CHASED BY AN OSTRICH.
Exciting Race Between Horsewoman and
Angry Bird.

The following story of thrilling es-
capade has travelled around the world
from the faraway Businesses of South
Africa:
Miss M. M. Rowles. an English girl.
riding on the veldt, in South Africa,
came upon an ostrich pen of wire fenc-
ing, WITHIN which a hen ostrich was
sitting while her mate kept guard
MISS RoWles turned her pony to flee,
put the male ostrich. infatuated at the
disturbance, dashed at the fence.
There was a crash behind us, fol-
lowed by measured beating which
almost made the ground vibrate and set
my heart humping" writes Miss
,Rowles If you have never heard the
tramp of an Infatuated ostrich no
words will describe it: the nearest APP
proach to it is the sound of the regu-
lar thud. thud of soldiers on the march.
There was no mistake, we were be-
ing pursued by furious cock ostrich
a formidable foe indeed! The pony's
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
ground, and bent forward urging him
on as [ had never done before. Nearer
and nearer came the beating, the dis
lance between us and our strange pur-
suer growing less every second.
There was shout and 1 was con-
scious that a short, heavy kerrie
whizzed past me- Presently another
time it must have interfered with the
progress Of the great bird, for I could
tell it had stopped short and l ventured
to look back.
THE Infatuated ostrich was charging
at a katflr who was coming up from the
camp in pursuit The man saw his
danger and threw kerrie after kerrie,
which passed wide of the mark. Vague
ideas flashed through my mind of going
to his help, but the pony had become
thoroughly frightened and was boiling
as hard as he could go.
There was more shouting now, and
l hoped that others had come to the
rescue, but glancing back again l saw
it was too late-ostrich and man had
met! The kaffir made a spring at the
neck of the bird but he was too slow,
and an awful kick sent the poor wretch
into the air and dropped him with a
thud upon the earth.
Before he had time to recover-if,
indeed. he ever could-the bird was
dancing upon him, and l shut my eyes
to hide the sight. BY this time several
kaffirs and Dutchman had come up
and with a long lasso they caught the
birds neck and strangled it, dragging
it off the PROSTATE kaffir at the same
time.
'I never knew how l reached home.
For days and nights that CHASTITY fight
haunted me- and / was troubled
by the thought that the man
had given his life for mine,
while I had done nothing, even
to attempt to save him. His master
was more filled with annoyance at the
loss of the ostrich than with pity for
the man who had met with so cruel a.
death.
Z II heard afterward that the unfortu-
nate kaffir had only lived till he reach
ed the farm, and then he succumbed to
his terrible. injuries. Some little time
previously he had become Christian,
and we brought away his body and
had it buried in our own garden"

many grievances, such as low p.!ces
for their crops, high taxes for their
land and competing supplies of food
from America, Russia and Hungary.
The times had been bad. Many land
owners were heavily in debt. By acting
together and carrying the middle-c.ass
farmers with them, they hoped by legis
lation to effect changes that would IA
vor their material interests.
The leaders of the movement were the
descendants of petty mobiles of the we'll
born Junker class, who had once been
the real rulers of Prussia. Inheriting
old-time ideas of privilege. it was nat
ural for them to take the view that the
government should confer upon them
special benefits at the expense of the
working and mercantile classes.
The largest landowners retained con-
troll Of the Agrarian League, but were
wise enough to populariZe the move
ment. They opened the door for the
poorest peasant proprietors and Gotta
gers to enter the league by the payment
of small fee. Over two hundred thou
sand farmers are now connected with
the league. They have fallen in behind
the big country snuires, especially in
East Prussia and South Germany.
At the outset the league conducted
an agitation against the commercial
treaties by which market for Russian
grain was opened in Germany Supze-
quently it strove to prevent the entry
OF American food supplies, especially
pork. 1t has aimed to reduce foreign
competition and to control the market
price of farm products and agricultural
labor in Germany.
In the German reichstag or parlia-
ment the agrarians have been able to
command about 100 votes. or about one
quarter of the membership. Their dep
uties belong to the conservative. CEN
tralist, imperial. liberal and other
groups, but stand together on all CUES
lions relating to farmers interests.
The agrarians have been described as
the bitter foes of America. They are
not more hostile to America than to
Russia and Hungary, which are also
competing with them for the control
of the home market. They are the enc
mics of cheap food and wish to tax it
heavily when it comes from any for
egn country. Unless all signs fail, they
are losing influence. The small farmers
are beginning to see that the large
landhoders are using them, not in me
general interests of agriculture, but to
accomplish their own selfish pur-
poses.

The inquiry in the Standard of Sun

been in procuring a sufficient supply
Of jack rabbits. The mortality among
these eccentric beasts at this time of
year is something frightful. Out of
about a hundred and thirty received
thus far not more than 40 remain, and
it seems practically impossible to get
more from Idaho just at present. The
management waited a. long as they
dared for Idaho shipments, and none
being forthcoming have wired an or
der for 100 to California. AS they will
be doing well to get 40 effective jacks
out of that number. with the nice lit
tie express rate of $1150 per 100, the

Past seasons have demonstrated the
same difficulty in getting jacks in the
spring. About the middle of February
is the beginning of their running sea-
son, and from then till after the first
crop of alfalfa is cut about the end
of June, it is almost impossible to
catch them by any method that has
heretofore been used The management
had a contract with w. j. Hall of Po-
catello to furnish them 600 jacks by

CURED at the time when Missouri river
traffic was lessening into the past and
during the declining days of the buff
falo in the Northwest The plot is laid
up somewhere in Northern Montana,
and the hero was character bearing
the name of O'Brien Osborne. He drift
ed into camp, but 10 one ventured to
ask him any questions concerning his
past. He proved to he a good fellow
and they dubbed him Briny. He sill
enced many brave Indian and figured
as the boss cowboy of the bunch. 1t
appears from the story that he had
made a successful trade with some Pie
gans and was en- routa to settlement
to exchange his furs for cash. He &C
cepted the hospitality of a couple Of
river bottom traders and remained with
them over night. On the following
morning one of the traders discovered
that the cabin was surrounded by bad
Indians, and Briny being the hero from
the start, fixed things for the traders
by disposing of the most troublesome
members of the red tionds, and then he
was ace high in the entire Northwest.
In time Briny found himself surround
ed by striking evidences of civilization,
and being a man with ordinary horse
sense, he concluded to settle down and
grow up with Choteau county.
He located a ranch on the Marias
river and put into practice some cher
ished theories he had about raising
crops on the benchlands without irriga-
ton. Like many another Old-timer, he
had married an Indian woman, and
with their child of six or seven years,
they lived frugally and for time in
peace. Two or three miles up the river
another former trader had located, who
was also married to an Indian woman,
and Brings wife often went up there
to stay day or two with her friend,
who was of the same tribe as herself.
Late in the fall a big bull outfit, or
freight trains drawn by oxen, came to
the river to winter, and the owner of
it, a man named Tricket. made arrange
ments with Brings neghbor to board
himself and his men. Tricket was a
fine looking man and evidently well off,
and seeing Brings wife at the ranch
often. he finally persuaded her to quit
her husband and live with him. When
Briny heard that his wife had deserted
few days, he quietly saddled lis horse
and went up to where she was STOPPING.
His little son was playing out in the
yard with some other children. and
calling the child to him he lifted him
up on to the saddle and returned to his
home.
