her that our friends would be sure to

and drank until nearly sunset and by

furiously drunk and eager for some
fiendish work. They roped a monster

The savages no sooner heard this
remark than they began to yell with
delight They ran toward the girl. and
three or four drunken warriors seized
and dragged her TO the bull. Other
Indians cut me loose from the tree and
forced me along by the side OF the ter

aroused and eager to witness the tor

and foam flying from his nostrils The

weed. III they are out OF tobacco they
stun their pipes with the marrow or
soft parts OF different plants and
woods. or with hair. rags or anything
that will burn and give on smoke.
Men, women and children are alike
addicted to the habit, As soon as the
boys or girls are able to hold a pipe
stem between their tech, they are
taught the art. This habit has been
acquired during the past twenty-five

AT NELSON DOWNING'S LIVERY
STABLE, BARRE, VT.

Belmont Alexander, the royalty bred
young Stallion. whose home has been at
Riverside Park, South Royalton, goes to
the stable of Nelson Downing, in Barre
this week. The youngster deserves
more than a passing notice for there is
not colt in the country of better blood.
He is q son of Alexander, 2.20 10, one
of the best sons of Alcantara, the great
producing son of George Wilks. The
dam of Belmont Alexander, Lady Thomas,
was by Forrest Belmont who was by
the great Belmont. The I'd dam, Hia-
toga Belle, was by Billy Green, Sd dam
by Scots IIiatoga, 4th dam by Handleys'
IIiatoga, 9TH dam by Consul. This colt
was foaled July 26, 1897, and when two
years old stood Is 1-5 hands high and
weighed 90 pounds, No colt of better
form and action was ever seen here and
it will be seen that on either side he
comes from great producing line of
speedy stock.-Correspondent of Boston
