for light or for cheap harness are made

best of leather is used for the reins,
even in cheap harness. There can be OBJ

for reins strips from seven to nine feet

Boston hand hold, is commonly used for
track driving. The single loop is the
one used by most drivers on the road.
There are patent hand holds made of

seen ON reins, used AS hand holds, are
made in pairs, one hutton of each pair

der. The government is very specific in

fired under service conditions in the gun
for which it is intended powder must
give to the projectile muzzle velocity
of at least a certain number of feet per
second without producing a pressure of
more than a certain number of tons to
the square inch. For modern guns the
velocity required varies from 1000 to
2, 800 feet in second, and the pressure
is not allowed TO exceed l6 tons to the
square inch. In some OF our guns of the
present day the amount of energy stored
up in the powder charge is so tremen-

limit OF energy upon the projectile can
not be estimated, 81 vast are the posi-
bilities

fifty pounds of powder in these guns
impart to an l, 100 pound shot Il velocity

THSNAMING OF JOHN BULL.
DR.. Arbuthnot Wa. the Man Who
Thus Dubbed Great Britain.

DIR. John Arbuthnot. one of the many
royal physicians to whom the Scotch
city of Aberdeen has given birth. was
the author of John Bulls being. AL
most forgotten now by all but the
erudite, who remember him as the init.
mate of Pope and Swift. Arbuthnot
christened the British eation in bulk as
John Bull in the political strife Incl
dental to the dismissal of the Wing
ministry of I7I0, when the able and
avaricious Marlborough saw the begin
ming of the decline of his bril- liant for
tunes.
1.-The History of John Bull was
satire ON the political events preceding
the treaty of Utrecht in l7l3. written
by hrbuthnot In 1904 he had been ere
ated physician extraordinary to thu
queen in recognition of mis- services ii

come the queens medical attendant. q
position of no mean importance at q
time when so much depended on the
succession to the crown, and he was
closely in touch with court life.
For the better understanding of the
following history the reader ought tc
know that Bull in the main was al
honest, plain dealing fellow. cholerio
bold and of vsry inconstant temper
He dreaded not old Lewis, either al
baoksword, single falohion or cudgel
play, but then he was very apt to quar-
rel with his best friends, especially ii
they pretended to govern him. If you
hattered him, you might lead him like
a child. Johns temper depended very
much ON the air; his spirits rose and fell
with his weather glass.
John was quick and understood his
business very we'll, but no man alive
was more careless in looking into his
accounts or more cheated by partners. "

SEEING tn. sights.

Even IN these days of liberal educa-

how confused are the ideas shut up in
their heads. Illustrative Of this is the
naive blunder which Edmondo de
Amicis recounts in his story of voy-
age from Genoa to Buenos Ayres:
The captain of the steamer which
numbered the charming young blum
ierer among its passengers met her one
morning and said:
''Signuriua, we cross the tropic of

"Oh indeed r. she cried, with en-

Shoots a Buck.

Mrs. G. Van Hoorebeke has the dis
tinguished honor of having shot good
sized buck deer few days ago.
While the party Of which Mr.. and
Mrs. Van Hoorebeke were the chaper.
ones were riding along quietly one after
noon Mr.. Van Hooerbeke espied two
deer. He took shot at one of them
and brought it down and the other buck
becoming scared started to run, and. be-
ing somewhat confused, it ran directly
in the direction of the party.
When at point about fifty yards
away Mrs. Van Hoorebeke took good
aim and broke the back of the beck. 1t
was conceded by all the party that the
shot was splendid one and that Mrs.
Van Hoorebeke was deserving Of hunts
mans belt.
Unlike many of the announced shots
especially the recent killing Of bear, by
lady at Glenwood Springs, where the
bear was driven up by party OF hunters
to be murdered, this deer was shot ir
true sportsman's style and Mrs. Var
Hoorebeke should be and is quite prouc

There were five separate scores. In one

The barrel OF the gun is hand made

Mr.. Roberts says that he will now
camp on the trail OF n. c. Ramsey, who

he thinks he will now be able to nip Mr.

Alderman Wharton 3fakes For

Assistant District Attorney, Guy V.
Sternberg this afternoon file d complaints
against Alderman A. 8. Mckinney
charging him with bribery on two counts
and also the same charges were pre-
ferred against W. F. McCue, contracting
agent of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company.
The charges against these two parties
are attempt to bribe with money and
with promises Of position. They are
the outgrowth OF the sensational charg-
es preferred by Messrs. Barton, Camp
bell and Bucklin, from overbearing a
conversation being held in the home Of
Wharton, on last Monday night.
The complaining witness is Alderman
Wharton, in whose house it is said that
the attempt to bribe was made. He has
made affidavit before the Office OF the
district attorney and has cited as wit
nesaes to appear A. N. Bucklin, George
r. Barton and William Campbell. lhe
preliminary trial will be held before JUS
tice Mann the warrants having been
served by Constable Welch.
With Alderman Wharton rs the COM
planning witness there will be great
deal of fun in the trial. There will be a
