THE BOLD RIDER.

On dark moonlight night in July,
when the ground was covered with
snow, solitary horseman might have
been seen riding with several compan-
ions across the wooded prairie. In his
right hand he held his trusty rifle, while
he called loudly for help with the other.
"Help. help! or 1 shall escape"
Hearing his cries, lonely deaf mute,
accompanied by his servants, rushed
up to him slowly and harshly asked him
in gentle voice, if he could refuse the
help, which he then withheld.
Taking him by the heels he dragged
him gently, head first, towards the large
brick house, standing in deserted
spot few rods away, and surrounded
by beautiful garden filled with weeds
and rank underground.
Not living thing was to be seen.
While here and there the thick heavy
woods, which dotted the plain, were
filled with ferocious wild animals,
which were sportingly leaping and
playing about the old mans knee and
growing savagely.

rather Old-89. These two men who
had never before met, became fast
friends, and walking away together
entered into close conversation.
! That evening when Butler went
home he told his wife that he was
about to 60 to Pittsburg. and that he
had secured employment. Butler gave
his wife $4,000 and told her he had his
railroad ticket and some money left,
and that it would not be long before he
would send for her. His poor wife fell
upon his bosom and wept for joy and
gladness, and they both passed the
night in prayer, beseeching the great
Architect of the Universe to guide
them into that path where all men
square their points in honesty and
sobriety. After much prayer and
meditation, the early morning came
and Butler after refreshment went
forth to labor.
He boarded the Limited Express
and arrived in safety; then he called
upon the worthy master of the Iron
Company, who received him with the
open hand of friendship. Butler was
given employment as traveller or
drummer for the Company, and he
faithfully fulfilled his duty. Not long
was it before Butler sent for his wife
and family and provided them with
happy home.
Twenty years have now past and
gone and no person knoweth the early
sorrow and misfortune that overlook
one of Pittsburg's most respected men
while he was a young man. Twenty
years had entirely obliterated the prison
record, and he who was once an object
of pity, is now one of the wealthiest
Iron men of the city of Pittsburg, and
is also the President of the Tubal- Cain
Iron Works.

From up in Converse County, Wyo.,
comes a request to settle a dispute.
One man maintains that Gas rule
shOrthOrn cattle are red and Durhams
roan," while another declares that it is
just the reverse, and we are asked to
settle the controversy. If there is
money up, all bets are off. Neither dis
putant is right. Of course such queries
are rather mirth-prOvoking to those
who are posted: but it should be re-
membered that not even all cattlemen
are informed as to breeds, and the two
names by which the cattle from the
Teeswater have been known in this
country, and the three collars in which
the breed is wrapped, naturally lead to
some confusion on the part of those
whose opportunities to keep posted
have not been the best. The name
"Durham' was originally applied to the
breed, and is yet to some extend among
the older cattlemen, but the name
"shorthorn" superseded it years ago,
and is in general and official use.
Shorthorn cattle may be red, or white,
or -and-white, or roam; all of these
cOlors are characteristic of the breed.
In England roans and whites predomi-
nate; in this country preference has
long been marked for solid reds, but
the roans have been growing greatly in
public favor the past few years. 1t is
useless and confusing to continue the
use of the name "Durham" in referring
to the shorthorn cattle. They are one
and the same breed, and are sometimes
alluded to as ''the red, white and roans,"
just as Herefords are referred to as
"white faces" and Aberdeen angus as

Next morning Butler arose full of
hope-sleep, the friend of the weary,
had done much for him. He looked
upon the loving face of his devoted
wife, and his thoughts ran wild of what
the possibilities might have been. He
remembered so much: the brief morn
ing meal was over, and bidding adieu
to the little ones, he fondly caressed his
wife, saying, "Sweet love, for you | can
be brave, and with Gods help, | will be
successful; and with a tender embrace
he went forth to meet the world once
again.
Adown the main street he Wended
his way without knowing exactly his
destination, and slowing up at one OF
the crossings, gentleman who was
standing near approached and bid the
good morning. Butler stood gazing
into the eyes of this stranger, all
knowledge of him was lost, and as
Butler had had one dire experience OF
meeting strangers in this manner, ne
did not rush to any quick acquaintance,
but presently BilPs eye met those OF
his new friend who gently enquired if
he was looking for employment. But
Ter said yes. Then the stranger said
that the Tubal- Cain Iron Works, at
Pittsburg, were in need of good man.
Buffers heart almost sank within
him, and he said that he would be glad
to go there and work for that company.
Then the stranger asked if Butler
knew them, and Butler said yes, but it
was many years ago. Some ray Ofhope
seemed to burst before poor Buffers
eyes, and he tremblingly extended his
hand, which was grasped by the other
in true friendship.
Butler was astOnished when his new
friend asked him how old was his
mother, and he said that indeed if she
had been alive she would have been

the old man kindly threw him on the

amp then withdrew.
Rousing himself from his stupor, the
man sprang nimbly to his feet and
fastening to the bar, he found himself
alone. In husky voice he loudly
ordered drink for himself and CON-
panions, and raising the glass to his
lips, he exclaimed:

