and unfriendly. He reared, stamped,
creeping things before his vision.
At last Boss went mad and bel
lowed through the night like an en-
ragged demon. He chased everything in
sight, and viciously dashed him
self against the forest trees. The
mere tramp of foot angered
him. The points of the horns
were cruelty pressing against his
helpless eyes, back in their sockets, and
every jar upon the ground tortured his
brain and enruged him. BOSS" had
scattered the mob Of his Illuminating
mates and had so terrorized the few
people about that fences did not give
n sense of security. Women and chill
dren lived in mortal dread of the un-
fortunate beast.
At length his maddened roar was
heard no more. About a month after
that the out-boundary rider went out
with dogs and n Winchester rifle to end
the suffering of "Sheephead Boss"
After searching for two days the bull
lock was found. BOSS" was dead. lie
was lying uGler clump of acacia, less
sweet than their blossoms. He had evil
IDENTIFY been dead for 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 nature
directed their fatal tips, and, unless
sent to the Royal College of Veterinary
Surgeons, England, the preserved head
still hangs upon the door of the OAR
ling out station, where BOSS" lived and
died.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Pr.fe..,onaI Men in France.

In France there are from Il, 900 to 49,

Paris and about 10000 in the provinces.
OF this number five or six only make in
comes of from $4,000 to $4,000 year;
10 to Is make from $4,000 to $780, 900 n
year; 100 make, say, $4,000; 300 make
from 5000 to SIS 900; 500 make from ST.
500 to $1,000, while 200 earn less than
81, 800 year. Coming to lawyers, of
whom there are 5000 in Paris alone,
there are not 400 of them who make as
much as $4,000 a year. A couple Of
score make incomes of $4,000 year.

Ex-senator William Maxwell Evarts
celebrated his eightieth birthday ut his

Evarts is now quite feeble, and his

The new French commander in chief

Crimea, Lombardy and Mexico. He
was also at Metz in 1870, and in 1885
commanded the Tongking expedition.
This last post exempted him from hav-

The appointment of ex-King Milan

surest way to keep Natalie out of the
capital, her spendthrift husband was
invited back

This seemed to solve the question, but
there remained one more step, and this
was the training of the quick horse.
Not only must the engine and the har-
ness and the men and the horses be
ready, but the horses must be in the
harness at once-the operation must be
as nearly instantaneous as human in
genuity and brute intelligence together
could contrive. In every fire-engine
house in the United States to-day,
therefore, we may see and admire the
quick" horse, sleek-limbed, clear
eyed, with an alert, intelligent air,
standing not far from the machine Of
which he is the moving power.
The casual visitor saunters in. He
thinks the life of n fireman is quiet
and easy one, judging from the appear
ance of the quarters. All is serene.
The machines are immaculate in pol
ished brass and red paint. Some of the
men are reading, others are playing u
game of checkers.
Suddenly there is tinkling some
where, and the stroke of a gong. A
snap, u click-and through the wide
open doors the various machines fly,
one after another, until the visitor
views in establishment an empty house.
1t is like magic-a wonderful trans
formation-scene." He gazes up and
down the street, but the galloping pro-
cession has vanished as If it were u
dream.
The quick horse has done his duty,
and once more exhibited the power of
organization and training. Within the
time required by the firemen of the old
en- time to throw open the cngine,house
doors, the complicated machines of to-
day are throwing water on, the flames,
and the brave fremen, having scaled the
building with the agility of acrobats,
are dealing well-considered blows
against the fire foe.
In almost every city there is prac-
tice-drill at least once day in the en-
gine-houses, and the visitor may have
an opportunity of inspecting the admir-
able development of the American fire
system and the fine horses so splendidly
trained. And he may also have an OPP
portunity at the same time of lament
ing that other branches of our public
service are not conducted with equal
efficiency.

STEERS STRANGE DEATH.
His Horns Grew Through His Eye
and Killed Him.

