Col. Bobleter is one of the most pop

they see him handle the men, talking
to them, explaining duties to them.
etc. He does not use the gruff COM

When he suggests anything, the boys
assume that he wants it that way and
aim to do it in an Intelligent manner

terday- of the fve-1egged steer and dwarf
COW received by them from the Bad Lands
on consignment. The animals are both ap-
proximate.y three years old. The steer is a
light cherry color and carries his fifth leg
on his left shoulder, and it bangles when he
moves with very much the same motion as
that of a policeman's cub when unsheathed.
The leg is almost the natural size, from the
knee down, and that point is very we'll form
ed. The hoof is parted but one section is
larger than the other. and the point curves
inward At a distance this extremity of
the appendage resembles the claw Of lobster.
Some people who didn't know any better
might think that the thing was the left hind
foot of giant jack rabbit killed in grave
yard at midnight. There is no doubt of the
fact that the existence of the excrescence
serves in the nature of a mascot to the steer.
inasmuch as it is the means of preserving
him from slaughter. The animal seems to
take quiet pride in himself curiosity
and now and then slyly winks at the dwarf
cow-his companion in the same pen, together
with a calf which is almost as big as what
is probably its foster mother.
Mr. Cunningham doesn't say much on this
point, probably because he don't know Just
where to tap the truth about the matter and
realizes that he best practices morality by
silence. The COW is. a genuine Mrs. Tom
Thumb of her species. She is perfectly form
ed, black and white Of co,or. with a big
head, solid looking body, perfectly developed
short. thick. set legs and a pair Of handsome
horns. But She olooksf fuhsy, and carries
about her the same aroo maturity and self
Importance as does the dwarf in the dime
museum. -tf
1t is understood that some negotiations
are. pending. looking to the purchase of the
curious freaks fora USE at the Omaha exposi-
ton. AS the product of, the Bad Lands they
ought to be useful to a missionary as an
object-lesson to naughty boys and girls as
showing what defprmities may come to them
in the next worldbif they don't behave prop
erly in this.
