herder, and hurries OF, until, for want
of breath, or because he has seen some
imaginary bugaboo, he falls fiat upon
his side among the grass and lies still,
believing himself to be securely hidden.
Then the herder, creeps softly up and
pounces upon the little truant, turns
his head the right yvay, sets him upon
his feet, and gives him pat behind to
start him. In AN instant the preperse
little animal has whirled around and
set off again in the wrong direction.
Perhaps the herder, having caught
the fugitive, Will swing him round and
round until the lamb.is so giddy that he
falls upon his head THE moment he is
set down; but it makes no difference;
no sooner has me staggered to his feet
again than AWAY he goes once more on
his original course with the accuracy
which is as astonishing as it is provoI-

The only sure plan for the hsrder to
follow Is to tuck the tTuant under his
arm and carry him back to within see

Cartridge I'm a Tobacco Pine

A fatal accident of an extraordinary
character has occurred at Nantes, near
Paris. A hotel proprietor, who formed
one of party of sportsmen, had his
tobacco loose in pocket of his hunting
jacket, and in the same pocket had
placed his cartridges. In some way the
powder escaped from cartridge and
got mixed with the tobacco. Uncon-
scious of this, he filed his pipe and lit it.
A moment later the pipe exploded and
a fragment was blown into his eye with
such force that it pierced the brain and
killed the poor man.

'assed the spot several hundred feet.
Then he, the train crew, the passengers
amd Phllbecl5 began looking under the
cars for the mangled remains of Rieth-
mann. None thought to look on the
:owcatc-her until wavering cry from
THAI point attracted their attention.
There they found the supposed victim,
one hand firmly clasping the flagstaff
of the engine and the other hanging on
to the bicycle. He was in half dazed
condition from the shock, but close ex-
animation showed that neither he nor
his wheel was in the least damaged.
Riethmann has no idea how he landed
safely On the cowcatcher, the terrible
peril of the situation having set his
wits astray for the moment. Next day
he was around as usual. but has men
toned I'm confidence that for the fn-
ture he win always find time TO wait

Louis Riethmann, a Denver bicyclist,
is daily receiving letters asking him
what make wheel he rides. The present
unwonted accession to his daily mail
comes as the result of thrilling ex-
perience he had while out riding with
his friend Louis Philbeck, visitor
from Indianapolis The two took spin
along beyond Sand creek in the after
noon, and about five o'clock started on
the return journey. On nearing the
Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf tracks
they heard the rumble of an approach
ing train. Philbeck, who was in the
lead, saw that there was not time to
safely cross the railroad and stepped
off, at the same time giving warning
note to his friend. The latter did not
fully understand, and, throwing all his
leg power into action, made dash.

HERDINe THE LAMBS.
How II Is Done I'm the Great Ranches
of the Far West.


of the Far West.
The herding of lambs, most people
would say, should be a pleasant occu.
patton, but no occupation is more ex-
asperating than this ancient and
pastoral and poetical one. Rearing
few lambs is amusing enough, but
when it comes to herding them in great
numbers, as in western sheep.ranches,
then woe begins for man.
At the proper season the focks are
divided up into little punches of 80 or so,
in order that the newborn lamb and
his mother may "get acquainted" In
a big flock, the mother is almost sure to
lose her lamb. As for the lamb himself
it Is usually a he-for the first three
or four days of his existence, he is not
only unable to distinguish his mother
from any other sheep, but he cannot
distinguish her from anything else, and
will chase a man or a cow or a coyote
with equal impartiality and enthusi-
asm.
The little punches of sheep and lambs
are sent out to feed, each in charge of n
herier-extra hands being hired for
the occasion-whose business is to keep
the lambs from. straying away and mix
ing theselves up with the other punches
(which they will certainly do if they
can.
The herder will be watching his hit
tie flock, and perhaps smiling at the an
ties of one of the lambs-who,
having found a most desirable ant
hill, has assembled to. its loftiest
summit, and is there jumping up
and down, stiff-legged and switch
ing his tail, as If in the happy
conviction that he has discovered the
very highest peak in the world-when
there comes light puff of wind, bring
ing with it the bleat of some old eve
half mile off. In an instant away goes
the lamb to see if that were not his
mother calling-Eery likely he tumbles
over his mother in the first three steps
and away goes the herder in pursuit.
But the lamb, for all that he may be
only "a hours old, easily outruns the
