Of the Vandalla. He has been with the
company for two years, and was

Of cars down the "Y" just west Of

the track.
In some manner he caught his foot
IN a. switch frog. The train was slow

Blakley was on the track. With great
presence of mind he threw his body
off the rail and then tried to release
ais foot. He gave 1t several jerks, but
It seemed to become wedged In all the
lighter. AS he was standing his body
was exposed, and there was danger of
his being knocked dowr and cut In
two. Realizing that he must either be
killed or have his foot cut off, he
chose the latter, and, turning, he
threw himself on the ground again and
In another second the car wheels had
passed over his foot, cutting 1t off.
The shock rendered him unconscious
for. time, but he was soon revived
and the police wagon called.

There were 20 passengers in the car
when man wearing a fur cap and
having rather an innocent expression
OF countenance boarded the train at a
small station and appeared among us.
There were plenty of empty seats, but
he did not sit down. Instead, he walk
ed down the aisle and took a close look
in every mans face. That he was
looking for some one in particular was
evident, but he passed each one to the
very last man. who was asleep with
his chin on his breast.
Here, you--wake up!" said the man
with the fur cap, as he shook the other
by the shoulder.
"W-what you want?" stammered
the man, as he Strengthened UP.

"And l said wasn't. Who in Texas

"He had patent hay fork and he

skunk Farming Fails,

Pierre Soucci, the only man In Maine
who ever attempted skunk farming on
a large scale, offers his place, stock
and fixtures for sale at bargain, and
says he Is going to the gold fields of
Alaska, where he hopes to make mon
ey more rapidly than by skinning
skunks and trying out their oil.
Though Soucci had plenty Of minnows
and whitefish to feed to his pets, and
could catch all the rabbits he wanted
with two spools of copper wire, he
has abandoned the business and con-
fesses that skunk culture doesn't pay.
Last year he took off 200 pclts Of his
own growing and caught about 120
wild skunk All that time an average
skunk skin sold for $1.15, while good
black one was worth from $3.50 to 50,
Skunk oil was selling for 81 a gallon,
so when Soucci went into winter quar-
ters with 600 skunks in stock he felt
as if he was right in the middle of the
highway which leads to wealth.
Last winter after the ponds had
frozen so deeply as to make the fish
seek deeper water he began to give his
skunks diet Of raw rabbits. For a
few weeks they did very we'll, and then
they developed cannibalistic tastes
and started in to eat one another, un-
til half his herd had been killed and
devoured by the other half. This
spring he raised about 400 young
skunks, all Of which did we'll. He was
hoping to retrieve his i'll fortune and
get rich in few years, and he had
good grounds for his hope until he saw
the fall bulletins OF the fur trade.
Skunk skins, which have been fashion
able for ten years, are no longer in de-
mand, mink, muskrats, and offers hay
ing taken their place. The best pelts
that would bring SO each year ago are
now selling, for $1.50 each, and poor,
white marked skins are only worth the
taking off. Skunk oil has gone down
81 on the gallon, making rheumatic pa
tients feel very happy, but cutting into
the earnings Of the skunk farm. Souc-
cl could find no profit. He will wait
reasonable time for somebody to come
and buy him out, and then, il he gets
no offer, he will kill off his stock.

not particularly well liked by the ma
tive Texans, as they called themselves.
When l left Chicago for Texas l had
provided myself with q formidable
weapon in the form Of a 22-callbre re-
volver, and had no doubt that l would
be able to cope with the most blood
destination, soon began to form ac-
quaintances among the citizens of the
city in which had taken up my tenn
porary residence.
"Strolllng into the palatial saloon
known as the Glass Front one evening
soon after my arrival, met number
of cowboys and deputy sheriffs, and
the conversation drifted to the subject
of guns, as shooting weapons are call
ed in Texas. BY the way, in Texas at
the time / speak of the only persons
legally entitled to carry weapons were
Sheriffs, Marshals and their deputies,
and rangers, and every bad man who
wanted to shoot somebody would gen.
orally have influence enough to get ap-
pointed as deputy of some kind or
other. The most reputable portion of
the population was therefore debarred
from carrying weapons, and were
therefore at the mercy of any licensed
thug. AS / said before, the subject Of
conversation was guns and with con-
siderable pride | displayed my silver
mounted and ivory=handled pistol and
asked for an opinion as to its merits,
The gun was passed from hand to
hand, each grlzzled deputy looking at
it with tho greatest curiosity.

then asked.

l could defend myself and do some
little execution"
"Ill tell you what, my lad," said the
representative Of the law, "I'll stand

said /, land do not care to get in any

like that is ever going to hurt me-"
Give me back my revolver" said l,
'and will CO."
Il think I'll try 1t, anyway" said the
desperate, and, taking deliberate aim
at me, he shot me through the arm
with my own pistol. fell against the
bar, pale and terrified. Then the
whole gang began to laugh. One of
them bound up my arm with hand
kerchief, and they insisted that l
drink with them. AS soon as l could
escape from my tormentors l hastened
back to the hotel and summoned a
doctor. He pronounced my injury
only a slight flesh wound. The next
day was arrested by the deputy who
lad shot me, brought before a magls-
rate, and fined $50 and costs for car
