NOBlEMAN AND SMAN
The Greatest Hunting Expedition on
Record.

hecoFus
Sir George Gore, wealthy Irish
sportsman, began in 1855 hunting eX-
pedition among the Rocky mountains
which occupied two years and exceeded
anything of the kind ever seen on this
continent. The outfit consisted of sc
persons, including secretaries, stew
ard, cooks, fymakers. dog tenders, serv-
ants, train of 60 wagons and numer-
Gus saddle horses and dogs.
"Od Jim Bridger" was Sir Georges
guide and interpreter, and no man on
the frontier knew the glens and passes
of the mountains so accurately as he
did. Though illiterate and as uncon-
ventional as an Indian, Bridger was
honest, kind, generous and shrewd-
Just the man to attract the Irish sports
man.
In his "Old Santa Fe Trail" Col. In
man describes the companionship of
the two men-one a rich, educated,
whole-souIed Irish nobleman, the other
a man who from boyhood had lived on
the plains, depending on his tact and
rife for food and life.
Sir George would lie in bed until ten
o'clock in the morning: then he took
a bath, ate his breakfast and set out
generally alone for the days hunt. 1t
was not unusual for him to remain out
until ten at night, and he seldom re-
turned without meat" His dinner was
then served, to which he extended an
invitation to Bridger.
After the meal was over Sir George
was in the habit of reading from some
book and drawing out from Bridger his
ideas about the author.
The Irishman usually read from
Shakespeare, which Bridger "reckin'd
was too highfalutin" for him.
"Thet thar big Dutchman, Mr.. Full
stuff" he commented, was leetle too
fond of lager beer"
Sir George read the adventures of
Baron Munchausen' to Bridger, who re-
marked that "he be dog -goned eff he
swallowed everything that thar baron
said" He thought he was "a liar" yet
acknowledged that some of his own ad-
ventures among the Blackfeet would
be equally wonderful ''if writ down in

when a father writes that yours els the

allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine SO praised, cured loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
Orrick, Mo-, writes in these strong terms:
"Dr. Ayers Sarsapariila is the best med
icinc in the world. My daughter had
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind and was obliged
to remain in a dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM

The thousands OF testimonials to the
value OF DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat

A STEERS STRANGE DEATH.
His Horns Grew Through His Eyes and
Killed Him.

Killed Him.
A squatter in the back blocks of New
South Wales had a young steer with
horns so perfectly turned that they
formed two artistic loops at the sides
of his head. One day BOSS" straved
with mob of store cattle into piece
of wild country infested only by kan
garoos and the out-station boundary
riders families.
These cattle are rounded up and
otherwise handled but once a year.
Before this annual yarding took place
Boss" had become fractions terror
to every animal and man in that range.
He had terrified and scattered the
herd that was once his mates; he had
charged madly every kind person who
was wont to pat him. Because his
horns curlcd like those of sheep he
was called "Sheep Head" His mild,
tractable nature added to this delusion
of likening him to a lamb. Six months
after his entrance upon the range he
began to act strangely. A wild look
shot out of his eye under the points of
the ingrowing horns, whose shadow
fell heavier and heavier upon the re-
tina. He constantly shook his head. as
if trying to rid himself of some annoy
ance. Then Boss" would stand and
stare at the points which were pressing
the pupils nearly up against the sock
cts. He became more irrita bic and un-
friendly. He roared, stamped, shook
his crazed head and stared at the creep
ing things before his vision.
La t.RpcS5 want mad and he'll
lowed through the night like an en-
ragged demon. He chased everything
in sight and viciously dashed himself
against the forest trees. The mere
tramp of a foot angered him. The
points of the horns were cruelty press
ing his helpless eyes back in their sock
cts, and every jar upon the ground
tortured his brain and enraged him.
BOSS" had scattered the mob of his
ruminating mates and had SO TERROR
lied the few people about that fences
did not give sense of security. Women
and children lived in mortal dread of
the unfortunate beast.
At length his maddened roar was
heard no more. About a month after
that the out-boundary rider went out
with dogs and Winchester rifle to end
the suffering of ''Sheep Head Boss. y
After searching for two days the bull
lock was found. BOSS" was dead. He
was lying under a clump of acacia, less
sweet than their blossoms. He had
evidently been dead for a week or more
and had been blind for months. The
horns had grown into the eyes and al
most touched the bone of the skull be-
hind. The head of the poor beast was
as strange an object as ever was seen.
The horns of BOSS" were never
curved by any art. They grew as ma
ture directed their fatal tips, and, un-
less sent to the Royal College of Veteri-
nary Surgeons, England. the preserved
head still hangs upon the door of the
