tween the Mexico bronco and horses
bred in the Indian Territory and ada
cent regions. They are Of about the
size of the regular cavalry horse, but
will endure more fatigue. Most of tlS
animals when purchased had never
been broken to the saddle, and the
Eastern recruits at the camp at San
Antonio, Texas, wore given an exhibit
tion of Western horsemanship which
opened the eyes of those accustomed
to following the hounds on thoroug b.
bred jumpers. In the West, "break-
ing" horse is putting the saddle on
him once. Re is supposed to be ready
for use after that. Several of the nov
ices thought differently after the lit
tie brutes had "bucked" and thrown
them over their heads.
The drill of the volunteers includes
oil of the regular cavalry movements
and some special maneuvers. These
comprise handling the lasso, skirmish
fire with carbines while riding at full
speed, shooting from horseback objects
thrown in the air, and jumping bitches
mud other distractions. Every man
is obliged to care for.his animal, and
is responsible for it's condition. He
must feed and water it. rub it down,
handle the bedding, saddle and un-
saddle; and special instruction has
been given in. picketing them, in
bivouacking without tents, and in other
features of outdoor life. For many
weeks the troops were put through
hours of drilling and other evolutions
daily, until. now the regiment is pro-
fcient in marching, trotting and
wheeling company front, platoons,
flies of fours, etc., while each man is
able to hit Spaniard at half mile,
whether from the back of his horse, ~
ing behind it. or as dismounted

THE SONG OF THE SPANISH MAIN

Out in the south, when the day Is done,
And the gathered winds go free,
Where golden-sanded rivers run,
Fair islands fade in the setting sun,
And the great ships stagger, one by one,
Up from the windy sea.
Out in the south, when q twilight shroud /
Hangs over the oceans rim,
Sail on sail, like floating cloud,
Galleon, brlgantine, canncn-browed,
Rich from the indies homeward crowd,
Singing Spanish hymn.
Out in the south, when the sun has set,
And the lightning fiickers pale,
The cannon below their deadly threat,
Tho ships grind. all in a. crimson sweat,
And hoarse throats coll, "Haye you stricks
Across the quarter-rail.
Out In the south, in The dead of night,
When hear the thunder speak,
TITS the Englishmen in their pride and
Mad with glory and blind with fight,
Locked with the Spaniards, left and right,
Fighting them cheek to cheek.
Out in the south, when the dawn's pale
light,
Walks cold on tile beaten shore,
And the mists of the night like clouds OF
fight,
silvery Violet, binding bright,
Drift In glory from. height to height,
Where the white-tailed eagles soar;
There comes song through the salt and
spray,
Blood-kin to the oceans roar,
"All day long down Florez way -
Richard Grenville stands at bay.
Come and take him II ye mayp'
Then hush, forevermore.

An Old Mans Walking Feat.

People who were on Crockett street
yesterday may have noticed IN aged
man vending his way toward the
Postofice, stout stick being his sup
port. he was Oh odd-looking charac-
ter. White hair denoted extreme age
and his step was somewhat unsteady,
but his figure was upright with indi-
cations of visor, and, though drawn,
there was o rugged look on his face
and his eyes were lustrous. Across
the travellers shoulders were strapped
two large canvas packages which
hung in front; large water canteen
hung by straps to his back. His
name is Buckingham, shoemaker by
trade. .and he is now nearly ninety-one
years old. He came from Ell Paso to
Beaumont and walked every foot of
the way, carrying water and provi-
sions while travelling through the de-
serted country along the Mexican
border. From Mr.. Buckingham no
details of his journey could be OBJ
tained except that he left FL Paso on
February 10 OF this year, and made
the trip in easy stages, arriving at 7
o'clock yesterday morning. The dis
tance from Beaumont to Ell Paso is
917 miles. Buckingham was 112 daye
in walking the distance and covered
IN average of eight and one-ffth miles
per day of twenty-four hours, which
is pretty fair walking for man OF less
than ninety years of age. Bucking-
ham may not be aware of the fact, but
in walking from Ell Paso to Beaumont
he has established pedestrian record
for the ninety-year-old. class that has
not heretofore been equalled and
probably will never be excelled.-

The Stock Market.

New York, July 7--To-day's ad- vance in prices was probably intended as an admonition to the bear party that they were not to be allowed to have their own way in forcing down prices even in the existing dullness of speculation. To-days buying gave no indication that it grew out of an ur- gent desire for the ownership of secur- ities but seemed rather an organized effort to mark up prices, There was some covering of short contracts in- duced by the advance but nothing to show that there had been any large outstanding short interest in the mar ket. The advance in Sugar may have been due to buying by shorts to realize their profits on the adoption of the Hawaiian annexation resolution by the senate yesterday and probably the de- mand from this quarter induced some bidding up of the stock to exert pres sure on the shorts. The buying of the Vanderbilts was clearly professional manoeuvre by large bull interests. The gains in these stocks ranged from 1 to 2 points. The powerful sympathetic effect which this group always exer- ciseS on the balance of the list was shown by the general response to-day after the opening depression caused by lower prices in London When the short-lived buying in the Vanderbilts ceased the general list showed slight ly reactionary tendency, but not suffi- cient to wipe out the earlier gains. The pushing up of prices is clearly de- signed to invite outside interest in the market, but no such interest was mani fested to-day. There were special movements of note inthe Rubber stocks and of Manitoba, which is guaranteed to yield per cent. by Great Northern, sold up four points and was bid Up be- fore the close two points furthr to 151 The pending adjournment of congress and renewed reports that Spain was about to sue for peace tended to help the rise, Reports of railroad earnings were also encouraging, handsome ad- Vances being shown over the corre- spending period of last year outside the grain carrying roads, on which the traffic reached abnormal proportions last year.

but much depends upon the circum- stances and the persons involved, If an old gentleman writing to you ad- dresses you as Dear Mss Brown that is distinctly formal, while, if he says My dear Miss Brown it seems a trifle patronizing and fatherly and to that extent is more friendly. But if a young man uses dear and my dear the con- ditions seen. to be reversed"
 q don't see how"
 Then let me illustrate" he said. Suppose I should address you as My dear girl That would seem rather patronizing, would it not, as if I were to point out some little error or bit of foolishness? But if I should say dear girl how about that? Does it not mean more than the other in my case?"
 While you are about it." she sug- gested, again blushing, why might you not say Dearest girl'?"
 "The superlatlves are used so much by some Americans" he said, that they lose much of their force and often do not seem to have the strength found in lesser degrees. As love terms dear heart and sweetheart have stood the teSL Ul yttIS, etlu dily attempt to put them in the superlative, as dearest heart and sweetest heart instead of being more effective would be simply farcical and would detract from rather than add to their significance"
 But how about withdrawing the word dear entirely?" she asked, for, being a woman, it was only natural that she should wish to make a study of all the intricacies of these terms. You spoke of that, you know"
 "Certainly,' he answered, ''and can prove the truth of what I said. Again let me illustrate with you. I say to you, My dear Mamie.' It may mean much; it may mean little. It depends upon circumstances. It may seem pa- tronizing, or it may not. That also de- bends upon circumstances and the tone But we take away the word dear and then I say to you, My Mamie.' What do you say to that?"
 Why, IT guess I am," she replied l blushing a deeper red than before, "but you might have found out whether was or not without adopting such a roundabout method"
 Nevertheless, having proved his case and accomplished his purpose he pro- ceeded to take ssession.-Chicagc Post.