His Horns Grew Through His Eyes
and Killed Him.
A squatter in the backwoods of New
South Wales had a young steer with
horns so perfectly turned that they
formed two artistic loops at the side of
his head. One day BOSS" strayed with
mob of store cattle into piece Of
wild country infested only by kanga-
roos and the out-station boundary rid
ers' families.
These cattle are rounded up and 9th
erwise handled but once year. Before
this annual yarding took place BOSS"
had become n fractions terror to every
animal and man in that range. He had
terrifledand scattered the herd that were
once his mates; he had charged madly
every kind of person who was wont to
pat him. Because his horns curled like
those of sheep he was called "Sheep
Head" His mild, tractable nature add
ed to this dclusion of likening him to
n lamb. Six months after his entrance
upon the range he began to act strange
ly. A wild look shot out of his eye I'M
der the points of the ingrowing horns,
whose shadow fell heavier and heavier
upon the retina. He constantly shook
his head, as il trying to rid himself of
some annoyance. Then BOSS" would
stand and stare at the points which were
pressing the pupils nearly up against
the sockets. lie became more irritable

THE BEAR ESCAPED.
Funny Incident Reported from a
Maine Lumber Camp.

The cook at lumber camp near Great
Fond, Me-, discovered n bear one after
noon last month in the act of jumming
his head into the top of the uncovered
bean pot in quest of baked beans. When
the bear heard the cooks steps he lift
ed his head, and by so doing brought
the wire bail of the pot across the back
of his neck. The cook yelled, and the
bear, tottering under the weight of
nearly barrel Of baked beans suspend
ed from his neck, retreated up the
woods road in the direction of the back
lot. Though the bear could make good
cradle difficulty in finding his way, be-
cause the bean pot INSTRUCTED his
vision. IL he held his head high enough
to keep the pot from dragging it was
in front Of his eyes, and il he allowed the
pot to drag his progress was SO slow
that the cook was liable to overtake
him.
The cook had managed to discharge
all the cartridges in repeating rifle
without effect and the bear managed to
keep in the road for half mile, when
the couple met the leading bark team
coming out of the wods on the last turn.
Nobody has yet been able to train n
horse so it will not be scared by bear,
and here was n big bear ornamented as
to his neck with II huge bean pot, and
behind the bear was bare-headed and
frantic cook yelling as loud as his lungs
would allow. The front horses reared
twice and turned sharp to the off side of
the road, splitting two and half cords
of bark across the sled track. While
the teamster was trying to untangle
his horses the second load came down
the hill. followed in quick succession
by a third and fourth. Every team act
ed as badly as ii could, and while the
cook was pleading for somebody to help
him kill the bear, and the teamsters
were swearing about their horses, the
bear got away, carrying the pot of
beans along.-Chicago Chronicle.

"Why didn't you write to us?"
"We did several times; but, you see,

before father died, when he made her
promise to come to you. and she made

him, we should never have found out

happiness which his grandchildren
had brought home to him at eventide.

FEW CATTLE IN MEXICO.
The Tremendous Demand for That
COuntry's Reef Limits the
Home supply.