THE FARM.
1.-THE end

Half the disappointment in raising
Aorses comes from neglect of the colt
during the first year or two of his life.
Farmers seem slow to recognize that to
obtain good horse something more is
necessary than merely to mate good
mare to a frst-class stallion. No mat
Ger how good colt may be when
dropped, it will only turn out "plug,
if badly fed during the critical time
that comes with weaving, and contin-
aes while growth is active. Insufficient
food and exposure to cold and to the
attacks of parasites, both external and
internal, are the rocks which will wreck
the best intentiOned efforts in horse
breeding. A writer in an exchange
sums mp the matter in these words
HThe quality of an animal not only de-
ponds on the blood, but also on the
management and feed it may have re-
ceived while growing to maturity, and
that develops size, substance, stamina
and soundness" BY improper care you
can stunt the size, check the substance,
weaken the stamina, and make horses
liable to unsoundness. 1t is not blub-
Der you want for your feed, but bone
and muscle, that should be ripe and
ready at maturity. The superiority or
mediocrity of our horses does not only
depend on improved standards of breed
ing, but better system of horse-keep-
ing. "Blood will TELL" but generous
care is the best interpreter. Right bred
and right fed will catch the high dollar
now and to-morrow.-Farm News.

Dor. For miles there are lesser
lagoons after lagoons with the deep
blue sea in the distance lashing itself
against the coral reefs. One passes
through miles of waving rice fields
flooded by the springs that crop out
near the sea.
Inland, upon the slopes towards
the mountains above, are vast areas
of green sugar cane fields, and every
few miles one passes a large sugar
factory. The train passes through

Harbor, with its tree-embowered cot.

1t is all a beautiful picture hemmed
in, or framed, by brown mountains
with ever changing tints, as the sun
rises to the zenith, then descends into
the sea. Then the train passes the
cliffs, rounding Waanae Point, that
are perpetually enveloped in the ehu
kai (sea mist). Here another revela.
ton meets the eye. There is great
valley completely surrounded by
mountains. The lagoons are gone
and the sea beats against the rocks,
flashing itself into spray. The whole

more rice fields on the Waialua river,

the spot first created by Dame Nature,
and beautified by the hand of man.
The hotel is situated among the trees
on the banks of the Waialua river,
where the river makes bend before
emptying into the sea. The pretty
little depot is on the sea. side of the
river, and one has to cross on rustic
bridge to get to the hotel. This
bridge is curiosity. At either end
there are little summer houses with
matched roofs, and tables and rustic
seat S, where drinks may be served
while one whites away the lazy hours
watching the dashing sea and the
placid river that flows lazily under
the arched bridge.
But the hotel itself is dream Of
beauty. 1t resembles magnificent
country mansion with its great roof,
broad verandas surrounding the
house, and massive pillars that sup
port the roof. The architecture of the
building is conspicuous for its BEAU
tiful curves. Viewed from every side
it is massive and symetric; but the
interior appointments are no less sur
prising, for their beauty and elegance.
The whole of the first floor, with its
lofty ceilings and hardwood finish, is
given up to a richly-furnished draw
ing room at one end and dining. room
at the other end. In the center,
between these two rooms, is the Office
facing grand staircase leading to
the upper story. AT either end of the
counter are two Corinthian pillars and
two entrances from the broad We
randa. BY throwing open two large
folding doors these three rooms can
be thrown into one.
In curved portico in the drawing
room, and corresponding portico is
at the other end in the dining room
are two little fountains playing sur

palms. The whole place teens with
Romantic elegance. The bedrooms in

elegantly furnished having the same
air of wealth and luxury. Surrounding
the place are a number of cottages

raj districts, and will soon handle an
American hoe and strip cane with
the dizziness of Louisiana plantation
darkies.
Mr.. Canavarrh,, Portugal's repre-
sentative, believes there are about
1900 Portuguese engaged in sugar
production exclusively in all the
islands. Though his duties respecting
immigration are simply to see that his
countrymen are properly treated, he
is the best authority on immigration
matters. In earlier times the labor
ers were better treated, but in later
years the plantations, with two or
three exceptions, paid but little atten-
ton to the comforts of the Portuguese
and consequently Hawaii is not con-
sidered by those in the home land a
good place to emigrate to. Asiatics
have demoralized the domestic life of
Europeans on plantations. Brazil
gets the bulk of emigrants, and the
South African and other colonies get
nearly all the balance. Quite a
number go to Boston. The immi-
grafton here during the past lS years
has been spasmodic, sometimes three
or four years elapsing between
steamers. There are no contract
laborers here now to speak of, most
of those engaged in raising cane
having their own leaseholds, or else
tracts in fee simple. That the
Portuguese are thrifty and desirable
citizens is attested by the fact tina,
the colony in all Hawaii own reaI
and personal property of the value Of
$4,000, 900, while 100000 of this
sum is in cash deposits in the Posta
Savings Bank alone.
Mr.. Goo Kim, China's Vice Con
sui, is of the opinion that $l2.5O is
too little to pay laborer for q
months work if ons wants to make
anything out of him. Even if the
restriction law were repealed very
few Chinese would ever come here
for so small figure. 1t costs thu
coolie $l.5O per month for his ex
penses in getting here, and after tina
