during the Zulu war, says Golfers
Weekly, after an engagement in which
the British troops were defeated by
Cetewoyo's black warriors, and were
compelled TO ny for their lives, an Eng
lish cavalryman, whose scraggy little
pony limped from an assegai slash, de-
tached himself from the retreat and
galloped back upon the charging
lulus. A glance over his shoulder had
shown him a dismounted comrade,
stumbling painfully along. trying TO
jam some cartridges into his clogged re-
yolvor. When the troopers pony
trotted up the Zulus were almost upon

discarded their spears and were mis-
handling captured carbines. Now. in a

MAD MoNARcH.s FREAK.

King of Bavaria Found Pleasure In
Frightening Horses to Death.
"At the time the malady Of Ludwig
H., the mad king of Bavaria. was At
its worst, he gave orders that thirty
of his finest horses should be put in
the best condition possible for race" !"
writes Prof. j. H. Gore in the Ladies'
Home Journal. When the report came
that no further Improvement could be
made, he had them brought into an
open field where every conceivable
form of noise-making device had been
stationed The horses were tied to
posts and the king from an elevated
stand gave the signal that started the
flare of trumpets, the booming of can
non, the firing of bombs and other out
landish noises. The horses reared,
plunged, struggled to get free and. fin-
ally, breaking loose, started in the
widest gallops from this bedlam. But
toward whatever corner of the field
they fled they were stopped by noises
just as terrifying and sent to another
quarter to be frightened again and
again. When the horses became too
tired to run well the king found the
spectacle uninteresting and ordered the
orgy to cease. By this cruel freak the
royal stables lost number of their
most valuable animals"

ATTACKS ON PUERTO RICO.
The Island Has Never Been Taken
Until Now. Though Attempted
by English aad Dutch.

Formerly regarded as the key to
South America, Puerto Rico has never
been taken until now. 1t has had the
storm for ally, fever, too. Twice Eng

her off. Once they beat the Dutch.
But though the island has never been

Golfers Weekly. 1t took pirates to do
it, though. The first was choice

adventure differ, but they agree in
this: His marines were dressed in

damask, his topsails were cloths OF
gold. They were as beautifully
equipped. They carried basilisks. Gull
verins, serpentines and bombardes.

Drake appeared with them in the hnr-
Dor of San Juan. When he left, the
shop was. in ruins and his ballast was
ducatoons. Drake had Elizabeth be-
hind him. Cumberland. who followed
him there, was an equally choice but
entirely private corsair. What he did
was on his own hook. What he lacked
was the steady gale of good fortune
which his colleague enjoyed. Though
he took San Juan fever took his men

5omething, although not strictly
new, certainly worthy of notice, is
painting upon lace for decorative and
household purposes. The work is In
imitation of old Cretan laces, which
were made with colored threads, ar
ranged as patterns upon a black or
white ground. 1t is executed with
water-colors. and can be used for sofa
cushions and similar things, frills for
old-looking portiers, to give them the
air of antiquity. or for dainty bed or
couch dressing. The colors are made
fast by the use of fixative, and though
they will not stand washing they will
not spoil from atmospheric causes. To
paint: Use veloutine as fixative;
moist water-colors, with Chinese white
Of body colors, red sable brushes, and
work upon lace Of good designs. Stretch
the lace and pin 1t down to drawing
board, SO that every part of 1t is quite
secure. Select the colors to use. and
where they are applied, and over every
place that is to be painted lay a wash
of Chinese white and veloutine, pass
that over parts already sized with the
veloutine, and then paint the lace with
bright colors in a set pattern. Metallic
colors, such as gold. silver and bronze.
can be applied in the same way to the
lace. See that the colors are thorough
ly absorbed into the lace, and remem-

HOPEFUL TIMES.

Those of us who are bimetallists
believe that, great as is our prosperi-
ty, it would still be enhanced and
made more permanent if silver we're
restored as a metal upon some fair
parity with gold. But because we
are not able to secure this result,
which we trust will be eventually
brought about, it is worse than idle
to pretend that there is not real pros
psrity in the land. 1t is here, in
Colorado, and it will grow and in
crease, and, as good citizens. ven
ture to suggest that we would be
wiser, and in the end happier, if we
went half way to meet it and devoted
ourselves to courageous attempt to
further it rather than spend our time
in croaking or sulking because an
economic policy we favor does not
meet-the approval of the majority of
our fellow citizens. These are hope
full times, and if we in Colorado will
drop our bitterness of feeling and
join in the procession we will have
our full share Of prosperity meted
out to us. Senator E. o. Wolcott, in

Spaniards with their Mausers was in
very fact the heart and center Of that
days work; and as for that, the hero
ism of our men appears none the less
in the light OF the heroism Of theiI
antagonists.
These figures of Spaniards in the
shallow ditch were really very un-
couth, writes Joseph Edgar Chamber
lin, in Scribner's. Their jackets of
poor, thin blue cotton were merely
loose tunics, too short and coarse TO
have any dignity, snd the trousers were
baggy and ill-fitting. On their heads
as long as they wore them, the men
had great straw hats, almost black
with use with brims turned up behind
and down before. Sometimes the hat
came off, and with my glass I watched
along the trench the shaggy black
heads of Castilian youths-which
