and left to cure.

years before and carrying 1,070 square feet of duck It was this new tyne of boat which won the pennant in 1883.
 But the Avalanche was not to have it all her own way, for in the meantime Mr. Buckhout had built the old Jack Frost for Commodore Archibald Rogers who won the pennant the following year. The lateen Scud now made her appearance from the Shrewsbury river. With her trussed-up runner plank, her boom projecting forward of tine bow spirit and the yard hung between two shear poles, she was strange sipht to the Hudson river crowd. After the io- nom1nlous defeat of the Scud Mir. Rog- CTS built two lateens, but subsequently returned to the sloop rig. About this tune MT. Irving Grinnell, commodore of the Hudson River I. \. C., built the cat Flying Cloud, carrying eco square feet of duck but it was found difficult to keep her sail and rigging from giv- ing. The present high standard that the catboat has attained is due to Com modore Il. c. Higginson, of the Orange Lake l. '. C. Mr. Higginson has worked necessarily. deyoting much tune and money to this type of boat. Ills prize-winning cat ice yacht Cold Wave IS the outcome of the experi- mental building of four boats. She car res but 400 feet of sail; bis larger ice yaeaf' Shadow, has 500 square feet of duck.
 
 The lateens have steadily improved until. in Mir. John A Roosevelt's cele- brated Vixen, the type reached it's high est notch on the Hudson, while the Georgie, of worldwide fame, owned by Capt. Charles P. Irwin, of the North Shrewsbury club, was the winner of the three challenge pennants and cham pion of New Jersey, beating boats of nearly double her size.

that. The following year the Hudson River Ice Yacht club was formed, and won the pennant from the Tough keepsie club. February IA, 1887, with the Jack Frost, the owner of which had joined the former club.
 The Hudson River club has held the trophy ever since. In 1888, 1889 and 1892 it was won three times in success sion against the Shrewsbury 1. '. c. by the magnifcent sloop Icicle, owned ty the veteran ice ygGhtsman, MT. J ohm A. Roosevelt. The new Jack Frost won the pennant on February 9, 1893, and now holds it for the Hudson River Ice Yacht club, as there have been no races for the champion pennant of the world since that date.
 The Canadian challenge will proba- bly be sailed off Roosevelt's point, or Hyde Park. both places being near Poughkeepsie. The race committee have the option, providing the ice is not good in this locality, to appoint course to be sailed over-the nearest natural course.

 The sun was not yet up, and the win try morning was sharp with frost and gray with u low-hanging mist, as the door of q cottage that stood little apart from the rest of the town swung open and bareheaded boy came forth. He seemed to mind tue chill very little. for he wore no coat, and the Sleeves of his rough, gray shirt were rolled up at the elbows, revealing e thick, sinewed pair of arms, tr5fie sscarred and good deal coored i'll q red brown tint.
 Not far away was a shed, partially filled with wood. In it, too, were odds and ends of things that accumulate about huusez-boxes, sacks, bottles and old pieces of stovepipe. From d dusly corner the boy drew forth q stout hickory clnb-the handle of a pick. This he tucked under his arm, and. putting his hands in his pockets, strode away through the sagebrush that grew to the very edge of the dooryard. moving briskly up the gentle slope which led to the foothills Of the mountains, loom ing tall in the west.
 As he went, the loftiest peaks as sumed q rosy hue under the beams of the sun; the twitter of bird or two sounded duly on the air, and q rabbit now and then hopped silently away, to disappear in the friendly shelter.
 A mile from the house he slowed his pace, looked about to get his bear ings' and then commenced search which resulted, almost immediately, in his finding ! elump of brush in which piece of raw and bloody meat, q por-

in 1856 he constructed a boat with four runners, but this did not prove sue cess. By 1860 the runner board had made it's appearance, and larger boats were constructed up the Hudson. In 1870 a radical change took place. A framework was placed on the runner plank and the stern was pinched to a sharp point; but these boats were hard riding and difficult to steer. with their large jibs and the oyerproportioned mainsail with its outhanging boom and short gaff. This brought their cen ter of sail balance so far aft thut at times they were perfect brutes; they would often turn upside down, throw ing their owners out of the cockpit with seant ceremony. The year 1879 saw an- other marked change-the stepping of the mast forward of the runner plank by about 31a feet This required a short ening of the area of the iib, thus bring ing the center of the sail balance nearer the fore runners. Later, the main booms were shortened the side bars were dis carded. wire rope guys being substi- tuted, and instead of the od-fashioned cockpits elliptical steering boxes were fastened at their extreme sterns To Mr. H, Relyea, who built the Robert Scott, afterwards christened Avalanche, belongs the credit of this great change. It is easily seen what jump was made when the Scott, with 499 square feet of sail, easily outpointed and out footed even the old Icicle, built few

 l have brought these exciting strug' gles down to date; now word as to the growth of these flyers of the frozen rivers. There is now in the possession of Mr. Oliver Booth, of Poughkeepsie, the runners cf an ice boat built by Henry Sedgewick in 1790. The craft was built in the crudest fashion; 1t was simply square box mounted on three runners and driven by a small spriS sail. This was the beginning. An up to-date yacht now carries over 7oo square feet of sail, makes more than a mile minute when under way, and costs $1,200.
 The next ice boat that came into ex- istenee, so far as is known, was built by MT. Nathan B. Cook in 1858 at Red Bank. N. J. The idea was put into his head by the keen interest aroused by Dr. Kane's arctic explorations. This also was mere box with three run ners. although on larger scale than Mir. SedgewiclS's boat built over 60 years earlier.
 In 1855 Mir. Clark mounted duckipg skiff on three runners-with good- sized sail-a move in the right direction.

THE pREslpgNTA AND HIS SALARY
Cnn He Live MT Ease on the Income
from Ills SnvinRsf


Cnn He Live MT Ease on the Income
from His Snvingsf
"I shall not attempt to answer the
question: How much of his salary does
the president expend?" writes ex-Presi-
dent Harrison in an article in the
Ladies' Home Journal, on THE Social
Life of the President" But those who
think he can live at his ease after his re-
tirement on the income from his saw
ings should take account of several
things: First, that the net income
from safe investments does not exceed
four per cent; second, that the amount
invested in home yields no income,
and third, that he must have private
secretary, for his mail will be so large
that he cannot>deal with it himself. A
son of one of our most eminent presi-
dents who had lost all of his means told
me that it was pathetic to see his father,
who was in i'll health, laboring beyond
his strength to answer the letters that
came to him. But if the president re-
tains a fair measure of health he will
take care of himself. If he was ever
capable of directing the affairs of the
nation he may be trusted to administer
his own business; and if he has won the
esteem of his fellow-citizens, and has
rightly valued it, he will not barter it
for riches. To any vocation from which
a man may be suitably called to the
presidency he may suitably return"
