pole and poked his wheel into the finish in
the last second. Summary:

Race.

Tarpon, Jennie r., Witch. and Alfri-

uncertain wind, the yachts finished
within the prescribed time, and the
race was very interesting, owing to
the fact that the boats kept we'll to-

A little party of spectators went over
the course in the Ina with Judge Wal

among the interested lookers-on were
several members of the Minnetonka
Yacht club. The coming interlaken
series appears to have whetted inter-

crowd of visitors than usual at the

The sticklcback is the most combatve

believe, that which actuates men to fight
over women. When | have watched them

whether there has been lady fiddler
present or not or, if SO, which one she
was. But whatever the motive may have
been, | have seen them fight with as much
desperation as would have been necessary
If 40 females had been the point of Issue.
Not only will they fight one another, but
they will even go out of their way TO at.
tack anything which may appear to them
offensive, and if u walking stick be put

batants Will almost surely suspend per.
sonal animosities for awhile and make for

stick, the two turn against each other again.

and becomes faded creature, though at

A TRUE HEROINE.

She lived in Placer county, not IN,
! from where the pretty town of Auburn
now stands, for il happened many wears
ago, i'm the early sixties, ard l expect that
| but few now residing there have any
rocollections of the affair. The family,
consisting of her fathcr-a mincr-hCr
mother and little brother. dwelt ina small
shanty erected under cover of a convenient
ledge. The shanty was miserable struc-
ture Of two rooms, but IL held what many
n grander dwelling failed To contain, IA
loving household The mother lay sick
with the fever, ano Carmen, then a girl
of 10, performed tho drudgery of the house
Her little brother, 10 curly headed romp OF
3, was Garments great responsibility. The
father was away from early morning UNI
til late az night at his work, and so the
little hands of IL found plenty TO do. In
COMMON with the custom Of miners, the
father kept store of giant powder in the
house, which in the present case was con-
tanned in "a sack placed in an old box that
stood by the foot of the bed where lay the
sick mother. The upper part of the
shanty, under the sloping board roof, was
utilized as storage place for old dunnage
and rubbish. One night the father was
absent In the mine on night work. BY
some means the shanty took fire, prob
ably from the cracked and defective adobe
chimney. Carmen awoke TO find that the
roof was afre and sparks dropping down.
Springing up, she loudly cried 10 awak-
en- her mother and Tommy, but the little
boy became frightened and hid his head
beneath the covers of his bed. Carmen
sprang 10 lift him from the bed when she
saw the shower of sparks falling upon the
powder box. Recognizing the awful
danger She attempted to leave the child
for the moment and carry out the powder.
but in her excitement she caught her foot
in the overhanging bed clothes and fell TO
the floor, breaking her thigh bone. Tn
able 10 arise, the brave girl crawlod 10 tho
box OF powder, and drawing herself up,
covered the box with her body. The
mother had by this time succeeded i'm get
ting ont Of bed and getting outside the
now furiously burning shanty, and man
aged TO take with her the little boy. The
cries of Carmen, "Oh, take Tommy out,
won { you" turned for time the mothers
thought from her daughters danger
The fire had aroused some Of the neigh
bors, who speedily ran TO the burning
shanty and lent what aid they could. Car
men was discovered and removed. Her
rescucrs found her almost hidden beneath
a mass Of burning cinders, her back fright
fully burned. Tender hands bore her TO
shanty, where all that could
be done TO alleviate her suffering was ca
gerly bestowed. But human aid came too
late. The brave little spirit fingered I'M
til the following day and then departed for
a brighter land. 1t was not known until
after she had recovered consciousness, a
short time before she died. that she had
broken her leg. Her last words were:
Kiss me, Tommy, dear. I've saved you,
and I'm so happyW-San Francisco Call.

A Waste of Money.

The worst of the western horse is that
he has practically to be broken over again
every spring. In the autumn, when his
work is done, he is turned out on the
range to shift for himself till the spring
grass has made him fat and strong. He
is then caught up and ridden. 1t is ten to
one that he bucks. In fact many horses
do so every time they are ridden on first
starting. This is an honest affair, how
ever. The worst kind are those who wait
till they can catch you mapping. / well
remember one of this sort, whom we called
Everlasting, whose favorite time was when
you were lighting your pipe after a hard
ride on your way home.
There was horse, too, belonging to the
brothols Ross, who had the reputation of
being the most vicious animal in the coun-
try One of the brothers would ride him
sometimes as an exhibition, and fine
sample of Craftsmanship it was. But the
other brother rode 10y his side with a load
cd revolver, for his charming mount had
once unshipped his rider and pounded him
to death with his fore feet.
This reminds me of what happened TO
large cattle owner who was noted for
his parsimony. Once he was thrown and
dragged. His case seemed hopeless. One
or his men galloped alongside TO shoot the
horse as last resource. just at that mo-
ment old 1.-TWO Dot Wilson-for so he
was nicknamed from his brand-got his
loot loose. He looked up and caught sight
OF the pointed pistol. "What were you
going to dor" he asked cxcitedly. ITO
shoot your horse. WHAT Shoot that
horseY Why, he cost me five and twenty
dollars" 1t seemed MS if with old 1.-TWO
Dot money was indeed dcaror than life.
