They Saw the Point.

An American farmer near Guadala.
jara convinced his Mexican neigh bors
that oxen can do more work under
American yOkes, so generally used in
the republic. The American brought
several modern yokes from the United
States and used them with success.
The curiosity Of his Mexican friends
was aroused. and they proceeded to
ask questions.
We'll" said the American, when
you lasso steer and the lasso gets
around his neck what do you do?'
Turn him loose" was the reply.
"Why?"
Because he's too strong for us that
way"
That's it," answered the American.
His strength is in his neck. not in his
horns.''
The MeXicans saw the point, and
now yokes Of United States manufac-
ture are generally used in that neigh.

HIS HEAD LIKES THE HEAT.
But the Negro Always Tries TO Keep
Ills Heels Cool.

1t has often been said that the ca
pacity OF the negro race for enduring
hcat>ha never been fully tested An
incident rCiated by Il dairymar living
on the outskirts of the city seems to
bear out this assertion.
This dairyman has young negro
boy who looks after the cattle and
does chores around the place. The on
ly effect that the heat produces in his
case is y desire 10 SlUmbpv. The dairy
man had young calf in the barnyard,
and as the sun WAS pouring in on the
poor hDilpal his wife sent "Carlina"
out to turn the calf loose. so that lie
could seek Il shady spot. After wait
ing an hour for his return the house
wife went to the barnyard to investi-
gate. There she found both boy and
calf curled up in the hot and sitting
barnyard. The calf was dead from
the effects Of the sun, but the boy was
slumberng peacefully by it's side
While negro can stand any amount
Of heat on his head he loves to cool his
heels. 1t is common sight in the
winter to see negro boy on frosty
morning with his head bundled up to
keep out the cold and at the same time
walking unconcernedly along the
frosty ground in his bare feet. One OF
the hottest places in the city on a hot
day is at the lumber wharfs Of the
Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
road. When the men knock off for
noon. they frequently take q nap with
their faces upturned to the rays of the
blazing sun. At the same time they
get their feet under the shadow of
some friendly lumber piIe.--Florida

BRANDON WANTS $4,000.
Brought Suit Yesterday Against the
Salt Lake & Ogden Railway.

Just one year ago yesterday, Ray F.
Brandon, who claims to be citizen of
Wyoming. undertook to ride over the
Salt Lake & Ogden railroad from Center
complaint in a $1,000 damage suit filed IN
the United States district court yesterday,
he did so only under great difficulty
Brandon alleges that he had a ticket
good for passage over the road, that the
conductor to whom it was presented re-
fused to honor it and when the train
reached BOuntiful he was put OFF, by the
conductor and brakeman He also says
he was assaulted and beaten and further
more he alleges that these same train
men inflicted grievOus wounds upon mis-
face, head and hand, and to make things
worse, applied insulting and profane cpl
thetS, to his damage in the sum of $3.50
After he was elected from the car in
which he was riding, il is charged Ly
the plaintiff that the trainmen laid viO-
lent hands upon him and imprisoned him
on the train and brought him to SAT-
Lake, where he was turned over to the
police officer and again imprisoned Tor
about one hour. All this experience, he
believes, is worth $1,000, and asks for
judgment of the court on the two counts
for $1,000
Richards & Varian appear as attorneys
for Brandon.
An oficer of the Salt Lake & Ogden
road said yesterday, when his attention
was called to the case. that he reme.n-
bered the instance and that the COP
ductor was. justified in ejecting Brandon
from the train. He claimed that Bran
don. had purchased an excursion ticket to
the Lagoon, which was sold at the re-
duced rate of % cents The regular rate
is 60 cents, except while the resort is
open during the summer months. Bran
don did not go through to the Lagoon,
but stopped off at Centerville.
Returning, these reduced rate tickets
are only good from the Lagoon, fnd IN

rules of the company, the conductor had
a perfect right to demand the local fare.
This he did, and Brandon refused to pay
1t, which was the cause of the trouble.

COUNTS SWAY LIMITED.
Powers Accept Waldersee as Com
mandar With Conditions.

New York, Aug ia dispatch TO
the Tribune from London says: De-
spite the assertions so confidently re-
peated that all the powers. have ac-
cepted the unconditional appointment
OF Count Won Waldersee as commander
ln-chief of the allied forces, it is still
believed here that several governments
have given their consent to the counts
nomination with important limitations
of his freedom of action. 1t is pointed
out in Paris, and by responsible states
men like NJ. Meline, that under the
law of February, 1874, no foreign Of
nicer can hold, even nOminally or pro-
Visiondlly, command of any body of
French troops. At present the counts
commission from the powers would
make him rather chief of a council of
officers than chief.
No doubt if the allied army is ac-
tually engaged in a battle with the
Chinese, the German field marshal will
be in command and his tactical dispo-
sitions will be carried out by all ranks
and nationalities, but on the larger
question of strategy and policy the at
titude of the chiefs of the various for
elgn contingents will be largely deter
mined by instructions from home It
l. possible, however, that before Count
Won Waldersee reaches the Pei Ho a
more definite understanding between
the powers as to their objects and pur-
poses in China will have been reached.

Chinese Mines were Vain.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE dispatch of
General Yineviteh, commander of the
Russian troops in the province of Pc Chi
Ii. to the Russian minister OF war. Gem
eral KOuroptkine, describing the character
Of Pei Tsans and Yang Tsun, has been
published here hut adds little to the de-
tails already known.
General Linevitch estimates that the
Chinese at Pei Tsang were 5000 strong.
He says their left flank was mined and
provided with bomb-ufoofs. Their hpr-
ried fight prevented them from destroying
a bridge of boats. and this ena bledythe al
lies to capture the whole camp. including
thirteen guns
At Yang Tsun, General Linevitch esti-
men, The Russian losses were two Off
GERS and il6 men wounded.
The report concludes: Our troops are
bivouacking at Yang Tsun and are in
splendid health"
