Shooting wild horses for A living
seems odd employment, especially for
woman. but there is a woman in M.
vada who earns her livelihood I'm iux
that way. She Is n Californian. 100
ana young woman. only 2s years old
Her name is Maud whiteman. untn
she went to Nevada six years ago her
home was on ranch some few miles
from Fresno. Being of a sturdy ana
ventureaome disposition. Maud early
learned TO manage horses and 10 feci
at home in the wilds, so 1t happenat
that when her father by some mis-
chance was forced to part with MS
homo In California his daughter was
fitted to bc his helper in the rude re.
sion selected by him for further
struggle with fate. The fathur. whose
namo Is Wilmnn. is an old soidier
having served his country in both ,he
Mexican and civil wars. He is a tall
hne-iooking man OF splendid physique
He is. however. no longer young. and
the sixty-five years that have passea
over him have limited his opportnnl-
ties for work, so he decided to KIN
wild horses for their hides. Neither
his age nor his lack of capltnl hin
dered effort in that direction. while
prices for hides were fairly good. and
Wild mustangs were plentiful. From
the first Maud was an acuye partner
In this business. She Is a bold rider
and fine shot and can bring down
horse at distance that would win
sportsman's admiration. When on
gagged in this pursuit she dresses like

flannel shirt and n mans soft hat.
The method OF killing is ingenious

daughter set out for the task. They

herd OF their own horses TO the spring.
These serve as a decoy. Gradually
wild horses come up, mingllng with
tho rest When suspicion has been
quiet the man steals near, wounding.
with view to disabling. the leader Of
the herd. All others of the wild band
Immediately rush away. but soon they
return in quest OF their leader. Now
is the opportunity. The mounted rid
ers rush from hiding. shoot as many
as possible. and follow the fleeing vic

Goldilocks and were walking back
of Moss valley and happened to step
together. upon the Enchanted Flying
Phantom Field. In a moment we were
flying through the air. and in less time
than you can count six plainly we were
once more in Fairyland, under Tam
alpais mountain.
And then what do you think we
saw?
Santa Claus picking plum puddings
from treesi Real plum puddings from
real trees
This was in the plum pudding or
chard which the fairies planted, long
ago, for Santa Claus He was whist
ling and chuckling and laughing, "Hol
no! hol" and sometimes slyly winking
one eye as he viewed the many grow
ing heaps of puddings as he laid them
under the trees, and thought what jol-
lity there would be Christmas day
when they were eaten-and what tum-
myaches afterwards!
Goldilocks thought the plum pud-
ding orchard wonderful. 1t was wa
rounded by hedges upon which candies
and nuts and oranges were growing.
These hedges were made all of Christ
mas trees, the burning little candles
on which furnish Santa Claus light at
night to work by. He will have only
the candles to work by because they
seem to bring him nearer to his mil
lions of dear children, and-a secret
Santa Claus is in as much of a hurry
for Christmas eve as you are.
The plum pudding orchard had hun
dreds and thousands of trees in 1t. The
way the trees came to bear plum pud-
dings was this: They were grated.
The bread-fruit trees furnished gratis
for plum pudding dough, and gratis
from rasin grape vines, citron trees
and current bushes supplied other
"fxings." The birds brought oak and
holly leaves and Christmas berries for
decorations. The sun Drowned the
puddings just right and the leaves on
the plum pudding trees turned snowy
white lust in time to furnish plum pud-
ding bags-one for every pudding and
not one to spare. The stems grew into
pudding bag strings. The trees bent
low with their weight OF puddings. The
air smelled as sweet as a thousand
Christmas dinners all in onel
When Santa Claus had pulled all the
puddings from the trees new ones

by some disconsolate widower and his
friends in some village known to con-
tain a young widow. and the forcible
abduction Of the lady in question and

and seized and carried OF, after some
what of a battle, young lady. 1t SC
happened, however, that they had mis-
taken the house, and, unfortunately,
got hold of the wrong lady. Early the
next morning an indignant posse came
In pursuit. but the men who had com
mitted the dastardly deed succeeded In
eiuding them. The young lady, how

of the widower and its contents had
been completely demolished she was

usr coola... sar.a ,1s.

According to her story OF it. there
was one woman survivor aboard the
wrecked Scotsman who retained her
presence Of mind throughout the dread
full ordeal. She was one OF thirteen
women who was let down by ropes into
one OF the lifeboats. and before she
was let down she had the thoughtful
ness to go to her stateroom and put
flask OF whisky into her satchel. which
she fastened to her life preEeryer. The
sea was high. and the four sailors in
charge OF the life boat became ex-
hausted by their herculean task OF
managing the boat and baiing out tho
waves which threatened TO swamD
them. Il was at this critical juncture
that the whisky was brought into
rcquisltion, so that everybody In the
BOAT was finally rescued. 1t is tholr
testimony that It Was tho contents Of
the flask that saved them.-Kansas
