CROSS IN FRONT or ENGINES.


"One OF the oldest traits of animal
nature" said an old-time Illinois Cen
trdl engineer 60 an Inter Ocean re-
porter. is the desire OF every living
thing TO cross in front OF the locomo-
tive. AT first 1t filed me with wonder.
and used to lie awake nights trying
20 explain 1t. Now it's grown to be an
old story with me.
What goes In front Of the engine {?
Why, everything. Let me see. I've
seen snakes-and I'm sober man, mind
you-stick up their lheads to see what
was making the rumble along the right
of way, and then deliberately start TO
crawl across the rails. I've seen many
quail spring up along the right OF
way, fly along just ahead OF the engine.
and then shoot across in front. Several
times when I've been running mile a
minute the engine has struck these
birds and killed them. In the old days
used to jump a deer every now and
then. and the chances were he'd cross
the track every time. Cattle invaria-
bly, do II until they have learned bet
ter; so do pigs and all the domestic
animals. Even chickens will run fiut-
tering across.
1T seems to me I've killed enough
animals to stock a farm and menag
erie"

LEGAL OPINIONS IN MEXICO.
ThsI Arc so Reliable Thai They Are Rarely Dis
pulled or DIsproyed.

United States Consul-General Bar
low, In recent report, says The
attorneys of Mexico are very skilled in
favorable opinion from any OF the law
yers here Is practical safeguard
against any subsequent attack upon
the title to property. The training to
be undergone by lawyers before they
are admitted TO the Mexican bar is
very strict. Eleven years of hard study
is generally required. and it is rare. in
deed, says Modern Mexico, that any ap-
plicant seeks admission by reason OF
'suificiency' OF legal knowledge, as is
the case in the United States, in lieu
of the customary time devoted to study,
lectures, court practice. etc.
"All opinions are given in detail with
the reasons therefor, and. formed after
"A careful study OF the documents maxi
ing up the title. It Is customary, fur
thormore. to recite each former trans
fer In conveyances. SO that any defect
is generally known, and titles which
are passed on as good are seldom dis
puted afterward.
"Of the notarial system I cannot
speak too highly. Records are preserv-
ed for hundreds of years a notary
public has to pass through regular
course OF study. Grave responsibility
rests upon him. and for all errors he liz
liable. Where ignorance OF
law is apparent. he must so explain to
persons appearing before him what
they are about To do that they evidence
entire comprehension OF and give in
telligent consent 10 all acts of which
he takes official cognizance."

in fact, there is not colored hair on
any part OF its body. says Outing.
He is not quite so stockily built as our
big horn" yet more trim and shapely.
Two of my specimens stood forty-two
inches at the shoulder. His limbs arc
not quite so heavy. and his horns Will
not average as large at the base. al
though quite as long. The horns of my
largest specimen of 1897 measured ala
inches i'm length and IL 3-S inches I'm

The flesh is the most delicious OF all
wild game. In the summer this sheep
hives chiefly on the rich, succulent
growth of the asplenium septentrionale,
which grows In the crevices OF the rock
on the sunny slopes OF this rugged
range. This beautiful animal must
endure great hardships to survive the
winters OF this icy north.

The nomination of John r. Mclean
OF Washington for governor OF Ohio
on Bryan free silver platform seems
to be viewed with mingled emotions by
the Democratic brethren both in the
Buckeye state and abroad. Mr.. Mclean
has heretofore been known as a man
ambitious of considerably more politi-
cal honors that he has ever been able
10 achieve. and IT Is far from unlikely
that his cordial acceptance at the
hands OF the Democrats OF Ohio is
sign than they don't expect to be sue
cessful in the coming campaign. Al
any rate they took pains to fortify
themselves by throwing over the Me-
Lean platform and adopting a straight
out and out endorsement or Bryan and
free silver. This leaves them in a posi-
tion to explain Mr.. McLean's defeat on
the ground that he wasn't good enough
for the platform. OF course, Mr.. Nc
Lean has the privilege OF accusing the
platform of being responsible for his
defeat IL he so chooses. It's poor rule
that doesn't work both ways.