The astonishing announcement is now
made that Mexico is almost without
cattle. This surprising state of affairs
is due to the tremendous demand for
Mexican beef that began almost cx-
actly two years ago and has resulted
in cutting down to very small numbers
the seemingly incxhaustible herds OF
northern Mexico.
The states of Chihuahua and Sonora
alone have been shipping to Cuba from
5000 to 6,000 cattle a month. That is
pockets of the Mexican stockmen with
gold. 1t is slaughter, indeed, when one
stops to consider that Mexico, which so
cruelty felt the iron hand of Spain
centuries ago, should in these days fur
nish food in vast quantities for the en-
emics of the descendants of Cortez.
During the last 12 months, also, the
movement of live stock from Mexico to
the United States has become unusual.
The demand has gone on undated and
still exists. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that the Mexican cattlemen have re-
allied handsomely from this product
of their ranches; in fact, a majority of
them have practically exhausted their
herds
The greater portion of Mexican live
stock bound for the United States passes
through FL Paso, Tex, and Nogales,
y. T., to the western markets, where
the packing houses are located. Kansas
City taking n greater number than any
other place. Even in California there
Is demand for Mexican beef, because
of the fact that ranchmen there fastened
to dispose of their herds in eastern
markets, thereby diminishing the sup
ply for home consumption.
The extent Of the exports can best
best be appreciated when the figures
are considered. During the last quar-
ter of 1897 the total value of cattle
that came into the United States was
S222, 500, and this, too, regardless Of the
fact that the duty upon cattle imported
from Mexico is about three dollars per
head. All these cattle are of low grade
md the beef they make is far from
being equal to the American product.
The result, which might have been
expected, is that in Mexico the price
of beef has risen to unheard-of figures,
and the Mexicans are likely to be in the
position of the miner who sold the only
tent in the camp for big price, for
getting that after he parted from It
he would have to sleep out Of DOORS

GETTING TO A FIRE.
The Splendid Horses of the Anne rican
Fire Departments.

The Splendid Horses of the American
Fire Departments.
+. S. Dellenbaugh writes an article
for st. Nicholas on The Quick Horse"
devoted to the training of horses for the
American fire departments. Mr.. Dellen-
baugh says: When fire breaks out in
America, it is necessary to reach it at
once. The telegraph was'brought into
service in sending the alarm. In
Munich some years ago the method in
vogue was to hang out n red flag by day
and a red lantern by night from the top
of one of the Frauenkirche towers, on
the side in the direction of the fire; but
in America such n system would have
resulted in the destruction of the whole
town. The telegraph is the only thing
for us.
But it is not enough TO know imme-
diately the exact location OF fire; it
Is also necessary to reach it immediate
ly. The steam fire-engine was splen-
did machine, with steam always up and
everything in readiness for instant de-
parture, but how to secure this instant
departure was question. Horses were
kept standing in their stalls with the
harness on, but this was not quick
enough. Each seconds delay meant
loss of life or possibly millions of prop
erty destroyed. So the first swinging
harness was invented; harness con-
trived in such n way that, while always
attached to the engine or other appara-
tus, it could be made to drop instantly
on the horses back and fasten there.

trembling voice.
II am Daniel Hunters son Daniel, and
you are my grandfather" replied the
boy, as he guided the tottering steps of
the old man into the house.
That afternoon when the daily stage
coach reached the village of NJ, five
miles distant from the Hunter farm
house, and drew up at little hotel, a
youth of 16 or Whereabouts and a girl
apparently some IL years of age had
alighted and entered the house. They
had been shown to the warm and cozy
parlor, where a few minutes later the
landlord had followed in answer to a
request from the bright-faced, manly
boy for an interview with him. AS he
entered the room the boy arose and ad-
dressed him.
Can you tell me if man by the
name of Hunter lives in this town."
was his question.
Certainly he does, way back over the

How can we get there-will the
coach take us?" inquired the boy.

hour or so, if that will answer" he
returned, looking curiously at the
couple.
Every well; that will be soon
enough" said the lad. ~
AS the landlord left the room young
Daniel Hunter turned to his sister and
said:
"Cheer up, Josephine, we shall soon
be at home! Won't it seem fine to
have n real home once more and to live
in this good old town? / was almost
afraid to ask if Elias Hunter lived here,
for l feared there might be some mis-
take after all"
Two hours later they had been left
at their grandfather's door to find the
house apparently deserted, but as locks
or bars were little neededwhere there
was nothing to modest or make afraid,
they had only to walk in and take pos
session.
Old Nan stood patiently waiting for
fully Is minutes before the door was
again opened and her master and
young Daniel came out for her.
''Your father use ter drive Nan,
Dan'l!" said his grandfather. ''She was
only five years old when he left us;
she is 30 years old now; too old to be

When the late chores were all "done
up" and they had returned to the house
