enough from his congressional salary
to keep him in reasonable comfort the
rest of his life. He has good ranch
down at Medicine Lodge, which be
"took up" as government land in early
times, q bunch of 400 or 500 cattle, and
various investments that cause him to
be rated at $50. 600 by the commercial
agencies. For eight years he received
salary and allowances amounting to
over $500, or q total of $50, 900. in
payment for his services as states
man. He has lived in a frugal way upon
his mileage, his postage and private
secretary account, and has had little
income from his ranch.

CAVALRY HORSES.
How They Are Trained In England
Not to Fear Fire.

In the British army, says Pearson
Magazine. the four-legged recruits ar
drawn up in ring round an instructor
who fires u pistol. Some take the hasl
and report very quietly. and these ar,
soon passed on to severer trials, while
the others have lesson after lesson un til
they are quite convinced that there il
no danger to them, and before long
you might ire seveu-pouDder within
a yard of them and they would hardly
look around. After this they are
taught to face ire-that is to say. to
.gallop fearlessly up to line or square
| of infantry, blazing away with their
rifles, and to charge batteries of quick
firing guns. OF course, only
blank cartridges are used,
and so to 3 trained horse going into
battle for the first time there is no diff
ference between the harmless thunder
of the maneuver and the death-dealing
storm which sweeps over a battle field.
The poor brute only learns what
the difference really is by bitter ex-
perience.
When smokeless powder came into
general use, it was found that in many
cases horses which would face the
smoke OF guns using black powder
without hinching f1lnched and SHE'D at
the flash and roar unaccompanied
ny sIuOho. OODGlueQbal opinion IS
somewhat divided as to the
moral effect of smokeless powder on
men and horses, but the general con-
clusion seems to be that in daylight it
is not more terrifying than black pow
der, although some hold that to see
men and horses struck down
by an invisible agency must nee
essarily be so. But it is
generally agreed that the use of
smokeless powder at night has q much
more disturbing effect than that of the
old powder. because the flashes of the
guns unobscured by smoke are great
deal more vivid. The fear thus inspir-
ed can be overcome by
training; but there is another
fear which must, in the
nature of the case, be felt for the first
time on the battle field, and that is the
often uncomfortable terror produced
both in men and horses by the whistl-
ing of bullets and the screaming and
banging of shells. Some authorities
have, indeed. said that since
the Introduction of smoke:
less powder and the great Increase in
the rang e aud accuracy of weapons it
would be impossible to keep cavalry in
hand under the fire of modern artil-
lery, but this Is probably an exaggera-
ton.
