Catching a runaway horse is some
thing of a job, and yet it can be done
successfully If the right method is
employed. Most persons when try
ing TO stop a runaway horse merely
add to the panic which has caused
the beast to take to his heels. They
stand in the middle of the road and
throw up their hands and shout. No
runaway was ever stopped by such
tactics. When the horse is coming
toward You, start to run in the same
direction as fast as you can; when he
catches up with you, and before he
passes-horses don't go with the
rapidity of a bullet, even when run
ming awaY-jump for his bride rein
and hold to it, running along all the
while as fast as possible. The check
thus given by the pull on the bit Will
almost always stop a runaway. If
You are on horseback you can do this
with ease, and with very little danger.
This is the method employed by pro-
fessionals and by the mounted police
men, and they do it with much neat
ness and dexterity.-Meuark Sunday

BRYAN AND HOGG TO RACE ON
OSTRICHES.

AUSTIN, Tex, December 2S.-Ex-
Governor Iogg is great lover of
outdoor exercise, and if all reports
which are current in political circles
here to-day are true, he is going to
give w. j. Bryan an outing that will
result in much merriment, if moth

The big Ex-Governor has two big,
tame ostriches that he bought over a
year ago to train to drive to buggy.
He has conceived the idea of having
race for the fun of it between Mr..
Bryan and himself Oh these ostriches.
Both men have been trying to ride
the ostriches for week. AS soon as
they grow sufficiently expert they
will attempt to have the race.
There have been several mishaps
during the efforts to convince the
birds that it is good thing for them
to be ridden, but the two riders arc
persistent, and they have promised

CORKsCREw BOAT.
Construction Being Arranged for at

Newport News Ship Yards.
A syndicate of New York capital
lists has agreed to furnish $4,000,
with which to build a small boat on
the corkscrew plan, with the further
understanding that if it demonstrates
its ability on a commercial scale to
approximate the speed which the
models have reached, that of so
miles per hour, the syndicate will
furnish sufficient capital to build a
mail boat.
The inventor promises that his
craft will cross the Atlantic in less
than three days. The vessel, the
construction of which is being ar.
ranged for at the Newport News
Shipyards, is not intended for pas
senger service, but only for the con.
veYance of mails and fast freight
and for use in life saving stations
1t is so constructed that it can pene.

A SAD STORY.

Old Mr.. Hilarious Hough, from
down in Prince George county, has
been sent to the asylum for weak
minds. 1t is sad story. AS
heard it it was this: About three
years ago Mr.. Hough was travelling
on the Atlantic and Danville road,
when just below Suffolk he met with a
very nice young man. After some
conversation Mr.. Hough discovered
that he knew the young mans father
and that the young man was dentist.
"Where do you practic," asked Mr..
Hough. "Well," said the young
dentist, "out of every month ! spend
a week at Suffolk, a week at Frank
lin, week at Emporia, a week at
Boykins, a week at Newsoms, aud =
week at Waverley." The old gentle
man looked puzzled and asked the
young man to say it over again, which
he did. This seemed to soothe him
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1900-01-19

and he smoked while In silence.
Presently he said, "Would you mind
telling me how you divide your time
each month over again?" The ex-
tractor of roots went over it once
more. Just then the conductor called
the old gentleman's station and Mr..
llough got off the train looking dizzy.
AS he met his friends on his walk
home ne gazed at them with vacant
stare. When he reached his house
his wife, upon seeing him, ran for
the camphor bottle. "Oh, it's moth
ing," he said, 81 guess | can figure it
out" And he began figuring. lie
has been figuring ever since. 1t grew
from bad to worse until last week,
when after ciphering over five square
miles of brown paper his mind gave
way. The young dentist is still
going his merry Richmond

He finally pushed open the swing

held him up demanding to know his
business.
The negro at once became excited
and enraged at the interference aud
shouted, "Stand back dall stand

SKELETONS TOSUNKEN SHIPS.

Bones OF Sailors Made Fast to
Two Schooners.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 2Sth.-
Divers who had been at work on the
wrecks of the schooners Howard II.
uanscom and James ii. Pace, which
lie on the bottom of Long Island
Sound off Montauk Point, report a
ghastly find.
These divers report that they found
the skeletons of men Of the crews of
both vessels lashed TO their masts,
rails and in the rigging of the
schooners. They found pieces of the
clothing of the sailors clinging to the
skeletons, and believe that some of
the skeletons can be identified.
The Hanscom, which belonged to
this port, was commanded by Cap
tain Marin Holmes. She sailed from
Philadelphia on November 23rd,
1898, with cargo of coal for Prov
idence. The Pace was commanded
by Capt. Gaffield, of West Dennis,
Mass, where she belonged. She left
Philadelphia Oh Nov. 25, 1898, with a
cargo of coal for Boston. Captain
Holmes and Captain Garfield were
old friends.
Neither vessel was heard of until
the divers went down off Montauk
Point to see what was blocking the
ship channel. 1t is the theory OF
old seamen that the Hanscom and
the Pace fouled each other in that
terrible November storm. Both YES
sells were probably laboring desper-
ately in the big seas and their crews
would naturally be lashed to their
posts.
The veterans believe the schooners
struck suddenly and with such force
that they sank almost Immediately

Pole Cat EARNS.

The largest skunk farms in Indi-
ana are in Dekalb and Lake coun-
ties. The odoriferous animals are
raised by the ten thousands.
The swell lady who aspired to be
"just the thing" in what she wears
on her back, is laying aside her seal
skin and donning the glossy pelts of
the skunk. OF course she would be
Mortified if anyone should accuse her
of wearing a plain skunk's skin, but
that is the thing she buys under an
imported name from Paris.
The seals coat is not near so glossy
and pretty as the pelts of these little
animals. A black skunk is worth
81 in any market to-day, and the
striped ones are worth $3.50 up,

WIFE SLEEPS WITH A RAZOR
Washington Man Gives This as a
Reason for Divorce.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. - After
five months of married life, Henry
Schwakopf has begun suit for
divorce against Emma Schwakopf,
on the ground of cruelty. He alleges
that Emma has formed the discon-
certing habit of sleeping with razor
under her pillow. She will vouchsafe
no explanation of this eccentric
habit, and refuses to give any when
asked.
Henry says he very often lies awake
half the night wondering at his wife's
peculiar taste. The thing has SO
strained his nerves that it affects his
health, and as Emma will not give
up the razor, nor consent to keep it
anywhere except under her pillow.
Henry is driven to ask for divorce.
