jeen and Chased by Indians and Hunters,
but Never Caught.

During the summer Of 1875 bands Of
indians returning from a hunt far out
on the plains brought in stories of hay-
ing seen at different times ard IN differ
ent places, and always in the center of
a large herd, white buffalo They had
used their best horses i'll the effort to
overtake it 70 no purpose, never being
able to get anywhere near the animal
At first we did not pay much attention
to these stories, but still it kept crop
ping up from different camps, and at
last, in the fall Of 1876, myself had a
chance to verify the truth Of the report.
I had been sent on duty north along the
Red Deer river and was camped near
large band Of Blacsfeot, who were hunt
ing south of thatriver. The buffaloes had
moved north III vast numbers, aud the
prairie was black with them.
| had gone out one morning with
party of BIackfeet to see cHe Of their
hunts, end also to Try and kill for N.Y.
self. lily horse was 4 good one aud much
faster tnan any belonging TO the Indian
hunters. l had got detached from the
party, becoming tired of the slaughter,
and must have been at least 30 miles
from camp, when / made for small
clump of timber not far off, intending
to build FIRE and roast portion of
some buffalo meat bad or the saddle
with me. As l approached the wood
band Of about 100 animals burst out Of
the brrSh and made off to the south,
and, yes, most certainly, in the middle
of them was white buffalo. Although
they were a quarter Of mile away,
there could be no mistake about it. He
was there as large as life and quite
white and RAINING like q deer There
was no time to much more than take in
the scene, but [ gathered up the reins
and was after him, determined to bag
that buffalo CT kill NY horse.
Oh, what 9 race it was, mile after
mile! And, although all the band, with
the exception of about a dozen, had
split off and gone in different tiirec-
tons, the white animal, with his body
guard OF about a dozen kept at about
the same distance ahead. I could catch
glimpse of him now and then, and
there was no doubt he was snow white.
Get within shot could not for many
miles. At last they began to tire, and,
although my horse tired also, had
good hopes Of coming up and getting a
shot Alas, for such chancel OF
sudden my horse lurchod forward on
his nose, sending me over his head on to
the prairie and turning a somersault

He had put his foot into badger hole
and brought my hopes of white robe
to sudden end.-Forest and Stream.

WOMEN AND JEWELS.
The Combination Is as Old as Time and
Not u New Fad.

The critic who finds much to blame
in modern women in the number of
jewels they wear on both this and the
other side of the Atlantic will find that
history had set the fashion long before
the fair creatures OF today had opened
their lovely eyes. According to Pliny,
Lolita Paul!na, the wife Of CahGuIa,
were Oh her hands, arms, neck, head
and waist pearls and diamonds to the
value of $1,G80,0 GEO. Faustina had a
ring worth $500, 600, Domitia possessed
one worth $500, coo, and Casonia had
"a bracelet worth $400, 900. Seneca cried
out that one pearl would no longer do
for lady, but she must insist on at
least three for each shell like ear. The
weight of these, it is hard to believe,
could ever be endured by even the vain
est Of fair maids apd matrons e.
There We're women in ancient Rome
whose sole occupation was healing the
torn ears of ladies whose ornaments
had proved too heavy for the pretty
lobes Popp@a's earrings We're worth
$3.50, 1000, and Calpurlia, the wife of
the mighty Julius Caesar, had pair
valued at twice that sam Later OH the
extravaganza had not seemed to have
died out. Marie de- Medici had dress
prepared for the baptism of her chill
dren, and when she attempted to wear
the marvellous creation she found that
it was SO heavy that she could not stand
in it. 1t was trimmed with $4,000
pearls and 3. 200 diamonds.
Men, however, excelled in costly ap-
parel in the middle ages, and Philip
the Good Of Burgundy frequently wore
jewels valued at $500, 600. When he
walked along the streets, people climb
ed over each other to get peep at him.
The Duke Of Buckingham once wore at
the court Of st. James costume cost
ing 100000 The dress of the mobiles
of the middle ages was literally covered
with gold and precious stones. -Chica-

A Fearful Duel.

The most terrible duel fought at any
time in Paris was the one between Colo
mel D., an old Bonapartist officer,
and M. de G. Of the Gardes du
Corps, mere youth, but of herculean
strength. The two men, dashed togeth-
er so as to leave their right arms free,
were armed with short knives, placed
in hackney coach, and driven at a
tearing gallop around the Place de la
Concorde. They were taken out of the
coach dead. The colonel had Is stabs,
the youth only 4, but one of these had
pierced his heart. San Francisco Ar
