an enclosure and are then clubbed by the cowboys. I have seen thousands of rab- bits clubbed to death or either die of sui location since to escape the dogs that are turned loose in the enclosure they jump upon each other until there are pyramids of little quivering creatures, and they are smothered to death. Their plantive little cries are almost human. Between the dogs and the clubs of the cowboys, the fences for miles are hung with dead rab- bits and I have seen the dogs almost die of exhaustion but one does not sympathize with the rabbits for they are the worst enemies with which ranchmen have to contend However, there is western scene that strikes terror to woman.s heart and that is the sight of herd of wild cattle roaming the plains. Its ap- proach is known by the constant believing that is made by the infuriated cattle and their coming is always accompanied by such clouds of dust as to completely ob- scure the view
 'I recall the occasion that an English girl and myself hastened to the top of an enclosure that we might see the cattle herded The fence which was constructed partly of iron was quite high and we felt perfectly secure to sit there and enjoy the effort of the cowboks in herding the cat tie. We had worn our white sun bonnets to protect our pompadours from the dust and we judged that it was the sight of these sun bonnets that influenced the great herd of cattle to become even more in- furiated. Just as the herdsmen had sue ceded in bringing them quite near the en- closure they glimpsed us perching on the fence and they immediately paved the earth more vigorously and finally rushed back at a mad pace across the plains.
 "This English girl friend of mine was in California a greater part of the time that we lived on our ranch. Her father owned a magnificent ranch and they entertained a great deal The most delightful recol- lectons that I have of the west are my visits to this young woman. She had a number of her English traps over and they lived very fashionably. I went with their party to visit the Yosemite Valley, and we had numberless jaunts together. They have returned to England and this sum

 Miss Carrie BrideweM. contralto in the choir of Doctor Parkhurst's church in New York. Is not only beautiful and young, but she has made a reputation with marvellous rapidity. Miss Bridewell is one of num- Der of southern women who have won fame recently in New York. She belongs to an old creole family in New Orleans. She spent her childhood and early womanIhood fin Birmingham. Ala. She went to New York short time ago to study music, and her sweet, rich voice soon attracted atten- tion in church circles. Her place in Doctor Parkhurst's choir is reported to be one of the best paid positions in New York.
 Miss Bridewell owes her rapid rise in musical circles to the part she took in the Maine Musical festival held in Portland and MT. Chapman. Madame Sembrich, whose genius and generosity are synonymous terms, was the singer of the festival, and after the opening concert she became the warm friend and patron of the young New York vocalist She advised her as to her method and her teacher She laid plans for her future and interested herself in her present needs. The result of it all is that Miss Bridewell, although choir and con- cert singer of renown, is studying hard under the best masters to be found in New York, and next fall she will go abroad to complete her studies and step into place already waiting for her on the lyric stage.
