HORSE A GREAT JUMPER.
Cleared Chasm of Twenty zone Feet to
Escape a Grizzly.

Escape Grizzly.
Not many horses trained In steeple-
chasing aud ridden by skilled jockeys
could make clean jump of twenty one
feet
When George King. the cowboy,
started out to round up herd Of cat
tie that was pasturlng in the valleys OF
the Santa Ana River he invited an In
dian. Juan Machado. TO accompany him
and help him in the cattle driving. Ma
chado was on the point of agreeing.
when King said joklngly: 1--WE viii
take our guns along and we might get
Il fat bear"
Immediately the Indian appeared to
be in a state of abjeet terror aud re-
fused to take the trip. assuring King
that the grizzly bear always overheard
such threats and that hunters who an
nouneed their object were sure to be
eaten up. Laughing at the Indians
superstition. King started on without
him.
A day or two afterward he was fol-
lowing a lonely trail alone. The trail
led through dense thlcket and was
near the border of a dangerous gulch.
Suddenly the pathway made sharp
curve and disclosed to the cowboys
sight monster grizzly gnawlng at the
qulyering flesh OF a newly killed year
ling. Now, OF all circumstances calcuJ
lated to excite grizzly the interruption
OF his meal Is the surest. Therefore
when the mounted cowboy rode almost
upon him he rushed forward with a
terrifying growl.
The little horse needed no spurs, but
idarted onward through the brush with
Incredible swftness, the angry bear
following close behind. In a moment
the horse and rider were ON the edge
of the gulch. and there was no room
for turning. King and his horse both
knew that There was but one thing to
do. King raised the bride reins. the
little horse gathered her legs beneath
her, sailed straight through the air,
and landed safely ON the edge OF the
opposite bank.
The chasm was twenty-one feet
across. And the Indian said. II told
you so. told you the bear would hear
you. st. Louis Post-Dlspatch.

Destroying the Point.

Every one knows the man who Is
notorious for so telling a story as to
destroy Its point. An English noble
man, Lord T.. was noted for his sue
cess in thus running the prosperity of
a story. The author of collections
and Recollections" exhibits a specimen
of his lordship's peculiar art.
Thirty years ago two large houses
were built at Albert Gate. London. the
size and cost Of which seemed likely to
prohibit tenants from hiring them, A
wag christened them malta and Gfb-
raltar because they can never be
taken"
Lord 2. thought this an excellent
Joke and ran round the town. saying to
every friend he met;
II say, do you know what they call
those houses at Albert Gate? They
call them Malta and Gibraltar because
they can never let them. Isn't 1t aw-
fully good?"
Some one told Lord P. the old rid
die, why was the elephant the last
animal to get into the ark?' TO which
the answer is. Because he had to pack
his trunk"
Lord Z. asked the riddle OF the next
friend he met and gave as the answer.
Because he had to pack his portman-
teau."

A Chicago physician with statistical

An average waltz, the doctor esti.

His Early Experience as "a Book Agent
Makes Him Sympathetic.
Thomas Henry Carter, of Montana,
is considered the smoothest citizen in
the United States Senate, with an ire
sistible tendency to get there Mr..
Carriers success in this particular is at
tributed by many of his friends TO the
fact that he was formerly book agent
and acquired a knowledge of the diff
ferent ways of doing things that has
served him well In political life. When
he lived down in Illinois he used TO
teach school in winters, and during the
summer vacation peddled n variety of
books suitable to the needs of every
community. If he could not sell a
copy of Every Man His Own Lawyer"
at farmhouse he would try the latest
illustrated Bible, and II they didn't
want that he would persuade the girls
to purchase the "I'rue Lovers Album"
which contained pictures of famous
beauties, handsomely engraved, with
sentimental poems and blank leaves
alternating upon which the owner could
record her reflections or secure the au-
tographs OF her friends.
Mr.. Carter laid the foundation OF his
vast fortune In this simple way, and
unlike many men who have risen from
an humble station TO great wealth and
the height of fame he feels a sympathy
with other ambitious young men and
women who are following In his foot

steps. This is the reason he buys every
subscription book that is offered TO him,
no matter what 1t is. No book peddler
ever called on Mr.. Carter without sell
ing him at least one volume, aud his
library contains n remarkable assort-
ment of such works as are peddled
through the farming communities and
the office buildings of our cities.
