RABIES ON THE RANGES.
Rsnchman says Dogs Give IL Ia Coy
otes, and They Give Ii to
Horses and Cattle.

Hydrophobia is reported among the
herds of cattle and horses on the ranges
of Routt and Rio Blanco counties, Col.
for some time, and have communicated
1t TO the coyotes, which, in turn, have
bitten ponies and steers until they, too,
suffer with il, says the Denver Times.
This news was brought TO Denver by
Jim Brady from his ranch on the White
river, not far from Rangeley, and he
says the malady has already attacked
died, and others will not live over few
days.
According to Brady, all the symp-
toms of rabies are present-frothing at
the mouth, CLASSY eyes and aversion to
food and drink, especially the latter
Several COWS have become so crazed as
to leopard the lives OF the cowboys,
and a revolver or rife crusade has been
inaugurated against all animals whose
actions betray the presence of the
germs.
Brady, who is a frontiersman of wide
experience, says that in all his life on
the ranges he never encountered such
state of affairs, and thinks that un-
less "a sharp fight against the coyotes,
dogs and infected cattle and horses is
waged, it may spread TO human beings.
He expressed himself as being anx-
ious to see some action taken to stamp
out the disease in its present compare
lively incipient condition, before it gets
into the big herds. So far il is confined
TO few small punches which have
roamed without herders.
DR.. Gresswell, state veterinarian,
when asked about the matter, said that
there are a number of cases Of hydro
phobia among range cattle, and that its
presence is directly traceable to the
dogs and coyotes.

When Fort DoneIson Fell.

General Buell's troops occupied central
Kentucky until about the beginning of
February, 1862, when he went TO cooper
ate with General Grant at Fort Donelson.
One brigade of his army played an inn
portant part in that battle, while the bulk
of it went overland TO Nashville. Colonel
Stone was with this body, and says that
when the news of the surrender of Fort
Donelson reached Nashville there was n
universal panic. The news on Saturday
night was that Grant was whipped, and
next day everybody went to church in ac-
acknowledgement of the event. But before
the citizens had done with their public
thanksgiving reports of the success of
Grant were received, with the addition
that the Union army was marching on
Nashville. 1t was 30 miles away, but the
people were in such "a panic that they
seized the first means of transportation
and ran away. When Grants army reached
there several days afterward, the place
was almost entirely deserted. The city
was surrendered TO General Buell., the
mayor coming from his retreat across the
river TO make a dignitied capitulation. -

A PATRIOTIC BABY.
He Was Born with "U So and stars on
His Breast After the Fight
az Coamo.

Near the quiet little town of Coamo,
In the province of Ponce, Porto Rico,
was born on Thanksgiving day a re-
markable boy baby. His mother, says
the New York Sun, was a half-breed
West Indian negress and his father
full-blooded negro. The baby is almost
white. More remarkable still are the
markings on the child's breast. On the
right side there is blood-red letter
"U," while on the other side appears
the letter "S" in bluish-purple tint.
About these letters are many white
spots like stars, two on either side of
the neck being five-pointed.
A visitor who saw the baby learned
that during the fight of Coamo last
July, when the Pennsylvania troops
were sent TO the rear of the Spanish
position, the mother was alarmed while
at work in the field near the road by
the approach of the American troops.
She was frightened at their sudden ap-
pearance, and, crouching behind a
hedge, watched them pass.
The regimental colors were sudden
ly planted against the hedge neaf her
a the color bearer rested for few
minutes. She had never seen a full
blooded white man before except the
sunburned and dark-hued Spaniards,
and the Pennsylvania men appeared as
different race to her. The excitement
of the battle that followed added TO
her first surprise, prostrating her for
several days. Nothing was thought of
the experience after she had fully re-
covered until the birth of her baby.

OUR NATIONS HEROES.
There Are New Graves to Deck Ola
This Memorial Day.

This shall be the truest Memorial day
since these United States became a nation.
There are new graves TO be reverently
decked with flowers, the last abiding place
of brave and devoted men who gave their
lives for an oppressed people.
There is no north, no south, no east no
west We are brothers in blood, in heart,
in hand, whole united people. The
hatreds of the civil war have lost their
venom and are forgotten. A splendid and
jubilant patriotism has welded the people
of the nation with indissoluble, unbreaka-
BILE bonds.
So il shall come about that the Memorial
day Of 1899, in the one hundred and twen-
ty-third year of the republic, will be a
day devoted 60 its heroes, and not alone TO
the men who fought TO preserve its integ-
rity when it was rent asunder by inter
necine war.
The grizzled, bluecoated veteran shall
make his laborious way Co the cemetery
as of yore Little white faced maids will
march with him and wagons piled high
with flowers shall follow Bands shall
play the nations songs The Declaration
of Independence shall be read. Earnest
orators will ring forth their eloquence.
But there will be no talk of rebels. The
theme will be the nations heroes. They
will speak of the splendid valor and devo-
ton and sacrifices of those who made pos
sible the greatness of the United States.
A people bound together more closely
than any nation of the earth can clasp
hands over the graves of Grant and Lee
and glory in their mighty genius, their
magnificent courage, their sublime devo-
ton. They may say, "How great We're
we in opposing each other, how tremen-
dous are we togetherl"

Patriotic Massachusetts.

In no state in the Union is Memorial
day so generally observed as in Massachu-
setts. The 185 posts scattered all over the
old commonwealth not only decorate the
graves in their own jurisdiction, but in
many instances visit by delegations outly-
ing districts and remember the fallen by
flag and flower, and so prevalent has been
the custom that in towns where no veteran
organization exists the citizens take upon
themselves the responsibility of thus hon
oring the memory of those who in time OF
need went forth TO do or die.

alleged witty sayings are squeaked
forth from early in the morning until
late at night in peculiarly penetrating
and nerve destroying tones. AT first
the machine efforts at wit amused the
jeweler, and he used 10 laugh heartily
at the comicalities, but these were re-
peated with such deadly persistence
that they began to pail, and from be-
ing amused the tradesman grew into a
negative desperate.
One day the climax was reached when
a customer, who looked like ''ready
money" came in to buy diamond ring
For some reason the machine next door
was quiet for awhile, and the jeweler
was just on the point of closing high
ly profitable sale when the shrill voice
of the phonograph began to sing Get

customer hesitated, and finally told the
jeweer he would call another day. This
incident was the last straw, and the
