whom IL was given. lie, being a needy
person. could not use, the horse as
horses should be used-couldn even
swap it for bicycle. So he had to sell IL.
Now, some time ago a man invented
way of having a lottery. lie puts
cards numbered from / to 100 into en-
velopes, and his friends drew the cards
and paid the price OF the cards i'm PEN
MES that is, the man who got card No.
10 paid 10 cents for It, he who got card
No. 100 paid 81; and when the lottery
was drawn the fellow who'd paid one
cent won the prize. History doesn't tell
what the prize was that time.
Now, IL is not TO be understood that
lotteries are moral or advantageous, eX-
cept 10 the fellow who gets them up.
They can't hurt his morals because he
wouldn't get them up II he had any TO
hurt; and they may help his finances.
But a lottery run on the plan deScrib-

WHERE THE RIDERS CAME FROr1.

New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma
already gathered, while those from
Indian Territory came in soon after
my arrival.
These were the men t%ho made up
the bulk af the regiment, and gave il
it's peculiar character. They came
from the Four Territories which yet
remain within the boundaries of the
United States; that is. from the lands
that have been most recently won
over to white civilization, and in
which the conditions of life are near
est those that obtained on the frontier
when there still was a frontier. They
were a splendid set of men, these
Southwesterners-tal and sinewy.
with resolute, weatherbeaten faces
and eyes that looked a man straight
in the face without finching. They
included i'm their ranks men Of every
occupation; but the three types were
those OF the cowboy. the hunter, and
the mining prospector-the man who
wandered hither and thther, killing
game for living, and spending his
life i'm quest for metal wealth.
In all the world there could be no
afforded by these grim hunters OF the
mountains. these wild rough riders of
the plains. They were accustomed
10 handling wild and savage horses;
they were accustomed To following the
chase with the rifles, both for sport and
as a means of livelihood. Varied though
their occupations had been, almost all
had, ut one time or another, herded cat
tie and hunted big game. They were
hardened To life in the open. and to
shifting for themselves under adverse
circumstances. They were used, for all
their lawless freedom To the rough dis
cipline of the roundup and the mining
company. Some of them came from the
small frontier towns: hut most We're
from the wilderness, having left their
lonely hunters cabins and shifting
cow-camps TO seek new and more stir

THE BATTLE AT OnDUR1AN.

1t has been said that the great battle
on September was wholesale
slaughter. and no battle at ALL IL is
true the Dervish loss was prodigious;
but that can not be wondered at con-
sdering the numbers of modern guns
and rifles against which they hurled
themselves: but it must be remembered
that in lighting against fanatical saw
ages there is no such thing as surren-
der: it is a case of kill or die. The
comparatively small loss sustained by
the Sirdar's force reflects the greater
credit on his admirable conduct of the
campaign.
Any one who has not served in the
Sudan can not conceive the state of de-
vastation and misery TO which that un-
fortunate country has been brought
under Dervish rule Miles and miles of
formerly richly cultivated country lies
waste. villages are deserted. the popu-
lation has disappeared. Thousands OF
women are without homes or families.
Years must elapse before the sudan
can recover from the results of its
Abandonment To Dcrvish tyranny; but
IL is to be hoped and may be confident
~ expected. that in course of time, un-
der lust and upright government, the
sudan may be restored to prosperity.
and the great battle of September will
be remembered as having estab-
lished peace, without prosperity,
would have been impossible; and from
which thousands OF misguided and
wretched people will reap the benefits
of civilization.
Lastly, let us trust that the Govern
ment Of the Sudan may be for many
years under British direction. FOR that
is a guarantee OF justice; Arab Sheikhs
are unanimous I'm attributing the re-
beUion which assumed a religious form,
to tho oppression OF succession OF
Egyptian governors. whose object dur
ing their tenure of office was merely
cNtortion: but with the feeling OF right
and Justice which would be guaranteed
by thC greatest Mohammedan power I'm

rules the greatest number OF Moham-
medare. future of peace and pros
pcrity Is assured. -Scrbner's
