Remarkable Conduetofa Colt.

A correspondent tells a a curious case
of Intervention by colt which saved her
owner from serious injury at Quaker Hill,
says the New London Telegraph. Sylves-
ter Jerome is the proud owner Of the ami
NAL. He had gone to the pasture a few
days ago to bring home a calf. He sue
ceeded in getting a rope around the ami
mails neck and was about 10 lead il away
when the creature rebelled and set up a
lusty cry for help. The mother OF the calf
and the rest of the stock in the pasture,
including two bulls, one of them six years
old, heard the cry and from the distant
part of the field where they were feeding,
rushed madly to the rescue An angry
bull with head lowered, tongue out and
fire in his eyes, is not a pleasant object TO
contemplate, and Mr.. jerome decided that
he would have to let the calf 90, or what,
perhaps, was better, run away and live TO
fight another day" At that moment
Kitty, the colt. in another field, hearing
the commotion. seemed to take in the sit
nation al once and with head up and heels
flying she came, and, wheeling suddenly,
dashed in between her owner and the in
iuriated cattle and then kicking, biting
and striking, she drove them all back.
One of the bulls was determined 10 stand
his ground, but the plucky colt kicked and
bit him until he retired. She followed the
bull till he was at the farther end of the
field and then trotted back and stood by
Mr.. Jerome until the calf was out of the
lot and the gate shut.

a Great Year for the Farmers.
From the Burlington News


This is a great year for farmers. They
will receive the largest cash returns for the
crops this year that they have ever received
in the history of the Republic. Not only
is the wheat crop quite up to the full stand
ard, aggregating probably 100000, 900
bushels, but the rye, oats, barley and hay
crops are large, and an immense corn
crop is almost entirely assured. In add
tion 10 the grain crops of the country, the
cotton crop promises TO be the largest ever
produced and will probably aggregate over
1900, 900 bales, with a steady market and
reasonable assurance that it will be main
tanned. Thus taking the agricultural inter
ests of the entire country, the cash returns
10 the farmers will be much the largest ever
received for their labor.

Announcement was made in Paris last
night that the treaty of peace between
Turkey and Greece would be signed to-
morrow, and that the evacuation of Thes-
sally by the Turkish troops will begin upon
the payment of the first q, 100000 of the
agreed indemnity.
Probably the largest and finest turquoise
ever taken from American soil has been
received at Santa Fe from southern New
Mexico. 1t weighs about 10 carats and
it is estimated that it will weigh fully IS
carats when cut and polished, 1t has the
best color known, being delicate sky blue.
This with a number of smaller stones run
ming from 40 to 10 caTats was taken from
a newly discovered mine, the location OF
which is in Lincoln county. The large
stone is estimated TO be worth $4,000.

Matters are in trim for very pretty bit
of strategy, with the conquest of India as
the objective point, if Gar Nicholas
wishes-and the English papers are appre-
hensiye that he does. They suspect that,
despite his assurances of good faith, the
Amer of Afghanistan is back OF the tribes
neR in their rebellious incursion into Brit
ish territory, and that back of the Amer
stands the Car, with the Sultan as a side
partner weak in physical force, perhaps,
but terribly strong in influence as the
Commander of the Faithful. Let him
summon Nictoria's Mohammedan subjects,
estimated at $4,000, 600, most of them in
India, TO revolt against her government;
let the Gar march his troops through
Afghanistan, which will not oppose him,
and through the Khyber Pass, which the
Afridis have cleared, and Brittanhia's hold
on her most cherished possession would
become very pIecarious indeed. People in
this country do not think such a startling
combination of events is possible, but peO-
pie in England are very much afraid that
it is not only possible, but probable; and
1t certainly seems that, if Russia wants
India, as she is credited with having want
ed it for generations, she could have no
better chance TO take il than now, when
the way is cleared for her and England is
without an ally TO help defend it.-Phild-
delphid Ledger.

1t seems certain now that cars will be
running on the Trans-Asian route, across
Siberia TO the Pacific, within two years.
The work is being pushed with wonderful
energy. More than half-as far as Irk-
utsk-will be completed by the end of the
present year. Lake Baikal will, for the
present, be ferried in the summer, and
tracks will be laid across the ice in the
winter; the road will subsequently be built
around its lower end. The Amoor section
is still problem, owing to the periodical
overflow of the valley by the river, and the
shorter cut to Vladiyostok by the new
Msnchurian route will probably be finished
first. The work was begun in 1891; in
1900 the line will be open from the Ural
mountains to the Pacific. Its cost is esti-
mated at 1921, 900, 900.

The Amazing speed OF the BIcycIist.
From the Springfield Republican

The amazing speed of which the bicycle
is capable is shown less by its performances
at short distances, in which it has not vet
surpassed the running horse, than by the
astonishing loDg-distsnce records that are
now being made, which shows an average
speed hardly slower than the mile records.
1t is only a few years since it was being
debated rather skepticslly whether a bi-
cyclist would ever ride mile in two min
utes, and many hold that while quarter
mile might be ridden at that pace, human
endurance could not hold out for the full
distance of mile. Yet the other day a
rider in England rode 100 miles in only six
minutes more than POO minutes. The
curious may figure out how many horses
would be killed in trying to accomplish
the feat on horseback.
